The Friday Fling Celebrates Anniversaries!
Friday Fling #268 for January 24th 2014
Tomorrow is your host’s 45th wedding anniversary.
So our theme this week is anniversaries.
What important one(s) figure in your life and why?
No particular format this week,
use your muse’s preferred method of expressing yourself
This week the Friday Fling celebrates anniversaries!
Be sure to save time to read and comment
on your fellow Pals’ anniversary verses.
Then go enjoy this mid-winter weekend
This was posted a bit late. My wife and I went out for an early anniversary dinner celebration. You see our real anniversary is also the birthday of one of our grandsons, so we are saving that evening for a birthday party for him.
I hope this theme stirs your muse to write about your own favorite anniversary in your own special way.
This was written in 2006 when we had already been married 37 years, but also explains the significance of our 45th wedding anniversary coming up soon.
WHEN HEARTS WERE JOINED
How I longed for someone dear
Oh how I dreamed of love
Needing, wanting, one to be
My sunshine from above.
And then she came along one day
So beautiful and kind
Responsiveness, attentiveness
Incredible to find!
She danced with me so closely that
We sensed our hearts kept pace
And when we kissed at sunset time
We first felt love’s embrace.
She thought I was an intellect
Of merit she believed
And I was all of that for her
Such virtue she retrieved!
We played at chess and chattted thus
Until the evening came
And then we kissed and kissed and kissed
Until our lips were lame.
We dated once a week or more
For two or three more years
Then knew we both that we were meant
To overcome all fears
———————————<3
We clung beneath a blanket soft
One night in Highland Park
An opera in bowl performed
A summer evening lark.
Don Giovanni it was called
So thrilling in its time
And moreso then with lovers new
To swoon upon the rhyme
And sing our hearts like actors did
Performing our own play
beneath a blanket soft and warm
Love's language two could say.
She pressed to me, I held to her
We followed lovers' way
Beneath the stars our hearts were joined
As light is fixed to day.
————————————-<3
Her eyes said she was mine to have
And I was hers to take
In darkened drive-in movie field
We both shared lovers' slake
Then twice in summer fields we loved
In naked summer heat
Such ecstacy as dreams are made
And more, and did repeat!
Then hand in hand through countless fields
And forests of this life
We stayed together, lived as one
As husband and as wife.
But once we went our separate ways
A parting of the two
But common roots still drew us back
Together where we grew.
————————————–<3
Yet once a life a man can say
He truly loved the first
When decades pass, and still they're one
Commitments cannot burst
The bounds and bonds that welded us
Together for this time
Between the joys and sorrow lie
Adhesive love sublime.
Now comfort here between us reigns
A satisfying calm
The learning, leaning give and take
Becomes a pleasing balm.
Yet nevermore we lived the time
Though many joys we've known
That evening in Highland Park
When two hearts first were sewn.
This is just a made up piece and just what came to me outta me head .. Not really an anniversary .. But could be .. Hope will so enjoy .. Hugzzzzzzs .. 🙂
