cute love,
I came across my first love
You were always in my arms
Swore we’d never be apart
But I let you go
Now we are reunited
My heart just beats like a drum
I can’t take my eyes off you ...
My first teddy bear

death, farewell, love, relationship,
There was an old couple whose love was strong,
their life together was happy and long.
But one day the wife sadly passed away
and the old man was left alone to stay.
One life carrying a torch for the two,
until a lifetime on this earth was through.
Joined once again in a heaven to share,
he longed for the day to see her there.
A single flame burning deep in the night,
held in a little room hidden from sight.
Nearly touching and yet so far apart,
kept barely alive in one lonely heart.
One faithful morning the old man was gone,
now reunited and never alone.

death, loss, lost love, love
She's always there, watching
Over the quiet graves
Torn between life and death
Waiting 'till her time ends
When at last, she can be
Reunited with him
Without his strong arms
She falters and fails
Ne'er to love again
Her gentle heart is
Smashed beyond repair
She is the one
They call Raven
Soulless, helpless
Without his love
She stands and
Forever
Looks over
Where they
Buried
Him

love, memory,
There is peace in my heart
as I gaze into the fire embers
room full of shadows that sway
as the final flame flickers.
It is now in the quiet of night
as the rest of the world sleeps
that you come to me; again, we love
sharing times past we lay together.
In shadow time the veils fall away.
Once more our world's touch.
Again we are together in spirit,
now living in the shadow of love.
Yet always the shadows beckon,
enticing me, exciting me, pulling
ever deeper into their depths
and as I slumber we are reunited.

anniversary, love,
In the dead of night, the crickets holding their breath
Our love brooding the full moon's tide on our anniversary
The wind stirs our risen ashes and revived passion
That had remained dormant down eternity's timeline
Tonight, we're reunited once more as we'll be forevermore
Our ghosts dance in the shadows of our old, forgotten steps
Down this moonlit, memory paved path to our short lives
Past the traces of chalk where we laid holding hands side by side

Categories:
love,
She knew her life was through,
But wasn’t scared to die;
She closed her pain filmed eyes,
Her final breath a sigh.
Her husband took her hand,
And whispered, ‘ Welcome, dear.
It’s been so very long -
We won’t be parted here.’

Praying

Mourning
Grieving
With all of the praying, pleading done,
John died; I was mourning. Grieving won!

anger, courage, death, freedom, french, grief, light, love, paris, peace,
Humanity grieves with Paris, comforting her with sympathetic eyes;
the brutal attacks of November have reunited the City of Lights:
pictures, flowers and candles can attest!
Let the strongest ones seek revenge, and capture the fleeing coward;
always pray for freedom, pray for world peace and feel so empowered:
sing your Anthem, put your anger to rest!

bereavement, death, family, loss, love, relationship, together,
Loved ones reunited after almost 37 years to the day,
So much time to make up for, so many things to say.
Tell him about your children, grandchildren and the great,
Tell him how you missed him but how it was worth the wait.
You made so many memories and now it's time to share,
Us with those in this world, you with those up there.
These memories will keep us close when world's keep us apart,
Remember with a smile what's forever in our hearts.
Finally together, husband and wife,
Making up for every moment, missed here, in this life.

I lay my tender heart at your feet
and my soul and very being I surrender
My desire and quest
to fill your heart with joy
and summer
by the sweetest of emotion and affection.
To stand by you
to provide and protect you
a bond so strong nothing can tare it apart
until death do us part
and later
we meet once more
in a much better place
once again
reunited.

i love you, , sweet love,
He'd let her slip through his grasp
How many silver moons had flew past
Yet their Love did still last.
Emotions flood the page
Damns that held felt the shock
Loves effect on hearts of rock.
Seeds of Love to natures plow
Time-crossed lovers take your bow
Heavens doors shall open now.
So much Love to fill a page
Across the world hearts did race
The sweet Love we shall make.
To hold you close like in my heart
To be with you life can start
even if we may depart.

death, heartbroken,
RTears of joy roll down my face
Your words they touch my heart
love is with us we’ve won the race.
Our lives are just beginning.
Together we will live on
Bonded like the notes of a great song
Our song lives on forever
A joy for everyone
Our light forever shinning
A bond so very strong
Now you had to leave me
To heaven you have gone
My heart is so saddened
but our love lives on
Your here in my heart
Your light for me to see
Until we are reunited
It will be, just me.

father, freedom, light, love,
As planets collide
On the slip and slide
The slip spirals galaxies wide
As gravity slides the great divide
And in between
Stars prance and preen
Red-shift slips
On light arms’ grips
And out of the void so great
The Creator sits and patiently waits
For His children to come on home
As their eternal light will shine
In the eternal of the Great Divine
As a Father loves his children
The love lights the Way
As gravity loses its grip
And lips says its last say
Reunited, light to light
At the end of the road,
And the end of the fight

death, depression, devotion, hope, loss, lost love, love,
Upon the red glaze
And fires of haze
Through the hatred of light
Burned internal fight
Injustice and chaos
Bleed from the loss
Rotten and consumed
The poor soul was doomed
Pierced was the heart
Now poisoned the part
Hammering and pounding
Did the darkness sting
Through the mortal being
Without another seeing
Cast deep within shadows
Life thread come to a close
Down upon his knees
Without a beg or please
Long awaited Death's sweet whisper
Soon to be forever with her

