Knowing Each Other

To a Lady who I have come to admire

with the time spent in all of our talks,

Strolling down the beach opening floodgates of

knowledge and emotions during these walks.

Helping each other thru all of the negative

memories of our past in timely little spurts,

Seeing each other speak full of emotions as

the talks grow longer about all of our past hurts.

Letting each other into our lives so each

other can see and feel the others pain,

Knowing when to stop and move in a different

direction where we can move towards and gain.

Watching the emotions change to positive

with the words spoken which cause a smile,

This is where our hearts open wide to let us share

our love which has not been shared for awhile.

Holding each other when we are in our

own homes so we do not feel out of place,

This is not because of being embarrassed about

being together but rather being in our own space.

Showing how we feel for each other

when our friends and others are around,

Just not quite all of the happiness, trust

and mutual respect we both have found.

So here is to you my newly found Soul mate

no matter what any other may actually say,

Today is for just us to celebrate what we have

together on this very special Valentine’s Day.

When You Love Someone

When you Love someone

with all of your Heart,

You forgive them for all of their

past mistakes from the start.

Helping them get over all

the suffering from the past ,

Knowing you have found

your partner in life at last.

Seeing the look in their eyes the

very first time and seeing them shine,

They sparkle and glimmer like

a glass of very tasty red wine.

Feeling the emotion building up

close to each other's heart of ice,

Both thinking it is all supposed to be

happy and full of sugar and spice.

Everyone knows you get what you put

into something from where you begin,

You start with Honesty from the start

which shows the power from within.

Looking forward to the days of

your lives of happiness ahead,

Feeling all of the Love that is shared

helping get rid of your pasts you all dread.

Accepting this from someone

else is the hardest to do as it is true,

Scared of being hurt and depression

setting in and turning your Heart blue.

When this happens do not push away

accept the emotion with open arms,

Return the warmth from your Heart

to the other with all of your charms.

Giving all your positive emotions of

Love and caring with one another,

Showing how you really feel deep

down inside towards each other.

Letting each other and everyone around

know how you feel giving the other hope,

Never giving up on each other or making

each other feel like they are hanging by a rope.

Feeling right then this is the right person

to be in your life and your Heart will not be burned,

Knowing where your Love is going and

being accepted while true Love is being returned.

This is when you have found the person you

may give your Heart with all your trust,

Where all that is shown to you and from you

is pure and true Love not someone else's Lust.

My Angel of Hope

The Beauty within you

shows in any light,

For any man’s eyes

your a glowing sight.

You bring to me all

I really need to live,

Everything around me

was all yours to give.

I feel the energy you

pass to me to have hope,

Showing me the way

from the sliding slopes.

Never promising of

things getting better,

Just showing me the

way to become a go-getter.

Filling me with the

love that I really need,

To show others how

to plant a positive seed.

Giving the courage to

move our lives ahead,

Moving away from the

negative things we dread.

You come around when

I am so down and out,

Picking me up when

I am ready to shout.

Showing me there is more

to life than wanting to die,

Just tell the truth instead

of wanting to tell a lie.

Letting me see your beauty

and colorful flying wings,

Guiding me down my

path where my Angel sings.

My Angel of Hope I have

finally met you once more,

You give me hope and

emotional support galore.

The Final Straw

I have had a Lesson to learn of trusting

Females that are born on a certain day,

There has been 3 of these turned to Lover's

that were fateful I really do have to say.

First one came when I was down

and out with nothing but doubt,

Being very honest to start off

with except she liked to pout.

Still being married with children

involved not wanting a Divorce,

Using the knowledge we gained

of a Daughter in trouble for no recourse.

This was what she would fall back

on and use them for an excuse.

Working together in the same trade when

I was at work the men she would peruse.

The Second one came to me when

I was happy and clearly see things,

When I met her all I could see was bright

green fields where my Angel sings.

She came into my life for

a brief one and half years,

When she left everything went

with her including the tears.

Being unfortunate of having the

same day of Birth as the one before,

Always being told by her that I

was trying to even a past score.

Number three came to me from

out of the blue and into my life,

Difference between her and the

first two was she was no man's wife.

Bringing with her all of her leftover

residual of past pain and sorrow,

Giving no hope of seeing what may

happen with us past tomorrow.

Always pushing and shoving

us totally emotionally apart,

This is what all Three of them

did right from the very start.

Pushing me away to another

Woman and into her arms,

Leaving me there to fall and

stay within her Magical charms.

With all of this that has happened

and made me feel at the end of my rope,

Thru all of this chaos and sorrow I have

been blessed to have found My Angel of Hope.

My Angel of Hope has given me the

strength to make the Negativity end,

Now to send out to the Ladies of the

past it is Love & Light I do send.

Michael Derowin

And more to come!

Enjoy the Celebration of Love.

