She is Touched
Cold and lonely days end.
My mind and heart begin to see her.
Then my eyes and hands did grasp her.
It is not I whom touched her first for we are mature.
Some of the great souls who have shared their spark have departed.
Some are here.
I have seen them, I meet one today.
Love has touched her.
I wish to stay near so that I may touch her again.

Enchanted – by Lani
I am yes, Enchanted.
By the Grace that flows from her fingers.
Enchanted yes, by the brisk clarity of the dark, winter night stars.
By the same summer evenings, they seem so close.
Enchanted yes, by the movement in the waters, her hands in the bath and the thunder and rainbows given by the grand lady Vernal Falls.
I am Enchanted by her hairs fine and long, like the grasses of the Meadow.
It is she, Enchanting, Heather by the Meadows, Ocean, Sky and Mountains.
Luster – by Lani
The luster comes during time.
Luster wasn’t my pursuit.
It was a gift of constant work.
I want my personality polished.
I think there is worth in it.
I went and looked for a woman who could make me better.
I found her.
She brought out the luster.

It wasn’t the choices that were difficult.
It was the despair, deciding was too painful.
The open wound hidden from the mirror.
So returns the truth, a great blessing.
The truth hides from us some, for it isn’t new.
Truth already is, so we then decide once we see the truth again.
Journal Entry – Heather Mirassou
Our Love is like the Flow
of Water and Gravity.
Journal Entry – Fate, Heather Mirassou
Fate is two hearts guided in the same direction in this very large world, who meet after acceptance of a “friend request”. Something I don’t normally do from those I don’t know. However, I believe people are put on each others paths for a reason.
It is two people chatting for hours and hours on messenger and the phone getting to know each other deeply before our first date.
It is two like-minded poets finding rhythm in poetry and love letters where a love story is being written.
It is the evolution of hope, faith, trust, acceptance and the foundation of unconditional love in our relationship.
It is a miracle we found each other. For Lani is like no other human being I’ve ever met and is all that I have ever sought and more than I could ever imagine.
Heart to heart and soul to soul we are at the center of love.
I believe this is an enormous gift from God and am so very grateful for Lani in my life.
So, the love story will continue to be written by us both and we are blessed today.

