Poems for the Sweetest of Ponies

[CPsSecretLover]

I don’t want to write that I love you
Or that you make my life complete
I don’t want to write that I wish we weren’t apart
Or that your smile brings joy to my heart

No pen put to paper
In love-borne inspiration
I shouldn’t need to tell you that I care
Or how grateful I am for the love we share

No grandiose displays of affection
No need to inscribe the trials of our relationship
I needn’t write that we’re such close lovers
Or that we aren’t fully understood by others

No, my darling, in a perfect world these things wouldn’t be
For I would have no need for written words
If you were here with me

Alas, it is not yet so
As such I will make lemonade of lemons
And hope that, in spite of the separation, you know

That every loving word I write is true
That I am working towards reuniting us
And that I will always be devoted to you

[CPsSecretLover]

Laughter in the sunshine
A sweet smile of thine
Dancing in the falling rain
Daydreaming on our windowpane
We may shiver from the wind and snow
But we will take joy in it, even so
How is it you make a sweet Summer day
From a cold and blustery December of gray?

Oh how sweet, the tender cuddles
I endure in our blanketed midnight huddles
Wrapped up in a sheet of toasty fleece
How is it that we can find such peace?
Perhaps it is the miracle, like that star above
Or perhaps it is my foolish heart, fluttering with love
Or perhaps it is a bit of each
That has made us pleased as peach

Either way, I’ll take comfort to know
That from my side you’ll never go
And for eternity,rest assured
Of you companionship I’ll never grow bored
Tonight, again, we’ll meet to conspire
And to rest ourselves in front of the fire
And tonight, we’ll raise a winter’s toast
In celebration of the love we wanted most

[CPsSecretLover]

Such a stately day
All over the ground the snow lay
Winds whip powdery ice into the fray

Stay close to me by the fire
Pray that we could be together
May misfortunate never befall this beauty

Along the roof edges lie icicles
Down the gutters the slush trickles
Wind strikes the air with its bitter sickle

Fickle we were till we first met
Pickled in mired stagnancy and complacency
Tickles of the nose in playful revelry befall us now

Though the weather outside is cold
And the clock on the wall says our romance is old
We simply refuse to follow the mold

Bold, may we both be
Behold, a romance anew has blossomed
Rolled into each other’s gentle caress

[CPsSecretLover]

Ah, Yuletide once again
Streets lit up red and green
Time to put thankfulness first
And into God’s forgiveness lean

What a joyous time of year
What satisfaction, utter jubilation
And yet I am not fully satisfied
In this jovial celebration

I thank the Lord for his grace
That I have been given life
But still with restlessness
Is my heart rife

I love the sounds of the carolers
Making merry outside my door
But their hormonious refrains
Only increase my desire more

My desire to share this all with you
With the one whom I most love
To share the trimming of the tree
And the Christmas star up above

Oh, what a relief it would be
If I had received just one extra gift
If you had been waiting for me neath the mistletoe
Oh, how my tender heart would lift

But I count it all in relief
Taking it in stride
For I know one day
I can take you to be my bride

And in the Christmases following
Oh, what glorious holidays
As I’ll finally be able to show my love
In so many ways

So I say with relief
Do not fret
Though our most happy of Christmases
Has not reached us yet

For on some future December
Snow covered and sweet
We can finally
Make our Christmas dreams complete

Until then I wish you
All the best
I hope your Christmas Day was full of love
As were all the rest

And tonight when I kneel
On my knees to pray
I will thank God personally
For the hope of that future day

[CPsSecretLover]

Golden waves of sunshine
Radiate on the calm bay
We’ve never left our home countries
But this feels like a foreign land

How could something so beautiful
Bring me a pang of anticipatory stress
Perhaps my anxiety would be lessened
If I gave you my hand

It is so reassuring
That I have one there to always calm
My frayed and tired nerves
And who’s empathy is not canned

So the sunshine is our signal
For clear skies ahead
For in our love life
The flames have been fanned

