love, rose,
If love could have a color, I suppose
it wouldn’t be just any common shade.
I’d name it for the colors of the rose.
In heaven’s hues this flower is arrayed!
From chaste love’s hush of pink to heady rush
that’s shown by cardinal or crimson red,
the rose reveals the grades of ardor’s blush
unto the time it’s thought that passion’s fled.
But in the tint of amaranth, the fire
endures; in purple deep it can transcend,
while yellow blooms in bliss that does not tire,
and white’s fidelity will have no end.
Though black the bud, a red will grow thereof.
By any other name, the rose is love.

imagery, love,
One last gray hair clings to my breast
from times I held you in my arms.
It speaks to me of one last rest
but more to hold me with its charms.
Remembering,
and cherishing.
I pray its grasp is firm and strong
and holds my heart with relevance,
to know with you my passions long
for love not paused by circumstance.
Fidelity,
Serenity.

Fidelity:
The north star of the soul
That
Helps the heart navigate
Over
The turbulent waters of temptations
And
Through the perilous reefs of lust
Towards
The serene shores of happiness,
But
Often unobserved remains by the many,
For
It is hidden behind the clouds of
Impetuous desires!

By the crescent moon above
I dreamt of your embrace, my love
In the moonlight by the sea
We sailed away just you and me
Protected by the clair de lune
A million stars on honeymoon
Enlaced we pledged fidelity
Our hearts teeming with intensity
The moon our witness for eternity

betrayal, lost love, love, nature, romance, sad love,
Life has cruel ways of muting emotions
Over time in how we treat each other
Manifest and shameful self promotion
At the expense of loved one’s own druthers
Forgetting the passion igniting fire
With the excuse we’re busy and stressed
Denies quite natural human desire
Honesty and fidelity to test
Love backs up our romantic interest
Keeping us engaged emotionally
Denying love creates awkward distance
Lonely nights and lonely days equally
Prioritize now and do not delay
For we are never given tomorrow
Promote passion today, too busy at bay
Jump start romance and save yourself sorrow

bereavement, death of a friend, farewell, grief, heaven, loss, sad love,
Your sudden departure caused glum wonder
A blow that was sinking deep into core
Panic and tough refusal grew under
Death by the final course was to blame for.
Fidelity is dug from a soft spot
His bittersweet timeline has proven such
Makes to think if love is worth the long shot
Little bit of drama for a soft touch.
Yet too forlorn to accept selfishness
Detaching duties of a well-wisher
Comfort is given to a reticence
Ignorance to the acquired fresh blister.
My dear friend grilled upon reaching the cure
To after one’s own heart that was thought pure.

The Last Hope, Translation of Paul Verlaine’s sonnet : Dernier espoir
There stands a tree in the cemetery
Thrusting itself up in total freedom,
By no means the fruit of bereavement –
Spreading itself out on stone unobtrusively.
In this tree, be it summer or winter,
A bird alights to trill clearly
It’s sad song of such fidelity.
This tree and this bird do us bind together :
You the object of my thoughts, I the absence
That time takes stock of in evanescence…
Ah ! To live again propped up against your knees !
Ah ! To be alive again ! But stay yet awhile, my lover,
Let not the void be my chilling victor…
At the least, say : I live but in your intimate core ?

romancelove,
Will you whisk me
far away
from the only
life I've known?
Can we step
into the froth
and set sail
to a distant home?
Will we travel
light as gypsies
dancing jigs
to exotic tunes?
Can you teach
me foreign tongues
as the dawn breaks
into noon?
Will you love me
so completely
no other girl could
turn your head?
Can you promise
me fidelity
upon our
marriage bed?
Will you be my knight
and champion
and guard my heart
so true?
Can you love me
to eternity
if I say yes
to you?
***I beg forgiveness from everyone who reads this, I have nothing to say for myself
except it was kinda fun to write!

