POETRY: BEAUTY WITH A TINT OF INNOCENCE

Beholding the beauty of a sunrise,
Glistening upon your wings,
Gives me life, as I was drowning.
Teardrops fell from my eyes,
As I gazed into the sky.
I seen a majestic eagle soaring by.

I was engulfed with solitude,
For my Warrior has been gone for
Many a moon.
My heart weeps and my soul cries,
Longing to feel the warmth of my Warriors pride,
To shield me from a cold winter's night.

My beloved to whom do you speak,
To whom do you confide.
Is it the great white buffalo standing by,
Or can it be your Maiden touching your dreams.
She is the pure white dove,
To your brave heart shall she sing.
She keeps watch as you sleep,
Perched high up in a tree.

Just as sunrise comes
Your true love will descend,
Spreading her wings and flying again.
So, when you wake, my beloved Warrior,
Look and you shall see,
Her kindred spirit shall never leave,
She will love you for all time to
Eternity.

If I could meet you in my dreams,
And be with you tonight;
Then I would take you in my arms,
And together we'd take flight.

We'd soar above the clouds so high,
And watch the towns below;
We'd fly up to the mountain peaks,
And dance across the snow.

I'd take you down below the sea,
To play among the fish;
I'd walk with you along the beach,
And on each star make a wish.

If I could meet you in my dreams,
These things with you I'd do;
For all the stars up in the sky,
Can't shine as bright as my love for you

Do I dare to dream of loving you?
Hold me, need me, want me, love me.
Take me into your world and let me know it.
You came into my life, you heard my every word,
You were there, not wanting anything from me,
You became my friend.

It scares me when I tell you how I feel,
I am afraid your heart doesn?t race
Every time I come to mind,
Like thoughts of you do to mine.
There is such a distance between us,
But all I have to do is close my eyes,
And I can feel you touching me, holding me, loving me.
At night, as I pray,
I ask God if the feelings I have are right.
When morning comes, I awake to only want you more
Than the day before.
Happiness in the words you say,
The feeling of meaning something to you,
How alive you make me feel with your embrace,
Have broken down the walls I built around my heart.
I may be asking too much,
But to have your heart and feel the excitement
At the sound of your voice and at your touch,
To feel the warmth of your breath as we make love,
To have you open a new world for me
And give me your love is everything I need...

In your dreams of mystic blue she lies

her silhouette steals a gaze

in the picturesque of nightfall

I'm lost in the sweetest daze.

She reflects upon streams of summer

beauty with a tint of innocence

as blossoms of white in June

she captures my deepest sentiments.

The sunset falls within doves eyes

and gilds sapphire skies

her lips pours honey kisses

across mines.

Come away with me in the night

let me show you I care

the touch of bliss at moonrise

a moment so sweetly shared.

Come away with me in the night

romance is in the air

you hold me captive in the starlight

by the tresses of your hair.

How long must I play this soliloquy

as she pass in the breeze

in deep blue seas

my fingers gently dance on lavienan string;

like spring, when bluejays sing

and melodies of a dream

sweep my mind,

emotions blind

feel my soul rise high to the sky.

You were never so beautiful in the twilight

as you was last night

standing as a queen by turquoise rivulets

with ebony dark eyes.

I'm dazzled by your regal grace

no blemishes on your face

I can see you by the window paen

your radiance in the moonlight haze.

Here in the gloaming with me,

moment is so sweet,

all free my love, I stare

you sleep.

My life entwined with yours

the scarlet lily I adore

she lies across fragrances of hydrangeas,

and pink azalea floors.

In the silence epressions with meaning

and she one half of my life

the sight of waterfalls in the gleaming

in dreams of mystic blue.

you sleep.

You've taught me
How to say what I really mean
To know just the right words
To express myself with sincerity
You've taught me
How not to judge someone superficially
To always search deep within
And accept them for who they are
You've taught me
How to smile and laugh
To find happiness in life
And to find joy in the littlest things.
But most of all
You've taught me
How to love openly
To search for the ends ofthe rainbow
And to believe in the magic of one's dreams

being with you
is like coming home
to the warm, the familiar,
the comfortable.

being with you
means simply being me,
without the need for masks,
without the pretensions
of being somebody else grand.

being with you
is like coming home once again.
and i want to come home...

Within the hollow of my heart,
the 'knowing' rests patiently.
Yet, the wait wears upon my thought,
and the other world of shallow minds
seeks to weaken the truth.

When you drift off into dreams tonight,
Send your heart my way.
And I'll send mine to meet you,
Where love can have it's play.

And send your soul there also,
Though the distance might be far.
Perhaps out there our souls will touch,
Somewhere among the stars.

I've been searching for a lifetime,
For someone who understands.
My deepest hidden passions,
The way I think you can.

Could our dreams connect each other,
In a place we've never been.
In a way we've never touched,
But here we might begin.

Could you confide all your passions,
Talk of wants, your needs and cares.
Talk of pain and oh yes laughter,
In this dream far off somewhere.

It would not be an easy task,
To connect a dream that way.
Yet that's why dreams are special,
Because you think they might someway.

though the sun is shining and the sky is blue
my heart longs for you...
deep inside me there is a hole that only
your love can fill...

when you look at the stars tonight
let it be my eyes you see
and there you will find all the love I have for you
so, if you are lonely and blue while missing me
know this, my luv, that my heart is longing for thee...

as I dream tonight, I'll dream of you
and in this dream we will be as one...
kissing, touching, tasting desire that burns oh, so hot!
both seeking pleasure and release
from the heat that binds us together....

and as we crest the top of the mountain
in, oh, sweet ecstasy!
look into my eyes and you will see
my soul opened to you and
everything that I have and all that I will be
because of your love for me.

I find it sad...
we wait out whole lives to find true love
yet, when it comes knocking at our door
we turn it away like a beggar without money.
Why is it we do this...
are we too selfish,
too self-absorbed,
too scared?
Too scared of what we know so little about;
Or, are we just scared of the word Forever?
Love is supposed to be...
so powerful,
so mysterious,
and so wonderful.
So, why do we turn it away?
A question that will never have an answer

When two hearts meet as ours do
When one and one, so perfectly, make two
When laughter and tears collide
When rapture and fear reside
When one is meant for another
When our hearts and minds lay uncovered

There is simplicity in every kiss
There is a heartbeat in every wish
There is meaning in every word
There is strength in the absurd
There is wonder in daily trials
There is the thing that makes life worthwhile

When all things come together, old and new,
That is when I know... I love you


12

I LOVE...
The look in your eyes,
The smell of your hair,
That makes me have to stop and stare.

The softness of your skin,
The feel of your lips,
As I'm touching you with my fingertips.

The warmth of your smile,
How you act so shy,
Makes it harder to say goodbye.

The shape of your body,
When you smell so good,
It makes me want to love you the way I should.

These are the things that make me love you,
and me loving you is my favorite thing to do.

How safe and warm is the 'knowing'
when our souls and bodies blend in perfection.
Soft words whispered in the light, strengthen the joy of my being
and, in rememberence, taunt me with doubt and fear.

In the humanness of my past, my own worthiness is questioned
and seeks to corrode what is true.
I seek for patience and courage,
to the one whose eyes shine, so gently, upon me...
whose smile I gaze upon adoringly
and whose love bears down into the depth of my being.

So, the wait becomes a test of swords
where the truth seeks to outwit the imagination
in a prayer that the rainbow follows the rain.
I know we are meant to be..to love..to laugh..to cry..to heal
and to relax into each other's arms.

Yet, the wait wears upon my thought
as the other world of shallow minds
seeks to weaken the truth
