POETRY: ALL I SEE IS YOU

If I ever had to tell you
Just how much I care,
Then I think that I would start with
The fact that you are rare.

If I ever had to tell you
The way you make me feel,
Then I think that I would start with
The fact that your love is real.

If I ever had to tell you
What's going on inside,
Then I think that I would start with
The fact that I can confide.

If I ever had to tell you
Just what the future brings,
Then I think that I would start with
The fact of wedding rings

It allures me,
drawing me deeper within it's rapture,
So softly it caresses my eyelids,
The blade of my bare shoulder it captures.

Hypnotized by music,
heard only from within the heart,
It belonged to a legion of it's own
right from the very start.
Down the back of my neck and around to my ear,
When delivered with love and true passion,
nothing could be more dear.

Jubilant, Erotic, Mystical,
going from fragile to extreme in a breath,
From breast to breast, down belly and thigh.
It's lustful and sexy,
it's very presence could make you cry.

If the flame should ever burn out,
you're sure to miss,
A gift given from the gods,
the sound of a kiss.

Love is not dictated to
Love cannot be led by the weak will of the mind
 It simply flows wherever it is happiest
 And meanders from heart to heart like magic.
No matter how hard you try
Love cannot be placed where it will not
It will win over

The sun will set, the moon will rise,
After just one day's rest.
And take its place within the skies,
To do what it does best.

The stars will yawn and wake the night,
Appear for all to see.
The manifest as dots of light,
But glow so brilliantly.

Then finally, at long long last,
The pictures become true.
While constellations take their cast,
All I see is you.

A look in your eyes,
 said what we were.
A smile was enough,
 the rest was a blur.

Our lives haven't crossed,
 as much as our souls.
I'll love you forever,
 a tear in the dust.

I'd cry a million more,
 but the future won't change.
A tear in the desert,
 a tear in the dust.

Smile for me,
 I'll smile for you.
Walk for me,
 I'll walk for you.

Live for me,
 I'll live for you.
This life...
 the next.

I fear it bleeds through
 I sign this goodnight...
 and I love you

Two pairs of footprints
imprinted in the sand.
Two souls walk together
hand in hand.

Heart to heart;
never will part.
Madly, deeply in love

Her daydreaming embrace
entrusts itself to you,
but would not last
the sense inside
-such a soul, unable to grasp its warm scent...

It's a signal arrest
and no more directions,
the complexion's loss
never recoverable again,
clearing the call out
to the ground.

You too...
you always belonged
to another life,
not to mine:
everlasting landslide,
gone over and over
by the growing old alone pretence;

you've been made
for a kind of heart's waves,
reaching the stars legs;
kind of happiness hand-out
by your let down hair
-a windy silk sash
pointing an opposite way from me-

So much used
to the day by day tear off calendar
and the "none waiting for"
at home.

i thought of turning back
watching her form in the rear view mirror
as i drove away
slowly fading in tears and rain
the road ahead dark, ominous, undetermined
a road taken for reasons yet to be answered
she said she loved me when we parted
her arms enveloped me
a kiss and a tear on my cheek
our promise to keep in touch
then feeling the cold damp air
replacing her embrace as i left
days and nights of loving only her
seem like someone else's dream now
winding through the countryside
shadowy figures appear beside me
through the glare in the windshield
from an occasional passing car
hearing an eerie beckoning from the wind~
words that were never spoken or heard?
choices made have come to fruition
but in this love story there would be none
and the farther i drove away from her
the closer i drive to a conclusion~
broken circle...

By giving I receive, by sharing I partake.
With caring dreams I dream awake,
And I love simply for love?s sake.

Open heart and open arms are filled.
Open mind and spirit are healed
And I open doors never to seal.

Looking back, emptiness I see.
Looking ahead frightens me.
And looking at you, I see eternity.
