Repost for all the loving mothers, grandmothers, young lovers etc here at Passions. Some of us really do appreciate everything you are and stand for. The Lady Of My Soul From deep within her bright eyes and in her sultry laugh come tender soul vibrations where spells of love are cast. With graceful taste and wisdom through strife or peace and hope there lives my sweet enchantress The lady of my soul. Her rare and mystic mindset a lighthouse for the truth sends passionate love beacons to the sea of stranded youth With words of gathered knowledge Inwoven in her speech with mercy and true vision she speaks of faith in leaps. Her look is deep with dreaming of a love that cancels tears. Her eyes are filled with wonder and unpermitted fears. For she's come down from heaven and all the lives she passed are vehicles of purpose that wait to bring her back. And when her needed tableaux protects her special doves with teeming flair and purpose she triumphs in her love. In calm she waits out worry when time for changing grows and there's no other mortal more patient with her own. Deep in the heart of my soul lies the jewell of her worth. where destiny has brought her to deal with love or hurt. In bold and sudden fashion she rises from the fold to state her love with spirit the lady of my soul. She knows dry eyes are hiding the feelings in this man. while sweetness of her merit within my pulse expands. Her armor or her softness both stir my mind like fire no quick reluctant purpose can quell my deep desire. With cheer and expectation and time for all things born she heartens the disheartened and comforts the forlorn. She's gentle and all-seeing and mirrors her repose with love for curing sadness the lady of my soul. Her words are wonderous music that warm like winds of spring. And her faith is like the twilight the end of day can bring. Her senusous naked valleys where sensation stirs my bones are places where I take the finest journey home. And year by year she's gifted with the will to share her source Her love of future scanning the path of evermore. And back from all life's setbacks she springs to keep me whole with sorceries of gladness the lady of my soul. ain't doin nothin at all just answerin the call and kinda driftin away from it all |

Difficult to write a poem that could top this, so I understand why you decided to repost. Ought to make this a tradition on the first day of each year to repost. Psst! I still ain't gonna doit. That isn't a typo, Webster was wrong when he made two words (do it) out of one. When early morning quietness seeps into my being it's like I'm being hugged by everything good in the world.—August 16, 2010 |

Simply beautiful, Eric, and so insightful. Me thinks the lady of your soul has given you ... soul (if that makes sense). So glad you re-posted it. Helen |

This is such a tender loving poem. Makes me feel good to be a woman, with all my moods and fickle ways. It's all in the wiring, and I wouldn't have any other way. Thanks for your gift of words, ethome~ it's a nice way to start the New year~ |

Hey Latearrival Thanks for those kind upbuilding words. Ya know, it's remains a mystery how things got so askew in the relationships between men and women. Was it because men are apparently physically stronger than women that they figured they should dominate their women.? No, it's not, because in so many ways women are so much stronger than men. Women are not to be the oppressed victims of men who take advantage of them, mistreat them, or subject them to abuse of any kind. Instead, the married woman is to be the happy and accomplished “complement” of her husband. So where did it all go wrong? Who knows, but it's with the deepest of respect that I think of my own mother a tender loving individual who on the other hand could scare me right out of my shoes when she wanted to be strong, then hold me to her breast and wait til everything was right between the two of us. Then my father would back her up in her discipline decisions the same way she would back him up. He would take me fishing and hunting and I'd look up to him like he was God but he always spoke respectfully of my mother that's why it came as such a great blow to me when they split up it was devastating to a young boy. At the time I didn't know how these things could happen but today I sadly do realize why. In my opinion we're all not growing we're receeding. But, that doesn't answer the question, where did we all go wrong? This poem "The Lady Of My Soul" is dedicated to my wife Elizabeth who died within six months with bone cancer. She was a loving individual who cared for others and we were happy. However, married ten years we naturally had our disagreements but managed to deal with them. She's been gone now twenty years and I still wonder. Eric ain't doin nothin at all just answerin the call and kinda driftin away from it all |

I am so sorry to hear 1. That your parents divorced and 2.That your wife died after only ten years of being together. I have always felt my father showed so much love and respect to my mother and my two brothers and me that I grew up thinking most men were like him. He also showed his father much respect. His mother had died when he was young. I happened to meet a young man who was much like my dad and we had above all respect for each other. I would not say we had no differences,we did. Even our sense of humor was different. But we lasted happily for 47 years until Cancer took him. I have always told my sons to follow his footsteps and they all had respect for both of us. Both of my brothers divorced after about 16 or 17 years. And my three sons have also divorced. So I guess there are no answers~~ |
