POETRY: COME TAKE MY HAND

Daybreak arrives with the rays
of the sun dancing on your skin,
as if happy to be holding you
in it's warmth.

The very air blushes when around you.
The feeling of closeness.
The stars at night are envious
of your smile that glistens, so,
in the moonlight.

Your eyes are like a beacon,
showing me the way to the wonders
that would be mine to have.

The very winds can be heard fighting
among themselves to get inside the windows.
Wanting to love you like the sun, moon,
starlit night, and air.

Then comes the rain ~ crying
wanting to be as close as the rest
and waiting its turn.

The earth itself, selfish with you,
feeling your steps and holding you there.
Not wanting to give you up to air, water,
the heavens and celestial bodies.

How lucky I am among all these entities
to be holding you, kissing you, loving you.
The very essence of you courses through me
and my love is you forever.

If I could write a sonnet on a star
Then bottle it and toss it to the sea
Would it travel to the corners of the earth
And echo there the love I hold for thee?

If I could write a sonnet on the moon
Then bottle it and toss it to the winds
Would it find your heart so you may briefly know,
Where your love ends is where my love begins?

If I could write a sonnet on the sun
Then bottle it and toss it throughout time
Would someone from a distant galaxy,
Find no greater love than what was mine?

Yet, I cannot write a sonnet on a star,
Nor moon, nor even on the blazing sun,
Nor bottle words to send them where you are,
Nor coerce our separate hearts to beat as one.

And so my darling you will never hear
The humble words of love I wrote for thee
They remain encrypted, tightly sealed,
And yet, they travel on eternally.

There's no such thing
as loving someone too much.
There's no such thing
as not wanting to feel that soft sweet touch.
There's no such thing
as fearing nothing.
You're the only one
who makes me feel like I'm something.

Love, defined by Webster as:
?An intense affection for another person
based on personal ties.?

I define it a bit different.
I define love by the look on your face as I stare into you eyes,
By the way that you smile
just because we are in the same room together,
By the way that you laugh when I say something silly,
By the way we hold each other after making love.

Love is also that feeling we get when we miss each other so much,
That feeling we get when we want to touch each other- but we cannot,
That feeling where our hearts are not complete,
because we are far away.

They say that we are lucky if we experience true love
just once in our life,
We are, therefore, VERY lucky people,
since we have something many people will never get to understand.

Yes indeed, Love has many definitions,
but without you, I define Love as... nothingness.

Come on take my hand, show me you're no longer afraid,
The memories are still there and our hearts are still linked somehow.
I asked you if you wanted to go back to the way things used to be,
But now I understand, it's no longer me that holds that special key.

That's our star we made many wishes upon, and the sky
We used to sit and stare at, that was our park we used to walk
So many times around, and can you see, that was our bench where
We would lay together and tell our dreams our wishes... that's our star.

Show me again how dreams come true, Though I know your love is
with someone else, I wonder why you're here with me? Could it be
I still hold a special place too, could my wishes and dreams come true
I don't know how to say goodbye very well, so, I don't think it will be easy.

That's our star we made many wishes upon, and the sky
We used to sit and stare at, that was our park we used to walk
So many times around, and can you see, that was our bench where
We would lay together and tell our dreams our wishes... that's our star.

I guess this is it, so final it is, I will miss the joy and happy times
we once shared. Maybe I was wrong this was a little easier than I thought
I think it's because I know your in love and now so am I again
you hold the key to our past and our star.. Can we wish again,
tell me will it come true, I shall wish nothing more than to be back with you...

That's our star we made many wishes upon, and the sky
We used to sit and stare at, that was our park we used to walk
So many times around, and can you see, that was our bench where
We would lay together and tell our dreams our wishes... that's our star.

When you realize you found the one,
And begin your life with your one,
It all but seems a moment in time.

When before you can tell the one,
How much you truly care,
Your moment with your one is gone.

But smile though your tears dear heart,
For you and I shall meet again,
In but a moment in time.



7
Forever and a day,
Is how long I will love you.
Until the end of time,
Is how long I want to be with you.
Count all the stars in the sky,
And multiply by a thousand and three,
That's how much I love you...
How much do you love me?

Your sweet words are lifting.
My heart was forever drifting...
Until it found your hands to lay in.

When I was down, your smile made it right.
Everytime we're together, you light up my life...
Cause our love will always light our way.

I know I could never find someone else like you.
Who's open to me and lets her feelings shine through...
Forever you'll be, inside of me!

