POETRY: DRAWN TO YOU

The ancient Greeks at science's start,
Saw all the world's constituents
As things which strove to stay apart,
And called these things the elements.

Now earth, for one, would remain down,
And if displaced into the air,
Would seek return unto the ground,
For nat'rally its place was there.

And, likewise, with the other two,
In this way forces were explained.
They understood why it was true,
While some things moved, others remained.

In subatomic current days,
We scoff at early science games,
Creating force in different ways,
A muddled mess of part'cle names.

But sometimes early models hold
And while you're digging through their ore,
You'll find a nugget made of gold
In knowledge from those days of yore.

For I have learned, and it is thus,
Simple as with those el'ments three,
That I'm not I, but half of us,
With you-- the natural place for me.

lost in a world of false hope
schemers beating dreamers 10 to 1
looking for salvation in her eyes
could this woman surely be the one?
searching a lifetime for true love
sometimes one finds it at the start
sometimes one finds it in the middle
sometimes one finds it apart
i saw dreams dancing in her eyes
shimmering stars of what could be
i took a chance and entered there
no longer lost, she helped me see
found in a world of false hope
dreamers beating schemers 10 to 1
finding salvation in her eyes
this woman and i are now one

I wonder what it would be like
to give myself to you
Will you take me to my star
and make this dream come true?
Would you hold my hands
and be the angel from above
Who'd play with me and laugh with me
just to know we're both in LOVE?
If I ever come across
these wonders about you
I'll end up saying
how much I LOVE YOU !!!

You are gone now, my love.
Where have you gone, my love?
I will follow you, my love,
to the darkest depths of damnation.
I will find you, my love.
I will search for you, my love.
Through every world and every light,
I will search, my love.

Our game of hide and seek could last all eternity 
and I will find you, my love.
Our hearts beat as one whether you are near or far.
I will find you, my love.
My heart serves me better than any blood hound, my love.
I will find you.
I can see you in the stars;
I can feel you in the rays of the sun.
I can hear you in the songs of birds;
I can smell you in the breeze.
I will find you, my love.

Until our eyes meet, my love;
Until our hands touch, my love;
Until our lips embrace, my love;
Until we meet again, my love.
You are gone now, my love,
I will find you, my love, my soul mate

In Your Eyes..i see your future.


The function of the poet is to exhibit the human soul,
by being in love with an equally passionate heart;
Inspired words flowing from the heart...
To share ones heart felt love and
to bring back the romance in poetry
the way it's meant to be


All my life I have waited for you Now I finally know I am whole Before we met how did I ever survive? No more will my life be empty and alone 

You're where I belong Your love has made me strong My feelings grow with each day It's your love that lights my way 

You hold me close Your kisses taste so sweet No longer does my heart want to flee My soul now dances with glee 

You came from out of nowhere And landed at my feet I am so lucky that we did meet And you found a place within my heart 

The strength of your arms Keep me safe from harm In my heart there is finally a song All because of you You're Where I Belong.

Love is accused of much pain,
But it is not the true culprit,
For the true causer has many disguises,
Such as jealousy, hatred, and spite,
Love always comes as it is welcome,
Although it doesn’t always leave when need be,
But either way,
Love is gentle,
Love is kind,
And Love is not what breaks the heart.

Love is most always covered up with lies,
Denial, defiance, and insubordination,
These all play a part in heartbreak,
Not love, but who it accompanies,
Love feels good, never bad,
Love only hurts when it must end,
But either way,
Love is gentle,
Love is kind,
And love is not was breaks the heart.

It's like a kiss over each eyelid that runs through your body. 
And you are light and you are free, but these kisses, they make you blind.
Being in love is like looking at a picture 
that takes you to a place in your mind full with pure indistinct pleasure, 
pleasure that brings a smile to your face and tears to your eyes. 
And all at once you become ablaze with emotion.
Being in love is like that one song that caresses your soul; 
that one song that when heard from another room with the sound distorted, 
you still know it verbatim; 
that one song that when heard makes everything come to a halt. 
Because the music flows in you and out of you, 
and all around you, teasing and taunting you, coming so close but yet so far.
Being in love is all good, all evil, all that is light, and all that is dark.
Being in love is like nothing ever felt before.

When I first laid eyes upon your face,
My heart started painting a picture it can never erase.
A picture that only my heart can view,
Each and every time it thinks of you.

It's been over a year now, since that day,
My heart started a painting that would never fade.
With your each and every tender touch
Comes, yet, another stroke of the brush.

This is not a picture of your beautiful face,
It's a representation of your warm embrace.
It's a painting of what I feel, so true 
Deep down inside because of my love for you

It's a painting that will forever shine,
Because it?s painted from a feeling, so divine,
A feeling that?s born from your sweet, warm kiss,
A feeling that will forever give me eternal bliss.

Oh how I wish you could clearly see,
Exactly, what you mean to me,
It's a beautiful picture, I cannot lie,
Even though I cannot see it with my own eyes.

