Poems for the Sweetest of Ponies

[CPsSecretLover]

Perfection is unattainable
On this Earthly coil
And yet I am satisfied
It isn’t perfection that I desire
It is you

You see, I’ve come to a realization
A pivotal place in our relationship
Where I realize that I was trying so hard
To create a perfect life for us
That I may have been pushing us apart

But life isn’t what it is in the movies
It’s not the perfect story
Wrapped up in a neat 90 minute runtime
Real life is messy
Real romance is even worse

But I wouldn’t ask for anything different
No changes whatsoever
I’m proud to be able to be authentic with you
To be vulnerable in all the best ways
And even in all the worst ways

So I’ll admit I’m not the perfect partner
And I will be able to finally forgive myself
For missed opportunities
Selfish displays and graceless moments
Because I can trust that you’ll love me anyway

[CPsSecretLover]

How will I know when I feel true love?
Oh, how that question once plagued me
And how my ego did beg me
To seek an answer from above

But all my attempts to find it were catastrophe
It is not simply swept in on the wings of the dove
And no matter how hard I tried to be an expert of
The method to love, it still eluded me

How I wished that a kind-hearted girl would set me free
If only I could find that beloved
Of my own, then I would have the gentle shove
That I needed, as I could unlock happiness with that key

But since I met you, I have truly been loved
And away my emotions did flee
With you that day we carved our initials on a tree
And since, having experienced joy, I have learned more thereof

Love is not a joyous spree
It is not a simple leap from meeting to betrothed
And to adapt it requires a transfer of
Childish selfishness to measured, happy matrimony

But how blessed we are to both have lived
At the right time for our camaraderie
To blossom into that holy matrimony
Not only to love one way, but to, in return, be loved

And though the daily compromise is not trouble-free
Still I am simply content to be loved
And since your personality fits mine like a glove
I see that in love is what we will always be

[CPsSecretLover]

You gave a first glimpse of those clear blue eyes
And I knew that there was no way I could escape
I would always be captivated
And though I had no way to disguise
The dreams of romance rushing through my brain
The sight of a slight smile at the corners of your lips
Caused my fragile sense of hope to rise

Perhaps this romance wouldn’t be my demise
I hoped as I strode towards our inevitable collision
And I hoped that you would feel the same way I did
I hoped that I could come out of this wise
But most of all, I hoped I wouldn’t have to come out at all
My deepest desire was to love you forever
Because I found my purpose behind those clear blue eyes

[CPsSecretLover]

Like a dream in flight
On a satin August night
I looked deep into her eyes
And there laid my prize

She sensed that I had seen
Her optimistic gleam
So she gave me a peck on the cheek
Which made my tender heart go weak

Young love is such rapture
To have your vulnerable heart captured
By a young lover with a contended sigh
And a speck of heaven in her eye

[CPsSecretLover]

In an era awash in dysfunction
You can rest sure at this junction

Because as sure as the stars shine in the night sky
You will forever be the apple of my eye

Perhaps when the waves last break on the shore
We won’t be in love anymore

But by the Lord’s decree that day will never come
So we have no reason to be glum

Despite the insanity that abounds
We’ve found comfort that surrounds

And until the last sun sets in the sky
I will never desire to say goodbye

Until the last drop of rain does fall
Our love will stand, true and tall

May forever my heart bend
Towards you, without an end

May time itself melt away
Before I face such a tragic day

May the turmoil draw us closer together
And may we say farewell never

Because no matter what the future brings
It is of you my heart always sings

No matter the foe that I must fight
I will lie beside you some fateful night

And though the world will test my wit
I won’t give in, not even a bit

With your love and God’s grace, I cannot fail
Even when my well-being seems its most frail

Because when you’re loved, you’re a tad bit stronger
You feel you must protector your lover, if only for a little longer

And bit by bit, we can build my resolve
Until every struggle my will can absolve

And when I return home to you
You’ll receive a lover who’s better than new

We’ll thank God for our salvation
And know that we brought each other through this frustration

