POETRY: MARINATING IN ECSTASY

sweet words issued from love
springing from joy within
the warm comfort of feeling
of holding and being held
you fill me with eternal patience
and incredible excitement
to treasure and not judge
each of us is human
to keep and never forsake
through the hardest times
to give and not expect-
so precious is this love
how can i describe it?
the wonder you bring
quivering at your touch
from so much pleasure
then i give it all back
to see you smile again
in the end, i know
i will always have you

The risen sun is flooding me,
This smile cannot fade,
So long as you stand by my side;
Pursue what we have made.

I never planned to want you so,
Still, now you're all I need.
You fill me with a nameless rush,
With this we can succeed.

How is it you can do to me
What others never could?
Before, so scared, I dared not speak,
I never thought I should.

You've given me the love of dreams,
Still you're beyond my touch.
Before we meet in crowded rooms
I wake with thoughts of such.

Come to me and never leave,
I can give you so much more,
Believe these words I whisper now;
So weak, I'll fall upon the floor.

Raise me up with strength you give,
I know you will defeat
My lonely fears and twisted thoughts,
Gone when once we meet.

Should the tapestry guarding your heart ever fray or ravel,
Should your doubts or fears ever subside,
Then through the skies upon the wings of eagles shall I travel,
If only for a moment to hold you by my side.

For only together have either of us known
A love so true and tender,
But neither of us will ever again know such completeness
Until our hearts we fully surrender.

So should the hardness of your heart relent,
Should your soul decide to once again be free,
Then upon your encouraging word will I begin my ascent
To renew our love and have you next to me.

My heart cries for thee
Lady of the other realm
How on that day you flee
In silence I'm overwhelmed
The torment it brings
Like a thousand arrows
Piercing the core it stings
Not a song of the sparrows
Can make my heart sing clear
Not a hundred chants of prayers
Can heal the deepest despair
Yet my heart is drowned in tears

As I long for thy existence
The nights wax full of grief
While the days grow in distance
As I wrestle for a brief relief
How can I win you back?
I seek the blessings from above
And follow the great track
Yet I still yearn for thy great love
My body becomes frail and weak
And my mind turns into debris
As day by day in silence I speak
While my heart cries for thee

Unlike lust, it lasts
Unlike lies, it stays
And free it sets
Fate and destiny it determines

Unlike shame, it is never shameful
Unlike stupidity, senseful it is
Unlike pens, it does not run out of ink
Unlike weather, it does not fluctuate
LOVE ITSELF

Unlike me and you, jealousy strange
Neither does it know regrets:
for life is short regretfully.
Unlike a door, always open
LOVE ITSELF

It was like this yesterday, still today
and will be tomorrow
Never rusts, like nails
Needs no relaxers like hair
LOVE ITSELF

I'm alrght until I get close to you,
Then, it is amazing the transformation I go through.
It is like being on an unexplainable High.
A High that will never die.
It is so strong and it alters my mind
That High is truly one of a kind.
First, it creeps so small from my head,
I try to stop it, but it gets stronger instead.
That High moves down my face-
And begins to travel at a more intensive pace.
It speeds to my neck, and lingers-
That High consumes my chest arms, and fingers.
It flows to my stomach
That High goes down and burns at my thigh.
In no time at all- that High has me marinating in ecstasy,
Because you have become That High to me.

what if i said my dreams of who i have
long awaited for are starting to come true.
what if i said that is you in my dreams.
what if i said i am staring to like you.
what if i said i do like you.
what if i said i love you.
what if i asked u to marry me.
will you?
what if i said i want to make all ur dreams come true.
what if i said i can be that someone you can trust.
what if i said!!!!!!!!!!
am i dreaming or is it what i think it is.
have i fallen in love again?

You're my endless love together we'll always be,
It feels so good to know not only I love you but you love me.

What I feel in my heart for you will always be true,
As long as we're together my life will never be blue.

You're my everything, you're my endless love,
You're heart was sent to me from somewhere up above.

I will always cherish what we have together,
The love I feel for you will be here forever.

The love we have together will never leave my heart,
There will always be love between us, our hearts will never part.

Each night I pray I'll never lose you, I pray to the dear Lord above,
I love you with all my heart, You're my endless love.

Without you? I'd be a soul without a purpose.
Without you? I'd be an emotion without a heart.

I'm a face without expression,
A heart with no beat.
Without you by my side,
I'm just a flame without the heat.

Without you? I'd be a dream without an impetus.
Without you? I'd be a thought without a mind.

I'm a picture without color,
A sky with no sun.
I need you here beside me,
Because you're my loving one.

Without you? I'd be a wave without an ocean.
Without you? I'd be a bird without wings.

I'm a song without sound,
A moon with no shine.
I want you here, darling,
To tell me you'll always be mine.

You promise that you'll love me forever;
I trust what you say is true;
Because if I'm to be an emotion of love,
The element I need is you.

Standing in the Dark Shadows,
No one sees my face but you,
I've longed to see the light for so long,
I looked and waited,
but to no avail
For this person to help me see
into the light and not look back into
the shadows...

Our love is like a pretty kite
With a tail full of bows
Dancing merrily in our minds
While love's sweet breeze it blows.

The red bow is our loving hearts
The highest on the string
The blue is my deep blue eyes
Sparkling with the love you bring

The next is brilliant emerald green
Where all growing things live
Then a bright and yellow bow is seen
The light of love you give

The orange is the fire that burns
Deep down within each heart
The purple our passion as it turns
To contentment before we part

The pink is for the blush you cause
With your sweet and loving voice
And the white is for our pure sweet love
That fulfills our every choice

So join me, love, to watch the dance
As our kite flies 'cross the sky
To show the world our sweet romance
That will last for all our lives.

Longing to lie in
the soft warm sand

The ocean before me,
in blue vastness

The chorus of a wind song
in my ears

Soft caresses on my body
from your hands

Fragrant oil, and
gentle touches

Skin glistening in the
heat of that sun

As our eyes meet
and consume each other

In the passion of that
meeting

A first meeting after
being apart

Such longing in the air

In our minds, on fire,
with passion

The oceans, the sand,
the sky

It all merges into our
consciousness

In one symphony of
desire

Look into my eyes.
Tour the darkness
that lingers deep inside.
Look a little further
if you have the strength.
Look at the person inside me.
He's lived but a short length.
Look into my eyes and see
the pain I have felt
see the memories I have made.
Once you get to my soul
take a look around
all you see is black.
-Turn around-
head up to my heart
Once you get there
you'll see where
the real me starts.

Reflections
As we stare out the window
The night outside is dark
The lights shine brite
the moon is behind us
Iluminating the bus
I see your reflection
You look peaceful
You look happy
Your eyes are big and shining
Shining brighter than any star
Your face is smooth
Smoother than any cloth
Your warmth is so perfect
Better than any heater
Your love is powerful
Overpowering any engine
I look into your reflection
As you look into mine
We stare and smile
As we mouth i love you
In our reflections
