online today!
Some people in your lives
simply come then go ...
At the end of the day ,
the "why" often doesn't make sense
as we really deep inside know ...
But so is life...
Many you meet along the way
just don't seem destined to stay ,
regardless of your well-meant efforts and hopes
that perhaps they still may ...
With online dating and social media,
you really cant truly foretell
what most people you come across are all about...
And then you have to learn , the hard way,
when you, at last, get to find out ...
Because although you may put forward
your genuine self while out there,
Many walk around bearing a chip on their shoulder ,
or have skeletons in their closet ...
Could be wearing a mask in their true self's place,
or still struggling their own demons to face ...
And then there's those who genuinely want to,
but so afraid ...
Held prisoner by tight gripping fears deep inside ...
Conflict between desire & hesitation
trying their best to hide ...
Too frozen with dread
for that great leap of faith to take ...
So for now ... unable that wall to break ...

I love openly with my heart,
like a gushing river free and unbound ...
But this is not a dance I can do alone ...
I hear it say from deep within
with a sad sigh and muted moan ...
Surely, I was not born to give so much ,
only to end up with a lonely empty space beside me ...
Surely, not only in books and movies
exists such ...
I still believe it is so ... and to be ....
Upon reading Viggo Mortensen's words
about living with his longtime partner in Spain ...
(" I feel happy living there , because she's the woman
I love. I am totally hers and I'm delighted.")
I realize such unashamedly romantic,
intensely devoted men still exist ...
With nothing but everything to gain,
to live with your chosen love
and find it utmost fulfilling,
not, therefore, in this lifetime,
impossible to attain ....
What more can a loving woman
desire to hold in her heart beating...
No other than exactly words from a man
such as these ....
to turn into warming sun ....
the seemingly relentless rain ....
And never more to wrestle
with such musings and questions
now nor ever again ...

To all poets we call
your name's on the wall
may you never fall
on Valentine's Day
To the home all alone
forget what was sewn
get on the phone
on Valentine's Day
To the injured and ill
write on with will
can be a helluva skill
to get through Valentines Day

The happiest and saddest day of the year
Celebrated by the broken hearted in tears
Year after year waiting for your loved one
Cupid’s arrow always passing by with none
Those deeply in love embracing the day
In their own private world of sunshine rays
Red roses – candy hearts with cute verses
Loving kisses in their own universes
Each having their own dreams of days ahead
Some dreams granted – while others in shred
Here’s wishing everyone happiness this year
Spending it with someone you love most dear

About this poem:
Valentines Day can be a beautiful romantic day for those in love. But for some it can be a heart wrenching day - especially for women that men pass by year after year.

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear.” (1John 4: 18)
He said he loved me
And I thought I knew
What that really meant between us two.
And, at first, I tried
To make it true
By doing what I thought I knew
Was what he expected me to.
But alas, it all became
Such a strain to do and be what he wanted of me
And still I tried.
Unsatisfied.
He said He loved me
And though I didn’t truly know
I believed that He meant what He said.
I was delivered
By the Love He gave
To me, set free to do and be
What He willed of me.
And though His expectations of me
Are high, the strain is not the same.
He said He loved me
And, this time, I know it’s true.

About this poem:
The poem tells about the delusion of love versus the reality of love. It gives two scenarios - one in which love was heard as being present, and another in which love was actually felt.

This crazy world spinning around
All the time circling the sun
Then like a rainbow there you are
Your face shining like a constellation of stars
Sharing your face with mine
Strangers living in even stranger times
Each with our own burning desires
Fueling our hopes and dreams
Falls like the rain something called magic
Desert dust sprinkled by rain dancers
On top of all the little clouds pirouetting
Filling our minds and hearts overflowing
With an irresistible desire for each other
With undying devotion till our parting ways
Oh Valentine.!!!

No lavish gifts have I today,
To try and coax your heart to sway,
No chocolate treats, or blood red rose,
No gentle kiss to curl your toes,
But I thought of you and penned a poem,
With dreams of you my mind is blown,
It's just for you Dear Valentine,
To warm your day, as you warm mine,
And if it brings just a tiny smile,
The gesture will be so worthwhile,
Fond words today to you I send,
I simply can’t control this pen,
Take heed of what my poem imparts,
And join me in a clash of hearts,
For you one heart is not enough,
A dozen hearts too few,
And if I had two armfuls of hearts,
I would hand them all to you !

About this poem:
Years ago, before social media we would write Valentine cards covered with love rhymes .... then send them in the post to the ones that made our hearts flutter.
So innocent but very magical times.

Alone on a night made for love
You’d think that I might want to cry
But I sit here happy in thought
Heart soaring, I just want to fly
Tonight I have love for myself
No catering to another’s needs
True to my heart’s desires
Nothing to make it bleed
Nobody here to break my heart
A glass of wine in my hand
I toast to a beautiful evening
One without a man
This might make you feel lonely
But happy and brave is my call
I’ve learned to love myself
And that’s the best love of all
My blessings to all those in love
As romance is beautiful too
Just remember to love yourself
And to your heart be true

Emerald eyes
had to stare
smile ear to ear
Tall and lean
sexy in jeans
silent screams
Lips shinny and moist
sexy voice
filled with lust
bodies encrust
that’s the night I fell in love

I've worked out the computations, even ironed out the complications, if x squared equals 2 to the power of 3, then y is you and m is me.
Now that is obvious for anyone to see, but the chanches we would be, together eternally, and being no relation, well its called the Diophantine Equation , it is worked out so.................Find x, y, and z such that x³+y³+z³=k, for each k from 1 to a hundred,
Just in case you wondered!
So, now we are together, and when the planets have aligned, it shows our future path, and here is what I find, we are all one entity, eip + 1 = 0, its Euler's identity.
Now thats clear, whats meant to be if y is you and m is me, then now is as far as we can see, but you are my love, my soulmate, my friend ,and math or not we will be together until the end.
