POETRY: TRUE LOVE IS THE HEALER OF OUR LONELINESS

You stir in me such strong desires
my passion awaits to be set free,
Your touch, I fantasize puts me on fire
my sailor from the blue sea
Like the rolling waves, our love starts out slowly
builds, then rushes to shore
Your scent, the taste of sweet desire
makes my body yearn for more
My mind gets lost in oblivion
as we journey toward the yellow moon
Our hearts seek new adventure
new dreams begin inside this darkened room
Like stars our bodies shimmer
as we romance in burning candlelight
Your body lying next to mine, touching
entwined together feels so right
Your eyes they capture my innocence
Fire, passion, embracing, loving
moving, kissing, sensing,
When we finally reach the moon
our hearts in mindful lock and keep
We'll embrace ourselves in each other's arms
in peaceful dreams we sleep....

Loving in the long
lazy morning
Loving, loving
and loving again
Endless rhythms
of the ocean
Dull deep heartbeats
of a bass guitar
Soulful sounds
of a languishing songstress

Loving forever
in the cool
quiet
day morning
in love with loving
And the dull, dull beat
of our throbbing hearts
In unison
Loving
Endlessly

Two hearts come together in sweet ecastasy,

the highest point of

happiness. As souls we search long

and far for that comfort.

The very feeling of want and desire.

Minutes, hours, days and even years.

we could search for that defined pleasure.

I don't mean, just, sexual

lust. I mean the finer arts of

the heart, the true, deep meaning of love.

To be anothers soulmate, we

need to search deep within

ourselves to find what we really want and dream,

but, until then, we are just travelers in a void

which, we live in...

The heart that beats inside our bodies is fragile

needing care and a soft touch...

True love is

the healer of our loneliness...

the protector of our fears.

While walking on the beach one day and feeling rather lost
I stood down by the water to try and clear my thoughts
When up ahead I see a woman, kneeling in the sand
Writing something in it with nothing but her hand

I walked a little closer as he quickly walked away
And as I came upon it, I wondered what it'd say
When I looked down and read it, I felt my heart beat true
Cuz in a single hand-drawn heart, the words said "I Love You"

I felt this was a message you didn't wanna say
So I knelt down to send one back on this very special day
In the sand, beside your heart, I drew one of my own
To serve as a reminder, you will never be alone

I drew my heart to interlock, to hold me close, it's true
And in my single hand-drawn heart I wrote, "I Love You 2"

Each night I dream a little dream
They change with the seasons and they move with the winds.
Sometimes I dream of flowers, some I dream of mountains,
Each dream brings a joy to my heart though,
For each dreams brings holds a picture of you

A nightmare will shed,
The storms will calm, turn the gray skies blue,
A blizzard turns away to bring a bright sunshiny day
The nights could be as cold as the winter nights in the artic
But with just a little dream of you
I lay in nothing but warmth and joy

A little dream is all it a takes,
To take me to such a wonderful place,
It is said to each their own,
And mine is you, to take me to my home

Each night all I ask is to dream a little dream
Should I wake or should I sleep
A dream with you is more than I need to please
You have wandered into my life and now my arms
And you have found a way into my heart.

Now that place lets you wander into my dreams
They say that the mind controls your dreams,
But my heart controls your access, for in my heart is the key
The key to the love of my dreams

Every day I count the hours till in bed I lay,
hoping to dream a little dream
Doesn't have to be long, just a minute or two
Just as long as I see you...
I know many a time I should not be dreaming of this
But you wandered into my life, my arms,
my heart and now my dreams
That is why each night all I ask is to dream a little dream...

The room is dark, except for the warm amber glow
Of a scented candle;
Where we lay close together and your breath
comes across as a silent whisper.
Our palms perspire, as our fingers are tightly bound;
Hearts rejoicing at the love we have found.
I look into your eyes and see they are endless,
so loving and so true.
What better moment shared,
than a moment shared with you.
If there ever was a doubt before...
I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you
and that I know for sure.

There is a challenge, one day, all find.
Falling so completely in love they are blind.
Down through the ages it's never been easy
One's heart beats faster, the stomach turns quesy.
Seeking for love is an answer never found
Most don't want the pressures of being so 'bound'.
Falling in love has many conflicts, you see
Having that special someone love you for all eternity.
It can be wonderful, frightening, confusing too
A challenge of the heart is what one goes through.
Many who are lucky in finding true love are blessed
They've somehow managed to find one to pass the 'test'.
Someone to share both the good and the bad
The greatest feeling that's ever been had.
Yes, falling in love can be a challenge as such
When the right one comes along it means so much.
Take care, have fun, enjoy life to the fullest degree
Don't be taken unaware; it will happen to you as it has to me.

