More Love

Full Eyes

In my dreams once beauties face

often of wonder and of grace

as on my shoulder her head was placed

but in life, these images are erased

when first I saw your lovely face

Full eyes, I have, as fresh in place

views of your figures’ moving grace

of these dream sights, nothing in place

as gone they are without a trace

your image has taken their every place

As I to hold you closely in thought

due to the changes your love has brought

and now my life is trouble fraught

to bring you here, fresh and real

so we can touch, our love to seal

Just Words

Words alone are coming fair

from across the waters, over there

from a land so far away

that while I’m in night he’s in day

making it near impossible to play

as I’d like this very day

I am amazed at his words in play

speaking of life in harder days

where once was love to live

now is dead, he grieves

and I to roll up my sleeves

in effort to bring his heart to ease

We share words through screen and air

ones to speak of what grows there

within my heart and in my mind

I want him close for sharing kind

as more and more our thoughts align

cast off finally are tears of brine

As I say the words so dear

that bring him welcome and surely cheer

even though he still has fears

that I’m not real, to bring him tears

as when he doubts, his words quite clear

they stab my heart as deadly spears

But then, I speak again

to give proving words to bring him in

restore his trust, a timely must

this because it is him I trust

to hold me close in time of need

as its just his words that I can read

His to read whatever I say

as I am hoping he will come to play

among the dreams we share this day

and out in the world of our everyday

I love him, I do, what can I say

he’s the one, no word play

Sands of Time

Sunset on Southern beach

across this sea I wish to reach

to travel far under sky and stars

to reach my man, who lives so far

Away

Here I am on the sand, walking

when I would rather be with him talking

or in many ways making our days

better, so much better in many ways

Exciting

We’ve talked awhile through distant miles

finding in our hearts and minds each other’s style

memories made, to life upgrade, we smile

each time we speak piecing together our life tiles

Future plans

A future too far away, as my man

extends the time to have him in hand

across the sea in different land

too long this time, it’s span

Walking time’s sands

A Sight to See

Waiting for me to find a way

rest my beauty, I hate to say

too long the time, extended delay

before we meet and find interplay

Time, it’s been since more than friends

my mind and heart her truest win

but each want to touch love-kin

and hold each other past the end

Yet time must pass, alas, alas

before a touching comes to pass

a situation too unkind

as waiting long is hard on minds

Brings risk to love’s precious space

and if left too long, time could erase

to leave a hollow in heart-space

not a single love embrace

My concern, a troubling state

and she, I’m sure shares worries state

not something good on living’s plate

this the concern I must erase

Because there is more love a-place

in my life as her to grace

and fill the emptiness long in place

to touch would this concern erase

Her the sight I long to see

a precious woman there in front of me

finely dressed as is want of she

and her to take my hand for me

Art in Love

My eyes to see the art in love

when I look at you

Every time I see your face

I know that love is true

Ever since your coming

you’ve chased away my blues

As the art of love is how you dress

how your thoughts and mine enmesh

How your form my life impacts

to raise my heart and show erect

And for you

First it was my face, then words

that touched your heart

To make it live, in dreams

encourage you to reach and lean

One possibility

So that try you did, to win my heart

of my life become a part

It is your wiles that are the art

to capture, make me a part

Our lives not again the same

and it is you I have to blame

And “YES” I’m glad you came

my life has taken the grandest change

Now that you’re here

and will remain

Day in the Sun

It is time, yes, time for one

to join with another for love and fun

to find one another and live among

the treasures that we make

memories which fore we take

to have and hold for all our days

and beyond

It is vital to have our ways

our days out, out in the sun

where living is spun

where life is fun in the play

the coming of more, we pray,

ever forward in the Sun

Heaven Reaches

She speaks of love in the afternoon

in the morning, oh so soon

and of how much care she will give

as we in time forward live

I offer only that which I can give

my affections fresh and true, with thrills

that come with love making skills

breakfast to dinner, meal making frills

As we speak our dreams into this world

holding hands and hearts, this boy, this girl

to offer each other as well our time

with hope of longevity and songs that rhyme

And in these dreams of just off time

as our thoughts and forms align

Heaven reaches toward our lives

telling us we shall survive

Otto

Close this friend which she holds dear

a fur-ball pup, a Frenchie clear

a friend indeed as puppies go

a French bulldog and happy so

who waits on her for every walk

a confidant to whom she talks

Blond and happy, he’s always there

or with her friend who helps keeping care

in friends home with others there

look the same, and share their care

sweet the pup who grew up fair

giving of love as family there

Otto’s support to hold her up

when times were troubled,

or times were fair

comforting in a happy way

there when needed any day

giving love, and loved deep, come what may

Changing Lives, Changing Ways

Yes, changing lives, this the way

coming of Sunrise in every day

Nothing true remains the same

there something to lose and something to gain

Isn’t that obvious?

Isn’t that plain?

Work is had, then sudden lost

another to try with different boss

Where boss a trial of will and want

his wanting your body well a-flaunt

You denying, to run away

seek new work that very day

These are things that come in play

experiencing life, it’s changing ways

And then the man to hold her hand

if she can win him, sure she can

And he to find from broken heart

a chance to live again, apart

From history of failed loves

finally able to give past a shove

Each is glad to find good change

find them driving down best of lanes

Where fresh are flower to bloom again

within their live, life’s game to win

Talking Hearts

Hearts speak, no word is said

they write in life, no words can be read

yet move the world and shake the bed

this most often where future lead

Your heart tells you what next to do

reaching to me, page coming through

to find dead heart, and wake it true

from it resting place in deeper blues

Your heart speaks to mine

there, some hope of likeness find

heart takes over belaying mind

common ground is quick to find

And hearts sing without a word

no melody there to be heard

yet much conversation spurred

as the old man’s heart is lured

Into a part of life thought lost

mind taking over, to be boss

until heart rings, a sea across

echo rings, now heart is boss

Wavering

Moments to treasure, here a gift

love is offered, joy scented whiff

of what could be, or be a myth

Wavering notions, crossed emotions

Too oft he’d seen enticements come

ones with little in valued sum

to carry forward, happiness won

And now, unsure, he wavers

One day happy to the core

the next, thoughtful, shaken more

by the possibility of loss, heart scored

Her to wonder, “Is he mine, for sure?”

Hoping ever for that something more

to tell her certain, tell her sure

that he’s full in and wanting more

Days and days keep going fore

her seeking certainty, him not sure

hard on her, this story sure

Praying ever for good outcome sure

A Token

She, in trouble, asks a token

to ease her mind, her heart near broken

a simple thing to bring assurance

rather than feared, deeper remembrance

of what could have been

A small sum to help her win

a new employment to begin

where life and living improve again

and with his gift of what was spared

he proved to her he really cared

Her to take this as growing trend

she knew she’d win him in the end

and so, going out further on the limb

she offered herself, heart and limb

not this action to be on whim

He to ignore the gesture

still being part of a marriage fixture

though it failed long ago

and him staying with, even so

he to hold place, refrain

Her suggestion not given name

her heart sinks, this lack of fame

the words she’d said, asking

Will you be my man?”

seems, him not listening in the end
