POETRY: YOUR LOVE HAS TAKEN ME LIKE A CURSE

Do you think of me
Before you close your eyes at night?

Do you think of me
At dawn's breaking light?

Do you think of me
When you're driving to work each day?
Do you think of us finding our way?

Do you think of me
On a beautiful sunny day?
Do you think about what I would say?

Do you think of me
When you're all alone?
Do you find yourself looking at the phone?

Do you think of me
When you touch your lips?

Do you think of me
When you're arms are free?
Do you think about holding me?

Do you think of me
When you're feeling sad?
Do you think of us together and being glad?

Do you think of me
And feel love inside your heart?
Do you think of me, well that's a start.

a know, love is like a lava lamp trapped in an airless glass jar
and powered by a burning light bulb
it comes in all different shapes and colors
and you can turn it on and off whenever you feel like it

inside, when it's off, it's just a cold lump of mass
it's not alive and moving
but when you turn it on, it's an amazing sight
It goes up and down and changes into different shapes

as it heats up, at first, it's broken apart into lil bitty pieces
As it stays on, it gets warmer and the pieces form together
If you leave it on long enough,
it forms into one big glob of beautifully colored moving liquid

but when you turn it off,
it stars to cool
and the pices form into a cold mass once again,
...lifeless

Touch me with your eyes,
Caress me with your look,
Let this love be written,
In Cupid's golden book.

Taunt me with your smile,
And words of tenderness,
Diminish all my fears,
And cure my loneliness.

Grasp my heart of passion,
Heal the scars old loves have left,
Kill the doubt I've kept hidden,
Tame this quickened breath.

Don?t abuse this love I'm giving,
It's a treasure few have found,
Yours to me will be more precious,
Than jewels set in a crown.

This gift of love I offer,
Possesses all I call mine,
Be careful with your commitment,
Forever is a long, long time.

The night I bend down on one knee
   in the islands of love,
will be the night when we're at sea
   and in the sky's above.
You are the only thing on my mind
   when I wake up and when I sleep.
Our two hearts must really bind,
   for the love that we have, we both keep.
So when I say I love you,
   I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
You and I as a two,
   nothing can ever pull us apart.   
We have a lot of love that we share,
   that makes our relationship so strong.
I know how much you really care
   or else we wouldn't be together for this long.
I would like to be with you til the day I die,
   forever in love;
to promise to never cheat or lie,
and to be in perfect love.

Look inside my soul
tell me, what do you see?
Am I there next to you?
are we living in a dream?

Do your arms reach out
to hold me tight?
When I look into you eyes
everythig will be alright.

Do the memories of me
invade you thoughts?
Do you begin to smile
at our silly little talks?

Your smile is like the sun
it shines through my darkest day.
I know because of fate
we will soon find our ways.

You voice is so sweet
it calms my fears.
But only for a moment
my love knows you're not near.

The speech you made so clear
opens up my mind.
You bring me to a place
where love isn't hard to find.

You bring me to a place
with the innocence of my youth.
where it is so hard
to find out about the truth.

My lips just can't speak the words
to tell you how much I miss you.
My heart will not find the feelings
to show you how much I care.

As I just look and stare
at the sky so blue.
I can hear your voice
so sweet, so true.

My lips now find the words
to tell you how much I miss you.
My eyes weep the tears of fear.
And I ask myself....

"Who is going to love me now?"
as the tear drops fall
and as I silently call
your name... so true.

My eyes weep the tears of leaving you
The pain of again saying "Good-Bye and I love you!"

Look into my eyes.
Tour the darkness
that lingers deep inside.
Look a little further
if you have the strength.
Look at the person inside me.
He's lived but a short length.
Look into my eyes and see
the pain I have felt
see the memories I have made.
Once you get to my soul
take a look around
all you see is black.
-Turn around-
head up to my heart
Once you get there
you'll see where
the real me starts.