Your happiness is desirable
Privacy and a bed at last
We can’t be trusted
Ain’t monogamy grand
We love with youthfulness
We love with vigor
We respect lovingly
We love wisely
We love with insight
Passion with purpose
I want to be known by you absolutely
The First Night – Contributed by Lani
I watch you undress
I stir inside
You glance at me
You can hear my heart cry
My heart soars
My mind goes away
I pull you close
All of my senses focus on you
All life is passionate
You accept me
For the first time
There is no separation
We meet and have become the center
Bad Company Concert Fun
A Love Letter From Lani
Her eyes are as the green gems I seek in the desert yellowed by the sun.
Her smile wide and majestic as the horizon from the mountain top I love so.
I have seen the insight she bares.
To love in full intensity past the risk of hurt .
So now I know my place, never to hurt her, show her harm or turn from her unconditional Love .
Declarative – Lani and Heather Mirassou
Our stuff is here and there
We haven’t a creature that comes to us both
We do have love and share meaningfulness of Life
My mind searching the heavens for gifts to bring you
My heart does not want to stand alone
I am here, you are no longer alone
The pain is gone
I feel alive with you
We are both special and rare
Like a falling star and a crescent moon
It is not often a couple becomes as close as we
For our love grows as we find ourselves and each other in this love
Together we live in harmony
Like a river and a waterfall flowing together meeting to make love
We are one in nature
Combined to find the edges of love
A Love Letter From Lani
I am a jewel that polishes itself for the only love found
I find good things
I found you
We are so close
Let us go into each other
And raise ourselves holding ourselves together
We will both heal
We have both hurt
We can both step past it
Into a future with great love
Contributed by Lani
Never give up because time doesn’t end
Persist in time for time bears opportunity
Opportunity is simply the next step
Be energetic stepping as you are alive
Persist in life never give up
From Lani
Darling Heather, I want to write you love poetry
So I do
When I reach inside my self and wonder how I can love
There in the quiet moments the answer comes
Love her more she can handle it
Love her more she is worth it
Love her better and I have become better for the love shown her
Contributed by Lani
She calls for a poem
What is a greater gift given than
One on which is asked for
We ask for so little from our soul
The minds and bodies wanting’s
And needing’s mostly answered
The soul just the one thing asking
I rush to give her Love
Time – Heather Mirassou
We are like a pendulum that is counting the minutes until me meet again.
We are like sunbursts finding the sundial that tells us when we meet again.
Time is a thief to us.
Though our love is timeless.
The moment becomes our future.
We gather in tandem to be close again, ever widening our hearts in the center of love.
Contributed by Lani
She tells me in whispers
the secrets I want to know
She shows by example
the way I want to care about others
She rests peacefully in ways
I wish to be still
She breaths in the air of life
as do I , with great passion
She has become timeless
and never far
A Love Letter From Lani
Don’t stop saying
Let me close
Three words that do so much for us
My hands are open
My heart is waking
I love you timeless
All now
All future
I don’t go to God often
For you everything
I have to accept time moving along
I want time to stop
While we kiss
And breath the same air
I cherish the moment
Each hour in your arms
Brings new life to me
From the first hour
I’m pulling into love
I want you with me
You are magnificent
Contributed by Lani
The night, my passion goes to her
Her flowering image fills my mind
Broken days left in the past
Lessons good gifts rightly kept
She receives me lovingly, the night
Contributed by Lani
I like her in white cotton
All her kisses welcome me
I go to her smiling
I begin to tremble
My will falters in restraint
She puts her hand on me
I felt her inside
Love me now holding tight
Holding you makes the moment real
A Love Letter – Lani and Heather Mirassou
Tears are near
I want to cry on your chest
My skin would take your tears inside
I would keep them
Take them now
I have never known such love
I never knew it could exist
I give you a place to cry
But more
Because on me, your tears would just be going home
You see I love them from within
A Love Letter – From Lani
We must dance
Oh you know I love to dance
I press against you
Oh yes
To excite you
To make me strong
I hold you tight
Every muscle flexes
Gravity decreases
Your heart glows
I bend your hips
I hold you from both sides
We are in ecstasy
You have guided my hands
I have lifted you
We are in the same love
We don’t let go
I love you deeply
I want to feel all your weight
As proof you are real
Do this for me
Yes my love
I will remember
I will too
A Love Story – Lani and Heather Mirassou
We are glowing together
A smile that lasts day and night
Whether separate or apart
The heart crack is wide open
We are at the center
Exploring the edges of love
I am here
You are near
Love is grand with you
My grace
Your strength
Will carry us today and tomorrow
Love unfolding naturally
Acceptance draws us near
Unconditional love fulfills us
A love story is being written
Our future together is clear
Dedicated To My Lover Lani – Heather Mirassou
My heart and soul ache for you
My lips, swollen search for you
My eyes find yours and dive deep into the ocean of blue
Your neck, a wonderland, we are tangled
Your chest, beating like a drum, my dance floor
Your stomach, white and flat, my resting ground
Your legs, pillars of strength, they hold me like bricks
Your curvy toes, tickle me in my dreams
Your love, like to no other in this world, you set me free
A Love Letter – Lani
Please hold me
I ache to hold you
Press ourselves together
We will hear music
Just holding each other
Your breath is music to me
I want to hide away with you
Soon
I’ll listen to your heartbeats
I have been saving this special first for us
I wanted to love you more before I listened
The heart I love beating
I will listen with my ears and hands
You will be breathing deep
And we will be in love
I could do this today
I love you so
You will love me
I flutter some
I flutter too
We are the same
You kiss me gentle
I kiss you deeply
A Love Letter – Lani and Heather Mirassou
How did you find me again?
I cried
I must live
And you appeared
God has plans for us
Sometimes when we are broken
God gives us miracles
That is each other
Dedicated To My Lover – Heather Mirassou
Let me lay my head on your shoulder
Lay me on a bed of roses
Kiss me
I’ll be wearing white
Sing me a love song
For I love you so
I don’t want anybody else but you
Love me and make me feel alive
Hold me close and tight
My heart falls wide open
Come to me and enter
Bring your magic touch
As I whisper your name
I will hold your soul
As we share dawn
I will not give up
I will be patient
I will endure
Give your all to me
Contributed by Chadd Henderson
It is not enough
To love you from a distance
It is not enough
To live doing little things
Human life is to reach
Inside ourselves
Inside someone else
And be received
These simple acts
We start with our hands
Contributed by Chadd Henderson
In the forest we see many things
As we step along we hear many things
Our Aura enlarges
We see more, we hear more
We feel more
The cracking twig stabs us with fear
Yet we do not run
We have become above the animals
Fear, it flees from us as we Live
Lani’s Love – Lani and Heather Mirassou
Her breasts translucent
Her nipples erect
Her hips wide and curvy
They smell of life
Her lips searching
He stiffens
His mustache debonair
She chases him as they sit together
His lips voluptuous
They know where to go
His eyes mesmerizing
Showing strength
Palm to palm
Waiting for her to feel
Her heart wide open
She opens to release
What he is asking for
They pour together
She catches him
She sings a love song of poetry
To the man she wants
He watches over her while she sleeps
She hums
And prepares the morning gift
Another day in love
She wraps her legs around his
Not wanting him to leave
He stays together for her
Their purpose
Together
Twin rainbows

