Love Showing
Between Us
A time for us
a dreaming plus
sharing of our truth
A time we’ve each been seeking
since our early youth
Often were the false starts
misguided acts in fact
unworthy of life enact
Ones which left us thinking
we were choice-inept
Those are gone in past, so long
leaving traces all along
recalls hard and strong
These become our guidance
to better times and ways
Choices not long for easy say
each to choose a differed path
to travel along our way
You to find, heart and mind
my vision come to life
As I smile heart and mind
to see the “you” I found
you, before me, kind
This, a special time
you, a remarkable find
And between us, in this time
a gladness that aligns
as our heart dance in rhyme
As love to flow between us
in this day and time
Softly, he speaks to me
I hear him softly speaking to me
and my heart is thrilled
that it’s him I see
I was looking for so long
through vistas far and wide
through times I could hardly abide
Now the only thing I want
is him by my side, hand in mine
hearts and minds, one
Dreaming of You
I’ve been dreaming of you
this night and ever long
the scent of your perfume
a bright and pleasing song
I’ve been dreaming of you
to you my heart belongs
in every instant of my day
your image brings a song
I’ve been dreaming, yes, I have
of all that’s coming true
my hand in yours
the ending of my blues
So, you have told me
that you’ve been dreaming too
of life lived well
under love’s spell
So, you have told me
you truly ache to be
in our same room
to share your joy with me
So, we dream together
as together we will be
climbing every mountain
sailing beyond the seas
This we do toward dreaming
all our efforts and our schemings
to have each other real
in our lives to feel
When I was Sad
Yes, I was lost, all but gone,
but you came to frame
the possibilities ahead
You drew me back
from being dead,
dying
emotionally
Care you did, as I hid
the sadness held inside
I talked to you
found something new
your words, your grace
to write new trace
for my living
Thank you true
because living, sharing
with lovely caring
is something I longed to do
where my living
long held goal
was finding, ever finding you
Special
You are
somehow special to my heart
your affections are a part
connected, I hope you ever are
as my heart is filled with gladness
to have you share
love, life and pleasantries
my wants and needs directly eased
as my love you quickly seized
would that you were here with me
where I too, could do for you
what you have,
in your special way, done for me
Touching Words
I have heard your touching words
my man from beyond, none absurd
they speak to me, and ever will
me hanging on, my heart to trill
Even before you said those words
longed for by my heart
now become a part
of all my life and art
Yet you miss a fact
of our interact
you have, in your worldly way
expressed your love in many ways
As our interplay began to sway
moving about as dancer’s play
I have come to feel as you
with you, there is something new
Something about you touches my heart
sets you distinct and well apart
and I too sometimes swoon
wanting you close very soon
So that ravish me you will
Damn! I long for that thrill
as from my heart to yours
sharied love will overspill
And us, to find a future, will
a dream right now
but soon a thrill
hold you, I ever will
Words to Each
Her to say, “A lovely day”
and I respond, “it’s raining”
Her to tell of restaurant meal
and I to speak of quick cooked steak
She to tell me of company dear
and I tell her of no one here
So, we keep talking, staying near
to ease tension when the other not here
She tells me, “You’re the best man I’ve ever met”
and I to remind , “We have not yet”
I to say, “ I’m just an image on your screen”
Her to say, “You know what I mean”
And I do, her words to tell of her love true
her company in chatting something quite new
Her to tell me, “It is you I love”
and I to imagine a flying Dove
I tell her, “I feel it too,
as in my heart is love for you”
A Friend
She tells of a friend
that one who helps
and true defends
Honored is she who listens
who makes her friend her mission
to guard, to love, to lend
And Monique is true
this friend who knew
when love came fresh and new
Within her heart and life
could see she longed to be wife
to this man across the sea
And he, welcomed
and able to be accepted
with joy in life interjected
As friend tells of change
which in each life arrange
much in time explains their happiness
Night is Filled
Love is found and it abounds
admiration true and sound
each their heart where happiness found
inside seen as heaps and mounds
to spill over into each night
in thoughts and dreams a-flight
as night is filled with thoughts of each
as we build in measure plans and lovely themes
to bring hearts and forms together
with no wit of concern for weather
or the travails of life
between husband and wife
to be
Faint Disturbance
An allusion in his mind
something there is that disturbs him, which is hard to define
a discomfort, discontent, a thing misaligned
but nagging, at edge of mind
not respected by his heart
dividing, heart and mind apart
He asks of him, “How can this be?
A truth is there I miss to see.”
and he looks, brow furrowed
vision blurred, eyes narrowed
to find what’s disturbing in his mind
disturbance of trust is all he finds
And though his heart is well aligned
with her who speaks her heart and mind
where before her, there were none to find
who closely matched his dreams refined
yet the troubles that he’d seen
bring distrust in, cold and mean
Yet small doubt there is, though pushed away
needful her presence in his day
doubt not given full time-of-day
as love most wanted each given sway
and he to enjoy their wordings play
love comes first any time, any day
Into the Background
Although doubt was there in hiding place
love and laughter was given grace
as speak they did, each time and place
wanting only to hold, embrace
with each the other to honor
in each moment of their growing fonder
As anything that would disturb
be it thorn or prickly herb
thought of sadness from the past
memory of sadder time gone at last
or any words from others about
not let in, just thrown out
So that love, found, could have its day
the dancing moments, their swing and sway
increasing joy from discussion’s play
as come together each time to say
to one another as pass the days
I love you more than yesterday
Singing Hearts
With singing hearts
each to play its precious part
to tell of closeness discovered
this is special for intimate lovers
He says: “You are my heart,
my truest love.”
She too responds: “We fit each other as hand in glove.
None before have I ever loved.”
Hearts in tune,
same rhythmic beat
He speaks and says, “In all my days,
I’ve not found another so joyful,
bringing brightness to my living day.”
She to reveal her mind,“You are the man,
my special find, the one that fills me
in ways every kind.”
Loving, loving, very soon,
song in sway to make each swoon
His words speak more,
“It’s life with you I wish explore,
your body, your mind, my discovering
and pleasure-filled chore.”
She to say: “In night and day,
it is you, only you, with whom I am wanting more,
touching me, learning me,
our lives to explore.”
As back and forth come joy’s adore
expressions of love shared, need more
His response, “I love you ever, and even more.
I want to learn if you snore,
watch you do yoga mornings more,
hold you gently in my arms,
and feel your excitement, living charms”
She says to this,“I love you more, to touch you,
hold you in the future days that we explore.
I love you, I love you, forever more.”
