POETRY:IT'S YOU THAT.................

It was you that changed my life
and the way I looked at it,
it was you that changed my mind
when all I could think of was dying alone.
Now that you came into my life
I think of flying with you.
When I thought no one cared, you showed up
and with you my problems I shared.
Now you are all I care about
because you somehow changed my mind
when no one else could.
I love you for "you" and nothing else...
It's you that I live for...
It's you that I want to marry
and spend the rest of my days with.
Baby, in other words, you'll always be my ANGEL,
and you have affected my life like no other woman has,
and I LOVE YOU for that

Love sometimes can be like
There's no way to say forever
I may not realize my dreams
And love sometimes is like the blowing wind
It can take us to wherever
But I have broken the rules of love
I never thought I could come this far
And now I am lost in my emotions
You're becoming my devotion
I have found in your eyes the deepest answers
To the questions of my heart
I have found the light to fill the darkness
In the shadows of my life
My love is true when I am with you.

It seems so long
since I held you in my arms
The memory of your touch
still lingers on my body
Your whispered words of love
are echoing in my ears
My heart skips a beat
whenever I hear your name

The days seem to drag by
as I anxiously await your return
The night is haunting my soul
with wisps of time we spent together
A song we listened to sends chills
up and down my spine
The scent of you is everywhere
always reminding me and taunting me

My world is at a standstill
till at last you return
To claim me once again and remind me
we belong to each other forever
And no amount of time spent apart
can ever change our love for each other

The crashing of the ocean
The setting of the sun
The whispering of the willow
The way the river runs...

The way the eagle's calling
The way the panther leaps
The way the stars keep falling
The way the hollow sleeps

In the golden of the daytime
And the ebony-hued night
In the brooding of the darkness
And the brilliance of the light

The breathing of a baby
The love a mother gives
The sounds of laughing children
The life a father lives

These things are precious to the heart
They take the breath away
But they can never match the beauty
I see in you today.

My thoughts, my thoughts, they are always only of You
My thoughts are my writings, something different, something new

My thoughts are always changing each and every day
My thoughts turn into words of what I want to say

My thoughts become my memories and why I think of You
My thoughts fill my heart with words of a Love so true

My thoughts will keep flowing like the water in a stream
My thoughts are always only of You and You are my dream

My thoughts are a sharing of the Love I have with You
I Miss You, I Need You, I Want You, But most of all

I Love You

With all of My mind, My body and My soul
With Endless Thoughts of You

When I feel your touch,
it makes my body tremble.
When I smell your hair,
it makes me hunger for your passion.
When I taste your lips,
it sweeps me to our beginning,
the beginning of our fire going ablaze.
When I hear you call for me,
I know I belong and have fullness of life.
Oh but the power of your eyes.
To look into those eyes,
will take the breath from me,
stop time and hold me in eternity's arms
with just a glimpse of those eyes.

I want to place my hand in yours
and protect you from all harm.

I long to stroke your hair
and walk with you, arm in arm.

Your beauty surrounds me, intoxicates me,
lays me down to sleep.

To me, you are the blessed,
the shepherd to my sheep.

Two ordinary people taking a graceful stroll, not saying a word,
touching a hand, but deeply longing to hold.
He hesitates to stare into her eyes fearing someone might see
Knowing if he does they might gasp at what they might be.
He turns and thinks of another way to show her he cares
But every way he thinks of is not without a touch or a stare.
They've been walking for an hour now without having spoken a word
Yet he knows she needs to hear those things
even though they've already been heard.
They walk on a little further and with every step tension grows
She looks over at him sadly amd immediately he knows....
Stop! He yells, I can't take this don't you see!
This lady I walk with in silence is the love of my life and dreams!
How can you people do this, make us live our lives this way
For without her words as well as mine we might as well not be what we say.
No longer will I give into this, no longer will I hold in my thoughts.
This lady I stand here with is the one who without I am lost.
So Damn you people for making us hide the way we truly feel
I shall belt it out over houses, bridges, mountains, and even hills.
So take that society to us there is no color
Her heart belongs to me as mine to hers
(and if you haven't noticed) they bleed the same red color.
So here we stand before you people declaring our love is true
Though outside different colors show I'll still be...

LOVING YOU

You are asking...
Why I love you?
It is a mystery.
Do you know?
Needs no explanation...

You are mysterious
I know,
From the orbit
To the core.
You do not know...

I love you,
You know.
But you do not know
How much;
You do not know
Why;
You do not know!
It is a mystery...

You are my mystery!
I know...
I want to solve you
All my life,
As I know why;
I want to love you
All my life...

To my love for which I care
Through your times of rejoice or despair
When I feel you slightest touch the world seems right
For there is a cover of love that hinders my sight
When I feel your heart beating next to mine
I know that our love will withstand the winds of time
When I hold you tightly in a loving embrace
Everything is right and the world is in place
The taste of love is still fresh on my lips
For it is your taste for which my lip drips
My ocean of love knows no end
For when I search for your memories I refill again
Though I pray that we shall never part
The feelings of love will forever echo in my heart

A woman enters my life....
sometimes she is the soft wind that sweeps around me gently, caressing my face, leaving me as quickly as she came. In that moment she has managed to embed a part of herself into my soul, so effortlessly, simply because she exists, and for a moment I knew her.

Sometimes a woman is a forceful storm, you will notice her always, she is the hot flames dancing in front of you....calling you.....see me she says...remember me....

A Woman's presence can always be sensed, even when quiet externally..within her burns a stong, illuminating light that cradles her passion...encased in her soul. Release them from her...you are forever changed..

Stong, Beautiful, Nurturing, Intelligent, Carefree, Sharp-witted, Passionate, Vibrant, Elusive, Playful, Ever-changing, Intriquing, Gentle....

I've sensed you all, been enveloped by your passion, inspired by your strength, learned from your intelligence, wept from your gentleness...Loved you all...

My heart is a collage filled with traces of you....

Longing the nights steaming windows,
so close i could touch your soul
hear me in your dreams
and lost in your memory...
screams tear the dark tonight
