My love is hurting, I feel pain
There’s
nothing I can do
We are changing, almost unseen
A death is
coming true
What is dying has no words
Cannot be
seen or felt
Her trust in me is perishing
A mortal
blow’s been dealt
What is, cannot be changed erased
Cannot be
taken back
My every fear is realized
My sun has
gone to black
She is my love my very soul
One half I cannot
be
What is within my power
To help my
love to see?
That what I do is for us both
I need her
strength for us
Others have imposed their view
Created
quite a fuss
We can, we must survive this threat
If we are
to go on
Return again to our deep love
Before the
chance is gone
Use the faith we know is there
The Love
that makes us be
Remember clearly all we have
Give up not
ever, we
Hold fast to all we know with truth
How each is
breath of life
Defend this fragile being new
Go on as
man and wife
Day to day we live our lives
Rushing to
and fro
Important things are left unsaid
Never the
other to know
But life needs love as lungs need air
And words
must be begun
Or life will leave before it’s said
And sadness
will have won
Measure not by “used to be”
But what
you are today
Let the future fill your eyes
With
anticipation, play
Everyday new we are
Challenges
we must set
Make the most of what you have
In time the
most you’ll get
Is what you’ve sown in mind and heart
True
strength is in the soul
Be thankful for the love you have
And a
partner made you whole
Angie oh Angie,
Love of the past
Gave new perspective
To which I
hold fast
To take each new day
As it comes on
Live with the truth
No
apologies don
Bring to life
Joy and exuberance
Lift all those around you
With life
have a romance
Be yourself now
And forever and ever
Do what is necessary
Stay sharp
and stay clever
Know your own worth
Let no one dissuade
you
Know you are loved
By many who
view
Your caring and sharing
Your
unselfish ways
As signs of the person
Who does as
they say
Forever indebted I am your devoted
Friend of
the past, friend of today
The love that I feel is stronger than time
Or the
space that separates, us on the way
To lives that are different
Separated,
I pray
For the safety and wellbeing
Of yourself every way
Though our lives have been
Inextricably wound
Together forever
In
friendship we’ve found
That each is a mirror
We hold up
with love
Through thick and through thin
We’ve
stayed high above
The normal decay
That friendships endure
Cause trust and reliance
Remain
steady and pure
Our paths will be separate
New joys
will occur
For each of us, futures
Are born of what were
The moments in time
That
changed you and me
To what we are now, by life’s fires tempered
Enriched
we’re enabled to separately see
That we carry on forward
A piece of what was
In the person we are
And the
things that one does
Though time has made changes
In what is
to be
A piece of you always
Will live
inside me
Reminding me never to
Take myself
seriously
Or that you could love me
When I
couldn’t see
Why anyone would value
The traits
I possessed
Though you never explained
Why your
time you’d invest
You left it to me
To find ten
years passed
How much you did love me
Too late, I
knew last
What ever your reasons
The time
that we had
Was glorious to me
For each
moment I’m glad
As you asked long ago in a moment so quiet
“What will you do when I leave” you intoned
I’ll cherish the memories of love and abandon
The loss I
promised I wouldn’t bemoan
But fate has upon us invoked a reversal
A twist in
the path we didn’t foresee
The one to be leaving by choice as it is
Surprised I
am finding it is to be me
I hope on your life I’ve had an impact
As deep and as positive as you’ve had on mine
I couldn’t have made it to here as I was
Your love
and support metamorphed me with time
So on to what’s next for you and for me
A lifetime
ahead to build and design
It’s just the beginning of wondrous adventures
For each of
us future, is part past entwined
Each of us is the sum of what was
A mixture
that time and experience wrought
Never forget me as I will not you
Your part
of me always, and the lessons you taught
The wedding day has come and gone
Festivities
are done
The justice said the words she must
Legally now
we’re one
We’re off to have a Honeymoon
Far away Tuscany
calls
Places we have never been
Build
history, breakdown walls
Create a story of our lives
Unique for
us two
Life as seen through both our eyes
Enhanced by
dual view
There is no anxiety for
Us as we
join hands
Just expectation love will stay
As past, in
all new lands
Love allows the two of us
To flow as
if we’re one
Where ever in the world we go
We’re each
the other’s sun
Into my life
One strange October
eve
An incognito Angel
Did my eyes come to perceive
Of course I didn’t know it then
An angel
was her mien
Or that a figurative freight train
Would
disorient my brain
In a small and simple restaurant
On the edge
of river Thames
I went to have my dinner
And my
loves beginning flames
There alone as I sat
At a table
meant for four
The owner brought two women
Who
couldn’t wait a minute more
To have a meal, so I they chose
To share a
place to eat
I couldn’t know that early on
She’d make
my life so sweet
Once introduced she bought me wine
Exchanged amenities
Talked about all kinds of things
Ate dinner,
I was pleased
Art and sculpture, philosophy
The
subjects kept on running
I’d never talked as much as then
No guile no
line no cunning
We talked to the exclusion of
The friend,
silent but present
Attention riveted on each other
Overcome,
sensation pleasant
From simple start I’ve come to know
An envied
freedom rare
To be myself entirely
No anxiety
left to bear
