If you give your heart’s devotion,
you risk,
losing all your Dreams.
There is no magic potion,
for a Life of guarantees
It seems,
that while I hold you,
you know I hold your heart
I only want your honesty,
and have
right from the start.
I shield your Soul from sadness
and protect your broken Heart.
I calm your apprehensions
and
caress your fears unmarked.
Unselfish love I give you
for a moments treasured touch.
Your Dreams are known are my Dreams,
your Love is worth so much.
Desire for love
is Human Truth,
from cherished moments past.
with all my Hopes protected,
in you, my Trust is cast.

I recently read and really enjoyed Michael Fedison’s new book. It’s classified as YA.
The Eye Dancers by Michael Fedison

Currently, I’m reading Lada Ray’s newest book, The Earth-Shifters.
So far it’s been a wonderful book
Lada Ray ~ Earth Shifter
How in the world did I miss this? You and your lovers… I’m going to dare you: write something mysterious or maybe faith inclined… LOL.
Your imagination is bottomless and your talent blows rooftops, but you don’t need me to tell you that! 
Honey, you’re so eloquent when you write about caresses and kisses… lost loves. I want a little twist! I need a little twist! You’re too sweet for your own good.
LOL… well, I’ll try when I have more time.. I will be sure to keep that in mind and try to write something based on my faith. Good idea, thanks! I have a lot to be thankful for
Yep!
Hi Keli, me again. Just wanted to thank you for letting me know that you downloaded The Earth Shifter okay. I was concerned about that B&N glitch.
I don’t know if you’ve seen my comments, but I responded several times in the LadaRay Books section: http://ladaray.wordpress.com/lada-ray-books/
Really happy you like The Earth Shifter!
Thanks Lada… I am really enjoying the book… almost finished. My mom had a stroke Friday so I’ve been at the hospital almost totally for the last 48+ hours. I’m almost finished with the book and really enjoying it! I’ll try to check out the other comments…. Thanks!
I really hope your mom feels better soon!
Hi Keli,
Beautiful poetry and painting!
And thanks so much for mentioning my book!
Cheers, Lada
No problem, I love the book Lada! Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful poem… “caress your fears unmarked”… what a wonderfully evocative phrase. I was in just such a place lately and wrote about it yesterday. It’s a funny thing that happens when you find your experience in someone else’s words… Be well~
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving the kind words! I love your blog as well… Thanks!
Yes, trust is what it is really all about it isn’t it? Lovely…
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! I appreciate your stopping by and leaving such kind words!
As always, this is a wonderful post, Kat! And thanks so much for the shout-out on The Eye-Dancers.:)
No problem on the shout out… I loved the book and think anyone who likes YA books or has young readers who enjoy good, paranormal mysteries without the sexual overload would really enjoy it!
I appreciate it!
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit and leave me a comment!
This is sooooo beautiful …i love this poem…i love painting….just love it
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment! It is most kind and very much appreciated!
I enjoy your poetry and your reflections also. Sometimes I lurk. However I think I shall visit here more often and openly.
Though I take this as a compliment, I also must protest; for I am no more than a man deeply in love. I have as poor an education–particularly in the humanities–as the very worst of us. Even when compared to those poor souls graduating from the
re-education campspublic schools of today. I simply took it upon myself to learn a few things. Mostly these were things in which I was interested. For me, Love=sonnet writing. I appear to be perhaps, something I am not, simply because I am of advanced years, and I have, along the line somewhere learned such terms wherein I might describe myself as autodidactic instead of self-educated. Such words sometimes dazzle, but since I have come to love wordplay, I do try to point out that such things as ‘autodidactic’ and ‘self-taught’ mean the same thing. Poetry like any writing, is enhanced by reading and writing a variety of things. I have no native gift with words. Quite the contrary. Most people, particularly women (on average) have better neural arrangements for making verbal connexions than do I.What I do have that not everyone has, is a long history of being crazy in love with a literature nerd. My sweetheart loves classical literature–and reads it much more easily than do I. But I love her enough to learn what she loves. And sonnets seemed to be the ultimate expression of that world, and of such a love as I describe. That’s how it all started. I believe I was exactly 21 years old, in fact.
very powerful message … guarding one’s heart by being open to love
I see someone else agrees with me . This is a beautiful write !
Awe, thank you! Great minds think a like!
Always such beautiful words and eloquently put. I love it!!
Always
Benjamin

I love this poem. The expression of love is so real and very passionate. And the painting is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness…. Well thank YOU for stopping by to read and comment! I appreciate your time! Thanks!
Well I believe that reading something wonderful is good used time.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
