  1. Yearning For You

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Beneath the stars, I dream tonight,
    Of holding you close, in love’s sweet light.
    The miles between us feel so long,
    Yet in my heart, you still belong.

    Your voice, a melody, lingers near,
    A whisper of love I always hear.
    I long to see your smile so bright,
    To end this yearning, to make it right.

    Though distance parts us, love will stay,
    A beacon of hope through every day.
    And when we meet, oh joy untold,
    Our hearts will reunite, as love takes hold.

  3. Love Took Me Softly By The Hand

    Poet Unknown

    Love took me softly by the hand,
    Love led me all the country o'er,
    And showed me beauty in the land,
    That I had never seen before -
    Never before- never before -
    O Love, sweet Love!

    There was a glory in the morn,
    There was a calmness in the night,
    A mildness in the south wind borne,
    That I have never felt aright,
    Never aright - never aright, -
    O Love, sweet Love!

    But now it cannot pass away
    I feel it wheresoe'er I go,
    And in my heart by night and day
    Its gladness moveth to and fro;
    By night and day - by night and day
    O Love, sweet Love!






  4. Love is meant to be lived fully, with passion and joy. This poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox captures the intensity and beauty of a love that is freely given and unapologetically felt—a love that embraces life and brings the heart to life.

  5. Joys Of A Living Love

    Poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    I love your lips when they’re wet with wine
    And red with a wild desire;
    I love your eyes when the lovelight lies
    Lit with a passionate fire.
    I love your arms when the warm white flesh
    Touches mine in a fond embrace;
    I love your hair when the strands enmesh
    Your kisses against my face.

    Not for me the cold, calm kiss
    Of a virgin’s bloodless love;
    Not for me the saint’s white bliss,
    Nor the heart of a spotless dove.
    But give me the love that so freely gives
    And laughs at the whole world’s blame,
    With your body so young and warm in my arms,
    It sets my poor heart aflame.

    So kiss me sweet with your warm wet mouth,
    Still fragrant with ruby wine,
    And say with a fervor born of the South
    That your body and soul are mine.
    Clasp me close in your warm young arms,
    While the pale stars shine above,
    And we’ll live our whole young lives away
    In the joys of a living love.






  6. Our Timeless Bond

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Through fleeting years and trials faced,
    Our love endures, securely placed.
    Like roots that deepen, strong and wide,
    Our hearts stay bound, side by side.

    The wrinkles speak of stories told,
    Of love that warms though we grow old.
    In laughter, tears, and quiet grace,
    Our timeless bond, no time can erase.

    Though seasons change, our flame stays bright,
    A guiding star through darkest night.
    Hand in hand, we’ve found our way,
    A love that grows with each new day.



  7. The wrinkles speak of stories told, Of love that warms though we grow old.

  8. Love's Quirky Ways

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    You steal the blankets every night,
    And still, you say, "I sleep just right!"
    Your snoring sounds, a midnight song,
    Yet here I am, where I belong.

    I burn the toast, you spill the tea,
    But love still laughs at you and me.
    Through all the quirks, we find our way,
    A perfect pair, come what may!
