valentines day – Saturday Soul with Sandy Hibbard

This Valentines Day Let Go and Embrace Love

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.”
~ Sophocles

Valentine’s Day isn’t always a happy celebration – there are some who are lonely, heartbroken and longing for companionship. For my own life, I have realized that regardless of my situation, I still have love to give. We all love and want to be loved. We want to share our love freely and unhindered with someone who will give it back, take note of it and not take it for granted. But love is more than a celebration of feeling between two lovers, it is the bond that passes between all humankind – lovers and friends, parents and children, leaders and admirers. No matter what your “love situation” or romantic circumstances, steady your heart, keep your feet on the ground and let love flow creatively this month. Allow yourself to feel it, then enjoy it, don’t be afraid to show it – for in the conscious release of our feelings is the true realization of this magical thing we call love. Be unfettered, have some fun – LOVE!

Do I Ever Cross Your Mind Mr. Valentine?

Do I ever cross your mind when it rains…
wondering how I am navigating the traffic in the storm or if the pool is flooded?
Do you ever have an instinct to pick up the phone and call me
when your work is through
…just like you used to?
I do.
Some days I want to hear your voice on the other end of the phone,
calming my nerves and easing my stress as we laugh about the day.
Whispering silly words in foreign voices…our special mode of play.
It’s hard to shut off my “best friend” mode.
It’s tragically sad how the events of one morning could change our destinies.
Everything.
No stone left in place,
all thoughts and memories tear-laced.
Dreams shattered and our plans laid to waste.
Nothing remains,
only the debris of a very bad storm.
Me and you…
Lives wrecked by the actions you chose.
How can this happen?
How can a heart grow so cold?
It’s raining still and I feel weary to the bone,
I fixed the pool myself,
the car,
the yard,
and learned to be alone.
And as for my heart? Oh, I’ll be fine.
But tell me Mr. Valentine, do I ever cross your mind?

A few love poems for all you lovers

Sandy Hibbard — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:13:42 +0000

Here are a few love poems I have written while pining for love, recovering from a broken heart, or awakened by my muse in the midst of love’s good times – hopefully there will be something you can relate to! Love and Peace and Happy Valentine’s Day! Sandy
UNANNOUNCED
Love doesn’t come unannounced
No, this time it comes with trumpets sounding in the heart
Heralding the entrance of royalty
I want to run into the arms of my lover – he will hold me
Enraptured by his kisses he speaks soft
Burning me with a passion long forgotten
*****
ONE DUMB LIZZY
One gazes on me while another looks away
Where’s your desire?
What do you say?
And you, why do you say so much?
Are you for real?
I think you should shut-up
My head hurts and I feel dizzy –
One Don Juan and one dumb lizzy!
*****
HOW LONG
I didn’t want to let go – still really don’t – but how long
Do we play with hearts before they turn to blood?
Just to hear your voice makes me cry
To think of how i would have died
To hear you say you needed –
Wanted –
Cherished –
My love
What could be so hard for your girl?
I will miss you.
