Tears Kissed Away

April 4, 2013

I feel your eyes search for me in the dark,
as I light white candles, scented with rose.
The room comes to life with warm golden hues...
I love the golden way your body glows.

I love the feeling of want in your eyes.
The way desire tastes sweet on our skin.
The way your touches fill empty spaces;
my heart, mind and body allow you in.

So gentle, lover, with my emotions;
safe, unbroken, held sacred as we fly.
You’re all the seasons with a single glance,
still you ask when you love me, why I cry.

This woman loves only with all her heart.
To be in these arms is no simple task.
My tears are a mix of sorrow and joy...
Only truth and trust can remove our mask.

Assurance is your touch, as each kiss heals.
And heal we must, all that came before.
Heal the past with our words and actions,
growing, changing, so loving all the more.

I stand before you, naked in the light,
my hand outreached and my soul cleansed anew.
As I have shared myself and given trust,
might I have the same of your heart and you.

About this poem:
I was insprired by recent poems I've read here and some thoughts about what I want and past relationships that have failed. I believe I have entered a new phase of my life and will NOT settle for less than, ever again. None of us are perfect, granted. To seek perfection is foolish, but to have what we need is not.

My dearest beautiful friend,

What a very true and deep testament of what life and love is. The process of going through all the motions and then BAM we are bent overbackwards. Then not wanting to go through again and again. But my dear like I said, don't give up. When I found my love, I gave up on love and even life for that matter. Yet look at that, when I least expected, the TRUEST OF TRUTH ON LOVE SHOWS UP. AND BAM...YOU ALREADY KNOW THE REST OF MY STORY. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL MY FRIEND AND I PRAY, HE THAT IS MEANT FOR YOU IS ON HIS WAY.

AND YES, DON'T SETTLE FOR JUST NEED. IT IS THE WHOLE OF WANTING, LONGING, FULFILLIKNG AND MOST OF ALL FEEDING THE SOUL THROUGH OUR DEEP LOVE AND PASSIO9N.

I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND.

Hi CAFE<> SHADOW<>CHERRY<>
Thank you all for those stunning comments. Thank you sincerely. I shared a lot more in those poem than I have in other...about romance anyway. I almost hesitated to post it. I know why, and it's because all this honest makes us feel vulnerable and lately I've had my share of that. So much going on around me and I decided to use this time, the grief and what I'm feeling and really thinking, to put something out there that's more of my heart. Thank you all for your wonderful responses. You are the best and you ARE a part of my support team. May we all be as kind, for you never know what someone is going through. Blessed be and hugs to you all. Celtic!~hug

now thats what true love is all about one heart one soul merging with another making the perfict song.
CelticPoet12
Thank you kindly Cameal. I give this topic a shot from time to time, as poets have since the beginning of time. LOL. At least at this age and stage of the game, I have enough understanding to hopefully make the next relationship my last one for life. Have a great day and thank you again.

A wonderful and romantic piece here Celtic. Thank you much for sharing...jessewine
CelticPoet12
Thanks JESSE, so kind of you. I am touched and very glad you liked this one. It's hard putting ourselves out there in such an honest way. But if we do not risk a little, we won't grow. Have a great day, filled with magic!~ Celtic...

We are born with just half of what makes us whole: our hearts, our compassion, and our sincerity. We run and run, looking for those other halves, and stumble until the day comes that we once dreamed of. And, we know, as you will, that there are no written words. There is only silence and tears of joy, as the two halves of the hearts speak to each other. Finally, our time of wondering can now come to a halt, as we hold on to each other in tears of joy.

John, your comments were beautifully stated. I really loved what you had to say about the silence of two halves of the same heart come together. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I remember the first poem I posted here and how hesitant I was to put myself out there. It's taken time to get this honest and share that. I wish you joy, happiness and heart treasures. Blessed be and thanks for your friendship. Celtic!~

hello CelticPoet,
so good to hear from you and how you're doing.
your poem is just lovely,
and i love how you end with a declaration of your need in the embodiment of a question... inherently, an invitation is given, with no demand made.

Merry Christmas hon, rose

Beautiful, how are you? Good to hear from you as well. I am involved in many things and come here when I can. Right now I am busy hand crocheting these amazing Hobbit Hats and they are selling very well. Thanks for your sweet comments. They always make my day!~ Blessings for the holidays and I really appreciate hearing from my CS friends. I've missed you! Hugs, Celtichug
CelticPoet12
DarkHorse and Yankee, good to read from you both!~ Thank you for comments and know they too made my day. The holidays circle us to mortality, important people in our lives and yes, loss. Poems such a this one are as Beautiful mentioned, and I keep hoping, as we all do for a bit of my own heaven. I have faith and still must live my life. You all make add what I need to stay grounded. Bless you for that. Thanks, deeply, Celtic.

May your holidays be pure magic!~wine
