POETRY: I ONCE HAD A DREAM

I once had a dream...
I gave you my heart
and you accepted.
You told me you loved me.
I was so high,
I could have fallen to my death.
I reached new heights,
I was proud to be by your side.
You told me how you felt
and made my heart melt.
I realized I loved you so much
I would die to make you happy.
You were so important to me
I couldn?t tell you.
But I think you somehow
knew my feelings and emotions.
I was holding your hand
and walking away from any dangers.
I gave you the world,
I spent my life on you.
Then with a final word,
you said, "Good bye"
with your soft soothing voice.
Then, finally you told me
...you loved me.
Then... the dream ended.
I guess it was
supposed to be a dream...
(sigh) just a dream.

She stands there
in the darkness of the forest
weaving her magical spell
in a world of fantasy she lives.

A knight stands there...
in the realm of life and of dreams
he sits there in awe
watching her spin her spell.

Wanting to reach her world he holds his hand out.
the spell wraps itself around his hand;
he resists.
But he looks at her and finds that he cannot,
he allows himself to fall.

She touches him and whispers, "I love you.."

He lays there, shaking in sweat.
He opens his eyes, and he sees the familiarity of his room.
He then closes his eyes to return to the world of dreams, to
return to her...

Whenever I'm wary
From the trials of my life
I think of you and I smile
You give me hope and love to carry on
You inspire me and awaken me
to a brand new day filled with
wonderful thoughts of you?
thoughts that keep me happy
and help me get through the day
You are... my inspiration

My nights are never cold.
The warmth of my love for you
Overcomes my body and soul and I drift
Into dreamland
Where you and I roam free
And we love
Like we've never loved before
When I awaken you are my first thought
My first breath of morning air
You are... my nourishment

Like two peas in a pod
We are alike in the most precious of ways
Never before have I seen
The beauty of such a divine connection
I feel what you feel; I understand; I know
I know you
You are my most beautiful vision
And I see you at all times and all places
You are in my heart
You are... me

My heart beats.
I'm here.
She's here.
My mind swirls.
My heart beats faster.
I take a quick glance at her, right next to me.
My eyes shift.
My eyes move back to meet with hers.
My heart beats faster than before.
Bordering between rapid and dangerous.
I sense a movement.
Her hand starts to make an advance.
My mind does a 360.
My hand starts to move as well.
My heart crosses into dangerous.
And then I feel her fingers locking with mine.
I smile, knowing that as I hold her hand, she's smiling, too.

I close my eyes and it?s you I see.
And if I try I can even smell the perfume you wear.
I smile, I see your face, your smile, Your eyes
When I look into them they're like nothing I have seen before.
The way you look at me breaks down the wall around my heart into dust.
Your touch is like none other.
It?s the softest kindest feel to ever come my way.
It?s of care, genuine, full of hope, to have once been lost
But given a second chance to survive.
If heaven were to allow me to see an angel
It would be you I am looking at.
So I close my eyes when you?re not around, smile and wonder,
What do you see

love was nothing,
until you,
love was lost,
until you,
love was only a facade,
until....you

you came into my life and changed everything,
everything I have ever dreamed of,
everything that I have ever wanted,
everything I have needed,
was defined when you entered my life,

I have never loved,
until you.......


7

As I look into your face,
I see you so benign.
I'm lost within your crystal eyes,
And I cannot close mine.

I get lost within your smile,
And wander aimlessly.
Through ecstasy and endless bliss,
So peaceful and so free.

All I have to do is see,
Your precious procelain skin.
My eyes light up like burning fire,
And I am lost within.

I never want to leave here.
This feeling is so nice.
I look into your eyes
And I am lost in paradise.

Awakening of
Yesterday's lust;
Today's suffering
And tomorrow's pain.

Remembrance of emotions
Burned by the promises
You couldn't keep.
Soft breezes of memories
Swirling about
Of the long ago passion.

Erotic feelings
Long buried by you.
Bound in chains;
My heart still aches for
You.

'Till there was you...
     My soul was dimly lit... now it shines brightly.
     My heart never beat such rhythmic music.
     My eyes never saw the essence of true beauty
     My lips were all alone in a world unknown to me.

'Till there was you...
     My hands never felt the body of love.
     I never longed for a companion.
     My dreams were disenchanted... now you haunt them like a ghost in the wind.
     The sun shined for daylight... now I know it shines for us.

To this very day I never felt true love... then there was you.



10

Regardless of whether I love you,
   hate you, wish you were dead
   or know that I would die without you.