Hello Sara!

I have been a bad Boy!

This man deserves a much better recognition and I have not done my home work well. I promise to better myself and give my real aspects on Michael Devorin. What he writes is deep conscious messages that very few have the ability to understand and to follow. GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL. I should be shamed for not giving the right support.

This Greek very with deep message (click on Michale) is to show my apology and respect. The song is difficult to translate. The music is a message to all of us.

To serve the soul is not as easy as many may think
CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL
GOD GIVES A SIGN IN YOU

MIKIS THEODORAKIS
"THE FREE BESIEGED"

Click for something very special

Michael I am sorry! There are no excuses to say why I did not visit your forums.
I am proud for Sara for making this extra ordinary introduction.

Truth hurts sometime.The song above gives the real feelings. You don't need to understand the words the music is speaking

Hello Sara :-)

Great forum!

CONGRATULATION MICHAEL
for your wonderful poetry and for your well handled talent!

((youtube id="Ut8llZYeD5E"))((/youtube))

- this is a song by the lyrics of our great poet

Mihai Eminescu

So Fresh Thou Art...

So like the sweet, white cherry blossom,
So tender and so fresh thou art,
And on my life's way like an angel
Appearing thou dost light impart.

Thou scarcely touchest the soft carpet,
The silk on thee doth rustling stream,
From top to toe so light and lofty,
Thou floatest like an airy dream.

From draping folds like purest marble
Thine image unto me appears,
My whole soul on thine eyes is hanging,
Those eyes so full of joy and tears.

O happy dream of love, so happy,
Thou bride of fairy tales, so mild,
No, do not smile! Thy smille doth show me
How sweet thou art, thou gentle child.

My poor eyes thou canst close for ever
With deepest night's eternal charms,
With thy sweet lips' sweet fondling, whispers,
Embracing me with thy cool arms.

A veiling thought at once now passes
Thy glowing eyes thus covering:
It is the dark renunciation,
The sweetest yearning's shadowing.

Thou go'st away and, well I know it,
To follow thee must I no more,
Thou art for me now lost for ever,
My soul's dear bride, whom I adore.

My only guilt was that I saw thee,
Which I to pardon have no might,
Mine arm I'll stretch for ever vainly
To expiate my dream of light.

Like holy Virgin's purest image
In my fond eyes thou will rise now,
The brightest crown on forehead bearing,
Where dost thou go? When comest thou?

(1879, Translated by P. Grimm)

I very much hope you enjoyed this! This is where my mind flyed reading your poems!
With friendship,
Anamaria

Hello again Michael :-)

As soon as you liked Eminescu's Poem, I thought you'd love to read another one!
I'm doing my best to choose the best translation I found!

Mihai Eminescu

O Remain

"O remain, dear one, I love you,
Stay with me in my fair land,
For your dreamings and your longings
Only I can understand.

You, who like a prince reclining
Over the pool with heaven starred;
You who gaze up from the water
With such earnest deep regard.

Stay, for where the lapping wavelets
Shake the tall and tasseled grass,
I will make you hear in secret
How the furtive chamois pass.

Oh, I see you wrapped in magic,
Hear your murmur low and sweet,
As you breqk the shallow water
With your slender naked feet;

See you thus amidst the ripples
Which the moon's pale beams engage,
And your years seem but an instant,
And each instant seems an age."

Thus spake the woods in soft entreaty;
Arching boughs above me bent,
But I whistled high, and laughing
Out into the open went.

Now though even I roamed that country
How could I its charm recall ...
Where has boyhood gone, I wonder,
With its pool and woods and all?

(Translated by Corneliu M. Popescu)

Sara,

I want to thank-you for the honor of being chosen as the POTM for February. This is the month of Romance, Friendship, and Love to blossom for everyone.

Romance

Strolling down the street on our way to the

restaurant to have an early dinner,

Knowing that when we met our connection

was so strong it showed to everyone as a winner.

Walking arm in arm with our heads against

one another bringing us closer together,

It is not that far of a walk so we thought it was nice

enough to face the elements and weather.

On the short stroll there running into and

talking with everyone we meet,

Being as talkative as we all are at times which

made us get inside and off the street.

Staying out on the street so long just about made us

miss our time for our dinner appointment,

Even though those we were speaking with were

unexpected as we expressed our consent.

Finding out how other’s looked at us with an

outsiders point of view and how we look,

Never really caring of what other’s really thought

only what we knew it really took.

When looking back on this as we grow and

are able to see these past years,

We will be able to laugh so hard it may just bring

our joy and happiness out in tears.

With all of this being said and done about

how we were matched from above.

There is one thing in life that has been proven

over the years is the power of Love,

Now is the time to grow as long as we are

together while we get very old,

Knowing everything about each other will stop

our veins of Love from going cold.
