POETRY: A DEEP SOUL'S EMBRACE

Before the window closes, while the sun emerges, I will think of you.
After the window closes and night consumes the sky,
I will dream of you.
Before you return to me within the capsule of endless time,
I will wait for you,

As you journey on your quest, I will pray for you.
When you reach your destination I will long for you.
When you face endless fears, I will become strength and
devour hopelessness for you,

When infinite trials attempt to control you,
I will fight constantly and console you.
When we meet in the next world I will know you.
Now that our love has combined,
I belong to you...

growing old is scary, but it's not my biggest fear
growing alone is the idea that i can't bear
it's not that i don't have friends...
no, i have many
but all of them have love flowers to send...
i don't have any

they treat me like a kind of essence
unnoticed absence,
yet desirable presence

why is it so easy for me to see their happiness
while it's so hard for them
to feel my lonliness... my emptiness!

imagine the idea of going home at the end of the night
then you call someone you love wishing him a good night
knowing that with every breath he takes, he takes one for you
knowing that till he falls asleep, he'll be thinking of you
have you felt the pleasure it brings?
now imagine knowing you're in nobody's thought!

for how long will i stay like this?
a lonely sad tone
among the happy melodies!

i always thought that friendship was enough
now all i'm living for is finding my own love
and i know that as long as i have faith
i'll find the true love in some time... in some place

whether i go for it, or it comes for me
we'll be playing our own symphony
when i look into her eyes and see my reflection
she'll be my destination and my only direction

and when i grow old and wrinkles are on my face
when she thinks she's lost her old graces
i'll see her more beautiful than i've ever seen her
and i'll be proud that i'm her king... and she's my queen

What if your day was to come tomorrow?
What if your time was to come now?
What if you went through your life cold hearted?
And never let anyone in?
What if you were on your deathbed, or in your car,
Or wherever the place may be, and you're alone?
No one to share your feelings and fears with.
What if you went through life not caring about others?
Or what if you went through life not letting others care about you?
What if there was someone out there that did care?
What if they never got to tell you because they were scared of
What you'd say or do to them in return?
What if there was someone who really needed to talk
And you were the only person, but you weren't around for them?
And worse, what if something happened to them because
You weren't around?
Could you live with yourself? Could you face each day Knowing
That you could have saved them, but you didn't because of
Differences that you and that person had?
What if it WAS your time and that was the only person
YOU wanted, but that person only went the other way
Or wasn't around for you? What if things weren't the way
That you thought they were? What if I'm that person to be
There for you? To hold your hand or stroke your hair and
Tell you that it's ok and that it'll all be over soon.
When you?re leaving this place and going off to a better one,
What if I'm that person who needs you to hold my hand and
Stroke my hair and tell me that it's ok and that it'll all
Be over soon?
People go through life everyday mad at someone, or hurt by someone
We may be that person one-day and we don't even think about it.
But what if, somehow by some miracle I'm there with you?
Or you?re there with me? Would you die happy or relieved that we
Ended on the best note possible? Or would you regret it?
No matter our differences, I'll be glad that it all ended on the best
Note possible. And hopefully you'd never forget if you live
Longer than I do, that no matter what I loved you.
And I know that no matter what, You loved me too...
If I was to live longer than you.
So What If.......

Your soul floats free, as light as air,
Your laugh like music in the rain,
Your flashing eyes, your flowing hair,
Your simple absence brings me pain,
When we two are apart.

Your charming wit, your playful grin,
The way you look in formal dress,
Those little dimples on your chin,
Your supple skin yhat I caress,
Your strength, your grace, your heart.

The only thing I hunger for,
When I can't sleep at night,
Is but to taste your kiss once more,
So soft, yet firm and light,
Such heavenly delight.

So here I sit, in any case,
Remembering the day,
When I first felt your sweet embrace,
It swept me right away,
Oh, would it were today...

Willow-slender, lithe and lovely,
fair as June-morn's waking day.
Young as dew-drops, old as mountains,
fresh of scent, as new-mown hay.

Lovely creature, God's own molding.
Peerless figure, lost love's dream.
Blithe and carefree, filled with spirit,
captured my heart with sunshine's gleam.

How may one, so young and glorious
smile a smile so pure and rare
that all at once can be victorious
in ways that Eve would hardly dare?

Innocently filled with knowledge,
wise beyond ten thousand years.
A sprightly creature made to thrill me...
Flails and scorns me with her tears.

I see you every night,
You're always in my dreams,
We hold hands and kiss,
What can this possibly mean?

I don't have a clue who you are,
Your face- I've never seen,
I wish we can meet one day,
Somewhere outside my dream.

I can hear your voice,
I can feel you there,
Even though I can't see you,
I will always care.

As long as you love me,
And I love you, too,
Nothing else should matter,
Except for me and you.

Forever I'll search for you,
And hope you'll be looking for me, too,
So I can finally see your face,
And ask... "who are you?"

