POETRY: WHEN THE TIME COMES

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.

Love is like a trade,
and there are no take backs until one's love begins to fade.

You both trade a heart for a heart,
and you both promise not to tear the other apart.
And you trade a hand for a hand,
and promise not to let go for as long as you can.

With your hearts in other's hands like that,
it is scary on both ends b/c you don't know how the other will react.
You hope that they react with care, love, and understanding
And are not hateful or demanding.

You hope each and every day that they won't let go of you,
that way you don't have to let go of them too,
b/c your biggest secrets, and greatest fears,
are all wrapped up in their hand and if they let go...
down will fall your tears.

That is how love is just all a big chance that we take,
and hope that we don't get hurt for our own sake.
You do hope they always care,
but sorry to say love isn't usually that fair.
And, in most cases the promises aren't kept forever,
and if one decides to leave you can't stay together.

Love isn't perfect no matter how much you wish it would be,
it's just not like that right now...don't you see?
It isn't all about laughter and happiness,
it's also about crying and sadness.

But, everyone needs to go ahead and take the chance,
just so they can say that they've lived a life full of...
LOvE and RoManCe!

There is a light in the distance, 
As I stand on the beach 
with my feet sinking into the sand... 
I strain to see where the light is coming from. 
Is it the east or west? 
The night air is cool and crisp. 
As it dances across my face and plays with my hair, 
I feel a sense of relief. 
The ocean waves splash over my toes. 
I feel a sign of comfort. 
The light is fading and so is the warmth. 
The wind is now violently whipping my hair across my face 
and scaring my soft lit face. 
The ocean has now surrounded my ankles as it keeps rising. 
The light has gone along with my hope, 
that you will always... remember me.

I take a breath as she comes up to me.
Speechless...
She speaks and steals my breath away. 
Words from her lips are like music to my ears.
Oh, to taste her smile.

Eyes so blue, lost in the sea of tranquility.
How can I walk when I'm blinded with such beauty? 
How can I speak?
She looks at me waiting for me to respond.
Oh, those eyes, her voice.
Already I miss her voice, the music that played softly to my ears.

So I take a breath and try to speak.
To sing to her like the woman in front of me.
Speechless...
I can't for beauty breathes in her
As her words flow with grace.

So I stand and dream.
I take in the air she breathes.
Listening to her voice.
Staring in those eyes, so blue.
Have you ever seen true blue?
Have you ever seen blue so beautiful?

Oh, those eyes, her voice.
Already I miss her voice, music to my ears.
Soothing to the soul.
I'll listen and remain...
Speechless.

Our bodies lie together
Drained by the ultimate act of communion.
No bread and water jibe,
The temples in which we worship
Have no bones of long dead saints,
but living flesh.

You hands make no useless gestures in the air,
but perform perfectly.
Your lips recite the magical incantation,
As I respond.
My lips slaver at the altar of your clitoris
Giving tongue to the virtue of your naked form.

As we come together, the two are made one

In silent time the Earth spins and turns
Tightly bound to the Sun so bright;
Within its breast a love that burns
In endless darkness of the night.

Can you not see, do you not know
How like the Sun you are to me?
As Earth must Sun in Heaven follow,
Where you shall lead so must I be.

And none blocks my path to your side
Which nightly I again retrace;
No body can eclipse or hide
Your warmth or touch upon my face.

As stars (so loves) cannot conceal--
Your fiery kiss shall bid me rise,
And the day awaken to reveal
Once more your face before mine eyes.

Then caught in your immortal glare,
Held gentle in your warm embrace,
I only live, I only care,
To pull still nearer to your face.

For stronger yet than Newton force
Can turn two bodies and so align
Your inner path, my outer course,
That made you in conjunction mine.

And neverr a thousand, thousand years
Can Fate deny what God made one,
Nor bear away in flood of tears,
For you-- my love, for you, my Sun.

For, as Earth does the Sun revolve
Drawing light and warmth from its rays,
So I, in orbit round you, resolve
To love you ?til the end of days.

