I never saw it coming and left it unattended. Did I tell you once upon a time how you set my heart afire? Do you know of this feeling, deep inside my soul? Where the warmth of your words passes on a sweet afterglow? I bask in your verse, they carry me for miles, some days... I look back on them to make it even further. And then.
Oh, foolish talk, yes? Like a teenager in lust. It’s not prosed, my dear, but how my brain seems to work. In overtime. Again. It would not seem quite right, these common old phrases. When the heart is all soft and gently confiding. Like ordering a seltzer when champagne is wanted. You know. It has never felt typical, but, very much surreal, a constant bond of feeling loved, a sealing of my fate. Awakened wholly sated under a blanket of love, covering my misgivings, warming up my heart.
I’m not sure how I can be any clearer, you’ve stolen something from my soul, yet, I freely give it without even thinking. Know that you are loved, because therein lies the truth. It keeps my heart a kindle, warmth consumed in whole.
PS... I love you, Denise
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
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 every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
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.

Thanks for the repost @pixresteemer! Much appreciated!
You sure know how to use the pen to get that most amount of passion from your words! Perfectly delicate blooms as well. You look so happy in that pic!!! Outstanding!
Thank you so much for your words. You always say the nicest things. :))
Ha! It's only a picture.
Happy Thursday!
@dswigle I was going to leave a comment but i’m just gonna second the old guy with photos cause
I can’t top that 😂. Hey both of you
Cheers 🍻 to the weekend! Make it a good one!
Thank buddy you have a good one too!
He is a little hard to top when he pulls out his words, isn't he? @geneeverett Thank you for the thoughts and the trail of votes you leave me. Cheers to you! I want to go to the Rum House or Dead Rabbit and raise my glass to you!
Best run ever! Enjoy the weekend!
A sealing of one's fate and also the feeling have having something stolen...That's what love does...And yet don't we willingly allow that theft? Want it? Of course, with the right person.
Nice words, as always. Ain't love grand.
Of course with the right person! :) Although, I know so many that only think it is the right person. Oh, and perhaps it is for a moment or three.
Thank you for your always wise words and yes!! Love is grand!
Sometimes the wrong person can be a thrilling and exciting moment in which to be stolen, or to steal. It happens. The right person though...That's what truly counts.
Lol...Wise words? Aww shucks. I'm just a dumb lad from the country who somehow manages to fool people I'm otherwise.
I'm going to apologise in advance for my next post...It's...Well, challenged. My artistic skills are somewhat umm...There's no words. So, please, no judgement. I've drawn myself and...The two dimensional one is even worse than the three dimensional one. All in good fun though.
If you unfollow me I'll understand. Lol.
Now you know I'll be right over. If #MarketFriday isnt finished, we will know who to blame.
Unfollow you? Be right there.
I'll take the blame...I have broad shoulders and besides, my nutbaggery knows no bounds so, people would believe I'm to blame anyway.
Lol, I'll probably hunt you down if you unfollowed. Haha, just joking...Or am I.
No worries. I'm armed.
or am I?
😂😂😂 Kudos on this retort.
😁 Thank you.
Made me laugh.
I still don't think it matters...I have skills.
Me too. Draw, Pilgrim!
Sounds like a challenge...
...but maybe we just call it a draw and go to the café for some baked cheesecake and coffee?
Haha! Deal! And I love that clip! :))
Great clip, great movie.
Thank you @geneeverett
Who wants to think when he's in love? So many stupid things have been done in the name of Love.
I love your words, Denise 😊

Haha! Nobody thinks when they are in love! You are right. So many things are done in the name of love or perceived love. Of course, we would all do it again and again.
Thanks, Hannes! You are so kind! I hope all is well in your world!
My pleasure, Denise, and you're right, I'd do the same things again 😊
Oh yes, we are all fine here, the world is slowly turning normal again - we'll see what the future will bring.
