Love is the answer

happy, Hope, love,

Love is the answer

As the wind started to murmur to my ears

I could hear the song of love

Igniting my overshadowed dreams

While the softness of the breeze caresses my face

A moment of happiness is all I can feel

Blissful like a melody of a beautiful sonata

Enticed my spirit to the realm

When someone leaves you in the cold

Do not fear, do not hate

Giving love is the purest form

We can offer to someone deserving

Love is the ultimate solution

To the challenges we face

Illuminating our path

Even in the darkest of days

Juliette

The Happiest Birthday Girl!

I know a beautiful girl named Juliette.

She lives in a faraway land. Paris – that is.

Her eyes are the lights of the sea.

Not only that!

They also sparkle like shining stars.

Her voice sounds like a singing angel

coming from the sky that lyrics the music

in my heart. Oh! How enchanting that is.

Thus captivates my soul.

With her soft little hands,

she caresses my face – like giving thanks

that I am around. I vividly recall when I visited her,

I read stories of fairy tales. As she listened

with all delight, her semblance shines

that makes me bloom like a bud of a rose.

This adorable being is so dear to my heart.

Although Juliette lives away from my side,

I am thankful that she loves me with all her heart.

Happy Birthday my sweet granddaughter.

You bring me laughter and joy that makes

me whole!

My Sweetest Mother

My Sweetest Mother

The kindest heart you have;
nurturing soul that inspires
my creativity – that is you
and no one else.

In your womb, I was fed
and cared for. With the grace
and blessings of God, I am

here breathing the joy of life.
No one else aside from
The Almighty will love me

as conditional as you would.
Without you, I am no one.
And it is you who reminds me –

to love God above all.
From the very core of my being,
I love you my sweetest mama.

Happy Mother’s Day!
You deserve the greatest
glory in your beautiful journey.

Thank you so much Lord for giving me my mum! For my mother’s devotion, faithfulness, and undying love – the greatest present from High Above.

In the lane

Live your life today; For you to cherish the yesterday. Tomorrow is another day; Aim as if tomorrow is today.-13Every Valentine’s day is no different from the other. It is a special day; it does not matter where you live. There is always the excitement even before the exceptional and unique day when you are in love. Love is an indescribable feeling that gives you an overwhelming happiness. In relationships, there will be ups and downs. And when the debacles and challenges come your way, do not give up; find your peace spiritually. Ask the help of God. When you need the space alone to heal, contemplate and dig deeper to the realm of Divinity. You never know, you might be going to the highest level of your spirituality with your ‘Twin flame.’

In the lane

 

near the bay I could see my sweetheart

running. Wearing red shirt to conform with

the celebration of the day.

Valentine’s day, forgets he not to

bring me roses and glazed chocolates

that I love. My heart soars in the sky with

his thoughtfulness and kindness. I am

utterly lucky to have the ambrosial

love of my life. As I am giggling and laughing,

my excitement adheres. To give me kisses

and hugs is the epitome of my day.

Like a movie, in slow motion,

I start to move like a princess with

finesse execution. But not to my knowing,

a rock is going to trip me. Oh! My darling is

like a tornado, rushing with all his might.

The roses are flying in the air, the box

of chocolates crushing to the ground.

Never mind, I am safe as my darling catches me on time.

My heart is trembling, my soul divinely enhance,

and my spirit is at peace with my love in his arms.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S TO ALL!

YOU ARE SAFE WHEN YOU ARE IN LOVE!

How I wish

How I wish

By Virginia Close

How I wish I could hold your hands;
To go to places beyond my mind.
To the world where you and I
Can kiss and embrace without halt.

In your universe, I could not go as of now;
In your dreams I could not even come.
But that hinders not my love;
Nor prohibits my heart to stop my devotion to you.
 
Ceasing not I to recall the happy moments with you;
For heaven above hails my yearning for you.
With no denial you are now faraway;
Not by distance of land and not by the deepest sea.
 
Your body and soul is now with someone else;
It is painful and not just, but who am I not to comply.
The love given I to my dear sweetheart may not come back;
Regret not I but thankful that you were once mine.
 
I will never permit my soul to wonder;
Thus, yonder without destination to go.
No obstruction could standstill that my spirit could not break;
To reach your heart and continue my quest.
 
