POETRY: COULD THIS BE LOVE

Could this be Love?

My heart is open
flying so free
and a new feeling
is arousing in me

I can smile once more
there is happiness in my eyes
I can express what I feel
my heart no longer disguised

No more sadness
no more pain
The sun has come out
now no more rain

What is this feeling
could it be true?
That I have fallen
so deeply in love with you?

Is it real?
Could it be?
That you may possibly
also love me?

Do you feel the same when
I know for sure my feelings are true?
Could you ever possibly
love me like I love you??

I lie beside you in the warmth of the night;
I can feel you breathe,
I can hear you sigh so softly.
Tell me now this feeling won?t change-
   It?s a lasting love.
I need to know I can depend on you.
Make me believe you,
Promise you will stay by my side
   Thru the good times and bad.
Bring me your kisses for the rest of my life,
   Feel my days and light my nights.
   I will always be there-
   Tell me you will be there, too.

I have all I want when it comes to loving you.
You are my only reason, you are my only truth.
I need you like water, like breath, like rain.
   I need you like mercy from heaven's gates.
Rescue me from this world full of pain.
When the hope moves me to courage again,
You are the love that rescues me,
when I need someone on whom I can depend.
I can?t go back now, because you brought me too far.
I need you like the sky needs stars.

When I was lost, I could not see.
Now I am found and my heart is free.
   I was alone dreaming of you;
I could not imagine this coming true.
So much joy in everything you touch-
   I want to thank you so much.
Look at the sky, tell me what you see-
   Close your eyes and explain it to me.

I long to hold you in my arms
And feel your warmth that gently calms
The words we'll whisper to each other
Will confirm we love no other

I'll hold your body close to mine
My lips embrace your lips divine
I'll touch your face and stroke your hair
And show you that I'll always care

No other special love we'll find
Your eyes meet mine our souls combine
The love tears run like rivers to sea
Since we now know together we're free

The tears of despair will no longer flow
For the years of sadness each of us know
Now that we've seen the love we can gain
We'll be ever so close and together remain

We have the love and the care that is real
And now we're together such joy we shall feel
Loving and sharing each day and each night
Has never before been completely so right

A kiss, a touch.
Would do so much.
But from you,
the prettiest of angels.
Would only give my life a meaning.

For this is what I feel,
and only you, my silent witness, will ever know.
Enter the clouds of confusion, the test of our love.
In constant pursuit of your love,
I ride this storm of gyrating cause.
This cannot end, you are my reason,
the one reason I use my free expression.
I ask "Why must this test proceed?".
Even through all the confusion of this powerful storm,
your light shines for my devotion. Now snow capped and frozen,
I wait, I wait for the heat of "Us" to render in time.
The longest year still to come,
come before I can melt to myself,
the person I am.
A person of one, a whole of two.
I can't think straight until I know you,
and when this happens, I then can know myself.
But until this happens, I cannot hate you,
I cannot make love to you,
all I can do is shiver and know that I still am deeply
in love not just the thought, or fantasy,
but with "You".

Do not end my life with you
By ending your sateful kiss with me
Which mingles our souls together
As vapors upon the winds whisked by.
But rather keep your lips as part of mine
To touch an even deeper place
That waits and has so long awaited
Someone such as you.

Do not end my life with you
By ending your sweet caress of me
Which holds our heartbeats intertwined
In moments above mortality.
But rather keep your touch as part of mine
To feel much deeper passions
That live and have so long existed
For someone such as you.

Do not end my life with you
By ending your eyebeam's hold on me
Which reveals within us ecstasy and purity's delight.
But rather keep your eyes as part of mine
To see so great my love
That is and has so ever been
For someone such as you.
