POETRY: FOR ALL ETERNITY

Stars, they seem so far away
Whether you see them or not.
Always there night and day
Never are they forgot.

Always burning brightly
Morning, noon, and night.
Reminding of your face
Embracing the moonlight.

Just like me to you
There's no touch, no feel
But just like the starry skies
They remain powerful and still.

Year after year, burning hot, and true
And they have always been together.
Hopefully, just like me and you.

Sometimes the stars seem lonely.
Emptiness seems to fill the sky.
Even though we are both alone
Like us, the star will never die

The story of my life;
A book about love
which contains no chapters,
no writing.
And as this story is told,
it is the voice of a mute.
That is, until you came into my life,
filling every moment with a joyous,heart-warming, song.
A song of which makes my heart, soul,
and spirit swell with pleasure, elation,
and an almost surreal perfection.

Now as time has passed,
and our story has unfolded;
Each chapter coming to light,
day by day,
one experience after another,
only getting better,
with each experience unique in its' own special way.
As the stories reveal themselves;
my love for you deepens,
as does the want,desire,
and yearning for your touch and love.

Each chapter has meant the world to me.
I would not trade them for all the riches of man;
but hold them close to my heart.
Nor would I wish for future chapters to go unwritten.
I thank you for bringing light to my life.
And I want our story to go on forever,
never ending, never failing.
I love you,
Always and forever.

I  can't tell you how many times
your kisses have breathed life back into me,
how many times your kind words have saved me,

the sound of your voice
helped see me through dark places,
and your hugs squeezed life back into me.

The longer I love you, the longer I can't even imagine
how I ever got along without you.
I just wanted to say I love you so much.

I had no idea what to expect,
my insides bubbled with anticipation.
Many thoughts crossed my mind,
but no answer could I find.
My sweet, unexpected dreams
were seconds away from being a reality.

Through my eyes I saw a still darkness,
encompassed 'round about me.
The scent of the body before me
filled my nostrils and escalated through my body,
arousing every inch of my soul.

And just before we met in mid-air,
just before I lived my fantasy
I stopped, opened my eyes
and held her cheeks between my hands
and slowly brought her
closer to my body.

In that moment, in that stolen second-
that one solitary, irreplaceable instant...
We Kissed.

In the quiet depths of my heart beyond the shadows of my soul,
Lies a thought of you and your love that makes me whole,
And with this love you have for me,
You light up my life, like a candle you see?

When I am apart from you, the shadows come creeping near,
Because I don?t have you to hold on to, you're just not here.
But, I know in my heart you?ll come back to me, because
You light up my life, like a candle you see?

I could say I love you but that would not be enough,
Because I love you more than words and to say that is tough.
A million times of saying it, will never be enough for me, because
You light up my life, like a candle you see?

So I give you this candle, a symbol of a love I have for you.
Because when this candle is burning it shows a flame made for two.
So light up this candle in memorence of me, because
You light up my life, like this candle you see?

Thoughts of you are always running around in my head,
Replaying even the littlest things you've said.
Is this true, is this real, could this be love?
Every time I question it you're there to remind me
Its been destined from above.

Why is this so hard for me to believe?
How can you be so sure that you're the only one I'll ever need?
Why does the thought of loving you scare me so much?
Maybe it's because I know I will fall for you
At that very first touch.

Maybe I'm afraid I won't be all you hoped for and need,
What if it doesn't work out, who will be there to mend my heart
When it inevitably bleeds?
Is this chance worth breaking both of our hearts?
I'm afraid the sheer distance will tear us apart.

But if this is a risk that I never take,
I won't save my heart because in not having you, it would still break.
So I'm stuck, wondering the same things when this all began...
Having the same thoughts, wishing on the same stars,
And at last deciding to put my trust in fate...

And hoping when the day finally comes and we meet,
That it won't be too late.

Lost in the light of a silvery moon,
I feel hope floating down from afar.
Maybe my wish will be sent to me soon,
As I bathe in the wonder you are.
Trapped in this lifetime of troubles I know
Most things never turn out as planned.
Drawn and enchanted, I look from below
At a presence that few understand.

Lost in the light of a silvery moon,
As a magic upon me does shine.
A million love songs have sung to your tune,
Just maybe, the next one is mine.
I stand here tonight, as I share your delight,
Seeing beauty from darkness arise.
Forget not my heart as we once again part
And you slowly descend from the skies.

We meet, our hearts collide, given in to love's abandon.
Illustrious bodies sway and undulate in perfect cadence
to Pan's pipes and string-ed Lyre.
An episode, a passion play, to kindle one's desire.
Misogynistic metaphor, the sirens song evokes subtle in simplicity,
a wheel with silken spokes.  Come with me, my love, in softly gilded
light.  Beneath a lover's moon thou dost to me excite.
Another night of madness, my mind faint with delight.
I give to you, my love.  We, too, unto this night

Have you watched a flower
Drenched with the morning?s dew
Spreading its colorful petals
As I spread my arms around you?

Have you listened to the chirping of a bird
On a rainy day
And your heart throbs with love
As my soul pulsates with love for you?

Have you felt the warmth of loving
In the recesses of your heart
And in your veins
As I feel the flame of loving you?

