POETRY: I WOKE UP LONGING TO HOLD YOU

You are my heart and soul
You are my passion and desire
I am so in love with you.
It consumes me like fire.

To feel your touch or your warm embrace,
To lay soft kisses upon your face,
To touch your soul as you have mine,
To caress your skin would be devine.

My heart is full to say the least.
With you in my life I have found my peace,
A piece of heaven. I think I will ask
For God to protect you as these days pass.

For my life without you would be a waste,
To miss the moment when we are face to face.
For then I will tell you that you are my love.
No one will I ever have above.

You have stolen my heart it is for no other.
If you were to leave me I would surely suffer.
You have made me whole with the love you have given.
And this heart of mine you will forever live in.

I'm falling to through the atmosphere,
Through the clouds waiting for your call,
but in no direction do I know in which to fall,
All I hear, is what does not travel through sound,
But I feel no need to feel the vibrations of your voice
For the depth of your every word carrries me now through the clouds,
Where the romance in your mind keeps me a float

Circling the earth searching for more,
Who could possibly have the Dialect, the Passion that you hold true?
But nowhere is there a woman who has touched me, no one,
But now you. How?

Fallin' am I
Through the sky, as I am wisked into the wind
Light as a feather,
the way I feel now just deep within,
Emotions overbearing the physical touch,
Something to cherish,
Something that makes my body ache within,
as I yearn for your next word, I cringe
The power of your mind compels me...the Passion of your heart
only directs me to a never ending destination...

But-
I'm falling, not knowing Who, Why or How

I've fallen to the ground and I feel your romantic spirit running
through my body,
A feeling that had never begun to cease'

I've fallen to the depths,
Only to the depths of my soul, wondering how I've fallen into
something that is almost too good to know-

I've fallen to you,
Falling of you, Anyway or Explanation will do,
Just know that my romantic spirit has fallen...so
Don't let me fall astray from you!

The icy cold water - still fighting to hold onto its
last little bit of substance
smashes onto the shore.
To all who understand its language, it seems to say
very loud and clear
That it once had a life of its own;
it had form
it had shape
it had purpose.
I remind this defiant wraith before me
that once again
in a new form
it holds life anew.
A very light, sound captures my attention,
and I look across
the moving water
and gaze upon a lone bird,
a loon...
lazily drifting in the current.
The sun places kisses of infinite softness
upon my face.
And gentle breezes blow
their sweet kisses to me.
All this - I have seen before...
It is emblazoned upon my mind
in my heart
a part of my soul
forever.
This is peace...this is contentment
this is rapture
this is nature's rhapsody
in its quintessence.
As I gaze across this life force
stretched out before me,
I am in awe of what I have been
allowed knowledge of.
This simplistic beauty, so infinite,
so complete
in its magnificence,
has given me freely,
and unconditional
JOY!
It does not matter for what length of time,
seconds turn into eternity!!!

Two aquatic eyes
and admiration for me
make my smile
tickle with the glee
of happiness

Staring at your
perpetual elegance
would make mountians blissful
with the value of enchantment
that you carry for me
makes my heart exstatic

The lovely thoughts of
devotion run through my veins
as I slowly anticipate
getting one more kiss in
before you leave
and the day becomes
an end.

Do you believe in destiny?
Like the moon, the stars,
or even the partner with whom you'd like to be?

Do you believe it to be found in only a woman or a man?
Not quite knowing what it is you're trying to understand?

How is it that one should look at destiny?
When the whole world seems to think it's about you and me?

How funny we believe that it's only a certain kind of love,
when really, it could be everything aside from what's above.

For it could be in a child you treasure ever so much,
or in the people's lives you have deeply touched.

It's a journey we set for ourselves to find all that we can...
Only to fall in love with what we've come to understand.

It's about learning how to love that we'll find our inner soul,
As this is our destiny, our lifetime goal.

