POETRY: I'LL ALWAYS NEED YOU

With one love still strong
And two special people sharing it,
The couple gaze at the starry night.
Silenced by the moment,
Reaching for a kiss,
Tasting her sweet lips,
Gently pulling her closer,
And making it last,
Touches her soft hair,
Putting his arms around her,
Comforting her with his warm touch,
Gasps,
Breathes,
Longs for,
And even though she must go,
She stays.

Her arm
Reaches for him and pulls him near,
Wanting,
Needing,
Caring,
Sharing,
Coveting,
Loving,
Takes a breath,
Until she can stay no longer
And then
And then
And then,
Just as she reaches her door,
Holds her near for one last time.

Beauty travels so much farther,
Than only a layer of skin.
I see glimpses of the person inside you,
And love you for that's within.

Your eyes are so bright and lively,
Your smile so innocent and true.
But it's the emotional connection between us,
That's always brought me back to you.

Whether sitting together beneath the stars,
Or talking Till the wee hours of the morn...
I felt a closeness grow between us,
Something very special about to be born.

they say it's the lovers moon
so pitted and scarred, covered in gauzy veils
its light wafting softly down to lone and quiet surf
wind gentle and comforting brushing caressing skin
of she who stands and drinks of night's sweet mist
arms open, raised, accepting this treasure
peace and tranquility mixed so with none to share
with this thought the breeze turns cool
but no less welcome for she has seen him
he watches endless, night no longer alone for him
her beauty to all else will pale should he ever look away
inside so stuffy warm, so to cool outside, to here
where he sat at peace with life so full
enjoying the beauty of this night
till she topped the rise
his heart did stop and when started again his life so empty
his heart already lost untill she looked at him
in one glance both did know
so neither in hurry, both comforted
by the presence of the other
they settled to enjoy this wondrous night
separated by distance yet souls entwined
they say it's the lover's moon

I'll always need you,
Your love, your kindness, your smile.
One look from you can turn black into bright colours,
Dark clouds into a sunny day,
in my mind.

What do people see when they see us?
do they actually understand?
or do they only half understand and pretend to know the rest?
I don't think anyone can understand our feelings,
or atleast know the extent of our love.

A love that I can feel and follows me for my own comfort,
Even when you aren't around i can feel you with me.
For you are the one love of my life,
my heart has never felt like it does with you before,
and I can't live without your love,
I'll always need you.

I carry my love inside this box, waiting to be set free.

Many days there have been knocks; but I hold close the key.

I will not throw my love away, to any chance that comes my way.

What is love? I ask you this; is it just a game to play?

Does it start with a hug and kiss or birds and bees in May?

Don't flutter your love beyond your dreams.

Guard your heart although crazy it seems.

I like to dream about how it will be...

She'll look into my eyes, and I will say:

It's time for my heart to be set free;

I've waited and waited for this day.

Here is my box, and here is my key.

Here is my heart, now let it be.

My lady's presence makes the roses red
Your very presence leaves my breath hanging by a thread
My lady's voice makes the sky blue
Your soft voice has gotten me constantly thinking of you
My lady's smile makes the grass green
Your cheerful smile is the most beautiful sight I had ever seen
I love my lady more than all the stars in the galaxy- times seven
My lady's precious heart is my little slice of Heaven

Reunion of togetherness for all time.
So happy, so thrillingly inspired from your everything.
The metaphors of life are what make light and mystery.

The moon as lovely as a pearl, the sky like velvet.
Jupiter's color of swirls are like the waves of the sea.
And the starry night is compared to diamonds and gemstones.

But to me, they are the glistening of your eyes.
So beautifully written in words,
So artistically painted in your portrait.


So immensely felt in the words of a song,
Going forever as a heartbeat.
You've won me over forever!

Wherever you go, I will always follow.
Your wants are my concern.
Say it and it's done for you.

You're my secret heart all over.
My crush inside out.
I will stand by you when no one else will.

I would do anything for you
To make you smile.
Happiness is your face.

In the moonlit night,
the stars my only witnesses
I make a vow never to be broken.
From the bottom of my heart,
its depth and breadth,
as i live this earth...
until the oceans are stationed,
and the stars have fallen to the ground,
and waters run dry,
and the sun brings no light,
and life is extinct,
I will love you forever,
be here and care for you,
never leave you blue,
always be by your side,
to protect and guide you,
cherish and honor you,
forever and eternity,
This I promise you.

The day I found love was no ordinary day.
For you see, I had love all along.

The day I found love, I realized that,
you were here... and he was gone.

My heart was beating fast and all
All I could think was... "will it last?".

That's when I saw you really cared,
but I was scared, and my heart asked...
"do you dare?"
and I replied, "Yes"!

That's the day, I found love

I gave you a treasure map
This treasure map you now possess.
You do not see? 'Tis there!
I tucked it in your pocket
When my soul to you I bared.

That map is such a curious thing,
The paper old and grey,
And yet, the writing clear and fresh
As if penned but yesterday.

Look close, you'll see some older marks
The lines are faint and dim
As if the thing was washed and wrung
And left twisting in the wind.

Should all the world be sent to search
For the treasure so described,
Not one would find a single prize
Though they search the whole world wide

For this treasure map is... to my heart
The prize... our love secured.
Its directions marked with loving care
To ensure our love endures.

What did I do wrong,
That you had to hurt me strong?
Is it just a need,
For you to know my heart can bleed?

Was it hard to
Say "I love you,"
When you don?t really care?

Was it fun to
Drive me crazy,
And see how much I'll dare?

Did you wish
To play my heart,
Until it falls apart?

All these things
You did to me,
Put me in a misery.

I pray for it
To go away,
But this feeling came to stay.

I don?t have anything else to say,
But to tell you that
My life will never be OK.

So please
Don?t hurt me anymore,
Cause of this pain I can?t take more.

Can you keep pretending you are someone else
Or will your lie show through tonight?
Through the hurt and anger
And through you.

You look at me with your beautiful eyes
Yet your eyes aren't here.
You should be looking at me
You should tell me how much I mean to you.

As the words start to come off the screen
I begin to cry.
I never thought hurt could cut like this
Into the darkest parts of my heart.

I feel as though lead has been poured down my throat
I can't talk, can't do anything
Except scream at the motionless lump in front of me.
I wish you were here.

I wish you hadn't lied when you said you'd be here forever
I wish you'd never pulled me in to you.
I can't stop thinking about you, even now
Even six months later, I dream of you.

Everyone tells me to move on
How can I move on
With you still here?
Obviously they've never burned for anyone

Watch me how I sit and wait
Patiently and quietly and practiced
As if I am not there, but I am here.
For some reason I always will be here for you.

If I were to tell you today
That my life were coming to its end
What would you do differently?

Would you...
Ask me about my dreams and wishes?
Take time to give precious hugs and kisses?
Surprise me with romantic thoughts?
Bring me CD you just bought?
Take me away to secret places?
Make me laugh with silly faces?

Would you...
Get to know me better?
Pour out your heart and bear your soul?
Tell me how I make you whole?
Do things with me that are fun?
Make me feel like I'm "the one?"

Or would you...
Love me more with all your heart?
Tell me we'll try never to part?
Dry my tears when I am sad?
Calm me down if I got mad?
Snuggle with me, hold my hand?


I am not dying right away
But bit by bit from day to day.
These things I mentioned we should do,
I'll start today and you can too.
Because we will not live forever
And the time we spend together
Should be reflective to each other
That we deeply care for one another.