Have you had sleepless nights
Wondering about me
Gazing at the twinkling stars
As I wonder every night about you?

Have you kissed me and no one else
With love and
With passionate longing
As I kiss nobody but you?

I write you this poem from a foreign land
To tell you how much I care
To tell you I love you today
More than I could ever dare.

When I saw your face, I was compelled by your loveliness,
stunned with your magical grace.
I have never seen such a beauty walk the earth.
This fragrance which stretches along your heavenly body,
brings me into a trance.
As you passed by, it was as if a siren had caught my eye.
Unable to turn away, I was taken away.
Caressed by your embrace, nothing in the universe
could foretell feelings of such grace.
Amongst the heavens, beneath the stars,
sealed in both our arms.
Yours in mine, mine in yours
for all eternity.

Water smooth as rippling silk,
Reflecting the mercury silver sky,
Gently surrenders to the shoreline
In one endlessly undulating caress.
Its waves aroused by the wind's embrace
And cherry blossom kisses on upturned face,
I envy its singleness of purpose,
Its relentless pursuit of dry ground;
Love in search of a heart;
Love so completely found.





12


Your spirit is like a ray of sunlight beaming through colored glass,
Your song is like a lullaby, soothing and warm;
Your soft, quiet words bring peace to my reservations.
I need you near and never want to let you go.
You have made me feel like I?ve never felt before.
Please don?t ever go.

I tread the golden paths
with thoughts of you in mind
I walk through the fields
with footprints left behind
Rivers of tears
flowing down my cheeks
This concrete joy
you make me feel

I look at the clouds
and you're ascending high
I lay down my heard
and you juggle my thoughts
Our souls entwined
and grounded in peace
As our heartbeats
became synchronized

I peep through the window
and see sparkles in your eyes
I listen to the wall
and heard your giggles and smiles
Your words and dreams
still gladden my heart
Our destiny revealed
is so indelible in my mind



14

Speak to me, I want to hear your voice
Love me, I leave you with no choice

Hold me, I need to feel you near
Laugh with me and call me your dear

Kiss me, I want to taste your lips
Gently touch me with your fingertips

Gaze at me, and you will see my soul
Because of you my life is finally whole

There was a star
That glistened brighter than the others

It glowed just like an angel
But prettier

One night it fell
So I picked it up

I brought it in
And wished upon the star

The wish was the best I could ever ask for
I wished that I had you next to me

A touch upon my face woke me up
I looked up to find you there

It seemed like magic, but it was real

I had fun while it lasted

When you went away and disappeared
My soul was empty and alone

You flew away into the starry night
While the fire grew deep down in my heart with anticipation

I wanted you back so bad
But, I knew it would happen again
On another starry night as I wish

Once Upon A Star

n the quietness of times,
        alone
But you near me
      in my imagination
Real:  soothing my anxious
            feelings
Of pain, of lost chances
Troubles and sadness
All this creeping in
      and darkening my spirits
Then --

In the quietness of times,
        with you
In mindful presence your
    joy, your tears
They enter the room
And I hold you in my
    thoughts
Kissing your pains
    away
And loving you
    in so many ways
This feeling of longing
    Strangely
Brings you near...

In the quietness of times,
        alone
But in your presence
Memories and mysterious
        thoughts
Feeling you close
Here alone, with you
I shed a tear
      and smile
In the earth
    there is only one
    true feeling
    among feelings
    Love...

Beach, surf and
pale yellow
A night of love
among the waves
Sand, soft, sifting
through fingers
Resting, relaxing,
at peace
In the cool light
of an island moon
Clinging in passion
to life's meaning
Tender touching in
a soft sensuous
embrace
Loving caresses in
the silky
touch of a tropical
wind
Breathing in the
perfume of the
ocean
A moment of
eternal loving
on
Moonlight Beach

So when you close your eyes,
Do you dream of soft blue skies,
Or do you float out on a river,
And watch the flowers as they shiver?
Do you find youself falling through a hole,
Do you reach deep inside your soul,
Or do you sing your song out loud,
And float away inside a cloud?
Do you run through an endless maze,
Do you cry inside a soft haze,
Or do you climb up an endless tree,
And strain to find the top you can't see.
So when you wake up,
Do you try,
To escape,
Back inside,
That realm we call imagination,
That erotic, soft, scary sensation,
In your dreams.

The mariachis serenading the streets of La Mancha
Fiestas glaring upon the sandy adobe villa
Shadows moving through the air with romance
They gleam upon the gentle brown eyes of my Dulcinea
She moves like water along my passion's petal
Beading and dripping with the beating of my soul
The musky dew descending from our visages as we make love on the mesa
Her clay soiled hands grasping mine, pressing to be whole

Our trance being broken by the yell of the banditos
They ride through the valley on blinding steeds of glory
And the evening is set ablaze with the fearful cries of battle
As I cut each desperado down before me in bloody victory
Calling to Rocinante to carry my bonita to the hacienda
I am wounded, but the fiend must not overwhelm my bride
With a lover's rage I raise my crimson blade into the slicing sunrise
At last, waking to find my sweet  rose asleep, and safe, at my side.



20

I just want to tell you
that I love you
