21 Days of Gratitude for Love: Day 10

Today I have relapsed and shed a number of tears. But there is still time left in the day and I shall not go down defeated.  I remember a time when there once were happy tears that I cried. May your life be filled with the love of family, friends, and/or romance. Long live love!

Happy Tears

By: Annette Thomas

To feel emotions

Build up in an

Intimate moment,

Where words have

No expression –

Happy tears fell.

Something is different

Something is dear

That moment we

Kissed everything

Became clear and

Happy tears fell.

21 Days of Gratitude for Love: Day 9

I was once asked: What is something that you learned about success and living that you didn't know at the age of 20? Today I am reminded of my response: Education, experience and memories are 3 things that no one can take away from you. Remember that. Long live love!

When I Close My Eyes

By: Annette Thomas

When I close my eyes

I am taken back

To endless nights of

Making love and visions

Of caressing your body.

The memories are as fresh

Today as a cool

Gentle breeze on the

Petals of an untouched

Rose in the sunshine.

Oh how I long to

Hold you and feel

Your body quiver beneath

Me as my hands

Explore your entire body.

To bath in the valley

Of your love is

One thing, but to

Connect with your soul

Causes my insides to

Flutter like butterflies.

21 Days of Gratitude for Love: Day 8

Today was a challenge but if there is one thing I have learned, it is that there will be some days that are better than others. It is my hope though that there are better days ahead and those are the days that I look forward to. Long live love!

Looking Forward

By: Annette Thomas

I look forward

To the day…

When I can

Gently speak the

Words Good Morning,

Kiss those tender

Lips of yours

And

Say the words

I love you,

Truly meaning it

With Every Fiber

Of my being

While

Holding you in

My arms and

Opening myself up

To all that

Life offers us.

Yes

That is the

Day I so

Look forward to.

21 Days of Gratitude for Love: Day 7

Today I was reminded in a song that love teaches us lessons. Boy has love taught me lessons, lots and lots of lessons, very important lessons. How to love, when to love, why to love and ways to love. One important lesson that I was recently reminded of was the need to love myself. Long live love!

In Love

By: Annette Thomas

To fall in love

With myself is

When I discovered

I could love another

And this was ok.

My heart and mind

Free from the illusion

Of oppression.

Support and love

Surrounded my soul

And I was happy.

Happy to be me

And happy to love

Another unconditionally.