silky waters awash with blues
Immortal earth's heavenly hues
Beauty lay upon seductive seas
Glimmered ripples play upon the breeze

Beyond the ribboned colors of red
Where city lights dare not tread
Radiant sparkles glitter above
A blackness broken by pearl doves

My gaze rests upon your eyes
Luminescent stars in midnight's sky
As your stare pierces into my heart
The melody of a soul's lonely art

Growth brings you new beauty and fears
And with new years will come new tears
Yet those closest will hold you high
When not much else to do but cry

Your beauty of heart exceeds the skin
A light spreads to others from within
I ask you for one descriptive word
Appropriate aren't any I've heard

With you my thoughts I will share
Easy you are with heaven to compare
Its heights, like yours, never conceived
To find a soul so pure I never believed

Parallel are you to all so pure
The aura about you offers its cure
If fortune and future shall allow to be
I wish your light closer to me

eep in the forest,
the kayak beached,
the fire dwindles
and stars illuninate the skies

Within the walls of this small tent
I reflect, looking to the heavens
But then the warmth within
my spirit
reaches

I did not know what love was
did not know the joy
or the longings
I did not reconcile
within

yet , with simple quiet
I realize that the desire
of knowing a smile
seeing the stars within your eyes
could bring out so many things

I spend most of my time
exploring
yet the exploration within my soul
here in the quiet
can only be defined

as to discover
love
and the compass
you

Night breezes caress and sway
over my skin
Tingling and teasing me, deep within
They bring the memories
of yesterday's encounter
cause me to long for a far away lover
I hope the night breezes speak to her
make her stand tall for all to see
I needn't see her, for she has seen me
She has seen me, by the glow of the moon
She has seen me uncovered
stretching the truth
She will see me soon, in any way she pleases
naked, bundled, begging on my knees
Lying in her arms is where I see myself
aching with desire
fermented by time

Dark clouds shift ever so slowly across the vast plains of my heart.
Sunshine never shines in the autumn of your passing
from the vision of my sight.
How I wish the summer would replace the winter of my fear,
To hold you close to have you here.
Empty winds blow from afar.
Music like a tinkling bell resides afar from my ears,
themselves destined to hear only the empty winds which blow.
Never clear, not here, only distant sounds, I think I hear.

On the distant horizon the weather pattern I need,
I despair, it's so far, never quite clear.
Sun shines brightly over there in Aotearoa, not here.
For my love resides in a far away place.
She has, I know, the Sun with her in that place,
the land of the long, white cloud.
Along with the bright rays that shine over there
rests a small star, so bright, also, so clear.
Lighting the darkest nights with its rays, it's my little Stacey,
My little star.
Her smile, so bright, so wide, so nice,
has teddy sitting still so warm, so right.
I want my Sun, my star, my life.
Only cold winds blow afar, so cold like ice.
To melt them I need my sun, my star, my girls, my life.

To each their own,
Everybody has someone, many times I feel alone,
kept company only by the clouds of despair.
To turn the sun on turn up the light,
night into day so simple, of course it can be done.
Come back, let the swift wings of a jet combat the night.
To do battle, banish the night,
turn dark clouds to sunshine, make my world right.
Love conquers all, especially the heavy clouds that dim my sight.
Banish them away into the night.
A smile melts the frozen pond, thaws the ice that binds my life.

A gentle touch, springs flow, a flower grows,
the warmth, the heat, the life,
gushing forth like a brook, skipping, singing,
following its course to the source.
Let the Sun shine a light on my heart,
banish those winds that blow afar.
I am the source, come to me,
skipping, shiny eyed, happy of course.
True Love runs deep; it's all-powerful, too,
like the Sun and the Stars that choose their course.
Shine, heat, love this way. Banish those dark clouds right away.

There is a spot right here. I pat the Earth, I pat the Chair,
By my side together right here,
To walk down the lane way of life's path

When you want the definition of a word,
where do you turn?
Do you,
flip through a dictionary,
call on a friend?

Well, I want the definition of Beauty,
but neither the largest dictionary,
nor closest friend,
Could do those sweet six letters any justice.

No Beauty magazine,
could give me the tip;
No fortune teller,
would be able to predict;
Ask a philosopher,
and he is confused.

But ask me,
and see what you would discover.
My answer would be,
true Beauty is defined only by
YOU.

She whispers softly
Into my ear.
Suddenly a thousand melodies
Burst forth in gentle showers

Magnificent rose petals
Rain down from an ethereal sky
And cover our naked bodies
With invisible fragrances
And a deep, long sigh
Fills our souls
With ecstacy

I wake to feel the longing
In the depths of my heart
The dream has ended
For now