You are my Vision.  You are my Life.
Give me all of you, To heal my strife.
I want to be with you each and every day,
Till Death do us part, I surely hope we'll stay.
Even though I'll be leaving soon,
No need not to carry on,
I want to be with you, our love is so strong.
If my going makes us break away,
I guess our love wasn't meant to stay.
Oh, how I hope to have you in my life,
Now and forever, I hope you'll be my wife.
I know it's a long wait, I'm patient and willing,
As long as I'm with you, I'll never lose these feelings.
If you decide not to be with me,
I have no choice but to carry on.
I love you from deep down inside,
All I want is you by my side.
If you can't, I guess it's too much too ask,
Please be here with me, to help me through this task.
I'll be here for you, through better or worse,
Through thick and through thin,
My love for you runs deep beneath the skin.
Please be with me through the years,
If we part, the only thing I'll see will be tears.
I don't want that to happen, I love you so much,
It's so hard to explain,
I love you more and more, each and every day.
These words out of my mind are only meant for you,
No one else can make me feel the way you do.
I love you, I love you, I love you, with all of my heart,
Maybe this love will be the start.
The start of a life together,
Even for eternity,
We shall never part.

When I miss you,
I think of what to do.
I close my eyes and picture you near,
Oh, how I can feel you and see you so clear.

You are standing before me,
This is what I see.
You reach for me and take me in your hold,
Oh how you make me warm, when I'm so cold.

Sometimes, I feel you so deep inside,
My feelings I can't hide
I must tell you something else I see,
I really truly honestly believe we were meant to be.

Because when I first saw you
Something felt so right and true.
I can't explain it, no words can describe
Everyday that passes, I'm mesmerized.

When I miss you,
The feelings are so true.
One more thing before I go,
Something else I want you to know,

When I miss you, I miss you near,
I miss you far,
I miss you holding me, as you do,
And most importantly, I love you.

Our souls, they mesh,
Like the oceans into the sands.
Grains of pebbles formed to one
By water in our hands.

Fathomless depths, emotion
The swirling tumultuous blue
The ocean, her secrets beautiful,
But we, we have ours too.

The waves so light, into the rocks
And upon the sands they fall
Oh, to see the reflection of the clouds,
And to hear the dolphins call.

They are the reflection of my dreams,
And the song within my mind.
The shells on the sands are memories,
And I yearn for more to find.

So deep goes the sands,
Into the oceans core,
The depths we share together,
So much longer than the shore.

Miles along, my bare feet trod,
Amidst the rocks and shells,
My heart, as the gulls, soars high,
In the music of passing whales.

See how the sands float out on the ocean,
Our souls, they in like combine,
As parts of the ocean stay within the sand,
Traces of ourselves we leave behind.

Our souls are like the oceans and sands,
Even as far in the distance as I can see,
But our souls they have known each other longer,
Through the winding paths of eternity.

he way you loved me
Comfort to my soul
Peaches from a tree

The way you loved me
Kisses on the lips
You set my soul free

The way you loved me
Tears dried by your touch
Forever your's I'll always be

Cuz the only thing that will  make me happy
Is the way that you loved me


11


The warm fragrance of your skin,
heats my blood far within.
  Boiling my veins with hand.
My heart is filled with desire.
  Burning my body to the land.
Each thought of you adds to the fire.
  From your fingers flames glow.
They burn fierce as they grow.
  But before long the torch will suffocate.
What happens then is left up to fate.
  Though I know one thing to be true.
After it dies I will still love you.



12


Once I fell so deep in love
I couln't see the heavens above
I fell so deep I couldn't sleep
Until I expreesed my undying love
So here it is in this one short verse
Your love has taken to me like a curse
I don't know how
I don't know why
I just love the way it makes me feel inside


13

We lay upon the midnight moon
Whispering secrets as our passions bloom.
As the cool breeze carries your scent across the land
I stare into your eyes.

