In every living thing, there is the desire for love ~ D.H. Laurence
We have it so good. We enjoy it so much. We express it so little. It can make your heart shine like the stars in the universe. The most beautiful feeling in the world.
The pleasure of florals is deep-seated with me. I cannot understand my love affair with them, but, I insist they dress in words from the heart.
The drifting of my thoughts, begin and end with you
It was that inviting taste of words on your lips
A tender kiss, I don't have the strength to resist
I close my eyes to the day, but, lay very much awake
Feeling the sensation of you, watching me
Strangely neither minding
The intrusion of space
Tonight
Draw me close to you
Whispered silence on my lips
The hint of your voice in my ear
Ignites love's appetite
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
May there always be a flower to color your world, with love, my loves. #alwaysaflower And just like that, this post is over! Come back tomorrow and we'll do it again. Remember that kindness counts, wherever you are, whatever you do. Good night!
Love to you always,
Denise ❤️
How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barret Browning

Such a lovely passionate type of post! I have to say I am a fan of it immensely!
Well, I am not sure I can trust your opinion.
However, I can't just toss aside a nice comment. That would be rude of me.
Thank you. :)
Beautiful poetry from a lady with a beautiful heart!

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment, you blonde bombshell! Mwah! I hope your week is off to an amazing start!
Oh God! I have always said that the voice of the loved one is like a beautiful song to your ears. It brings calm and peacefulness. In this poem you add the spice of the passionate madness that someone's lips can arouse! How beautiful! I only hope that the person whose lips inspired this poem ( if any)respond in kind to you 😍! Beautiful ! As with your food recipes, which arouse my appetite, this poem makes me want to... I'd better not say it 😂
Hehehe! I can only imagine!!! :) You do know I have a great imagination, right? Thank you so much for the kind and generous words. It is so nice to see someone who understands!
I hope you have a wonderful night! Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words!
Nice poem. Is this a poem? It really reads like one to me.
Regardless though, you do have a way with words.
Sort of? More like a series of poetry kind of laced together. Thank you so much. That is so nice of you.
I think spring is in the air! It is even a little above 21C today! Woo-hoo!
I appreciate your words.
My cats could put a quick end to your flowers. 😂 I'm seriously looking forward to spring so I can get some things growing outside!
What? Bring those Kit-Kats forward. I need to meow with them a bit. My two do not bother the flowers, merely sniff them once in a while.
I am very seriously looking at spring! It will be 70 all week long! Woo-hoo! Well, except for that pesky rain!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great rest of your week!
Who better to write about love than Denise?! Love your poem, but then I was floored by this comment
Yes you do, and that's why we love you!
Awwww! You are so sweet, you know that? I know, it's cotton candy sweet, but, honestly, isn't love?
Thank you for such nice comments and make all sorts of apologies for not getting out of my own comment section lately. I feel like I just get this done and poof! My free time is gone.
Love to you! ❤️
Same to you!
This is so true.
And for some reason some of the living things have the desire to completely intentionally harm or even kill others. Even some animals are doing unnecessary (surplus) killing out of enjoyment. Living beings are difficult things, so I do not say that they need punishment/comeuppance, or any harsh consequence, but hopefully every living being will understand that harming and killing others are very bad.
I wish complete peace and complete love for every living being. Hopefully one day every living being will leave in complete peace and love. I believe in God. I believe that God forgive all of us, because there is good in everyone.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Peace is what I have prayed for, almost my entire life. There is nothing so beautiful as complete harmony. Yes? I don't have the answer to it, but, I do know that I will do my part the best I can.
I know you will too.
I hope you are well and doing well... Have a great rest of your week. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words.
Whispering....! On the lips...! That's quite romantic. Such a whisper is enough to ignite love.
Exactly! Just like love. It only takes a whisper. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words.
Have a wonderful week ahead!

Lovely poetry friend @dswigle I really love them I hope you will write some for me during a special program or for a lovely friend
Thank you for your kind comment. Write some for you? What do you mean?
I love to poetry but am not too good at writing and I will like to present it to someone someday,maybe you can help me do that when I need it? That what I mean 😏
Words that are soothing to read, I really like reading them.
Thank you!
You're welcome
Cute flowers!
PATRICK!!!
@pipurilla !!! Did I just see your name flash up on my screen??? You are back??? You have been missed! How are you and the entire family???
Hi Denise,
Great to see and read you again, my friend!
Yes, Homeartpictures told me about Hive! Guess I will try a comeback.
We are doing fine so far! How about you and your loved ones?
You didn't know about Hive? I had no idea! You were still back on Steemit, watching it sink? I haven't seen Daniel in a bit. I need to go visit him!
You did check your wallet here, yes? I was so happy when they forked over, they matched whatever you had in your steem account. It gave everyone something to start with and then we powered down the other. It really was pretty cool.
You can make a comeback. Sivlerbloggers is a nice way to do that. A very supportive bunch and you don't even have to be old enough to join it. :) Anyway, glad to see you here and my immediate family did well so far through the pandemic. Nobody got sick, so we are happy!
Welcome back!!
