POETRY: SWEET BODY CLOSE TO ME

A woman who cannot come out from the light
as she breaks free from the midnights bright
This moon that she has taken over with unknowing
sends the souls that she touches, softly glowing
Inner peace and will, strong is she
as the men that follow have taken flee
from the powers that she withholds
her mind's thoughts and her mysterious fantasy
let men with knowledge know that she is the key
So let her moonbeams shine on bright
as she is warming the lonely souls of the night
And as any man would surely want to know
all the special things... the moonlight lady holds.

Face to face, I look into your beautiful, brown eyes
As I dread telling you my last good byes
Holding each other tightly, we swear never to forget
What we have and what is not over yet
Memories we?ve shared 
Where my darling princess seems to never fail
Your voice, your smell, your laugh, your smile,
Keeps me on cloud nine and even up an extra mile
My precious angel how can you stay?
For I promise I will take care of you, day to day
I finally realize you are my true love
Sent to me from up above.
Love for you is stored deep in my heart
Along with the memories of us, in which I will never let part
Struggling to keep you close as time goes by
I close my eyes and begin to cry
A kiss to me, A kiss to you,
What are we left to do?
You whisper to me: Today we?re together, along with tomorrow, too
As long as we are in each other?s hearts ?it? will always stay true
As I get in the car and you shut the door
We look at each other, and you open it once more
A tear falls from your face and you slowly let go
Shutting the door and letting me know: You?ll be waiting for me.
With your hand on the window, you turn, and back away
Letting go and telling me you?ll never forget today.
You?ll always be with me no matter what I do,
Because I will always have that special picture of you!

When i hold your sweet body close to me 
This Love inside me will show for all to see
And when i look into your beautiful eyes
This bond we share will be no surprise
The love i have for you will last forever
And this will make me smile when we're together
The love we share is so very pure
My love will grow sronger for you, of this i'm sure 
My beautiful lady, i hold you tender on this summer's night
I hold you in my loving arms ever so tight
I need to kiss your sweet lips with mine
I know this will freeze this moment in time............

In the canyons of
my loving
Echoes resound in
the chasms of
a deathly gloom
Emptiness here in the
dust of a thousand
kisses
You gone in the
mirage of a forgotten
happiness
Desolate here in my
loneliness
And in the distance --
Rivers of longing
Hope in a shimmering
illusion
Reaching out through
the dusty storms
of our parting
Grasping at the distant
dream
And hoping, hoping
the river is reality

You are an apple
I am an orange
We're in the same category
I mean we are both fruit
So why can't we love each other?
I know we are not the same
But who wants the same?
I want different, so it keeps me thinking
I know the others might laugh at you
I know they'll tease
An apple with an orange
I know they might hurt you
But I will be there for you
To make you smile and laugh
It will be hard
But if it's easy it's not for real
Please learn to love me
Even though we are not the same
You are a woman
I am a man
We are in the same category
I mean we are both people 
So why can't we love each other?

A wish was once made by a heart so true 
for lasting love and what it can do

There was happiness and riches there was glory and fame
there was struggle and hardship, there was sorrow and shame
There was time like the present the future and the past
there was hope by this heart for a true love that would last

Then it all happened within a blink and a flash
the heart found its true love that throughout time would last

So hopefully you now see what I'm trying to say to you
is life had no meaning till I fell In Love With You...

I'll love you until the sun doesn't shine
and still even then
I'll love you through time.

If the rain doesn't fall
and new day hasn't waned,
in the dark of the night
I'd love you the same.

If the snow fell in Egypt
and the sun beat down here,
I'll still love you more
year after each year.

If the day comes 
the stars fall from heaven
I'd love you that much,
oh, that plus eleven.

Snow flakes don't amount
to how much I love you,
Rain drops can't explain it
they're far too few.

The ocean can't explain 
the depth of my soul,
It's much much too shallow
and much much too cold.

Sunshine begins to tell you 
the warmth in my heart,
Winds bring us together 
if ever apart.

No matter the time 
no matter the place,
With you in my life
nothing shall replace.

I love you.
Every single part of you.
The parts of you that love the parts of me.

Even when I'm in a bad mood,
I know you can always make me smile,
and I know you love me.

I even love the not-so-nice parts of you,
parts that make you moody,
parts that make you want to just

get away from everyone for a while,
even get away from me for a while.
And that's okay!

Everyone needs time alone
or else they'd go crazy.
Just remember... if you ever need me,

I'm always here for you,
and I'll always care.
Even when no one else does.

Even if it seems trivial and stupid,
you can tell me.
I'll always listen,

because I love you.
Every single part.
And I just wanted you to know.

In humble supplication, I plead on bended knee
don't walk away and leave me - darling stay by me!
Our troubles and our hardships have hardened both our hearts,
but time and peace - togetherness - can work-out missing parts.

My need for you is heightened - by every passing hour.
The days have turned to ashes - the nights are bleak and dour.
Memories of you linger 'round every door and wall,
(I even hear your footsteps and see you in the hall.)

Oh love! I beg and beg you - please, don't you turn away.
Let's start anew - discard the past - remove the skies of gray.
It only takes a "trying" - to put two hearts in tune.
We need reminding now and then - of "what we had in June".

So, dearest, please forgive me - for any wrong or crime,
or lack of understanding, which can so - our souls begrime.
Say you WILL forgive me - please turn around and stay.
Release my bond - return to me - begin another day.

How can you love someone you have never seen
with a feeling so passionate
that it makes your heart skip a beat
at the sound of their voice?

A love with such a passion that life could have never 
known in your wildest dreams
for this love I would take the chance of heartbreak
but to feel one moment in my life 
with such a passion, such a feeling would be unbelievable
I would give you your wants, needs, love, and my life-
to deny such a love that I have for you
would be the most fatal of mistakes

For the passion of your presence, the sound of your voice
would make my world filled with love and laughter
so I am giving this to you with all my heart, soul, and 
I will always be there, no matter what, so
this passion for you
will always be true...

I love you because my hand fits so perfectly with yours.
Because our lips melt together like candy.
Because our bodies wrapped together are as one.
Because at night, when I'm holding you in my arms, 
our world is so, right.

I love you for your heart and its truthfulness, its love that is 
so pure, even when our life at times is unsure...
I love you for sharing your dreams and for knowing my own.
And for even when your tired, for listening, to some silly poem.

I love you for looking past the moon and seeing the stars.
But most of all "I Love You" For this love of ours...
