Steadfast

Redux

There’s comfort as I bathe in your loyalty.
I can count on your faithfulness to the script we are writing.
This love story of commitment and devotion is like none other.
I adore your dedication to our cause.
I can depend on you, my reliable partner.
You’ve been steady, for the most part.
True to me, for the most part.
A constant when the world wasn’t.
My staunch champion, solidly there for me.
I think you can be trusted.

Great love can bring out the best and the worse in us…

When I Dream by Penny Wilson & Charles Robert Lindholm

When 
I Dream 
It’s About You 
always has been just 
You  
 
No 
other person 
could ever be 
my one and only  
Love 

I Became a Person That I Didn’t Recognize by Angelique Rose

I walked through golden lit coals without falter 

.

.

I burned through the walls of poison ivy without a scratch 

.

.

Even being stoned and beaten without release 
Was not a match 

.

.

My shoulders straight back 
My chin never defeated 

.

.

I trekked through this life with my head held high
My conscience pure 
I had all I needed

.

.

But yesterday 
Your fingers slowly released mine 

.

.

What was once interlaced 
And intertwined 

.

.

Was now empty and free 
Our love
No longer clandestine

.

.

I felt my legs weak 
My hands fumbled 
My speech so lost 
I stumbled 

.

.

Without the support of your grasp
I lost the ground beneath me 
I lost the sky above me 
Everything I thought I needed 
I couldn’t see 

.

.

Across the golden lit coals 
I cried 
Crawled 
Despised 

.

.

I became a person 
That I did not recognize

It’s not the thing that is romantic or just filled with sexual tension; it’s when our bodies, minds, and instincts agree—there’s something substantive and wonderful there. It’s worth pursuing and preserving.

Struck by Ramblings of a Fragile Mind

All
my
life

I’ve
waited
for this

The
feeling
of certainty

That
thunderbolt
kiss

Suspended by DoRee MelNic

I woke up still feeling the touch

That visited in my dreams

Delicate and flirty

Intentional and every bit a surprise

I shifted and

Closed my eyes

Her Heart

in searching for comfort
found was a warm blanket of love
wrapping around my heart

an offering of safety and security
halting all the fears
at the door of our home

our intense passion flowed both ways
gifting each other expressions of nourishment
and declarations of love with our minds and bodies

then…

the roaring waves became still
more like the ebb of ripples in a pond
lapping up against me

and like carved sand on a shoreline
the deep impressions left behind
slowly washed away

leaving only one set of footprints

Sometimes it all just gets to be too much…

Here we go again by Michelle Ayon Navajas

here we are again challenged to confront
the things that we long wish to forget
the obstacles we struggle to get over
the pains we never get to surrender.

here we are again in a world of never-ending
regrets to what was supposed to be a beginning
regrets to what could have been’s instead
if we weren’t dumb and stupid.

here we are again in a cycle of wondering
will we ever get to the end of our suffering
will we ever get to give up
just love forever and never stop?

The Railway Line by Ramblings of a Fragile Mind

I
shouldn’t
need to
tell you
again

You
must
already
know

I
don’t
want to
be here
anymore

Please
just
let me
go

Life is difficult to traverse but so much easier when love is near. When you find it, hold on.

The Light of Your Love by Laura Denise

The light of your love
casts shadows upon
those other times and feelings
I thought I knew
what love was,

or perhaps it was love
but not of the purest,
for the white blooms
that I have been drawn to
now encompass
our joined spirit,

and that is how
I always hoped
love would be:
a spirituality
transcending
far beyond
earth’s reach.

This love of ours
is no fairy tale,
no dream;
it is a reality
that exceeds anything
I could ever
mortally perceive–

holy union,
reunion,
remerging of souls,
the light of our auras
combining to form
the portal home

to the next level,
and in that moment,
love becomes
christened,
and we ascend
as one
into our immortal
beginning;

this time
our fusion
will withstand
all partings,
for we achieved
the highest
form in history.

Come, my love,
let us take this
to even higher heights;
the heavens
have anointed us as

Love’s Very Design.

It’s Always You by Penny Wilson

I wonder why when I dream, it’s always of you

You were the one. The one I said forever to

Years have passed without your smile

I’m resigned to navigate the days and nights in solitude

My heart aches anew each time it realizes that you’re gone

I tend to romanticize the past leaving out those rough times, on purpose

The good times were good enough to live on in my memory

Decades later when I dream it’s always of you

It’s good to know that you really are the forever one

The one I’ll always dream of

Some relationships are awful, and some are great. Love sure is a gamble.

It Takes Two to Tango by Christine Bolton

A tango of emotions  
in my heart   
My nervous system  
runs on high alert  
and my mind feels like  
it was struck by lightning  
Your magnetic force  
is like rubbing against  
sharp edges  
of bad feelings  
Revelations come  
rushing in   
I have had enough

Life by Michelle Navajos

love me
without
limit.

hold me
without
disgust.

kiss me
with
passion.

embrace me
with
devotion.

together
we breathe life
to a new beginning.
