Twelve Days Of Loving You - (12) Spoken Heart - Love letter

Whispered words in the dark, 

Can seduce your mind's thoughts, 

From the point of their supposed meaning.

They can softly mist into your soul,

While leaving feelings of love and desire,

Deep inside your heart

But spoken words can easily be broken.

They can be purposely misleading,

To make you think someone is thankful and forgiving,

That's why I rather speak with my heart,

Because my heart is always authentic,

Even when things in our lives are blue,

My heart will always tell the truth

I wish there were a doorway to my heart,

So I could walk you to its opening,

And open the door, 

For your eyes to see,

Just how much your presence in my life, 

Truthfully mean to me

I wish I could show you the love I have for you,

The endearment that reaps from my heart center core,

The fondness I have for your laughter,

The lust I have for your gentle touch,

The adornment of your gentleness,

The desire for the fire that lingers quietly inside your soul,

A fire that only my eyes can see, 

My hands can touch, 

My heart can feel 

I could speak many thoughtful and loving words. 

Words that I would love to whisper into your ear,

But my voice cannot pronounce them,

Because my mind lacks their true meaning, 

So I speak with all of my heart,

A heart that beats in a quiet, continuous rapturous love 

Just for you

All you have to do is listen,

And your ears will hear,

Your mind will see,

Your heart will feel,

The meaning of my life,

That I share with you

Twelve Days Of Loving You - (!1) The weakness in me - Prose poem

From the day I was a man born, 

It was instilled into me to be a man strong:

Strong in mind,

Strong in the arms,

Strong-shouldered to carry life burdens,

Strong-willed to be all I could be in my lifetime

Then came you

A woman who made me see the light in the dark,

Darkness in the bright of the sun,

Feel the coolness in the hot summer breeze,

Feel the heat on the coldest of dark nights

You have become the woman who made me weak:

Weak in my mind thoughts,

Weak in my heart

You make me laugh when I don't want to,

You make me reflect on the good in my life while letting go of the bad,

You helped me learn patients when I no longer have none, 

You taught me to forget while forgiving those who trespass against me

You are genuinely the weakness in me,

A fault I call by name,

 Love

Twelve Days Of Loving You - (10) I Didn't -love poem

I did not ask to fall in love with you

I did try my best to keep my heart at bay

But being with you calmed the beast residing inside my soul

Kissing your lips, quiet the evil thoughts that ran rampage inside my mind

Talking to you always left me intrigued

Getting to know you led me to see a person with a pure heart  

And when you gave it all  to me without reservation

I fell utterly in love with you

Twelve Days Of Loving You - (9) Love Stance -Prose poem

 

My favorite position has no sexual intentions. 

No ties, no ropes, no blindfolds, just eternal love that's pure and true 

A position as simple as standing before you and watching the stare of your light brown eyes melt my heart 

While giving me the feeling nothing will keep us apart. 

A position of patients waiting for your smile that brightens up the room 

Your charm, your innocence, your grace, and all the mental part of you too 

Your laugh that's so genuine, the position of joy it brings to my heart. 

The sway in your hips that-make my heart skip a beat 

Holding you tight at night or keeping the memory of you in my mind 

The position of your heart that makes you so gentle and kind 

While the position of one's self is just right to smell the essence of you 

Our love stance can be in the position of a soft embrace as we watch the brightest of the sun give way to a full moon. 

Or the graceful embrace of passion that keeps our souls in a position of being fresh and new 

Might it be the positions of holding hands, lips embrace, or a gentle nudge of a nose against the flesh of a cheek

Whatever position we start in will always end in the position of love.

Twelve Days Of Loving You - (8) One love

True love is

AT the right moment,

The correct place,

For two people

To share

A simple glance

An attentive thought

A caring touch

An intimate embrace

The softness of a good night kiss

That's preceded by,

Giving

All the love and desire in your heart

The deepest thoughts inside your mind

The enigmas in the depths of your soul

Which brings two individuals together

To share all the eternal love inside their being.

That will unite them as one.

On every awakening day

For me - You are - My true love

Twelve Days Of Loving You - (7) Indisputable (absolute)

Your love

Completes me....

Twelve Days Of Loving You - (6) In the moment (Sensual moment )

 

Frozen in a none-moment of time

I lay peacefully on the living room floor

While waning life moments bore my mind

Half-close eyes do not watch the movement on the TV screen

Nor do none-inquiry ears hear the TV projecting sounds

In the narrow peripheral vision of my right eye

I watch your body gradually crawl up to mine

Then gingerly spoon deep into me

After my arms move across the softness of your bosom

Then slowly draw our bodies into one.

Dissipated was life's muted moment.

By your simple jester of love 

(One of my simple sensual thoughts of us)

Twelve Days Of Loving You - (5) Open Arms - Repetitive poem

 

Here I stand

Naked, with open arms

Open arms for all to see.

I have nothing to hide,

My arms are open wide for you,

To see all the love I have to give.

 

Here I stand

Naked, with open arms

Surrendering all my love

My will,

The essence of my being

All to you

 

Here I stand

Naked, with open arms

Surrendering all of me to you

For you to do with as you please.

 

Here I stand

Naked, with open arms

For you,

To have,

To embrace

 

Here I stand

Naked, with open arms

In plain sight.

Naked with nothing to hide,

Waiting for your loving touch,

To tenderly caress the naked flesh that wraps around me.

 

Here I stand

With open arms

To receive your soft kisses-

To caress my senses,

Your whispers of love-

To caress my mind.

Your love-

To caress the abyss of my soul.

The being of you-

To utilize the being of me.

