POETRY: FROM A LOVE WITHIN

She of raven hair
and darkened eyes
hides a yearning
in her framed soul
She always longs to feel
from a love within
As she goes on
the day travailing
diminutive she is
only in stature
for her heart
mind and soul,
wanton. to consume,
absorb, engulf,
love and life
she has wings
when no one notices
takes flight
if just for a moment
feeling the rush of air
gliding effortlesly
a voice brings her back...
with a smile
for that instant
she was free.

Come spend, my love,
with me, this day
while warm, soft breezes
gently play.
With meadowlarks
in joyous mood,
as young fawns
browse in dappled wood.

The earth fills out
to Nature's touch -
with greens and browns
and greys and such.
When all the world seems
brightly gay;
Come spend, my love,
with me, this day.

When I was born,
I was looking for you;
When I was in the lunchroom
in elementary school,
I was looking for you;
My first kiss,
looking for you;

When I cry because I am alone,
I am looking for you;
When I wake up from slumber
I am looking for you;
My feet are killing me,
looking for you;

I thought you'd never come,
thought you would not show;
I had almost given up,
I had almost lost hope;

When I found you,
I didn't recognize you;
You seem so familiar.
Don't I know that smile?
Wait, I've heard that voice before.
Yes, I'm sure I have;

When I see your smile,
I look into your eyes;
When I hear your laugh,
I smile inside;
And I know,
Without a doubt;

I found you,
Finally;
I found you.

Fate...
The time and place where eternity
brings the love of a life time.

A place where all your thoughts and worries
disappear into the misty air.

Where your whole mind and body
feel a completness has rushed over
and made you into a whole person.
...Fate.

Plenty of pleasing play her frolic scream,
Her gleaming face plush ripe for eyes aglow,
Was she in my lost mind silly loves dream,
Her naked sleeping hot form laying low,
Her dotingly fresh smile lush vibrant gleam,
Red like the flameing fire of cupids bow,
Arrow loft reaching spike, flood bleeding strike,
Love cries her lifeless hot form I dislike

Lift me up and let me fly
high into the clear blue sky
let me spread my wings and soar
flying high through that open door
my soul is free
no more pain or misery
my soul is above
happy and filled with love
above the trees looking down at me
i can clearly see that
my soul is FREE.

And he spoke through the furrows of death……. ‘come , come and I shall grant ye freedom from the insanities of the world ’.

His voice was so luring that man crumpled like a weakling and followed the foreboding voice
of death to the endless whirlpools of time and space..…...

Lost forever……... intermingling with the soul of the universe to become one with the abyss and chasm , of nothingness and hollowness…….. eating savagely at the power of heart and mind .

Then nothing around mattered as space suddenly contracts , into a minute particle of sorrow , and man accepted it as his fate to end up in this black- hole , as his reprimand for committing the unforgivable sin of living .

Living for oneself . Drinking from the biggest and most powerful elixir of life . The feeling of being alive , being full , being content .

To experience what elation is .

To live…….

To finally die for indulging in life .

For committing the ever so contemptuous sin of smiling .

And so man , over ages and centuries lives to see the light of day only to be , ironically, tortured mercilessly at the unforgiving hands of man himself ……. In a single snap of a twig , motion of a wave , flicker of an eyelid….. one single second of an elation precedes an endless era of trauma ……….. pain and finally death

I am so enamoured by your smile.
What is it that you do to me,
that I can't even look in your eyes?
Maybe I am in fear of you,
looking through the depths of my soul,
and that I would reveal all this passion
I have bottled inside for you.

I act so dumbfounded as you walk through the door,
my tongue gets tied and my vocal chords knot up.
I become weak at the knees,
and flabbergasted with excitement.

Oh, how I wish you knew what you did to me.
Maybe my nights wouldn't be so restless,
and maybe my days wouldn't be so intense.

Tears streamed in the eyes that see love
Can't let go of the arms that hold true love
I wanna feel the moments of forever
With only you and me together...

Let these moments linger a little longer
Let them make memories to live forever
Please let these sweet memories of you and me
Be our love's undying legacy...

Time will pass and everything will fade
Like when our bodies, in the Earth's bed be laid
But the memories that once flourished
Will never fade or even perish.

Let this love's undying legacy
Bring back the sweet memories of you and me...
Memories of undying moments I share with you
Memories of timeless love we have shared too...

If I could hold you forever,
until the stars fall from the sky...
I would.

If I could be with you for eternity
and hold on to dreams that would never die...
I would.

If I could fall asleep with you every night,
while counting angels that watch over our lives...
I would.

We'd run away inside ourselves
A place for you and me
Drown inside an ocean so deep
Choking on feelings, dying a death so sweet.

If I could linger on moments
the sweetest times of our lives...
I would.

If I could feel your soft lips on mine,
your body against me as you gently make me cry...
I would.

I'd run away with you while the world sleeps,
and I'd let you take me places I've never even dreamed.

If I could feel this way forever
until the stars fall far from the sky,
then believe me when I say this...
I would.

My heart,
It breaks like glass
It rips like paper;
It has feelings of its own
For a girl unknown.

It moans and groans
It has an ache;
This pain... not fake
For a girl unknown.

It burns and burns
It sings its own song
With the sweetest melody,
Of a girl unknown

It gives and gives
Till it has no more;
It gives 'till its born,
To a girl unknown
