Still of the Night...

Sitting here in the still of the night
I think of you,
I listen
As waves gently lap the shore,
They seem to whisper to each other
Sharing secrets
of years gone by,

The moon peeks out from behind a cloud,
shyly she dances on the crests of the waves
pirouetting on tiptoes,
Then suddenly
she is gone again,
As if playing a game of hide and seek,

A gentle breeze stirs in the stillness
Tracing its soft gentle fingertips
over my skin,
Like smooth velvet rose petals it showers me,

As in the still of the night, I sit
and think of you....

This is a Poem that I wrote in 2009. Just for the heck of it, I sent it to Russia. Even though the language was never translated, it hit their top ten.

The Beauty

The beauty is the holder of all things. The tenderness of the other is forever. To love, and hold each other in their arms is most precious. To have the holding of two, coming together, and the soft, sweetness of body and hands is love. The softness of the hands and bodies throughout the night, until all is slept well.

And when the other awakens, the look into the eyes, the compassion and caring, and the love and beauty of two souls will last forever. That’s love. To awaken again to my love and the beautifulness of the day is what makes all of the confusions and frustrations in life worthwhile. I will love you with tenderness and understanding each and every day. God bless our souls.

My heart pounds trying to listen to yours. Every beat is an indication of anticipation. My bleeding heart would take you into the blessed Heaven. Listen to my heart beat... let it be in sync with yours forever. To the ends of the Earth, let us beat together, so that all of the Earth and Heavens know, that we are one. Blessed be the ones who know, that this is the secret of life. Happiness is begotten to us, and all that are humble.
