Moonbeams And Dreams 

 

Picture by Laurent Laveder

I would capture the moon for you, 

If, I knew your love was true,
I would stop the ocean tides
If, your love for me was bona fide,

I would capture the stars that shine
If, you would love me, be only mine!
 I would make heaven our home,
If, you would love me and me alone!
Angels on harps would play,
If, you promised not to stray,
We'd feast on the foods of gods
If, you would love me, give me the nod!
You will always be my faithful queen
In the land of my silly dreams!

Bubblegum Kisses

                             

BubbleGum Kisses 

Bubblegum Kisses,

are a passage of course

Just a natures way of showing its force !

A Shy, fumbling approach,

as adult feelings encroach

on your childhood,

unblemished  

A friendship about to change

Innocence is the exchange 

for confused emotions

all brand new

Bubblegum kisses,

are a passage of course

Just a natures way of showing its force!

Tho tread with care, 

Ensure true love is there ,

for that first kiss

Should be pure bliss !

Bubblegum kisses can be the sweetest,

Or a complete and utter misery,

Those first kisses are dependent , 

Upon a well executed delivery. 

The Journey Begins

Written for the wedding of Brandon Shepherd and Victoria Pym who were married on the 29th of April 2017

The Journey Begins 

Love vows and an exchange of rings, 

Married  life beckons and is about to begin, 

So look high up to the sky, see the stars bright 

Start of a new journey now and keep to the right 

Keep the flames burning not warm like embers 

Treasure the feeling now ! and take time to remember, 

Love needs nurturing, maintenance and care, 

Good Memories made frequently, made to share 

Not mammoth gestures given in jest 

Just thoughtfulness, feelings and love are the best !

A kiss in the morning a, hug at night, 

Honesty and trust will both see you right. 

So go forward, enjoy the two of you becoming one,

Marriage and loving is all about living life, and having fun !

No luck is needed on your journey ahead,

You're perfect together and so rightfully wed.

Love An Alien Concept

Love An Alien Concept !

It's the difference in us that makes us tick 

  Things just happen, like magic, a sudden click,

No enforced stereotypical ideology, 

No adhering to social or philosophical philosophy,

Just following our intuition,

Fighting Inbred humans inhibitions,

Let love go with the flow,

Allow it to breathe and grow

Blank out peoples Incredulity,

Celebrate love and Individuality

True Love is hard to find, a real scarcity

 So rejoice, celebrate, it's rarity!

Love Conquers all 

Boundaries and perceptions,

Love Is Love 

There are no exceptions !!!

Vintage Valentine 

I love you ,Oh so very much !

My body tingles with every touch,

When you look at me in that way, 

Time stops, ceases to exist at least for a day,

When you hold me so near in your arms, 

No man or beast would dare do me harm 

As we lie close, caressing one another, 

No goddess in heaven could want another lover,

Yet this is our heaven night after night, 

Our years together and it still feel so right! 

Our love is alive, it's still so much fun,

Never to be relinquished 

Not even for the moon, stars or sun,

My deepest wish is to remain with you, in this bed, 

Till we're very, very old or preferably dead!  

So when we finally reach those famous pearly gates 

You and I can start on over, right from our first date ! 

Let The Love Grow

Let The Love Grow 

As Man and Wife

You'll build the foundations of your love,

Each kissed placed

Should be your building bricks,  

Warm emotions will radiate, create 

Love of the unknown, 

A wealth of understanding to be nurtured

To be grown.

Your foundations will solidify through your years,  

The laughs, the smiles,

Sometimes the tears, 

Together you will merge, entwine,

Solo outside, but inside combined,

New Memories will be made 

filed,

To create your new joint history,

Your future together an intriguing mystery!

But love is organic 

It will flourish and grow, 

Love will regenerate, create even more,

The fresh roots of love will bind

In time,  

Emotions will reach fresh heights, intensify,

Mature !

You must cherish your foundations and roots ,

So your love remains fresh,

New growth will reveal new shoots 

So your two souls can combine to live ,

Forever,Together, 

Spring should remain constant in your hearts, 

Always new ground to uncover, 

New gifts to be found,

Discovered! 

Love is your gift ! 

My Daughter asked me to write something for her forthcoming marriage this is the amalgamation of several previous writings combined with my love and hopes for her and her future husband   

The Rendezvous

The Rendezvous 

Street art by Hyuro 

Floating on air, 

Cos you'll be waiting there ! 

Life gently moving along, 

To a sweet melody of heavenly birdsong 

Every aspect of my being 

Crisp, fresh, new, as the first time of seeing, 

 My senses alive, reborn , heighten to delight,  

 Birds in my minds eyes constantly soaring 

 Majestically in flight, 

 As my body and soul craves just for you, 

 I dreamily float towards our rendezvous

Accompanied by my sweet birdsong

 To where my heart knows it belongs,  

Getting close,

 Closer to,

 You.

Will I go ? 

Or do I stay ?

Did you love me ?

Why did you stray ?

Has our Love died ?

Have we tried ?

Will I go ?

Or do I stay ?

Do I love you ?

Has our love died ? 

A mortal decay? 

Will I go ?

Or will I stay ?

Will our love last ? 

For all our days ?

Will this love die ?

Will we try ?

I would not go, 

My heart still flows, 

My love is alive, 

We shall grow, 

Our love,

Will survive !

Cutting Words

Cutting Words 

Vladimir Kush

Together we'd once dance

Words would tease and prance, 

Sweet around your lips 

As we coiled and embraced, 

Touching and caressing with finger tips, 

Sweet honeyed words were spoken, 

Genuine, full of promises and emotion, 

Words composed from the heart, 

Of  a heaven together, our start !