Today, just like every other day,
I thought of you
When I woke this morning I hoped I was dreaming
I was here
You were there
When I opened my eyes the room was sadly silent
and empty...

I have seen you throughout the day
I wished to kiss you and touch your face
But when I reached for you, 
you faded out of sight
Like the fog when you try to get close to it...

This afternoon I went for a walk
I thought about you and all the wonderful times we shared
I am so lucky to have you in my life...
To think about...
to dream about...
to look forward to seeing when the time comes...

Even though you're not here by my side every day
Even though the miles seem endless
The moments we share and my love for you are always in my heart
The nights may get cold...
My heart does get heavy...
My arms get so weak from the desire to hold you...

When the time comes for us to be together again
I feel as if I am in Heaven
And all the lonely nights are forgotten...
When the time comes.

Will your lips stay untouched with such beauty as this,
For how saddened my heart by our distance apart,
And each simple thought would beckon my kiss,
And each simple dream would summon my heart.

But I smile with the memory of your longing embrace,
And my joy went unfettered with your voice I perceive,
And your voice in an instant would signal your face,
Then your face in an instant? my love would receive.

Your eyes were the stars that at night would inspire,
My soul to but yearn for your lips sweetest touch,
And quenched by my love's overwhelming desire,
To whisper I love you? I love you so much.

And untouched were your lips but untouched nevermore,
As our passions engulf our souls to their depth,
On wings riding high will our ecstasy soar,
For our ecstasy soars and our ecstasy's kept.

So our lives have been perfect for souls such as ours,
And time won't diminish the love that we share,
And if ended the morrow by omnipotent powers,
Then the morrow had brought me? a beauty so rare

To love thee is to dance with the devil himself,
Unknowing of the destination,
Or even the consequence.

Yet to stop the dance
Is well near impossible,
For loving thee is something
I can not control.

You burn me with fiery passion,
Leave me breathless and tortured,
And I crave for more.

To love thee
Is to love all that is sinful,
But irresistable is the fragrance you wear,
So I shall love thee straight to Hell.

One Kiss,
Lips parted.
Breath abated.
Eyes closed.
The proximity is 
intoxicating.
Your scent,
a soft whisper
suspended in the air.
Passion exploding through
the realm of exaltation.
Rapture encompassing every
heartbeat.
Ultimately
LOVE
All of this from
One Kiss

Look over here, please, look this way.
There's nothing to be afraid of.

Yes, your image is now clear
Lying here, looking at my flesh and blood.
Unable to move, even with all my will.
Let me hear your voice for I have a heart to soothe.
Please help me, I will not go back.

Return, even if it means more pain.
Two offspring with more to learn,
I cannot help it, I love you so much.

Another chance, one more try,
I wish one more tear, another time to cry.

I close my eyes for the final time
Not knowing what to expect,
But hoping, they will be fine,
Watching them grow,
Nurturing them so
Just to leave them, with more years to go.

No more breath left in me,
No more blood through my heart,
I need you to hold close enough to see.
You will be okay, and soon forget the pain this has caused you
And the hurt in your heart will soon cease.

Please help me, return to the beginning where I came from,
My soul once again at rest.
I am not sure where I will go
Today, tomorrow, or the next day.
But when I wake up after it is all over
I will be there.
Our bond will never have a tear.

It allures her, 
drawing her deeper within it's rapture, 
So softly it caresses her eyelids, 
The blade of her bare shoulder it captures. 

Hypnotized by music, 
heard only from within the heart, 
It belonged to a legion of it's own 
right from the very start. 
Down the back of her neck and around to her ear, 
When delivered with love and true passion, 
nothing could be more dear.

Jubilant, Erotic, Mystical, 
going from fragile to extreme in a breath,
From breast to breast, down belly and thigh. 
It's lustful and sexy, 
it's very presence could make you cry. 

If the flame should ever burn out, 
you're sure to miss, 
A gift given from the gods, 
the sound of a kiss.
