I watch you open your eyes
You smile
Move closer.
Your arm encircles me,
A kiss so tender
To melt my heart.
Your fingers stroke my hair.
There is no reason for words
We speak an unspoken language
Of lovers, joy and commitment.
In the freshness of the morning
We play, gently, savouring every second
Wishing this moment
To never end.

Aww this IS lovely, Michael:)
Thank you so much Oliana. I actually enjoy writing these pieces.
Aww the unspoken language of love. Nice Mr.G š
Thank you Jenny, fun to write.
You write beautiful poetry, Michael.
Thank you so much Lyn, you are very generous.
Beautiful imagery created from these words Michael. I watched the Notebook the other night and my mind instantaneously flew back to those moments where they were reunited and everything at once seemed perfect and right in the world.

Thank you Lou, I have written a few around this theme, I like the idea of waking with a lover.
The movie you mention is a oldie but a good one, sad as I remember. I am glad you found a connection with this poem. Good see you again.
I also relate to the feeling you have Michael – fondness of the idea of waking with a lover.
Albeit I’ve only just recovered from the last relationship I was in (that unreasonably was never really defined) and Oh what a mess it created in my heart and mind.
Might pay to mention I stop communicating with this man in march of 2009 (Looks at calendar… so that would be the LONGEST recovery in.. say.. well FOREVER)
I may well live on to be a spinster… lol *snorks*
*reminds myself I’m only 35*
Relationships are hard work, having failed twice. I believe recovery can take a long time. I think I’ve gone a little longer than you, 2007. Single life does have its benefits, you play whatever music you like as loud as you like. But waking up alone is not what any of us desires. You are still young, your knight nay be just around the corner, you never know.
*nods* Perhaps.
Right now, my priority is ensuring the children have a stable, well grounded upbringing. Being 7 and 9 years old, they are young yet coming into themselves and are so very very smart.
As a child of a single mother, I myself constantly reflect on my experiences with the men my mother involved herself with (Often Co Dependent Relationships) and have consciously chosen to not involve myself with any romantically until I am confident of the influence they would have in my both my life as well as that of the children.
I’m not sure if that’s how it should be done, though that’s how I’ve decided to do it š lol
You have made good choices Lou, your children are your life, your own experiences serve to remind you of what priorities you want for them and you. Go do your thing, be happy at what you see you are giving your kids. They will thank you and if they are smart they need opportunity to exercise their intelligence. I worked in a school for gifted and talented kids, they are amazing places and the kids support one another. You sound like you have a clear direction for your children. You are a long way ahead of those who don’t.
*beaming smiles*
Thank you for the words of affirmation and encouragement Michael.
It’s not easy on your own Lou, not easy in a dysfunctional marriage either, but somehow my kids have turned out ok. You can only do what you believe is right for your family, the rest takes care of itself. Keep doing what you are doing…..you’ll be ok.
P.s: Playing whatever music you like, when you like is definitely a Perk.. lol
Works everyday for me.
Works mostly for me, especially when the children grab the hairbrush and start singing Taylor Swift tunes.
Yes well my kids have all but one left and have their own families and my son tolerates my music tastes.
I should point out that your children’s musical tastes are a bit like the friends they choose, you don’t have a lot of say in it.
But I can always lock them in their rooms, and deadbolt the doors, not providing keys?
#QuestionableParentingTechniques
Yeah true, but is it working for you? If they have their music with them they just play it LOUDER!!!!
LOL… I was talking about preventing them seeing #NotSoAppripriatelyBehavingFriends
Right now, I get the say – since they are 7 and 9, but I’m starting to consider ways to install ground breaking state of the art security to stop them climbing out their windows or sneaking out after dark.
#MicroChip and #AnkleBracelets
lol
Yeah yeah yeah, good luck on that one.
I thought I had a handle on my kids as they grew up.
In recent years they have delighted in telling me about what they actually did, like climbing out the window in the middle of the night…..had I known then I would have been beside myself.
LOL #Oh Noes!!
The other way to look at it is to realise that in bringing up your children you are imparting values into them that will direct them to the friends they most want to be with. its a bit like the like minded theory. You’ll be fine.
Oh and thank you for the welcome back š I don’t know why I don’t try harder to be here more often, I really enjoy my time when I get here, life just keeps on getting in the way!!
#Rudeness
That’s the thing about life it has a habit of getting in the way, and we have to live it.
Awesome and rejuvinating
Thanks Al, glad you found it rejuvenating my friend.

