A Poem: An Ode to Pure Love

Dear Lovely Lady,

One of the many things I enjoy in this world is words and the many ways they can be combined to communicate strong and figurative emotion, such as in poems or short stories. I would like to share with you a few of my works in 2019. In the poem below, I write about a love that is so pure that by certain standards could almost be described as obsessive. The concept of love is supremely intriguing to me, so it happens to show up in many of my works. I hope you enjoy this "Ode to Pure Love".

Sincerely,

The Refined Lady

An Ode to Pure Love

With you, I walk on a fine line between obsession and passion.

My legs, they tremble

My knees, they’re weak

The path to you is long

I’ll crawl this stretch to you

For love,

To us,

So darling,

Let me show you what I know to be true.

Let me show you what can’t be seen

Through my lens

Look at me and only me

Watch me as I watch you

I’ll make you mine in a way that is just.

A way without lust.

And you will know pain

Endure the suffering

I’ll introduce you to true love.

Choice is the Spice of Life

Dear Lovely Lady, It's that time of the day again. Time for the evening check lists to come out and for work to go to bed. For a long time I always considered my evenings to be a time of escaping reality. No responsibilities and no pressure for deadlines. Procrastination was number one on the agenda, but recently I've had quite the change of heart. Every minute of our day we make a choice, down to the second. I think I've heard it called the butterfly effect, but it's more than just a work of fiction. Every choice we make is another building block to our not so distant future. From the people we associate with, to the route we take to work. We choose what we want for our future, as improbable as that might sound. So acknowledge your power. Let it be your decision. Indeed, always remember, your choices are the spice you add to life. Sincerely yours, The Refined Lady

Enveloping Myself in Self Love

Dear Lovely Lady, Self-love to me is waking up early in the morning bright and doe-eyed after a full nights rest with full anticipation of what the day has in store for me. Rolling out of bed and making sure all of the pillows and blankets get to where they belong. Preparing a peach-flavored oatmeal and adding extra walnuts, while steaming milk for a Citron Green tea-flavored latte to be sipped for the entirety of my morning ritual. Sitting at a table facing the windows with the curtains pulled back to watch as the sun rises and graces me with it’s rays of pink and orange rays of light, while I sit and write in my hot pink notebook that cheerfully suggests I “Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti” in gold foil. Meanwhile, I’m still wrapped in my soft throw blanket, recalling the events of the day before and writing what’s on my mind and in my heart. Then, getting up and cleaning up after myself, ensuring everything is placed back to its rightful home, and ...

A Letter from a Dear Friend

Dear Lovely Lady, If you have ever wondered what the world would be like if you could be the best version of yourself, it’s time for you to stop wondering. Ask yourself, what would she do if she were in your shoes? I’m talking about the best version of you. When you’re faced with a choice ask yourself this question and honor her decision. In this manner, you will slowly become her, that best version of you, and you will know what it finally feels like to become that person you’ve always wanted to be. XOXO, The Refined Lady P.S. Don't forget to come back! I look forward to getting to hear from all of you. Cheers!
