"...and that burning flame is LOVE!
--Kahlil Gibran
My heart first pumps away day after day...
Inside, the heart-within-this-heart of mine--
Is yours.
Yours alone.
My heart organ one day will die
But not until long before I
Know that my Love for you
Will continue right on through
After all else of me is just
Nothing--no more nor less than dust.
This heart-within-heart will live
Will continue forever to give
Itself unending
Unbending
To you, who forgive me
You, who outlive me
My inner heart, my soul, will
Live forever, always, until
We are once again entwined
One soul, one will, one mind
And those who with us living above
Shall have named our single spirit
....LOVE!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
You are so romantic! Snap out of it!
ReplyDeleteHahahahah!
oh dear..who says you don't know the rules
ReplyDeletea wonderful poem of deepness of love
p.s. I know that is not your actual photo
hee hee I only meant that it represents your being.. of thankfulness..
OKAY, SUZ! NOW I 'know' you...but be prepared for a responding "gotcha" one day. YOU started it--grin!
ReplyDeleteCES!
I cannot snap. Spring is springing, well, birds are singing, maybe they are just shivering out loud. WAIT A MINUTE!!! WHO is talking 'romantic' here. Look at your so careful drawings/engravings, the detail, the absolute loving, creative finishing of EACH--and then you (thank God!) give them away.
HOLEEE SHAMOLEEE!--grin!
PEACE, YOU!
awww....let love live on well beyond the organ of its origination...love-ly verse steve
ReplyDeleteBravo, steve, this is gorgeously made into something more than the words and it touched this heart with tenderness...in gratitude. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful~ a masterpiece
ReplyDeleteIsn't the one desire of men and women to be loved with that intensity? How many of us achieve it - that I don't know
Enjoy the love of your life

ReplyDeleteYou write about L_O_V_E with such passion, Steve. It's clear to me this is a fave topic of yours.
A muse Love is which inspires your heart and perspires a poem to be hung in the archives of past, present and future.
This is so beyond 'I love you + I love you too'.
It gets to that place we can call 'fourth-dimensional', which only a few lucky ones have reached, including YOU and possibly me...

Beautiful. The heart truly is an organ of fire. Happy V-Day to you and anyone else around. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done. Love that image.

Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

A masterpiece? Each human is a masterpiece (I believe). When I think about it, what we do with our gifts is SO minute alongside of that. You use yours in grand fashion, my dear!
ANDREW!
Awwww! I thought always that was handsome YOU under that hood!--grin! LOVE it!
MAGPIE!
Happy day to you too, girl. Actually this is NOT my biggest day of any year. Sad but true!
SUSAN DEBORAH!
Friends at One-Stop took my stuff and everyone else's OFF soon after I posted. I think that sucked, or there is some mistake, or I misunderstand how it works over there. In any case--I got to vent on YOUR comment--grin!
DULCE!
I swear girl, you write the nicest, sweetest (of course!) comments of any I ever read. Thank you for the smile and warmest of feelings you engender.
Peace...and LOVE!
TESS KINCAID!
To you also, from me and "anyone else around"--grin! HAPPY Valentine's Day!
MONKEY MAN!

JESS!
Thank you, dear one. I just saw you and Shawn on FB, in that gorgeous Christmas photo. I still do not know how to get around in that venue--but I'l do, do, do, like the Hindus do--and that means "do my best"...
PEACE