To filter not the things I say
Just let
the words come out
She understands intention
There is
never any doubt
We seem to be one soul at times
Attuned to
single purpose
Integrated mentally
Like
aerialists at the circus
In truth we’re like each others catcher
Secure in
loves reverie
We form the base from which we let
The other
fly quite free
Like a spacewalk in the heavens
We’re
tethered one to one
We are each others safety
Not an
anchor but a sun
Like a lighthouse in the night
Show each
other the direction
Though we’re both in constant motion
There is still
confirmed connection
Born of friendship strong and trusting
Our love
grew to be immense
The truth is our foundation
Heartfelt
empathy our sense
As each new day dawns on us
Perspective
new we see
To each the other seems to be
The
future’s valued key
What started as a gentle flame
Kindled
softly by a kiss
Has grown to be much larger force
Desire’s
heat is this
We bask in warmth created
By our loves expanding fire
We feel the new excitement as
Together we
go higher
Then ever we have gone before
To each we
are a gift
We’ve entered some new place in life
A paradigm
shift
We never can, see again
Life’s view before we met
We can’t go back the way we came
New
perspective now won’t let
Intertwined but independent
We are two but
we are one
Endless conversations
Myriad ways
of having fun
I am the happiest I’ve ever been
In many,
many years
Life can be extraordinary
Once purged
of certain fears
Sides of me I’ve never known
Emerge to
my surprise
Inside my soul another lives
Whose
freedom my love buys
Our spirits play
incessantly
Find ways
anew to flirt
Expand the ways we think of things
Never the
other hurt
Fastened soul to soul till
Eternity does end
Twisting every time frame
Relativity
upend
Science can’t explain
All the things we seem to do
There is a certain energy
That flows
between us two
There also is a synergy
Obtained
from She and I
That’s more than each alone can be
Together we
can fly
To places far beyond today
On loves
strong wings I say
The possibilities limited
By only
plans that dreams can lay
I am betrothed to my beloved
But we are
separated by time and space
Our minds do meet in ether somewhere
Each day
and night, keep up the pace
Of constant contact by our voices
Creating
pictures, memories too
So time does not , serve to divide us
But make
more precious, now the view
That in our minds lives animated
Not from
the past but present real
As if we see across the miles
Create a
movie from the voices feel
From new description and knowledge old
Of times
together spent with feeling
We are together in a way
Or not
apart, our way of dealing
With the space that is between us
For surely
we do miss
The closeness and the touching
The
warmness of our lover’s kiss
Our love is strong, will always be
More than
just our minds relation
We must be together fully
Exchange
the energy, our own creation
We’ve given life to what we feel
Made
vulnerable each, our heart and soul
Trusting each we’ve found in other
Protector, lover,
friend, own role
So meet we do around the globe
When chance
allows some time
Together we pick up the thread
Of love
unbroken, maintained fine
Which seems to go on unaffected
By the
spaces we endure
It is as if we’ve never parted
As we
continue our lovers tour
And think about the time to come
When space
will no longer between us be
When every day we will renew
From each
the other, loves harmony
Life’s journey sweeter surely is
Since we
together came to be
Combined our souls invincible are
This
special love makes us both free
O joy of joys my love is coming
I will be complete tonight
It will take but just a second
Catch up
after each we sight
The time between will melt away
As if it
never was
I can’t explain, nor can she
All we know
is that it does
The first we touch is like an addict
Looking for
a fix
Urgency drives us forward
The need to
savor slows times ticks
There is a kind of tension
An
excitement in the air
We come alive, reborn you see
Again we
are a pair
The strength of us together
Builds up
by leaps and bounds
In each the other finds a route
Their own
strength to compound
Very quickly we are one again
Secure in
our safe harbor
Enwrapped entwined enmeshed we are
Our hearts
now free to soar
The flame of passion burns quite bright
Lifts us to
a higher place
Then simmers on continuously
Just under
surface, keeping (it keeps) pace
Like magnets slightly out of reach
The pull is
faint but real
If perchance the space does narrow
Tremendous
force we feel
On and on to end of time
We’ll
balance our two forces
The love we feel will keep us dancing
As through
our veins it courses
Close or far we are together
Managing
space and time
To Enhance our lives in every way
Our
purposes to align
We don’t complain of what we’re not
Or feelings
we can’t salve
But live a life we’ve made sublime
By giving
what we have
The precious gifts we give each other
Are free
for all to use
Truth, support, respect and passion
Build a
relationship, can’t lose
Dying flowers in a vase
Kept beyond
their time
Remnants of a loving message
Gave their
lives in service fine
Stronger scent as life is ebbing
Then in life they had before
Servants of a loves devotion
Sacrificed
to love, amour
Picked for beauty, carry thought
Love’s
forevermore
For highest honor they’ve been chosen
Soldiers in
a noble war
Life and death go on and on
It is a
natural thing
The flower dies so love can live
It is an
endless ring
And when loves life shall be over
And sleep
within the earth
New beauty to behold will come
As flowers,
love gives birth
What is the measure of a man
Or a woman
if you can?
