POETRY: TILL THERE WAS YOU

love, love,
 you are like a dove
soft, gentle, sweet and kind
I will never lie or, make you cry
and in my mind, I know you are mine
I love you, boo,
you know I stay true,
love, love,
 you are my love,

I never thought I could love again, till there was you,
I never knew the true meaning of happiness, till there was you.
I had never looked so deeply into anothers eyes, till there was you,
Emotions from the depth of my heart did not surface,till there was you.

Till there was you, emptyness was my companion,
Till there was you, I felt so alone.
Till there was you, the falling pieces of my broken heart mocked me,
Till there was you, love was just a word spoken by others.
 
Till there was you....... I cried alone.

Time is the moderator
 tempering my heart,
It guides all of my actions
 in setting me apart;
From those intent to injure
 or those twisted with hate,
Time is the moderator
 that does make me wait.

Beauty is the keeper
 of love, so dear and true,
It's the first of many qualities
 that I saw in you;
The smile on your lips
 the twinkle in your eye,
Beauty is the keeper
 that makes my spirit fly.

Honesty's a trait
 that holds me near to thee,
Conversation's ample
 and makes good company;
The truth is integral
 and always is in need,
Honesty's a trait
 that would not have us mislead.

Intellect is the teacher
 the instructor of the mind,
It opens up our covered eyes
 from the pathways of the blind;
It gives to us our reason
 and the logic of simple fact,
Intellect is the teacher
 that keeps our selves intact.

Gentleness is the seed
 that sprouts within our souls,
Its the giver of life, so sweet
 and the food within our bowls;
It sprinkles down its love
 like a warm, mid-summer's rain,
Gentleness is the seed
 that heals all of our pain.

To many things about you,
 to put down into words,
I'm, so, glad to have found you
 although it surely sounds absurd;
I listen to my heart and mind
 and in chorused unity,
They reach a massed conclusion:
 you and I are meant to be.

The way you express yourself with such gratitude
My love for you seems to blossom at the heart
The heart so vibrant and pure
Your guidance is my eyes for you to follow

My love seems to blossom at the heart
The love you have given me I accept with an open mind
My love, you have given me strength and joy
The reason why I give you my all
Because the last thing you would do for me is make me fall

Happiness, tenderness, to our joyous times
Is all you have given me from this moment on
The tears we have cried, the moments of laughter
To the bumpy roads we have crossed
My dear, my love, life life, you are me,
And I give you me to complete you and I as one

Our minds, bodies, heart, and souls
are combined to cherish and guide from here to eternity
Each day I awaken to a new day, a new face looking before me,
a duplicate of my inner beauty that knows how I feel,
as my heart seems to blossom...


              ......By Your undying Love !! !!

Is it me in you, I see,
Or, you in me?
Which one?
Was it you who made me fall,
Or you who fell in front of me?
Which one?
In your eyes I see a light,
Or, is it the light that comes from me?
Which one?  Which one?  I ask, which one?

I need your touch,
Or, is it just my lonely soul?
Which one?
You broke my heart,
Or, was it regret from breaking yours?
Which one?
My life turns dark,
Or, is it that I threw away the light?
Which one? Which one? I ask, which one?

Do I choose fear,
Or, do I love?
Which one?
Are you leaving,
Or, am I pushing you away?
Which one? Which one?
                  I know...
                         which one.

You,
Your soft lips, your sweet smile.
Stay awhile, please.

You,
Your gentle touch, your warm embrace.
Stay awhile, please.

You,
Your bold stance, your mesmerizing glance.
Stay while, please.

Alluring phantom in my dreams,
I pursue you till I wake,
And find you nestled in my bed.
What a silhouette you make.

Such a tempting, teasing shadow,
I feel I can't endure,
Another second of this waiting,
For a love so sweet and pure.

Another night of restless slumber,
Knowing you are there beside.
I'm so vulnerable to you,
And I ache for you inside.

I'm a captive to desire.
An inferno builds within.
Such exquisite heat arises,
From the depths beneath my skin.

I am captured in this moment,
Of bidding innocence adieu,
So, I'll awake your sleeping body,
And give my soul to you.

Sleepless nights of endless fantasies. Blood rushing, heart-pounding feelings run throughout my body. Her embrace...powerful arms rapped around my body.  I am comforted by her presence,  I am safe within her arms.  The feeling...my body senses these emotional changes.  I am clueless to what this all means.  When we part my body aches, my eyes are filled with tears, and my mind filled with fantasies. She is on my mind day and night, at times it may fill me with fright. These feelings have never entered my body before, so she must be the woman I have always adored
