POETRY: HOME WITH YOU

...I loved your house.

The colours and frames walked out of the recesses of my mind,
from you.

No longer surprised about discovering familiar postcard pictures,
of you.

Yet, warmly comforted in my long journey home,
to you.

I will be happy,
home
...with you.

When I think of you
my heart wants to burst
like the sun
from the gladness
you have brought into my life
for my thoughts of you--
the radiance of your smile,
your gentle voice,
the warmth of your touch--
fill my heart wholly
with an abundance of love.

And, I want you to know
how sincere I am
in saying, "I love you"
and how happy I am
that you are a part of my life--
I will always love you
You will always be my sunshine--
And no matter where you are
in your life
You will always
be a part of mine.

Have you ever loved someone
so much that it makes you cry
Have you ever needed something
so bad it makes you stay up late at night...
Have you ever thought you found the one,
but end up it just wasn't meant to be,
and your heart just breaks.
Have you ever wondered how life
would be without that one person.
The one who makes you laugh
and always puts a smile on your face.
Have you ever wished you would have listened
and never got to meet that one person.
Have you ever met a woman who supposedly
says she cares, but never shows it.
The hardest thing in a relationship is falling for her,
but she's not there to catch you..........

Only for you have I:

Two eyes to see you
Two lips to kiss you
Two hands to touch you
Two arms to hold you
Two feet to walk with you
Two legs to stand beside you
and
One heart to always love you!

Two lips can meet in only a kiss
And only a kiss until two hearts meet
Only a kiss without feeling until two hearts are intertwined
What a feeling is produced could a human lip divine,
To be drawn into divinity is not only a kiss,
Not just body but also mind.
To not only be a kiss it is love one must find.
It is to describe a feeling without words,
To be propelled into an emotional world.
Not only a kiss for my love and I
But so much more than love can provide.

I guess you could describe me as a rose.
A rose that you picked from a garden of billions of others.
Me, why me? From all the others, you picked me.
You carefully picked me from my enviornment and took me as yours.

Just like a rose, I am very delicate.
My stem, my soul, the flame inside of me.
Petals, my feelings which can be ruined due to feelings of sorrow.
Don't damage too many, for my heart lies in the center.
It rests in your hands, for you to nurture.
It's yours and yours only. Forever for you to keep.

How this rose survives is up to you
You gave this rose all of your love and in return, it is perfect.
But not everything is perfect.
Look closely and you'll see that I'm not perfect.
As you look, some of my petals are damaged.
My stem is growing weak.

Place me in water, magical water.
Magical because it contains your love.
Love me the way you once did,
A soul kept alive by only your love.
Perfect petals who had never been hurt.
And a heart that you took over and claimed as yours.
Surround me with your love and make me the beautiful flower I once was.

Love gives without receiving,
It understands with no explanations,
It forgives the worst mistakes,
And has no obligations.

Love's purpose is to capture smiles,
To stop the hurt and find its way.
There are no limits when your heart is loving,
You'll find it's true, day after day.

It's like a rose that dies in winter,
But starts to grow soon after rain,
Just like a puzzleword with missing pieces,
Strong enough to cause you pain.

Love sees more than happiness,
When you fall in love, you know it's true.
Love touches, breathes, and lives...
All I feel inside for you.

Unpredictable in Spirit,
Pure in Essence,
Exquisite in Delicacy,
Hiding in Emotions.

Gentle to Touch,
Engaging to Hear,
Scented to Perfection,
Pleasing Everyone Else.

Avoiding mixed Passions,
Causing countless Regrets.
Needing kind Assurance,
Wanting to believe It's Worthy.

Living beyond Potential,
Chosen from the Garden of Life,
One day blooming into
Something Special

Meeting you is one of the greatest things
that has happened to me.
You?ve shown me what it feels like
to really be loved.
You make me feel so special,
and like someone really does care.
I can't remember ever feeling like this before.
When I talk to you,
I fall deeper into you,
and when I think of you,
I can't do anything other than smile.
I look forward to talking with you every day.
You are always there to listen when I cry,
and give me a good laugh when I need one.
I want to thank you for everything you have done,
and for making me feel so loved.
There is not a thing in the world
that could keep me from loving you,
no matter what it may be.
I love you with all my heart,
and I want to tell you what you really mean to me.
I LOVE YOU!!!