What is the quality of two souls,
That makes
the parts more as a whole?
What lifts us up on gossamer wing?
What eases
for us every sting?
What gives us strength when we are weak?
What moves us on, new things to seek?
What makes us share when we could keep?
What takes
the grief when we must weep?
What makes us sing though sky is dark?
Or feel
we’re blessed to hear a lark?
What makes us reach to touch another?
Though they
are not, by blood a brother
What makes the morning joy to see?
What makes
us happy just to be?
What makes each moment gift, surprise?
What makes
us dream of next sunrise?
What makes us look ahead not back?
Certain
that the futures tack
Will be a wonder, take us where
In past our
dreams not ever dared
What makes us know we will attain?
What gives
us vision will not wane?
What makes us cling to, Oh so tightly
Things that
others take so lightly?
In “Simple” we can find the best
No matter
should we pay the rest
If we are comfortable in our skin
Consider
all our next of kin
Live without an ego great
Make our
passion another’s fate
Go beyond our personal need
Fill
another’s plate to feed
Tend the heart and the soul
Of another
as our goal
Then we’ll find the measure sought
Of human
value, never bought
It is the deep capacity of
Giving and
receiving love.
It is for sure that one of us
Will go
before the other
How then are we to handle this?
We’re
friend and we are lover
If it is me that must take leave
Don’t fret
or grieve my fate
For I will have our history
In peace
relive, collate
Every single minute was
A gem, a
gift of beauty
Ten thousand years to contemplate
Couldn’t
fail in me my duty
To hold on fast to what I have
Life or
death my future coming
We built a bond will last no doubt
Tenaciously
we’ll cling
To each the other far or near
In life or
in hereafter
If I am first I’ll wait for you
Your life
I’ll fill with laughter
But if I should be, left behind
And you to
heaven go
I’ll live each day with memories
Of joys you
made me know
I never give a single thought
If I can
pass the test
I am forever imbued with love
You put
within my breast
As we have learned it’s not the time
Or space
for us that matters
What e’er transpires we are together
Life’s
boundaries we will shatter
If you and I are one
And this is
how are we
Then loving you it seems, means
That I am loving me
This is not a silly thought
Or
conundrum speculate
In devotion to your love I find
Myself to contemplate
In transcending my own being
To be lost
inside of you
I come full circle home again
Myself I am
to view
And I have come this point in life
To know of
what I’m made
I rather like the skin I wear
My essence
I won’t trade
In things important to me now
I define
myself as good
My world expands at lighting speed
Brings my
mind sufficient food
Every moment is adventure though
Some are dark and scare
It tells me I’m alive and well
I’m blessed
with gifts so rare
That came to me unasked for
From a freedom
born of love
I am much more I was before
Old
restraints I rise above
Unlimited are the goals that I
May choose or may decline
Inside a voice unerring speaks
With wisdom newly mine
A confidence enabled by
Vanquishing
alone
Accomplished by combining two
Souls their lives outgrown
That met quiet accidentally
Or was it
really so?
Perhaps it was some grander scheme
For reasons
we can’t know
But in that meeting universes
Collided
smashing all
That went before, beyond repair
Creation new
to call
Like a world that’s born in heaven
We
coagulated firm
Two bodies burning brightly
Eternity
our term
A balanced living universe
Whirling on
its way
Two stars in opposition
To live,
this way must stay
Separate individuals we
Appear as one soul bright
Together we have all we need
Together it
feels right
The newlyweds crossed the sea
To see what
they could see
Found themselves at home again
Happy just
to be
Instead of learning to be one
Which already
had come true
They came to have a life before
The one
they started new
A thousand years had come and gone
Before they
did return
A dozen lifetimes flickered past
For each
they felt concern
They came to have a history
Longer then
their years
Throughout all time their lot will be
If one
should call, the other hears.
