POETRY: I, A POET, LONGING FOR YOU

..knees trembling yet not afraid...
...bruised and scared yet unflinching...
I stand before you with an open heart!
Resurrected by your smile, I rise again.
Tired & worn I stand staring at my reflection in your eyes.
Tears not yet dried give birth to a smile...
Scarred but not scared I whisper in your ear...
...I love you...
...and life begins again!

Looking into the future I see
My beloved and I walking along the creek,
Thoughts of summer prancing through my mind,
Looking upon the face of the one dear to me,
her countenance so fair and kind.

Sitting upon a grassy knoll
Watching the clouds toss, turn, and roll.
To her lips, a kiss I lend,
Enjoying each hour, each minute, each second
we spend.


3
The soft comfort of your warm body
 devours me
The deepness in your eyes
 intrigues me

The lines in your smile
 amaze me
The touch of your lips on mine
 seduces me

dreaming of her beside me
but always of something more
than the body I have slept with
a thousand nights before

I entered her dream with ease
wandered the worlds of her mind
trying to capture what she sees
wondering if it is in kind

weightlessly I traveled the night
till distant light drew me near
glimpsing specters before me
catching whom she holds dear

there by the fire I see them
a smile arrives on my face
entering myself in time to kiss her
then disappearing without a trace

awakening the next morning
a note left on pillow sheet
"next time please don't leave me
when by dream again we do meet."

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you


6
she stood in the doorway
a single rose held near her heart
ah, to be just one petal there
skin touching skin
two loves, intertwined, inseparable
and when I approached her
there in the glow of a midday sun
the odor of flower and of her
was overcoming, so I held her close
it was soon after I felt the pain and joy
the thorn that pricked my breast
the petal that soothed my soul
and what had began as pain to the flesh
transcended to the wonderment that was her
I shall never look at another flower
the same again...

Have you ever loved somebody so much that you would do anything
for them to understand how you feel deep inside?

Have you ever loved somebody so much that you're willing to give
everything you have just to have that pearson next to you?

Have you ever loved somebody so much that you're just thinking about
them Day and Night?

Have you ever loved somebody so much that you pray to God for that
person to be with you?

Your beauty is in your love;
I am amazed every time I feel it.
Thank you for allowing one so humble
The pleasure of sharing the greatest love on earth.
My love feeds on your acceptance;
The more you accept it, the stronger it gets.

9
Love is not an object, it cannot be bought or sold;
Love is not physical, nothing you can hold;
Love is love, but only when it's true;
I just want you to know, all my love is for you!

I have a rose,
Silent beauty,
Waiting to be smiled at
By You,
My muse.
I, a poet, longing for you,
Just you, and nothing, but love
Awake!
In our dreams,
Awake!
Walk to me,
Angels will sing in the depths
Of my heart.
For my heart is your knight,
That fights for love,
And beats inside you.
Deny not,
Like a rose, I will wither
Through the bitterness of hell
Forever.
Kiss these lips,
Like a rose, humble
These lips will kiss you back.
