POETRY: ONLY FATE AND TIME WILL TELL

The smile on your face
Lets me know that you love me
When you look into my eyes
You see down to my heart
You're a special person
Sent for a special purpose
You hold my hand
And I shudder at the memories
Thoughts of us loving each other
Binding together, becoming one
You complete me infinitely
I am nothing without you
If I were to be asked to do it over
I'd refuse, saying I'd rather have this day
Only this day with you forever
Than a thousand yesterdays
I've been asked about the future
But if I don't have you today
What do I care for tomorrow?

Together we have developed a love based on honesty,
loyalty, devotion, respect, and love. We have shared our hugs,
joined, blended, and then moved as one silently,
we have felt each other's needs and wants and wiped away
each other's tears along with understanding and love.
We have accepted and encouraged one another, respected,
each other's abilities, and delighted in each other's
accomplishments. Ours is a love without frills,
and garnished one where we can relax and be ourseleves
without masks or roles to play. It is a constant source
of comfort and joy in my life. It means so much to have
you as my lover you know me like no other person ever will.
You know my fautls and weakness, my insecurity
and my doubts and you still like me anyway.
You're the only person who I know for certain would be there
trying to hold my sprits up if my whole world
came crashing down. I can't tell you how much it means
to have you in my life. All I can say is that I can't
imagine being here without you.

Now that I have you~~ can I keep you?
Now that you are in my thoughts~~ am I in yours?
Now that I promise you forever~~ will you give me the same?
Now that I have given you my heart~~ swear to me,
    you will protect it.
Now that I give you my trust~~ will you respect it,
    and give me yours?
Now that my heart is in your hands~~ will you treat
    it as you want to be treated?
Now that I am happy, will you always make me smile?
Now that you are forever mine~~ am I forever yours?
Now that I love you~~ will you love me back?

Your smile lights
up my world and my
smile warms your heart.

When you are close
my heart is light
and I bring joy to yours.

I am your purest
sweet white rose,
sometimes, I am blood red.

You are my
brilliant butterfly,
at night; my Great Gray Moth

We fly together
through the night,
return to earth at dawn.

There are no barriers
for us, we are what
we would be.

Let others rob
themselves of love,
by fences that they raise.

We will not be bound
by rules, we dare
to push the edge.

Together we can touch
the stars and fly
beyond the night.

So wrap me in your
warm gray wings
and let me bloom for you.

To prove his love to the rest,
He fought for her... he did his best.
His heart was strong as was his will.
And for her he would die... for her he would kill.
His love was declared in the highest honor.
And as she cried... he gazed apon her.
The tears were streaming down her face,
He knew she was his... he had won her race.
And with one move he kissed her lips,
smiled at her... then hugged her hips.
She said to him, "I love you so"
And to her suprise he said, "I know."

My love,
Oh, how I love thee,
No words can describe my love for you,
No song can be as beautiful as our love for each other,
I would sail across oceans to see you,
I would fly across the world to kiss you,
I would walk over lands to be with you forever,
My Love!

Star-Cross'd-Lovers

Star-Cross'd-Lovers                  
I was born to love you;
You were born to love me.
We must have loved each other in heaven,
For destiny chose us to be... Star-Cross'd-Lovers!

I am sitting here wondering if there is somone special for me out there,
Hoping that she comes to me in my dreams and in reality,

I pray for a match made in heaven that will understand my deepest
thoughts and the needs of love and romance that I dwell on so much,
If there is such a person Come to me, Come to me my love I wait for you,
I will wait to feel your warm embrace,

My love as I know someday you will come and take my tears of loneliness
away from my eyes and hold me so tight
in your arms and take all my worries and pain of heartbreak away,

Oh my love I can almost feel your presence although you are so far away,

Come to me.

These are the eyes that tell no lies,
Let feelings rise without disguise,
To love, hold fast and with youth past,
In every cast, show beauty vast.

When you toss and turn in your bed at night,
Frustrated that nothing that day went right,
And you wonder how to find some common ground
To ease your anger... just turn around.

When you get bad news and you fall apart,
And you feel that pain is breaking your heart,
And you cry a tear with every sound,
To ease your sadness... just turn around.

When you feel so negative, nothing is good,
No way will you smile, even if you could,
And you feel disgusted, you feel hell-bound,
To ease your hatred... just turn around.

When you feel lost, not finding your way,
Miserable thoughts take over your day,
And you search for Guidance that can't be found,
To ease your journey... just turn around.

When you seem shaken and a little scared,
And risks seem unbearable and even dared,
When you want to face the ghosts that hound,
To ease your fear... just turn around.

When it's hard to think and nothing seems clear,
And you can't even remember the day and year,
Answers are lost as your mind astounds,
To ease your confusion... just turn around...
          and I'll be there.

My one wish in the world is to find a woman that I can love,
She'd be my buttercup, my sweetheart, my friend, and my dove.

