Celebrating Our Love: Embracing Romance

Yes to a Dance

The pace and the flood of distraction
Creates drift that skirts disconnection
Until there is no satisfaction
And loving is far from perfection

Just then comes a note from Romance
Saying this is worth taking the chance
Daring to ask, just perchance
If they’d say yes to a dance.

By Your Side

I’m the tide to your shore
And the shore to your tide
Come what may
I’ll be by your side.

Cheryl has gotten more elaborate at times.  One Valentine’s Day she created a bouquet with cut out red hearts and paper doilies.  Each of the hearts had a poem.  One read:

Being near you
Just us two
I love best
Moments of rest
Spent in folds of cotton and silk
Eating cookies and milk
Watching the moon, the stars, the fire’s glow
Dancing a tune, talking low
Laughing soft, being with you
Just us two

We have also enjoyed using the Magnetic Poetry Kit (Original version) to create poems out of refrigerator magnets.  One of Cheryl’s has stayed there forever because we love it:

I whisper
In your ear
I adore you
a star glistens
flame flickers
we two snuggle more
make a good full life

You can do this!  It’s not meant to be critiqued.  It’s only meant to express your love and caring to your sweetheart.   

Stay sappy and stay happy, dear readers.

The Moon Is Ours Tonight

The moon is ours tonight
There’s no one else in sight
A golden beam forms a seam
Of wonder and delight

Big and fully round
Rising from the ground
Helping us to celebrate
The sweet love we’ve found

Solid now for years
Through good times and tears
Hand in hand together
Sharing life as dears

Finding over time
Hills are more a climb
Bodies getting creaky, but
Our love is in its prime

Tender, sweet and strong
Guiding us along
Making it completely clear
We’re where we both belong

This moon is not to miss
It’s bathing us in bliss
Just for us it smiles down
Witnessing our kiss
