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~

Beautiful, I can't help but cry salty tears when I read your poems they are so passionate, romantic, tender, loving declarations of your love........in a way they make me sad in my loniness and at the same time they offer hope that one day I will have love with someone such as this....:)

Phil, this is beautiful - I love being the age that I am, because I do think that mature love is the most satisfying! And this poem agrees to that, even if you are separated from your woman at times. As I read your romantic poems, I hope that at some point, you two will be able to be together soon (at least within driving distance LOL) My favorite lines: I'm in a small cocoonWith our memories insideIt helps to keep me settledAcross the oceans wide - beautiful!!!

Wow, be still my heart. I could feel this being echoed across the world to your lady. Such love, such passion and yet so tender. Beautifully penned. Great write.

Hey I have not come across such unleashed passion in your poems very often.There has been longing and deep love but this ache this desire is new and vivid!
