Share our Love letters and poetry

Robert and i met and fell in love on Facebook in Dec 2008 not that unusual these days but for us this was ground breaking.
The reason? you might ask
Well neither of us had ever dated or even met someone on the internet before we were totally internet virgins and the irony of this chance meeting is that not only were we both single and struggling to cope with the emotional trauma and broken heart of a previous relationship breaking up but also the fact we were over 4k miles apart. How this relationship ever got of the ground is pure destiny. Fate told us to work this out to sit, share love letters, talk, laugh and cry together. So we did and within a very short time maybe a week we both realized we were falling in Love.
What to do? Can we really begin a relationship so far apart. I recall the first day we spoke and Robert told me of his plans to come to the UK one day i remember joking saying we should meet for coffee. Well within month we were engaged via Skype and sent rings to one another via priority mail x Amusing as i write this but every word is true. This lens is to record and invite you to share our journey and is an insight into our writing and poetry we shared during the first six months that we were apart and had never met.
Enjoy and please follow our story - Adventures in Poland

Roberts first message to me

24th Nov 2008

first picture Robert saw of meHello Stephen...It was very kind of you to accept my friend request. Hope all is well. I also must say that I really enjoyed your photos. Especially the one with your black cat i have one just like it.
Drop me a line sometime.

Warm Regards,
Robert

My Response and how we connected

25th Nov 2008

Oh no not those drunken pics they are terrible my sis gets me in to all sorts of trouble you'd think id be old enough to know better...be good to chat on hear sometime
kindest regards stephen

Thanks for your sweet words...
i believe people are good im very naive but i prefer to trust and grow than be judgemental...i have chatted we some people on here (must say no where near as kind as you) !blush! but as this is reallly new to me i will prob learn who to believe and who to leave well alone.

Guessing you have no problem there your smiling in all your pictures..great chatting to you...this chat is all new to me not been single for very long and never used the internet to make friends....so thanks for your friendship and look forward to finding more about you.
look after yourself...and chat again soon
regards stephen

Awww! How adorable! Let me just sat that you don't have to thank me for my for my friendship however, since you have, I guess that means I can thank you right back (after all, it is Thanksgiving Day in the US today) . You really seem like a sweet man Stephen. Unlike yourself, I have been single for over four years. I was in a 5 year relationship that ended with my heart being broken (he needed some "space"). They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It's true but, it took me a bit over four years to realize it.

Anyway, I also enjoyed our chat very much and look forward to many more. I plan to be in the UK by June. Maybe we'll meet up for a pint sometime in the future.
Take care of you.
Sending warm regards along with hugs.
Robert

To the Absent Parent

30th Nov 2008

To the Absent ParentHi since we are sharing wanted to let you read my part written poem regarding the loss of a parent figure at an important time in our lives x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x

To the Absent Parent

Why make me your victim, you've made it your crime,
Strength of character, forgiving these attributes all mine.
So what's a few tears amongst us, why hide your head in shame,
What makes you unforgiving, why do we cry in vain.

You've never yet once spoke to me a child unto a man,
I never known your feelings i know i never can.
You left me by the roadside so young to cry in pain.
Walked away without us, you left me with the blame.

I threw myself upon them nameless they became,
Victims of our lossed love, they left me just the same,

Stand alone afore the, talller than i once was,
I call myself emotional and now you know because.
You left me by the road side faceless you've become
You played upon my weaknesses, now im the strongest one.

written by Stephen Pryce- Lea xx

I'm already missing the sound of your voice xx what to do ?

Absent Parent in response

1st Dec 2008

Wow! Very powerful words that I can definitly realte too. My father picked a bottle over his family. I was six when he left.

Stand alone afore the, talller than i once was,
I call myself emotional and now you know because.
You left me by the road side faceless you've become
You played upon my weaknesses, now im the strongest one.

I couldn't have said it any better myself. You hit the nail on the head with this stanza. Give me more time to digest the first poem. Each time I read it I love it more and more.

