POETRY: ACHING FOR YOU

As time goes on I realize,
just what you mean to me,
and now that you're near,
promise your love that I've been waiting to share.

And dreams of our moments together,
colour my world with hopes of loving you

I ache for you...

As the minutes crawl slowly by,
I pine to hear your voice again,
so soothing and warm.

I ache for you...

My heartstrings stretch
across the solitary miles,
tentacles of love
yearning to twine with yours.

I ache for you...

Longing for the day
the eyes that have stared at me
from your photograph,
will gaze into mine, for real.

I ache for you...

Yearning, with the knowledge,
that only your touch, your kiss,
and your sweet caress
will dispel the shadows of loneliness.

Do the gut wrenching pangs of love
afflict you, as they do me?
As I lie awake at night...

I ache for you.

Can I hold you forever
And never let go?
Can I stare into your eyes till I go blind
Without you ever saying, "no"?

Can I sit with you an entire night
Without saying a word
And when I leave...
Can I feel like everything I've said has been heard?

Can I tell you every emotion
And every thought in my head...
And can I not tell you but have you only look at me,
And I will know that my thoughts have already been read?

Can I lie awake every night
And trade sleep for thoughts of you...
And can I wake up each morning
And know the dreams I just had will come true?

Can I remember each moment
And can I remember each kiss...
And can I replay them in my mind every second
And know that it's only you I will miss?

Can I hold you in my heart forever
And will you stay there for eternity?
May I lock my heart in a vault
And only give you the key?

Can I tell you with complete honesty
That each thought I have is of you
And can I have your word
That what we have will never be through?

Can I tell you all of these things
Without blinking an eye,
And will you rest yourself in my arms
And never say good-bye?

From the highest ledge
of heaven,
I felt your hand
reach out for mine
and I longed to feel
the warmth
of your perfumed skin
held tightly
against my heart;
re-united with my soul.

How beautiful is this day.
I have you.  I have the sun, moon, and stars.
What more could I need.
The light dances off of your eyes like
Tiny fireflies in the dark night.
You are beautiful and you are me.
I see you in me and me in you.
How does someone explain something so perfect?
I cannot imagine life without you nor remember
Life before you.
You have made me me and I you.  I love you.

You are my entire being,
The world in which I stand.
The strength which enriches me,
Please take me by the hand.

And lead me to our paradise,
soft words you'll whisper to me,
Hold me tight within your arms,
and let our hearts fly free.

Last night, I dreamt of thee,
But light had barely touched thy face.
It was the way thee had held me,
Impossible for such a memory to erase.
Had I looked beyond the dark,
And shut my heart to thy sweet voice
I would have noticed that tiny spark,
But in your arms, I haven't had a choice.
To dream of thee, is to hold thee,
Although thy face I could not see.
But when I looked into your eyes,
It took only a moment to realize
That face I once failed to recognize.
Now that I had finally met thee,
You are more than just a dream to me.

she of morning sun and blossoms
she of twilight glow and enchantment
omnipresent is her love
whether illuminated of sun, moon or stars
her radiance is pervasive
and fills my own heart
with a warmth compared to none
and the proximate distance
in which we stand
whether in daylight or darkness
is relative in nature
to shadows standing side by side
discerning one from another ~ impossible
therein lies the magic
between day and night
of two as one
forever in love...

Would you like to take a walk with me?
Just take my hand and leave with me
To go outside where now it's winter time
and we shiver and cuddle down inside our coats
just a little further;
and I hold your hand a little tighter
and tuck your hand with mine into my coat pocket
and pretend it's for warmth
as I smile up at you, and we walk.

Time passes by and we talk some,
and laugh a lot and smile some
and we sometimes just walk quietly a bit
and listen to the silence between us
speak volumes of caring and the enjoyment of "us".
And I just look into your eyes,
and see my smile to you mirrored back into mine.

Soon we realize that so much time has gone by
but it really was just an instant, wasn't it?
Wasn't it!!
Do we really have to turn around and go back?
Will the time seem longer as we return?
I pray it does, but no matter - we're here.

When we return, we just smile and know
how special that little bit of time was
just you and me, smiling and laughing
as we walked and shivered just a little in the cold
but not feeling anything but the warmth between us
as we walked along and just shared "you and me".

If this could be, as I picture it here
would you, Dear One, take a walk with me?
Come, take my hand..just "you and me" 8-)
I'd love for you to take a walk with me.

On this day, I do declare
A love everlasting to you,
                 This I swear.
You lift me up, you take me higher
                       You are my wings
                       You are my desire.
That is one reason, and there a many more
                        That my love is so strong
                               That it is you I adore
Your Patience, your love, your kindness from the heart
                      One look in your eyes
                      And my heart melts part by part
You have won me over with your special little charm
                                   And I know that with you
                                   I will never see harm
The smile on your face that always tells all
                          I look and you and know
                          My life with you will be a ball
Never a day will I ever be sad or alone
           You are the one who melted
                       My heart of stone
So as you I love you in so many ways
       And it is you I want to spend
                   The rest of my days
The vows that we say on that day
          Will come from heart
   And  never go away

My heart beats for you
My eyes search only for you
My hands touch only you
I need only you
I want only you
My memories are of you
My future revolves around you

In the night she came to me
and sat on the bed next to me,
she leaned over and kissed me...
a kiss so soft, a kiss so tender,
it was like a summer breeze
blowing gently on my cheek...
hands touched me with love and care,
fingers with the velvety touch...
her eyes of coal so dark and bold,
    that gave me the look
       I knew was love...
        she whispered
     so no one could hear,
        "I love you"
            and
      "My love for you
      will go on forever"...
 as she leaned over to kiss me
 and my arms went to hold her..

The woman i love hears my voice in her thoughts.
She knows that her heart is engraved with my love.
The woman i love touches me with hopes of love.
She knows that i will race and meet my day.
The woman i love whispers for her heart.

The woman i love treasures love and stands for love.
She knows that love withstands distance and time.
The woman i love sighs with love and glamour.
She knows that precious principle of love.
The woman i love, her pulses are love.

The woman i love dictates my whole universe.
She knows that my heart breathes with  her.
The woman i love is the one love i ever wished.
She knows that i long for her sight.
The woman i love never gives up on me.

The woman i love needs me and never turns away.
She knows that battle of life and agony.
The woman i love takes away my  pain and feeds me love.
She knows that i, and  my heart, are hers.
The woman i love is my sole love.
