POETRY: SHE WALKS IN MY DREAMS

Here in the middle, as you move,
your form excites me.
I am your love; I am my peace, and at peace.
My face here near your breast, this body feels
your heart and hears its tune,
calming me all at once and again,
soothing this brow, once furrowed
with deep grooved lines.

This day was filled with indifference and frustration,
a constant annoyance in our world.
However, here with you, lying here at this,
your abdomen, your shore, this beautiful place,
flat and deep as the ocean once more, once again,
not a ripple or a sense of danger, not here,
not ever.

Here in this middle, as I move,
floating, astral in form,
rocking in this your most beautiful ocean,
here where the sky is so bright, so clear,
no perception of where I am any longer,
the sun is nowhere to be seen,
no clouds and no earth,
not an island or mountain top to be seen.

You are the core, my wonder of this love,
this longing, this my island is here,
every day at this point near your breast,
and once again this our world, the one we create
and share, so deep with all the passion, so radiant,
fundamental as nature herself.

So deep is this new love, once more a new love,
a discovery of what this all is, I know you,
once more I find you and you me.
In this ocean of faces, we are together once more,
I find that your depths could crush me,
but I do not fear your love.
I await that moment when all the love
you provide will press at me, at all the angles of my compass.
I will succumb to you as a whole, and here once again,
this is the middle of all we need and have ever
desired and craved.

This taste of your lips, so tender and soft,
There is no illusion here, they consume the air I breath,
and floating here breathless like a meteorite, a shooting star,
across the night sky, filling all that is,
struggling to survive this, I find I need you, your calm wonder,
the noises you make, your sighs, as I close my eyes.
We replicate the waves as they break on the shores of this love,
breaking over me, over us, full of this rhythm, gently kissing the sands,
white tipped forever constant.

I know your shore where you crash against the rocks and the cliffs,
I have felt the anger of you there, your waves are the sighs of your breath,
exactly as that sound, the crashing is you against me,
and in the middle I have seen the storms,
where the water is a dark blue almost black.
No sky to be seen here, cold winds,
raindrops the size of a man's fist.

Ocean and sky meet, saline, salt water meets
natures own filter water, evaporated by the sun,
beautiful and sweet, and you and I once more
are here, in this place where you have kept me,
in the eye of the storm,
here in the marrow of love,
this the centre of my buoyancy,
this small circle of turquoise, the rock of our birthstone.

Tiny lines and colours of our rock,
assure us that we are as strong and unbreakable as it,
that these small fragments of my love,
where your warm breath comforts me here, near you,
in this place where we lie naked next to one another,
is the only place we will ever need.

Love was the reminder of all I have failed to obtain.
Only a memory left to haunt the halls of my heart.
Can one show me love?
It has been so long, can one go within my heart.

Love is always near... so near,
I breathe it in and pretend it is there.
I think it is time, I know all about love.
Oh, god, I see it has to happen,
don?t tell me love can?t be mine.

I know so little; though it is all that I live for.
But soon, everything that is love,
all the madness, will go for;
I finally said there is no love for me!!
Now I am alone.
The darkness engulfs me,

All that is lit is the unbeaten paths of my life.
I see the world full of love
that I will never know... all alone.
The walls of my heart being torn apart,
can my heart have any future.

The rain starts to fall,
and the moon's light breaks through the mist
The beams shine on a single flower,
reaching towards the light;
Out of the rain.

As I gaze into the heart of the flower,
There were no words to describe my envy of its courage.
In my life I had never backed down, I always reached out.
Soon, I had a heart mended by love, sweet love.
The night began and the moon shined full.
All one could do was to stare

Oh, my heart will be kicked, but it will never stay down
But, when it comes to love, the heart demands to be seen
Oh, the heart, the center of all emotion

Steam from my breathe drifted into the air,
fearless I walked on, for love never dies
My legs taking long strides,
I stepped into a puddle and saw her reflection there
I looked up,
One word from her lips came through,
All my beliefs were changed.

Now, all that was gone seems to be there, my soul is on fire.
The thought of her touch, and the hairs on my arm raise
On this night of a full moon, two hearts had never met like this,
Like two hands meeting to hold each other, we met.
To those who can see it; Love is alive, bringing me glory
We were simply passing bye and love burst in,
Love will never let us be the same

There is nothing I can say for words do no justice
I stammer for words
and all I can say does not convey the strength of my heart;
"I hope you know you are loved,
for god knows I love you,
love you for stopping the tears,
love you for causing the tears.

