Unspoken

On February 25, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Melancholy, Romantic28 Comments

Your words are
empty syllables
floating in the sky
How naive I’d have to be
to miss the depth
in your eyes

Two like ships we are
with enough disparity
to balance the scale
but not enough
to change
the direction of the sail

Yet, parting ways
is what your heart
has chosen for us now
I’ll accept,
but not much time
will my heart allow

Love is deeply stronger
than any heavy fear
when you unlock the gates
and turn the key
you’ll find
I’ve always been near

I’m mesmerized by the colors
that dance across your face
as flames carry out a jazz recital
my heartbeat meets their pace

Your eyes penetrate
with a hunger that feeds
You touch me with your thoughts
fulfilling all my needs

Wrap your warmth around me
with soul, body, and mind
and touch my lips so gently
to taste the sweet, sweet wine

Rendezvous

Pulses race with empty time

His mustache sweeps
over creamy skin

drinking in sweetness
becoming drunk with need

in a moment defining the bond
they share

a moment needed
more than air they breathe

and as they reach the peak

eyes on each other

they smile

anticipating
next time…

Happy Heart Day! ♥

Here’s a Valentine wish
for my hubby to whom I’m smitten
and to all of you
who peek at what I’ve written,
to my dearly missed Mom,
it’s been a year since she’s been gone
to my family who support me,
they’re as strong as the sea

Today isn’t just a day for lovers,
It’s a day of love that covers
everyone who adds
color to your life,
lessens the strife,
adds calm to your crazy,
brings life to your lazy,
and adds love with a hug.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

With many x’s and o’s,
Lauren

Hearts Celebrate ♥

Do you hear the music?
Isn’t this our song?
The night you held me closely
and I knew I belonged

Do you hear my heartbeat
so in sync with yours?
It’s amazing how well we’ve fit
throughout all these years

Do you know the spell you cast
when you look into my eyes?
My knees fall weak, my dreams are you
Your love makes me high

Our happiness and hills we’ve climbed
are tightly in our minds
They’re for the scrapbook we created
full of laughter and times we cried

I wish for twenty-four more,
of making memories with you
I wouldn’t be complete, My Love,
You’re my rock; My Love so true

Happy 24th Anniversary to my Hubby
and I’m posting this to share, not to brag,
because I wish this happiness for everyone!
Sending love and hugs! ♥♥

I Loved You

On January 7, 2013August 14, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Melancholy, Romantic85 Comments

I loved you not too long ago
My heart gently placed you
on a pedestal
You remained there
and could do no wrong
How beautifully we belonged

Then the pavement cracked
and I found myself
straddling both sides
trying to decide which was right
watching where my heartbeat landed

My mind was stranded
somewhere in the middle
where nothing made sense
and two and two made five

I was alive
but my time was up
I had to choose
and lose a part of me

Though forever
our love didn’t last
you will always
be a vision from my past

Maybe down the road
our lives might chance to mingle
and we could feel that hold
Just a slight tingle again
