Truly
JH Meares
Are we all sometimes too good to be true
Are dating profiles embellishing the real you
Putting our best face forward, it’s really not too late
To stay in the game we all call destiny or fate
God’s will or choices have the final say
In our crazy technological world today

The Online Search
JH Meares
Will true romance prevail
Underneath an online digital veil?
What type of connection?
Will it really be a true reflection?
Will it lead to more unanswered questions
Sought in the name of dreams and perfection?
Will it be a positive reception?
Or lead to more introspection?
Will true happiness arrive
Out of these online archives?
Online Romance???
for the online seekers...hopeless romantics even today...
Seekers online
JH Meares
What are we seeking…what do we want…?
Turning an online connection into a serious jaunt?
Using keyboard strokes to explain one’s life and passions
Never fully “colors in” the uniqueness of how someone’s life happens
Will it answer questions or merely spin it?
Can cyberspace convey and emit
A descriptive online essay’s spirit?
Is it faster or slower than the old way
of meeting and dating…if that’s not too cliched?
Click through too fast and miss someone great
Click through too slow and “uh oh” it’s too late
Indeed…the seeking of someone special online
Could be today’s challenge of our data infused lifetime
And quite a possibly journey to something sublime
Romance Online
JH Meares
Hey there it is
A possible online romance
Will it have legs?
Will it last?
No way to know
Until someone responds affirmatively so
Other than that
It’s waiting and seeking
Dating combat
And deleting
Sometimes it feels like too much
Other times you feel you’re in the hunt
Is he the right one for me?
Or am I the right one for he?
How can you know…
Computer responses are so slow…

Love Released
JH Meares
I won’t be tormented by love
I will be brave and feel its warmth from above
Thank you Lord for helping me see
The most important love in human history
I release love daily and feel great
It comes back ten fold not eight
The power of love is super amazing
Giving all I’ve got and I feel it saving
Others with needs far greater than mine
How special to be able to share this time
With others desirous of being the best we can be
On this planet earth together working assiduously
Gifting others with love, a force to be reckoned
We’ll stand and give all the way to high heaven
Cheering for love…how happy you see
Spreading joy to local humanity
Romantic Poems
Love’s Roads, Paths, and Trials
JH Meares
A heart I give thee without complaint
All I ask in return is love not hate
It is a bit scary
But beautiful and necessary
The lovers’ optimistic army I pray
Will live to see love forever and a day
Seeking a surrender love…is that ok?
Without fear or remorse
Just letting love run its course
Happiness from within and without
No longer the shadow of any doubt

blowin' chaos
JH Meares
is there a reason why you say “go away,
there’s no room in my life for you today”
Are those your commitment excuses and delays?
Probably thinking that you’re taking the higher ground
Yet to me it seems the foundation for your train of thought is not sound
Finding it most peculiar
that the idea of building a future
together
was never ever considered
I guess you’d broken your neurotransmitter
Mars and Venus communication issues rose again…
That cloudy nebula you felt you could hold in your hand
You want life as it suits you…
”we have the rest of lives to spend together”…was not true
Meaning two very different things to you and to me
Upon that distinction…we unequivocally can agree
Please do not use a loving woman’s emotions to feed your ego
Then offer the grandiose excuse blaming fear of the future as your credo
Your chaotic excuses came as a blow
Really a non loving gut punch, you should know…
so my new reality shift insists that exit you go
Oh well…twice God has definitely said no.
And you my dear fellow are not worthy of another go
My destiny awaits without you
So please blow...
Nature...the only perfect imperfect...
Romantic Poems
Boundaries of the Heart
JH Meares
Start with no fences or room to complain
Loving each other…no one to disdain
Heart stays open all day and all night
Giving nurture for life’s daily flight
So simple too
A kiss, a hug, or a smile will do
Holding a woman’s heart in his hands
Is a delicate procedure for that species called man
There are no maps, there is no chart
Love knows no boundaries of the heart
Does love conquer all?
Romantic Poems
The Disabled Heart
JH Meares
Heavens above I did want your love
I Ioved you so but you don’t appear to see
Friendship and lovers need two on the table…
Only one heart means love is disabled
Optimistic me looks for good in the people I know…
Consequently my lost love perception becomes romantic woe
Please understand you have my heart in your hand
I’m silly and know that only my blind love can misunderstand
The emotions of the creation called man…
I take my blame, unashamed and yet
Still grateful for magical moments
That remain in my mind
When I believed our stars had aligned
Intelligence, tenacity, perseverance, and more
Tenderness, patience, and kindness are what opened the door
to my heart
But look here sir…I am human and I do feel…
And I did believe what we had was real….
So some tears are now falling
As the lovin’ and kissin’ “thing” is no longer calling….
I’m glad we met, fool that I am,
Letting my emotions bend to a man
Without honorable intentions
Left unsaid gives fellows a measure of protection
The hurts of the heart could happen again…
But I will wait for that enchanting man who’s not playing a game
You once gave my heart wings…Passion and friendship…most precious things
But a romantic woman I am
I leave my heart on your table…and yes for now it is disabled…
Believe.
Romance Poetry
Nothing Left
JH Meares
(About the poem:
I think that we have all had those Mars/Venus communication moments...
Painfully becoming aware that our love was unrequited...thus needing to move on.)
I leave you now
Adieu
There’s nothing left for me and you
Abandoned by lack of interaction
No messages of love to give or show traction
Wow…
How hurt is my soul
As I could not know
Your innermost feelings and heart
As for me…mine was given at the start
The world awaits and a new muse is sought
Someone caring and tender and fraught
With creating a bond and inspiring devotion
Not empty words devoid of true emotion
My heart lays heavy and there’s a yearning in my soul
To be with a man appreciative of my whole
Your words cut deeply, I felt eschewed
There is nothing left for me to give you…
Flower breaks through to bloom undaunted by its supposed limitations.

I Leave A Candle Burning
JH Meares
I leave a candle burning
Unknowing of your love
Will you be true the way I do
I pray to up above
I leave a candle burning
Sustaining me through time.
Yet always feeling safe with faith
Most women cannot find
I leave a candle burning
Filled with hope and love
Until the day happens
I prayed for up above.

Did I Misconstrue?*
JH Meares
Did I misconstrue the loving
feelings I felt I had from you?
It felt like a magic romance
What was wrong with our slow dance?
Was it all a dream
No…it was amazing
And beautiful like your soul
A man from days of old
A future story yet untold
And yes I am afraid of being too bold
Fear of rejection you see…
So I bury my self in this poetry