MAKING HIM JEALOUS
Five lovers have I, nimble servants each
One comes to me in ardour where I teach
One comes in curiosity attired
And only leaves when senses all are fired
One comes in blossom with fidelity
He leaves behind a bird’s nest in my tree
One comes to worship at my body’s shrine
Leaves me devotion and a glass of wine
One comes to me without being capricious
Of all his charms I’m the most suspicious
Five faithful servants all do me adore
Until I am their servant, asking more –
I’m beggared but so rich in sex and sentiment
I’ll tax them all for this faithful flower meant.

the pearly light of love

With the uniqueness and beauty
invited the cheerfulness
and amazing graces
band everyone
who enjoyed the beauty
with its light of love
the patience in waiting
Is the only dream
on hold
waiting for
the steadfastness and sincerity
which strengthen the shells
to protect the pearly light of love
waiting for
the shells’ willingness to open up
and cast its beautiful light
the pearly light of love
O Extremely beautiful and stunning
a genuine pearly light of love
swathed in
its eternal fidelity

Almond blossom, not amaryllis...
sweetness against pridefulness.
Say it with some intense feeling...
seek that flower expressing loving.
Almond blossom or lemon blossom...
revering love with an incredible charm.
Childness must not be unfaithfulness...
feel the sublimest joy of blessedness.
There are sweet memories with a primrose...
be captivated by a cheerful, delicate pink rose.
Almond blossom over a bunch of beauties...
you wouldn't let your choice ruin possibilities.
Oh, did you forget about the white water lily?
You may need it for truthfulness and fidelity.

PATHS OF LOVE
Puppy love
First love
Wishing for true love
And finally everlasting love
Its how everyone begins
Listening to love songs
Dedicating their own theme songs
Then dear diary begins
Holding on to the songs
I've Fallen for You
Crazy for You
Who knows how many songs
First kiss
Wedding gowns
Wedding vows
Wedding kiss
Hoping love is till death do us part
And no one will depart
I do is the best part
But fidelity is the most significant part

"The heart that swore fidelity"
After I'm gone
You may not cry for me
You'll find the truth
Engraved upon my door:
"Here lived a heart
That swore fidelity
Through peaceful days
And through the nights of war"
Go on and feed
Your youthfull soul with pride,
With awe you wake
In all those lost and cold
After I'm gone
You'll come back just to find
This secret pledge
Written upon my door.
Though years have passed,
Though I have known them all -
Pale breasted loves
Aiming to steal your light
I let you sail,
And if such is your choice -
Than silent waiting
Becomes the choice of mine.

TO THE ONE WHO IS LOVE
Life is brittle
If love is little
Trust in Him
Learn to trim
The unsuitable
Flourish the valuable
In Him
Life is everlasting
To Him
Love is unceasing
With Him
Everything is unfading
Love is unconditional
When there is empathy
Love is total
When there is affinity
Love is genuine
When there is fidelity
What is life
If theres no one to trust
What is life
Is there's nowhere to run
To Him our life we can entrust
To Him anytime we can run
Life is brittle
If love is little
Trust in Him
Learn to trim
The unsuitable
Flourish the valuable

emotions, love, moon, night, wind,
The full moon, drives the dread of the night, into dark corners. The light upon whose face it falls, takes a moment, to bathe in its shine. Wolves call it by name, and vow their fidelity. Then, into the horizon it sinks, making the dawn even doubt its existence. The desert winds, foretell the coming of the witch of the night, whose victims never know...they have fallen in love!