A deep soul's embrace
I can reach from this place
When I've looked in your eyes
I feel deep inside
See further than life
Past the beating of your heart
Deep into your soul
Into your light they call life

Past any dreams and thoughts
Till the thing I feel inside
Is nothing but pure essence
Of who you are
I feel you so much
Your warm and tender embrace
As we lie here beside
On my chest lies your face

You hear my heart
Beating deep inside
Yet at the same time
It's beating inside you
It beyond explanation
It's beyond words themselves

To touch your soul
To feel your heart
And my love deep inside you
Is my fuel
What keeps me going
What keeps me coming back for more

To touch you forever
That is my dream
The deepest of intimacies
Like no other before

I have touched your soul
And you reached back and touched mine.
Did you know it?
Did you feel it?
It drives me mad deep inside

I crave it like nothing else...
Food and water I do not need
The air itself, I would not breathe
All things seem frivolous
Nothing seems important
Except feeling that touch of your soul again
Those special times
So few and between
So far apart

Because we have to be
So far apart
Drives me mad
To not hold and keep you
Right next to me
Where we belong
I can feel your soul
Even so many miles away

But the pain
Oh the pain
Of not holding you inside me
Fuels a jealousy like none other
A hate of the world
For the responsibilities of life
Conspiring to keep us apart

I would break
I would scream
I would holler
I would die
You're so deep inside
Just a simple twist
And I?ll never breathe again
Don't hurt me
I beg you
Don't let me push you away

The life, the energy
That I feel inside
To touch your soul, so deep inside
And for you to touch mine back
I?m scared to death

I can't live without you
I can't wait to hold you again
I can't stand not to be near you
Yet I deal with life
I have to

To whisk you away
From all this noise
From life as we know it
I would love to do
Pictures of cottages
And hidden mountains
And babbling brooks
Come to my mind

The things of life
I feel we don't need
Even food and water
I could leave behind

For the touch of your soul
For you to touch mine back
For the craving of hearts
For the love that is blind

It fuels my soul
It could be my life
You're all that I need
To keep me alive

Your deep soul's embrace
I can feel from this place
I feel you deep inside
In the beating of my heart
In this light they call my life

Time played tricks with our
sanity...
Candlelight played tricks
with shadows...
in a darken room
Soft music plays tricks with our
souls...
The sweet smell of scented candles
spicy cinnamon, soft vanilla
drift
like unseen
clouds...

Gently, I towel her off
Softly, I kiss her
shoulders and neck

effervescence

She giggles from the champagne
"Your only funny when you're not trying to be"
"I'll love you forever"

Oh
How I hate
the shortness
of
eternities
like these..

Oftentimes, it is conjectured upon by the spoken word
or the written word,
that love needs unrestricted movement.
True love finds its way back, and so why is this?
Because love endures; is that a truth the heart believes?

That love needs a season to flourish, to grow, to be sure,
and what of the other hand? what is allowed the one who waits?
As the clock moves in the accompaniment of time?s music.

Opportunity nudges the empty heart,
night seeks out the lonely, where kind words comforts the lost.
Anothers love forgotten in the arms of a newcomer
no stranger to love, a friend for any season.

And time is gone once it's known
idle days let slip from memory an embrace,
a soft touch has lost that feeling in the quiet of a late afternoon
to be held long into the night is missing in the struggle to sleep.

The morning?s long walk does not remove the ache
from a heart that yearns to sing again
a heart that becomes vulnerable to what is near,
as time fades, other melodies will hear the whispers
of a summer?s evening.

Light, easy laughter, now silent,
still hangs around the edges at the last part of the day,
as time dances to the music?s words,
and loneliness seeks the merry-go-round.
Those who have fallen aside reach for any ring that comes by.


So if love needs to be tested, be wary of time?s passing.
Do not loaf in your wilderness,
in your musing the heart goes unsheltered,
and upon your returning you will find the seasons shuffle swiftly.
The caterpillar changes into a butterfly, and your knock on the door
will go unanswered.

A life is just that and nothing more,
yet when it finds love on its perilous journey it changes.
My life has been through these changes ever since I met you.
Every time I think of you and say your name my love
for you grows stronger. And if I have no other way to express
that love then it comes in these three strong words.
I LOVE YOU

I have two hands to touch you,
As a sign I am there.
I have two arms to hug you,
As a sign I really care.
I have two eyes to watch you,
As a sign I know your there.
I have two legs to walk with you,
As a sign I'm always there by your side.

I feel a tender soul within my reach... her heart is like
a sunrise on a summer beach. My arms can hold her and I always
will because of how great she makes me feel. Togetherness is
all she is because she brings the things that forever live.
Her beauty is all of wonder and power and can't be described
for the life she brings. I want to hold her in my arms right now...
and put my fingers through her hair and look into her eyes...
it brings me to a place that is heaven... I'm lost in her
and not looking for a way out. She is an angel sent to me
and a tender heart has she found... My heart is resting in
the deep of her hand... I want to be hers, I have found
paradise. I don't really honestly know how she feels for me...
But whatever happens it will always be... I'm holding her heart
in my gentle hands and I will take the sunshine from the sky
and place it in her hands... I already hold my soul to
her breast and feel the peace she seeks... I want to fill
her emptiness with my love and make it as beautifull as
a dove... and hold her heart with gentle love so I can share
with her heaven above.