She'd fullfill the rest of my heart,
 which would make me feel complete,
And the greatness and love she brings
 would knock me off my feet.

Her eyes would mesmerize me by their sparkling shade of blue,
And how I'd be lucky enough to find her, I have no clue.

Her hair can be blonde, red, or a shiny blend of brown,
It doesn't really matter because I'd never let her down.

Her lips would be smooth, and kept ohh so soft,
And to have them in my presence, I would pay any cost.

Her smile would be beautiful and would almost make me tear,
And to lose her forever would be my biggest fear.

I would never hurt her in any way, shape, or form,
But instead I'd always be by her side
 and try to keep her warm.

Her measurements wouldn't matter to me
 unlike some other guys,
Because her personality would be my number one prize.

This prize would contain happiness
 and the love for having fun,
Which would give her the personality like no one.

She'd make me smile when the times would turn bad,
And would make me feel happy even when I'm sad.

Her trust would be the one thing I wouldn't want to break,
Because I'd realize I had made a very bad mistake.

I'll get down on my knees each and every day,
To pray to God that this beauty is here to stay.

I'd take her to see the ocean, and to the sea,
And watch the sunset to see how beautiful it would be.

We would dance on the sand, have fun,
 and enjoy the special night,
That would be the best thing that could happen to me
 at such a beautiful sight.

I'm going back to her inner body,
 because I love a sweet lady,
And I'd know she'd love to talk to me
 and wouldn't act shady.

Would I do anything for this woman, yes I surely would,
I would protect her with my life and do everything I could.

I'd take a bullet and die for this woman
 so she would feel no pain,
In which her life would still go on
 because she has a lot to gain.

I would be her man, and like the army, I'd be all I can be,
And my love for her would be all that she could see.

You shall realize this person is my richest
 and most prized possession,
Which I've told you about in this rhyme-filled discussion.

If I could ever find this wish upon the star,
 I'd be the most thankful guy,
And wonder how I was so lucky and why.

i wish i could see you
i wonder what you look like
i pictured you with me
i imagine you
...smiling
...laughing
...frowning
and sometimes crying

i wish you could be here
i wonder what you're doing
i picture you watching me
i imagine you
...making funny faces
...making me smile
...making me laugh
and never making me cry

i wish we could be as one
i wonder what it would be like
i pictured just that already
i imagine us
...as a couple
...as a family
...as husband and wife
and with children

but it was all a dream

I woke up this morning and said to myself,
"Today is the day you need to let go of
that something you don't have,
and put aside the false hope you currently thrive on."
I continued to go about my daily routine
with a few changes here & there,
not noticing the fact that you haven't even crossed my mind...
until you crossed my mind.
PLEASE... I need the strength to let go...
Let go of the feeling you give me
when we're in each other's presence...
Let go of the vision of unity between you and I
that haunts my dreams and taunts my reality...
Let go of the past that hinders my future.  

A lot of decisions I made,
I based them around how you would see me
when in actuality you weren't even looking.  
Now there's someone who's ready and willing
to take me where I want to be and give me
all that I could ask for...
and I don't even have the strength to let YOU go.

It slowly began with a few friendly words,
which fluttered between you like newly born birds.
But it quickly developed a special appeal,
As you grew to enjoy how it made you feel.

When days became weeks the sentences changed
to reflect the exploring in which you engaged.
Seeking to learn all about your new friend;
hoping she hears every thought that you send.

So dance on a rainbow
out to the stars.
Dance to the music
of Venus and Mars.
It may not be a melody
in harmonious sound,
but this is the song
of the love that you found.

You notice you miss her and ache deep inside,
The feelings that grow become harder to hide.
Despite your denials it won't go away;
you want to be with him by night and all day.

What worries you most is if her returns
the love that consumes you, as inside it burns.
A compulsive obsession to find out the truth,
you're elated with joy when she offers you proof.

So, dance on a rainbow
out to the stars.
Dance to the music
of Venus and Mars.
It may not be a melody
in harmonious sound,
but this is the song
of the love that you found.

But love is two sided- not simple at all,
It's something we learn only after we fall.
And then we discover, again and again,
that love always brings us both pleasure and pain.

So, like it or not it is part of you now,
but you will survive what it brings you somehow.
Look for the pleasure that love always brings
and follow the rhythm of the song that it sings.

So, dance on a rainbow,
out to the stars.
Dance to the music,
of Venus and Mars.
It may not be a melody
in harmonious sound,
but this is the song
of the love that you found.

In so many days...
And in so many ways...
I've opened my heart to you...
As a pathway to my soul.

I can still recall...
The first time our skin touched
-Just our hands-
That anxiousness
That made my palms wet
And tingle with excitement.

I can still reminisce....
The first time our lips...
Slightly touched...
So soft and seductive...
My heart was racing.

Only fate and time will tell...
When YOU will explore and learn
Ways of how I love...
And how you want me to love