Even if the fluorite may no longer glow in the dark;
And the many facets of diamond loses its sparks.  
Your irresistible charm that melts my heart;
I will forever pray and asked God — for you to befall on my lap.

The Stubborn Woman

We make beautiful memories to cheer us in bad times (2)

By Virginia Close

The stubborn woman 

from yesterday becomes subservient today;
her wonderful thought of love comes in a flash.
A man from somewhere running to her very fast;
wooing and kneeling along with no cash.

‘It does not matter,’ she says, ‘God will provide;
as long you love me, we will go along fine.’
In her heart, she will walk with him with faith in God;
beyond her terms, but only her dreams.

Who is she to question why she falls in love?
To read what is coming, she would not care now.
Like a green pasture in the meadow, she will sing;
In the midst of the spring, she will dance with him.

She is thanking God for the blessings He brings;
her laughter in the air is all the Universe can hear.
The magic of love only God could deliver;
never question, just savour love with the guidance of God.

My husband

Today is champagne and roses, love and romance. Enjoy this happy day with your darling. Not all sweethearts are together physically today. Please bear in mind that distance is no barrier to a great relationship. 

LOVE IS THE FOREMOST MEAING OF LIFIT CAN CROSS THE ABYSSMAL DEPTH OF T SEA.png

By Virginia Close

My husband

is working in faraway land.
I am lonely and think of him
every second of the day.

Many moons and suns, I cry
without halt, for I miss my darling,
his smiles, his touches, and his voice.

To the world to be alone is the saddest
plot of all. Not to be near with
my sweetheart is doom to my heart,

My other half left so long ago to work
in a foreign land for our family to get by;
to give the glorious future to our daughters

and sons. Not only that, but my darling
also wants to hand me the best thing in life.
I am sure that he is suffering from being

apart from his kids and me.
Nevertheless, he endures for he loves
us dearly without stop.

Today is the coming of my love.
I have waited for this moment
every day since he was gone.

My heart is jumping to the sky,
gladness in my totality, food for the soul
that will make my spirit shine.

I am waiting patiently at the airport
with my family and friends. This is
the happiest time in my life.

My body shivers with joy
as I saw my love approaching by.
My breath almost stops when he

kisses me. Oh! My God, thank you
for bringing back my shining armour
in my arms safely and sound.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S TO ALL!

LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND!

MY SISTER

I am utterly lucky to have you!

My sister

As I promenade to the memories that we share;
I might be far, but my heart carries you all the way.
Thank you for the kindness that you continue to give;
You are an integral part of my great life.
In times of my happiness, you cherish with joy.
When I am down; ever more, it is you that I count on,
Going back to the path that we passed;
Not so long ago, outside forces tend to tear us apart.
They can try all they can, but, will succeed not;
For we are blood sisters bonded with our souls.
All my worries disappear when you are around;
In your absence, I remember the good old days.
In the gloomy moment, you make me laugh;
In the sparkling of the sun, the more you shine.
You have given me love to your best; such an inspiration, indeed. 
Beneath the façade of the faces that we know;
Your impressions fronting the inside is home to me.
In the midst of the tangible twists, you smile.
Unconditional love we bestow lightens our way.
On your special day, you deserve the ultimate gift.
From your younger sister, you spoilt from the start.
The absolute love untarnished through the years.
Though, you have heard it many times before; 

Happy Birthday my beautiful and sweetest sister! 

You are a gem – a present from High Above
May your dreams from the present and the past; 
Become real for you are worthy of the very best.

BRIGHT COLOURED

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

Bright coloured

dress;

like a princess, I wear

to a ball in the bay.

The moonlight flatters

every piece of the necklace

on my neck – lustre

that hangs on my chest.

South sea pearls

from the Island of Tahiti.

 

Thoughts on my head;

beyond the horizon

comes back – priceless

memories I cherish.

My love and I will meet

tonight in the inlet.

 

Treasuring the moment

of the divine passion will

happen – romancing

under the glimmers

in a tropical setting.

Drinking coconut

cocktails with a dash

of magic will delight

my sweetheart.

The splashes

of the sea brought

by the breeze – moving

the universal gift;

epitome of the

goddess of beauty.

 

My darling is here;

flowers he brings

reaching – my

hands as he kneels

down, asking, will

 

you marry me?
