El Arte De Amor
Tracing
a
path
~
to
the
secret
enclave,
~
deep
within
her
pensive
soul;
~
Traversing
slowly
through
exotic
terrain,
~
He
navigates
the
fluent
contours
~
of
her
exquisite
architecture;
~
Accentuating
her
sheer
radiance
~
with
vibrant
hues
~
and
gentle
strokes;
~
Creating
light
and
space
~
and
hope
~
within
the
delicate
recesses
~
of
her
unspoken
dreams.
……….
And
then,
~
for
just a
brief
moment,
~
he
stills
his
beloved
brush,
~
whispers
a
prayer,
~
and
tenderly
~
paints
her
heart.

Captivated
His
eyes
held me
captive
~
from
the very
first
stare;
~
A
presence
~
A
power
~
Quelling
all
mortal
fear;
~
I
hungered
to
touch
~
his strong
noble
soul;
~
Delight
and
devour
~
Relinquish
control;
~
“But there’s
so much
at
stake”
~
I
heard
a
voice
say,
~
“He is not
of
your
kind,
~
there
are
boundaries
at
play.”
~
In
that
one final
moment
~
Our
eyes
locked
in
embrace
~
Knowing
~
we
would
meet once
again
…
A
new
time
~
A
new
place.

Unfolding
You
wait
~
you
watch
~
you
wonder;
~
Patiently,
nurturing
~
caring
~
saturating
me
with
love;
~
And
slowly,
~
layer
by
layer
~
moment
by
moment
~
petal
by
petal;
~
I
open
~
I
reveal
~
I
expose;
~
Unfolding
gracefully
before
you;
~
Offering
my
raw
essence
~
in
all
its
flushed
complexities;
~
Amidst
intricate
creases
and
tender
curves;
~
Unmasking
hidden
facets
~
of
my truest
nature
~
and
the
most
delicate
mysteries;
~
Releasing
sensitive
sweet
aroma;
~
Deep
red
shades
of
~
beauty,
vibrancy
and
life;
~
Until
finally
I
bloom
~
fully
~
wholly;
~
And
you,
the
witness,
~
Find
a
joyous
place
~
in the
softest
perfect
center
of
me;
~
Knowing
that
tomorrow
~
it
may
not
be
ours
~
to
hold.

Solitary Sunset
Alone
at

I’m
on my
way

Our
Rendezvous
~
Down
by the
bay;
~
Please
wait for
me
~
Will
be there
soon
~
Been
counting
minutes
~
All
afternoon;
~
Your
fiery
touch
~
Your
golden
soul
~
Your
love
~
that
melts
~
the
bitter
cold;
~
Oh
Darling
~
I
Anticipate
~
That
haunting
thrill
~
Predestined
fate;
~
And
always
~
When
the
day
~
is
through,
~
there’s
nothing
~
I
want
~
more
than
~
YOU!

Uplifted ~ A Dedication

Uplift me
Today
Beside you
I’ll stay
~~
Loving strength
You extend
Broken pieces
We’ll mend

Despite dares
That we face
Conjoined faith
We embrace

Roots of passion
Persist
Amongst perilous
Twists;
~~
So
Together
We
Soar
~~
Bound as
One
Evermore.

To all of my wonderful blog friends,
I dedicate this post to all of you who have been my ‘uplifters’ over these past several months. I have been deeply moved by your collective love and support with regard to both, my ongoing medical challenges, and my creative journey through blogging. The friends I’ve made here are some of the kindest and most generous and genuine people I’ve known. You have all touched my soul, and taught me so much.
Currently, I am facing more difficult times physically, and will need to reduce my blogging schedule temporarily. I want to let everyone know that I will be reading and posting whenever I can, and also want to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you angels who have uplifted me in more ways than I can describe!
You are truly a phenomenal group, and I’m blessed to know each and every one of you.
Much Love, Gratitude and Wellness Always~
Robyn Lee
The One
In
the
Midnight
of my
yearning
I
Fall
Deeply
into
the
Clutches
of
~
The One
who
Promises to
Accept
me
unconditionally;
~
The One
who
will
Soothe my
body,
Purify my
soul,
and
Cleanse my
mind;
~
The One
who
masterfully
Reflects
my
light
and
Drowns
my
shadows.
~~~
I
Succumb
readily
to
~
The One
who
Heats
my
flesh
and
Circulates
my
blood;
~
The One
who
Immerses
me
in
a
Solid
Vessel
of
Intoxicating
Liquid
Bliss.
~~~
I surrender my
Whole
Self
to
~
The One
with
Power
To
Dilute
my
Pain
and
Invigorate
me
from
Head to
Toe,
Lavishly,
Sensually,
During
the
Darkest hour
of
Night;
Beneath the
Warm
Glow
of
Amber
Flames;
~~~
Always there
Always willing
Always waiting
Just
For
me;
~
The One
I
Love
~
My
Tub.

Shadow Lover
Take me to the green in youThe secret valley beneath the sun
Hidden behind the whispering ghosts
Of whom you pretend to be
Open up your mossy arms
So I may open mine
And wrap all limbs round your spirit wide
To exist as half no more
Bring me to your mossy floor
Beneath the shadows of your fear
A raven bride in white
A ladder to your soul
Fold down your branches
Peel open your chocolate bark
So I may pour
As liquid amber
Through your very veins
——————

I am thrilled to share this collaborative project with you today. Special thanks to Sam of of Everyday Asperger’s, who penned this stunning piece entitled The Raven Bride in White at the most perfect time to accompany my beloved shadow image.
Hope you enjoyed!
Much Love ~ Robyn Lee
Resist Not
She concedes at last
’twas all for naught;
The knowing she craves
Cannot be sought.
Nothing to fight
Nor push against;
She lets down her guard
No resist, or defense.
When tomorrow is born
She will sense life anew;
For it’s only to Self
That she need remain true.
~Robyn Lee
Temptation
When sweet temptation stares you down
Do not despair for you have found;
That sacred place dwelled deep inside
Where vital sparks of you reside
~ RL
Pursuit
“Performance depends neither on size nor strength,
but rather on fuel of the spirit.”
~Robyn Lee
Plunge
When life offers the
gift of opportunity,
we must be ready to take that plunge…
And when we plunge–
let it be without pause,
with pure passion,
and with every fiber of our being.
~Robyn Lee
