Loving Every Minute of It

Our random walks
The smell of your shirt
Our pointless arguments
Our deep conversations
The great food you make
That lizard in your kitchen
Your awesome blue sweater
That house that looks like a rocking
horse
That Romeo and Juliet balcony
Bumping into you on accident
Wanting so badly to hold your hand
That tiny dog
Our equally amazing minds
Those sweet pants
Watching shows on your computer
Getting in trouble every time I
come home
Having it all be well worth it
Loving every minute of it

Autumn Waltz

1-2-3,1-2-3,Waltz of the fall.
Shorter the days, cool winds will call.
Seemingly subtle, not, whispers of
change.
Doing their dances to further the
range.
Whoosh! Go the skirts of the tired
leafed trees.
Waiting their chances to dance with
the breeze!
Waltzing and dancing! On to
another show.
Racing, spinning, chasing! Still
farther they blow!
Colors are lost quickly, one by one.
Till the very last dance,
Will they be done.
Breathless the view,
Till naked the tree.
Second to none,
An Autumn Waltz be.

L. S. Durante
The Breath of All

The breath of one
Is the breath of all

Rising,
Falling…

She,
the breath of my soul,
Is your breath, as well

Many cannot see this;
Those that can
May not wish to admit to it

But, knowing we are all One
Means she is you,
She is me

How can I not love her
When I am to love all?

The love that is spoken of,
The love that is
Is of the highest level

That love that makes you certain
God exists

That love that makes you feel
Complete

That love that lets you in on the
secret
That Eternal Love really does exist

And it is as easy as breathing out,
And breathing in

While you watch your stomach
rising,
And falling

For the breath of one
Is the breath of All

The Peach Tree

Last night I dreamt we stood naked
beneath a peach tree,
The tree gave us nourishment when we
needed to eat,
It kept us dry when the rains
threatened to soak us to the bone,
It gave us shade when the sun’s rays
were more than we could handle,
Its branches provided the love of a
mother’s arms and the security of a
fathers touch,
Its leaves gave us a gentle breeze to
keep us cool in the heat, and a rhythmic
sound to listen to,
And if we climbed to the top we could
see the majesty of all that stood before
us
To some the tree may have appeared
old, gnarled and weak
As though its many years were now
taking their toll,
To us the tree stood tall, strong and
proud
Unrelenting against the elements,
unrequited in its beauty,
For us the unselfish tree gave us
something different
Something that most would never come
to realize,
The tree gave us respect with its silent
stillness,
Allowing us to intertwine our souls by
looking deep into each others’ eyes,
Permitting us to consummate our love
without judgment
Accepting our being with a grace and
fortitude that is only allotted to one so
magnificent,
A presence that will live on long after we
have transitioned from this glorious
space,
An altruistic creature, always giving,
sharing and loving asking nothing in
return,
Teaching us how to just “be” present
for this and every moment,
And showing us that the most
important lessons of life are learned,
Without the utterance of sound
In the midst of Passion

My patiently waiting mind has been
awakened
It’s silence now broken
Messages channel through as if on a
runaway train
I close my eyes and connect to the
familiar strands of gold,
A certain peace and excitement
overcome every fiber of my being,
I am feeding my soul,
I am nurturing my soul,
I am healing my soul,
I can imagine my soul.
A Thousand Lifetimes
I have listened for a thousand
lifetimes,
Never hearing another’s words,
I have stood for a thousand
lifetimes,
Never in another’s shoes,
I have felt for a thousand lifetimes,
Never holding another’s hand,
I have wandered for a thousand
lifetimes,
Never following another’s path,
I have watched for a thousand
lifetimes,
Never seeing another’s soul,
I have waited for a thousand
lifetimes,
To hear your words,
To stand by your side,
To hold your hand,
To walk on our path,
To look into your eyes,
To see our souls,
Together at last for a thousand
lifetimes.
Gratitude©

Standing here, eyes wide open,
Seeing the genuine beauty that surrounds life,
Allowing walls that were once seen as protection,
to crumble,
Releasing pain and anguish that has tried to win
every battle,
Recognizing truth for the first time,
Accepting me for me, and never judging,
Forgiving all that came before,
Anticipating the next time we will meet, touch, talk
and laugh,
Feeling strength, warmth and gentleness of hands
as they return precious life energy to the body,
Relinquishing control in unbridled passion,
Thanking Goddess for once again bringing creation
into reality,
No longer frightened of what may or may not be
Embracing the time that is available now,
Understanding that the pieces of a soul are finally
coming together to heal,  
I am free, I am peaceful, I am loved, I am whole.

