Smiles Adorned in White

Love is not restrained to the faculty of sight
A lovely face will, of course, naturally enthuse
Heartfelt emotions – it shall surely invite
Significant feelings melting into love suffuse.
And when an unquenchable passion
Inflames you to a sincere and honest smile
Despite everything else may be out of fashion
There’s a lasting beauty that’s surely worthwhile
So My heart springs genuine and authentic action
That dreams of walking you down this aisle

Reminiscence of Devotion

Reminiscence of Devotion

Reciting memories of love, you are burning;

I writhe and twist in your blaze.

But a warming ember you are

To others in the coldest of days.

To resuscitate life in you

They drew out my tears.

Like a hymn I sang this offering

For this hallowed communion of suffering.

Take this bitter-sweet chalice from me

The memory of devotion made muted

And transmute my oblate state

Into radiant love and life yielded

Feeling Love’s Pulse

Love is a disconcerting headache,
A dazzling visual hallucination
Blurring out reason.

Symptoms of genuine love
Are French anorexie and jalousie,
Désirs d'embrasser;

Are hunches and torments -
Waiting for her cell phone text,
Waiting for a portentous sign:

For a brush of her hand
In a warm muted room,
For her tender gaze.

I can endure any hurt
By any hand, but hers?

Love on the edge of audacity!
