Excitement builds As you wait for the day To see your old friend On an arranged holiday
As the day draws near You become quite giddy You plan to meet each other In a faraway city
Questions cross your mind And you’re apprehensive You can only wonder If she’ll find you offensive
When the day finally comes A strange pit forms in your gut You know you must play it safe No matter what
Shaking in your boots You pray she still finds you attractive Considering your age You hope she’ll be adaptive
Stepping off the plane You see her slender form She smiles and waves at you From the small open door
More questions flood your mind About what she’ll think Will she still want you Or will this be a huge mistake
You clutch the flowers tighter A bouquet bought just for her She begins to run to you And all becomes a blur
Tears quickly emerge You’ve captured her awaiting heart Instantly you wonder How you ever made it apart
Clutching one another As if your life depends on this embrace You both feel emotions Which cannot be erased
Neither one of you Can hold back the steady stream of tears The warmth of her body Erases all your fears
Finally you know for certain She’s always been the one You eagerly kiss her lips And look forward to some fun
She reciprocates your affections And smiles in satisfaction Nothing can thwart This overwhelming attraction
It’s been many long years Yet somehow love remained You realize now Your love was not in vain

I haven’t felt much like writing lately, so I decided instead to share one of the poems from my book, Beneath the Canopy. I wrote my poem, Timeless Love, back in February 2016. This poem was inspired by an old article about a couple who had been separated during WWII. They lost all contact, she thought he’d died, and both married other people. Eventually, against all odds, a letter one of them had sent during the war finally got delivered. This letter caused them to reunite, and since both had already outlived their spouses, they were able to rekindle their romance from long ago. I was so touched by the story that I wrote my poem, Timeless Love. This poem is one of my personal favorites, and if you like this poem, please check out my book. It’s free to read if you have a Kindle unlimited membership.
Oh, how you love me, I can’t even count the ways. Your waves of love crash over me, sweeping me along for days.
Your love is like a torrential downpour in the inky blackness of the night, and I’m like a moth to a flame as you flood me with your light.
The way that you love me is like an ocean pounding against the shore, and as the years pass by, you leave me wanting you even more.
You pierce my heart with flaming arrows whenever you say my name, and I try to hold back my longing, but the cravings are insane.
Oh, the way you love me, I feel it deep down in my soul. And my heart is at your mercy whenever I start to lose control.
Your eyes perpetually sparkle with such naughty-natured bliss, especially when you lean in close, ready to steal another kiss.
Your love reminds me of an atomic fireball, blazing brilliantly across the sky, and most often, your amazingness, leaves me pausing in a contented sigh.
I just can’t seem to get enough of the way you make me feel. I love the way you love me; the intensity is real.
