Love, from a woman's eyes, for her man "whose graceful nature and toil, kept us in abundance and comfort".
Introducing Tracey (future imagined lover) - a character from Wilbur Smith's Diamond Hunters.
For Tracey again, this one ends with - "soaring on cupids wings, the couple would reflect - years later, on that love - so pristine and perfect".
Another fun romantic poem. This one sung by a friend while the ink was still drying.
Now the memories are a tad painful... Here's to the love that never was! "spent in spirit but not wistful - for the next time I shall savour with care - every moment that two lovers can share" Did I even savour the next one?
I think of those days I was rapt - "so deep the bond we lovingly forged - feel you beside me our lips engorged".
Ah, to be young and in love again... "methinks a partner is the best thing to keep - in sickness and in health, a spirit so deep - entrenched in your soul"
Lost in time... "a love that engulfed us - through storm and rain that love animated me and was - a bulwark against the harsh world, cozy and secure".
9 things I learned by loving 9 different women :). Written with a hope to leave the past in the past and look to the future...
Wedding Vows (as to be expected - there wasnt even a girl on the horizon when I wrote this :p)
Based on a weird dream I had... For that passing ship that brought me Sleep Eros.
For a girl I used to be fond of. "Like two ships passing solemn in the night - What happened to our love that gently faded from sight".
For the Beatles Song "In My Life" and a short reflection on an early love of mine. "in love for the first time - A woman to ride beside in any sort of clime - Who looked at me to the depths of my very soul".
A well of love - "What of thou and I? where on Earth shall we begin? - To continue some connect, discover love amidst the din".
Too much romance for one night. But the flow is coming better. Wait till you reach 2020 :)
Too bad it was all imaginary. "And in that winter, beside a warm ember - That hearth of ours where we make love - Meld our bodies till all our worries dissolve".
"Heart to heart, body to body. A torch - To bear testament to the love we share - In all the seasons with us without a care".
Romance, too much time on my hands late at night. "still they wanted to be - Finding a bliss like grace from our maker above".
Fiction, for a couple in love. "A surety that his love would stay on target, unerring as a dart - As close as two friends could get, there from the very start".
Woman of yester dreams. "And how that love runs true in every fibre of our being - A being that echoes the fragrance of the cosmic scene".
So much romance, so little remains... "Caricatures of nymphs and angels you bring to my mind - Making my inmost fantasy of you in every shape and kind".
Think again Imran! "Methinks we're destined to be utterly entwined - A love that engulfs us both, holding us enshrined".
Inspired by the Kenny Roger's song We've got tonight. "Lend your love to me tonight for love we want to share - Make every minute count as into your eyes I stare".
Short Romantic Poem. "... That makes my heart flutter ever so soft as at dawn - When a million buttercups open and birds begin their song".
Another Romantic Poem that caught me by surprise. "A fount of blessings from which to divine - My way forward, oh you like summer wine"
Poem to a loved one. "feel sweet and smooth - And complete as we set out to hew a way - Be sure to learn fast as music we do play".
What wonder its been to have your love shine on me.
So much romance, so little remains... "Caricatures of nymphs and angels you bring to my mind - Making my inmost fantasy of you in every shape and kind".
Thank you for a lifetime,come and lets have fun.
I feel tender loving care for every last of earth creatureslet us all join togetherand be the world's teachers.
The poet and his loved one together discover their inner selvesand set an example to others what to treasure in humanity.
Going down memory lane I recall my happy moments with my loved one,and knowing now that she will not come back,move on and not despair.
One of the last romantic poems I would write for a girl that filled my weaking moments for a long while, thought we were never together as the poem suggests
Fictionalized Romance where it takes a couple a whole year of bonding before igniting the sexual spark.
Kinda cryptic love note, this one inspired by "Will and Lyra" in Philip Pullman's Dark Materials
A poem that begs us to brood not in the past (when we were in love). "I know its not easy but on letting go, we're choosing life - And not dwelling unnecessarily on highs from our past - Letting go is healing, the past cut away as by a knife - Instead we focus on the now and build a future to last"
When losing a parent, we hit a new low and our feelings get all jammed up. How will this raw grief bring about a catharsis for us?
A tribute to the nearly 30 girls and women in my life, weaving them into a single tapestry, seemingly addressing a single / a few people.
Begun with lines by John Denver, this poem sees me going back to earlier notions of having a "Tracey" in my life - a name from the Wilbur Smith novel Diamond Hunters
"All my life I wanted to find a girl like Stormy, who like me would want,.. To delight the world's children, and with our combined voices, enchant."
At the crossroads of romantic dead ends, this poem sees me letting go of the past and making way for what would become "dreamy"
The first of 15 poems for a new muse, this one has me saying "I'd reckon the years by the stars you'd pull down, and my words, that whisper love in the light of dawn."
As you touch my hand and let our love light up - The skies as sparks fly from our skin, a deep cup
It's only in your heart that I would dwell for a while. Where I bask in the radiance of your beautiful smile.
For its your face I would remember all my life. Let me now ask that we live as man and wife.
I know you both have left much pain behind. But know that in love, much healing you'd find.
Dance you two, weave the story of the world between the tapestry of your own world. With senses keen.
My love, I'd be thrilled if only you would think to have me, for life is fleeting, gone in a blink!
The hills beckon me where I would walk in woods. Holding you beside me, each couple with their broods.
Melt me down to my elements, then cast me anew. For I would be pliant for you. My pledge I'd renew, To hold and cherish you until the end of my days. To swirl in your waters, live enthralled by your gaze.
Hope your senses reel at the thought of me. And all the ways I'd touch you deep and wild. How I'd bask in your love, shout in pure glee, As we found ways to unmask the inner child.
Tell me you'd be here this instant and I will stop all my meandering, rather live with you in glee.
It gladdens my heart to know that you exist. That the ether connects our minds and hearts. Tell me lover, should I walk through the mist? Would I find you ready to assemble all my parts?
Oh darling my light is glowing dim, but I wait. I strove hard to find you, first in my dreams, Now come quick to me before it's too late. Do you hear my whimpers amidst their screams?
On a patch of grass on the same side of a slope. So that we may grow in the melody of one another. Good water! That harbinger of plenty, and hope, Let me find you so we'd have each other for tether.
I grew up dreaming that lovers ought be entwined. And enmeshed, totally inside each other's heart. Have I found that sort of love? Believe it I'm inclined. For this time I've loved you mad, right from the start.
"At new beginnings, I'd dream on, hopeful with each passing day. And glad for those friendships that are cemented for a lifetime."
About a long forgotten intimacy, the giving into dammed up feeling and the rekindling of an old spark.
As I reflect on my loneliness and comfort myself that a better time will come when I have a body to love.