Here we set on a sienna beach
Even though we haven’t time to swim
Even though you cannot feel the warm glow
Because fur cannot be suntanned

Regardless, this is but a snapshot
And oh what a beautiful spectacle it is
Your smile illuminates the stage
And the beat of our hearts strikes up the band

May the rhapsody play on
Over this place of uncertainty
For I know you will keep the faith with me
As eternity blows past like the sand

[CPsSecretLover]

The still peace
The sweet release

Goodbye to inhibitions
Release of anticipation

The sight of your sweet smile
Was the peace I needed
It was for your kind voice
That all day I pleaded

Welcome to jubilation
Two hearts in participation

As midnight draws near
Snuggle with one so dear

How pure and innocent
Our lover’s tete-a-tete in the night
It makes the darkness bearable
And makes our mornings bright

And through the dark we hold hooves
Waiting for what our devotion proves...

[CPsSecretLover]

The hot sizzle of the neon lights
Buzzes over the fresh frost
In a complementary symphony

What should I do
On a cruel evening such as this
I know where to turn
But I fear my heart will stray
How could I be worthy of you?

There is no worth in love
That is for certain
But still, I seek balance between us

I feel the distance between us
And it tears me apart
To know that I have contributed
To your disheartened state
No matter, we will press on

For a promise I once made to you
And I intend to keep it
So forever will I be yours

Not all moments come with romance
Indeed, domestic life is often a bore
But you are never dull, my dear
And I seek to take us away from our plight
On this cold and bitter winter night

It is so strange
That what I’ve been seeking
Has been before me the whole time

So take me in your hooves
Sing a song of joy
Tonight you are valentine
Regardless of my fears
And we will ride into the night content

[CPsSecretLover]

The stars over the plains
Sing out with glee
You are here with me
And we listen to their sweet refrains

Your tender lips beckon
For a sweet, loving kiss
If I don’t I would be remiss
Or at least, I’d reckon

That this would be a wasted opportunity
For a warm and gentle embrace
To plead my lovers’ case
Oh, what harm that insecurity could do to me!

So I must simply submit
To my love’s delight
But to stop just when the time’s right
To keep our love from being simply explicit

The world as our trinket
A globe made of sweets
But it could never be complete
Without love, to think it

Would be a preposterous conclusion
To assume that the world could turn
Without lovers’ passions to burn
A wold of romantic exclusion

I know in such a desolate land
We could never be
Without you, I wouldn’t be free
So I have drawn a line in the sand

I need your passionate emotion
And you require love from me
So together we will always be
Through all the worlds commotion

So let the heavens sing with jubilation
Let God bless the love he has wrought
Though our days with doubt may be fraught
May our love dwell in exhilaration

For we have made a love’s pact
On each other to rely
Romance never to deny
And I plan to keep it forever intact

[CPsSecretLover]

As the cool of the night bears down
It leaves the sparkling city
In a black silk evening gown

And as the activities of day cease
The suburbs are draped
In a silent, solemn peace

Into this great tranquility I wander
And I stare out into the endless blankness
As my long-term fate I ponder

Is loneliness to be my lot
Is that my reward
For all that I have fought?

Perhaps I will be blessed
With a miracle of sorts
So I will not be depressed

And as I think this
Hark, a mysterious voice yonder
Brings a pang of bliss

[CPsSecretLover]

From whence came this sultry silhouette?
That I surely cannot say
Where before had I and this shape met?

It’s glory dances in my eyelids
I journey to my memory
And find the smell of fresh violets

Oh, sweet yet distant temptress
I can see a shimmer around you
Your hooves and neck jeweled as an empress

As she grows nearer, I begin to trimble
I keep my wits about me
Hope that my charms stand ready and nimble

The anticipation is palpable
And the nervousness of each second
Is simply incalculable

With each sharp clack of her hooves
I pray that she not slip by me
I pray that the love in this moment moves
