POETRY: YOUR VOICE IS LIKE A GENTLE LULLABY THAT CRADLES MY VERY SOUL

Let me not fear death-for I'm in love;
I explore what you bring from my perch above. 
A craving I have for your sweet aroma,
Which promises passion and strange euphoria;
I take you whole, with no reproach,
I listen carefully for your approach;
You taunt me like forbidden fruit,
I wanting only to taste of your juice;
I love you dear, my little tease,
My storm is coming from these boiling seas.

WHEN we are so far apart 
CAN sorrow break our tender hearts 
I love you darling, i really do 
SLEEP is so sweet, when I dream of you 
ALL I do is think of us two 
NIGHT is near so I must close my eyes 
WITH this I'll leave a thought in mind 
YOU must read the first words in each line

3

You are the vision
That illuminates my soul.
One that conjures my passion
Bringing love, I did not know.
Burning brighter than a star,
With all the mysteries of the moon,
Holding the secrets of who you are,
Forbidden to part, with such knowledge soon.
I am but a snowflake that falls today.
You, ever so radiant, are the sun.
Once I have landed in your ray,
I shall melt, my existence here... begone. 
That is where our bond shall grow,
For it is life's chosen way,
Making me the mate of your soul
Giving my very own... away.

4

Pieces of you make me whole
And give me daily strength.
When I put the pieces together
I have my love at length.

We shared our hearts 
And combined our thoughts,
Even with distance between our bodies.
Our souls connected all the parts.

Harmony existed in our dreams,
There we created a bond that grew,
And being apart isn't what it seems
Because I find pieces of you inside me.

What does "in love" mean...
In love means being with only you
In love means never wanting to let you go
In love means always wanting you a little bit more
What does "in love" mean...
In love is getting lost in those deep blue eyes
In love is getting that feeling deep inside
In love is getting a rush througout my body
What does "in love" mean...
In love is wanting just one more kiss
In love is wanting just one more glance my way
In love is wanting to hold you in my arms forever
What does "in love" mean...
In love is loving your wonderful smile
In love is loving you for who you are
In love is loving you till my last breath
What does "in love" mean...
In love is being with you
In love is staying with you
In love is simply...
You

You dwell in the shadows of my mind
And in the heart that beats inside of me
You are in the wind and rain as they reach my body
You capture me with rays of the sun and bring me warmth

Softly I whisper the sound of your name
The joy I feel is overwhelming
You are in the moon that lights my pathway as I walk at night
You make my eyes flash like the stars twinkling in the skies

My heart pounds as thunderous waves against the shore
At the mere mention of your name
Sweet sounds of birds singing announce your presence
When you are near

The sun is setting from the sky, so does the peace you bring- abide
And in the quiet of the evening shadows the silence brings 
Thoughts of you to the fore... 
Awakening and stirring passions within

By your side is where I wish to remain and in your arms, forevermore
Feeling the safety of your tender harbor, as a ship when it sights shore
Your smile is the day's beginning and lovingly brings it to a close
Your voice is like a gentle lullaby that cradles my very soul

I am filled with the love of your being
Blessed by the day you were born 
Favored with the privilege and gift of having met you 
And knowing you love me in return

You don't have to speak a word,
of love and all its glory.
For when I look into your face, 
Your eyes, they tell the story.

Your tender eyes relate the things
Only a heart can say.
They cry, and when they smile again
They chase the clouds away.

In every fleeting glance I find
New faith is given me.
Your eyes suggest riches, beyond gold,
that only I'm blessed to see.

And when I seek an answer to
Some problem close at hand,
Just the way you look at me
Tells me... you understand.

I hope that when you look at me
You, too, can realize
The peace I feel while gazing in
...The wonder of your eyes.

When you have settled in my mind I cannot define 
whether anything is hot or cold
I blink and see you; I cannot see anyone apart from you
You are my soul walking around 
I will pay the price to do everything possible 
to protect you from any harm

You are the love of my life 

I wrote my love to you on a paper, but grid fire burnt it away 
I wrote my love to you in the sky, but the wind blew it away
I wrote my love to you in my heart and no one can tear it away
and forever it will remain
I feel upset when you frown; my face shines when you smile
I praise God to bless your name 
I sing your name when I am alone 
Pretend I am with you 

You are the love of my life

You are so sweet and sour your fragrance stirs my fears 
I am glad when I have you in sight 
Upset when you leave 
Your saliva heals my wounds 
Food is tasteless when you are famine shed
My love for you won?t fade till my shadow fades
In the dark and gloom I see you 
You are the vision of my life
You deserve everything I own 
You face radiates a beam that guides me through the day 

You are the love of my life

Don?t anger me so I stay anguished 
You are the circulator of my blood 
If it stops for seconds my life is done 
You are the dream of my life, the will of my future
You fill my life with glee
Guide me through 
You are sunlight in my life

You and I, unspoken words
soft and brilliant, just like the birds
Your love is so bright, like a light in the night
so warm it wants to bite, even warm when you're in flight
These words unspoken make my heart feel broken
unbroken, then broken again
Soft whispers of a lonely man wanting to be with you...
I will be true to you...
Whenever nights are blue and there's nothing else to do...
I think of you
Picture you and me, and see how things could be
and think maybe you and me
together in some lovely weather, wherever
cherishing a treasured moment... forever
Your touch is like flowers after warm April showers
your lips so tender, it's something I'll always remember
Your smile is as beautiful as a blooming rose, that always shows
and your kiss, your kiss is something lost in unspoken bliss
I wish to find your kiss

10

I've fallen, I'm still falling for you,
in a trap without an escape,
a prisoner in your world,
overwhelmed, surrounded by a beautiful landscape.

I know not why, from chemisty,
or how we came to be,
a mixture of uncommon components,
creating a solution
that was meant to be.

Impossible to change my past...
no matter how hard I wish,
it remains a fact.
And I wish you could trust me,
giving as easily as one gentle kiss.
Float with me high in the sky
in a heavenly bliss.

And when I think of you,
I think of me,
can't help but think what could be.
Always I think of you,
night, and day,
your touch, your feel, your warmness.
Please come my way.

You know you can't predict the future,
no matter how hard you try.
It's wise to follow your instincts,
but they won't always be right.
Life is about chances and taking risks.
Obstacles occur, without them,
relationships simply wouldn't exist.

Any day, at any cost,
that ticket I'll buy,
to play the game...
you can have it your way.
My only stipulation,
and one small request,
is that you'll be there with me.
I can then conquer whatever comes next.

I want to guide you up a mountain so high,
together we can catch the clouds strolling by.
Inject you with an indescribable feeling inside,
take you along on a magical ride,
be your knight in shining armor,
you be my queen upon my throne.
I'll protect and serve you,
show you a love you've never known.

I miss you...
I need you, undoubtably so.
Without you, Dear,
I am engulfed in terrible woe.
And as the time passes by,
it's not certain what lies ahead.
Oh, I wish you were here.
Take a chance,
push aside the distance and fear.
The real picture will inevitably appear.

Love is anyone or anything you give your soul to.
Soul is what makes things immortal. 
Therefore, love never dies and if it does, 
it was never love...
But only lust

12

Their love has receded 
Into an endless stream of hellos and goodbyes
Of not-so chance meetings
For glimpses of the other.

A colorful parade of effigies
Mocks the knowing heart
Taunting, caring, bruising, loving
Only to grieve when they part.

Two poor souls caught in their house of mirrors
A tapestry of truth and lies
Not knowing what is real
Not knowing what to seek.

Names long forgotten
Pieces that will never fit
For as long as this charade goes on
These people will never meet.