Before the creation of the world
Before the moon appeared in the sky
Before the creatures got their names
I have loved you deep in my heart

Long before the sun began to shine
Before the stars dazzled in the sky
Before the cloud covered the earth
I have dreamt of you day and night

Long before heavens were made
Before the earth brought forth its fruits
Your face I use to see in space
In the atmosphere where we embrace

Long before I came into this world
Just before I took my first breath
I called your name with the words of love
Before I spoke the language of the world

Long before the whole universe was born
Before man discovered everything else
Within my heart your love was found
My destiny I've chosen you for life

Some things are just too good to be true;
that's my every thought
after the day I met you and fell in love with you.

Some things are just too good to be true;
that's my every thought
while kissing and embracing you.

Some things are just too good to be true;
that's my every thought
after looking in your eyes,
then seeing my unborn children reflected on you.

Some things are just too good to be true;
that's my every thought
knowing that when I die, in heaven I will meet you,
and if I should die I would die knowing
that you love me almost as much as I love you.

Some things are just too good to be true;
that's my every thought
after realizing that your love for me
is genuine and true;
so that?s why you always hear me say,
Honey, I Will Always Love You.?

There are so many days
So many days where I wish I was with you
So many days I want to be holding you in my arms
Keeping you away from harm
So many days I want to kiss your sweet lips
All of these things I miss

There are so many days
Where I cry because we've had a fight
But I know we'll be ok by the end of the night
There are so many days
Where I realize how much I love you
And I also realize how much you love me too

There are so many days
Where I can't believe you're still with me
You deserve everything, and that's the way it should be
There are so many days
Where being with you is all I want to do
So many days that I say I LOVE YOU!!

A scared little girl, at night, waiting,
for the sun to rise, high in the sky.
But...
Do you remember?
The flowers in the Spring?
Roped forget-me-knots of love,
woven through with clovers, and weeds.
Fingers stained with mud, as well as grass,
tongues to the corners of cherub?s lips.
Diligent workers, they definitely were,
weaving fairy tales for daily get-a-ways.
Crowns fit for any and all royalty,
for a pretty princess in pink, and satin.
Shared thoughts, and stories throughout
long sunny filled days, forever saved.
Days in the life of never ending laughter,
torn asunder by my pain filled horrors.
But...
Do you remember?
The ice cream man's song?
Tinkling down cracked, paved roads,
sweet sounds, to the young one?s ear.
Cold confections, craved all day,
parents sporting empty pockets.
Feet bare of protection, scrambling,
legs aplenty, the neighborhood children.
A fight for first in line, to demand,
the polite, "Sir" from the back, wins.
Smooth vanilla smeared on grubby chins,
smiles aplenty, sporting chocolate as well.
Dancing with fireflies at night, a dream,
silent is the cold memory that follows.
But...
Do you remember?
The feeling of one?s first kiss?
Awkward teenagers grasping hands,
a lean to the right, then left, another miss.
Shallow breaths on a cold October night,
the cold metal of a bleacher underneath.
Hands roaming thighs, back, and face,
fingers tip a chin slowly upward, for the kill.
Lips touch, fire devours one's veins and body,
before the tongue reaches its long lost mate.
Shared passions locked, the night of "The" win,
a different game, but a touchdown all the same.
Patterns of happiness follow most people,
sweet sorrows I consume, on more than one occasion.
But...
Do you remember?
The feeling that love makes?
When that special someone stares into your eyes,
observing your thoughts, if not your very soul.
Days seem painful, dreary, and on-going,
until their smile holds you, just like their arms.
Where a touch can make you shudder, sigh,
as if life was coursing through you in waves.
You hear them utter those three simple words,
making you melt all over again, 50 years down the road.
Souls matched together like that game "Memory",
already flipped over, and paired for eternity.
A merciless cry I let out for all to encounter,
for a life this miserable isn?t worth living.
But...
Do you remember?
The happy memories I mentioned
Where you look back and smile fondly?
Your life included those sparkling thoughts aplenty;
Taking that short walk down its many lanes,
scents, laughter, and happiness bubbles forth.
On many occasions you recalled things,
to bring about a secret smile of longing.
Traveling to the back of your thoughts, searching,
picking, choosing certain clips of love to view.
Wondering how you got to be from there, to here,
life?s many journeys you muse over, constantly.
A lonely woman's meanderings through fantasies,
a ball of pain, and emptiness, she cries at night.
But...
Do you remember?
