Love
Emanates from the creator
Gathers in our hearts
And moves forward to touch others
Who have meaning in our lives

Friendships are
What keep us going
In times
Of stress
And woe
Friends can hear our pain
And rejoice
In our
Happiness
They know when to approach us
And when
To let us alone
Friends can hear
When we need
To be held
And allow us the time
To lick our wounds
Friends
A gift
Indeed

Held
In the arms
Of love
Never to return
To
Normalcy
Again

Love is such a small word
For the experience of a life time
That takes one
From the inner knowing of experience
To the outward joy of being surrounded
With safety and permanence
Love permeates
Takes over the bad
And makes it into
Everlasting good
One can do anything
Perform feats beyond their ken
When they
Are filled
With true, pure
Love

How is it
That I never knew
The love of a man
In this way
You, my dear
Have settled into my heart
And taken my breath away
Which I gave readily
A long life together
Is in the cards
With anticipation
I await your arrival

I await my love’s desire
He comes to me in the night
Holding his hand out
To greet the new dawn
And I cuddle in
With anticipation
Of a new day

Alone again
With the possibility
Of finding myself
And instead
I chose
To find new love