This makes me sad and ache a little. My partner hates to be touched in the morning. He is a night person only. I often wish that I could have this. Being in a relationship doesn’t mean that ones’ needs will be met.
Dear gimpet, I hear what you are saying it is sad to be denied what you crave, and it is true a relationship doesn’t mean anyone notices you any more than they might a stranger in the street. A relationship can be the loneliest of places to be.
Very beautiful!! š š
Thanks Helen, your comment appreciated as always. Hope you are doing well.
This is beautiful. True intimacy comes with moments like these we share. I will be getting your post from now on. You were set to off in my reader. š
Thank you, to off you say? Hmmm some of my posts could be seen in that way…lol….I hope visit again.
Thank you for reading and your comment. Morning is a magic time of day.
Yes it is. Especially that time when the rest of the world is still sleeping.
So true, quiet you can get stuff done.
that’s when I usually start poems. 3, 4, 5 in the morning. If I’m really inspired I stay up if not I go back to sleep.
Well I wasn’t thinking of 3am…..lol…….more like five just as dawn is breaking, no traffic, just the birds, namely the kookaburras laughing in the trees outside. Love that time of day.
Yes that is a good time. I suffer from insomnia and wake up all crazy hours. I don’t work any more so I sleep crazy hours. It’s 7pm and I’m getting ready to go to bed. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to sleep. š
Well no I guess not, not you are a step closer to it…..its 11.15 am here, sunday, I live in the future….your time tells me you are on the east coast of the US yes?
I don’t work anymore either but that’s because I am old and past my use by date…..lol
Yes I’m in the USA. I’m usually in bed by 6 I was late today. Are you in Australia? I’m almost all I became disabled too young. So I went bad before my expiration date. š
Yes in Australia. East Coast, North of Sydney.
How were you disabled?
That’s the problem it auto corrects to the wrong thing. š I have lupus and it has affected my lungs and heart. I’be written about in my early post on my blog.
Ok I shall go and look. I’ve written about my health as well, though mine is not as debilitating as yours.
Auto correct you do have to watch it….
Almost old not almost all. I’m typing on my kindle. I make lots of mistakes when I use it on line.
Yes I know what you mean, thankfully my iPad auto corrects correctly most of the time.
When I use the Kindle I’m usually in bed and it’s dark and I can hardly see. I like to keep up on my emails. I will search out you post on your health when I get on the computer. Easier that way.
Yeah sure, i
Sorry hit the wrong button, I have been looking at your blog, read about your lupus, seen your photos nice to know the face I am sending these to.
My post is:
I have chronic Kidney disease..
I’m doing good. I’m really blessed. I was on oxygen. I haven’t need it for three years. I need to lose 100 pounds. I gained while on steroids and stopping smoking. Easy to put on and hard to take off. My cousin moved back to the States 6 months ago. He lived in St. Ann I think. He worked on those big construction trucks. Company moved him back. He loved Australia.
Don’t know where StAnn is, do you know state?
It’s good you can say you are doing ok, like any illness there is always someone worse off than you, not it helps you but I find it comforting when I think about my own situation. My mother died at 57. She had what I have. So I’m doing ok too.
When I get up in the morning I check his location. I’m going to lay down. Have a good day. Enjoyed talking with you.
You too, take care..
Lovely…The romance in your words has me oohn’ & ahhn’ š
Oh RoSy you so read my mind…lol…..romance you gotta love it haven’t you…
