Amicable Hearts

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Melancholy, Romantic41 Comments

A universe now altered

since your presence

is ingrained

in everywhere I look

and everything I feel

It’s as though you’re still very real

and yet, it’s your image

that will follow me

indefinitely, so

I’ve tucked the love

that once held your eyes

inside my aching heart

and I haven’t forgotten

your charming smile

I’ll carry them both for awhile

Don’t worry about me

I promise not to break

I’ll miss you, terribly,

but staying close

would be our mistake

When my emotions

have settled

I’ll set you free

and you can look back

Remembering

Me

Engagement Anniversary Tanka Duet ♥ ♥

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Dedications, Romantic, Tanka37 Comments

I.

He smiled, lovingly,

not revealing the surprise –

Embraced by summer’s

breeze, we rode up to the sky

and then he asked me


II.

Eyes looking deeply

into each others souls, he

gave me his world, and

I gave him mine, dreams became

a timeless reality

Electricity

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic36 Comments

It’s not what you think
My dreamy state and
Light-weight feeling
have me reeling
but it’s not you
(don’t stand too close, please)
I’d love a breeze

and my words don’t tumble
my feet don’t stumble
because of you
(I repeat)
It’s not what you think

I don’t take a double blink
(when you saunter by)
No, you don’t catch my eye

Where do you
get these notions?
(as though my heart’s been sprinkled
with love potions)
Of course, you’re not to blame
don’t be so vain

I’m feeling a bit flushed
(oh, my, how you make me blush)
Check my temperature, would you?
I must make do,
but I think it’s the flu
Oh, maybe, baby, it IS you!

Acceptance

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic29 Comments

Days roll by at a snail’s pace
Everywhere I turn I see your wonderful face
I’m sleeping with a dark cloud above my bed
I can’t seem to shake you out of my head
Maybe she’s better for you than me
but I can’t see it…we were meant to be

Each time we kissed,
the ground was a wave
beneath our feet
Didn’t you feel it, too?
My naiveté shines through

Inside my heart,
you won’t find resentment
Our moments we shared
bring me contentment
To win you back,
there’ll be no childish ploy
Into your future,
I only wish you joy