A touch upon my shoulder or
Your hand
within my hand
Your hip against my hip, gentle
Pressure as
we stand
A foot draped over mine sleeping
Soundly in
the bed
The peaceful lay of curls falling
All around
your head
The myriad ways we touch as
Our daily
lives we lead
The nourishment of love with which
Our souls
we gladly feed
I’m overcome with joy as
You fill my
every need
Eager for the next while
Enjoying last
received
We have melded into one new
Container
filled with life
Two spirits live and flourish newly
Made man and wife
We touch when we are talking using
Eyes or
mouth or ear
We open up ourselves, give
Completely
without fear
Our lives are made a dance, choreo-
graphed by intuition
There are no rules except our own
Not bound
by mere tradition
Contact as shallow as the skin
Or deep the
soul, we strive
To use whatever means we have
To keep the
touch alive
We are connected strong by
Our need
and our desire
Each supplies the fuel for
The others glorious fire
We’re reaching, stretching, looking, seeing
Touching,
feeling, knowing
Learning, having, giving, finding
Loving and
bestowing
Listening, telling, holding, being
Endless
messages we send
Like a diamond in the sunlight, our love
Is brilliant without end
Every day a month or more
Together
faced each day in store
Woke each morning, slept each night
Securely
with our loves delight
You went North and I went West
Each to
heed our work’s behest
This is how we must live
More the
best, each to give
Build a future working now
Come
together, we’ll plan how
What was easily done before
Brings much
pain when we adore
Oh the emptiness I feel within
Missed
aroma of your skin
We are separated for a while
Only
contact phone and dial
I reach for you in the night
You’re not
found in my sight
My body aches to feel your touch
At least
two weeks ‘till I have such
A piece of me is missing now
I function
but, not right somehow
Once a part of me you are
Forever
part, though miles are far
Is he mine or is he his?
Can the two
by side exist?
He gives no reason him to doubt
Why this
worry long persist?
Is it rule or exception lives
Within the
heart this man I kiss?
Am I fool to trust again?
Seek for me
loves lifting bliss
Can I fly on wings imagined?
Built of
his support, rapport
Or is it love that I’ve imagined?
Am I to
crash back to the floor?
The answers are not to be read
In any book
that I can see
But in my heart I fly so high
None but
love could make it be
If there is one chance in ten million
This is
real, my destiny
I should not pass the chance to know
Unbridles
joy, dreamt fantasy
I cannot make the dream come real
Without
belief, without the feel
That love is mine for all of time
Inside
myself the worry heal
The past must be another life
Whose rules
today do not apply
Forge I must a new foundation
On loves
light I will rely
Over the precipice of might
The balance
of my life awaits
In trust my love has gone before
My turn to
join him, accept loves fate
You hold my essence in your hands
Feel my
passion grow
I kiss your softness everywhere
Enjoy the
loving slow
I feel your breathing through my palm
Or breast
pressed tight on mine
Every movement that you make
Yields new
thrills divine
You stroke my shoulder bite my hair
Find new
ways to tease
Every byway we explore
Brings new
way to please
Sometimes the warmth crosses over
As if we’re
just one flesh
Sometimes I feel as if we’re one
Every part
of us does mesh
I cannot always tell the place
I end and
you begin
I often feel the hurried beat
Of your
heart through my skin
We use what ever is at hand
To love
each other fair
A forearm or a cheek, even
Softly
flowing hair
The back my little finger on
The outline
of your ear
My thigh pressed lightly ‘tween yours
Anticipation
of what’s near
The normal stretched to last much longer
Slow to
agonize
An arm becomes a hand’s extension
Long
caresses realized
You rub my back so lovingly
Using hands
that care
Changing to a silk caress
With your
softness bare
I hold you still within my hands
Your
softness firms, demands
Rising hard and caught between
A feeling
that is grand
Movement is just barely felt
Hand and
heart concur
Merge the line twixt in and out
Which is
which does blur
And sometimes when your lightly touched
For more
than just a while
Sensation greatly heightened comes
Needs
pressure to beguile
Endlessly we toy and play
Discover
feelings new
Up and down the mountains of
Emotion
pure and true
Occasionally we reach the top
Result not
of some plan
A simple case of feelings found
And
emotions that outran
Sometimes when we are at the top
Merged in
flesh and spirit
Each is master of two bodies
Of which we
are considerate
Best of all I love the sounds
You make
when passion flares
Cries and shouts of ecstasy
In joy you
do declare
