Ecstasy

Ecstasy

There was a time

When I was depressed

Life had no point

And love was all but hopeless.

I spoke to someone

Who had knowledge

Of the broken promises

That lovers make.

We connected and made a pact

That coffee is a healing force

Cappachino and black coffee

Heals hurt and loneliness.

Understanding and compassion needs one another

For without it we are totally alone

People connect in the most difficult times

To soothe and caress feelings of insecurity.

We are human beings with feelings

Love is our connection

Lovers find comfort in trust

And parents find unconditional love in offspring.

We need someone to care for

And someone to care in return

For without it

We are lost in a vacuum of insincerity.

I need someone to care

I need someone to love

I need someone to care for me

And I need someone to love me.

This is how I want to live

Material values are luxurys

To provide a fleeting extasy

of good sense.

But love if true provides

A lifetime of feelings

Butterflies and heartburn

Make eye contact God's mirror into the soul.

Permission

Permission

There was a special place

Where lovers met

This place was special

As scenes were set.

We have no quarrel

As past and present meet

Future dues have no meaning

In the light of day we see.

There is a rainbow

Over an overcast sea

Its colours show the myriad hues

Of a lifetime of keys.

The suspension of squabbles

Is the resolution

And mixture of thoughts

Is a lifetime to happiness.

Misery has no place

Pleasure and delight

Should replace

Couples in love can find that place.

Together we can

Build a new beginning

For without the reference

Love is worth the struggle.

Many have given up

To a lifetime of struggle

But to see the bright future

Takes vision and forgiveness.

Do not give up

What the future can hold

Because nobody

Can foresee the growth.

The future hold many bright days

The past is a distant memory

Lets work to happiness

Together.

I love you like you cannot believe

It is impossible to quantify

Like an evergreen

Water and nourishment is all it needs.

Please do not let this perish

For we have a chance

To live together as one

And be young again

Romance never dies

It just develops over age

Into something more meaningful

And bonded everlastingly.

So lets try again

And be distinctive

In our love that’s true

We will not follow the mold

We can make our mark

And leave our mark

In the world with so many inconsistencies.

We are special

The Special Kiss

The Special Kiss

Special kisses are for lovers

A peck on the cheek for friends and relatives

A kiss on the forehead between father and daughter

A kiss on the back of the hand a desire for lovers.

We stand on the threshold of awful pain

When lovers kiss on the forehead

And friends kiss on the lips

Causes feeling unseen pain.

Everyone needs a kiss

From a lover on lips

Reserved for feeling special

A desire for an intimate kiss.

I do not have this privilege

As I do not have special lips

And someone to cuddle and hold

And share the intimate privilege.

The Precious Bond

The Precious Bond

There goes a saying

That nothing is as precious

As the bond between parent and child

This saying is true.

Another saying goes

Children will be independent

This is also true

But the dependence and bond is never lost

Precious ties abound

Where there is love abundance

So although you may heave and sigh

Loving relationships thrive.

There is nothing more secure

Than the knowledge that a parent

Loves you for who you are

With neither malice nor dissemble.

So love somebody with all your valour

And do not forget to tell them every day.

Picture in paradise

Picture in Paradise

The rising moon cast its light on the sea

As soon as it cleared the offing

The shimmering water

The glistening and flickering light

Broken only by the waves

Made me realize there is a great force.

I reached out for someone special

In vain she was too far away

The waves crashed on the shore

The children delighted and laughter echoed

The moon was rising fast now

Scattering of clouds made vague patterns.

I needed someone to hold

To watch this beautiful rising

As the moon continued on its journey

She wanted to leave this picturesque place

The moment shattered and left me bereft

For someone special was missing.

I need to love and be loved

Scenic delights and magnificent beauty

Must be shared to be enjoyed

 I need to find someone exclusive

To share extraordinary moments together

To have compassion in life itself.

The moon rises yet so far

And she is here unreachable

My arms are aching for her touch

She does not share these feelings

I will not give up hope

For hope is the last outpost of desperation.

Past

Past

Remember the past

For the spirit never forgets

Do not regret the past

But learn from the mistakes.

Remember the past

There are lessons to be learnt

The good ones are too easily forgotten

And the bad ones are too easily remembered.

Forget the past

Live with the memories

Say sorry with sincerity and emotion

Care about someone who counters.

Forget the past

Forgive the wicked

Forgetting is the problem

Forgiving is the answer.

Love somebody today

Let tomorrow be the dream.
