Our love was not a vacation of the heart, not a tourist escape
Our moments were not stolen, snatched from fate, hidden life
Let not our words die in vain, let them not be lost in translation
Let not our dreams fly only in sleep, awake, this is not a cinema
There is no theater of our acted passion, no intermission of desire
There is no red carpet ropes, no silk curtain pantomime, this is ours
Claim this is our life, shout at its attention, decry all challengers
Claim this as my wife, join me, now and only forever, forward
For me there is only you, only our happiness, our little house
For you there will always be me, always your safe harbor, always
For us, let us rush to beginning, never dreaming of an end
For once upon a time, there was you, there was me, there is us.


still headlessly hopelessly desperataly deeply irrevocably out of my mind.

MrsD

The heart speaks what the mouth won't.

Every day I have my thoughts with you, in friendship, romance and intimacy
When I think of your smile it brightens my mood, chases the clouds away
Your sweet words, whisper, tender songs to my ear, tease faint kisses
To you I am your mid-day sun, and you are my ever guiding bright star
With you, I have found a treasure beyond riches, with you is all that I want
On an island in a desolate sea, in a crowded city, in a far mountain range
You are the only attraction that I can see, I - the only one for you, you only for me
Chase our loneliness, cast out our fear, let us surrender to each others heart
I need you near, I need you my dear, forever and always together in time
Come to me and dance to our melody, float on our cloud, be my Valentine.


yep its that sappy time of year. shoot me.

MrsD

What a heart melter you should write for hallmark. Better yet I'll do the illustrations you write the poem and we will make our own cards.

they flow better in Russian

and they are 100 % panty droppers ! I ahve a local friend that proofs them for me to make sure I have the ukrainian side of things, instead of Russian (because they are different) and she is all upset with her husband because he doesnt write to her like I do to my girl ......

I have been trying to teach him some Russian, he just cant get his head wrapped around the endings !

MrsD

You have a rare talent that can't be taught. I thought it sounded pretty damn good in English I can only imagine what it would sound like in Russian. All women want love letters and poems very few men can write them. I have my love letter framed and its my most important possession. Words from the heart are priceless City your words are just that priceless.

I trace a necklace with my kisses, sparkled with whispers
I dream to you in poems from my heart, stolen hopes
I grasp to your memory, clasp my fingers to your hand
I to sew you to my shadow, only so you are never without Bear
Together we will claim the world as or own, deny past fate
Our heaven is green and the fields between us are blue
Come to me my little barefoot pixie, tickle your toes on the grass
Follow the lavender, chase the sunset, find our garden dessert
Each night I come to you, to see our dreams again in theater
Every time it is always just you, my star celebrity, my dear exuka


exuka is a hedgehog, a russian creature of luck and fortune, shy, noctural and rare.

MrsD

That looks so cool in Russian. Its interesting to me Exuka is a hedgehog.

I actually dont have the right character on the key board for it, and when I code it out, babble makes it funny ASCII text. I hate technology sometimes.

And so it is Valentimes day (its what I calle it when I was a kid, I never did figure out what o'clock was valent) So more poetry ! and to all a good night.

I put my heart to rest in a lined chest
and shackled the clasp shut, key inside.
I dug deep into the stoney wasteland
and threw the box over my turned shoulder
I covered it with a great boulder
and left all hope that I had behind me
I burned the ships that brought me to the island
and destroyed all the maps before they could betray
I abandoned my heart and left it to forget
and yet you still found me, always knew my secrets
You turned smouldered embers into a new inferno
and I cannot believe your magic and craft
You floated the rock like it was a cork to wine
and I was intoxicated and captured by your spell
You unearthed the barreled cask, bashed the hinges
and I knew that there was no lock that could keep
You found my heart, and into my life you will always be
and I have promised to never hide from you, only you


yes, its campy, dont look if you cant standz it.

