sweet zephyr breezes
jasmine empress butterflies
rainbows in our sky
silence once golden
angelic voices trumpet
song of the poet
unity breeds strength
moonbeams in togetherness
sunlight for each one
living in the now
join the love revolution
smile on your brother
seeker of eden
no longer searching alone
bards in harmony

loneliness, longing, lost love, love, silence,
at times the emptiness weighs
heavy in my pool of wistful solitude
sometimes it’s more than i can bear
at times I listen to the silence
and how its nothingness echoes in my head
sometimes it’s more than i think i can bear
at times i crave the longing of togetherness
the gentleness of lips upon my own
sometimes it’s all much more than i can bear

some days you may
be low on strength
i’ll give you mine
life is bigger than cancer
we feed off each other
the closeness of our bond
finishing each other’s
thoughts and sentences
your smile your touch
there’s magic in the details
in the togetherness of you and i
in life being bigger than cancer

cancer, caregiving, deep, garden, mentor, psychological, recovery from,
In a summer of lastingness, long ago,
what you had in store for me my love,
I could've never known.
Through the depth and channels
of the heart, you have shown me
life begins, where the loving starts.
Like an unfolded rose growing in the
morning's misty dew, you feed me
and then sheltered me as I grew.
If I stood before you today my love
you would see a full rose in bloom,
not at all hindered by gloom.
A strong stem, no regrets, no sorrow.
Only togetherness with you, full of
brighter tomorrows.
Thank you for all you planted in the
garden of my hardened soil.
A summer of lastingness has forever
brought tenderness instead of toil.

Should it hurt?
The word "LOVE"
A gift of happiness,
togetherness
A breath to breath combination
stomach rotation, when love is gone
Should it hurt?
Moving on!
Pulling oneself together
After falling far from heartache
A feeling hard to bare
until another comes along
The End

Traversing one's life

lost love
looking at your pictures
you always knew to smile
with my silent moment
i'll think of you a while
and try not to let those memories
become a tearfull reunion
but savor the precious moments
and have a delightful communion
sometimes i think about
your fingers and your toes
and looking at your picture
i remember your pretty crooked nose
the way you did your hair
when you got dressed up
the scarfs, the ribbons, earrings
and other pretty stuff
i can see your picture
and i even have a recording
of your voice
but i'd rather have you
if i ever had the choice
looking at you picture
and remembering your voice
i'd much rather have you
if i ever had the choice

When Sparks Fly.
The magic in our togetherness make's sparks fly.
Years of me loving her, her heart will always be mine.
Our trials, our errors, through out our years.
Seeing grandchildren we made, strikes me to tears.
Two hearts we have still beat as one.
The magic of our love is like white morning doves.
We are still young then turning so old.
Magically we are still in love 7 times fold.
I have found my soul mate early in my life's stride.
We both believe our love, with togetherness is our pride.

Life is a pleasure with loyal friends
Otherwise faith in them shortly ends
Years of togetherness, trust and love
Add to the friendship and keep the vow
Lucky am I to have some friends for life
To guide and support me when in strife
Yes loyal friends can be husband and wife
Loyalty- no money can buy
It doesn't fall from the sky
It doesn't grow in open fields
Only from love loyalty yields

Dreams, they are what builds my bridges.
Pure love and togetherness,
That's all I could ever hope for.
He speaks of marriage with contempt,
With excitement and pleasure.
They say once we arrive at a certain age,
Our imagination runs dry.
Oh, how wrong they are!
As for women never outgrow it,
Their men are forever up to something.
I let mine roam free,
Decided to be my own enemy.
With time, that seed grew,
As did my enemy.
I've never once imagined,
It to leave me gasping for air,
Leaving me in an everlasting nightmare.
A conscience needing clarity,
A white picket fence now covered in moss.

Come Darling and see
there’s sunlight in the
shadows
no wind in the lee
and under the tree
repose
Beside you and me
subliminal the
meadows
Yet under my nose
scent of damask rose
so strong
like our afterglows
fading blush rush rose
Love song
togetherness flows
and in tomorrows
belong
Babbles rush along
whilst church bells ding dong
agree
We never seemed wrong
as soulmates belong
Look…See
they’re playing our song…

Love is the commitment based on respect
To forge an alliance in ways abstract
When two hearts unite as life's architect
Their souls intertwine by a karmic pact
Knitting the fabric of their daily life
Blissful togetherness its foundation
Nurturing exchanges devoid of strife
Each other the object of affection
Unblemished trust is the almighty glue
The strength to surmount any obstacle
Promise to be loyal faithful and true
Protecting fiercely our inner circle
Sometimes we're needing to work through baggage
To heal within a small child with damage

Not Alone
Edward Clay
Created October 2016
What sadness
does a veil of laughter hide?
What sorrow
does gleeful merriment cover?
Behind the smile,
Someone’s aloneness and sadness
might be disguised.
It is fear does this.
Fear someone will see.
How alone one is.
Will find
how sad behind the smile is.
I speak from experience.
I speak from time spent
alone and sad.
Spent feeling
was not grown enough of soul
to be able to love.
I did finally
take off my mask.
The covering smile
over dark sadness.
I say to you it is never too late
it is ever possible to find.
Love,
Contentment,
Togetherness.
The knowledge
you are not alone.

