Love Sonnet 1 - Mango Style

She tilted her head to one side
He said she looked like a bird
She smiled and reached up to touch his face
He closed his eyes, breathing deep
She ran her thumb across his lips
He reached for her hand and stilled it with a kiss
She let go of everything, all fears
He wrapped her in his arms
She forgot yesterdays & stopped thinking about tomorrows
He said sweet words that rested in her soul
She put her head into the hollow of his shoulder
He felt a peace not known before, a destiny
She whispered thank you for being you
He replied thank you for knowing me
She sighed & melted into his love
He felt her love trickle into his soul
They became more than they ever had been.

Love Sonnet 2 - Mango Style

One day I was walking
and i came upon a clearing
dappled light and artists everywhere
so i pulled up a stool at an easel
and i started to paint the land
i heard soft, contained laughter
and I looked to my left
and there he sat on a stool
painting my heart in pinks, apricots and blues
he smiled and i knew beauty
he held out his hand to me
and I took it as i got up
and stepped closer to him
I sat upon his lap
and we held the same brush
and as the breeze stirred the leaves
he and I painted our life
we painted laughter all over
and then love in copious amounts
we changed brushes and began
to outline hope, desire and destiny
every now and again
we would kiss, slowly and with great truth
then we would smile
and return to our canvas
we put down the brush
and used our fingers to create
a circle of our future
and it contained five little
hearts made from rainbows
and there were open spaces
on that canvas, left white and blank
ready for the gift of the unknown
the setting sun shone into our eyes
dazzling us, so we closed them
and stood up
he took my hand
and we both hung the painting in the
heart of our home
and we kissed forever
