POETRY: FOR YOU, FOR ALWAYS

They begin out soft and warm
Tender to the touch
All slowly begins to fade except your kiss
It swallows me whole in such a way...
As to drown me in the emotions it stirs
There is no comparison
There is only the reality that time has stopped....
For this one tender kiss
Oh, there have been other kisses
Ones that start the blood to flowing
The heart to racing ever faster
But they are not always there
This kiss is one you can depend on
It says that I am here and am never going to leave you
That is the kiss that makes everything else disappear
And you do nothing except FEEL

kisses of sound wave
trembling the bound of space,
kisses of light waves
bending the shield of time,
kisses of sunrise,
kisses from sunset
not change much,
except a true, a true human heart
dedicated for mankind.

kisses of time
no signs, no dates,
no shadows, no traces,
neither the living nor the dead
in this decaying universe
immune to the impact,
except our pearl identity

except our pearl identity,
ingrown due to good deeds,
gluing with kisses
which spare human griefs.

In your blue eyes
Lies an ocean of love.
An infinite ocean,
Sober, unfathomably deep.

I came from far away
To see the ocean
But I have just realized...
That an ocean of love
Lies in your blue eyes.

Please, don't close your eyes.

Does memory endure in heaven's space?
Does Dante yet recall his lady's grace,
his Beatrice? Does paradise erase
from Pertarch's eyes, his Laura's face?
Or Eloise remember Abelard's embrace?
In heaven, does that earthly love then die
or spirit speak to spirit there on high?

My fingers draw the contour of a face
and trace the memory of a lover there.
Will I be recognized if when and where
we meet in that rarer atmosphere?
Does memory endure in heaven's space?

Every part of me is in love with you
my heart, my mind, my soul,
my spirit, and my body.
The things you do
the things that happen between us
won't tear us apart.
I will always be in love with you
wherever our lives may take us,
whether it is together or not,
you will always be my love.
You taught me how to love
I only want the utmost happiness for you
now and forever,
whether with me or not.
Every part of me will always
be in love with you,
you have a permanent lock to my heart.

The promise of love sustains me.
Not a love for a lonely man,
Nor a kiss mired in sympathy.
But a love of totality.

The crispness of infatuation.
Working the miracle on me.
The wanton longing for raptured bliss.
Sealing my fate with a soulful kiss.

I willfully go with an open Heart,
Into a world that seems so cruel.
I hold out my hand for someone to touch
Exposed...

Might I describe to you in detail
my passions and desires for you?
May I share with you, my love,
your truest beauty through my eyes?
Sweeter than the air I breathe
is your voice in my straining ear.
The comfort of your hand in mine
will ever allay my deepest fears.
To feel you quiver at my touch,
it is the warmth of the summer sun.
You hold me as if to never let go
and we overcome the pain of the world.
Refreshing as the rain on my face
your laughter heals my very soul.
Pray, my love, this dream never ends
and I will not know a day without you.

I look at you
And although you speak no words
Your eyes convey the way you feel about me
And my heart stops beating
It amazes me how much I can see into your heart
And know how much you care without one word being spoken

You look at me and I get the chills
I want to be with you like this always
Lying close with you in the dark
Feeling your warm breath against my cheek
And the touch of your soft hands on my body
Not wanting to let the moment pass, wishing time could stand still

I listen to your heartbeat
And I wonder if it was meant to beat only for me
If I am meant to be with you always
Wondering if we were destined to be together
Hoping that I will never have to let you go
Wanting to live my life with you forever
Sharing all that I can with you
In our world of sweet oblivion

Her dazzling eyes are but night's eternity-
an infinite array of stars in their prime,
arranged in heavenly constellations,
perfectly illuminating the void of nighttime.

Bound only by the limitations of one's life,
one could gaze indefinitely into the night,
in search of a more heavenly body,
that yet remains endlessly out of sight.

Yet, if you are persistent in your search,
and you search the many miles,
you are sure to resolve your longing,
through her innocent smile.

Her smile is but the sun's good-bye
amidst the canvas of dark and light,
radiating beauty across the vacant sky,
like the wings of an angel in first flight.

Her heavenly existence is but autumn's breath,
as it whisks away the crimson leaves of time
from rightful bearers-- now exposed,
'gainst the harshness of a lover's crime!

You're a million miles away
but you're right here with me.
I look deep into the crowd
but you are all that I can see.
It'll take a journey to be with you
but your heart warms me through...

Tonight, I'm with you tonight,
in my mind, you're here in my mind
always, you're with me always,
in my mind, you're here in my mind.

Sound cannot travel between us
but I hear you whisper my name.
I will wait for you forever
until we've won life's little game.
Distance will not defeat us;
time will not destroy us...

Tonight, I'm with you tonight,
in my mind, you're here in my mind
always, you're with me always,
in my mind, you're here in my mind

The moments with you,
the seconds, minutes, hours
and days surrounding, making love to you.
When separated, distilled,
Are full, complete,
and exceed the days,
the years, shared with any other.

Being close to you,
Like hot oil and slow cool wine
being poured over your body,
is what I feel, taste, when close to you.
There is no pleasure, comfort, or passion,
that I can deny you.

My hands and body only render a shadow of the endless,
ever increasing love that I want to express
to you, with you, for you.
Till I am consumed, in your presence,
in your arms.

Peace, such peace.
I feel, from the first seconds of contact,
'till the trepidation, before I leave your presence.
Knowing that I miss you already, even before the loss.
That I want you again, as soon as our we part.
And that this love will never leave
and only die when I die.

Sometimes when you look at me, I wonder
If you see all the love that shines in my
Eyes only for you and I wonder if
You see in my smile the special touch
Of happiness that comes from loving you
When you look into my eyes

I feel you reaching deep within my soul
And I wonder if you see all the beautiful
Light in me that comes from your love.

I wonder if you see my arms reaching
Out to hold you with tenderness, warmth,
Fullness of my heart and the precious
Feelings our love brings, and sometimes
I want to tell you to look within
Your heart and you will see that
Everything I have to give is only
For you, for always.
