POETRY: WAITING FOR THE SOUND OF HER

The soft music plays
inside my troubled mind tonight,
I am reading a poem of love,
of someone else loving.

I am touched and I cry,
it has reached out
to this lonely soul sitting silently,
waiting for the sound of her.

All stops in those moments
where I feel the intruder
into the life- the love,
of these other two.

But I cannot turn away
from those words, those images
that they give to me- and I know,
how much, I love you.

I am touched, inside love again,
and my heart soars with the knowing
that you love me back,
my need is so great for your touch.

I am so grateful
for this short gift in my life,
and I wonder if she will ever know
what her love did for me

As I sit here watching you sleep
I see you in your dream world
Where everything is good and happy
Where I am and you are and where we live happily

As I sit here watching you sleep
I see that you are safe and sound
In a place where no one or nothing can harm you
In your happy slumberland, you dream of us

As I sit here watching you sleep
I see the pure innocent you
I hope nothing takes that innocence away
I hope we are together forever

As I sit here watching you sleep
I dream that we are together
Dreaming about a perfect day with you
Dreaming about all the fun we will have together

As I sit here watching you sleep
I fall more in love with who you are and not what you are
I fall more in love with what you have brought into my life
                                 not what you have given me
I fall more and more in love with you for everything that you are
I fall more and more in love with all that makes you who you are.

As I sit here watching you sleep I know I love you and that is true

The facets of your loveliness are measured by more than beauty
Diamond like in quality, your attributes are clear
Like an able craftsman, always in trade and duty

The whisper of gentle sweetness resounds for all to hear
The splendor of nature's creatures
can do naught but hide in your shadow

Loved by all for your unsurpassed cheer and glee
So wondrous art thou in the wake you carve, others do follow
You are the woman all others strive constantly to be

From the day I met thee, to this day and tonight
From this day forward, 'till forever's long past
You'll be the jewel that crowns my delight

You're the love of my dreams come true at last
The facets of your loveliness make you priceless
The strength of our bond makes our love timeless

It's so amazing 
how you can love someone so much 
just the feel of their touch
would make you feel safe 
for a thousand years, 
so there's no need for tears 
when they leave you one day, 
because you still will be safe 
but only in a different way, 
and being with them can make 
all of your problems just fade away, 
so you can feel better 
each and every day.

It's so amazing 
how you can love someone so much 
just seeing them will give you lust
for their love and passionate ways, 
just looking at them 
will put you in a heavy daze.

It's so amazing 
how you can love someone so much 
that you would do anything 
just to hear their voice each day, 
to make you happy in every way.
 
It's so amazing 
how you can love someone so much, 
but what's more amazing 
is how much I love someone like you.