As gentle kisses flutter your hand
Our heart beats echoes in rhythm's demand
While love sounds out like an orchestra of romance.
Your soft body melts into me
Creating twin thoughts.

Your fragrance like flowers.
Your beauty well sought.
The moan that's released for once...
A thousand times before.
You say this night forever,
And I forever more.


14


It pours out of me,
these feelings so confusing,
like a child not able to understand
why anyone could be so cruel.

I stand and I fall
alone
waiting for the one
who will hold out their hand

and raise a fallen one
who needs to be lifted back into the light.

Help me out of my blindness,
let me be vunerable
and show me the way
which I have lost.

I need to find the place
where I can be safe,
will you be the one,
are you the one?

One touch to my cheek,
one kiss to my lips,
as my eyes close in trust,
and I will know,

let it be you,
I want it to be you
who will show me
how to love again and

never let me go.



15


My love, can you hear me
softly saying your name in the night?
Can you feel the heartache I feel
without you in my arms?
Only the cool air holds me now.
Alone in the darkness, I lie and wonder.
Your fragrance and form, shadows in my mind.
Only the illumination of a fire
still burns in my heart for you.
I try to comprehend you leaving,
grasping for reasons you did not speak.
Feeling the pain when doors closed,
missing you beside me when I wake,
your angelic face almost hidden from view.
Feeling your gentle touch
reaching for me in your dreams,
the glimpse of your smile in the moonlit night.
I now find myself reaching for you...
feeling the coldness that has taken your place
and an empty place resides in me now.
My love, can you hear me?
Nothing will ever fill the void left by you,
only you!



16


It feels like forever since time has passed
The seconds seem to mean nothing to me anymore
All I care about is having you here by my side

Your warmth places a sudden chill through my body
A longing chill that contains neither any coldness nor desolation
Everything that was once capable of holding onto my happiness escapes
Releasing every drop of ecstasy I had inside

Bringing me to shed a million tears of glee and one smile
I feel your presence inside of me, so warm and innocent
Holding onto you, it?s hard to tell if I?ll let go
Only because, mi amore, my arms are imprisoned around you

I am too weak to slip them away, for they are chained tightly together
Chained, by my own chains of love
The love that I still have for you that blossoms every second
Even in the winter; it is too strong to just wither away

Not even the rays of summer can weaken my love
How can the chains of love tighten anymore
They could break and fall apart into pieces
But they continue to strengthen

With every sample of love you give me each day
The only weakness is that I care too much
Care too deeply for the fact that one day they might break
I look up to you for support

And your eyes tell me everything
They give me the hope I need to believe
Believe that these chains would never break free
The temptation from my swelling of holding onto these chains

This sensation is slowly overwhelming
So, please, take me away from this struggle
And give me one last kiss goodnight
Your love will soothe my endless dreams

As your soul will stay locked up by my chains
My chains that hold onto my love, for you



17

my love for you
it is like the stars
that never seem to run out
you can think you have seen them all but
when you think that you seem to see more
that is like my love for you
it will never end; we have been
this proves in a small way
that my love for you is
eternal



18

On the winds of time I have been searching..
On the winds of time ..all alone..
On the winds of time....passing lovers...
never  meant to be my own.
Do you know the passings of heart break...
To try and try again...
Do you feel the pain of believeing...
only to remember the helplesness again

On the winds of time... no more searching
On the winds of time... me.. I know..
On the winds of time... passing though
the changes...with the years of learned
wisdom I will go...
To understand the reason for living
For love to come and go...
To cherish each as a treasured season
On the winds of time... only time will know

earth,wind,and fire, you are my heart's desire
when thinking of you, nothing's ever the same
the way you make passionate words roll off my lips
is something no other can do
my heart swims when you're away
and on those days, i pray that youll be back soon
because i love the way you make me feel
the electricity you send down my spine
thoughts of you undo all things unpleasant
it's the way you make me feel
you make my heart wilder and wilder
with each and every touch
i wait for your embrace
for nothing compares to the way you make me feel....