 

Here I stand

Naked, with open arms,

Waiting for you to take me to complete -

the man I wish to be,

While making this one-man whole,

With your voluminous love

Here I stand

Naked, with open arms

Hoping you will see-

What your precious love means to me

 Here I stand,

Naked, with open arms

With all the love I have to give between them,

All you have to do is step into my arms waiting embrace.

And let my love envelop you,

Bringing closure to us.

Twelve Day Of Loving You - (4) Devotion ..... Clerihew Poem

Standing beside you in the warmth of the day

Knowing that you are always going to stay

Watching you breathe in the fresh summer air

Hoping that love this time is going to be fair

Because, before, my heart was in despair

Given to one who did not even care

Then came your love that was so big and true.

Making my heartbeat once again like new

Like a gift from heaven, you were bestowed.

Making my heartbeat forever steady and slow

You have given me a love as I have never had before

Finally, setting my restless soul free so that it can soar.

Twelve Days OF Loving You - (3) Faithfully yours Letter

While first light sun beams run head-on into the midnight sky

I sit in our bedroom in the darkness of a corner, my mind full of thoughts of you, and I

Thoughts of how did we get to this measure of life?

How did our love grow with all the woes that came with this life?

With all the misery that came with living with the death of friends and loved ones?

How did we get past the loneliness that dwells inside us as we lay together, with the despair of life in our hearts?

Despair that will conquer your soul to the point that you either live or die. 

Despair that only your faith in love can conquer.

My eyes look to the left and see the beauty of you peacefully sleeping

And I remember the time I wanted to walk out on you and not look back.

But as much as I disliked you at that point in my life, the love that still dwelled in my heart for you told me to stay and give it another try.

They say love conquers all. But that is a lie. Your faith in love conquers the pain, the demons, the miseries life bares down on you. Because without faith, love would be a forgotten word. Without faith, you would have a redundant hole in your heart to live with forever. 

As I sit here listening to the quietness while looking at the beautifulness’ of the seemingly endless changing sky, that is what I see and hear as my eyes watch you sleep in the darkness of the room.

I learned how to fall in love with you again with my faith in love. 

And that is why I sit here quietly tonight.

Watching you while being faithfully in love with you.

Twelve Days Of Loving You (2) Made To Love You - My Thought letter

I recalled when we first met a long time ago. One of my best friend's little sisters running around the house

Hiding like an undersized mouse every time I visited your brother. Little did I know meeting you would change my destiny.

One day the rumor that you were at my high school.

The little girl I used to see as her brother's little pest. Who was still short and maybe a little skinny? But I could not tell because you dressed like a grandma with your ankle-high dresses.

I did not see extensively of you in high school because my mind was on becoming a man.

Because high school for me was coming quickly to an end, and I had big decisions as a teenager who was looking forward to becoming a young man

After a major disappointment, I choose the Army to help me get ahead in this world of uncertainty. The war was on, but I felt I would survive with God on my side deep down inside my soul.

A twist of fate (GOD) sent me in another direction, and I missed the war entirely.

As I grew into a very young man, I made more effective plans for my future. After more than two and a half years, I saw you again when I came home on duty leave.

You were a cute and filled-out teenager, but the three years of age difference made you too young for my plans for the future.

After being released from the Army, I saw you again. We became friends, but I never thought of you more than one of my best friends' sisters. 

A year and a half passed. I saw you now and then, but I was busy with my life master plans that did not include you. But after a breakup, I became lost and lonely. I gave up on love and became someone who knew how to enjoy being with himself. But one day, I was convinced to give love another try. But it ended in a breakup that left my heart scorned by someone I had known my entire life. After that, love was differently not a priority for me. So I moved on with my life master plans, not knowing that the early heartaches had made me a better man for you. 

For unknown reasons, we seemed to bump into each other more often. Our talks became longer and more confidential. The rumor was you wanted me to ask you out. But you were still my best friend, little sister, and a good friend to be around and have engaging conversations But not the wife I had imagined in my life plans.

One day after visiting your brother at your house, I was leaving and saw you at the kitchen sink washing dishes. My eyes did not see my best friend's little sister anymore but a young lady with the frame and mindset of a young woman. But I still felt you were too young for my future planning.

As time idled by, the more I saw you, the more I let my guard down, and you slipped more into my life. And the more you fell into my life, I thought you were the kind of woman I could trust to not break my heart like the others. You were the type of woman I would be proud to be around. Proud to be seen hand in hand. A quiet yet strong will woman. A woman decisive in God's name. Soon I had feelings for you; I could not fight anymore.

After our first try-out date, I knew I would always be with you, especially if you could wait for me to grow into the man I wanted to become. Because being in the Army made me realize that age did not make a man. Life experience made men. And part of my life plan was to have someone by my side as I grew into a genuine adult. 

One day at home, out of the blue. I thought of you at the kitchen table, which enticed a big smile on my face. My mother saw it and asked me what I was thinking. Caught off guard, I just shook my head and said nothing. But I could tell by my mother's big smile she knew because she knew me better than anyone. And knowing mom, she had known long before I realized I had fallen in love with you.

  

Being married to you has been incredible. But like life itself, it had its up and downs. But we always found a way to drop sails to get through the strong winds and around the rough tides. Recently we had to let down the sails again. I have been moody and sad of late, but today my love of music came through for me again. A simple song made me realize why our marriage has lasted the test of time. And why will we make it past the strong winds and high tides again? Here are the song's simple words that say it better than I could. All but the part that did not say, "I love you, Linda Carol."

And I shall forever.

(Please push play)

[Chorus:]

I was made to love you

My hands to touch you

My arms to hold you

My legs to stand

My time to spend-

With you forever

I was made -

Made to love you.

My lips to kiss you

My eyes to see you

My legs to stand

My time to spend-

With you forever

My life together

I was made -

Made to love you.

It had to be my destiny.

I was made to love you.

Song-Made to love you