I had a wonderful dinner with my friends. Janine made Fettuccini Alfredo with a side of Ceasar salad (delicious!) and of course you were one of the topics of our many conversations. Janine saw your pic and says you are very handsome (so true!),

I'm really tired honey. I miss hearing the sound of your voice as well as that charming and smart accent.
Good night and sweet dreams my dear Stephen.
Love
Robert

Internet Cafe by Stephen

30th Nov 2008

Internet CafeThere so much i already want to share with you that i quite blown away by it all...willl be busy with the animals until about 3pm then i m free to chat for the rest of the day...and night now that sounds intense.

So you ve found that special some one in a place you ve never been, You made a real connection with a face you have never seen

If i passed you on the high street would you turn to glance my way,
Would my face remain a picture you remember to this day.

Now you sit across this table a face that i can touch,
your teaching me to love again that means so very much.

A million words we've written and never spoken sound.
You've always left me speechles and now it's me you,ve found.

Across this cafe table with face's rushing past,
Your here my love i've found you, your next to me at last.
I trust you'll always be here in my heart you'll ever be
A vision of my future that you can share with me. x

ok so it's only draft and a rough round the edges but it's ages since i've been inspired to write poetry and certainly not about love x..

Hope you managed to get back to sleep Luv Stephen

Stay safe here lie by me
I will hold you close i swear
Take you on a journey
With you i long to share.
from "Missing You"
by Robert Kiersnowski

Am i dreaming

28th Nov 2008

Stephen...I cannot stop thinking about you!! It's exciting as well as scary all at the same time for me. More exciting. I never told you how incredibly handsome I think you are! More importantly how sweet you are. I'm counting the days until I can possibly see your face in person.
I hope I'm not freaking you out, but I really feel a strong connection to you. I cannot even put it into words and I'm usually great at that.
Are you real or is this a dream?

In May love grow by Stephen Pryce-Lea

2nd Dec 2008

overgrown gardenThe lyrics you send as beautiful ...and i read them over and over and it makes me yearn for the day we can play music and listen to and discuss lyrics together in each others arms.

oh my god you won't believe this i've just woken with this poem i my head and as i write it i am so full of tears and emotion...whats happening to me never experinced anything so intense in my life...i have not every written like this before and it's all about us...i know it's child like poetry and my use of the english language is not particulary clever but non the less i love the sentiment and want to share these feelings with you.

In May love grow(s)

Kiss away those nightmares i'll keep you from harm, never going to hurt you, stay here in my arms,
Waking from our slumber your here next to me, touching, holding, loving you the way it ought to be.
Never dreamt i'd feel this, never been this place, wondering where you taking me, smiles across your face.

You led me to a garden, rough and overgrown, told me that you loved it here and you wanted me to know,
Hidden beneath the thorns and briars, hidden from our view,
a garden once you cherished a garden made by you.
Cleared away the bracken, along with all the weeds, tended to your garden and satisfied it's needs.

Our garden began beating we'd started up its heart...it's learning to love again and we'd both played our part
Wipe mud and tears from your brow, you took my hand and smiled, you've taught me how to love again you shouted it out aloud.
"My garden heart is beating..i love you with this wish, you going to share it with me" and you planted me this kiss. x

I have read and re read this poem about 6 times and i fill up each time i do so i am going to send it now..before i start crying again..x hope you like it.

In May Love Grows - In Response

2nd Dec 2008

What can I say? I Love the poem and am falling I'm falling in love with you Stephen. As crazy as that sounds, that is how I feel. So, there I've said it. Let it be known. My friend Donato came into the room as I was still on the phone with you (not wanting our conversation to end) and he could not believe that I was still talking with my "friend" from Whales. He asked me if there was anything serious going on between us? I said "Yes. Very Serious however, we'll talk about it another time". Had that been any other situation (other than ours) I would of told him everything. I think I'm a bit under the Illusion that this is still an Illusion. Then when I read this poem and tears roll down my face, I get a sense this is Real and my feelings are real and Yes Stephen...I Love You Too! I'm willing to give it my all again for the Hopeless romantic I am. So, as far as I'm concerned we are exclusive. Stephen & Robert. I think they look and sound great together. Just to let you know the first time I was at Stonehenge. I made a promise to myself that I would return to see again with my soulmate. Freaky!

