Retro romance Saturday 💘 #vss365
Love on the beach
She waits for me
Ripples of waves kissing the shore
Breezes fanning her flame
Adored and deeply in love
My darling of sun caked sugar rays
Cast off your insecurity
My love #revolves around you
Steady your heart
For it is gold to me

Retro romance Saturday 💘 #vss365
And so love sees
Brightly in the eyes of hope
A battle waged versus thoughts
That threatened its very existence
But a sacrifice pierced its heart
And so love won
Returning kindness
#Dividing the spoils
Leaving us the gift
The light in our eyes

A #vss365 love poet
Partake of any fruit
From my garden
That you wish
Only leave with me
A part of yourself
To share as well
For gardens give fruit
Not for one alone
Like winter frost cannot last
In summer or in spring
He needs the #warmth of her embrace
Not in physical form only
Though there he melts too
But also her mind wrapped around his heart
And his around hers
As she becomes
His endless summer

Thank you, Jennifer! 🌹 So great to have your support over here as well! 📚
In a small #corner of her world
She cozies into her sacred space
Where her book boyfriend beckons
Where the cares of this world
Simply melt away
In a romance tailor made
Just for her heart ❤️

Thank you so much, Aspen! It’s great to see you over here! 💜
So happy to connect with you here, Dora! Thank you, too! 🙏✨✨
In addition to her charming personality and #bonnily cute appearance, it was Karli’s humble high intelligence that drew college guys to her like frat brothers to a pizza party. Some repelled, not knowing what to make of her, but the best ones understood and boldly asked her out.
My heroine

What does winter say, whispering in the harsh winds of snow and ice? Draw nearer to each other. Find pleasant reprieve in intimate warmth, your prelude to spring. 💕

Thank you, Seth! You too, my friend! 🙏
There is a gift
Hidden within
These pages I have transcribed
Just for you!
Do you not see it?
Can you not feel it?
Lovely #heartfelt words
Deeply implanted
Between the lines
Wishing and longing to be
Deeply imprinted
Upon your heart

A #vss365 heroine story
Nothing made Karli more furious than when her friends were treated unjustly. The oppressors could threaten her, treat her harshly, #sear a hot iron to her face, but she would not back down. She would ensure justice for her friends through the power of the press.

#Lavender beauty
Such light adorns you this day
Come lavish me with
Tendrils of kindness today
Wrap your scent around my heart
And walk with me in the way
That my words may be to you
Poetic musings to play
On viola heartstrings
To love you
Like lavender flowers in May

She said, you owe me a dance
In the rain where I stood I had to make good
So we danced a romance
Slow and close and true
The way I like it, the way she did too
There was music playing somewhere
In my face the #wisp of her hair;
Subtly aware,
I loved her, right there
#vss365

Where do you #bloom, sweet flowers of love?
Beneath storms of despair or bright weather fair
In droughts of gloom or the sea’s hidden womb
I’ll find you, roses of life, petunias of light
Come out, I know where you hide, In arms open wide
For that is why you are alive
#vss365
Hi Monique! Good to see you, too! 😊🙌🔆
That’s true! 🥰
At #dusk come the deer
Down to the river for a drink
And a peace settles gently here
Makes me wonder, makes me think
Why the skittish deer are frightened of me
When I come near to say hello
Why the autumn twilight laughs at me
When love was all I ever meant to show
#vss365
It’s still there! 🥰
Thank you, Jennifer! Happy to be here! 😊🙏🌹
My friend Dave just joined Blue Sky! 💙 He writes the most beautiful poetry. I would love it if you welcomed him with a follow! 🥰
Thank you, Blue Sky! ☀️
D.A. Gardener is now on Bluesky. We say welcome to our new user. Welcome D.A. Gardener
Your subtlety, humility, femininity
Meet me where I am most vulnerable
My heart disarmed, my love freed
My lips know the #shape of yours by heart
Like the sun knows the surface it shines upon;
Like the shadows that compete for their attention
I know them even in the dark
