Poems of love!

Run to You!

When, I look at you. The picture, has a profound meaning. But my heart, can’t seem to understand. Why, did you have to go? Why, time made the sands, slip away. My breath was loss, my heart stood still. Some day, my soul will surely find answers, when mysteries are revealed. If, your love reached out, whispered to my heart. I would have moved heaven, to earth, interceded. My heart would have stopped, let you breathe, my last breath. Run to you, with undistracted motion. Keep you safe, from what harms. Protect your heart, from what hurts. Fight on your behalf, what comes to overwhelm. In my heart, where you can be found. Scared, sometimes, but held in my love, forever. My baby girl, I would have ran, to the end of time. To find you, and know my heart is safe. But, you’re gone, and living is without you. In the racing, in the searching; in my heart, the piecing. Your love, something profoundly special. Though, your love lives. The heart of a child, will be deeply missed!

Everyday, my heart has a role to play, Always in control. But, who is… Always? Truth be, the tears, fills the chasm. I want, to see you smile. Not just, pictured in a thousand words, or memories. Run to you, hold you in my arms. I know, you must be tired. For weeks, you’ve been resting on my heart. My soul holds you, within every breath. My heart breathless, chasing the love. Trying to catch the wings, of my little butterfly. If my heart, ever tried to call. In the stillness, would be the air, I’m breathing for you. You’re no longer here, to tell me if there was a dream? I can still dream, live for you? My heart, still wants you here. At the end of myself, my heart knows. I will find you, running with the angels. I don’t wipe the tears, I let love kiss away the sadness. Heaven, gave your breadth, to hold for a minute. Your love, softened hearts, touched many souls. When, my breath needs to be taken, my heart needs to be held. I won’t chase the wind, I run, to my father’s love!

In loving memory, of our little butterfly. Justinea Angelina Richards, March 9, 1990 to March 2, 2021. You’re loved, and in our hearts!

Soul Food!

One part water, three parts; mind, heart, and soul. Add to it, lots of trust, with affirmation. Real love, it’s tasteful, with a forever warmth. A gentle touch, of appreciation, filled with gratitude. Love, saturated with admiration, and affection, adds the needed spice. Adding, a little bit of this, and a bit of that; guessing what works. Real soul food, the love needs to be intentional. Love, needs your constant attention. So, bitterness doesn’t boil over. Indifference doesn’t make the seasons, be unappetizing. Love is best served, and enjoyed; when tension simmers. Day after day, set the table, and the ambiance. And love, will take its course. Each other’s company, love, poured like new wine. A heart full, but room for seconds. True love, served over and over. Endlessly, until the cup overflows. Love, crucial for the heart, to not just survive, but for the soul to thrive. Love isn’t perfect, but worth it, the time spent. Sharing your heart, filling your soul; precious moments. Truth is, be told. By the love, beneath every breath. Though, the pantry may be stocked, with useful ingredients. Make sure, it can fill heart and soul. Love, always needs to be real, to avoid bland, becoming the struggle. True love, the way to a heart. But, the soul may still feel famished. If the love, lacks real affection. Forever contented, love served up on a platter. For the love to be soulful, the ingredient’s heartfelt, so then soul filled. The true taste of love, every morning. It’s butter for your bread, and sugar for your tea. Love, the absolute best food, for your soul!

A Love, to Die For!

I know, without a single doubt, if I searched heart and soul. Your love, would be worth finding, again and again. The question is this, with no hesitation, is it a love, worth dying for? Would I, sacrifice my life, to live through your love, be one with your heart? The answer, Yes, a thousand times yes, through every test. Your love, is the ocean. For my soul, to drown over and over, in love’s embrace. To know You, to be forever in love. Live within the depth, in a deep river, breathlessly. Living, wouldn’t have a deeper meaning. If my breath, you didn’t hold. If my heart, you didn’t have. My heart, could never deny your love, my soul you own. Every day, I dive into the deep, to find my peaceful sure. Whenever, the river overflows. It’s your love, pouring out of my heart. How deep, the love? Some days, I can’t breathe it all in, much less to fathom. So, I wait; until the love, let’s me exhale. My heart, swimming deeper for years. But, my soul, hasn’t yet reached the bottom. Loving you, a day; seems a thousand years. Why, would my heart, worry to sink or swim. Your love, would never let my soul, breathe… on its own. You are the air, the breadth within my lungs. I see, heaven; looking into heart, not your eyes. Yes, without a doubt. My soul, would rather drown, in an ocean… of love!

