POETRY: I WISH FOR YOU

I stood in the moonlight saturated with your love
A cool night breeze on my face
The magic of your warm touch at hand
You were the only one I ever sought
The only one in an ocean of choices
So many faces, so many names

Like running through broad green pastures on a bright sunny day, I chased after you with a surreal joy
The smell of flowers thick in the air

Your love sweeps over me as did those warm summers breezes when we first met
Our hearts once mingled as one when we were together
I can't stop thinking of you at the moment
My heart hanging precipitously in the balance of hope

Will you love me again as you once did?
Or will I see the moonlight again in silence?
The hurt of silence knows no bounds
Please reward me again with the sound of your voice

You are in my dreams,
whether it be day or night.

You are in my dreams
and I love your insight.

You are in my dreams,
you shine like a light.

You are in my dreams,
so clear and bright.

You are in my dreams
and now I know everything will be alright.

Where I belong

I know there are times, too many to count
when you're all alone, with no-one around
and you find yourself in moments of grief
with no-one to turn to, to find some relief
and now more than ever, you need a strong man
to keep you from sinking, to take you by hand
to help you get over the hurdles you face
to wipe away tears as they run down your face
to hold you so close and rock you to sleep
to make you feel safe, and just flat out keep
on saying 'hang in there, the rides almost through'
'Tomorrow is gonna be better for you'
I wish it were me, wish I was your rock
you'd never be lonely, the crying would stop
I'd hold you forever, our love would be strong
I'd break your heart never, you're where I belong.

If you were mine
You'd wake to my sunshine
And if you were moody
I'd melt it away
With my river of laughter
And my smile for your day.
Cause you know that it's true
That I never smiled brighter
Than when I was with you.
And nothing would matter
But the strength of our love.
I would give our kids mirth
They'd be blessed from above
I'd show them what living is all about
I'd fill there days with fun
They'd never have a doubt
And everynight, I would bring you bliss
And if you were angry,
I'd change that with a kiss.
And no one would mind
Cause you know that it's true
Everyone would love
The way that I treat you.
And no matter how poor we are
No matter how much the outside world
Wants to leave a scar,
We'd be impervious to their hits and their throws
We'd laugh at their pettiness.
We'd joke at their woes.
I'd dedicate my heart and my soul to you.
You'd never be lonely,
you'd never be blue.
I'd serve you, I'd heal you
With my loving touch
You'd never get tired of it
You'd love me so much.
And you'd never have to worry
About washing away my saddness
Or wiping my tears dry
Cause if you were truly mine,
I'd have no reason to cry.

I thought I heard your whisper in the breeze
But it’s just the gentle wind blowing in the trees

I thought I felt your warmth nearby
But it’s just the sunlight beaming down from the sky

I felt your tears of joy and tears of pain
Wait a minute that’s just the rain

I see your reflection in the windows when I walk down the street
But it’s just my lonely eyes deceiving me

I smelled your perfume and I couldn’t focus
Until I realized it was just a bed of roses

And I tasted your soft kiss
Never mind, it was only the honey on my lips

I heard your heart beat
No, it was just a love song and its beautiful melody

I feel like someone is watching me twenty four seven
And I think it's you every now and then.

Sometimes I think it's just me going crazy
Or just my mind playing tricks on me

I know I still feel your touch
When I'm missing you so much

And I still hear your voice
Over all this loud city noise

But the thing that gets me through
Is knowing I’ll be seeing you soon

And fall in love all over again
When I see you in heaven

You are my moon in the sky,
and I am the pond below.
Since sunset you come,
by sunrise you temporarily depart.
You linger across the heavens,
but your face mirrors in my heart.
You disappear into the dense clouds,
but always come out into my bosom.
When you wax, my heart is bright;
when you wane, then I’m depressed.
Your heart shines over my flows,
so my feeling feeds a whole pond moss.
I wish our love is forever,
and night-by-night we abide together.

You are the amber that burns inside my
soul. I long for the warmth you bequeath
me when your lips touch mine. The scent
of your being hypnotizes my spirit and
erases all doubt. Your charisma is like
a magnet beckoning me to follow. When you
hold me in your arms I feel secure and
desired. My skin sizzles with your touch
and my heart starts to ignite with passion.
Your love satisfies my appetite and
places me into deep slumber. Alas I
have found my genuine soul mate.
Tears of joy emerge from my eyes
when you say, "I love you".
I experience great merriment and am richly
blessed and thank God for dropping
your ambers into my heart of fire.

The ceaseless symphony of a tranquil sea
echoes through the canyons of my being
filling my emptiness with
thoughts of you.
As the pounding waves caress the shore
so too does my heart pound
with thoughts of you
endlessly etched in my essence.
A lonely pelican glides on currents
of warm wafting breezes.
And I gaze in wonder at its freedom
And as it hovers above the shore
So too does my heart hover
in awe of your essence.
The cry of the gulls
in their solitary nonchalance
Reminds me of the child, the baby
crying on the inside
To be held and nurtured
in a loving embrace.
The sea, in its endless surfsong
sings words of love
And I,
I sit by the shore
Enveloped
in the tide of your love.

Your presence has enabled me
to savor the luscious creme brulée
that is life.

Or something like that.
Oh, alright, that was a light, loose translation.
More literally, then :

Your presence
has burned away
the wall of thoughts
that separated me from life.

As I envision you in my dreams
I find myself intoxicated
by your beauty.

As I gaze into your eyes,
I find myself entranced.
My mind becomes bewildered
and my heart begins to dance.

Your face, as soft as silk,
with my hands I long to touch
And the smile that makes me feel for you.
I want to hold you so very much.

I need to taste the sweetness of your lips
every moment of my being.
When I imagine your hands upon my chest
my heart starts rapidly beating.

My heart, once cast in iron,
longed so for love everlasting.
In the long and troublesome
search for love and companionship
I often found myself gasping.

Through the day you came into my life
and the night I felt your touch
my heart did turn to flesh and blood.
I love you so very much.

for the sake of what was i retraced our love
never could i replace you, so i finally decide to face you. for the sake of what was i showed you exactly who i was... what once was.
for the sake of recapturing my happiness with you , all i found was the new you. for the sake of filling my loneliness for you i thought of of how good you could hold me to. for the sake of making love i really thought you was my one true love.for the mistakes of trying to remake a pastime identity, all is left is my emptiness

With this ring, I thee wed,
are words once spoken, truly said.
By a man who lived long ago,
and for a woman that he loved so.

The woman loved him true,
till death they did part.
Their love was so strong and true
straight from the heart.

Grandma wore this simple golden band,
to symbolize a love that did withstand
many trials and tribulations through her life,
and the happiness and joy of being Grandpas wife.

Now this ring, I give to you, to symbolize a love strong
and true.
A love that will withstand the tests of time
and that love... is mine.
