Romantic

Just a small corner in your heart I seek Wherein to rest ‘“ wherein to sleep And’  ‘neath my pillow a diary keep Of moments shared ‘“ within’  to creep May your’  heart’s rhythm bring to mind Smiles and sounds – moments kind Therein life’s treasures in repose to find So restful a place’  and peace sublime

A Prayer Honey-like flowing through artery and vein Sweetening. A river of love awakening the body; like the peel of bells Surely a call from a God that’s real That feeds a hungry spirit and soul sweet nectar of roses eglantine Strength and joy walk hand in hand And a song flows too – repeats and repeats “Surely Goodness and Love Shall follow me all the days of my life And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever*.” ‘ “*”‘  from Psalm 23

I see you without seeing touch your face in the dark and feel your grace your sweet nature upon my skin I know you well yet love is ever new. I touch your soft face Your features ‘˜neath my fingers speak of gentleness yet firmness too worthy of a trusting heart. In the dark I touch your face and love’™s confirmed as though this is the first time my heart spoke and said ‘œIt’™s you I love.’

What joy! What joy! I fill my lungs with pine-pure air Not a care ‘“ I shout and laugh into the wind A child again A bird on its wing I laugh again aloud and sing Never wish to be another me The pines drip the night’™s chill dew So alive With you With you

Whispered nothings that mean so much. In the dark the feel of your body goes deep to reach my spirit’  and my soul. Would only this return to embrace ‘“ to quicken a receptive heart – my whispered nothings be ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘  sonnets to an eager ear

When in the brown earth I do lie, Under a wet and wint’ry sky, Would that I a seed become Which in the rain, and summer sun, Shall become an evergreen tree And every leaf a memory An evergreen memory of times and tide Of smiles and tears and of some that sighed The sparkle in a mother’s eye Each memory in a leaf to lie I’ll remember the bat and ball I had The songs I sang both gay and sad A summer sky, sweet songs of love Trials won adventures done The very first time I saw the sea And the joy it was for me The thrill of it, the very first kiss The dance with her …

Bows the Lily to the rose will you join me in a dance You are so beautiful, your lips so red you must say you will. Why, good sir, I surely shall We’™ll make this day our own though it be our last’  – and the dance ours as long as memory lives And the Dragon-fly turned to the bee Will you share this dance with me? Why, of’  a certain I shall Your wings are so handsome set and glide you where you will Come then, be my Valentine this day No matter what folks may say Tomorrow is so far away!

I fell in love with you then And you were sweet and fair The stars were dancing with us then And fragrance filled the air ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘  I fell in love with you again The years have passed unseen You’ve never changed to me, I vow Though a silver strand I see anow And tides are but a dream ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘  I’ve fallen in love with you again Though now we’ve grown old I hold your hand as I did then A tingle passes as did then And time the thief will never win ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘  E’en lips have grown cold.

The sparkle in a drop more precious than a diamond – a glisten of silver If I could but read the words therein The emotion in the shine – A thousand words would not convey the sadness There I saw No word of mine would bring solace to a saddened heart So I in spirit reached out to soothe a wounded soul And in sympathy shed a tear too to enjoin and express those things no tongue can convey nor lip utter more eloquently

We may talk sometimes And we walk sometimes You may smile sometimes And for a while sometimes Though not oft – sometimes You’re so soft. Sometimes Sometimes’ such a lovely thing You’re so cross sometimes At a loss sometimes Wish me away sometimes Every day sometimes You’re so cruel sometimes And so cool. Sometimes Sometimes is so sad a thing But we’re so warm sometimes Arm in arm sometimes Kiss to kiss sometimes All such bliss sometimes You’re so mine sometimes And love’s divine. Sometimes ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘  Sometimes is my everthing
