Re: Begging your pardon

I beg pardon for bursting in upon your thread, 69. I started to read and was delighted ot find it. I am too a romantic at heart and am delighted to meet you and all who have come along You are truly a passionate leader of romantic souls

Dear heart you need not beg for anything, much less pardon from me. I put this thread up as a place for hopeless romantics to go and be together. I am delighted you came by. Do so often sweet lady.

 

[Arden]

Good Morning to all the romantics...

Dawn turned to dusk and they found each other. The sun went down leaving all of it's glory on their burned skin. He had fallen asleep and she... she went to the sea. She glances behind- tenderness swells deep within her. His image gets smaller and smaller- Soon his presence just a remembrance. She sees him in the distance-- he is as still as a starry night. Faintly his hand beckons her. She races towards him, grabs it greedily- aching for his soft caress. She wanted to love him. She wanted him to love her. She pulls him close to her chest and rests his head there, it's so peaceful, so safe. Time stood still. The urchins at sea blessed them with a loving night. Just one night. Then they wandered off...

Can You Feel It?
By: Denise Brackman

Can you feel the love I have for you,
can you see it in my eyes?
Did you know you make me happy,
beyond my wildest dreams?
Can you be with me and love me,
despite my many faults?
Did you know your all I'll ever need,
to make my life complete?
Can you see how happy you make me,
just to share your life with me?
Did you know as long as we're together,
I'll always be glad your there?
Can you feel it, can you see it,
can you hear it in my voice?
Do you know how much I love you,
and want you always in my life?

Interlude
By: Luster Lewis


Good night sweet love,
Well rest thee there,
On pillows soft,
Thy image fair.

Sleep well a while,
As I too rest,
While time and space
Doth our love test.

My Evening Calls
By: Sharon Flynn


When evening calls,
I call to the evening~~~

My heart is soft and warm,
ready for the touch of love.
I own the arms of time
reaching into the horizons
for the heart that matches mine.

I hear the whisper, the hum
of angel's wings stirring
the sweet, summer-set
of yesterdays, of tomorrows.
There is a white-misted fog
of shining love that follows me.
I hear it calling:
~~~in the evening,
~~~in the heart.

And so, I wait with hope
with a fullness
~~~of faith

Until the evening calls,
~~~and my heart calls back.

 

[Sir Locksley]

Hopelessly romantic

I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold
And the stars grow old.
~ by Willam Shakespeare ~

 

[PassionsFlame]

The world spun around me; pulled me so many ways
When out of the darkness, softly calling my name.
"Come to me, my love," and that gentle pull on my leash
"Look at me, beloved" He turned my eyes to his face.
Felt his hands touch my body and love reach to my soul
All-consuming passion filled me; his love made me whole.
His eyes held mine fast, never letting me stray
His bonds held me tight, never letting me sway.
I savored the security as my love held me down
I heard his hands gripping and tearing my gown.
Leaning back in his arms as his own held me tight
Crying out softly as he filled me with love’s light.
As the moment unfolded, his hands held my face
“Look at me love,” his voice whispered with grace.
I gave him my pleasure, my body, and my soul
And it the blinding rush I felt our forever unfold.
My soul runs to him blindly; the world falls away
Melding into his sweetness, my heart swept away.
I gave him my worries and I spilled out my fears
He said he would take them for years after years
I let it pour out into strong tender hands
Felt myself lighten and crave his commands
I whispered the words, as I knew my heart must,
“I am Yours...” I told him; “It is you I do trust.”
He laughed out his pleasure, spinning me ‘round
I was the happiest lady this earth ever found.

Toni and AA forever and always

Hi toni, I love the verse and the sentiment behind it.

AA is one lucky man. I wish nothing but the best for you and he.

An inspiration to those wandering in the dark.

*bows head in respect* PassionsFlame, that is exquisite. Absolutely phenominal. True romantic to the depths of your soul.

I like that in a person. Thank you my dear.

Shadows

Candlelight gives soft shadows
In the corners of our souls
Lying in wait, protecting our selves
From unknown dangers abound
Longing to share our light
Yet guarding it with our last breath
Until someone gently touches you deep
Searching with infinite care
And like the flower that blooms in spring
We shed our outer layers for them
And in our innermost hearts and souls
At last we find comfort and peace.

Well thank you. I feel I am a very lucky woman to have found him. I found my soulmate. Just wish that we weren't so far apart right now. But one day we will be together and then we will never be apart for any length of time. We have both made a commitment to do whatever is necessary to make the relationship work.

That is romantic to the core! Thank you for sharing that..I for one am in awe, in awe of how great love can be when two hearts and souls find one another. To both of you!

PassionsFlame you are so talented. I used to write poetry when I was younger but now I can't seem to clear my mind enough to allow the thoughts to flow to create something poetic. Your poems are so beautiful.

IT WILL!!!!!

From someone who went through it,Toni,
I know it can be hard,
so hard,
but you and I both know the reward
will be so worth it!!!
I know you are like me
a little over a year ago
part of you is missing.
Also,echoing 69,
AAis a very lucky lucky man!!!
When you feel alone, just look at the spaces between your fingers, remember that in those spaces you can see AA'S fingers locked with yours forever."

That is the beauty of the passion and fury of the romantic, to do whatever is necessary to make it happen. I'll do that in a heartbeat when I find my soulmate. No matter the cost.

The pleasure is mine toni, all mine. You two are truely an inspiration and good freinds as well.

A heartfelt thank you toni~ some I have written in the past, I have not written enough lately~ but words now flowing through my mind~ am glad to share

I was wondering when you were going to check in...Welcome my freind.

There are three great romances, stories unfolding, of deep love and commitment (don't start AA!!!) here, in my eyes.

You and Jenny. Soron and Arden. AA and toni.

All at different stages of the journey, but there. I'm happy for you. Don't be a stranger from the thread. ^5 and shake your hand.

Thanks Oman. I needed that! You are right part of me is missing but it is different from those times that I thought I was in love, I couldn't stand to be away from them and wondering what are they doing and who are they with. With AA I know that he loves me and I can trust him and we will be together just like you and Jenny. And that makes it bearable.

Dragons soared and passion swirled
Magic ruled the land
In fields of flowers we did roll
Laughing, loving, hearts aflame
Nothing but our connected souls

Something happened long ago
Wary, cautious, we grow old
As souls akin, I must ask
Why dear lord did it not last

A new beginning, another chance
For passions fire to take a dance
Wary, cautious you may be
But in your heart you see
The love that was meant to be

Hearts aflame, I know it so
Take a chance and let it go
You are with me deep in my soul
Take a chance and walk with me
Together we will always be.
