POETRY: I MUST DEVOUR HER AS A WHOLE

Love is a small word,
yet reaches far
and touches all...
Especially you and me.

I love you because my hand fits so perfectly with yours.
Because our lips melt together like candy.
Because our bodies wrapped together are as one.
Because at night, when I'm holding you in my arms,
our world is so, right.

I love you for your heart and its truthfulness, its love that is
so pure, even when our life at times is unsure...
I love you for sharing your dreams and for knowing my own.
And for even when your tired, for listening, to some silly poem.

I love you for looking past the moon and seeing the stars.
But most of all "I Love You" For this love of ours...

Eyes of a Princess
A great work of art,
Pierce my defenses
and melt my cold heart;
Beckons with smiles
treasured more than gold,
Myst'rious wiles
of futures untold.

A union of souls
the greatest of smarts,
Not playing roles
but merging our hearts;
Learning how to give
as well as receive,
Learning how to live
and not to deceive.

Gallantry of Knight
I give thee to you,
O' Lady of light.
A dream, for us two,
Of horizons far
beyond ken of men.
As bright as the star
over Bethlehem.

My love for you is like a circle,
never ending.
Think of me always,
wherever you are
I'll be with you.
When the wind blows
through your fingers and hair,
it's me touching you,
and when you taste the fresh water
and feel a sense of relief,
it's me kissing you.
When you go out into the day
looking for adventure,
I'll be right by your side.
When you're lonely and feel insecure,
I'm only a phone call away.
I'll be with you always in spirit.
No matter where you are,
I'll be with you.

Whispering winds howl through the twisted banyon trees,
ogling a sound of harmony.
As hypnotic as the wind, the waves caress the shore
rolling in like a mini thunder storm.
The peaceful sky sparkles with shimmering glitters
and echoing sounds of seabirds perform their ritual love calls.
As he glances down the white sandy shore,
an image of pure light emerges.
Like the wind she moves with grace,
his heart begins to pulse and pound off rhythm.
He can no longer hold his posture and focus his thoughts.
Conflict within his soul begins to erupt,
his mind begins to race searching for words
and the courage that would enable him to move
towards this angel from heaven.
Beautiful, brown eyes focus towards him
like a blow from a hammer, he is leveled by her beauty.
Gasping for words from deep in his soul
he murmurs HELLO!
A smile forms from her lips that stretch across her face
and with the voice of a harp, she replies HELLO!
The wall he built around his heart collapses,
never was this to happen, for he was doomed to never love again.

Every detail about her is intoxicating
I cannot savor just one piece
I must devour her as a whole

The radiance of her smile
The strength of her intelligence
The riveting power of her touch
I become weak in her presence

Her silent strength deafens me
Her emotional weakness cripples
For every moment of physical touch
Sends me into an inner frenzy

She is what I have sought
My entire self-indulgent life
She absorbs me like the rain
That becomes life in the dry heat

Do you have a clue as to how much I love You? I think not, because you would
not be able to sleep at night if we weren't together. You would not have to
walk on anything but clouds, in any kind of weather.

Be that as it may, you can go about your day, while I am dreaming of your
sweet face,
that is my only reason for existence, that one day we will have our own
place.

While you are at work, while you are at play, while you wash your clothes on
any given day.
You must not worry, you must not fret, for you are my true love, and you are
heaven sent...

That was for my sweet, and if you only
knew, that you are everything to me and that everything is you!!

You are the sunshine that shines brightly in my skies.
When my sun goes down, it makes me want to cry. . .
Your sunset is an incredible sight for any eye to behold.
My soul-piercing love for you will never grow old
Because in my heart its you I want to hold.

Every time you made love to me
The Heavens would sing of love,
and the whole world could hear;
everyone who ever loved would look above.

Lips touching mine, taste sweet,
looking deep into your eyes,
A feeling I have never known,
lifted me up so high.

A woman, a friend, a lover,
gives me a place where I belong
sharing your world with me...
gifting me with your hearts song.

Even now, when you're holding me
you take away the thought of "maybe",
as your mouth next to my ear,
whispers, "you are my only love".

Settling into this special space,
you've created for us...
I'm beyond happy here,
with your love, I give you my trust.
Always and Forever.

Once upon a time, in the land of my dream,
There was a young Knight who searched for his Queen,
He followed his quest and he searched all lands through.
He searched for his love, he knew would be true.

She has eyes like diamonds, yet Blue and so deep,
The window of her soul, shows a beauty so sweet
She has hair like and Angel, Autumn colored and long,
She brings to my heart, loves simple song.

He sought out a wizard, to conjure a spell,
To find this fair princess, that in his heart dwells.
He begged this magician, by all that is right,
Find me my love, my souls true delight.

She has beauty unequaled, by all in all time,
Her soul is so perfect, it must be with mine,
The wizard did tell him, that this lady he loved,
Was not mere a princess, but an angel from above.

He said all the magic I have in my power
Cannot make this perfection, in any number of hours
He said you should ask for the heavens to send,
One of God?s perfect creatures, for your quest to end.

So he prayed long and hard, for long years,
He knelt and he begged, and cried many tears.
And finally God looked, at a love that was true,
And released from his heaven, a creature like you.

I am that Knight, who sought long and true,
I searched an eternity, just to find you.
You are my Princess, whom I dearly love,
Sent down to me from the heavens above.

I will hold and protect you from life?s many troubles
I will shield your soul, and give love that doubles,
Each day of my life, that I spend with you,
Is likened to heaven, with an Angel it?s true.

To you I will give, all the love that I have,
I will Cherish, and honour, as long as live.
And then someday, when death doth make us part,
I will wait in your heaven, for you have my heart.

In heaven, the story shall go on forever
Of a love that is perfect and never will waiver.
For you are my Angel, sent down from above,
To have and to hold, and forever to love.

i look up because i hope to see
your sweet smile smiling down on me
o, how i feel the sweeted cruelty
of a soft and gentle memory -

to remember you and your sweet embrace
when first we did share of this place
to think of how your kiss did taste
in that moment i acquired grace

or the first time i did touch your hand
when in that place we did stand
serenaded only by heaven's band
in a moment we had not planned

the first time my fingers did stroke your skin
my nervousness betrayed by thin
veneers of being masculine
my body trembled from within

remember the excitement in the air
when first i did see you there
the first exchange that we did share
did whisper of your beauty fair

as the wind is prone to do
when it starts each day anew
blows tender through your front yard tree
so tender is your skin to me

just the same, so tenderly,
do i hold each memory
of the times i met anew
another thing to love in you
12
The love we share,
is like trees to air.
Without one-another,
there would be no other.

Without you,
I could not exist.
I'll love you forever,
that's what I insist
13
within your eyes I bathed my soul
and wrapped myself in thought
while saying none, parted lips relayed
a moist regret for ties.
