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".

A well of love - "What of thou and I? where on Earth shall we begin? - To continue some connect, discover love amidst the din".
70. Fudge
Too much romance for one night. But the flow is coming better. Wait till you reach 2020 :)

80. Taken
Romance, too much time on my hands late at night. "still they wanted to be - Finding a bliss like grace from our maker above".

84. Woman
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".

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"

The hills beckon me where I would walk in woods. Holding you beside me, each couple with their broods.

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.

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.
446. Entwined
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.