It doesn?t matter,
   because once you entered my life,
   no matter whatever I was to the world,
   you became everything to me.

When I look you in your eyes,
   I'm traveling to the depths of your soul
   and I say a million things- without even speaking,

I know that my own life in consumed by your love,
   I love you for a million reasons.

It?s a 'thing,'
...an indescribable feeling.

We are here,
there, everywhere,
my love and I.
In wind, blowing
in the night sky,
each star falling free,
the moon beams,
the sunshine,
each raindrop,
in the river's bend,
on ships at sea
in the pot of gold
at each rainbows end.

We are here,
my love and I,
in the four seasons
of spring, summer,
winter, and fall.
Walking in a forest
or under city lights.
In a castle tower
looming tall.
Hearts basking
in the glow of love
in a cottage
behind a garden wall.

We will be there,
my love and I,
when the world stops,
when the sky, the wind,
the sun, the moon
and the stars drop.
Our hearts and minds
touching there,
body and soul,
lingering there
within our love,
aching for reality
in our fantasy world.

For now,
I need not feel isolation
I need not feel desolation
For your memory lies within
When an era of memory does begin

My heart salivates at a mere thought-
dancing in my mind, I am caught
Twisted thoughts, temptations flare
Closed eyes, open mind... if I dare

I will always keep you near
In my soul you are deep and dear
The stake in my heart left a hole
Yet, it will not bleed, it remains full

In another life you may come to me
Where your true heart longs to be
Until then, the taste, bittersweet
And my heart forever skips a beat

13

looking inside you. where do we run today? scattered about
in the riches we love, unknowingly in the brilliance of light
from above. nothing to abstract you...to deform you,
or make you dark. the other side is full of wild sensation.
we can dip ourselves in the serenity of the unknown...
we can blend our fantasies together, create a whole new horizon.
doors swing open, and there's nothing but possibility.
endless passion unrolling in the purity of our existence.
I can feel you, which makes it impossible not
to expand our minds, and perfect our touch.

each second dies. the past is constantly behind us
like every wave that embraces the shoreline. each breath cries
this life is constantly with us like every star that shines.
you amaze me.
I can't help but explore your eyes, and run my fingers
through your hair. I watch you dream when you sleep.
I feel your spirit in the air that breathes,
in the sun that bleeds. I'm here to fulfill your aspirations,
and all your needs.

The child you once were, is still within you.
You're always that special little girl.
It's infinite like the universe.

limitless in all I see, and feel. having you beside me,
to endure all that is real

ou are the reason that God made the moon,
And starlight,
And midnight blue.
Then he crossed our paths at forever more,
And as they touched,
There sparkled a magic we couldn't ignore.
We walked together,
Timid at first,
But then,
Your eyes told mine as mine told yours.
It was God's will, it was destiney,
It was love from the first.


15


My darling love, so sweet and gentle,
Come to me and allow me to see the future of you and me.
What will become of our life together? Nobody knows.

Loving you is all that matters to me...
Holding you close, feeling you against me.
My heart flutters when you call my name and say "I love you."

Your lips so soft and gentle, like the drip of morning dew.
To me, life would not exist without you in it.
You are my life, my whole world.

My life-long happiness exists only deep within you.
Without you there would be only darkness.
You are my heart, soul, and my other half

The night is beautiful
 stars shining so bright,
  up at them I stare
   looking for you, tonight.

Sitting alone
 so far from you,
  but feel as though
   you are right here, too!

I miss you so
 seems like forever
  has now passed
   since we spoke last.

Wanting to feel
 the warmth of your touch
   against my skin.

The night, the stars,
 here alone...
   missing you,
   even though
you are in my heart.

Someday soon
 will you be--
  watching the stars
   here with me?

Firelit lips dance
Warm
Wine tossed tongues touch
Sparking
Cheeks blush
Smiles and giggles
Lovers embrace
Gently
Then passionately
Eyes touch
Deep, soft
Sweet
Lips again
touch seeking touch
Tingling, shivering
Struggle for love
Toil for passion
Rising higher
Higher
As one
Holding
Time stops
Joining
Rising...
The moment stands still
The pounding of hearts
Marking time
Like the ripples on a pond
spreading
Mingling
And returning
Again

Will you be mine please?

You tease me with your beautiful looks.

Your love is as soft as a feather.

I will never forget your beautiful smile.

I see your face in the rain as it falls

through the night.

           

You're on my mind every minute of the day

so say you will be mine so we can be together

forever, forever together.
