Lord, Teach us How to Love-Sonnet

Lord, teach us how to love, how to forgive,
Please teach us how to live as You would do,
To care for friends each day, fresh hope to give,
For we are one, with Christ hidden in You.

We are all Yours, Your kids, You made us all,
Let's find the peace on earth that You proclaimed,
Beggars or kings, the same, the great, the small,
You knew us before we were even named.

There is no red, yellow, no black, or white,
We walk the same roads under the same skies,
We all are longing for freedom and light,
Together where our spirit never dies.

Until then, we pray to You, dear Father,
Teach us how to live loving each other.

Love Rooted in Infinity

We loved each other before the beginnings,
before the first snowdrops arrived,
before the apricot blossoms bloomed,
even before the earth started spinning,

before the existence of time,
before the angels learned to fly,
before the sun was shining in the sky.
We loved each other, what’s the crime?

We didn’t do anything wrong,
We let our souls be united,
We were together and delighted,
Our love was pure, sincere, and strong.

We didn’t rush to change the world,
We smelled the flowers from our hair,
The colors from our eyes we shared,
Around us, the eternal space unfurled.

But then, the clock has started ticking,
and we saw the first snowdrop, the first spring,
We could hear the robin’s sing,
We felt the angels and, our tears were dripping.

Slowly, has passed by us so many springs,
So many summers, autumns, winters,
We wrote so many poems, took so many pictures,
We knelled in so many valleys but, we grew so many wings.

We loved each other before the beginnings,
Together we’ll be born again into eternity,
Our love is rooted in infinity,
Where is no space, no time, no endings!

Love's Sillage

Your dance is majestic.
How an eagle glides through the sky,
in the same way, you float with your barefoot
barely touching the grass.

I follow the trail of the sound of your voice
how a ship navigates the ocean, lost in the storm
guided only by the light from your bright eyes.

A breath of your love fills my tired lungs,
You let yourself be inhaled in one pleasant smell,
I am alive. I can feel the scent of the ocean’s breeze,
All I have to do is breathe.

A strong perfume like a powerful cocktail of memories
invade the old room, an aphrodisiac fragrance.
I inhaled into my soul this exquisite aroma,
and I exhaled my eternal love to you.

Over the sad piano
hangs in a frame your beautiful picture,
In the air still lingers your divine flavor
as a bouquet of fresh roses.
Everything around gives off your scent,
even the stillness.
I miss you so much.

Spring Has Come

#spring#firstdayofspring#springtime#Spring2021

You opened the palm of your hand and released the Spring.

The flowers gather in their petals goldenrod variation, flamingo palettes, brilliant colors, and sweet perfume.

The garden’s pathway is crowned with bloom branches that blossom in the red sun.

Turquois butterflies fly, new wings are stained with vivid cadmium yellow.

You sneak through murmuring spring’s water and dance with the rustle of the chrome wood forests.

You gathered in your eyes the whole universe, and the time has stopped to smile through the stars that embraced us.

You kissed me with spring on my old wintry eyelashes and taught me what it means to love.

Watching Over Me at Christmas

It’s snowing beautifully outside
crystals are flying everywhere,
The streets are covered in bright white,
and love is in the air,

Frozen windows tremble
when happy carolers are passing by,
White angels, disguised in snowflakes
are dancing in the sky.

I’m snuggled up, all warm and cozy
by my fireplace, inside,
The sound of burning wood,
a melody so peacefully, so sublime,

I’m reading The Christmas Story,
by the candlelight,
A smiling star waving at me,
whispers good night, good night...

Crumbs of stars from above
sifts blessings over my house and my dreams,
Watching over me at Christmas, The Love
in heavenly splendor gleams.

Love's Tango

We wrap ourself lightly in the Fall
my love, my beautiful lady
Rusty and golden leaves fall
on our silver and tired temples.

So many rustles hide under our barefoot walk,
So many prayers we had, down in the valleys or on mountains top,
We left so many traces in the stars, in the sun, through storms, through rains,
So many wonderful seasons have passed, beautiful lady over us.

We shared the burdens and the joy,
The glass, the spoon, and the plate,
We also shared wounds, tears, and pains,
Failures and successes, smiles, and sweet pleasures.

It's raining slowly with huge splashes that urge us to dance, my beautiful lady,
I kiss a tear that's running down your soft white cheeks,
and we continue, as it is written for us, the tango of love in two.

Marius Alexandru

Autumn’s Sonnet

The winds blow lightly in the silence,
It's raining with sad leaves in quiet tears,
Lost rays dream of light, hot impatience,
Upper tired branches slowly break their fears.

It's autumn. Hopes are dash in the dark fog,
Colors fade, and the pink flowers die,
The moonlight disappears in choking smog,
I began to roar I began to cry,

I choose to sing together with the wind,
To cry with the golden leaves through the rain,
To embrace a ray of light, to be kind,
To feel the great sadness and flower's pain.

