POETRY: IMAGE OF YOU AND ME

A few more days,
over and over,
I repeat in my head.
Can I live without you?
Scared and so unsure...
Can a man survive without
air and water?
I don't know,
guess we'll both find out in the end.

You are the storehouse,
of all my dreams, fears, and uncertainties.
When I'm with you,
feeling so bare and naked,
knowing I have nothing to hide.

But please understand,
all my millions of feelings for you,
still don't fully understand.
Still realizing I've been so blessed,
to receive your enchanted love
and give my own love
That will purify and comfort us both until death.

Every night I look up towards the sky,
close my eyes and softly sigh.
The familiar cold air and darkness surrounding,
building up my emotions inside.
Sending a silent wish,
floating high to our star,
to bring us together,
though we are so very far apart.

Hesitant, but still open my eyes.
Look slowly over to each of my sides.
Thinking maybe a miracle could take place,
just for one second... one brief second.
I could see your beautiful face.

Yes I know,
that miracles are rare.
But baby what we share,
no miracle in the world could ever prepare.

And in the end,
it will all fall into place.
You and me, together...
finally... at last... forever.

As my pen fondles this paper,
I write of someone...
like no other being.

The reflection of your face off a pool of tears,
shed from the heavens above...
it is the picture a blind man sees
when he envisions an Angel.

A lost breath never gained back
when my pen makes love to this paper,
depicting the "perfect one",
the "wish",
the "dream",
but is a reality.

Your eyes are like stars
never seen before out of this realm,
sparkling under the rays of sun.

Fire-flies envy the radiance of your pearls.
Lips that Da Vinci could not even paint,
the Mona Lisa was lacking.
Skin softer than the skin you had at birth.
I close my eyes,
and touch my lips...
Inside my soul, memories of a kiss control my heart,
not yielding to fear.

If caterpillars could only spin silk
as beautiful as the strands of your hair,
then their guilt would not cause them to transform.
Only Goddesses have the hair you possess,
Wait! Maybe not...
like no other being.
Your body is imprinted in my mind.

Pause,
it's not over.

Your presence is a gift to one's sight,
a gift touched by no other.

The Eulogy is not over
because inside...
inside of this perfect being,
you will find knowledge...
not knowledge of this earth,
but knowledge of the heart.

A heart as pure as a new seed,
a gift given from God.
Shakespeare never wrote of one such as you,
nor did Nastrodamous predict your coming.
Nightengales flee in shame when you enter the garden,
because their voices cannot compare.
God cheated them.
You are the result of God's paint brush,
perfected through time...
Like a fine wine.

I cast my pen into captivity,
like a genie is caputured inside of a flask,
never released,
because of endless stories.

When you are near me,
my world is Utopia.
Joy emerges from your touch,
divine trembles.
Unheard words spoken to myself,
meant to be heard.
I cherish the eyes given me to look at you!
My eyes hear!
My ears see!
Self planted in stone from your touch.
Your beauty paralyzes.
Unknown altruism you gave.

Can I truly write of your beauty?
Hell, no! Only infer.
Never truly correct.
Placing myself in thought to contemplate this question;
an unending journey is my conclusion.

Pen stop.

It will not,
beauty not fully expressed.
A new word to express this surpassed beauty:

It works,
because a surpassed beauty can only be living,
breathing,
feeling,
and LOVING.
Not on paper,
She is reality,
a gift from God...
like no other being.

Thank you God for letting me know there are Angels,
Amen.

The sunshine in your smile
brings me happiness
but the warmth of your heart
touches my soul

There is a place on earth for us,
or is it really on earth?
A warm and cozy home
where nurturing and nourishment are an everyday affair.

An amorphous ambiguent space
constantly shifting in locale
adjusting to our presence, a place where love is born
and dreams come true.

There is a space for us,
among the willow groves beyond the frog filled creek,
a space of we, of love and joyful understanding
Where sunlight filters through love's silken, threaded bower
and lights the dreams of the travelers.

The love space of the intertwined,
braided as a Mobius strip's neverending trip,
pillows the Eros-touched dreamers in clouds of passion
as they travel in their ever-changing universe.

The beauty of She endears the space to the Universe
making it as one with time,
the love space endless timeless as her reality
And She creates beauty, instilling it upon her surroundings
As She inhabits the space.

So the two do love and in their love is born
the fragments of future,
the seeds of other lovespaces, places
unalive as yet but awaiting
the dreams and hopes of the Others
Those whose longings and passion
inspire them to never abandon their quest
For them the love space does exist and grow
awaiting their entrance
as they exit from an imperfect world of loneliness.

Our love space is a place
where dreams and hopes have come to life
And where we can grow and become
a love entity unto each other
Safe from the whining winds of wistful anguish
blowing from the icy soul of solitude.

And now I lay myself to rest
beneath the soft sky in nature's bed.
As the music from all the world runs through my head,
How I love you my dear.. Oh, how I love you!

My eyes overflow from all the bliss you have shown,
The strength I have received from your gentle words..
And the night is at ease as I grasp your hand
whispering this simple phrase
How I love you my dear.. Oh, how I love you!

