A brief poem I wrote a while ago -

I have walked many lonely winter nights,
The darkness punctuated by the lamplight
And I've contemplated where I've been,
And what I've done and what I've seen
What bridges I've crossed and the ones I've burned
And how many times I've seen my fortunes turn
How much suffering and joy I've lived through
And how my greatest joy has been loving you.

I find my day is often much like the night:
I navigate in darkness with few spots of light
And often find that my bittersweet memories
Are all there is to comfort me
There is no one now to walk by my side
No one in whom I can confide
No one for whom I fight for to the last
And I am left to wonder if my best days have passed.
But still love endures and it grows
And like the lamplights it still glows
Like starlight, it's there for me to steer by.
But unlike the stars, it will never die.

So my love, call me a sentimental fool -
For it's not my head, but my heart that rules
And that heart only longs to say -
To the time of my ruin or my redeeming day
I will love you with all that I have to give
I will love you as long as I live.

Hey, everybody ! Happy Saturday! TGIS!!

[JustAmy]

O Jesus, You who once did say
To little children at their play,
"Come to Me, you will be blessed,"
So come to us and be our Guest.

Good afternoon, Mayor.

Thank you for helping us get started on the right foot every morning.

Have a beautiful weekend.

[JustAmy]

LOL .... Good afternoon, Argh.

Yep ..... I'm lucky that the NetNanny wasn't here earlier.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

[Argh]

Well, hello, Dolly!

Where have I heard that before??

I thought I vaguely heard something resembling the Indian Love Call going on. But as much as I'm sure I'd enjoy being Miss Dolly's demon lover, I think she should know that I've been eradicated from any lover lists, demon or otherwise, for the foreseeable (reply # 215). Unless Miss Dolly can turn herself into a powerful painkilling drug, in which case I'll love her just fine.

By the way, Miss Dolly, the last time I checked I was male. But that was some time ago...

[JustAmy]

LOL

Better get that arm pain taken care of, Argh.

Dolly may get tired of waiting. ;)

[JustAmy]

LOL .... Good evening, DollyCali. I meant to get back sooner but you know how that is.

I've called for Great Lover Help from Cupid. Hope it helps. :)

Hope you are having a beautiful weekend.

[JustAmy]

Excellent, MadIvan.

Thank you for sharing your romantic poem with us on Great Lovers Day.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[JustAmy]

Happy Saturday, Meekie.
Hope you are having a great weekend.

a portrait of life in the service of love

[Marguerite]

SO WHAT IS LOVE?

So what is love? If thou wouldst know
The human heart alone can tell:
Two minds with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.

And whence comes Love? Like morning bright
Love comes without thy call.
And how dies Love? A spirit bright,
Love never dies at all.


MARIA LOVELL (1803-77)

[Marguerite]

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Sonnet XLIII

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

[JustAmy]

Sigh ....... wonderful Great Lovers Poems. The Lady and the Tramp graphic is so sweet. :)

Thank you Marguerite.



Have a Happy Great Lovers Day.
Hope you are having a lovely Weekend.

Hi, Victoria. It has been a very sad week. :(

Great to see you; I've been checking the thread but have not felt like answering any pings until late last night.

Hope all is well with you.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Amy. Yeah, I haven't been up to much fun lately.

I hope next week is better.

Have a great evening.