Just remember, the next time I hold you close,
All my heart needs is for another 'pose.'
So, focus your senses and bring your voice to a hush,
And you'll hear the gentle sound of a gliding brush.

As I lay myself down to sleep at night,
my eyes grow heavy, reality drifts out of sight,
and into the world of dreams I journey,
to see what majestic wonders it holds for me...

A world where I can be whatever I want to be,
travel to the ends of the earth, past the northern sea,
into the heaven’s my soul is free and can fly away,
to anywhere I’ve ever wished to be on any give day...

This realm was created for you and me,
take my hand and enter my endless tranquillity,
dear Dreamgirl of mine,
let this dream never end...

Though I know not who you are, I feel you are near,
we meet in my dreams, where my words I never fear,
for we were meant to be together here in my heart,
even if this a dream, I feel we shall never truly be apart...

This realm was created for you and me,
take my hand and enter my endless tranquillity,
dear Dreamgirl of mine,
let this dream never end...

Into the starry night we voyage seeking the morning light,
hand in hand, we are one on this journey across the night,
once more the dream must end as the sun breaks the horizon,
as I hold you close, I wish that this moment would always go on...

This realm was created for you and me,
take my hand and enter my endless tranquillity,
dear Dreamgirl of mine,
let this dream never end...

Back into reality I seek out what was lost the night before,
it seemed so real, was I really the one that you seemed to adore?
Alas I shall not know, for who was this Dreamgirl, was it you?
I’ll see you again when the I fall asleep and the dream starts
anew...

This realm was created for you and me,
take my hand and enter my endless tranquillity,
dear Dreamgirl of mine,
let this dream never end...

Outside a corner store she stood, staring at the ground..
bent over slowly, picking up an object she had found...
She puts it in her pocket, a smile upon her face...
thinking this could really be, some sort of saving grace..
A penny, lying face upturned, good luck for her it seems..
she'll take it home and place it in her jar of empty dreams..
Then she'll light a candle, it's a ritual, you see..
although it makes no sense, sometimes, to folks like you and me..
To her it means there could be hope, that all in life is good..
and penny thoughts are valued, her heart not made of wood..
She'll sit and watch the candle, til the flame no longer burns..
and thinks of golden yesterdays, and every day she learns..
there's lessons taught in each and every gesture that we make..
in every person, place, or thing..the ones that we forsake..
Her name is Hope..she lives inside us all, if we should look..
A penny and a candle, just think..that's all it took.

If I fell off of the earth,
Would anyone really know?
Most likely not,
Since no one watched me go.
They see my pain,
And turn their heads.
Why do they leave?
My heart's not dead.
Life is busy for them,
When I'm in need,
I'd be there for them,
But no one is here for me.
I'm in second place,
Probably even third,
The space that is between us,
Silences my every word.
And living life right beside me,
Is nothing but empty space,
The seconds turn to hours,
As life slows its pace.
With no one for me,
I am utterly alone,
And with each passing day,
It's harder to go on.

Before I met you my day was unfufilling
The sun would not shine
The wind blew cold and bitter breezes
The sky was cloudy, and rumbled with anger
At night the stars wouldn't shine
The moon was never full
I would never smile
Tears would fall from my eyes
My emotions were nothing but anger and bitterness
And then one day you stepped in and then....
The sun began to shine and its warmth began to dry my tears
The cloudy sky began to drift away 
And a beautiful blue sky began to show
At night...
All the stars shone bright, like crystal reflecting off the sun
Looking at them in amazement, my face began to smile 
The moon became full...
Feeling my soul and turning my emotions into love and happiness
It was no miracle or luck, that you stepped into my life
It was that, even though your world was so bright and amazing,
when you saw me it wasn't that you felt sorry for me
It was that when you saw my world you didn't see what it was
But you saw what it could be

13

it's been a while since i've felt this way
it's been a while since i've let myself shine thru to a new person
it's been so long since i've felt arms around me

you told me you weren't sure about your feelings
but we danced
(it's been so very long since i've danced)
and we swung and we dipped and we laughed
we sat together, comfortable
your hand in mine, silently enjoying each other

you lay there on your big comfy couch
you alone with your thoughts, and me with mine
it felt so nice to be so close, 
to feel the warmth of your hand in mine
it felt so nice to feel the warmth of your heart in mine
i raised your hand to my lips, and i kissed it
you smiled without opening your eyes

and when i left your house that night
you said we must be friends
but i felt your arms
and i saw your eyes
and i heard your voice, 
...i heard the indecision in your voice

so i'll wait
i'll wait for the tone of your voice to change
i'll wait for your words to match your eyes
i'll wait until your words match your laughter
i'll wait,
and someday your words will say
... what your arms already know.

From the first time we shook hands,
It got me thinking,
I never knew such a creature existed.
With looks that are so mesmerizing,
With a touch, so wondering.
Her palm is as soft as cotton,
Her skin, as smooth as silk.
But at least, now, at this point in time,
I can confirm one thing,
Nothing is as sweet as you.
