Love is not based on a feeling only
There must also be a clear decision
Passionate feelings may die off early
Showing it was just infatuation
One should not need another as a crutch
But be able to stand on one's feet
This will allow each other space as such
And enrichen the sharing when both meet
A love relationship has its demands
It does not ensure smooth sailing always
Be mindful of this in each circumstance
And it will help you survive the rough days
The one that you love should be your best friend
Someone with whom you can share everything
A person upon whom you can depend
In situations that can be trying
As time passes, both of you will change
For change is inevitable in life
Do not consider this as something strange
Learn to adjust and avoid any strife
True love is the most precious emotion
That a person can engage in sharing
It fills the heart with blissful elation
Giving one's life a rich sense of meaning

About this poem:
"Love is a decision, it is a judgement, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgement and decision."
- Erich Fromm - (The Art of Loving)
“But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”
Kahlil Gibran – (The Prophet)

Faceless Man
Body of a Lion, strong and secure.
Mind of a gorilla, gentle but naughty.
Heart of an elephant, true and protective.
Faceless Man
With arms so gentle enfolded around me,
With lips that brush my brow so softly,
With a chest so safe I curl into each night.
With a heartbeat so strong I feel it with mine.
My faceless Man,
With you I belong.

I just stopped looking and took a break,
problem is he doesn't let me stop.
And so I came back to see if He was around:)

A Man scruffy and in work pants walked into a family gathering,
I felt the hairs on my neck tingle as his eyes held mine.
He smiled and flirted then left and was gone,
a week later a call at work brought him back into my life.
Slowly his words and soft yet strong actions drew me closer,
and his kisses melted me.
Each day i thank the universe for sending him to me,
and each day I hope it will not be the last.
Still so scared inside that i am not meant to have a forever after,
but maybe God decided to give me one after all.
Time will tell.
Sending love and hugs to the precious poets here that i see are still making this place magical.

A day with you brings hope of love, we both wear rings on our fingers too seal our love.
Comfort and happiness these are but a few, I stare into your eyes to study the view.
My hand holds your hand and will hold fast; my heart and my body tell me this will last.
Now I have you close, very close and holding you tight. Wow I’m a lucky guy as my mind screams out in delight.
So, rivers and streams may hit the seashore, but my hands over your body caresses my heart and soul forever more.

“Love’s Own Lullaby.”
Love sings its song a lover’s lullaby,
so softly it sings right into the heart,
lifting the heart to the midst of love’s sky.
A gentle song it has been from the start,
i see heaven in your beautiful face,
from me the song and vision never part.
Come now within my dreams of silk and lace,
where love it does shine with the brightest light,
Within Elysium dreams shines your grace.
You shall always be beauty to the sight,
always you come to me within my dark,
when i am with you life does shine bright.
Now with you my heart does sing like a lark,
your beauty shines and light is all i see,
now love shall always be more than a spark.
In beautiful dreams you will stand with me,
i now do sip from your lips so divine.
With you in my heart i am ever free,
as i look with love on your eyes that shine.

Deep within the starlight glade,
A child of light sits on emerald green.
Under a great tree her majesty sits In shade,
Her name Is Martina a glory to be seen.
Eyes are closed In peaceful bliss,
Loves' dreams within her mind do wander.
What loving thoughts her mind do kiss,
Not one thought shall her mind squander.
There sits Martina beauty divine,
Awaiting the stars to come out at night.
In starlight glade lost In time,
Where beauty shall meet beauty what a sight.
Then In glory the stars came out to play,
Martina does open her pools of Love.
Stars painted on dark velvet so far away,
Forever belonging In Heaven above.
You stand and start to walk the emerald green,
Stardust does fall onto glories hair.
Starlight falls upon your glory supreme,
You are the child of light an Angel fair.
Let me drown In pools of blue,
Smile become my living sun.
You open up a heart so true,
It opens In Love for everyone.
Now In starlight glade you are no more alone,
In darkened glory before you I stand.
Tonight your heart shall be my home,
Come my Irish Rose do take my hand.
Now I hold Heavens' glory close to me,
I lose myself within your pools of Love.
The beauty and wonder of Love I see,
It Is time for our hearts to rise above.
Your lips In glory they now meet mine,
In starlight glade our Love shall shine.
We do drink from Loves' cup divine,
You are Loves' eternal valentine.
Dream your dreams as you always do,
May your every dream come true.
Daughter of life may you always view,
This world of ours as you wish to do.
Martina always walk this world with pride,
Your beauty through the years It grows.
Never set your Love to hide,
Martina you are the beauteous Irish Rose.

Look at the sun
See the everlasting
Our hearts on the run
Love within our dream Is starting
Glory before me
The sun before my eyes
My Veronique
You lift my Soul to paradise
Oh Veronique
Your blue eyes are shining
You are my ever light
You are my silver lining
Stand before me
Our joy of Love Is starting
My Veronique
You are my Love everlasting

Do we Love for a moment or can our Love be everlasting? Each of us has our own answer to this question.

Tip toed in spin stopping in breath
Hand hold's the mask, floor stands in still
I promptly recall your scent from a time
A market from years, a long time ago.
That day you were masked as you are here right now
Your voice that I heard, hair brown in flow
Upward in thrust each questioning eyes
Hand pushed aside gives a what, kind of stare.
Her dress light in hem fondles the air
Eyes dance about with the odd glance of dare
He takes on lead right from under her feet
Hold's to his time, not loosing a beat.
Hall's filled with masks, masking away
Cape's sweep the floor, drama sin play
Hand on the small, the small of her back
Together they come clothed skin to skin
Masquerade's started
Shall we.......begin!

Love is sometimes bitter
It can also be delicious
Not junk, but, sometimes, you litter
Wasteful and avaricious
What I look for is a moment
Where I have you in the cross-hairs
You are my target, my key component
Don't want to catch you, all unawares
What I look for is more than a minute
Where you and are looking eye-to-eye
In your future, am I at all in it?
Or am I just that annoying guy
That guy who always puts into verse
I want to ad-lib, not be adverse
Look at me as a blessing, not a curse
Not always the best, but never worse
Love is sometimes bitter
Occasionally, it's hard to swallow
All things of value do not glitter
I'd prefer you lead, rather than follow

Please forgive how bad the poem is. I have not had my Morning Coffee yet. My kitty also keeps interuppting me to play. Five minutes into it, she curls up and starts snoozing.

In the moonlit night, our love takes flight,
Two souls entwined, shining so bright.
Underneath the stars, our hearts align,
A love story written in celestial design.
Your touch, a gentle breeze upon my skin,
Ignites a fire, a passion deep within.
In your eyes, I find my solace and peace,
A love so pure, it will never cease.
With every whisper, your voice a sweet melody,
A symphony of love that sets me free.
Together we dance, our hearts in sync,
Lost in a world where only love can think.
Your laughter, a symphony that fills my soul,
Turning life's moments into something whole.
In your arms, I find my sanctuary,
A place where love blossoms, extraordinary.
No words can capture the depth of what I feel,
A love so profound, it seems unreal.
You are my muse, my forever inspiration,
A love story written in eternal celebration.
So let us embrace this love we share,
In a journey of love beyond compare.
For in your presence, my heart finds its home,
Forevermore, together we shall roam.