Появился медведь, c острыми клыкамиб длинными когтями, старопытом теяжепо жизни
Считался, что весь мир печально, грустно, проклатно, поэтому было же
Прошелся пещерой через лес спящий, с полным животом - бедное сердце
Нашел на полн, мало ежика, даже мирно спящего, как-бы дожидая
Медведь в глубокой громким голосом: "Кто - Что ВЫ здесь делаете?
Ежика згадила на сбогу без страха, в тихом прошептал песни
Ты не такой страшно пугает тот, не все когти клыки
Ведь-ли могли бы даже осмелился лежал со мной, твоя капенька?"
Мишка - сразу сошёл с ума -сердце улетал сильный ветер зимой
Ёжика 'Знаявши Любовь - не испуганно- Мишка - мы в ней одным'

Here we find our BEAR with long fangs and sharp claws,
old from experience and a tough life
He Considers that the whole world was sad, grumpy, and cursed -
and so it returned the favor
it is time for hibernation - with a full belly and a empty heart,
He had carried himself through the woods to his cave,
He found in the middle of the floor, a little hedgehog;
even peacefully sleeping as if waiting
Bear growled in a deep grumbly voice
'Who are you - What are you doing here?
The hedgehog glanced to him and without fear,
in a quiet whispered song
"You are not the scary frightening one you think you are -
you are not all claws and fangs.
could you even dare to resist your desire to lay with me,
your little winter berry?"
And indeed our Teddy, as if suddenly, fell out of his right mind -
his heart took to flight as if in a strong winter wind
The little Hegehog sang 'having known LoVE -
dont be frightened- my Teddy bear - because we are in it together


its better in russian ;)

Eyes like jewels stolen from a crown
Silky hair, flowing and brown
Bunny nose, tender in wonder
Cheeks soft, laughs like thunder
Strawberry lips, sweet as candy
Smile so precious, a wit that is handy
The world so heavy floats from her shoulders
A heart so warm and inviting, love smolders
You are my angel, to my world I give
You bring me joy and smiles, now I live.

headlessly, hopelessly, absolutely, without reservations desperately in love with this girl. And now it is time for the Aunt Jemima treatment !

cityxslicker

This winter of our distance will soon pass, fall to the March of Time
Ours is a passion and life that will blossom like cherries in the yard
Feet of snow will from the avenues soon shed and fleet
All of our fears will vanish like clouds of smoke, but faint whispers
Come to me in dreams, rush to me in life, fall to my heart
I will build around you a fortress, and even a treacherous mote
Ignore the alarm once more, come to me, lest slay this dragon

cityxslicker

I suddenly felt the space between us, long flight out, 10 zones away
A tingling, lingering, crushing, a pain under the weight of our seperation
A Pain under the wait of our forced exile, time unrushed still stands guard
And all seems normal, except for my faulter, out of kilter, swirling
spinning, smear of speed, kailaedescope of anxious color, struck frozen
A sudden and tragic meltdown, epidemic, earthquake or tsunami, all crumbling
fueled by caffeine, hunger, a touch of madness, adrenaline and distilled spirits
Oxygen fails me, I just cant catch the breath, my heart races, vision blurs
with out you, I am the walking zombie, no concentration, no hope, no love
Set torches a fire, gather a mob, storm the castle, root out this Frankenstein
Claim what is ours, shelter against the virus of doubt, the parasite of fear
Come to you I will, suitcase in tow, heart in hand, dreams in my head
Let us conquer all that stands between us, chase lightning, breath fresh air

I found the box of old emo stuff, I had forgotten how prolific I was
some of it is just vile and insideous , ripped from the heart kinda thing.
I really think that I have enough of them from the good, the bad, and the ugly to make a book, and attempt to get them published and let them see the light of day, and rid them off my back. by purging them from their vault, I am setting them free, they are no longer who I am, where I am, it is time to let them out and do their damage elsewhere !

