POETRY: LET ME EMBRACE YOU WITH BOTH ARMS

I was surrounded by trouble,
and pain was my only company.
I was the saddest person on earth...
The loneliest person was me.
And through these dark times,
there was but one ray of light.
I had to whisper your name,
and the sun shone once more, so bright.
There were times when I was
all by myself, all alone,
no one to love, no one to love me.
And like magic, my tears dried,
and nothing remained the same.

All this happened
when I whispered your name...

In the quiet of the night...
I can sense all the love in your heart
reaching out to me no matter where I am.
I can almost feel you touch me, even though we are apart,
and feel our hearts beat as one.

In the quiet of the night...
I can feel the warmth of your body next to mine,
your arms wrapped around me.
I can hear you whisper my name softly,
in such a loving way that it touches my soul.

In the quiet of the night...
I can hear your gentle laughter,
and see your smiling eyes gazing down at me.
And as we look deep within each others' eyes,
it is like no one else in the world exists but us.

In the quiet of the night...
As I close my eyes and drift off to sleep,
you are with me in my dreams.
Your love protects me at night,
enveloping me, keeping me safe and warm,
until we can be together again.

There is a secret place, deep within my soul,
I call, "My vault of memories of you."
It keeps me company when I?m by myself;
And conjures up myriad images of our shared past ?
Our walks by the river, up mountains,
The shared scent of the flowers we love,
But mostly - the inherent dearness of you.

I see your smiling face and your eyes
When you bring me a cup of steaming tea each morning in bed ?
"Proper Tea!" you say, "For my beloved"
(What a glorious way to start my day).

Your tenderness is my constant companion? whether awake,
Sleeping, or in my secret vault.

I feel myself falling in love with you and staying there.
How I loved, how I still love your wonderful laugh ?
(I can hear it now.)
Your eyes twinkle and crinkle at the corners

Express to me what you want, and see if I can understand,
For you want to be fulfilled, and this I also demand.
Hope is only held suspended by one single strand,
For the love that I possess in my heart never can be known as bland.
Open up your heart to me, so that I may prove to you my devotions.
Allow me to convey true beliefs, and tender emotions.
Let us ponder fantasies so explicit, exploring, capturing passions,
Intensifying feelings so deep, yearning for shivering reactions.

Express to me what you want, and see if I can understand,
For you want to be fulfilled, and this I also demand.
Hope is only held suspended by one single strand,
For the love that I possess in my heart never can be known as bland.
Sprinkle me with your caring heart and this will not be in vain,
Gratifying the void of your soul with my tongue,
the truth you will gain.
The undesirable spirit of vanity in this situation will be slain,
And the attempt for capitalism on your emotions I will not obtain.
Express to me what you want, and see if I can understand,
For you want to be fulfilled, and this I also demand.
Hope is only held suspended by one single strand.
For the love that I possess in my heart never can be known as bland.

My heart plays a soft melody,
as I'm thinking about you and me.
The times we've shared,
the ways you've cared,
All the chances we've taken,
our life fully dared.
Long kisses under a fullmoon lit sky,
I dream of you and breathe a sigh.
For if this love was somehow to end.
I wouldn't want for life again..
I love you...

If loving you meant singing,
then my voice is full of joy.
If loving you meant leaving,
then pack my bags I shall.

If loving you meant time standing still,
then so be it... for, time isn't real.
If loving you meant dying,
then death shall knock on my door.

If loving you meant loosing everything,
then a poor woman you have met.
If loving you meant loosing you,
I would have to think about that.

But, if loving you meant forgetting you,
well, that is something... I could never do.

My heart misses you

I do not yet know the lines of your face
Or the curve of your smile that is meant for me
Or the timber of your voice
Except on quiet, lonely nights
Lying in the dark waiting on you to become
I can hear it whispering love words to my soul

When I lie in that place between sleep and wake
I feel my body curl into yours as it was meant to be.
Your powerful fingers tracing the curve of my shoulder,
Tenderly caressing my arm, pulling me closer to you.
I am safe there in the circle of your embrace,
Sheltered from the demons that haunt my dreams.
We bring peace to each other in our loving.

