The Dream, a love poem.
Love Lost
i see the people living life
the smiles i see on others faces
no other can share my thoughts
the touch of connectedness
but now is quiet desperation
no more will there be days of warmth
no tenderness, no heart to heart
my hopes and dreams are shattered

Love Is
Author: unknown
Love is all that matters.
Love is everything.
It is the showing of songs and of silences, and
the holding of memories only the heart can see.
In nothing are we as rich as in our memories of love,
for they are ours alone and tell our story.
Love's music may be different to each of us,
but oh, how beautiful the dance.
This is the love of my life
when we met, i thought i finally found someone to talk to
and i did
i thought id found someone who wanted to really know me
i thought id found someone who was just like me
i thought id found someone to trust
and i did
i thought id found someone who would never be unfaithfull
someone to share nature, and moonlight and love with
someone to give my heart to
and i did
i thought id found the other half of me, my twin flame my soulmate
i thought I found a home in your arms, in your heart, in your mind
and i did
when you got sick i said id never leave you, id stay with you till the end
and i did
These are the rings we proudly wore
When pleasure was, in dreaming, sure
I had a dream of love so pure
That angels shout when whispers sang
Into the air, then voices rang
To shout out their, "I love you"
And that was when I, dreaming, knew
That in all the world there will never be
Another love as yours for me.
But I awoke and in sorrow found
No traces of you were still around
And remembering the dream before
I closed my eyes to dream once more.

The sun it shines and warms my skin
but doesnt reach the depth
to thaw the cold and hollow core
frozen since your death
i watch the wind as it blows
but the blackness in my heart and soul
consumes though no one knows
the joy within their eyes
those are just remembered things
once your soulmate dies
my soul an open book
be the one to love me or to
comfort with a look
the caring, and the laughter ringing
under moonlite skies in love
my soul was always singing
the black of sadness lingers
the lonely, broken face i see
and his rings upon my fingers
no songbirds do i hear
no more will there be another
to gently wipe a tear
no passionate embrace
no kisses true or i love you
that make my heart race
the promise, the passion, the life
evrything died with you
now im noones wife
this was the ceremony we chose
friends and family members will add sprigs of
plants/flowers with traditional meanings related to marriage.
This wreath symbolizes the marriage that Samantha and David
are celebrating here today. We, their friends and their family,
will create a visual symbol of their vows... A wreath that will
decorate their home, as love decorates their lives. This wreath will
let them remember the love shared by all of us here today.
of Matrimony and Friendship. The circular shape of the wreath mirrors
the rings that David and Samantha have already exchanged
and symbolizes the never ending devotion that they pledge
each other on this day.
Ivy does not "feed upon" the tree or stone it clings to,
and this is important to its symbolism.
and if the tree falls, the ivy stays around it.
But the ivy is held to the soil by its own roots.
It gets nothing from the substance of the companion,
and though it dies on the same spot, it dies in its
own time, making its own independent gesture.

of humor and levity, and dock, a symbol of patience.
These are added with a wish that David and Samantha never
lose the patience and humor which help to sustain their
relationship through even the roughest times and
which enrich their daily life.
I add this to the wreath with the wish that David and Samantha
never allow each other to forget the way that they feel today,
and that they will always recall the romance and passion that
they felt on the day of their meeting. This tarragon symbolizes
the unselfish regard with which they should treat one another,
today and always.
faithfulness and hope. David and Samantha will need
these traits throughout their lives together.
Their faith and trust in one another will be strengthened
as time goes on. Without hope, there is no chance of success.
With hope they will realize that they can achieve every goal.
the beauty (hold up lavender roses) and unity (hold up red & white roses)
that David and Samantha feel today. May they always take the time to
find the beauty around them, the passion within them, and to feel strength
that their unity provides them. May they always recall and honor their vows
made this day.