Thank you Stephen! For giving me a reason to wake up at 4:30am. Longing for the day that we meet.
I'm going back to bed. I Love You. (Even though it sounds and is MAD)
Hope you are having a wonderful morning.
xxxxRobert

Just Tell Me The Truth by Robert

3rd Dec 2008

Once we were one and on the same page.
I would express my love for you in millions of ways.
When I'd say those three words, I felt so warm inside.
As if our love for each other, made our souls shine.
So why do I feel that something is making your mind change?
Why when you say "I Love You" it does not sound the same?

Could it really be, that you want to break free?
Make new plans for you and them not include me?

Please be honest. Just tell me the truth! I can feel that you're leaving. So, tell me how soon.
Don't let me hang on to this impossible dream. Just tell me the truth You owe that to me!

Well I know I'm not crazy Maybe going insane.
Yet I'm left with how come as well as taking the blame?
Now I can't forgive me, I should have known from the start.
What gives you the right to shatter my heart?
There's so much unsaid and much more undone.
No. I cannot watch you walk away u better see you RUN!

Will I ever be able to love anyone else?
I know that I'm not able of feeling sorry for myself.

Do not play mind games. Just tell me the truth! It's you who gave in, which makes you the fool.
I've learned now that dreams don't always turn out to be.
Just tell me the truth You never loved me!

And when you come to realize that you made a big mistake. Then you turn to reach for me but, I'm too far away.
Tell me the truth one last time If you could turn back the clock, would you leave or stay?

Robert C. Kiersnowski

"Im There"

I'm the sun in the rain
Shadows on the ground

Autumn leaves making sound

"I'm here" on top of the world
Hearing waves breaking shore
"I'm There" so turn around
Will love you FOREVER more

"Your Lover Im here so turn around"

I have to come clean

23rd Dec 2008

gay marriage proposalI Have To Come Clean
My Dearest Stephen I have to come clean,
I finally have met the man of my dreams.
I not to sure if you know this man,
We have many things in common and similar hands.

Do you think I should get on one knee and ask my love to marry me?
I know that is what I'll do, when we have had a chance to meet.
Stephen, do you think that he'll say yes?
I know it's as good as anybody's guess.

I'm convinced that if I take this chance, I'll finally get to see him dance.
Now that will be the begining of a True Romance.
He wants to spend Christmas Day alone,
I'll be by his side where ever he'll raom.

Since I've come clean, I must stay true,
This Amazing Love Just Happens to be YOU.

I Love You Stephen!!!!!!!
Sweetest Dreams Love!!

I Deserve It

30th Dec 2008

I deserve itHoney, You yet continue to amaze me! Thank you for coming into my life and turning my world around!

"I Deserve It"

This guy was meant for me
And I was meant for him
This guy was dreamt for me
And I was dreamt for him

This guy has danced for me
And I have danced for him
This guy has cried for me
And I have cried for him

Many miles many roads I have traveled
Fallen down on the way
Many hearts many years have unraveled
Leading up to today

This guy has prayed for me
And I have prayed for him
This guy was made for me
And I was made for him

Many miles many roads I have traveled
Fallen down on the way
Many hearts many years have unraveled
Leading up to today

I have no regrets
There's nothing to forget
All the pain
Was worth it

Not running from the past
I tried to do what's best
I know that I deserve it

Many miles many roads I have traveled
Fallen down on the way
Many hearts many years have unraveled
Leading up to today

I'm the sun in the rain
Shadows on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
Autumn leaves making sound
from "I'm There"

Jan 29th 2009

missing youHey Baby

Wanted to write a little something for the weekend ..it's not great but it does sort of tell you how i'm feeling so far away from you right now x missed not talking to you for longer last night but we were both so tired and falling asleep . I felt sad saying good night and had a little cry into my pillow as i longed for you to be with me..must get a grip counting down the days honey till i can reach out a touch you x x

Missing You !

