I’ll always remember our romance in Maine, My Love
the wildness of the sea
the embrace
of the tallest evergreens.
Draping a blanket over the picnic table
and how the northern sun played,
dancing in your hair.
**
Later there was the beautiful feel of cold sheets, and wrapping ourselves
snuggling,
in warm homemade quilts.
Your sigh,
and smiling in your sleep.
Who could forget?
I’ll always remember our romance,
in Maine My Love.

His thoughts gathered in sea foam, along the coast of Maine,
eyes filled – with the jagged rocks of philosophy
cynicism was fortunately loosing its hold,
and grey matter began to change,
the never relenting surf
washed in the gold of sunlight,
forced a smile to appear
on his face.
It was time to return to the bungalow, he realized she must be
praying for him again, he could see her there
with spiritual eyes in the dining room.
The reality was always better than philosophy anyway,
as he walked, he truly wanted the time
she often craved, of books that sang,
and blankets on the couch
and of course,
two cups
of tea.
Gathered, and loving the time shared.

Peace and blessings to everyone.
“When we love people, we give them hope.”
Tonight more than any other night,
let’s sit by the window,
so we can take in,
the water, the coastline.
I will always remember Maine,
hiding in our bungalow,
your face reflecting the sun.
Is roast beef ok?
Lost, staring at each other,
remembering the single rose,
on our first date,
I hand you another one.
Hearts melting,
I take your hand in mine,
and bring it to my face,
tears streaming,
flooded with love for you.
I guess the roast beef can wait,
as we close the curtains,
and pull down the shades,
our lips find each other.
Happy Anniversary sweetheart,
you know I love you,
tears and kisses blending,
My Love.
Note: This is about an anniversary celebration from years past. It’s not our anniversary today, but sometimes I do look back on this.
Blessings to everyone and peace!
“If you love nature, you will love people.”
