Hand in hand we walk thru the soft blades of grass;
our two joys skipping in our shadows.
We turn around to see little Aahana,
with her windblown hair and rosy cheeks
giggling at her older brother.
Making blowfish faces in the air,
he is humming a whimsical tune
to make Aahana laugh.
The early start of spring brings about
hopes, dreams, sunshine, rainbows
and giggling children skipping
in the shadows of their loving parents.

Good Morning

I love the feel of you in the morning
The softness of your hands, roughness of your feet
the way your legs feel wrapped around mine
I love the way you turn to face me
Even in your sleep
I love when you open your eyes
And see me gazing at you
And you gaze back at me
Smiling, you touch my face and whisper
Good morning sweetheart …

Silent Tears

Time has seized to exist
My heart frozen like
Icicles on a once flowing stream
I am to mourn you
But it is me I mourn
I am to bury you
But it is me
Who wishes to be buried
Empty faces staring, pointing
Shaking their heads at my loss
We had just laughed, just touched
And now you have just left...
It is time now, I cannot move
As a testament to our love
A steady stream of
silent tears I shed. Goodbye.

Lost in Clouds

An emptiness blankets me
Like a cloak of darkness
Descending upon light
The silence is deafening
I hear echoes of your voice
Your laughter, ringing in my ears
When I am without you
With you I am lost in the clouds
You, my angel smiling down on me
I want to be lost with you
Come find me again so that we can get
Lost in the clouds together.

What did you do?

What did you do

With laughter in your eyes
And a softness in your heart
What did you do to me?

Your need so strong
Your touch so sensual
Your yearning intense
Your eyes so gentle
What did you do to me?

You entrapped me with your smile
Made me a slave to your touch
Tell me, what did you do to me?

Anticipation

You are scared, me too
Your eyes are shaded
With the color of passion
Tiny hues of anticipation

Come here, hold my hand
You are shaking, me too
I want to touch you
burning with anticipation

Do not be scared, I am here
My arms will protect you
We will douse this fire
And there will be no more

Anticipation ...

Hello - finally

Can you hear it
The rapid beating
Can you feel it
The sweet anticipation
We have waited long
Using small words to occupy time
Sometimes often, sometimes rare
But each day, a word or two
To remind us of this time, this day
Where two virtual friends
Finally make the few heartfelt words
Ring true ...

Hello, it is nice to finally meet you.