Enough to do anything for you, give my life, my love,
my heart and my soul to you and for you.
Enough to willingly give all my time, efforts, thoughts,
talents, trust and prayer to you.
Enough to want to protect you, care for you, listen to you
and cry to you and with you.
Enough to be completely comfortable with you, act silly
around you, never have to hide anything from you
and be myself with you.
I love you enough to share all my sentiments, dreams, goals,
fears, hopes and worries- my entire life with you.
Enough to want the best for you, to wish for your successes
and to hope for the fullfillment of all your endeavors.
Enough to keep my promises to you and pledge my loyalty
and faithfulness to you.
Enough to cherish your friendship, adore your personality,
respect your values, and see you for who you are.
I love you enough to fight for you, comprimise for you
and sacrifice myself for you if need be.
Enough to miss you incredibly when we're apart,
no matter what length of time it's for and regardless
of the distance...
Enough to believe in our relationship, to stand by it
through the worst of times, to have faith in our stength
as a couple and to never give up on us.
Enough to spend the rest of my life with you, be there
for you when you need me or want me and never ever
want to leave you or live without you. I Love You This Muc

In life there are many mysteries, we often have to question
Like the mysteries of creation, or the mysteries of the universe
The mysteries of mankind, the mysteries of romance.
I used to go through life often wondering
Just how the earth was created
What makes the grass so green, the sky so blue.
Were their stars in space before us
Did the sun and moon exist before time.
I used to think... how I would live my life
What would I be when I became a man
Where would I go in this life, what would I do when I got there.
Who would I meet along this journey
What kind of person would that be
Someone like me, I could only hope for
Someone like me, I have always dreamed of.
What words will be spoken to one another
When that one person comes along
What looks would be given, if they caught each other's eye.
A smile, or a simple hello is all it takes
To brighten someone's day
A gentle word, or a helping hand
These days can go a long, long way.
Still today and throughout the rest of time
We will often question the many mysteries
Of life's many wondrous miracles
For life itself is a many splendid miracle.
The world itself is a beautiful place
We, as society, often fail to notice that
For it is our sole responsibility
To cherish God's greatest creation.
Now with each passing day, I realize
It's not only where we go or who we become that matters
We should only be thankful to the Lord above
For the life, love, and world He has given us.
However, I believe love is not a mystery
For it is also a God given gift
It comes from deep within the heart
It shines from deep within the soul.
Now my journey still rolls on
But it is no longer alone now
For I have found someone to walk with me on this journey
I have found someone to share my life with.
She knows my thoughts, she knows my dreams
She gives me comfort when I feel pain
She has touched my heart, she entered my soul
She gives me love, so pure and whole.
For it is with her, I shall live my life
Together forever, we shall be
She is all I have ever dreamed of
For it is with her, my life is now complete.

Life, to me, is you
There's no stop to loving you
You're everything I need
You're everything I want
Every minute of thinking- is you
Always be mine
I'll always be yours
Life with you is more than everything
The way you make me feel
I close my eyes... all I see is you
Always on my mind
I'll love you forever
Because life, to me, is you.

She walks in my dreams on those dark lonely nights,
shining light in my heart once again.
I think of her over in fields, green with clover.
I want to run, hand in hand, in the wind.

I want to kiss and caress her and be her best friend.
I want to lend her my shoulder for crying.
I want to whisper sweet nothings, share her joy and her pain.
I want to laugh 'til we both feel like dying.

Come be my lover, my soul-mate, my friend,
let me share my love with your heart.
I'll love you forever, and when two become one,
it will be a romance I'd gladly impart

Your love is a rose,
still to bloom on a misty morn...

A creamy white rose,
that lies in your heart.

I await eagerly,

With hopeful eyes and a heart brimming with happiness
for the sun to shine
and give you life with a kiss of light,

I imagine how it would feel,

when petal by petal you open your heart...
How I would,
slowly, gently with the softest touch
hold the delicate rose in my hands...
How I would finger the satiny petals,
and inhale the first wisps of true love.
and ever so gently
I would place it in my heart,
and give mine to you.

Then all the birds would sing for us!
MY heart would soar,
free as a bird!
All the starry skies,
The bright full moons,
all the breathtaking sunsets of old will happen again for us!

THe world would be a stage,
set for us,
Two star-crossed lovers
To live our legacy,
and leave a legend behind
I await you with open arms...

To evaluate the difference between lust and love is my goal
To figure out if there is someone who can stimulate my soul
Lust is wanting something so badly
that your mind makes you think it's real
but when you encounter love, the thought of lust looses its appeal

The constant repitition of, "She loves me, she loves me not,"
starts to get old
Wondering if you truly love her is a story untold
You say, "I love you," but is that really true
Can your thought convey what you never knew

The feeling of a sincere look into your eyes,
being mesmerized unable to tell a lie
The feeling of a warm embrace being more than a hug
but an expression of devotion
When the remedy for pain is a simple kiss
instead of just a simple kiss

When the thought of losing her demolishes your spirit
When "I Love You" becomes more than something you say
But a contract between two lovers
allowing your souls to become as one
That's Love
I know it, because I feel it

Every day that we're together, every day that we're apart
It feels like I'm loving you for the first time
It's not just something you think about
It's something you have to know and feel
And I feel like I can love you till my last breath
and even then my last breath will be my testiomony
of love for you all over again

Eyes closed,
lips parted,
breaths mingling.
Hearts beating,
souls meeting,
becoming one.
Hearts pounding,
soft words spoken,
eyes searching
the other's face.
Two hearts
joined together,
never parting
always seeking.
Soft embrace,
gentle kisses,
longing sighs,
as we become one.

I stare longingly at the picture of you next to my bed,
as if I can almost see your soul.
I take one last look, then close my eyes,
so finally you and I can be one,
at least for the time in my mind.
I see us laughing and crying and wanting so much,
so much only love can bring.
But then I open my eyes, and your gone.
I'm left with only a picture
