Contented Love

Even the miles apart cannot still my beating heart....

Your voice such beauty flowing

In my ears from far away

I’m counting down the seconds

Till your returning day

I’m in a small cocoon

With our memories inside

It helps to keep me settled

Across the oceans wide

The calmness of our love

Is a comfort in my heart

For I miss you so deeply

Whilst we are apart

I ache to hold you close

And kiss those lips so sweet

And lie there naked with you

As we talk and love .. a treat

For when you come back home

Our lives begin afresh

No more will either one of us

Be any more enmeshed

Like birds upon the wing

We’ll fly together free

As lovers … one together

For everyone to see

To walk the sandy shores

And climb the mountains high

Within each other’s arms

With such a gentle sigh

For you are now my future

My love to now behold

A love that will sustain us

As we gradually get old

A love that burns with passion

A love contented too

That’s why my darling lady

I’ll always be with you

I can see how your feelings and emotions practically flowing from this peice. I can almost visualise the feelings you have described in a sweet, dewey sort of way.

I absolutely loved these lines. My favorate in this poem.

These lines may have been vulgar if placed in any situation, but suprisingly in this poem, it is not. It creates an effect of sincerety and lovingness. Thats very surprising and very cool too.

Keep writing peices like this. Great work altogether. ~KA~

I had to sit for a moment and collect my thoughts, let alone my breath.
You've pulled a smile onto my face, one that will not go away.
I read this aloud. I couldn't help it. I wanted the sing-song quality out there so I could hear.
I didn't want the voice in my head, I wanted to read your words and have my lips utter them so I could hear them, breath them, smell them and welcome them into me.
This is just divine. Absolutely divine. Your words of love are sweet and honest and pure.
No taint, no sorrow. It's like a warm blanket on a cold winters night, with a cup of hot chocolate wrapped around your soul.

A writer a little sprinkle of emotion- mixed with honesty and a massive slice of talent, and we have ourselves the perfect romantic peice for everyone who is away from thier loved ones at this or any other time. Not only does this poem resinate with people over here it spans the ocean and has the power to touch hearts everywhere.
Top stuff

From the rhyme of the introduction that pulled me in, I was taken with the flow of your heart, the way you visualise and move the images of your love around. I enjoyed the way the word 'love' appears more frequently towards the end as though making a definitive point bringing the poem nicely to a close with
'That's why my darling ladyI'll always be with you'.
Nicely done.

You make the seperation sound worth it. Keeping the love alive for months for that blissful reunion. It seems there is an explosion of passion in you.

[R J Askew]

OK I surrender! Your sunset and night poems set me in vampire mood and I did write the dark one as a result. But your capacity to write with the angels seems endless. The strength of the love you describe seems 'right' and inexhaustible. The optimism you capture is strong and I am sure captures how many people feel or would like to feel. Your poems are little models of hope...reading them is like watching someone build a lighthouse to love and hope, with hints of previous despairs perhaps. Your theme does not vary and the project is progressing brick by brick. Respect.

I can understand the distance. I hate being apart even for a little while from my love. At least he isnt that far away.
Beautifully penned love from your heart
