... utterings of the heart...

[LadyLionness]

long ago

long ago, I loved you
with a love that was endless
I longed for your words
I ache for your touch

long ago, I desired you
with a passion that could not be quenched
each kiss, each touch
drove me to the brink of ecstasy

now, my love is nearly empty
there's no more than a spoonful left
your words breaks my heart
your touch hurts my soul

now,  I wish to be left alone
for there is no passion left
all the embers have died down to ashes
to be blown away by the wind

[LadyLionness]

Slowly

Slowly, with one word at a time
You healed my heart
And soothed my soul
Like a butterfly
Emerging from a cocoon
My love is fluttering
Testing out its wings
Soon it will take flight
In celebration of the love
That we are cultivating
So that it will soon be in full bloom

Slowly, with one silent still moment
You stood behind me
Not touching and not moving
I can sense the heat in your heart
The electricity that passed between us
Re-awakening a memory of yonder days
Of a desire deep within my soul
Opening and yearning for your touch
To be one with you as only we can do

[LadyLionness]

my heart rejoice

my heart rejoice on this day
that God has given
with heart and mind pure
I will approach this day to honor my Lord
and not come into PH until the end of the day

Anniversary Poem I sent to my husband...

Love Comes Softly

After all these years
Through all the ups and downs
During the rain and the thunderstorms
Just when I thought that I had run out of tears
Love comes softly

My heart all dried up
Slowly disintegrating into dust
Although the tears flow
Before reaching the eyes, they are stuck
Love comes softly

Like a thief in the night
Riding on the wings of the north wind
Soft as a baby's whimpering
It has come to claim its right
Love comes softly

Gentle as an angel hands
Love reach out to me
Collecting my heart piece by piece
With a power that only God can command
Love comes softly