It's autumn, from her wealth of hopes we reap,
A new time to laugh, a new time to weep.

The Autumn Of My Life

The rusty light scatters in the rising winds,
Hills and valleys clothed in gold are smiling,
The crazy leaves are dancing as they lost their minds,
Over the orchards and vineyards, birds are flying.

The perfume from the winepress intoxicates me,
And it lifts me on the shore of dreams,
My whole being, stained by love shouts I’m free,
Flames, poems, and songs overflow from my chest in streams.

Rains of happiness blossom in my heart,
And in the autumn of my life, it's spring again,
The dry branches, watered by love have a new start,
I’m a new man I’m a new man!

The earth got dirty with small drops of stars,
The fall’s living carpet has laid,
I walk toward eternity forgetting all my scars,
The colors of the flower slowly fade.

A tear descends from the eyelash of a cloud,
A ray of hope to the groaning valley,
The heavens watch me, I am proud
as I approach The Grand Finale.

The Sweet Flavor of Love’s Fruit

I had some butterfly in my stomach,
At the thought of holding her by hand,
I saw her from the distance, coming,
Until today I cannot understand,

How could she like a kid like me,
I smelled her hair and felt her breath,
I hid fast my bruised knee,
And waited patiently for my death,

It was a Spring day, end of May,
Her cheeks were red like poppy flowers,
I whispered slowly, scared, please stay,
I hold her hand and talked for hours.

I sipped her words that flew like birds,
I dreamt of making her stop,
I wished my words to touch her words,
Together dripping drop by drop.

I finally took courage I was bold,
For a split second, she was mute,
I think I was five years old,
I tasted the sweet flavor of love’s fruit.

a poem on my first kiss, WITHOUT using the words—kiss, lips, mouth, and tongue

140 words © 5 days ago, Marius Alexandru   rhyme • love • friendship

Forever One

At the edge of the abyss,
I sit alone dreaming of you,
I remember your touch, your kiss,
And the sweet love that we once knew.

I can feel you in raindrops and rainbows,
Our souls dimmed stars by dawning light,
are wandering in the shadows,
out of the stranger’s sight.

Dying a little bit each day I fully live,
Together, we'll melt in the rising sun,
On the love’s altar, my life as a sacrifice I’ll happily give
for our souls to be forever One.

Marius Alexandru

No Barrier For Our Love

This world will never be strong enough,
To put a barrier for our love,
It might be hard it might be rough,
We’ll conquer all the scary stuff,
All the darker clouds above.

When I am with you,
When I see your smiles when I see your tears,
All of my skies are clear and blue,
It’s daily like my first I do,
I am full of hope my fear disappears,

When in my dreams,
I can hear your voice, your laughter,
I’m deaf to all world’s screams,
I walk with you beneath the trees, beside the streams,
A thousand years before, a thousand years after.

I’m not afraid of the passing time,
I’m not afraid of shadows,
I pour my love in every rhyme,
There are no mountains we can’t climb,
I believe in colors I believe in rainbows,

I would never hurt you,
When I saw your smiles when I saw your tears,
From the first day, I met you I knew,
That what I feel is real and true
We’ll fly together another thousand years.

INXS-Never Tear Us Apart

Searching for Love

I was searching for love in gardens with so many flowers,
I thought I could find it in the scent of lilies and roses,
I spent thousands and thousands of hours,
So much time wasted in the wrong encloses.

I could swear that I heard the love in the beautiful nightingale’s song,
and that I saw it on the many colors of the rainbow,
I was looking and looking all summer long,
I was searching for love every valley and mountain, every path every row.

I was chasing red, green and yellow butterflies,
Hoping to fulfill my vivid dreams,
I was searching for love in the oceans and skies,
In the dreary wilderness, in the rivers and streams.

I was searching for love in the stars at night,
In the golden dust of the moon sifting through the earth,
I was searching for love at dawn, at the start of morning twilight,
In the drops of the rain, in the wind carrying youthful mirth.

I was searching for love I was blind I couldn’t see
her beauty, her soul brought me a happy glow,
True love was waiting patiently next to me,
I found love, and I never let go.

 "Looking for Love" Johnny Lee

My Beautiful Angel

I pour love’s pure nard every morning on your bare feet,
I kiss the sole of your foot,
and the earth wonders why are you limping,
not knowing that you walk like this fearing to crush my kiss.
I count the stars in your shining chestnut hair,
and the sky is envy at my blessings,
I carry your perfume and your smiles with me everywhere,
and the wind dreams of spring,
I am dazzled by the bright of your fiery eyes,
and the sun is angry at my fortune.
I hug your glowing soul I hold your gentle heart,
You are mine, and heaven is jealous
of my beautiful angel.