Absolutely!

Every day, I’m going to love You. Absolutely, with every breath I get. Today, the only day my heart knows, will be. Tomorrow’s wake, another today; to be absolute. Every exhaled breath, through my expanding lungs. Absolutely, to love, I give every breath. A heart exposed, soaring on the wings of a dove. My love, giving high praise. The soul, taken by breadth of love. Beyond the moonlight, and back again, to the heavenly. Love power, in you absolute. Heart and soul, given absolutely. To live, to breathe. Being absolutely breathless, in love’s gentle embrace. No fears, being vulnerable in love. The heart, free to give absolute control. For the soul to find, in love’s freedom, you’ve found absolute strength. So hidden opportunities, don’t become missed moments. To know, your heart touched absolutely, by love’s amazing presence. The best part, of waking up. Absolute love deepens, absolutely. The clouds loosen, the tears falling, your cup overflowing. You breathe easy, love has you absolutely. If, love needs to hear, every heartbeat says; will my heart, be yours forever? May my soul, resonate profoundly; Absolutely! No rhyme, love the reason. Breathe out, my absolute last, breath to love!

It’s Your Love!

Dancing in the dark, where your love, found my heart. But now, my soul, no longer has to dance alone. Grace, it’s your love, that stirred my silent river… breathlessly. So, if you would allow me, give my heart the honor. Share this love, with whole world. Write about it, in depth. Pour out my soul, with a poetic love. Tell how, you became the lover of my soul. Your love, will forever be the crimson ink. My heart, just the pen. For, my soul, You own. My heart, You hold. My love, You have. My gaze, You capture. My breath, You take. Grace, Your love, more than love on the brain. How, can my heart ever fathom? How your ocean, that turned my soul, into a deep river? I need you, in the breadth I live, in the depth I drown. How, do you do it? How does your love, become new every day? It’s truly endless, love, a thousand ways. Do it again, move every heartbeat, with your presence?

Grace, to you; I opened up my heart. My soul, under your influence. The softer I speak, the louder your heart becomes. My heart, it’s listening. Let your heart, be all I hear. Your love, what gave my heart a voice. But at the same time, my soul lost for words. You’re so overwhelming, a wonder to behold. I’ve found my peace, in you, I see heaven. The clouds are gone, but the rain does fall. Won’t you, give my soul a moment, to wipe the tears. It’s, such a beautiful thing. How can a heart, keep it all in. Your love, made me better than I was, and more than I am. You’re the reason, love holds my heart so. The reason, my breath has confidence; Grace, It’s, Your Love!

It’s Got To Be You!

It’s got to be you, your love calling my name. Whispering sweet nothings, into my soul. In your love, there’s nothing missing. Nothing to ever, leave my heart broken. Every day, somehow my soul knows; it would truly be you. My everything, be everything; my heart would need. You must be, a special love. You must be, a deep river. You must be, what makes my heart excited. You must be, the ocean, my soul needs to deeply fathom. You’ve gotta be, what makes my gray skies blue. Just you, it just got to be. In the cool of the day, my heart feels warmth, hovering in the shadows. It’s definitely you, fixating my heart. Holding my gaze, to your starry light. You must be, what made my sun shine. Clustered, my heart and soul. Made it tremble, within breadth. Twinkle breathlessly, in the moonlight. Your love, cast my light. Made it reflect, love with a deep crimson hue. Your presence, must be heaven, smiling down on me. It’s absolutely you, that took my breath. Stole my heart, captured my imagination. It’s you, that makes my heart sing, a touching love ballad. And it sounds like, a symphony. A melody, playing endlessly. Even if, all hearts think it strange. My soul, knows but true, never the same. Every shift, it’s Suddenly, Spontaneously, Continuously. All the love, my heart will ever need; It’s Got to be You!