Why
Each night I sit upon your lap,
naked and open to you, for you,
with you
Our hearts beat concurrently
offering us the rhythm for this
dance
Breathing patterns merge, chakras
align, energy blends, our souls
intertwine and heal
We close our eyes and allow the
expansion of this love to surround
us
Embrace us, honor us, and welcome
us home
For in that time you love me like no
other
With the depth of a million oceans
And the vastness of the Universe
I see and feel what is in your heart
A place where there is no
renunciation, judgment, or fear,
Only compassion, trust, faith
And a love so pure and so true that
it can only be a gift from Creator
So tell me, my spirit bear, why? Can
you not speak what lies deep within
your soul?
Something that remains hidden
from the world
Do denial and trepidation hold
hands with you on this plane?
You walk this Earth with the
courage and strength of a warrior
Why does this love cause such
apprehension?
Do you judge me for something I
have not done?
Your ego and your pride work
together wishing for her return,
wanting and praying for her return
The other, the One, the soul mate,
your angel, your Twin Flame
Yet the wounds she inflicted remain
open and raw
Do you not deserve a chance to
heal? Or kindness, caring, and love
that knows no bounds?
Perhaps someday you will be
present with all that is and stop
waiting for all that was
Accepting this rare and precious gift
we have been graced with
and acknowledging what my soul
already knows.
Someone Once Told Me
Someone once told me what love truly is

If I recall correctly, it was a woman named Liz

She said; forget about body shapes, hair, money or things

Possessing or changing, or big diamond rings

It’s all about passion, mystery, and accepting your mate

Understanding, connecting, I’m not done yet, please wait,

Trust, compassion, and faith with no conditions; it’s true

Caring and sharing, it’s not all about you

Stop blaming and arguing and remember the whys

Be open and honest and stop telling those lies

What brought you together when you two first met?

Something simple or silly I’d be willing to bet

Did you bond over coffee, a joke or some tea?

The internet, the library, or a schnauzer named Glee?

Forgiving, forgetting, it’s all part of the plan

Be here, right now as much as you can

Sit with each other in silence and stare

Into the soul of your partner, through their eyes and declare

Forever and always I will be there for you

For I’ve just been reminded why it is I love you!
The Breath of All
The breath of one
Is the breath of all

Rising,
Falling…

She,
the breath of my soul,
Is your breath, as well

Many cannot see this;
Those that can
May not wish to admit to it

But, knowing we are all One
Means she is you,
She is me

How can I not love her
When I am to love all?

The love that is spoken of,
The love that is
Is of the highest level

That love that makes you certain
God exists

That love that makes you feel
Complete

That love that lets you in on the secret
That Eternal Love really does exist

And it is as easy as breathing out,
And breathing in

While you watch your stomach rising,
And falling

For the breath of one
Is the breath of All

Sacrifice

by Jewelz

As I lay next to you in the stillness of the night

In a place where there is nothing except you and I
in this moment

My devotion knows no bounds

And my passion is deeper than all of the oceans
combined

I realize I would sacrifice my life so that yours
would be spared

And I would gladly spend the rest of my days
making you smile

As I lay next to you in the stillness of the night

In a place where there is nothing except you and I
in this moment

I have found peace, laughter, and contentment
that I have never before known

And I realize my love for you is a never ending fire
that burns bright and clean

It is the truest form of unconditional

The embodiment of trust, faith, and grace

With compassion, integrity, honesty, and desire

As I lay next to you in the stillness of the night

In a place where there is nothing except you and I
in this moment

I realize this love has the strength to move
mountains

And the sensitivity to sense even the slightest
thought from 1000 miles away


In a place where there is nothing except you and I
in this moment

I look at you and I see Creator in all that you are

And my soul can finally breathe freely

And in my sacrifice

I feel complete
Dance With Me
Dance with me in the rain under the clouds
So we may be cleansed of the days’ frustrations

Play with me in the mud left behind
So we may find the happiness of children

Walk with me on the sands by the ocean
So we may enjoy the sunset Creator sought fit to send us

Talk with me in the wee hours of the night
So we may learn everything there is to know

Laugh with me over something no one else understands
So we may have our own inside jokes

Cry with me when something gets overwhelming or
when joy takes over our hearts
So we may heal the pieces of our souls

Be silent with me and hear all there is to say
So we may find the only way to listen

Leap with me off the bridge of life
So we may find the faith to sprout our wings as we fall

Find love with me because you want to not because I asked
So we may find solace in each others’ arms

Imagine with me a faraway place
So we may find the peace we have been seeking

Spend your life with me
So we may find beauty in every moment

Remember with me when we get old and gray
So we may never forget all we have shared

Lay with me when it’s time for my last breath of life
So I may once again feel your strength and compassion
when Creator calls me home

As in every lifetime before I will wait for you beyond the veil
So that you can dance with me in the rain under the clouds

To lay with her
To hear her beautiful morning noises

Her squeaks
Her stretches
Her moans

Thrill me
Captivate me
Hypnotize me

To lay with her
And hear her breathe
As she sleeps
Totally takes me in

I am ready to stay awake forever
As long as I can watch, listen
As a sentinel
A guardian protector
A lover
As so many times before

To just watch her
Just “be” there

To feel her energy
To feel the oneness
As she snuggles in deeper
Moving ever closer
Into me

And then,
She says, “I love you”
Without even opening her eyes

Is she really asleep?

I hear that deep, profound sigh
Ahhhh…
That only comes in sleep

And I know

Not only is she entrenched
In the throws of sweet slumber

But, there, it is only truth

And I know

Every moment with her
Is my favorite time of day.
