Dear Diary

For the poems below, the challenge was to write a "Dear Diary" entry, either in rhyme or free form, using the following words:
celestial, darkness, disbelief, embrace, footsteps, glow, heartbeat, shadows, silence, yearning

In the celestial darkness I embrace the sound of his
heartbeat, as he lays next to me. Within the shadows
I am still yearning for the warm glow of his passion.
Is this silence my heart's beating or footsteps I hear?
I am not sure how I feel. I feel disbelief as if this
is all a dream. When am I going to wake up?

Š2005 ~ Lady Deb

Dear Diary,

Still in the glow of passion
of his warm embrace
I feel his footsteps on my heart,
his kiss so sweet to taste....
Oh desire yearning
a thirst taking a hold
Two bodies in the darkness
as one celestial soul....
And there I hear his heartbeat
in the shadows of the night
Its silence is unending
to bring me such delight....
And yet I feel so empty,
it was just a bit of fun
Reflections stare in disbelief,
my God, what have I done?

Š 2005 ~ Christina

Dear Diary, as I sit here
In the twilight's softest glow,
There comes a quiet yearning
For the love I used to know.
The silence holds no footsteps
That my ears once longed to hear,
The darkness holds no warm embrace
With heartbeats oh, so near...
I've only lonely shadows
Creeping up across the wall,
As memories of disbelief
Run down the silent hall.
And yet my faith stays with me
Through each long and lonely night,
As I pray for understanding
With the dawn's celestial light.

Š2005 ~ Grandma Lyn

Dear Diary,
I stand in total disbelief
That I am left all alone,
To Face the shadows of the past
And to feel that I have no one.

I embrace the darkness
As I listen to the silence
No footsteps to be heard
As I lean upon the fence.

My heartbeat slows, the yearning lessens
As I watch the celestial bodies glow above,
I realize, I am never alone
I have the full power of God's eternal love.

Š2005 ~ Cheri

Dear Diary, in the darkness,
Of the shadows of the night,
Footsteps sound around me,
While my heartbeat races with my fright.
Suddenly, silence stretches about me,
A strange yearning fills my being,
Under the celestial glow of the stars above,
A stranger can be seen.
Disbelief crosses my face,
As recognition starts to be shown,
Finding myself pulled into your embrace,
I realize that I'm finally home.