You are the whisper on the soft evening breeze,
gently caressing the side of my face, telling me you love me.
You are my sunshine on a warm summer day,
resting on my shoulders, wrapping me in a warm embrace,
feeling your love soak into my flesh.
You are the stars in the quite winter night sky,
sparkling like diamonds in the darkness of my life.
You are the first flowers of spring,
showing new life even after the longest death.
You are my every sunrise and sunset for the rest of my life.
My first thought in the morning, my last thought at night.
You are all I need, all I want.
All of my dreams and hopes I see in you eyes.
My happiness I have found in your smile.
I am you, just as you are me,
together becoming one perfect love.

Hello out there,
my love.
Our day
is yet to come.

I know you are
waiting for me
.......and.......
I for you.

But, it's not time yet
for us to meet again.

Of course, we've known
each other before.

So it will really
be a re-union.
Of love,
of spirit...
of ecstacy.

This time is special
and we will

Finally be ready
to give all...
to love all.
To finish
what we started
so long ago....
This time

.....my love...

To the LOVE of my life, to the special one
Touch me, feel me, Shine like the sun

Your fingers through my hair, I can see you stare
Your arms embrace me, I see you face me

Your kisses, Your whispers
You're warm like a light
Your magnificent glow
Your eyes like stars in the night

I love you, I touch you, we share each other
You love me, you touch me, we care for one another

You light my candle that burns so bright
You see the glow within my sight

Soft, tender, lips that sing
You touch me special, my heart just rings
Do you hear it?




12

why do i care for you so much?
why do i wake up at night and yearn for your touch?
could it be the way you talk?
or maybe the way you walk?
if it's not that, what could it be?
it has to be the way you say my name and smile
or when you're 2 feet away, how it feels like a mile
it's probably the way you kiss me after i say "i love you"
ok, now i know why i do
simply because it's you

Love came sitting, like a butterfly, on my nose.
Deep down in the 4th room of my heart someone sang
A tune of: love me please,
Love me slow, love me sweet and love me gentle.
anyway, love me though...



14

The honey dew from your lips can wet the desert's breath,
And brings forth life and love... despite its swath of death...
Who could penetrate the sanctum of your mind,
And live among your wishes so you would never mind

No one can do this - it's out of human force,
Like catching in the field a galloping, angry horse.
I'll try to hold your rose in the garden of my soul,
And keep the bud alive in case of creeping remorse




15

Before I met you, my life was lonely and cold.
Then you came and brightened my life.
You were like an angel sent from above and bright as gold.
I wish sometime, in the way distant future, for you to be my wife.

Before I met you, I didn't know what love truly was.
Then you showed me what it truly is to love and be loved.
You opened a new world full of hopes, wishes, dreams, and ideas.
I love you because of all you've done and because you really cared.

Before I met you, there were so many things I hadn't experienced.
Then I learned that dreams and wishes could come true.
You showed me what it was like to be held, loved, hugged, and kissed.
Not very many people have liked me, only a very few.

Before I met you, I didn't know what it was to truly live.
Then you and your love came along and I changed.
I can never repay you for the gifts you give.
You loved and cared for me when no one else dared.

Walking Along The Edge Of Ecstasy
With The Magic Of The Sunrise Hand In Hand
Looking At Your Body Glistening Like The Sun Itself

Seeing You From Day To Day Is Like A Prayer Answered
From Yesterday, To Today, Tomorrow, And The Next
My Love For you Grows

In The Morning, When The Sun Shines Brightly Through The Curtains
The Ray Of Light Pierces My Soul Like An Arrow
Filling My Heart With An Insurmountable Happiness And Sorrow

Knowing You Are Not Here By My Side When I Awaken From My Dream
A Dream Of Complete Contentment, Where Tears Of Joy Fall From My Face
Looking Down, Where The Tears Fall I see Diamonds Of The Purest Caret

Leaning Over To Pick Them Up Your Eyes Are Even More Enchanting
In A World Where Love And Happiness Is Like Second Nature
It Is Paradise Seeing Forever In Your Eyes Holding Hand In Hand

How Could I Ever Ask For More, In Your Arms Salvation Is so Near
Laying Alone I See Your Face In The Clouds Bringing My Heart To Sorrow
Knowing We Are too Far Away To Feel Each other's Passionate Touch

I am So Lost Without You, I Want You Here To Carry My Heart Home
My Body Welling Up With Emotion, Trembles At The Thought Of Your Touch
From Different Worlds Yet Our Souls Walk The Same Path Hand In Hand