MrsD

cityxslicker

Let this time stand frozen, our hearts will soar past as a tourist attraction, this postcard
Please be to peace my little one, do not doubt, do not argue with your desire
In our memories we will always be together - those rainy wintery days, always
Let your anger be silent, store your apologies, forgive our absence now
Our runway emergency is but a drill, and when our love lands, strobes will fade
We will find that our world wind romance will travel light, explore far

cityxslicker

Soon we will be together, together again, my gift of to you is not a painted shadow
Not a paper mache heart, not a marionette puppet on strings to play theater with
Forget our music box tears, run to me, chase to me - lets escape these childish games
Forfeit the hide and seek escapades. There is no London Bridge Falling, no Red Rover
Toys and trinkets, keepsakes and souvenirs, bundled notes, fading pictures
For me there is simply not enough of you, this separation just wont suffice

cityxslicker

I chanced upon a box of ancient laments, forgotten, remorse, better left dead
Volumes bleed a tragic death, pine of lost heart, wounded passion, beaten pride
They have escaped from their vault, ready to reap their damage, reaking in bile
Encouraging doubt, fear, loathing and an angst against all that could be a love
They are not who I am any more, I shall set them free, to do havoc yonder
I claim that these are from a life best left alone, from memories that should fade
And may my indifference to them only be exceeded by my apathy; they are me no more


and with that - I will include all the evil vile ones. and off to shop a publisher.
And it is poem 42, the universal answer to life, love, happiness, well just everything; what is the question ? F*ck if I know.

My dear child, my sweet little one, my cherished girl, I am completely lost
Where is my dear one, where have I lost my endeared child? I have lost all gold
I only want to be with you, completely, strongly, with all my heart
I see you across the room, and I can not believe my eyes, I simply want to be with you
But I know that I have no chance, no choice. Your hair, your beauty, your dress
all render me speachless. I just want to be near you, may such joy come to me
My dear child, my sweet little one, my cherished girl, without you - I am completely lost
You simply cannot get away, cannot escape the scene, trapped by tedium, for love you wait
I throw caution to the wind, and set on course, I simply cannot be without,
I simply want to be with you, if there is not you, there is not me, there is no joy
Where are you, I am simply lost without you, strongly vacant, I simply want only you.

You are so very striking, with eyes that I instantly noticed
So I took a chance, took a seat, and told you of my preference
You looked to my eyes, and told me that you were not to be toyed with
And I too it seems, that was it, but without you, I couldnt be alone
You smiled and and said that it was 'forbidden, simply unspeakable'
But if you said yes, from all the world - you would be my only importance
But if you say yes, every thing else is no matter, if you smile
and say yes, all that other is of no consequence, if you say yes,
My all to you, you will be happy, you will have faith, just say yes
We were to walk down the street together, all would notice
Simply all of my dreams would to come true, If I were to request
Could you be with me forever; you simply laugh and say it is forbidden
But with you I am dizzy, and my whole world collapses, to us; our dance
I stop to ask you again when music dies; you smile "but it is dangerous"


these were written separately, but I like them in tandem.
In Russian they are ten words per line, with almost an iambic rhytme to them with the up and down cascade; in english they just run

cityxslicker

These tears do not belong to me, I cannot believe that I am their cause
the rain at night, and the cold frosty mournings, our separation suffers onward
do not be upset in worry, or set a tumultuous turn to your daily routine
Wait my little one, soon it will be our spring, soon our boredom will end
Soon the sun will stay out later, and the full moon will burst anew
Dont shut me out of your heart, dont lock away your feelings, dont abandon hope
There is a plane on the runway, I simply wish my flight was already over
Just ignore all your doubt a little longer, hold on to yourself, lean to me
words were to give me wings, I am already by your side, words to bring you love
I would already bestow that treasure to you, soon I will be with you - soon

This morning was ice cold, and wet; where is our summer?
Becareful in the rain, bundle your scarf close, warm your heart to me
Dream that the sun is already warm to tan your skin
chase the clouds away with your tender care, let our time come now
Let us celebrate past the equinox, ignore the weather, leave it all
There is already the blossoms to the cherry trees, but still no you
Soon there will be the heat of the noon sun, but still we are apart
And my heart would die if I were to be delayed until the fall
The leaves in their explosion of colors and fireworks of shade;
And the dreadful cold would return again, let us join before then
Let our seasons come to pass together, until then, never forget, never doubt.

