Surrounded by majestic mountains
Newly shrouded in night
Their silhouettes barely visible
Beneath a crescent moon

twenty six letters
instruments
funny shapes and angles
made into words
telling me things
I love to hear

You touched me

And I will never be the same.

Like coral

Like coral grips the rock,
I hold fast to you

First Love

Do you remember
the very first time
you fell in love?
Staying awake
long past bedtime
on a school night

And the butterflies
you felt firing up
in your stomach
every time you
saw her eyes?

I Wonder If

I still feel..
your lips on mine
as I held you close
and your hair did shine
under a million stars
when everything seemed to align.

I wonder if..
you think about me too
when you lie in bed at night
under a million different stars
knowing my heart still belongs to you.

The Length of a Moment, Contemplated

On this island far from the noise today
We walk, weaving our hands along the way
Wondering about the length of this moment
And from where it came, like time folded
Upon itself, connecting an ancient dot
To the impressionist portrait drawn
From our transit across the river
To this island far from the noise today.

Perhaps

Perhaps you were the one
But I knew it not at the time
Perhaps you were my rising sun
But I never took the signs

Pretty Everlasting

She loves me.

Bellis Perennis

She loves me not.

Day’s Eye

She loves me.

Mary’s Rose

She loves me,

Stop.

My Valentine

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem.
.

(Ceramic piece painted by Miriam Hurdle)

It was serendipity that we met.

Summer had not stated yet, but

It was the final week of school.

I decided to go to

This group met at home.

We chatted, we snacked.

You asked what I did for fun,

I smiled, didn’t answer the question.

A Valentine’s Day Smitten Limerick

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem.

.

I’ve been smitten; there’s no way I’d mistake it
And I don’t know how you will take it.

One Heart

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem.

ONE HEART
By R. Saint Claire

Loving center and corporeal home,
A fused join at two chambers meeting,
Sacred symbol of the love I own,
And emblem of my life’s completing.

Magic

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem.

.

It is something in which I would like to believe,
Despite being the fine art of how to deceive.
The incantations say “Love Is Grand,”
But hearts can be broken by sleight of hand.

Love Sonnet

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem.

LOVE SONNET
by R. Saint Claire

Bright twinkle of stars and warmth of the sun,
Flotillas of clouds in Heaven’s fresh air,
Dark battles through which the brave hero becomes,
To all things amazed, my lover compares.
 

Her

I look at her as she dreams her mind away,
like she always does.
And I cannot find the words I want to say,
every one of my thoughts seems to have run away.

She smiles quietly and holds my hand,
and stars in far away galaxies would jubilantly dance.
My heart pumps more blood to my mind that does not understand,
how can a simple girl own my world with a single glance?

Cold, Cold Heart

I had been
out in the cold
too long
when she called me in.
My extremities
we’re completely
numb.

Present Pauses

.

Sweet and Splendid is the Vision of You, Love.
My heart knows no other,
But Truth will Speak in mortal tones
And Lapse in silence upon the Morrow.

Press

.

Press your Whispers

Into the softness they find

Delicate Splendour

Intractably kind

On One Knee

You look at me,
with eyes full of light
Like a hundred windows to your soul
opening so bright.

You smile, and I,
struck with such unparalleled beauty,
cannot but smile at your pretty face
as the sun behind us fades.

To Me

I hope you know.. that to me,

You were the blossoming flowers of spring,
You were the precious diamonds shining on an engagement ring,
You were the source of light to my everything.

Exquisite

.

Exquisite Touch

On Honey toned skin

Blush of Intrepidity

Bare

Whispers

In the Eloquent Hush

Of the Paralyzing,

Unquestioning,

Delirious Rush,

Inexpressible

.

There is no Fair Expression my Love can take,

Which would adequately Reveal

The Depths of my Love for You;

With Bated Breath – Sonnet II

.

With Love my Heart does Blazing Burn,
With Rapturous Sighing, Sweet and Free;

Unfettered Bonds

.

Chance of Time,
Irreverent,
Hanging Betwixt the Muddled Scathing of my Thoughts
And All the Wondrous Splendour that is You,

To My Love

The moment I saw you, was the moment the butterflies in my stomach flew
The moment I saw you, I met the reality of a dream I once drew
The moment I saw you, I saw my reality anew

Your presence makes my heart leap in disbelief
My puzzle pieces have finally found their matching piece

Pleasure

Pleasure

Sings a Mute and Breathless Song

In the Presence of You, My Love;

When You lay down with me,

Broken Story

 

This story is not about you.
Or the way you make me feel.
This is not about your deceptions
Or your feelings that were never real.
