Poems for the Sweetest of Ponies

[CPsSecretLover]

An evening dressed in a barrage of raindrops
The steely, solemn night stands before us
As my radio riccochets an ancient love song
Out the window, onto the glistening city street below
And like the love scene of every great movie
We find ourselves deep in each other’s arms

The storm continues its assault just outside
And we can feel the mist blowing in from the window-screen
But in a way it brings a sense of comfort
As it softly and sweetly covers us
And as the song reaches it ultimate apex
We lock lips and eyes simultaneously

I hope this storm blows on all night
Up until the wee hours of the morning
So that we can spend the last evening of September
Deep in lovers’ rapture
So that we can slowly melt towards each other
Until we are both as one

[CPsSecretLover]

Will you keep the faith with me
Even as my foolishness appears to extend forever?

Will you swear to be with me
To, in spite of my flaws, abandon me never?

These are words I must hear tonight
I must feel comforted by a blanket of your affection

I need to know that my inner dreams are right
That, to being by my side eternally, you have no objection

For once again I have injured my pride, as fools often do
But this time it is much more severe

For not only did I injure my pride, but my relationship with you
And now I need your assurance, dear

If you pardon me my misdoings, I will work double time
To earn back your trust and your love

I must cleanse my soul of this abominable grime
And I’ve already sought out council from above

So with grace in order, I approach you with a quandary
Could you learn to live with me again?

Could you still look on my countenance fondly
The way you did back then?

[CPsSecretLover]

The insincerity of the world
Squeezes me tightly in its grip
It strips of me my dignity
And it forces me to come to terms
With my own feebleness

Why is it I feel like I’m only passionate about us
When we reach the breaking point
Why must I commit sin
To feel as though I am remade
When all I want is to be with you and with God?

Why do I grow so complacent
When I should be able to celebrate success
And why do I need your love the most
When I least deserve it?
I need to get back to my happy self

So tonight, a vow to you
That I will focus on the sunshine
And that I will overlook the clouds
When I see a cloud, I will hope for rain
To help our love bloom

I will need your help
So please stay close at my side
And together we will move one step
Closer to Heaven
Content in ourselves again

[CPsSecretLover]

The stars shine and twinkle on the window glass
Showcasing two lovers embracing
We have found each other at last

The brisk winds blow at the shelter
But the rushing of our heartbeats they won’t be outpacing
As we settle down for an Autumn evening together

The gale’s howl creeps in between the blinds
Yet we are not chilled
Because in our smothering embrace, the cold will find itself undermined

How can we make so beautiful such a savage eve
How can my heart be so thrilled
Enveloped in a world that is frozen

Only love could be the answer

[CPsSecretLover]

Refreshing
Like the rain of a summer’s day
Resetting
With you, I can start every day anew
Abetting
My soul in finding sweet peace

Hopeful
That this moment is all we need
Woeful
Is what my life would be without you, but
Joyful
Is what I am for every second you are at my side

[CPsSecretLover]

Another day of thanks
Draws near
And as my mind ranks
Things I hold dear
All my memory banks
Can think up is nowhere near

Not even approaching
The tremendous joy
That loving you brings me

As the feast hits the table
And family surrounds
I am but yet scarcely able
To escape the fantastical bounds
Perhaps it is but a fool’s fable
But the depth of my contentment it hounds

I must find a way
God must provide me that path
So that someday we can share this day together

Now for the desert
For each smiling face, a slice of pie
And yet, no smile, I am nearly inert
Still waiting to hear from beyond the sky
I know that, in the end, I won’t be hurt
But oh, how I wish towards your hooves I could fly!

But what is this?
A sweet voice from afar?
Is that you my love?

Now the family festival is complete
As the table is cleared
And oh, what a fantastical feat!
My love has neared
This feeling cannot be beat
And so my soul cheered

Finally, at last, we are celebrating together
And it is better than I imagined
Oh, how thankful I am!

[CPsSecretLover]

What should I give
To hold you in my arms again?

My countenance turns to gloom
And my mind becomes weary
As I set alone in the darkened room

When will you come to save
Me from my own loneliness?

It seems as if a night alone
I will have to brave
But hark, could it be?

What is that sparkle in the dark?
What midnight magic stands before me?

I almost saw a sparkling gleam
That I knew must be your beautiful eyes
But alas, it was only a dream

But yet, there is a chance
I am beginning to doubt that my eyes deceived me

And with a gentle caress and carefree giggle
I know that romance
Has not passed me by

And oh, how I thank the heavens
That I found you

[CPsSecretLover]

The evening is so poignant in its stillness
No winter winds are howling
And yet your touch does not thrill me less
The heat of your kisses is still astounding

Two lovers, huddled in the shadow
Beneath the harvest moon
Our passion bringing us just a stone’s throw
From temperatures of June

Oh, how we could while away the hours
Just locked in each other’s gaze
We could spend the spring picking flowers
And the summer singing praise

The fall would be for moonlight walks
The winter for fireside contemplation
Oh, how I love our evening talks
I just wished they matched our situation

No, I cannot be with you in flesh tonight
Only in spirit
But my meager spirit takes flight
When I feel you near it

But the greatest miracle of all
Is that you are there to hear it
How it helps me to stand up tall
And compels me to praise God’s spirit

I know it was he who gave you to me
A truly divine miracle
With just a whisk, he set my romantic pain free
Using his power empirical

And what he set before me was beauty
In it truest form
It is simply my duty
To keep you far from forlorn

So, chin up
And release yourself from fear
Stay fresh as the May buttercup
For I will soon be near

80 years feels like an eternity
But so soon will it melt
And then nothing can keep you from me
And our love will truly be felt

As that date approaches
keep me in mind
And as I write “Buenos Noches”
I will hold you in mine

Together we can make it
Together if we try
We’ll never have to break it
We’ll be together, by and by

[CPsSecretLover]

Darkness nears
The atmosphere fades away
I release all my fears
There is nothing I have to say
You dry all my tears
And prepare me for a sunny day

The morning sun wakes the world
I hug you tight to my chest
A new flag has been unfurled
As we awaken from our rest
Your hair has matted and curled
And yet somehow you still look the best

In the morning, when the sky touches land
You are at your prettiest as day breaks
Your hoof securely in my hand
Your eyes glistening as you wake
To be without you, I can’t stand
I’ll find a way, no matter what it takes

[CPsSecretLover]

Oh, ‘tis Yuletide
What joy fills my heart
To have you by my side
To know we won’t be apart
To know that my feelings, I won’t have to hide
That the loneliness will never start
How I swell with pride

To feel your sweet embrace
Beneath twinkling Christmas lights
To kiss your sweet, beautiful face
Beneath mistletoe by night
Thankful that God has granted me such grace

As to be Christmasing with you
My heart is aflutter
With each day anew
As the wind whips the shutters
We enjoy the Arctic view
And my smitten heart mutters
“I love you, too”

I am so thankful to have you here
On this joyous holiday
Knowing that I need not fear
That you would go away
And I can carry that assurance in the new year

So I say to you, my dearest, Merry Christmas
I hope you enjoy every moment
That you spend with us
And while my sins seemed beyond atonement
God has saved me from my lust
And I have in return received a blessed bestowment
That seems barely just

Of a love so true
And affection so tender
A connection only he himself could brew
The chances seemed so slender
And yet, like a miracle, one has been made from two