MIDNIGHT PEARL
Pearl is precious
Sea pearl even hard to find
Much more a mermaid at guard
Human pearl even more
A human being is a true beauty but weak
More than ever it needs careful care
A lady with a heart
Is a midnight pearl
The heart is a focal point
Center of her morality and fidelity
Her love must be pure and spontaneous
It can’t be gleaned outside
It is deep inside
The night is enormous and blinding
Its horizon must be lingering
Prove worthiness that endures! It can make waves…

emotions, feelings, heart, imagery, love hurts,
I don’t sniff your pillow anymore
and no longer hug it late at night.
For though your subtle scent still lingers
your picture is now nowhere in sight.
Denying rumors of betrayal
you assured me that your love was true.
But despite vows of fidelity
you quickly severed my heart in two.
You arrogantly brag to your friends
that I'll not easily forget you.
And I admit I cried when you left,
but those tears have dwindled to a few.
Time has banished you to memory
erasing the scars left on my heart.
And last night, all of my dreams returned,
although now another plays your part.

emotions, feelings, heartbreak, introspection, love hurts,
You realize your wild side
lies somewhere within the past.
And that forever dreams fade,
although you wish they would last.
Your most precious memories
are but shadows, nonetheless.
And when replayed countless times,
tend to merge and digress.
Images of both who you are
and how you feel are explored.
But, your doubts and misgivings
all get discreetly ignored.
Cynical hearts dissect love,
despite its fragility.
And attempt to mold it to
fit rules of fidelity.
Time allows two lonely hearts
to enter a bond of trust.
And hope encourages closeness,
free from the shackles of lust.

anger, how i feel, life, love hurts, men, rude, satire,
Thank God you have the looks
Must this be you use to hook
Your tongue utters the sweetest
Yet lies the unhidden, I detests
You talked of fidelity and loyalty
Yet, recently tell me what you display
True if you tell me, I have not a right
Yet, allow me to speak in behalf of women
Man not because you are unseen
Don't be weak to commit a sin
It is just one dear picture
Yet, my eyes hold in capture
I laugh at your guiltiness
Yet, I'll condemn you for cruelness
Player of love and of heart
Soon to punishment you don't depart

If I am to love again, let it be
A love exchange friend and friend.
Beloved, a true love.
If I keep pace, a relay race.
If I am to love again, let it be monogamous.
And I slay the heart of the one which I love.
A love that spawns a passion which yearns.
Let the one not start to depart while this
Gifted one sees my entrails, The me that I am.
You see, I bleed.
I have proclamations of my Love's AUTHENTICATION.
IF I am to love again let it be of a kind of seed which
Clamours for a love beset in me of NOURISHED FIDELITY.

love,
Love is indeed a very short word
Four little letters spell it out
But those letters can mean a lifetime
Of joy, there's absolutely no doubt
Sure you've heard this many times
It makes the world go round
The reason we create this aura about us
In spite of the ups and downs
The male is supposedly the dominant one
But that's when we hunted for food
Now the ladies seem to be running things
Using sex to control our moods
Works each time though we surely know
Her tactics are to encourage fidelity
We fall each time for that moment sublime
When we lose all sense of reality

confusion, husband, lost love, love, sad, wifelove,
When you are deeply in love with a man whose heart is as black as coal,
Even though you don't know it, He'll wither away your soul.
You think you know him, oh so well.
But he's controlling, manipulative, and he's made your life a living hell.
Trust, unequivocal love, fidelity and support is what you gave him.
In return, he took everything you own and you're left saying "who, what, where and when"?
Secretly you still have love for him and you don't know what to do.
Wake up, he's never going to change, stupid, he never really loved you!!!!

She stands before him with naked truth…
He bows in her name, within the hands exposing truest love from youth…
United destiny of hallowed vibrations surrounds this life’s path…
Transforming each other’s suffering into a healing misty wrath…
Woven tightly their braided bliss connects man, heaven, earth…
Sharing visions with divine messages that increase the alls collective worth…
Reconnects brethren with holy oneness position…
Reminding all beings to live from loves intuition…
The mystery of their winning spiritual season,
Found inside these three words; kindness, compassion, reason...

In This book of life
There are only lies
Some wear a fake smile
and some in disguise
No matter of fidelity
deception only survives
In this book of life
There are only lies
In this game of love
why everybody cries
Priceless this heart now
being sold in price
no matter of pureness
beauty only survives
in this book of life
there are only lies
