we have danced…
together through time
and space many
moons before now
i have fallen at your feet
and held your heart within mine
something ancient stirring
within us both
as old as the sun and stars
one glance was all it took
one glance, like a flame re-kindled
i burned for you once more
two souls lost in a forgetting world
that has forgotten
to love itself

I've waited for you
for my whole life
Almost eighteen,
and I'm tryna love myself

I'll keep on hoping,
put my love on the line
'cause love don't come running,
they arrive just in time

I've longed for you
for all the times I could remember
Those future memories with you,
are what keeps me going further

And my faith
is getting less blind
'cause I believe soon you'll arrive,
maybe in a year or five

I've prayed to God
for your descendant
Through times of
storms and tribulations

When things gets hard,
I'll be just fine
'cause I know you'll arrive
and it'll all be alright

I'll wait for you
for far more times
I'll lurk out the windows,
just give me the sign

Five years
of caged butterflies
and one day
you'll come arrive.
I just realized that I have this poem in my draft since I had just turned 17!
Might as well post it, it's 1:43.

The sound of your voice kisses the crevices of my soul
Like a sheet of silk woven with the the embers of a crimson sunset.
That deep baritone caresses the shards of my heart that disintegrated when we were pulled apart.
The essence of your words hugs the very core of my being
And envelopes all the letters that my heart should be sending
But here I stand with my only company that tiny gold cufflink.

it's like i've loved you before i could breathe.
it's like i've loved you since the first time i cried
and i cried because i couldn't find you.
our souls are connected,
veins to veins, with blood and life rushing through us as one.
i gravitate towards you
and if atoms tried to split between us
and break our bond once more, my love,
we may have to disprove the laws of science.
because you and i, we are forever and always,
past, present, and future.

Love and war's eternal kismet
are forever bound
They are hand
in hand


Still under the weather but feeling somewhat better today!
I hope to get back to some more women of myth poems soon
Hopefully after this week passes, I can resume...
My nerves are still raw on the surface.
Stay safe and well everyone
Much love
Lyn 💜

The rain came down, tapping the window as if to get our attention.

The lightning flashed to the beating of our hearts, in sync, in pulse. Faster and faster.

The clouds stirred above our heads, and the darkness comes to life.

But we don't turn, though the rain birthed a mote for us to witness.
We are not blinded, though the lightning flashes the vast sky.
And we can see, though the darkness is evergrowing.
Right into our eyes.

Absolutely nothing in this world could come between.
i got up this morning
a faded light into my room
i turn my face
you were there
next to me
it wasn'a dream
you are finally my reality

I see the beauty of you such as no other woman holds,
Cast in radiance and uniqueness by natures precision moulds.

And though others may not see you as my eyes perceive the view.
I live for the grace and the beauty that my dreams perceive in you.

My eyes are drawn to beauty's smile written there upon your face,
like a touch of heaven when we join in love's warm embrace.

I feel my heart skip to match the rhythm of your gentle sigh,
the softness of you near me forcing my every sense to high.

Your sensuous, delicate lips that I am so longing to know and kiss,
where my soul yet sings aloud to make a moment such as this.

I am captivated by every soft curve and all of your alluring charms,
sure my heart will know completeness with you there in my arms.

Two souls content by touching, set on lighting passion's hottest fire,
ignited by the bond of two lovers totally consumed by deep desire.

Feel of naked flesh pressed upon my own bodies now made as one,
with universe as if vanished, all else but us seemingly now gone.

Unified realm of heart, mind and soul's most contented place,
as we lose ourselves to loves inspired intoxicating embrace.

Caught and bound by love's true bond each for the other one.
who knows if one day I will find it, but until then, I dream on.
What if I die with a heart full of unused love? How can you express in words such sadness? A soul can feel it but a mind has trouble expressing it. No words are enough. 3 edits already.... don't like the first stanza... anyone want to help?

Sleepy
Dreamy
My prince charming
Loveless until the heartbreak
Loveless until you grip my waist
The moons descend so perfectly captured
Wearing your scent you're all that matters
Like a cat's purr, you rev up my engine
My soulmate; eternal protection
The balance I crave no second-guessing
About where you are and who you are with
About what you are doing and where you sit
Never victim to your tongue
Only making love and fun
When the stars shine in the sky so brightly for us
Blinding their jealousy with love
But in the eye of the hurricane, you cannot even bother
If you got me as I got you then we will prosper
