CLICK ON BOOK IMAGES TO VIEW/BUY. AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS FORMS OF PRINT/DIGITAL Author’s Bookstore on Lulu   When I first began this journey in writing it was back in early 2001.

Love Came Once In A Dream; romantic poetry

Image c/o Google Search   We follow endless footsteps searching Love undeniable, its purity Cascading as virginal waterfalls In the splendor of the romance feeling The stirrings of arousal, diversions Churning as waves of intoxication Droplets of rainfall upon our souls As whispers of lustful inclinations   Our brook would tremor in undulating Shimmers of hesitation as though we Came together, yet love not forsaken Our hearts have forbidden this dream would end As we bathe in euphoric covenants To walk hand in hand without condition Our words but a kiss would upon these lips Taste a sweet surrender everlasting … Continue reading Love Came Once In A Dream; romantic poetry
