POETRY: YOU ALWAYS TOUCH ME IN A WAY

My love, like rain,
Pours down once again.

My love, like rain,
Can be soft and gentle;
Or hard... either way with much to gain.

My love, like rain,
Can soothe even the worst of pain.

My love, like rain,
Is pure and true;
And meant.. especially for you

The strength of beauty is
whatever beautiful presence one might see.
There have never been truer words
spoken of beauty that wasn't pertaining to thee.

That my eyes have had the privilege to look thereon.
Your smile has planted in my heart a permanent song,
that is constantly lighting the fires in the skies
every time I look into the eyes... 
of purity.

Your presence is what beauty is to me.
Though time presses me to move on,
I shall forever remember the melody of this song,
which pure strings are clearer than the mountain springs 
in the strength of summertime.

There has never been a sweeter melody to my heart, 
so kind,
that I could claim as my own.

Your eyes, such a deep sensuous brown
Penetrate through the depths
Of my soul and I lose
Myself in
Them
Your hands, so sensuously soft and gentle
As you explore every my
Body, sends my heart racing
With shuddered
Breaths
Your lips, so delectably soothing and full
Of passion as they part with desire
To cover mine as you take
Me deeper and
Deeper
Your heart, so pure flowing with love for
Me that I go weak with deire; Such 
Sweet ecstasy with every
Heart-beat

I'm at a bridge, looking across to where you stand
I take a step towards the middle, offering my hand
but you still look back, turning away from me
I reach out farther with my hand, hoping you will see

I can't reach all the way across to where you are
you have to take a step also, it's just too far
don't look back at the what ifs, that bridge is gone
it leads nowhere, to choose it would be wrong

I alone built this road with a bridge to cross
it's steady and it's true, unlike the others we lost
I see you standing, looking uneasy and unsure
wondering if by chance your past I could cure

I walk on out to the middle waiting with my hand
it's up to you now, take it or alone you will stand
I took the first step, now I'm waiting here for you
in the middle of a bridge I built strong enough for two

The stars move quietly into the kind night,
And the wonders of nature's glory are seen upon thee;
For above all this glorious sight,
Shall raise thy immortality.
Ever fading is the night's beacon light
And though gentle still:
Her quiet rays pose a fight,
And doth her words do me fill.
But though her rays are not fading
Yet bright above all things
And her voice doth sing:
To which the mortal soul clings.
For thou lasting pow'r ever be,
And for for me that I shall see.

You always touch me in a way-
I could never forget the smell, the taste,
the longing and the agony of our first bliss;
the longest moment held in the spotlight 
of our grace.

It's a long way to the end of the road,
you always remind me.

Times like these hit me in the jaw,
break my back, burn my soul. 
Nothing left but the ashes of memories
of people who made us great - 
songs no one sings dances no one has seen,
and a spotlight on a halo that never existed.

Pain has never been so real.
I have never felt so alive.
You have never been so far away.
You always.

verytime I look at you, I am fascinated by your beauty.
Your beauty has spellbound my heart and eyes.
My heart beats with love and life when you are around me, beautiful.

I see your inner beauty that has captured my heart and soul.
Your inner beauty and the beauty on the outside fascinate me.
When I see your beauty in the moonlight... I am awestruck.

Your beauty has stolen my heart and soul.
My heart yearns to be with you when we are apart.
Your beauty fills the emptiness in my heart and soul.

I never thought a person of your beauty existed but, 
Now my heart and soul know your beauty.
After seeing your beauty- I am head over heels in love.

When I first saw your beauty it took my breath away.
Your beauty is like no other I have seen.
I have seen a truly fascinating beauty- in you.

Like a tattoo, you are painted, printed, 
On my body, all over my soul; 
Like a dream, your memory remains 
Inside of me, inside my skin. 

The flower of you, the silken petals 
Are etched into my tender skin, 
My delicate soul is soaked with you: 
The memory of you... is like my tattoo. 

Body art is the recognition of the fact 
That I belong to you, 
That I am owned by you, 
Forever stamped by you . . . 

Like a song echoing through the valleys of my aching heart, 
You are presented in me, 
An angelic chorus in me, 
A precious operetta in me; 
Your magnum opus is what I am, you see, 
A magic melody, 
A helpless harmony, 
An innocent tragedy-- 

But I am whole.
Your stamp, forever marked on my helpless skin;
My tattoo,
I am forever burning within, the 
Hot scent of you, throughout my being. 

My tattoo, 
I love the persuasive spell of you, 
The haunting passion of you, 
The ferocious majesty of you . . . 

My romantic melody, 
I adore the thrill of you, 
The stunning feel of you, 
The irresistible touch of you-- 

And Oh! My darling, sweet tattoo, 
Remember that I am yours, 
For the gentle passion of the hours, 
The exquisite dreams of lovers . . . 

My darling angel of light, 
You give me peace through hard times, 
You fill me with the breath of Spring 
All fresh and sweet with tender feeling. 

My lovely, breathless tattoo, 
I forever belong to you; 
I willingly long for you, 
You are my forbidden taboo . . . 

For upon my hungry skin 
Are you 
Eternally tattooed.

Have you ever tasted passion?
Have you ever felt the fire
deep enough to move you,
To sear you with desire?

Have you stood upon the mountain
and looked into the night
and felt the sudden freedom
that comes with love's delight?

Have you roared with the lions
as the evening shadows fall?
Have you fallen in the battle
just to rise above it all?

Can you walk upon the waters?
Can you stand against the tide?
Can you bare your heart and soul
and never try to hide?

Have you ever felt the rapture
of your lover's warm embrace
and lingered there for hours
in the shadow of her face?

Have you seen forever
as you've looked into her eyes?
Or felt the calming presence
as you lay down by her side?

Well, I have touched these wonders
and held them in my hand.
It was the day I met you
that these miracles began.

And on my dying day
the last thing I hope to see
is the beauty of your smile
and the love it brought to me.

You are my world, my love, my life
The only one thought that's on my mind
When you're away
I'm like a bird with no wings
A sun with no shine
I'm no one without you
You've taken my heart
And run away with it
You've taken it and it's never coming back
It's with you always
It's yours forever
Beating as your heart beats
Hurting as your heart hurts
Loving you every second along the way
I can't live one day without you
When you're gone
I feel like I'm fading away
Like I'm not complete
You're the most wonderful person 
In the whole world
And I love you more than anything
More than anyone could ever imagine
You're my perfect little angel
And I hope you love me, too

She kissed me in the morning 
When I got out of bed
She came without a warning
As she gently caressed my head

The storm had finally left me
Now I see the light
She is the only one I'll need
My friend, my angel

I realize now what I've had all along
She is my radiant sun

When I wake up in the morning if you are not there beside me -
I run to the phone to hear your voice
I cannot start my day without you...

I go about my day not really living - 
only going through the motions, until I am with you - 
Than I am alive...

It's knowing the two of us have become 
one mind, one heart, one life...
Were Together...In Love...

When we are apart I am only surving as half 
until I am with you - 
Than I am whole again...

Everyone goes through life searching for that one person 
who makes you feel whole, ends your sentences, 
and finishes your thoughts. 
That person who brings the last piece of happiness to your world.

I've found that person... In You...
You have fulfilled my life...
