When the early buds in spring begin opening (Persian / Rubiyat quatrain)

When the early buds in spring begin opening
and each bird a song of joy does sing
I see the sunshine in your golden eyes
and to me your love does great happiness bring.

I love you past reason and meaning

I love you past reason and meaning
and constantly you climb deeper into my heart
when the days disappear into oblivion
and new seasons start continually.

Even if every yesterday wants to fade

Even if every yesterday wants to fade
and I do not know what tomorrow holds
there still is something of our love
that constantly remains with me.

There is something great (Persian / Rubiyat quatrains)

There is something great when in the dark
in the distance we hear the dogs bark,
while your hand creeps warm over my chest
and your voice sounds sweet as that of the lark
 
and comfortable we lie together and cuddling
while the dove to its mate does continually sing
and even when it’s raining and thunder blasts down
being close to each other is a really great thing.

When I call your heart my home (English sonnet)

If what we have does surpass life and death,
if nothing could the essence of its presence remove,
if you are part of me and present in every breath,
then eternally it may stay as our own true love,
 
when not the smell of a flower or honey are as sweet,
when no other I can ever anywhere find
in the street or wherever I another meet
then you do fill my body, soul and mind.
 
When your commitment goes further than the body’s bliss,
as daily with kindness and forgiving our relationship does resume
then there is a kind of magic in every kiss,
then there is something special that last past even doom
 
as daily new life and strength does come
when I call your heart my home.

The time when suddenly spring does unfold (English sonnet)

The time when suddenly spring does unfold
when skies are crystal clear, sunny and blue
in blossoming trees and flowers I do behold
and still my deep feelings for you are true
 
when all of nature is gay, full of life,
when the season is more hot than temperate
and it’s a great blessing that you are my wife
that together daily we do face fate
 
and although at times you bring me pain
there is loveliness that on your face I see
and our feelings of affection and love does remain
as if by God’s own hand they are set to be
 
as if from the creation together we do belong,
still my love for you daily grows more strong.

Not too long ago (English sonnet)

Not too long ago we both knew a time of woe
but then into my life you came
and your smile on your face did glow
and never was a single day since then the same.
 
It feels that since ancient times
we have known each other from somewhere before
and these feelings are sublime
while daily we do love and adore each other even more.
 
There is something know and perfect to your face
something familiar, well loved in your speech
and I know how our feelings do daily linger as we embrace
as if forever we have know each to each
 
as if our feelings as a principle can never wear down
and I am glad, proud and honoured to call you my own.

Daily you do kiss me (English sonnet)

Daily you do kiss me as if I am forgiven
from all the hurt that the day did bring
as your happiness reaches to high heaven
and outside the wind does comforting sing
 
and there is a sweet kind of gentle emotion
while constantly we do love each other
as if following God in devotion
but with a different love than a sister and brother
 
while you are mine and I am yours
we experience something great and almost divine
as true heartfelt feelings is ours
and the essence of greatness in your eyes does shine
 
while I wonder why I am blessed as this,
when pure, kind and true our love is.

Like wrinkles on the water

Like wrinkles on the water
words and deeds circle out wider
until love is later
something more than just a decision
and even when fear and pain appears
there is a kind of balance
that goes through everything
while you and I adore each other intimately
and our time together lingers
when moments sometimes contain hours
while what we are is never narrow-minded or set
and I see somebody lovely in you
that perfectly fits into my existence, into my body,
someone that brings certainty to every when and maybe.

I love you (villanelle)

(after Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
 
I love you with feelings that are true and right,
as our relationship has come with Godly grace,
I do love you through every day and night,
 
even when times of joy are far from sight
as you make this earth a heavenly place.
I love you with feelings that are true and right,
 
while I long to be to you the companion that I might
as the depth of our feelings are sometimes without a trace,
I do love you through every day and night,
 
while you draw me nearer to the Godly light
and onward daily our lives do constantly race.
I love you with feelings that are true and right,
 
with gentleness, without any fear and fright
although my childish ways might be commonplace
I do love you through every day and night.
 
Even if for you I have got struggle and fight
have got to face the most dangerous menace;
I love you with feelings that are true and right,
I do love you through every day and night.
 
[Reference: “XLIII” “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways”]
