I love you (implied)

~ I love you (implied) ~

Moonlight dances across a gentle sea

without a sound, her lightness to bestow

for those moments you seek serenity

a constant presence, through each ebb and flow

Like gentle fingertips, whispers of air

in carefree moments, brush along your face

stronger sometimes, when you think no one’s there

pushing you forward, holding you in place

A summertime rain that sets your soul free

breathe in the freshness, forget where you’ve been

I am the moonlight, the wind you don’t see

a warm cleansing rain to soothe you again

                                                                                

Speaking in silence, elements confide

words I cannot say:  I love you (implied).

The Calling

Guided by instinct, bound by love

on the rocks of your shore I wait

and when the lights go down

that’s where I’ll be found

answering the call of Fate…

No footprints made, but still you came

my mind’s eye drew your smile

your presence felt in many ways

my mind painted your desire

Hide and seek, imagination dances

will of the heart? Contentment advances

Shadows sigh as dusk unfolds

your whispers travel on a breeze

in the darkness, I feel them pass by

your whispers never meant for me

Silence flies, no backward glances

Light of truth? Preconceived romances

No promises made, but questions linger

I’ll always be in the dark

time changes all, yet nothing changes

I’ll always be tied to you

In Shadows

You give me all you have to give

no greater friendship ever lived

not much in common we don’t share

in shadows, you are always there

 That I can always count on you

speaks volumes of a love that’s true

a love that does not hesitate

in shadows, doubt holds no weight

I know your feelings are sincere

but parameters were always clear

with mine, I lost the upper hand

in shadows, I know where I stand

I waver between black and white

seeking greys where desire is right

coveting words you’ll never say

in shadows, my dreams lead the way

I know your love does not match mine

it’s a truth that I can’t reassign

and while you’ll never change your view

in shadows, my heart waits for you.

After Forever

After forever
when they sing our song

with timeless lyrics about eternal spirits

we will nod and think

they almost got it right.

There’ll be myths that summer solstice

was about the first time our souls kissed

as both the sun and time stood still

on a day that never wanted to end.

After forever

they will see it written in the stars

our own patterns of love, drawn

faithful reminders, from dusk to dawn

each twinkle a footprint where we danced.

Then they’ll say the moon made a vow

that we’ll always know how

to find one another again

with her breath on a breeze

she’d whisper “follow me”

and guide us through eternity.

After forever

when poets look to muses

and immortalize their own great loves

they’ll remember a song

that touched on our love

and think that we had forever

but they would be wrong

‘Forever’ was our prelude

our song has just begun.

Blogophilia Week 1, Year 8:  After Forever

Bonus Points: 

(Hard, 2 pts) Include a rhyme in your blog

(Easy, 1 pt) Mention two celestial bodies

~ Manifestation of Love ~

~ Manifestation of Love ~

I used to know a hundred songs

about that place in love where pain belongs

no reconciliation was ever found

between heart and head, only strife came ‘round.

I wandered beneath a lonely moon

the music in my heart, adrift and out of tune

just the haunting strings of the mandolin

seeping through my veins to reside within.

I sought answers to questions I needn’t have asked

I didn’t know at the time, my die had been cast

gliding on moonbeams, soft whispers came through:

“You don’t find love…..love finds you.”

As such, it came unexpected

with an acceptance of Fate, unprecedented

our friendship suddenly became clear to me

to be your anything love, was meant to be.

An anything love, is just as it implies

unbiased and just, no conditions or why’s

to be what you need through life’s various stages

to remain your constant, throughout the ages.

It’s a love through action, as the words are unspoken

no need for return, sentiments can be broken

promises not uttered, for fear of breach

manifested from truth, with intent to reach.

I used to know a hundred songs

with verses tripping over rights and wrongs

it took the moon for me to see

Fate provides the lyrics, we are the melody.
