POETRY: IN THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT

I have fears you might be snatched from me
     Before your promise of love can be fulfilled
Before well-conceived thoughts become real
     I fear your love will cease to be
When I gaze in your eyes I read the signs;
     Symbols of sweet romance are clearly there
My mind assures my feelings are true
     Magical reflections of chances I used to have
The nothingness of life, a passing shadow I see
     As fear and shame to oblivion do perish
My mind never played tricks on me;
     Would you promise to stay with me?
How I wish peace could be established in me
     When you tell me your love is true
Assure me to put my mind at rest
     Assurance of love I need from you

Grow and glow, dear heart
as radiantly as the scented blossoms
in the basking summer rays.
Share and empathize, dear heart
as miraculously as sweet memories nurture your growth
and mighty as the love
that binds emotions and desires.
Vanquish existing hatred, dear heart
unworthy of divine devotion.
Be zealous and valiant in your touch
calming and gently soothing wounded souls
as zestfully as the shadowy candle flames
that once intrigues the sensuous pleasures

Lost from the land of shadows
A ghost lies quietly in my heart
She slowly melts into my blood
While embracing me with my love
Taking away all my fear
Taking away all my tears

I hold her gently with my longing soul
Upon the arrival of every heartbeat
Crossing a flow of breath taking moments

The dark night watches over us
As she leans silently into me
With a kiss to my soul
And a touch of pure passion
The dark night shows us the path
Down the bright stream of stars
To where love would gather us forever
In a great secret garden of heaven
Somewhere heavens away

The light of midnight sparkles in her eyes
leading to the long path of her love
somewhere deep within me

A note, a word,
something touching,
a kiss on soft shoulders,
fragile rain falling,
starlit nights,
all memories ready to make.

A voice, a sound,
there's a beating inside my heart,
the soul takes wing
into the sun, burning,
turning my life into
that endless circle.

Can you imagine
my eyes, my lips,
the days and nights
spent tripping over the moon,
destiny waits and calls,
a lifetime swirls overhead.

Ice and fire,
time and not enough time,
exciting things lifting us up,
wings to fly into that mist,
take my hand, take my life,
pick up the puzzle,
put us together,
two lost entities welcoming
and waiting to be
wind blown into legend

I give you this token of love.
I bring an eternal sacrifice,
   more precious than diamonds,
   more valuable than silver and gold.
For all you did and always will do,
   for eternity assured in the
   paradise of your embrace,
   I make this covenant of trust,
   a promise of a lifetime.
I remember the wonders,
   how you redeemed my faded hope
   and strengthened my weakened faith.
I cherish those words,
   the message of joy
   that soared my confidence
   to the highest peak.
I appreciate those candid feelings,
   those impressionable looks
   that captivate the mind,
   and transcend every imagination;
   those true emotions that can never be
   uttered in words.
My jewel of hope,
   you're tested, tried and true;
   I'm grateful for the smile
   you put on my face, and the
   love songs you plant on my lips.

Years later...
This heart of mine
Still whispers your name
And cherishes memories
Of times long past.

My arms...
Though you be miles gone,
Still ache to hold you.
Drawing you close
Till our hearts become one.

These lips...
Still have the taste
Of yours melding with mine
Trembling in anticipation
When our bodies will wed.

Today...having found you again
I once more feel complete
And my heart soars
At the possibility
That you and I, to each other
              will return.

I am in an ever swirling whirlwind of confusion
My mind swims the channels beyond myself
Feeling lost I try to swim for shore
I'm too forgone now to make it back

Standing in the sand
Her eyes pierce my memory
Those emerald blankets that wrap me up
I am safe there
I am safe there
We are safe there

Like a ship I feel I've been blown off course
I'm heading for the rocks
The headwind works against me
I await the beautiful crash

It all comes so quickly
I awaken with her there beside me
Drowning in my contentment
I no longer fear the water

I stare into your eyes, seeing my reflection,
But it seems so unreal.
If the eyes are the window to the soul,
How can my image appear?

Our love is like birds in the sky
Flying high to unimaginable heights
With winds of joy blowing up our minds
We're heading to the station identification

Our love is like fishes in the ocean
Growing deeper than the mind could conceive
With wings we'll swim to desired destinations
To celebrate eternity with merry dancing

Our love is like candlelight in the dark
Shining bright to lighten up our lives
Deep reasons for love in our eyes
Sparkling with the love from our hearts

Our love is like Romeo and Juliet
Undying love that defies all barriers
Forever we'll remain united as one
And fulfill every desire of our hearts


10

Being with you redefines the meaning of love
Adventure, Romance, Fantasy, Pleasure
Never to end, daring ourselves to keep going
Over and over again, now until forever
Secretly wanting, capturing each others hearts
Only to last for a lifetime

Taking each and every moment, thinking of it as a treasure
Every word that is spoken
Loving, Caring, Tender, True
Demands the love we have for each other
Everlasting love, reminding us of the future
together... foreve

When sunlight turns to darkness
When all is calm
When all is quiet
When all is at peace
My Silent night is with you

Thoughts of YOU lying next to me
In the silence of the night
Every breath that you take
I listen to knowing
Each breath that you take
Your soul burns just like mine

Laying down my head upon your chest
Every beat of your heart
Passion of a love burns inside
Beats the same song of love
Just like mine in rhythm
Never missing a beat

Wrapping my arms around you
Touching your skin
Holding you close to me
I snuggle closer and closer
Your warmth I wish to feel

A tear rolls down my cheek
Falling to touch your skin
I wonder if you can feel the love
That just touched your skin

In your dream tonight
Do you know and feel this love?
Do you know what you really mean to me?
My silent night with YOU
Forever and beyond

The clock was winding down
The day was at an end
It was time to say good-bye
The sun was gone; the moon was out
And stars filled the sky
We stood there talking, prolonging the moment
Trying to make it last
For each moment we spent apart from each other
Was a moment stolen by the past
I looked at her; she looked at me
And we held each other tight
A farewell hug to show our love
Was comforting in the night
I started to pull back; she whispered, "No"
And held me tighter still
I held her close, and kissed her ear
And my heart began to fill
For the simple act of letting go
Became a chore we couldn't face
In that moment, I knew we'd last forever
Simply because we embraced
