Elizabeth and Michael's Garden of Love

[barn888]

Awwwww, how cute Rosy. I bet they'll love their new home with you over at the malt shoppe. We seem to have a wealth of them around here. Michael and I have the 4 of our's now these three cuties. Lucky little kitties!


Barn sweetie, you keep cutting my roses down and leaving them for Michael and I, there won't be a garden left. lol


Hugs you guys, have a great one!

No no no, sweetie, anytime I leave flowers for you they're ones that I bought, I'd never cut the flowers here in the garden.

You’re The Reason Why

I've looked back to find all the reasons why things were meant to happen between you and I. I found a true friend and lover that captured my heart, that destiny put us together and can’t tear us apart. I want you here with me, it feels so right, the way it’s meant to be. We fit together like we are one. Chosen for each other and that can’t be undone. I will always be there for you through the end of time. Because you are the absolute reason why.

I love you, Elizabeth

I return to the tranquility of our garden after a busy day. I tend to the kittens and light a fire, then take pen in hand to make a journal entry . . .

It seems ages since my love and I have nestled together in front of the fireplace or strolled the flowery paths of our garden. The times we are apart, even though only hours, seem a vacant infinity. I miss Elizabeth. Together we watch each new morning emerge, and together we watch each evening vanish. But the hours between, the hours apart, are so long. Like all who must leave behind their magic, the time away from one's soulmate is hectic and we are told our tasks are important. But in our hearts we know what is important.

I close the journal and place it on the fireplace mantle next to a shiny pebble I have brought home today.

Eternity, my love.

Upon waking today, I shower and dress in something a little warmer for you can feel the cool breezes of autumn in the air. I choose a lovely chenille sweater of amethyst color and black slacks to be worn with a pair of black leather ballerina slippers.

Going downstairs I walk over to the fireplace to stir the embers, then adding more wood to it, I watch the flames catch and begin dancing and leaping behind the fireplace screen.

Now that the fire is burning brightly, I follow the kittens that have been waiting so patiently into the kitchen to place some food in their bowls and fresh water to quench their thirst.

Standing up, turning, my eyes find the beautiful roses on the kitchen table that Michael and I cut almost a week ago. Their beauty is untouched, as though just cut, and I am reminded of the magic of the garden and the love, we share, that fuels it.

Once in a lifetime, my love...



Once in a lifetime,
you find someone special,
your lives intermingle,
and somehow you know . . .

This is the beginning
of all you have longed for,
a love you can build on,
a love that will grow . . .

Once in a lifetime,
to those who are lucky,
a miracle happens
and dreams all come true--

I know it can happen,
it happened to me, for I've found
my "once in a lifetime"
with you.

Having left the pool for the night, we walk hand in hand the couple of blocks home. Michael leans down to open the gate, allowing us to head up the walkway to the door. Finding a key in my pocket, I unlock and push the door open as we step in.

Michael leaves my side and moves up the stairs, calling out that he will start a fire in our bedroom to ward against the chill that is now a fixture with the arrival of fall.

As he finishes his task, I walk into the kitchen to pamper the kittens, having been gone all day, then watch them settle in their basket for the night.

Turning out the lights and locking up as I go, I head up the stairs to join my love, finding him already in bed with a smile. I cross the room, dropping clothing as I go, to climb into the huge bed and snuggle against his chest. As I feel his arms wrap around me, I whisper "I love you" just before drifting off to sleep.

As I lay in the arms of my lover on another sacred night, sleep comes gently, as does the dream . . .

. . . we are in our garden on a bright blessed day, strolling hand-in-hand. We say “How do you do” to SecretScribe, to Rosy, and to the man whose eyes twinkle and forehead glistens. We stop to listen to the honeyed rasp of his voice . . .

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I watch 'em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....warm sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin'.. how do you do
They're really sayin'......I love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world . . .

. . . he dabs his forehead with a white handkerchief, then his dream image dissolves into an vision of Elizabeth in our garden, barefoot with an anklet of flowers, her auburn hair ringed with a golden tiara, her green eyes glistening in the morning light . . .

~

In the morning I awaken, still in Elizabeth’s embrace. I gently leave her a kiss as the kittens and I go outside to greet the new day. The clouds of white glow against the deep blue sky. I spot the colors of the rainbow, and my eyes trace it’s path to a spot where I imagine the pot of gold.

My furry friends and I amble that direction, through the roses in full bloom, for in this mystical garden the flowers blossom forever. I reach the rainbow’s end and admire the beauty and serenity of this place. I hear her footsteps and turn to see her, barefoot, green eyes glistening in the morning sun. Without need for words I take Elizabeth’s hand in mine so we might stroll together through our garden as I revel in the magic her love has brought into my life.

A glint of golden light catches my eye, and I turn to see where I’d imagined the rainbow’s end.

On the ground lay a gleaming trumpet.

Dropping of a little something for Michael:

Through eternity, darling, and beyond.

 

[EarthquakeMan]

Elizabeth, you are . . .

. . . An Angel Heaven Sent

I can see heaven through your eyes
The beauty of peace thats above the skies
The flowers all blooming and gracefully dance
with love and laughter full of romance.

In the distance I hear the angels sing
and feel the wisp of the angels wings
Gracefuly floating all through the air
beauty surrounding me, many places to go, but I'm not sure where.

I see these visions all through your eyes
My heart is open for me to visualize
The message of eternity that you brought to me
for my eyes only, you let me see.

Inner peace and love of all in heavens gate
It's a moment in time I won't be late
I want to spread to all the place I went
The vision from an Angel Heaven Sent.

True Love

You and I
Our hearts are bound
By much more than just love
It goes so deeply
And feels so intense
We wonder what we have found
Is it a spell
We ask ourselves
As it goes beyond all reason
It reaches our soul
And takes control
Of all our body and mind
So now we ask what did we find
That causes such intense feelings?
It is true love in the deepest sense
For the two of us, you and I

Walking into the living I see you are sitting in your favorite chair, reading a book. The site of you compels me to come and crawl into your lap. You glance away from your book for a moment and smile at me. As I sit there, head nuzzled against your chest and shoulder, I enjoy the simple pleasure of being close to you. It is so quiet in the room that I can hear your steady heartbeat in my ear.

Your scent fills my nostrils and sends a pleasure signal through my body....I love the smell of you! I cannot resist tipping my head up and nipping your earlobe gently with my teeth, then kissing it to make up for the bite! Next I kiss your neck as my hand caresses your firm chest. I can feel your heart beating harder under my fingertips. Still reading your book, your hand reaches to touch my hair. I love it when you run your fingers through my hair, it always feels so good.

After a time I sit up and kiss the corner of your full, sensual lips. Once again you glance away from your book and you look into my eyes...I see a spark of interest in them! I press my lips gently against your's and feel you returning the pressure. Our lips part and our tongues tentatively touch. Little shivers of electricity run down my spine at that first contact! We share a slow, sweet kiss for a few moments...I hear your book drop to the floor as both your arms wrap around me and you hold me closer to you. The kiss grows more passionate...tongues dancing together...hearts racing...hands roaming...our passion soaring! Oh what a wonderful moment!

Finally we part...a small sigh escapes me at the loss of contact. You smile down at me with fire in your eyes as one arm slips under my knees and the other under my arms. As you stand and start to walk towards the bedroom, you hear me whisper softly, I love you and need you, darling.
