Leave a comment Somewhere we connected
Subconsciously in part,
Enjoying time together
More than the time apart.
I’m not sure how it happened
All I really know,
Is the time before I met you
Now seems so long ago.
I now want to be with you
As often as I can,
To share my thoughts and feelings
Experiences, plans.
It’s easy being with you,
It’s time that I adore
You’ve added something special
Made life better than before.

Without You
Filed under: Love | Tags: Love, missing you, poetry, Reflections, relationships
Leave a comment I miss your kiss, your scent, your touch
And wonder how I feel this much
For you in such a short timeframe
My life will never be the same
Without you
I long to hold you through the night
Being with you feels so right
I miss you more than I can say
Don’t want to be another day
Without you
Whatever that means

Leave a comment How do you define it, in feelings, thoughts or deeds?
Will you recognise it when the early seeds
Are planted, and your world begins to change
This powerful disorder that can leave you feeling strange
Incongruent emotions, your mind a tangled mess
And patterns of behaviour range from reserved to excess
A rush of pure adrenaline, a stab of searing pain
It will take you to the heavens, crash you back to earth again
And yet you seem conditioned to seek the force unseen
To hear the words “I love you,” whatever it is that means.

Author’s notes
Love – unfathomable, indefinable, incongruent?
This poem is a tongue in cheek commentary about love, after hearing the words “I love you…whatever that means.”
Let’s
Let’s not look at our past with anger and regret
Because you and I shared something incredibly special
Let’s acknowledge our mistakes and accept our challenges
We can learn from them and become stronger together as a consequence
Let’s appreciate we are different people from when we met
Stronger for our time together and wiser for our time apart
Let’s use this deep understanding of each other
To sort out our differences and connect more fully than ever
Let’s stop playing games with each other’s feelings
Our relationship was originally based on truth
Let’s just take this relationship and make it work
Through communication, honesty, trust and love
