Love Letter No 71 - Incompetent Love

Dear J,
When you are on my mind nothing else matters, nothing. Please don't hold me accountable, but I forgot the bread, forgot to stop by the cleaners, or wound up a half hour late because I waited for the bouquet while the florist arranged it on the spot.

I plead incompetent love. When I do
the foolish instead of the logical, it's
because I was thinking of you instead
of thinking at all. It must seem silly for
a grown up to act like this, yet I am
smitten. I am in a perpetual "Walter Mitty"
haze.

No, I don't want to shake it. I don't need to
be rescued. It is profoundly incompetent
love, and to the unaware I appear vacant,
gazing into neverland, transfixed with
a sudden smile.

With deep and tender affection,

LarryG

Love Letter No 64 - Unfinished Love

Dear C,

My mind has been turning the word over
and over, "unfinished". It means so
much to me, this word and how it
describes who we are, where we are,
how we are in the thick of love together,
struggling with life, coexisting, supporting,
diverging and then reemerging closer than
before and discovering the "unfinished" borders
of life together.

Completion is a fine thing to apply to tasks in life,
well defined goals that are met mean a sense of
accomplishment. Yet, for us, my deepest
hope is for discovery, not arrival.
My hope is to explore, finding happiness,
together each day. We aren't about
"pie in the sky", it's the messy guts
of love and life together where we sort
the dreams one by one and then make
it happen.

We'll always find our greatest wealth, in
"unfinished" love.

With deep and tender affection,

LarryG

Love Letter No 58 - Butterfly Love

Dear K,
It's the stillness of the forest with stream, of a field with grass waving and clouds breezing overhead, of the park bench near fountain's bubbling, a quietness where I can feel me being me, each beat of my heart bringing rhythm to my thoughts of you. And then, the butterfly spreads wings, drifts, flits, floats and lands on the hand. The wings pulsing open and closed as my heart thrills to sense your presence with me. Wasn't this small comfort what I had been hoping for all along, a breath of air, touch of an angel, harmony in the song through the willows, a serene request that ambition be laid aside.
Then, quiet as a suckled babe, I lie still, full of hope, on your breast and listen, to the stillness, the winds, the bubbling, the quiet love, the butterfly flits away.

With deep and tender affection,

L

Love Letter No 42 - United Love

Dear S,
From the first moment we lit up united. Inside me, inside you, between the two, "a connect" happened. Our gaze, our talk, our thoughts, it was definitely a "there" moment. Life whispers in your ear, "now, step up, here you go." United was on our minds.

So the conversation continues, "this table shifts", "I'll hold my foot on it", "how did we get here", "arrivals happen when gracious hearts open freely", and on and on, and the time is gone. United was in our hearts.

A few minutes together, doing each day what is important, that makes union.
That makes unity. That makes us united.

Why am I the lucky one?

With deep and tender affection,

L

Love Letter No 37 - Breve Love

Dear N,
I could enjoy a "cup of you"
It would go a long long way.
Love,

the heart's domain

(for N)

The heart and it's domain, its throne ascended,
Attained and held, now, both strong and attached.
Princess, now upon the ensconced pedestal,
Alighted, revoked abdication as intended.

This realm, its situate for keenest observation,
The ebb and flow of ocean's surging tides,
Or gaze to darkest night the sparkling stars
Yes, communion sweet with nature's conversation.

More meets the eye watching one's own interior,
The gaze turn's fixed, oh so gentle must it be.
Watching all the workings, intellect, spirit,
And emotions bring their gifts for sights superior.

Love Letter No 20 - Overflow Love

Dear Bond,

When artistry and love join hands creativity releases the newness of the moment.

Love has taken up the pencil and begun to sketch the mosaic of our heart’s desire. Woven into this tapestry are colors of emotion. Green shades of growth, yellow tones of hope, azure blue of soaring, deep purples of passion, reds of heartsongs, colors shading the sketching. For love is the outline, not a rule, not forced, more a suggestion and an encouragement. Those lines of love are not there to constrain. The lines of love are there, like tiers of an overflowing fountain's cascades, love’s sketch is designed to overflow with the beauty of all the colors of life.

Share this brush. We will paint this town, this world, our lives and the lives of all around us with the breathtaking majestic colors of love.

And the colors of love live on,

I love you,

Larryg

glimpsed, then touched

To discover great beauty is excitement mixed with purest joy.
------------------------

this face so kind to light's cooperative giving,
and then to find, light of beauty living,
ultimate grace between seen and viewed,
in day's brightness or evening shades subdued,
exchange takes place, charming interaction,
just glimpsing brings divine satisfaction,
confidence yields, budding expectation,
smiling invigorates, source of excitation,
beauty shared! purpose filled complete,
heart is touched, oh daring, extreme feat!

Love Letter No 10 - Simple Love

Write a love letter and share it...

Okay here's my "Simple Love" letter.

----------------------
Dear Z,

The two of us sharing our hearts, minds, bodies, souls.

No recipe or formula can pull it off, it is much easier than that.

We keep things simple.

Talking to one another means so much. There is bedrock in our love because we speak our hearts to one another.

I am thinking of when we last kissed, how precious, sweet, passionate that was. And how those kisses simplify the statement our energy makes together.

Simple sharing, simple giving, simple love.

I love you.

L