Our sanctuary is our togetherness
Where tenderness thrives effortless
We’ve forged ahead never sitting on sidelines
Traveling roads of scattered joys and landmines
Depths of unity a pearl so rare to find
Time lasting beyond the confines of our mind
Fighting uphill battles, life’s rollercoaster ride
Reaching journey’s end with nowhere left to hide
Once the dragons have all been slain
There’s a haven where you will feel no pain
Comes the hour that can no longer be outrun
Fear not the sleep in arms of angels, my loved one

Molten gold sunbeams
across silent water
clouds embossed in glossy silvery hue
a kiss with soft painted lips
planted upon smooth skin
bathe in morning droplets of dew
gentle whispers that ride
on the morning wind
a bond forged by gentle hands
love pure without restrictions
a eternal embrace
touching, feeling, knowing
it is with mutual loving consent
someone to share your life
someone to stand by your side
a spiritual bond of togetherness.

Togetherness
You know not a word of my language
I know not a letter of yours
We lay somewhere in a dark corner
Passing on –
Passing on warmth.
You know not my friends or my enemies
I know not your joy or your grief
We lay somewhere clearly forgotten
Passing on –
Passing on peace.
You know not how to cause me pain
I know not how to hurt your pride
We lay somewhere, and plan to go nowhere -
Keep passing on –
Passing on life.
We know not tomorrow’s direction
We know not the days that will last
We lay somewhere, and there’s nothing happening -
We lay somewhere where there is
Just us…

i won’t pretend
to grasp

deep within
you need to know
with all your heart
i’m right here
by your side
and my emotions
entwined with yours
one chaotic vortex
caught in that whirlwind
of togetherness

A singular pair
Your feelings, your emotions,
Are they mine to share?
Your frustrations, your insecurities,
Is that my cross to bare?
Are we singular, a unit,
Or are we a pair?
Are your struggles my own
If our future we share?
Togetherness means one,
But are we not two?
Do I live for myself?
Or do I live for you…

love, memory,
my soul rides upon the winds of memories
will touch your awareness before you sleep
carried on into your dream of togetherness
once awake it’s there for you to keep
I will speak with you before you sleep
touch your arms to be embraced
no feeling of aloneness , no need to weep
closeness remains, no ending or space
no letters to write or phone calls to make
dreams will bring you to my side
at the end of your day you may take
the memories in the winds that ride

Heartsong is how I call the beating of my heart.
Sound of feeling when I met you from the start.
Having you into my life highlighted a blissful art.
In my existence you have become the greatest part.
Heartsong is the jingle that I hear whenever you sing.
Your voice that I recognize in my heart is the one king.
In my life, you my dear Honey only mean everything.
The love and happiness our togetherness always bring.
Heartsong is the hum of silence without saying a word.
Now we have to face challenges that recently occurred
What we're going through is difficult but never absurd.
Let's keep our love forever and be free to fly like a bird.

My wife and I are “tight as a glove”
Our wonderful years together answer “WHAT IS LOVE”
Love is twinkles in your eyes
Love is learning to be wise
Love is togetherness, love is us
Love is learning not to fuss
Love is intimacy and joy
Love is learning not to annoy
Love is compromise and space
Love is cutting to the chase
Love is happiness and smiles
Love is walking extra miles
Love is kindness to others
Love is treating people as sisters and brothers
Love is patience and understanding
Love is not to be demanding
Love is all of these things and more
Your partnerships will reap benefits galore!

History has formed us into one braid
to stay strong and never surrender to any blade
standing side by side to be each others shade.
Why then do we classify one another into grades?
So that some cut others off just b’cos they are made?
There’s still hope, this togetherness will not fade
whatever it is, we have collectively paid
let’s stop hate from this unprecedented raid
so that unity will eventually get love laid.
We are Africans! Enough has been said.

Is not from binding flesh.
Yet, a love not measured.
Togetherness makes you my family.
We share,care,walk in an unconditional bond.
I have you wrapped tight in my heart.
Attached soul right from the start.
From beginning to our end.
You will remain more than a friend.
You are my sister.