Never even met you
Only know your name
Things that make you happy
Those things that keep you sane

Missing you so much, but why?
As i've never even touched you,
and long so much to try

Your a picture on a postcard
A voice inside my head
I wake with you here besides me
When i sleep I'm in your bed

Never felt so happy, never felt so sure
Your the man i want to marry Love
You are the one that i adore

Stay safe here lie by me
I will hold you close i swear
Take you on a journey
With you i long to share.

Love You Forever Robert x x these little steps are bringing us closer together all the time x x bring it on my love x yours Boo Boo

Love's Drug

These tears I'm wailing
I spill not without reason
Remove them my dearest love."

Wow! Where do I begin? I am 31 and have been diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease. I fell in love with the man of my dreams November 2008 and love him more and more as each day goes by. I have been lucky enough to have traveled throughout Europe, America and the UK. I am also a huge Morrissey fan and oddly enough Underground Dance Music is a hobby of mine that I'm growing back into. I am also a hopeless romantic. Over all I'm outgoing and easy to get along with. Drop me a line sometime if you would like. I'm a good listener. RESPECT!!!!!

Through the clouds

Through the clouds, through the universe straight into my heart your love travels.

When I talk to you, look at you, or just love you, my soul begins to unravel.

Passed the stars, into the galaxies, or on earth while relaxing under a tree.

Knowing that I always love you and you always love me.
Right here, right now. This has always meant to be.
Yes. You and me!

You and me you and I, Whatever we may be. Prepare to fly high.
To sing a song to the moon, then kiss and greet the sky.
Touching you would be a small taste of heaven. That at this time, I cannot not try.
We both know why.

Even though I cannot touch you, there is no question as to how much I love you.
With "Love's Drug" I have drugged you. Karma has allowed me to adore you.
Ask of me anything my love, and I'll do for you.

Now we sit face to face, an amazing feeling in such a wonderful place.
Stephen, I'm In Love With You, incase I have not mentioned.
Also very convinced that it is Divine Intervention.

Life sent me an angel

Loving you is so easy,
It's like we are meant to be,
This distance is a burden,
A cross we have to bear.

Remember that i love you,
cause that will never change,
more challenges we conquer,
the closer we will become.

I never feel alone now,
i know your here for me,
I will always stand beside you,
Smiling, strong and proud.

Calling you my honey,
my angel from across the sea,
I love you for who you are,
and what you mean to me.

If i can i will give my hand,
you already have my heart,
To keep you safe what ever falls,
Even if we are apart.

We've ventured on this journey,
It's like we have never been apart,
Things are moving forward were seeing how we fit,
So lets move up together lets let the future start.

If ever you feel scared or need a hand to hold,
I pray it's for me you turn,
For with you it's never cold,
I touch you and i'm lost, a place i'm glad to be.

Sweet Dreams My Love

At one point of my life not too long ago, never have I expected to fall in love so soon and for this genuine love to grow.
The thoughts of YOU that race through my mind, these are the very thoughts I was scared I might not ever find.
The most wonderful thing of all. Is that I love you with every beat of my heart.

I will help you up if you were to ever fall. When I first heard your angelic voice,

I knew that my greatest love journey would start.

I was up all night, waiting for some kind of miracle,
I was up all night, feeling alone in the universe.

I found you when I least expected. We are one now so, consider your heart fully protected.

Never will you ever feel rejected. The negative is no more but the positive we've intercepted.

Let's leave the negative the ones who cannot accept it.

May our love from this point on forever be reflected.
Written by: Robert Christopher Kiersnowski

Stephen, I wrote this for you off the top of my head. I know that you know how I feel about you. I just wanted to word it in a way that you would not ever forget.

I love you so much Stephen that sometimes I cannot put it into words until now.

Sweet Dreams My Love!! I love you endlessly.xxxxxxxx Robert
