Sheila Moschen asked me to read 3 of my love poems for a Valentine Day’s Show on her KHOE radio program, Let Your Heart Sing. This 38-minute show (#56) aired on Monday and Tuesday this week at 1:00 and 7:00 pm, and will soon go into her archive. The last musical selection Sheila played was the beautiful love song, Longer, by Dan Fogelberg (at 33:05). The 3 short poems, about a special relationship I shared with my sweetheart Sally Peden, complete the show (at 36:34).
UPDATE: The show also replayed the following year on Valentine’s Day, Wednesday, February 12, 2020 with new links on OneDrive and YouTube.
CELEBRATING VALENTINE’S DAY WITH MUSIC AND POETRY
COMMITTED
a two-haiku poem
When the tide rolls in
bows of boats bump each other
tethered to the dock
With our ups and downs
we remain tied together
solid as a rock
~
This is a quiet love
One of simplicity and easiness
No complications here
It’s too late in life for that sort of thing
Just time to be best friends
~
Some people are stargazers
We were soul-gazers
Looking in each other’s eyes
Windows to the Soul
A Self-reflecting mirror
Drawing us nearer
Love … looking … at Love
World Radio KHOE 90.5 FM is broadcast from the campus of Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa.
Sheila also asked me to read another love poem, The Enlightened Heart, on an earlier show.
Some favorite love poems: i carry your heart with me by e.e. cummings | Emily Dickinson succinctly describes the eternal nature of Love in this short but powerful poem | Love after Love, by Derek Walcott, resonates deeply when you first acknowledge yourself.
