Happy 23rd Anniversary, Honey ♥

They say my heart lies on my sleeve
I can’t disagree, nor will I try
There’s another manner, though,
For me to prove that you’re my guy

In every verse, in every line
My feelings show quite clear
It’s impossible for me to hold back joy
That you’ve brought so near

How can I convey the importance of you?
What new words can I write?
Simply said, with you in my life
I always find the light

I’m a romantic, plain to see
This is silly, mushy and sappy
But, I don’t think it matters
If I’m truly, truly happy

You should be sure now, just how I feel
With each year, you’re loved more and more
Happy Anniversary, My Husband and Best Friend
Forever and ever, I will adore

CHANGES

You don’t listen anymore
You don’t offer your heart
You don’t smile
when I walk through the door
We’re together, yet, so far apart

You don’t bring flowers
at the end of the day
You look right through me
when I have words to say

You don’t kiss me
hello or good-bye
My head is spinning with questions
I ask myself, “why?”

Where have you gone
What have I done
What happened to us
I ask you because
I still love you

PERFECT IMPACT

On January 5, 2012January 5, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic48 Comments

Crazy in love with the man you are,
not who you want to be,
doubting yourself, constantly
I comfort you
you’re the true match for me

I wish you could feel
when you steal a kiss
how dizzy I become
I’m still stunned at the effect
you have over me
My heart flutters
when you take me so blissfully

I offer you my hand,
walk beside me through life,
calm your mind and understand
as sure as the shore meets the tide
Our souls
were
meant
to
Collide

Imperfection

Why must I see
the flaws surrounding me
a laugh line here, a crow’s foot there
the endless pulling
of each gray hair
the muscles that have flipped,
to say the least
either way, they’re not
where they’re supposed to be
Those youthful pages
of our precious photo albums
portray an image
that was once okay
now, the magnified flaws
have definitely found their way
Yet, your soul doesn’t see
what my mirror shows me
You see the blue-green ocean
when you look deeply into my eyes
You feel my long, soft hair
and marvel in its silkiness
My laugh lines joyfully remind you
of our endless happiness
When our hearts beat
as close as can be
all that matters
is our loving connection
Your adoration runs deeper
and through your devoted actions
seeps absolute affection
So blessed am I
to have found complete
Perfection

THE KISS

On December 8, 2011 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic46 Comments

Those bedroom eyes…
It’s in the stare
before the leaning
A little heavy breathing
Mesmerizing to the core
Sweet, in slow motion
An electric pull
Tingles stirring
to curling toes
Body heat rising
in a warm embrace
Roaming hands
Wildfires spreading
Melting beyond reason
Head spinning
Global tilting
Magically unforgettable
Blissfully memorable
Sinfully intoxicating
Simply delicious
When lips unite~

FALLING

On November 22, 2011 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic22 Comments

Here I am
with open arms
I give my love to you

My adoration
and devotion
are from my heart
so true

Mesmerized by
your baby blues
this came as no surprise
with just one look
I was lost
inside your dreamy eyes

Seek no more
for a caring soul
who’ll love you
as I do

We’re meant to be
magically
I for you
and you for me

GOOD NIGHT, MY LOVE

On November 17, 2011 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic32 Comments

They leisurely stroll

down the moonlit path

Their shoulders brush

as he takes her hand

Soft to the touch

Her eyes, beguiling,

She leans into him

and catches him smiling

A serenading breeze

follows them for awhile

He’s enchanted by her presence

and her dazzling style

The path’s end draws closer

He pulls her to embrace

Her lips, breathtakingly near

He kisses her, cradling her face

OUR STORY

On November 5, 2011November 5, 2011 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic22 Comments

Before I met my husband, I was in the end of a 3 year relationship going nowhere fast.
My hope of meeting Mr. Right was rapidly fading.
I was only around 26, but I still felt time was running out.
Then, I put my refrigerator up for sale, he bought it and the rest is history!
So…we met in a funny way, but
it just goes to show you
that when you least expect it,
love happens!

Our paths were tangled, indirectly
We were unaware of
what was about to take place
The pace was swift and
it was fair to say
Our lives were about to change

I won’t rearrange the series of events
Some too laughable to erase
In any case
We crossed that bridge
through the sale of a Frig

Yes, don’t underestimate
what God can create humorously
that may become blissfully amazing

A month passed by
Hearts all a flutter
You better believe we were in love

Six months later
Riding a ski lift to the top
He popped the question

Six months after that
We said I do
A swift pace it was
because
We just knew

Now a little grayer
More laugh lines showing
Two kids still growing
We must be blessed
Sounds a bit crazy, however
It’s still love forever
