Poem: Beneath the Weeping Willow

Beneath the weeping willow
I think of days gone by
Of days with you beside me
Watching the birds as they fly
And sing the sweetest melodies
Of love so true and pure
That only grows as days go by
And is my saving cure

For a broken heart that’s lonely
And yearning for embrace
For light and warmth and happiness
That nothing can erase
I’ll be forever grateful
That you have come my way
For you complete a part of me
That I had lost one day

And now that I have found it
I hope it’s here to stay
Just like the love I have for you
Though you have gone away
And all the hope I thought was gone
Has now returned once more
And I no longer feel as if 

I’m drowning by the shore

Song Lyric: I Need Love Here Tonight

Wish it was me
Wish it was you
But there is nothing
That I can do
Can't bring you back
Can't make you stay
So here I am
Well on my way

I'm on my way to find the reason
Why you have left me here this season
So I can make things right again
Be ready for my love's new plan
Oh how I need love here tonight
A love to finally set things right

I hope I find
Love at my door
So I can let
My happiness soar
Right now it's sour
I want it sweet
So that every hour
Makes me complete

I'm on my way to find the reason
Why you have left me here this season
So I can make things right again
Be ready for my love's new plan
Oh how I need love here tonight
A love to finally set things right

Poem: My Love Is Not for Sale

My love is not for sale

My love has to be

Earned

Deserved

Treasured

Nurtured

Appreciated

Reciprocated in spades

No crisp one hundred dollar bills

Gemstones or diamonds

Gold or silver

Or other material things

Can ever buy my love

Poem: We Become One

Our bodies fit perfectly into each other

Making melodies beneath the starry skies

As our flaming hearts beat as one

In tune with the rhythm of the endless sea

Our burning passion shoots us up into space

In the direction of undiscovered galaxies

Where the hands of the clock are at a standstill

And piece by piece you and I finally become one

Poem: Two Lovers

Two lovers meet in their secret garden

And among lush bouquets

Surrounded by the beauty of nature

Soul to soul, heart to heart

They make unforgettable memories

That forever remain within them

Even after their date comes to an end

Poem: Your Heart of Gold

Your heart of gold overflows with love

Surrounds me with inner peace

With the safety of your warm embrace

The promise of a brighter tomorrow

I don’t know what the future holds

But I know that your heart of gold

Will keep me going in this uncertain world

Poem: An Unforgettable Experience

I met a stranger at a wedding
And felt an instant connection
Which grew stronger
As we danced the night away
Our bodies moving without limits
Our unspoken words filled with a fiery passion
As the magical night drew to a close
No promises of a future connection were made
Yet there were no regrets on the horizon
For that night was an unforgettable experience
And one of those memories that I’ll always treasure

Poem: Two Lovers

Under the night of a million stars

Beneath the silver moon

That casts its shadow on the water

Our lips melt into each other

The sweetest of kisses never-ending

Our bodies swaying to the rhythm of the waves

As the breeze tickles us with its caress

Our leisurely stroll along the boardwalk

Is now a cherished moment in time

As we become two lovers

United by a soulful passion

Yearning for release

Poem: Heartbeat

Heart beats fast
Like a drum
As thoughts of you
Peek in my mind

My heart dances
My heart sings
My heart flutters
Like the wind

My heart soars
My heart explodes
My heart melts
And turns to gold

My heart beats
For you so true
My heart's always
Linked to you

Forever and always
My heartbeat will race
Whenever I picture
Your mysterious face

And whenever I'll swim
In your words so heartfelt
I will drown in bliss
And my heart's gonna melt

And the smile on my face
Will no longer be fake
For the joy that you bring
Makes all grief fade away

Poem: Passionate Words

Your passionate words imprint on my heart
And touch me so deeply right from the start
They sprinkle their magic while melting my soul
With romance and love that forever does grow
They quicken my heartbeat and I drown in bliss
I feel like a princess swept away by her prince
So thanks for the honor of being your muse
Now I feel extra special that me you did choose
We'll forever be linked by sweet words of your art
Written there in the stars in my dreams in my heart