Now we seem poles apart, 

Your words hurt, cut, 

Straight to the heart 

Chopping and dissecting, 

Our life, it's direction, 

Your vocal pen loaded with venom,

 The only words written now are for loves requiem!

Bandit of Love

Bandit of Love 

Street art by Aida Gomez
 Berlin Germany 

The bandit of love 

will stamp on your feelings, 

He'll make your heart feel crushed, 

leave your senses reeling, 

He 'll charm you 

and speak in a soft serenade,

Promise you forever 

before he runs and throws a grenade, 

Blowing your world apart, 

while crushing your heart, 

Feelings become tangled and mangled, 

You feel physically restrained, strangled, 

You need to douse the lust, 

Relearn, live solo, adjust, 

Kill the fire!

 Feelings, emotions

 need changed, rewired, 

For the bandit of love has wheeled his art, 

Stamping,crushing and breaking your heart !  

A Mothers Love

A Mothers Love 

I could never ever lose my way, 

On a damp,dark and dreary day, 

For my mothers always there with me 

In spirit, not solid or physically, 

She guides and mentors from above, 

Still caring and giving out her love, 

I see her in my minds eye, 

Hear her voice in my head, sweet as a lullaby, 

She rises high above the throng, 

Showing me the way so I don't go wrong, 

A mothers love never dies, 

It stays with you forever, grows and thrives, 

In your memory emblazoned for infinity, 

Your mother to you always your divinity!

Holiday Love x

Holiday Love x 

The turkeys wrapped, 

The presents roasted, 

Chimney is swept, 

To stop Santa getting toasted !

On the eve of celebrations, 

I write this ditty of felicitations,

To all the friends I have made,

Through various communications.

May your holidays be filled with love and joy ,

My wish for the world at peace never to be destroyed,

So as we wrap our gifts with dedication, 

Think of them as our globe, 

Treat them gently , wrap them for protection!

The gift of love is all I've wrapped for you 

In bright, shiny, smiles and big hugs too, 

Happy Holidays with love !

From me to you x

A Time To Love

A Time to Love 

Time it once had a meaning, 

The years had seasons, 

Day and night reigned and waned, 

Love was pure and unstained, 

Before the grains of truth and trust, 

Began to seep out, Began to rush, 

Seeping and lies creeping, 

Insidiously drowning love. 

  Our times have had  meaning 

Our love had its season 

The grains of our love 

Ceased flowing became corrupt 

It stopped!

Times up!

Loves finished! 

Abrupt!

Enduring Love

Enduring Love 

On the horizon where the land meets the sea ,

I see an angel beckon to you and me, 

But my heaven remains on earthly plains, 

I toast you my dear with natures champagne, 

Angels may beckon and call out my name 

Within me though burns a bright, bright flame, 

Burning bright and strong with love for you, 

Delving deep into your eyes of sapphire blue,

I see your memories of me are now diminished, 

But my love for you is never ending, enduring 

Never to be finished !

Natures Dance

Natures Dance 

Sky Reading by A Chance of Sunshine

MY oh My don't get upset, don't cry, 
Put your bad thoughts in the breeze,
Let them go, let them fly, 
Dance daintily with the leaves,
For when your feeling blue,
Nature will always be there for you

My oh My don't spill your tears, don't cry,
Put all your hurt in the wind,
Sing out loud, don't sigh,
Let the hurt go, let it fly,
For when he's been unkind
Nature is there for you!

My oh my, share your true love,
 Put your heart in his soul,
Dance and soar like a dove,
Let your feelings go, let two become whole,
  For when you've found the one,
Natures tricks have been done !

A Magical Mystery Tour

A Magical Mystery Tour 

A magical mirage lives inside my head 

A place serene,green a proper homestead,

A babbling brook saunters along. 

Running over rocks creating  it's song ,

The air oozes freshness and perfume 

from blossoms so sweet, 

Where song birds sing their melodies 

tweet tweet tweet

A magical mirage lives inside my head 

A house so perfect not fashion led, 

A picket fence surrounds the lawn, 

Where the sun rises at the crack of dawn 

Puppies leap and the chickens cluck, 

Butterflies flutter and run amock to the rap 

cluck cluck cluck.

A magical mirage lives inside my head 

A comforting ,soft, protective, huge bed, 

Velvets and silks adorn our room, 

Love and serenity the only things that loom

Where you and I lovingly embrace, 

Under a mystical moon as we lie face to face, 

Hearts together in sync beating, 

boom boom boom 

This magical mystery tour you have taken 

Is in my head don't be mistaken, 

For if there was a heaven on earth,

For me to live there, would be my rebirth,

And if this wish was ever granted, 

 This is what would be forever chanted 

I should be so lucky, 

lucky, lucky, lucky .

Regretfully Yours !

Regretfully Yours !

Dark, deep regret, 

Who does it beget? 

Just me and you 

We've found one another, 

Forsaken all others

Explore my history 

But no regrets 

Let them remain a mystery!

It pointless to rake over the past, 

Regrets are lessons that last

They've shape my being  

It's me your seeing 

so hell yeah !

Explore my history, 

But no regrets, 

Allow that mystery. 

Regrets no longer, 

For everything we do now, 

Together, cements us stronger, 

Truth now is our sacred cow 

so hell yeah! 

We'll share our mysteries 

No regrets 

We'll  rewrite our new history.