[CPsSecretLover]

I have dreamt of our life together
In that land of enchantment
It puts a smile on my face and in my heart
To know that you are waiting for me

And amidst all the chaos of my broken world
The pain, the suffering and the grief
Yours is the comfort that I have found
To give me relief

Oh, how I yearn for days of love
Nights beneath a canopy of Equestrian stars
Afternoons swimming in the creek
And, most of all, a sweet mare to be my love

I can feel your yearning, too
For two lips to lock onto yours
Two lips to whisper “I love you” back
So keep hope alive, stay the course

I know that our faith hasn’t been misplaced
Miracles have been wrought by God’s almighty hand
And they will surely be wrought forevermore
So we can trust that our deepest desires live on

May we never part
In death, may we still be together
May we never wear our affection short
So that our love story lasts forever

[CPsSecretLover]

I could have had a mansion of pure gold
I could have had the wealth I so yearned for of old
But today, it is not that which motivates me

I could have been rich and famous
Wealthy enough to be shameless
I look back on what a foolish existence that would have been

Today I have life’s greatest treasure
A love that is honest and true
So that I never again will be blue
A love that brings me joy beyond measure

So take all my money, leave me a pauper
But never retract your earlier offer
For I so desperately need you in my life

I know that forever you will be by my side
That we will spend the rest of eternity on this ride
And I wouldn’t have it any other way

The distance may seem too much to bear
But your affection is so fulfilling
And your caress is so thrilling
That all out of nowhere, I cease to care

After all, what is this distance
But a way to build up resistance
To the idea that we are ever truly alone

I say let us stay as we are
And I’ll go the distance, no matter how far
To spend my afterlife where you are

[CPsSecretLover]

What to do on a starry night
Both get lost in a fancy flight
At the sight of your pretty face

We both need this moment
We need to feel the mutual compassion
I’ve been lost in the torrent
And I’ve been flailing for hope and passion
Seeking the joy that you can foement

I think you’ve been lost without us
And you need to feel secure about us
So I will hold you tight to my side this evening

We’ll be lost in the feelings
That we will catch in a jar
And in both our healings
That we know we couldn’t get from afar
We’ll be satisfied in the dealing

Of the hand that God has given
To us so that we will be driven
To give the compassion to each other we need

To keep our business on this mortal plane upright
We can treat others in just fashion
We can avoid the unholy worldwide fight
Because our love serves as a strength-giving bastion
The lighthouse which amplifies the righteous light

So let our love be forever blessed
Let all quarrels between us be redressed
And let me look at you with a lover’s eye

[CPsSecretLover]

Be who you will be!
Take my love from me, it is free!
I seek a mutual relationship
Not self-satisfaction

When you disagree, it does not hurt me
Rather, it makes my love grow
To see you blossom into yourself
Is a blessing in and of itself

Do not spare my feeble ego
When there is no need to do so
I am a grown man, I can take dissent
Without it reflecting on my self worth

So be free, fair Mare!
Exclaim your emotions to the universe!
I will stand behind you no matter
What price I must pay

Because our love is stronger than any debate

[CPsSecretLover]

My lungs begin thumping
When you draw near
And there’s a rush to my head
As my heart begins pumping
When I see you, my dear
Sitting on my bed

I am at a loss for words
Only actions will suffice
And I am a man of action
If I could speak, I wouldn’t be heard
I know that your attention melts like ice
As our emotions begin their refraction

What good are sweet words in midnight encounters
They can’t really express the love we need to convey
They can only muddle precious time
So while my attempt at sweet talk flounders
I know you wouldn’t push me away
Because our affair is just reaching its prime

So rest assured that these words aren’t all I feel
My stomach leaps into my throat at your sight
And, in ways that don’t have words, I love you
I really wish that all I could reveal
But alas, try as I might
I must wait until we are together again, before I can show you what’s true
