POETRY: THE DEPTH OF MY BEING

You are everything I've ever wanted,
My one and only dream.
We share many wonderful memories
and they will always remain.
So, sweetheart, after times have passed
We shall look back upon these wonderful memories
and remember what a great love we shared.
But don't worry, as we look back
We shall look back together.
Because, you are mine, now and forever...

If I could be with you today
 You would make me say
How much I want to stay with you
 For all my life until my dying day
But until that day all I will say
 Is that I love you in every way

If I
close my eyes
eternity
may just
vanish

Won't you
kiss me
till
sleep
prevails
to steal
this moment?

So many different feelings I'm feeling.
I don't know, actually, how to say what they are.
I wished, dreamed, and hoped that you feel the same way.
I just wish I could know, but you are so far away.
I will tell you one day, just don't know when,
That I love you so.........

Without you I'd lose concentration.
I'd loose a whole heart and inspiration.
Is it strong enough to last,
or are we just going way too fast.

The feelings I have- the emotions I show,
should be strong enough to let you know,
Just what you can count on from me;
forever and faithfully.

When I look at you, my soul shines through my eyes.
I tell you no story-I tell you no lies.
The way I feel sometimes makes me cry.
Because I know I'll always love you, even if you say goodbye.

I trust you just as much as I possibly can.
I still trusted you when you did things I didn't understand.
If my mind says go, but my heart says stay,
do I love you, or walk away.

If my heart is right then what I feel,
is no longer a dream- it has become real.
If my mind is right then I am to blame,
because it told me all along you guys are all the same.

I think you love me but I can't tell,
because I love you so much- just listen to how hard I fell.
I hear my heart in the sunshine- I hear it in the rain.
It's calling me so loudly- it's calling out your name.

I love you, yes I do... let me say it louder again.
Maybe you'll hear it then.
When you hear those words believe they are true.
Because they are the only three words I admit to.

No else could make me feel the way you do,
...that's why I love you.

The night I met you I knew
I never wanted to lose you.
So I followed my heart and soul
And fell in love with all you do.

The way your big, brown eyes
Seem to see straight inside of me
I get lost, I'm mesmerized
But there's no place else I'd rather be.

The way I feel when your lips touch mine
You take my breath away.
I cherish every second I am with you
But there's never enough time in a day.

The way you hold me in your arms
I can feel your heart beating next to mine
I melt into you when you whisper in my ear
That we'll make it; that we'll be just fine.

If I could find words to describe
What my heart feels inside.
I'd write this poem just for you
But nothing I can say would ever do.
 
Words don't show the depth
Of what my heart has kept.
Or my feelings that I hold deep within
For that person who is more than just a friend.

Love, is not quite enough strong
For the words that I long.
For it is you that's my heart's desire
You started this flame that has set me on fire.

Your name is whispered from my lips
With the softness of feather tips.
But how could I ever let you know
Just what my heart wants to show.

No words or rhymes can ever express
These feelings I hold, softly caressed.
In my heart you will always be
That someone special for eternity.

Clouds embraced the sky
Waves touched the sand
When I said that I
Want to live in your land

My life began when you said
You are the one I need
This love all we've tried
Look at my eyes to read
Words, stronger than every stone
Poems, in letters of gold
Massages, sent from the unknown
Secrets that have never been told

Looking at you
All the time
Eyes so bright
Face like a moon
Hair like night
Girl, you are so beautiful
God, thank you for this miracle

Many battles have I waged

Against my feelings for you.

Yet still, I find my heart caged

Unjustly by something I can't subdue.

Resistance has gained me no leverage.

In fact, it has caused me not but pain.

Maybe through acceptance I may salvage

A portion of my strength to explain.

You are the one I love and you'll never know.

Undeniable it is that forever shall I

Regret not telling you so,

In fear of your reply.

Do you ever dream,
Stay up at night wondering what could happen the next day?
Do you see the stars
and wish you could just grab one and keep it?
Do you see the moon
and talk to the man that lives in it?

Does he answer?
What does he say?

Why do you stay up and dream?
Do you not know what you want?
Is something on your mind and just won't go away?
Is there something like that star you want to have?

Is the man in the moon that someone you want to talk to and be close to?
Why, then, is it if you wonder these things you never try to get them?
Are you afraid?
Or is it that one night you looked at the stars and one just faded away.
Or is it that one night the man in the moon didn't answer you.

If this did happen,
Why do you still dream?
Why do you still stay up and wonder?
Why do you still look at the stars?
Why do you still talk to the man in the moon?

Is it that someone or something is still there?
But it was that something's star that burned out
And it was that person that stop talking to you.

Whatever it is, I want you to know...
I can't give you the stars but you can keep me and I will keep you.
I can't sit in the moon at night, but I can listen and I will answer.
Let me be your stars and your man in the moon.
Because I will never fade away, and I will never stop answering you.

hat have I done...
To deserve such a wonderful sight...
An angel without flight...

You walk upon this earth...
No wanting to go back home...
Up to the Heavens that you belong to...

What made you stay...
How did you be come astray...
Were you sent down here for me...

That is something that I don't understand...
How such a precious angel as thee...
Could now only belong to me...

Am I keeping you confined...
To this harsh place in time...
Or do you feel the same as me...

That I have a bit of Heaven on earth...
You have brought me more joy than anyone...
You love me fully...

You are the only one ...
That I can confide in...
Knowing that all is safe with you...

You are my friend...
You are my love...
You are all that I have ever dreamed of...

You will stay always...
In your eyes all I see is love...
And now you shall feel no more pain...

You will be free from the mortal way...
Living to feel hurt...
Living for the pain...

Instead of all that...
You have confided in me...
And now you will see...

All that I could ever want...
Ever need...
All I love lies in thee...

Take a rainbow.. split the multitude of colors apart.
Then you might just know how I feel in my heart.
For each single hue that is split from the bow
Would represent love I've not shown but, am willing to show.
Love can surely be shown in so many ways.
Just in small things we do, in each of our days.
Doesn't have to be spectacular or, something that's grand,
Just little signs of love so that you'll understand,
That you are the one that makes life worth living for.
And it's you, all my days, I'll cherish and adore,
Though it would take a lifetime for the colors to come through,
I'd show you a color each day as I live life with you.
Hope you open your eyes to this beautiful light
And remember the colors of love through each day and night.
And the rainbow will, one day, fully appear
As a sign of our love we've shared through the years.

Within the hollow of my heart,
the 'knowing' rests patiently.
Yet, the wait wears upon my thought,
and the other world of shallow minds 
seeks to weaken the truth.

How safe and warm is the 'knowing' 
when our souls and bodies blend in perfection.
Soft words whispered in the light, strengthen the joy of my being
and, in rememberence, taunt me with doubt and fear.

In the humanness of  my past, my own worthiness is questioned 
and seeks to corrode what is true.
I seek for patience and courage, 
to the one whose eyes shine, so gently, upon me...
whose smile I gaze upon adoringly 
and whose love bears down into the depth of my being.

So, the wait becomes a test of swords 
where the truth seeks to outwit the imagination 
in a prayer that the rainbow follows the rain.
I know we are meant to be..to love..to laugh..to cry..to heal 
and to relax into each other's arms.

Yet, the wait wears upon my thought 
as the other world of shallow minds 
seeks to weaken the truth