Till death do us part
that is how long I shall be devoted to thee
till the last stare shines
till the last bird chirps
till the last baby cries

I shall love thee
I shall love thee more than life
Until my last breath is taken
Until my last note is sung...
I shall love thee

to have you so close
i can feel your soul
a welcome tempest
in my sleeping heart
a warm awakening
and...
i feel alive



7

If I wake in the night
I want to feel you there.
Your lips pressed to my back,
Your breath upon my skin in slumbered rhythm.
The security of the delight of your eyelashes
Tells me without a doubt that you love me.
If I wake in the night
Pull me tighter to your heart
So that I can feel its pulsating
Pounding only for me,
And mine for you, love.
And mine for you.

As I look into your sleeping face, I see a woman who
holds all my love within my heart.

To kiss her silent lips is as if to know that the
passion her holds within him belongs to me.

Yet, when she awakens, and to see her gentle eyes
hold onto my intense gaze,

I know then that the love I feel so strongly is also
the love she has for me.
And just to know that she feels the fiery passion, the
lustful desire to embrace and enjoy the love that we
hold for each other makes my body yearn for just that.

To look into her eyes and find that love that I have
been searching for makes my heart beat fast and strong,
in sync with his own heart;

Two hearts that complement each other's rhythm as if
those two heart had been meant to share the same melody;
the beautiful song of everlasting love for one another.

Even though these two hearts have been broken in past times,
the love that joins and holds them together has mended
their wounds and healed their heartaches.
That and the promise of the love to come, mends these hearts.

Together they have bonded, and together they beat,
Acknowledging the fact that there will be undying love
for their futures with each other.

I woke up longing to hold you
And wishing you were here with me
Oh, Darling, I'm wondering when
In your loving arms I will be.

Do I take a chance again on love
And hope for a love that's true?
Will you hold my heart close to yours
If I were to give it up to you?

How would it feel to be in your arms
And have you making love to me
It's not fair that we're apart
And only dreaming of what could be.

There is so much love in this heart of mine
Love I'm wanting to share
Are you the one I've been waiting for?
My love, are you really there?

For now, I'll continue my dreaming
That one day we'll together be
I know you're out there somewhere
Waiting to fall in love with me.

As I am saying good night, at the end of the day,
And you are not here but many miles away,
My heart is so empty and so lonely inside,
As I wipe away a tear I am trying to hide.

I close my eyes and try to go to sleep,
But with the sadness inside I begin to weep.
Suddenly I remember what you once said to me,
Just meet me in the stars, waiting for you I will be.



11

When distance tends to keep us apart,
Remember, I still hold you near in my heart.
When the night together, can't be ours,
Just close your eyes and meet me in the stars.

Remembering those words, I begin to smile,
And gently close my eyes, lessening the miles.
I can see the stars, oh how beautifully arranged,
But you are not there, no hug to exchange.

I sit alone waiting with hope in my heart,
No longer wanting to be kept apart.
Suddenly in the distance a shadow appears,
A tear rolls down my face and the image is clear.

There is no question it is you who I see,
Waiting in the stars, just like you promised to me.
You hold out your hand as you become near,
And put it in mine saying, "I miss you, my dear."

Suddenly there's gentle music filled with romance,
You gently pull me close, we begin to dance.
Just meet me in the stars, that is where I will be.
A special place in the stars just for you and for me.

Why doth it take so large a courage to muster
and speak of thine words that one shall not say.
To say one's true feelings to another,
though wish it unspoken the very next day.

Is this what they call the blindness of passion?
Shall it bring forth the good, yet may fall to the worse.
I cannot help thinking of fate's true reaction.
Oh why doth the heavens, befall me this curse

But as dawn breaks, on arrival of spring's morning,
I shall dare to speak of what was meant to be said.
I will let loose of thy truth, on knees and adorning.
My heart has thus showed me, and to you it has led.

As the sycamore reeds sway at the morning breeze...
and finally spoken, my heart be at ease.

What is it
that warms the heart
gives determination
when all else seems lost

Dreams are so fragile
the dimension of love
a risk

yet
here in the silence
of the night

alone
I think of defining Love
a word

a promise
a hope
a joy

a sorrow
when apart
and longing

yet all these words
touch not the depth
but only the surface

perhaps defining love
I should look to my soul
and in that

I should find
that such if it were to be
exquisitely defined

could only be defined
as
You................