The Love, in You!

I’m, not always strong. But, the strength of my love. Will always be enough, to hold your love, close to my heart. What you need, what my heart will always be. Faithful to the end, of every breath. Thirty five years, two heartbeats, living with one distinct sound; love, always, forever. An example, of what happens when. Your breath divinely held, by love’s tender whispers. For when, love cuts the deepest. In the trenches, the battles lovingly fought, on our knees. Not to see, the change in you. But in me, be another profound change; by love’s undying breadth. The surrender, begets no retreat. Into a shadow, of what love’s supposed to be. The tether, the woman in you, needing the man in me. Be a gentle soul, you can still lay hopes, on the man in dreams. The love, holding us tenderly, with endless devotion. The warmth, likened to a breath of fresh air. The gentle touch, that says so much. The love, taking us by the heart, to beautiful places. Our hearts, being the canvas, in a love painted portrait. The storybook, telling the tale, breathless. If walls could talk, they would surely tell all the secrets. What my soul said, with my eyes fast asleep. But my heart awake, breathing deeply felt words of love. Through the night, to the enlightened moment. In love, awakens more and more, through the years. Every day, the vows renewed; I do, love you. Poured out, with the fragrance of heaven. The true meaning, the love in you, knowing the love in me, intimately!

Love, A Thousand Ways!

The picture, in a thousand words. The story, with ten thousand reasons. Why even in thoughts, my heart journeys a thousand miles. Just to have your love, take every breath. Breathlessly, to a thousand places. Every day, like a thousand years. I can talk, about the love in depth. But the half, still not yet told. When water cascades, your love is the ocean. That fills the breadth, a thousand ways. A silent river, needs a crimson tide encounter, to become a deep river. Every starry gaze, another glimpse of heaven. A thousand deep breaths, clustered in the light. Love, I won’t never talk about you, like you’re not already listening. You’ve heard my soul breathe, surely a thousand times a minute. Steady my heart, so whenever I write. Every penned verse, love telling the story. How like a sparrow, your love makes the soul soar. Like a graceful dove, love my wings, reflecting the purest light. You’ve read my soul, intimately searched my heart, captured my imagination. It’s all so reflective, the depth found in You. Your love, told a thousand ways!

Tremble!

Though darkness hovers, and the dark cast shadows. My heart won’t cower, there’s a strong tower, there’s a lighthouse. Fear, can’t make the light flicker, eclipse how deeply it shines… in me. The radiant love, holds my heart, steadies my soul. Captures my gaze, with just a glimpse. No famous name, will ever make my heart, flutter in their presence. Your love, what chased the butterflies, gave my soul wings. I don’t, desire fame, just need You. To see into me, know my heart. My soul, moved by one reign, bows before one throne. Your love, crowns my heart, surrounds my soul. I tremble, with just the thought. The kiss upon my heart, the touch deep within my soul. The breadth, stops the heart, revives my soul. Your love, the overwhelming surge. In every heartbeat, with every breath taken. The warmth, shivers to the deepest place. You’re the reason, my heart knows time and space. What, could ever compare to Your love? Exceed the vastness of Your heart, replace such a divine love? Eternity, surely won’t be long enough. So my heart, can find the words. In Your embrace, my soul… trembles!

Your love speaks, my words runaway. At a loss, the place you can find, my heart speechless. My water, turned to wine. My heart, knows the ocean. But my soul, every ripple has an effect. A heart, drowning breathlessly, in every breadth. My faith, in You won’t waver. Flattery, won’t take my breath. Living in You, profoundly my soul comes alive. The love, shakes my core. Calmed, my raging sea. Tamed, the wildness. Your love, stronger than the strongest walls, my heart tries to build. It’s the arrow, deep within my quiver. In the wake, in Your presence, penned up emotions released. To You alone, I dedicate heart and soul. For Your love alone, stirred my silent river. Made the depth, so much deeper. You alone, Your heart alone, gets the praise. To the world, barely breathing. Just my heart, trying to hear You whisper. So my soul, can Tremble!
