Poems of love!

Holding, On to Memories!

Every breath, cascading through the sands of time. Every heartbeat, moving within a graceful rhythm. Why grasp at straws, when love held dear, will always be. For the hands of time, can’t counter feeling, encountered with every moment. I hold on to endearing, breathe though my breath taken. My soul speaks, through love’s holistic tether. My heart sings, with breathless words. I grip reality, clench fist at heartache. Will carry the memories, they will never be a burden. I will cleave to love, and let the tears fall. They won’t break, my heart’s not made of glass. I cling to the cross, for life, beyond the moon and stars. Capturing, not about maintaining the memories, but the heart living, in the love retained. Kept, not the name’s sake, but what the love takes, you to a moment in time. From the cradle, to the grave, squeeze the love tight. With all your might, hold it forever. It will sustain, the love that remains, unchanged. Though, love bears the weight, profoundly know the breadth, even in death. The memories remaining, will stand the test of time, in life after breath. All at once, the realization; the smile, the laughter, the love, the embrace, just memories. A dove ascends, to the heavens, on the wings of our love. What remains, love living in the essence, in the shape of a heart!

Where has the year gone, a day that seems like yesterday. A little dove, with the heart of an angel, ascended to the heavens. A daughter, a sister, a friend, forever held in our memories, and in our hearts! In loving memory of my daughter, Justinea Angelina Richards. March 9, 1990, to March 2, 2021.

Her Strength!

Every day, her heart rises, to the challenge. The personification, the representation, her quintessence. Life shapes, her love becomes. Deepened, heightened, enlightened, emboldened; profound. A woman’s worth, because you’re you. Her love, endearing, her heart, enduring, her soul, unfolding. Her story, compelling, her existence, prevailing. Doing it all, giving her all; her affection, revealing her deepest desire. Her passion, to show you her heart. Her intimacy, into you to see. Her devotion, unyielding, her humanity, love a thousand ways. What weighs on her, not love on the brain, the love on her heart. Her friendship be received, her kindness be accepted, her tenderness be felt. Her warmth exposed, her amour respected; love unconditional. Her essence, the inner beauty. Her poetry, love in motion. Her muse, self in diverse means. Her contemplation, accomplishments with hopes and dreams. Her clarity, the untainted perspective. Her resolve, powerful. Her purpose, consequential. Her initiative, pivotal. Her being, to be reckoned. For her Strength, her characteristics, undeniable!

Oceans!

Oceans!

The world, knows the Atlantic. So, my heart will be specific, this is deeper. A heart in deep places, finds the middle of the ocean. In the silent, within the stillness, oceans rise. In the madness, within the chaos. My faith, will surely rise, above the waves. Wading through the waters, bottled up tears, released within a misty soul. My silent river, flows deep, through a beautiful stream of love. The deepest love, won’t let tears, become, a lazy river. My heart, will faithfully swim, the ocean breathlessly. Every day, sail on, dance with the rhythm of the wind. My soul, never more deeply loved. Than drowning somewhere, lost in an ocean of love. Oceans deep, the presence captures, the splendor captivates, the breadth takes. In the deep, every breath swept away, to be with the crimson tide. The ocean, surrounds my soul, submerges my heart. To calm my doubts, soothe my fears, change my identity. A heart in too deep, you call a breathless love. Seas are divided geographically, but the depth within an ocean, fathomed breathtakingly. You See, love is about a coming together. An ocean of love, not restricted, by futile barriers. Every breath, taken a thousand times. But then you ask, do it again. This love, and my heart, never oceans apart. For, my heart is a river, the love within the ocean. How can a heart, keep the water at bay; when your soul, keeps pouring? The river, will never again be silenced. In the middle of the ocean, love flows out a deep river. Depth of soul, deep love in quantity, filling with immensity. When oceans rise, the tide doesn’t change. Yet the water can’t help but overwhelm, heart and soul! Feb 4, 2022