Arching back, fingers on
The edge of
skythrust breast
Constant movement writhe and stretch
But never
come to rest
Until that final moment when
Passion has
control
The torrent is too much to bear
Love you do
extol
In a quiet kind of agony
You fold up
like a flower
Feel the warmth wash over you
Surrender
to the power
And I am at the center of
Unbridled
passion given
My every pore cries out to me
For this we
both have striven
On and on we roll and turn
Examine
each new gift
Each minute flows into the next
Time escapes
in torrent swift
Until we lie exhausted on
The plain
of lovers’ bliss
Giving and receiving words
Of love,
sealed with a kiss
I see a curve, a pleasant smile
A face with
soul ingrained
A conversation draws me in
For a moment
I’m sustained
But then for sure some other thing
Will occupy
my mind
Her sensuality comes across
In my
thoughts my love I find
There is no other holds my heart
For long,
as I will tell
My love in truth is part of me
With pride
it makes me swell
She is the engine gets me here
Or there as
I may choose
No accomplishment is mine alone
So pride I
won’t effuse
And if I seem to be attractive
To ladies
of all kind
It is because I’m part of something
I believe
in, they do find
The very thing that makes them want
Is that
which I can’t give
Self assurance, honesty
From love I
breathe and live
My self does not alone exist
My essence
can’t transfer
A product of the two of us
One half I
can’t confer
Were I to give myself to play
With each
new curve so sweet
I’d be a different person then
Their goal
I would defeat
I’m half a mirror half my own
Combined in
special way
Replace the one reflected, then
What be I?
Who can say
I’ll stay the person I am now
The best I’ve
ever been
My love provides the curves I need
No trophies
need I win
In the shallows of my mind
Where mist
hangs low and thick
Memories of other loves
Are
disappearing quick
History and thoughts remain
But fade to
black and white
Eclipsed by passion, love and joy
My present
love’s delight
It seems we know each other since
A time
before we met
The beauty of our love fills us
New reality
is set
All else pales in new loves light
Bliss does
us surround
Friendship is the root on which
We build
this time around
Never will there be a time
This love
will fade and crack
Strong foundation tested true
No mortar
does it lack
Every day we build anew
A broader
base on which
To rest our growing house of love
Withstand storms
life does pitch
Learn about each other, broaden
Vastly our
own scope
Be more of who we are at core
Give reason
we should hope
Bring to love all we are
And all we
dream to be
Help each other build the road
To dreams
we each must see
Weave our essence into cloth
We wear to
armor us
Protect us from the million things
Defeat most
lovers trust
Look at life and at each other
From
constant changing view
Endless facets to discover
Fall in
love anew
Morning breaking sun is shining
Glorious
day for most
My love and I are separated
One East
and one West coast
I miss the feeling of her presence
The light
good morning kiss
It is our lot our lives be tested
For a time
we’ll live like this
We’re married only for a month
Made love
on foreign soil
Opened every day with passion
At work we
did not toil
Some would say the Honeymoon’s over
But we
would rather not
It simply takes another form
Our love
remains quite hot
It’s only space that interferes
All else is
normal, fine
It heightens all our other senses
Like the
breathing of a wine
Accommodate we always do
Mold our
love to life
We find a way to benefit
Wont let a
change cause strife
We weather every storm that blows
Across us
as we sail
Secure that in the love we’ve built
Our oneness
will prevail
Talk it up, let it out
Laugh and cry, scream and shout
Beg and plead, make your case
Take it slow, it’s not a race
Do what works, give respect
Don’t give up if can’t accept
Show your strength, belief in love
The referee is high above
All is fair in love and war
Except a lie, which yields the door
Give not up your only self
To be left, on a shelf
Be a part, it has to be
Love requires both be free
Sacrifice not one iota
Both must give their total quota
Happiness is not a gift
Result of work, both to lift
Roles submerged to common cause
Not a day afford to pause
Every day a newfound joy
Used to build, your love employ
Don’t let go until it’s right
Keep the goal clear in sight
Winning’s not the final place
But grace within a loved one’s face
Each is keeper of the other
As if they were both father, mother
Love means both responsible for
Whatever life has in store
Surrender not to fear unknown
Harvest love your seeds have sown
Like the soil in your garden
Fertile ground will surely harden
If not cared for tenderly…
Love won’t grow there, strong for thee
