You are who I see
When I first open my eyes
My love has arrived

                                                               It's not what is said
                                                               It's how it's stated;
                                                               It's not what you write
                                                               It's how it's written;
                                                               It's not what's implied
                                                               It's what's inferred.

                                                                                       BJ Neblett

My severed heart cries
Your razor desire cuts
Love pools at my feet

                     BJ Neblett

                                                           The lives of a man are measure in his dreams.

Monday February 2 A Month Of Love from BJ Neblett

Enjoy. Then click the link on the right to my writer's blog for this week's love story!

Sometimes, dreams come true...

Maybe it's intuition/
But some things you just don't question/
Like in your eyes I see my future in an instant/
And there it goes I think I found my best friend

The Gift

Once I was a lover
Through youthful eyes I saw
The world a brightly wrapped package
Each dawn Christmas day

My heart I sent before me
Its glow lit my path
The girls who did abide me
I loved them everyone

With poems wise and tender
With songs both sweet and sad
My love boxed gay and brightly
A gift of the pilgrim soul

Many a heart would tarry
Many a breast would sing
Each gentle touch a promise
And every kiss a lie

Each moon would enrapture
Each sun revealed the truth
The package prized and desired
The gift inside ignored

And so my soul did wander
Cold years marked my path
Unopened and unwanted
My gift inside to die

Love’s song but a memory
Heart’s glow a flickering light
Through dimming eyes I saw you
A rose against the snow

My gift all but forgotten
The wrappings torn and brown
You took the love within me
Unquestioned for your own


Thanks. Please be sure to like, link, comment and share the love. You'll find this week's love story by clicking the link to my writer's blog on the right.

Easter Sunday, 2014

I bought a bouquet
of tulips yesterday.
They reminded me of you.
The farmer’s market
where I bought them
was busy with people.
But the man selling the
tiny donuts you loved
wasn’t there.
So I had a bagel
with my Sunday paper
at Starbucks.
I placed the flowers in a vase
next to the picture
of you at the tulip
festival last year.
It made me smile.
When I returned home
from shopping
I thought you were here.
But it was just the scent
of the flowers.
It made me dream
of you again.
The pillow where
you lay your head
remained cold and barren.

I bought a bouquet
of tulips yesterday.
They reminded me of you.
Today I threw them
in the trash.

Said Spring To Winter by BJ Neblett

Hello and happy holidays! I'll be enjoying my birthday on the 24th (yes, a Christmas baby, better than a sack of coal!) with a quiet night, perhaps with a couple of friends. Hopefully yours will be a bit more exciting. In the mean time enjoy this new and very special poem written for a very special person. And then follow the link at the right over to my writer's blog for a short story.
Peace and love for a new year.

Said Spring To Winter

                           Said Spring to Winter            Said Winter to Spring
                              In silence we meet              Don’t ask me my name
                          Specter of my dreams                   I am just a man
                         The future in your eyes            Do not seek tomorrow
                             Uncertain but true                   And it will be yours
                            How am I to know                  Ask me no questions
                         What truths will I find                 I’ll tell you no lies
                                Your gift to me                          Take all I offer
                                 Afraid to open                        As long as it lasts
                             The longings inside            Don’t question your heart
                          Untouched and frozen              And love will be ours

If I had kissed you
Tell me what would you have done
Kiss me back or run


                                             Loving you is like walking between raindrops


                   Specter of my dreams
                   She comes to me in the night
                   Love I'll never know


Though we never kissed
Of all my loves come and gone
I miss you the most


                                   Would you hold gently
                                   If I reached to take your hand
                                   Would you understand
