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!

love, proposal,
A friend of mine took our photo
So many years ago.
There we were sitting on a running board,
Sitting side by side,
Loving each other and promising fidelity.
We were parked in a lonely lane,
Hid from watchers as we cared not to be seen
Losing count of love as emotions thrilled.
Until sunset meant time up,
We left and returned to our homes.
Until the day I proposed
And what a wedding did we have.

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

dog, love,
One shouldn’t be presumptuous, I know this all too well
But I’ve seen such fidelity and love as strong as hell
I’ve felt adoring eyes on me, her heart and mine are tied
Even when distracted I can feel her by my side
I’d never click my fingers like I’m beckoning a waiter
But if I did she’d be there ‘NOW’ and not sooner or later
I feel unworthy of the way she idolises me
I’m an ordinary fella, which I hope she’ll never see
Sometimes she is barred from places that we’d like to visit
But we’ll eat takeout in the park and it will be exquisite
She’s always there for me, forever at my beck and call
Yet all she ever asks of me… is that I throw her ball

love, sonson, son,
Our love had been built on a firm foundation
Trust, compassion and fidelity as well
I thought there’d be no cause for consternation
We thrived for a time in a magical spell
He was my white knight and I remained his belle
Never a doubt, certainly no confusion
Any misgivings his blue eyes would dispel
But moving in marked the end of illusion
~~~~~~~~~ Volta ~~~~~~~~~~
His son emerged from video seclusion
This twenty-year-old had never worked a day
He found my presence to be an intrusion
He flung jabs in attempts to drive me away
Thought we had it all, but his son was the boss
Now I’m struggling to recover from this loss

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 ?

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

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

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.

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.

the pearly light of love
created
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

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

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...

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, heartbreak, introspection, love hurts,
You realize your wild side
lies somewhere within the past.
And fantasy dreams can fade,
even though you wish they'd last.
Your most precious memories
are but shadows, nonetheless.
And when reviewed countless times,
they tend to merge and digress.
Presumptions of who you are
and how you feel get explored.
And yet, doubts and misgivings
oft get discreetly ignored.
Cynical hearts question love;
despite its fragility.
And attempt to control it,
with rules of fidelity.
But hope allows lonely souls
to enter a bond of trust.
And encourages closeness
outside the pleasures of lust.

divorce, lost love, marriage, perspective,
A sweet marriage turned sour, had to be tossed in the trash
Wooden emotions of affection, anger burned love into ash
Marital memories put in the attic, placed in boxes covered with dust
Two cancerous affairs of the heart metastasize into fidelity distrust
Second mortgage is under water, swamped in bills ... no levee cash
Wedded bootleggers drown sorrows drinking the moonshine mash
A once healthy marriage died yesterday, got buried in divorce
Resurrected maiden name celebrates, in a singles bar of course

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!

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.

flower,
I love the rose whose elegance and grace
are shown us on her lovely petaled face.
Newly bloomed, she glistens in morning’s dew.
So dazzling is she in her every hue.
Pink, yellow, peach, violet-blue, and red!
Joy she brings to many a garden bed.
But if fidelity you’re thinking of,
pick roses white to give your one true love!

emotions, feelings, heart, imagery, love hurts,
I don't sniff your pillow anymore;
and I've stopped hugging it late at night.
Although your subtle scent still lingers,
your photos are no longer in sight.
Denying that you ever cheated,
you swore to God that your love was true.
But despite vows of fidelity,
betrayal severed my heart in two.
You cavalierly brag to your friends
that I'll not easily forget you.
And I admit, I cried when you left;
but those tears dwindled to but a few.
Time reduced you to a memory
shortly after we drifted apart.
And all my lost dreams and hopes returned,
finding their way back into my heart.

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!!!!
