So another Valentines Day has been and gone on February 14th,with all that goes with it. Forgotten, hidden from or ignored by some, prompted by others or perhaps even eagerly awaited by fervent lovers, and boy does this world need some love at the moment! Love is all consuming and touches people of all ages, so if you are lucky enough to be enjoying love at the moment, then rock on and go for it.
To coincide with the “love time” I was again on the Sylvie Blackmore show on BBC Radio Sussex, Surrey etc Sunday 13th February at 15.40, to read out one of my most popular romance poems! Which one Laurie? Well if you missed it you can you can hear the recording on BBC Radio Sussex 13/2/22 Sylvie Blackmore show and I’m on about 1 hour 39 minutes in.
Let us get started with the love then, assuming that is you survived all the posturing, testing and nerve of trying to attract your muse, but from my 2nd book comes…..
Arrival of Love
When love arrives the first time
You will never be quite the same,
Despite wise words of people older
Your heart is hobbled, you are lame.
For you will think you know it all
With the fluttering thrill of love,
Turning grey into a blinding light
As if sent down by heaven above.
You no longer walk about, but fly
Fuelled by compliments that flowed,
From your lover, this faultless one
Who all their love on you bestowed.
So your soaring heart glows bright,
Within your very soul and breast.
Marring sight and convincing you
That you’ll pass your every test.
Your head will try hard to steer
A safe course of sense and welfare,
But your heart will not be cooled
From loves bright, saintly glare.
Dreams of wonder and dancing joy
Will swell into the heart and soul,
At the very sight of the one you love
Who makes the bells of Utopia toll.
For they can never do any wrong
And will love you all your years,
With their body, heart and kisses
And be your armour against all fears.
For you will think you know it all
With the fluttering thrill of love,
And the finding of your soul mate
Whose body fits you like a glove.
So walk in wonder, sun and light
Alongside your angel, who has fed
Your very breath, thought and being
That your heart rules, not your head!

Do you remember or even still have that love feeling making your heart skip? I really hope you do!
A romantic fact you might not know, but very nice anyway, is that penguins have just one partner for life mainly, and it is reported (by who though?) apparently that on occasions a pair don’t get on they have a “penguin divorce” and start again.
From my 3rd book now comes a very popular poem at my reading gigs, =
Feeling Special
When we’re together I am somewhere
But lost and nowhere when I’m alone,
For with you I can skip and cartwheel
Though if apart my heart’s a stone.
So secretly I’ll be your personal ghost
All around, watching with my stare,
I am the out breath, when in you breathe
And I’m the wind that blows your hair.
Thus note the trembling at your sleeve
And feel the itch you cannot scratch,
Because I’m the warm light that shines
Like darkness lit by a match!
When we’re together I am somewhere
But lost and nowhere when I’m alone,
For with you I can skip and cartwheel
Though if apart my heart’s a stone!
Should you feel sensation at your blouse
Or some finite movement at your skirt,
And heartbeats move to unfelt rhythm
It’s just me protecting you from hurt.
Be not afraid when you see a shadow
Or feel a touch, moth like at the ear,
It’s just my presence come to love you
And ensure safe passages you steer.
So have no fear of the world around you
Even lightning strikes from above,
Because you’re safe within an armour
Fashioned by my spirits love.

Another romantic little story you may not know and that concerns doves, or turtle doves, as signs of love, coming from Greek Mythology where doves pulled the chariot of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and thus the doves are associated as “love birds”, good a?
Last poem then and for “Radio Checkers” you may recognise this poem, and from my 7th book, (a list of all my books and how to get them is at the end) comes :-
Sensations of Love
From lovestruck teen to an older heart
Love can arrive and catapult you,
To unscaled heights and sensations
With many vibrant feelings anew,
Soaring and gliding across the skies
Like operatic arias touching your core.
In fact you are so moved and ecstatic
You feel a need to beg for more.
So mesmerised by a dazzling light
That seems to shine right inside,
Your very secret, inner soul
Leaving nowhere left to hide.
For like a melting of frozen lakes
Washing all the icebergs away,
A controlling spirit leads you
To another rapturous day.
Thus stunned and filled with wonder
You walk majestically about,
Believing whatever comes now
Will be joyous without a doubt.
For slowly you come to realise
Some great miracle has occurred,
Brought by this faultless muse
That your whole being has stirred.
So who is this magnificent angel
And how did they spread such love?
For you now believe you’re flying
Alongside passing clouds above.
The sun is now in your pocket
With many other exhilarations.
As you have come to realise
You’re caught by loves sensations.

So that ends my quick skip through love and an annual special day, but I prefer to have my “special days” when I want them, and not as prescribed, but no matter as long as you have them and don’t miss out…