MrsD

Ahhh I hope you make it there before the fall.

cityxslicker

Glimmers of tigers eye, captive heart, barbed and caged
Shifting shades with mood, chasing clouds with your smiles
Stirring thunder heads by even the notion of fraught to your brow
My little one, always so endearing, fearfully hopeful, anxiously
adventurous, gilded in your persistence. Snowflakes in spring!
My dedication to our climate is not as fickle as the weather,
but as constant as the dawn of the sun. Glittering hitting summer beaches.
Dont let yourself get trapped in what ever was; come with me to now.
May our past be as a frozen fossil, far ahead of us is our jeweled path
A future liberated from eclipsed forlorn morose trials, blinded fate.
Let us design our storyboard from here, a new Once Upon a Time.

damn long distance sucks.... but it is still better than what was happening locally.

cityxslicker

Every thing about you was lucky, the hour we met, never could
have been had it been planned, had it been to some schedule
Our time together, from word go was always seemingly dangerous
A heady addiction, rush of accelerations, loss of understanding
There was nothing that could stand in front of us, that could stop us
Remember those times now, recount the skin bristled excitement
the anticipation of new, raw, unencumbered – kill notions of routine
Put the target cross hairs on all that we have thought we knew before
Aim to what we want, what we both know we crave and deserve
Squeeze the trigger, drop the hammer, breathe deep, and follow the shot
This is the bulls-eye we have both been hunting. Do not let leave our sights.

cityxslicker

A sad melody hangs in the air, the clouds drop rain, and the trees are all bare
I am so jealous of the spring that has you, of your season of warmth that is foreign
The birds are all quiet, and only visions of you haunt my head, dear, only you
What do I have of only dreams, of you, of a family for us; I came alive when I met you
I do not want this cold, dreaded silence, these stolen hopes of what only could have been
Could never forsake the inspiration that you brought to me, please come to me again.
Would be afraid to ever leave your dreams, to have you forget our magic, come to me again
Should never hope to fall asleep again, if there was not you to the stage of my imagination
I have waited all my life for you, here, now, there is only you for me, let history die
Knowing you, dreaming of you, calling on our fate, there are only previews of our life
Fly with me, my little one, let this cold month be buried, let us lay to rest any doubt
There will be no more questions about our hearts, no more tears, no more sadness.
Our separation will end, our caresses will endure, I simply want you, I always believe.

cityxslicker

that was a bit too whiney. so I reworked it . same feelings, other side of the coin

A tempo fast and hurried cacophony pushes the air, chases clouds, rattles trees bare
Drives the spring headlong to the needed summer, dragging off the pain of long winter
All is foreign, all is the concert of you, I cannot hear the past dull life that was an anchor
My date of incarnation was with you, your spells, your encantations, creating our magic
All color and light, the changing colors of a pouncing tigers pelt, speed smear,
The exileration of our chase, the adversary of prey, the capture of the trophy heart
Let us rout out our fears, put the dogs at bay. Let them off leash, and flush anxiety
Race against me, stalk against the shadows. Let us dance the tangled intrigue, this hunt
hear the call of the staccato, the pulse of the tango, the beat of my heart to your drum
The challenge is ours now before us, let us not forgo the quest, nor abandon the hunt.

cityxslicker

The sun finally stays late, but its warmth still escapes - a hollow summer
Street lights kindle here just as you shake off sleep, our world in opposites.
In my head our soundtrack always on loop, first meeting, your words, our promises
Our silent distance mocks our dreams, tempts doubt, teases hope, chases love.
Keep tied to my heart as securely as the domed onions anchor the church to heaven
Don't shed any tears through this storm, I have not forgotten, not forsaken, never left
Tread not in misery, you are the only one that was ever so true, the only one for my fate
Piece together our dreams, know it was not a charade, not a masquerade, never a pantomime
Curse this time zone, dread this continent; I wish to already set sail from western winds.

shiate long distance sucks.

