In Solitude – Short Story Slam Week 19
It is in solitude
I come here to pray
“Lord, give me the fortitude
to hold on another day!”
From Him I beg for
the strength to carry on
When the one I did adore
from my life is gone
Everything to him I gave
but he ‘s left me behind
And now only God can save
what is left of my mind
When it’s our love we give
and they throw it away
Often lost is will to live
steeped in the pain of they
“So, dear Lord, give it back
that I might clearly see
‘Twas not because of my lack
that they have now left me
Give me one who loves me more
with passion’s fire like the sun
On the road ahead before
my life is said and done!”

For all of my suffering friends,
you know who you are,
and I love you each and every one!

Touch Enough
I remember the days
we couldn’t touch enough
Being away from you
was always so rough
And every little moment
together we would spend
Those are the days
thought would never end
But seems that life
gets in the way
As we go on
living it each day
Still need to touch
much as we can
Even though it’s not
what we did plan
And yet our love
does continues to grow
With the sedated passion
old married folk know!

A Rose I Hold
A red rose I hold
in my hand for you
It represents all the love
that I give to you
It’s red as my heart
that’s yours with every beat
The color of my face
the day we first did meet
And it’s of a shade
that is lush and deep
Just as my love for you
is ever your’s to keep
So please will you accept
this rose that you see
As I pledge my heart
to you for eternity!

I love you Mark
Passion
My passion stirred
with words heard
Igniting the fire
deep longing desire
Yours am I
with breathless sigh
As a dream
does this seem
What I feel
can’t be real
This love exists
my heart insists
So you may do
what you want to
Take of me
for eternity!

Lingers
Your kiss so sweet
on my lips lingers
The gentle caress
of your fingers
Words of love
whispered in my ear
Many years later
can I still hear
Your sweet embraces
full of strength
Your body enfolds me
within its length
In your eyes
the passion I see
Your kiss deep
making love to me
Say you’re mine
forever to keep
I thank God
before drifting to sleep!

Left Standing Alone
You left me standing alone
The church was full today
The ringing of my cell phone
I wanted to run away
I’m sorry’s all you said
With so many staring faces
Wished you were dead
A tear my cheek traces
Was none of it meant?
The passion was it fake?
When we lay together spent
Was all a big mistake?
Hate you for doing this
Should have told me before
And given me a kiss
Before you hit the door.

Poetry Potluck Week 48:
Passionate Nights of Love
Like this:
My Ship
I have waited and waited
down here by the sea
for your ship to come in
darling, where can you be?
As my tears fall softly
they mix with the rain
did your ship wreck
and are you in pain?
Thoughts of our passionate
nights of love-making
run through my head
yet my heart is breaking
I look to the horizon
but my effort’s in vain
though your ship’s not there
with all hope I remain
My darling, my husband
where can you be?
Forever will I wait
for you by the sea.

My Love, I’ll Never Forget
Poetry Potluck Week 48 Theme:
Passionate Nights of Love
My love, I will never forget
the first time our lips met
When love we fell into
and hot our desire grew
In passionate love we lay
together on our wedding day
Your caresses on my skin set
like the softest kind of velvet
As I shivered with every touch
until it all became too much
Through trembling lips I did sigh
that in ecstasy I could die
How closely you held me
said this is no fantasy
You are the love of my life
I’m blessed to be your wife!