Your figure has escaped my mind,
And my palm lies limp by my side..
But I can hear your anodyne voice as you urge me
Please.. do not cry.

And my heart aches,
as I am swept to my feet..
Taken from my becalming world with you,
And slowly, I awake
Look around and mutter, "How I love you my dear..
Oh, how I love you!"

I slowly drift off, thinking of nothing but you
your kiss, your touch, your lips, your everything.
You are my love, my life, my soul, you make me complete.
And I thank you for being you.

When I close my eye...
I reach my Dreams and Desires...
Pictures can't show what I see...

Words can't Describe what I feel...
I can lower my expectations...
But not my Dreams and Desires...

Close your eyes, see what I see...
Open your Heart, feel what I feel...

To lower my Dreams and Desires...
You would see...
You would feel...
It's not me...

Close your eyes...
Feel my dreams and Desires.

I don't know what I am goin' to write
in this letter you're about to read.
I'll just close my eyes,
free my mind and breathe.

I want to take you to a Place beyond ecstasy,
Where it's just you and me.
No words can Describe it,
just the feelin' Between us,

even though the Months seem Merely a week.
I feel you know my story each time we speak.
I think of what we could have if you were here with me,
the love we would make, the time we would forsake,

our lips not wanting to let go,
Our Wildest passions taking control,
deeper and deeper as we fall into each other's soul.
Your Body and soul is what I long to hold.

I need you here with me
so your Soul can be heard felt and seen,
Seen Through the eyes of one,the one that can be a Love,
to always be your true Love ~~~~ ~

A look into your eyes is pure ecstasy.
It delivers my subconscious to that blissful paradise
Found within my heart.

A look into your eyes
Is a look into the darkness of the night;
Unknown and unexpecting.

Yet, a look into your dark pools of infinity
Bestow upon me a sweet sense of tranquility and passion.
Feelings of desire overcome my own self-existence.

A look into your eyes engulfs me
In a fantasy where you and I are ceaselessly
In love
And quarantined from all the evil
And malicious ways of humanity.

All resistance disintegrates
As we immerse ourselves into each other's actuality.
I drift away in a sea of twilight
As you slowly and voluptuously seduce me
Through a maze of sensorial entanglement
That leaves me gasping (for an opportunity
To re-meditate the situation)

But then,
I look deeply into your eyes
And I know the love I feel for you
Isn't going to disappear.

It is destined to go on and fulfill my every wish.
And I do believe
With all of my heart,
Loving you is a resolution that I can savor.

So when I look into your eyes,
I remind myself how much I am truly
In love with you.

The sun rises and morning comes,
another day begins without you.
I wake up longing to feel the warmth of your touch,
but my lonliness has only grown anew.

As time goes by and the hours start to creep,
there's no way to settle a love so deep.
Evening comes, but still no change,
I can't hold you in my arms, I wish for something to be arranged.

I hope, I pray, I search for a sign
I will always await that one day when you would be mine.
The sun begins to fall and the night slips in,
living without you is such an unbearable thought
that I don't know where to begin.

The days go on and starts, just the same,
I sleep by myself at night calling out your name.
Each day is like this, I don't know what to do,
until I can be with you forever I'll spend an "eternity without you."

You remind me of a beautiful rose,
Freshly misted, flourishing with life.
Its shape and elegance
Standing out beyond all others.
My vision mesmorized by your beauty,
For which I have never seen
I thought only lived in my thoughts,
Until you finally made it reality.
My life's garden always was dark and empty,
Now as I speak it's now empowered with lilies,
lavenders, roses and daisies, too.
You are giving it its beauty and strength,
The rising sun throwing its warmth,
And you alone giving it great love.
The fresh rains soothing the land,
Just like your skin against my hand,
Calming all life's worries with one single touch.
Your voice embracing my heart,
For which I am starved by such a wonderful sound.
Like the rose hearing the wind, rustling the trees,
Crickets harmonizing beautiful melodies.
You have immaculate tender hair,
My hands never want to touch anything else
That is as soft as your hair.
Every strand of your hair, so lifelike
A rose petal so soft and gentle,
Just starving for love.
You are my one and only perfect rose.
I shall never leave you standing in the wind's dust.
I shall never take my eyes off you and leave you to wilt.
Let me be your warmth, your light,
Just as you are to my wonderful garden.
For everyday I think of you,
You are my one and only perfect beautiful rose.

feels so cool upon my feet
as I walk slowly barefoot
to the water's edge

There I gaze upon the surface
shimmering softly in the night
faint images appearing
in the rippling water there

Images of you and me
as we were together happily
walking in the park
with laughter in our hearts

Gazing deeply into
one another's eyes
our souls speaking
in the language known as love

Whenever I am lonely
and you seem so far away
I close my eyes and find myself
once more at the water's edge

And there reflected
on the surface once again
is all the love we share
and the promise it holds

For distance cannot dim
the bond we two share
Our hearts are bound together
forever sharing love
