POETRY: WE SHARE THE SAME DREAM

Flying always is your mind,
Pursuing anything you like
To seize pleasure anywhere low and high.
Pacing up and down in a crowd all the time,
You fear the taste of loneliness, and sigh.
Soft and fragile is your heart,
Surrendered to drizzle and breeze alike,
Broken with a gentle touch at one try.
You like to keep friends by your side.
You are most scared of night.
But, night is bound to arrive,
And friends to part after a while.
Company won't last a long time.
Fruits of solitude everyone must bite.
Get tired not of only you and I.
When you're lonely, who will come to mind?
Company of someone else will you find?
Your joy and sorrow alike
are forever mine.
Ah, let me accompany you one more time.

If my love were a song, I would sing it for you
If my love were a star, it would shine the brightest
And twinkle now and then to remind you as you gaze up above
That my love is steadfast and true, bright and unlike any other

If my love were a mountain, it would be the highest, hardest to reach
And a reminder that few have been there, for the journey is hard
And to conquer it is to survive the journey

If my love were like the ocean, it would be the deepest, most beautiful
Warm, like my heart full of love for you
Deep as the depth of my love for you
Yet at times, rough and precarious due to changes in the weather and life

But, no matter how rough or calm, my love remains the same

At times my heart is full of love for you.
At times it's full of desire.
At times I feel I can't go on without you.
At times I fell deceived and hate takes over.

But when I am with you...
All that hate filters away
And all I feel is heartfelt love and desire.

My ears, naked with impatience,
find the inches between our
words, extravagant-

My heart, swollen with
an intolerable hush,
reinvents anticipation-

The abandonment drains
the skin of the sun-

The sky drinks
nocturnal merlot-

I am absurd, you are
phenomenal-

My pulse displayed
My complexion, rare-

Then your voice, again.

We lay upon the midnight moon
Whispering secrets as our passions bloom.
As the cool breeze carries your scent across the land
I stare into your eyes.

As gentle kisses flutter your hand
Our heart beats echoes in rhythm's demand
While love sounds out like an orchestra of romance.
Your soft body melts into me
Creating twin thoughts.

Your fragrance like flowers.
Your beauty well sought.
The moan that's released for once...
A thousand times before.
You say this night forever,
And I forever more.

Dreaming
as i heard your voice whisper in the wind
i listen ever so closely to heart every words
within your heart that's been aching for so
long needing a love that truly belongs.

as we drifted together in places that we
seen yet did not feel that's special
feelings we share today
feels like a dream is all it seems
floating in the clouds, walking in water,
climbing the highest mountain and knowing
that love like this could only be a dream
yet in our heart as we both know
we no longer have to dream no more.

you and i felt what was a dream
but today, my love, we live what we dream
sharing a love that's everlasting
and we no longer have to dream and dream.

A sailor without a northern star,
bitter and cold creep within the heart.
Wandering, journeying, far till the soul is ill;
yet my home is further still.
No sandy shores beckon my boat,
and darkness creeps like a woven coat.
Jagged, rigged, cliffs call out,
with shallow waters that hold no clout.
Clouds fever across the barren skies
as a stoned faced disguise
I put in place
while steering the murky waters covered in frothy lace.
Yet...I see a beam,
or is it a miraged gleam?
Could there be a home?
for this fallen sailor who stands alone?
I bear no name
with glory, honor or fame.
Weary, tired, and beaten;
I stand praying my eyes are not decieving.
Yes! For it is a gleam within a smile,
so close...but dare I cross the miles?
Friend or foe?
dare I find? Dare I go?
So many cliffs
with jarring riffs.
Have from my past I not learned?
Battle scars deceitfully earned.
Boats crushed and lie barren at the bottomless sea,
hopes killed deep within me.
Pound one...pound two...pound three...pound four...
Cries NEVER AGAIN! NEVER MORE!
Deserve not I of this gleam,
for it could never be for me!
Tears of red stream my face,
a stone mask well set in place.
Facaded thespians all about,
I hear them cry...I hear them shout.
Yet her light calls to my heart,
although love to me has always been bitter and tart.
Her light could not be for me,
alas I belong upon this barren sea.
A light, a light, a northern star;
an angel's lark like none before.
A sandy beach?
Could it be possible? Could I reach?
Shall I stay? Shall I go?
Dear god hear my sorrow.
For my love runs deep,
yet she lies so far from my reach.
I fear my tarnished soul shall dim her light,
yet I run to her from the hated night.
Please let this be the one,
let my journey end and the farce be done.
For I cannot stop the love that from my heart flows
as she calls to my lonely soul.
Unworthy of her fruit-filled trees
that sway in the gentle breeze.
Her golden fields
that lovingly yield.
Mother nature's greatest sunrise
lying deep within her eyes.
Precious treasures she hides,
but is it my place to try and find?
I may never know
why she accepted my tarnished soul.
But I am filled with such love as she turned my night to day.
So please lord...please lord...never take her away.

In momentary inattention of sight
You passed by me with a speed of light.
Weathering the stormy love of my life past
You weakened the defense my heart has known.

You besiege my space with unlimited love
Claiming everything that comes your way.
You occupy my days with all your ways
Without a glimpse of what your love will bring.

The weight of your thought occupies my soul
Keeping me under your merciful control.
All the heavenly bliss, my heart has shown
Are products of your clever, lovely goal.

Through the windows of your innocent heart
You peeped to see my aching life.
Like a wounded soldier in the battlefield
I crawled to safety of your unfailing love.

In the moon glow
   of earth's candle flame
A glancing smile,
   a sultry whisper
"I Love you" "I Love you"
  in the echoing vapors
   of an ethereal
    ochre light

Prisms of a rainbow's prance
   dewy remembrances
    and a soft repeat
"I Love you" "I Love you"
   lost in the soul scape
   of scattered dreams
And always, always
   a whispered repeat
"I Love you" "I Love you"
   in the flickering
     of a moon's
         dying flame

I often forget how much you love me.
I often forget because you're too perfect to exist in reality.
Were you sent to guide my way?
Were you sent to lead me threw each and every day?
What did I do to deserve your loving hands?
What did I do to deserve such a wonderful man?

At first my thought was you wanted something in return.
But giving something for nothing is what I had to learn.
Loving me for me seemed so strange.
Who I was I never let anyone know because of the pain. 
I always hid temptation of loving someone else.
I choose to hide feelings, they could never love me for just myself.

I once ran into a relationship 
I thought I'd be satisfied to be loved in any way.
That failed when all those women choose not to stay.
I was then confused I didn't know what love was anymore.
When at one time I felt I knew for sure.

Thank You for saving and loving me the best way you know how.
I know how to be loved and give love back in return now.
Thank you for excepting my faults and my past.
Thank you for letting my heart know you'll still be there 
Even if it doesn't last.