Her petals are pink with white tips
She is in full bloom
I crawl to her
She hypnotizes me
She is a precious pearl
She is dripping with fragrance and fresh cream
Just let me stay near
She opens a new flower
As I quiver
Her pheromones entice
She envelopes my presence
She is part of me
As I am of her
I will return
Each new day and night
And revel in her beauty

Let Me Close – Heather Mirassou
Let me close you said
From your eyes, I saw a crack in your heart open
I came to you and let you close
You held my hands
Caressed my face and laid it against mine
Let me close you said
I felt a crack in my heart open
Let me close you said
You put your hand against my heart
As did I
Our hearts beating opening the crack’s further
Your lips so soft and voluptuous
I followed them
Let me close I said
Until we meet again
I am speared
Contributed by Chadd Henderson
She came to me
I did nor turn away
She told me of her thorn
I pulled it
She did not cry
I cried for her
Darshan – Chadd Henderson
Darshan, a Sanskrit word meaning to give from within.
Let us grasp hands
Let us see into each other’s eyes
Let me gaze upon your forehead
See in me what you can
Let us persist until my heart cracks open
Or until one of us is reduced to tears
I Am Speared – Heather Mirassou
Contributed by Lani
My lover lay on my bosom. I feed him from within.
He holds me. There is no separation.
He leaves for the daytime and some nights alone.
He returns to me as pure as when we parted, my lover.
Contributed by Lani
Wake now Noel, to a man baring a gift like none ever received,
Ready yourself Marie, it will take time to receive.
As your name Mirassou carries thee for the life of Lani’s gifts, need time to be given Heather.
Beloved – Chadd Henderson
Beloved there is
Nothing about that I love you
There is only how
Even now I whisper to you
Hear me come to you
My hands are open
The morning is soon
Colors – Heather Mirassou
Colors surround her, each color tells a story.
His colors different, yet complimentary.
They softly meet and collide.
She awaits aroused.
Waiting for his hands, his smile and mustache a mystery.
Both shy but made of poetry.
Patience my princess,
I will come to you sweetheart.
Dedicated to my friend Chadd – Heather Mirassou
She bared to him her coveted soul.
Prepared to be shunned, instead she is accepted unconditionally.
Her scars deep, he leads her to the light.
A new journey begins.
He incites her passion, through his wisdom and poetry.
He helps her see beauty again.
She must live again.
I Love You Like – Heather Mirassou
I love you like, a rainbow that stretches across the sky and has a pot of gold waiting at the end of it.
I love you like, the midnight sky in Lake Tahoe and the stars you can almost touch in the summer sky.
I love you like, a set of wind chimes dancing, singing, twirling and awakening in the whispering wind.
I love you like, a rock skipping across a river out-running a rainbow trout and a fisherman’s line.
I love you like, a wild and crazy motorcycle ride, hanging on to love for life.
I love you madly, deeply, wildly, freely and unconditionally.

Dream Catcher – Heather Mirassou

So alone in a cage
She rolls and rolls
Into a safety net
Into a cloak
Her dream catcher
Begins to unravel
Her sheath
Her cacoon
It is not sudden
It has taken
A lifetime
Her net undone
The butterfly
Confused
Flutters
Lost from home
She no longer
Fights or spins
On a string
She opens her wings
She free falls
Blind and courageous
Caught by a warrior
Finally free
I Am Blue – Heather Mirassou
I am blue today
Like the cobalt sky
I reach for
The crisp air
So I can fly
I ride Clouds
That look like cotton balls
They litter the sky
I am untouchable
Just as she is

The hills have holy feet
Take your baptism

A sprinkling morrow
Drinking from the trees
Earth is cooling
As the sun is shady
A noble mood
The simple quiet
Of daydreams

The insanity is dead
All red about the sky
The insanity is dead
All red about the sky
So cold against the wind
This day shall flee
It is thirsty
It is wandering
Blurring at the end

From childhood
I have not taken my sorrow
I could not awaken my heart
To joy at the same tone
All I loved
I loved alone
Be Alive In Everything – Heather Mirassou
Be alive in everything. Now go paint the rain.

I had awakened and was alive
But when fear, adversity, uncertainty, and sin left me stranded
I raised my protective shield and ran with the wind
My soul stirred, whispered, cried for release
I wanted tranquility, happiness, and contentment
I hit my knees unashamed
Prayed for strength, guidance, and humility
No longer to let life pass me by
I took a leap of faith
Acceptance and forgiveness paved my path
Unwavering love and perseverance carried me
God’s Beautiful Artistry
With blind and deaf awareness
Be Alive in Everything
Revel in life
Find the detail
Be precise
Touch Everything
Explore
Be Inquisitive
Touch it
Taste it
Smell it
Feel it
Record it with Clarity
Be Alive in Everything
Now Go Paint the Rain