Nice one dude...

cityxslicker

found this one on the server.... I missed it apparently

Just as the cold mornings never seem to end, all of my days are cloudy and gloomy without you.
Our love is like the flower in the garden, needing water, light and attention; I am sorry to have missed
In our times of silence, our feelings have struggled at the seams and trying to be torn apart, I refuse !
Not in a moments thought has there been notions of days without you, without you there is no me
My love and hope to you endures, our time was not a post card for souvenir, but only the opening chapter
Every day I wish to begin anew to show you my devotion to our love, and our happiness
Only the distance and clock is against us, there is no hurdle that our love would not battle to survive
Never doubt my true integrity to our promises and our desires to loose this dreadful silence
Sing to me again, come find me, lighten my days, brighten my mood, confirm to me our hope
Keep your desire kindled and tended, loft the light like a beacon to the shore, I will always be your sailor
You are always my gleaming light, the one that forever shines, when it is night you are my guiding star
Please let me again be your noon day sun, the heat to your summer, the kiss of the tan to your skin
Every moment of mine belongs to you, follow me, find me, search the sky; and you will find me.

you will notice the first letter of every line spells out in a downward fashion. "JOIN ME ON SKYPE" It was a trick to get past the filters that her website uses to block web site addresses. It worked !

Below the heavy clouds of a dreary wet sky,
Columns and steps siphoning the rain, tumbled fall.
Rushing beads, chased to bigger streaks, how stained,
drag slowingly, well worn, shearing away summer smiles.

Smuggled in crackling leaves that rustle, constant wind,
Awaits the stage to clear, threatens an abrupt end.
Swirling drivel, cascading hope away
Faded colors mock a happiness that has escaped.

Trying to persuade the beconing sun, warmth of heart
Stolen tokens, forgotten notes, lifeless songs
As you dance, leaps and twirls, dances so far from reach
A life away, a skirting time, running from the fall heavens

My barren outstretched arms haunt like crispened twigs,
Clinging to a spider's crocheted lace, chasing dusk.
As you flutter through the distant equinox days,
Tender hearth, delicate perfume, demure intentions.

Toying and stirring, calling to blossoming leaves,
Playful minx, sprinkling glittering always a surprise
Always the sunshine, always the bright, always my hope
My somber trance ended with your first glance.

MrsD

I love it City ..it makes me feel warm.

cityxslicker

glad you liked it.
I reworked a couple of them, combined them a bit... I am still on the fence, but it is different enough, that I think it should see some light.

There was a time when the empty feelings
that hung over endless days had no name
An uncertain lack and longing goaded me
I knew something was missing from my life
I inflicted a prison upon myself daily
I walled my self away, contrived safety
lulled into a false sense of security
Until
------That feeling that hit me again
One of whimsical pain, that torments me
baiting me to trust, teasing a life
Stiff columns of soldiers guarding my past
Each day a new recruit fell into line
I marked the growing ranks as months ran
Continuous nights, I stared at the ceiling
chasing the spectre that haunted my mind
and when I caught it, I found it was you.
I thought I had locked that door
--------------------------------Impetuous Heart.

Really... City you should publish a book. Your work is better than good its amazing.

cityxslicker

I haz a publisher lined up, he has experience in ebooks, and will take a cut in affiliate marketing - which is great, because everyone else wants money up front
I think this is why many authors die penniless - because you have to pay to submit your manuscripts as many will not accept unsolicited works.
the new buzz is e publishing.

cityxslicker

And here is the controversial question;
from thundering clarity of a train on tracks
broad head light searing down the darkness
churning and barreling, nestled on guided tracks
speed and clamor as the rails click under
All seems apparent, all directed and on time...
and yet there is the whirling, winding, and twisting
the jostling of cars, the fright of a runaway,
always the threat of a derailment, a sleeper to awake
spindles undone, axles unsprung, weighted, hope lost
waste along the tressel, careening into empty fields
uncharted, off kilter, steaming yet still ahead.
the fleeting fading light, this dosing slumber, this coma
a voiceless melancholy, a lost destination, late again.

MrsD

Very Cool keep me up to date I want to know how it goes. I think we are the only 2 left on the boat.
