You Are Me
by Beth Layne Poetry on Dec.12, 2009, under Uncategorized, love poem, love poetry
In every moment I see your smile -
You should be here with me;
I long to feel your gentle touch -
But I wonder now, will this be?
Connected across time and land -
To know your heart once again;
Your boundless soul knows mine -
But this time, will my heart win?
A fleeting thought I know is yours -
A song I hear, always in my mind;
I know you are thinking of me -
But, will my heart, you find?
I can see through time and space -
But, your love I cannot see;
I can feel what others feel inside -
Separate I cannot, for you are me.
As if looking in the mirror -
To see the other side I hide;
There I am inside your heart -
Where my love will forever abide.

My Lover’s Clovers
by Beth Layne Poetry on Jul.09, 2009, under love poem, love poetry, medium poetry, spirit poem, spirit poetry, spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Skimming slowly through the grass, feet bare -
In a meditative state with the nature sounds;
Lost in my silence, not expecting you there -
And then your energy suddenly surrounds…
My eyes wide open, I see your bare foot -
Only half an inch pointing toward my own;
Just in between, a four leaf clover as if put -
By your hand, into the ground, sewn.
A warmness comes as I hold the clover -
Memories swirl of a much different time;
Brought to a halt as if all was over -
Enchanted, as I enter the sublime.
A miracle accepted, though not expected -
I go back to my enchanting, inward escape;
Then, around the corner, your foot resurrected -
And two more four leaf clovers take shape!
I expected the three for the boys and me –
Delighted you chose to acknowledge us all;
Then, my sweet girl screams with delight –
As she runs giggling toward me with her doll.
“Look, look! See what I have!” -
Squeals my excited little bumble of energy;
She holds yet another four leaf clover –
I am amazed by the miraculous synergy.
Just behind her, I hear your laugh –
So uniquely you, even from there;
Tears streaming, I am so very grateful –
You have brought the peace of my prayer.

Unlocked Treasure
by Beth Layne Poetry on Jul.09, 2009, under empathic poem, empathic poetry, love poem, love poetry
At times I’ve thought to break the silence -
That lingers still between you and I;
Uncertain if I really should do that or not -
Wondering if you’ve thought of our goodbye;
To share such, as all that we shared -
Distance between us so vast and great;
How can one just simply walk away -
From a paths that crossed by fate?
Irrational words burst through emotion -
No time to think, impatient with pain;
Angry for all I was willing to risk -
Feelings to work out, of shame.
Did not you know my heart indeed -
Or was it all for the pleasure?
Reality or fear, I still do not know -
To run from an unlocked treasure.
Risque, for sure, what I suggested -
I’d not thought to loose altogether;
Indeed, I thought to know your heart -
I’ll still treasure the memory forever.

Heaven
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.16, 2009, under love poem, love poetry, spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Escape with me to a world unknown
Where nothing matters except love and life;
Where children play without fear -
No more hardship, no more strife.
Where roses bloom throughout the winter
And grass nor trees ever die;
Where sunshine is a friend, not an enemy -
And no one is ever sad to cry.
A place where no evil egos exist
So there is never a person who is mean;
There, all the world is a splendid place -
And ugly faces are never seen.
I close my eyes and see this place
With castles cascading from the air;
Where money nor gold is a requirement -
And in all the land, nothing is unfair.
A land where people are not afraid to love
And hearts are given without fear;
Where laughter and happiness fill every day -
We’ll live for each moment year after year.

Haunted Memory
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.14, 2009, under ghost poem, ghost poetry, love poem, love poetry
To do again, what different I would do -
Perhaps, then, life would be more kind.
Forever I am haunted by your memory -
Your image, burned in my mind;
I hear your words, even still -
I know you are still here with me;
It matters not, you understand now -
For, in my mind, I still see.
My heart could set aflame wood -
So fiery, it is, with its wrath;
Nevermind what you continue to tell -
Fate set you across my path.
My heart will never be the same -
Forever changed, I live to tell;
Wrapped in the haunting of you -
Tormented by my own, private hell.
