POETRY: THE BEAUTY OF YOU AND I

every moment i close my eyes
dreaming of you
is my utmost desire

i always wanted that one morning
i'll open my eyes having you beside me
and dreaming no more

how i wish you are the first light
that shines on me
each time i wake up in the morning

the fragrance of early morning flowers
is but to attest that they too are one
in saying you're my only one

If my love for you could be measured by volume,
God's great universe could not hold it all.

If my love for you could be measured in distance,
The farthest star would not be far enough.

If my love for you could be measured in time,
Only God Himself could last longer.

If my love for you could be measured in strength,
Hell's angels could not bring it down.

If my love for you could be measured in desire,
The sun's flames would be only a candle.

My love for you cannot be measured.
My love for you I cannot deny.

I love you that much and with all that I am.
And I will beyond the day that I die.

From the bottom of my heart baby
I want you to know....
That I love you more than words can say
or express how I feel for you and you alone!

From the bottom of my heart baby
I say hear and now
Will you marry me?

From the bottom of my heart baby
I know we were meant to be a couple
From day one to now!

I loved you!
From the bottom of my heart baby
To the very edges of the universe1

From the bottom of my heart baby
I thank the Lord for blessing me...
With my very own Angel!

From the bottom of my heart baby
I tell you now, on this very day......

A single tear fell upon your cheek,
Removed by stroke of tender touch, sublime,
And touched by love within each other, seek,
To forgive and love until the end of time.

A single kiss upon your eyelid, closed,
Pain unbound - our souls became as one,
Eternal are we... who seek the endless road,
Another day, another dawn... another sun.

The words you whisper to me,
are so soft and so dear.
The sound of your voice,
is like sweet thoughts in my ear.

Your scent melts my body,
like ice on a hot day.
Your touch sends chills down my body,
like the first time I met you.
                
You are everything to me,
my life; my destiny,
and most of all,
you complete me...

As a flower in a garden,
At the palace of my heart,
Beneath evening's gentle breeze,
Let you blossom as a queen.

From hands of wild storms,
I'll protect you forever,
In every touch of my poor hand,
Let you feel as cotton leaves.

Lean on me and sleep in my heart,
Endless songs will swing you ever,
In the cradle of your heart,
Let me call you my baby.

Don't cry darling, Oh my heart,
I'll treat you like infant,
I'll feed you all my souls,
And..you will belong to my life.

Oh my dearest sit by me,
Let me eye you forever,
I adore feeling your warm breath,
The fragrant smell of your body,
I am captived by your charm.

Relax beneath the shadow of a tree,
Airing-out your long hair,
Millions of kisses, gift of wind,
Lie in the mood in your rose bed.

Put your cotton hands on my chest,
Feel the breath of my inner drums,
Let it echo ever in your mood,
And.. we will become one.

Every spark of your soft lips,
Flows into a stream of love,
Let us follow, as a river,
Into the deep sea of love.

I look
At the wrinkled pillow where you lay
...And the room is darker.

I look
At the back of the chair where you sat
...And the air grows chill.

I look
At the memory
Of the gardenia scent of you,
Of the smile in your eyes

...And am surrounded in light and warmth.

It's not shiny and new
it doesn't make any noise
it's not even the color blue
It's not gift wrapped in pretty paper
or, tied with a bow...
you can't touch it,
see it or, smell it
...but, you can feel it.

Close your eyes and feel it.
Can you feel my love flowing over you?
Touch me and feel love...
kiss me and drink love...
hold me and hold love.
look into my eyes and see my love for you.

Now open your eyes and see me...
truly see me and all I have to offer you.
My love is yours to rejoice in.
Let my love into your heart,
let it soothe your soul...
caress your dreams to life...
let my love awaken your heart to the beauty of you and I.

conversing with the moon one night
i asked of and about you
"more elusive is she than i" said he
"unheard is her heart, yet it sings
and the voice, soft as a breeze
surely you cannot catch her"
and he left
shaking the trees in passing

conversing with the sun one day
i asked of and about you
"more brilliant is she than i" said he
"unseen is her soul
yet happiness abounds there
and her smile chases away clouds
surely you cannot win her"
and he left
raising the temperature in passing

conversing with the sea one afternoon
i asked of and about you
"more fluid is she than i" said she
"unquenched is her love, it surpasses all
surely you cannot satiate her"
and she left
throwing the waves that were her hair about wildly

conversing with an angel in a dream
i asked of and about you
"more in love with you is she than anyone" she said
"it is seen in her eyes, sung in her heart, felt in her soul
all you could ever ask for is there for the taking
surely you must have seen it, heard it, felt it?
the sun, moon and sea have always wanted her...
all she ever wanted was you"
and she left
placing me in my love's arms...

Through every breath I take,
It doesn't take the ache,
After every step- I move on,
The face I have, I fall upon,

Your touch upon my heart,
Those feelings will stay- never depart,
The faith within will never go,
Your true love, I know,

Faithful in all ways,
You leave me in such a daze,
Within my life you are so abundant,
I hope and pray you don't become redundant,

Your love, your life, my longing,
That one smile, that amazing beauty,
One day ahead... it will shine.

What is it to love, my dear,
what is it to feel, my love,
what is it to see, my sweet,
what others do not?
what is it, my dear,
to wake up and think of someone so dearly
as i would of u?
what is it, my love,
to breathe the air so fresh
knowing that u r breathing it too?
what is it, my sweet,
to say the words so true
when i know that they r meant for u?
what is it, my dear,
that makes me feel so much for u?
why do i see u the way i see u, my dear?
why do i look at u and see what i wish to see?
what is it, my love, to know that u do miss me
in times when i miss u so dearly?
what is it with me, my dear,
to feel so much as this...
what have u done, my love,
to make me a man so deranged?
is it love, my dear,
or is it a passing wind of emotions...

what is it to ride the waves
and see a diving dophin or two...
what is it to fly through the clouds
and emerge the other side looking at mountains so blue...
that is how i feel, my dear,
ever since u smiled to me with those eyes so endearingly
what is it, my dearest,
to be just with u?
to spend the rest of my days
with someone as special as u...

As I lie my head down to sleep,
I hope to only have sweet, wonderful dreams of you.
As I slowly close my eyes, I instantly see your face...
so pure...so sweet.
I see your caring smile and beautiful eyes.
I see you giving me the look
that makes me melt like ice cream in the hot July sun.
I notice the way you move, the way you fixed your hair
and the way you look so sweet and caring
among the field of the purest roses.
Then you hold your strong yet gentle arms out,
only to embrace me with all the love and care
one could possibly ever want.
And as I look up, into your beautiful eyes,
Our eyes lock...
And in that moment, that lasted forever it seemed,
I caught a short yet entrancing glimpse of my...
Angel in Disguise.

As I stare out of my window into the night,
Thoughts of you linger in my mind
Wondering where you are
Wondering what you are doing
Wondering if you're thinking about me
Longing to be there
Beide you
Inside you- into your mind's inner thoughts
Exploring your dreams
Making them reality
Realizing that my dreams are you
And that yours are of me
Wishing to fly into your room
Like an angel of love
To stroke your hair
To touch your face
To lay beside you
To let you awaken, and find me there
Having you gaze into my eyes
And know that I"ll always be there
In dreams and in reality
To give you happiness
Because I love you
