    About this ebook

    This collection of poetry was inspired by poet P. A. Ramours Angel of Love, and it is with her in mind that he expresses his innermost thoughts and feelings of love.

    The poems in Murmurings of the Heart: One Angelic Kiss were inspired in the years after the poet P. A. Ramour discovered the relaxation and enjoyment of simply expressing his thoughts and feelings in verse. With no purpose or goal in mind beyond than the introspection, he writes of his early family life with humor and divulges some of his meanderings in nostalgia.

    Ramours life changed considerably with the passing of his wife and a failed second marriage; in response to these changes, his poetry became a release for his overflowing emotions. The newfound freedom to follow his love of music ultimately led to the meeting of his Angel of Love. Suddenly his need to write about his new love accelerated to an intense desire to pour out his heart in these poems. They became good friends, and before long her beauty and talent inspired Ramour to write of his love for her.

    Overwhelmed by her love of life, he opens his heart to her through Murmurings of the Heart. His verses reveal the true love and beauty of a relationship seemingly arranged in heaven for their golden years.

      Longing

      This book is dedicated to a foxy lady whom I call Angel.

      She brought a new kind of love to me in my golden years,

      the phase of life when most are settled in life’s routines.

      I Search the Stars

      I search the stars for an answer to a question I can’t even state.

      How can the stars even transfer their message to me or relate?

      From where will my enlightenment come?

      Shall I inquire beyond the unknown?

      There is an underlying urge of excitement.

      I’m in want for my curiosity to be shown.

      I know there is more than what is apparent.

      To understand fully is elusive.

      My inquisitiveness may seem errant.

      I know all that’s seen is inconclusive.

      Where Have All the Flowers Gone?

      My heart is telling me yet

      to write this epithet

      of a love passed in a season.

      In its time for its reason:

      Skoal!

      O! How I shall now lament

      of a love and time which has spent

      its desires and dreams,

      just to be rent from my soul.

      As leaves in autumn fall to die,

      my memories of our joys do cry.

      Our season to love has passed on by.

      It is winter in June, and I hear the bell toll.

      Do you cast away a love song so true

      only because it’s no longer new?

      Or do you feel its song is trying?

      Where are the tears?

      Should I be crying?

      Cajole!

      A conquest, you said was I, touché.

      A love found I.

      Olé!

      Look at me now this day.

      My heart is rent right from my soul.

      Again I’m reminded to lock my heart.

      Shall ever I unlock it again and start

      its exodus to the Promised Land?

      Behold!

      Where is my heart?

      Has it turned cold?

      I Must Go Now

      So now it’s time for us to part,

      although it is heavy on my heart.

      We’ve tried and plied our differences deep.

      We’ve cried, too oftentimes, ourselves to sleep.

      So I must go now.

      What you and I have been longing for

      is our love returned, as once before.

      Now it’s just a fantasy.

      Oh, how I’ve yearned to know again

      the joy we had another time when

      our love was new,

      our love was true.

      I worshiped you.

      So I must go now.

      No more to hear you call my name,

      first, with love and then disdain.

      No longer a need to reason why

      we’re unable to see eye to eye,

      or even try.

      And so, I must go now.

      Good-bye.

      Soar Like an Eagle

      Like a mother eagle with chicks in her high nest

      searching woodland and shore from East to West,

      her need before her, chicks hunger behind her,

      with outstretched wings carrying her

      from her love, for her love.

      Like the eagle my heart has risen from its brambly nest

      to soar, to feel the wind on my breast.

      I have sought pleasure these passing years,

      even to this day.

      Pleasure will not abide with fear.

      Together they will not stay.

      Although