How is it possible, this longing for what has not yet been ?
Except that somewhere I know you must feel it too.
I ache to bring you home to me.
To breathe you in, filling my spirit with your essence,
To touch your strength with the softness of my hands,
To taste the sweet pleasures of your mouth,
And be intoxicated with the joy of knowing you are mine.

The winds are changing, bringing with them a chill.
I walk along paths of autumn gold and reds
And your footsteps echo mine.
In all the places that are,
I know we are connected
And I wonder...
Are you searching for me too ?

My Love for you is Deep, My Love for you is strong.
My Love for you will never go wrong.
You are the dove of my soul, the heart of my gold.
A true love, a love to be told.
I can't stop thinking of the way you make me feel
Like the warm sunshine and a cool breeze, so real.
My love is pure like the first winter snow
So you see, I can never let it go.

The care of your thoughts, the warmth of your heart
Just thinking of you, I will cherish the thought.
I can't help the way I feel,
My Love for you, is so deep, so real.
You are the light, unwhich shine upon my face.
On that perfect sunny, shiny day.
Like the wind and the rain, so strong and bold.
My Love for you is Deep, let it be known, let it be told.

Like spring,
This ? calls me forth unto myself
And I am blessed,
With love,
With you.
A word is like a single pixel,
A picture worth a thousand words?
And you, my love,
Are like a movie:
Frame after frame of glorious color?
Variations on a theme
Are coming to me?
Are holding me and blessing me?
And I love you all the more, for
Each symphony driven
To the orchestra like an impassioned bird?
And to love you is to find patience?
So willing to give up my gentle style for you?
I find myself drifting in unfamiliar waters?
But they are warm and clear and calm?
Like you.
So I love you,
Without question,
Without answer,
Without argument?
And?
And when you see this,
Just remember?
I have given you something priceless . . .
I give Love chances
And it takes them,
I risk my heart and soul
To gamble?
Gamble everything away on the
Miraculous chance
That your love will come my way?
Someday . . .
And if it does I?ll be here waiting?
Loving you like always?
And if not I?ll love you always, anyways,
But I?ll find a way to move on.
So my love,
Touch me,
Touch me with strength,
And caress me with tenderness, with hope . . .
You are my dream,
My imperfect dream,
And forever I pray you will
Come true.

I see not only with my eyes...
but also with my total existence.
I hear not only with my ears...
but also with my heart.
I cry not only with my eyes...
but also with my timid soul.
I love you not only with my heart...
but also with all of my might.
When I see you,
I see much farther than my sight.
I talk with my eyes and sing from my heart.
My heart beats not only for life...
but also for your love.
My mind thinks of you with constant amazement
and Promethean rumination.
I do believe that the sun doth shine...
so it can shed light upon your beauty.
For you, my love, the world does turn.
My feet walk this earth not for me...
but rather to lead me to you.
The dream of seeing Heaven is revealed when I
look into your sensual eyes.
I do not know how to breathe without thinking of you...
my exquisite wonder!

Express to me what you want, and see if I can understand,
I want you to be fulfilled. Your wish is my command.
If intimacy is held together by the touch of a lovers hand
Then let me embrace you with both arms, to magnify where I stand.

Open up your heart to me, so that I may prove to you my devotions.
Allow me to convey true beliefs, and tender emotions.
Let us ponder fantasies so explicit, exploring, capturing passions,
Intensifying feelings so deep, yearning for shivering reactions.

Sprinkle me with the caring of your heart
And this will not be in vain.
Gratify the void in my soul, and the truth you will gain.
The undesirable spirit of vanity in this situation must be slain,
The warmth of your essence is something I must obtain.

Express to me what you want, and see if I can understand,
I want you to be fulfilled. Your wish is my command.
If intimacy is held together by the touch of a lovers hand
Then let me embrace you with both arms, to magnify where I stand.