You May Be Gone But You Live On.
With ever breath i take And every tear i shed.
Everytime i think of you and all the Great times we shared.
I try to be strong For this i know it's what you would want me to do.
I have to hold my head high and do my best ,
So one day we can be reunited in eternal life.
You May Be Gone But You Live On.
Through me
Through my Thoughts and my Memories and the Love we shared
Your in my heart and thats where you will stay

A Time for Two
A time at last for you and me
For us to share now we are two once more
To be with each other as we should be
A time to enjoy our life to the full
And the dreams we’ve been denied
To go where the will and the winds pull
So shall we endure all the storms that come
To pass us on the great highway of life
While we are reunited in our love and in fun
To enjoy our life united in our aged time
Living to the full and weathering our little ills
Till the sands of time run out for us in time

devotion, love, miss you, strength,
As I'm here all by myself, memories past through my mind
My heart missing you so much as the tears fall from my eyes
Trying to stay positive, awaiting your return again
For the day that I'm reunited with my love, my best friend
You tell me not to worry, to stand up and be strong
I try so hard my darling but every second feels so long
Remembering all that we've had, are the simple things I miss
How your arms would feel around me and awakening to your kiss
Facing sleepless nights, the loneliness it brings
Would send my love to you if my heart could grow some wings
I will never love another, my days they are so blue
And you will always forever be, the man that I love true

love, moon,
The waning moon is like a shadow on my heart
Consumed by darkness ever since we’ve been apart
My soul is weak
My flesh it speaks
Desire flaming
Ever since we’ve been apart
So I am longing, for our tender moons return
Reunited, two hearts will burn
Without her, there is barren hunger, nothing more
An empty wasteland, with no moonlight as before
She turns away
My soul decays
What use is longing
When her moon can’t hear my song

beautiful, deep, desire, destiny, devotion, love, passion,
Reveling in the glow of tomorrow
silhouettes of all the yesterdays
my today in just 24 hours
unbeknownst shall be revealed
the heart of the gallant
the eye of the enchanted
reunited by fate once again
will the knight in his shiny armor reign
will the desires deep within be unchanged
a perfect sunny stay down by the bay
two hearts reminiscing as once their way
a long ago passion soon to reveal
as time passed by,
did the love stand still
one day to reveal
what 40 years couldn't heal
one day to reveal
a bond unmeant to steal
one day to reveal
those stolen words concealed
one day to reveal
what the heart still feels.

sad love,
They say all wounds will heal with time
In truth they do not know
When Love is lost forever more
The wounds just grow and grow
each cliche with best intentions
Designed to help us cope
as days and months and years go by
Diminish each glimmer of hope
perhaps each heart is different
Perhaps some Souls move on
perhaps in constant solitude
We dwell on that which has gone
Perhaps we prefer live in anguish
To stare in the face of regret
when embraced by the love of another
We fear that we may just forget
so if healed I will tear these wounds open
In this Chasm of sadness I'll stay
Until we are reunited
I'll think of you every day

first love, i love you, inspirational love,
While dreaming in the loft above
I am haunted by a long lost love.
The gilded leaves of Autumn sigh
just as they did when we said goodbye.
On a passing cloud there floats a dream,
it's heart shape showing what it means.
Silhouettes in moonlight you and I,
reunited at last, we both cry.
The soft song of a summer breeze
enwraps as true love sets us free.
Hold me close my darling dear,
you may disappear again I fear.
How I have longed for your embrace,
to be held again and encased
in strong arms and pounding heart.
Never again we two shall part.

death, family, father, grave, mom,
I went to the cemetery to visit Mom and Dad.
Seeing their headstone made me feel sad.
This was the first time I've been to the cemetery since Dad died because I've been unable to drive.
Seeing their headstone choked me up because it pointed out that neither of them are still alive.
I told Mom that she was the world's greatest mother and that I love her and that I will see her again.
She and I won't be parted forever, we will be reunited at some point in the future but only God knows when.
Before I left the cemetery, I told Dad that I love him too.
I will go back to see them again and that certainly is true.
(Dedicated to Charles and Agnes Johnson who died in 2013.)

Sweet Cinnamon
Sweet smiles
Sweet whispers
Falling into each other’s arms
We enter our private world
Far from pain and harm
Warm hearts
Warm touch
We tightly cling to each other
Our intimate embrace
Like armor does cover
Our love
Our passion
Unite us in ways we never imagined
Like lovers from another life
Reunited in this place and time
Hearts yearn
Hearts ache
Every moment that we’re apart
Our connection so strong
We can’t deny its power
Such comfort
Such ease
It’s like we’ve known each other
For years and years
And look forward to many more
To my Cinnamon Girl
