POETRY: YOU ARE MY WOMAN

I know we've never met,but one day we certainly will.We'll gaze into each other's eyes,as the world seems to stand still.The first time we talk it will seem,as if we knew each other a lifetime.Up my ladder of love,you will surely climb.So I thank you in advance,for the new life you'll bring me.For the love you'll teach me,and the gorgeous couple we'll be. For the kids we'll have, and the memories we'll share, Especially for always letting me know, In my time of need, you're there. When I call out your name,you'll stand right by my side. Always keeping your arms,warm, loving, and wide.




Woman:    
I have loved you, I love you and I will love you.    
Allow me to drink in your mouth the elixir of life.    
Allow me to enter in your being's depth    
and to be what I have always wanted to be.
Allow me to feel in you the presence of God.  

Woman:    
Do you remember?    
That time when I gave you a kiss    
for the first time,
as you sweat and your body trembled    
in the face of my impetuosity and audacity.
and yet I wanted to feel your trembling.

Woman:    
I have loved you and I will love you.
God willing (or not)
we can share sweaty kisses in another sky.  
I only know that you are only for me!    

Woman:
Who has not said that to see oneself in your eyes    
is similar to traveling to the infinite
and to feel the warmth of the home of the Almighty    
saying welcome to me, to all who know to appreciate  
the beauty of those eyes,    
the glance of an instant, the wonder of life.    

Woman:    
I love you, I have loved you and I will love you!

Today i saw a face, not just any face, your face:
pure unadulterated beauty.
A face that has haunted me for what seems like a thousand years.
A face that has kept me warm during the coldest of winters
and cool in the flames of summer!
This face touches me deeper than anyone has ever cared to drill.
This face has brought me up from the abyss
to a light that shines bright like the sun!
Because of this face I know love with no boundaries.
When I saw this face I knew love beyond doubt.
Today I saw your face.

Her face glows with exuberance,
with hair that flows to unknown reaches.
Her eyes burn into your soul without forgiveness,
and her mouth,
oh, a sweet mouth,
that could echo the joys for which I yearn.
Her skin shines the richest gold,
and her nose smells the sweetest scent.

This angelic creature is what I stare at,
consuming my inner being.
As the world around me crumbles...
The seas boil,
and the fire of God falls from the sky.
The birds no longer sing,
and my heart no longer beats.

But her face remains,
bright as the North Star,
etched in the recesses of my mind.
If only I had said something to her,
that day when the sun still shone,
I might not be here,
caught in this flow of lava,
in which slowly I sink.
Alone.

With every touch-
we make love.
whether it be-
our hands-
our bodies-
our lips.
Together-
we fit so perfectly.
Physically
and emotionally.
every moment
every breath
every heartbeat
is for you.
you're my other half-
as I am yours.
miraculously-
stepping on a path of broken glass
finally-
finding you in a bed of roses.
My heart skips a beat-
as my eyes take you in.
your mysteriousness
your love
runs all through me.
every vein
every nerve
becomes sharpened
I take you in
with a single breath
holding in 'til
you've reached my heart.
the door is open-
you wander inside.
unaware of where you are
and what an impact you've made.
you decide to stay.
you find it intriquing
and why wouldn't you
in a world of security
in a world of trust
in a world of love
alone at night
i would dream of this world
on that one star that stood out
thinking it was alone.
so i'd somehow feel comfort
but it wasn't alone
nor was it a star.
it was you
waiting patiently in the heavens
for that one girl to wish
for you every night
when you finally felt her passion and devotion
the heavens released you
falling helplessly
i awaited your arrival with open arms

When darkness falls and the earth grows still
The moon will begin to rise,
The candles of heaven will begin to burn
And the angel will close her eyes.

As the crickets call throughout the night
The angel will slowly begin to drift asleep
The crickets sing her a lullabye
And in her mind, dreams will creep.

With her head raised upon a pillow, which we both will share,
I will pull the covers over her body to keep her warm,
I will kiss her goodnight with such gentle care.
I will hold her gently so nightmares will do no harm.

As she sleeps throughtout the thickening night
The candles of heaven will continue to shine.
Staying awake and watching her dream
I will whisper to thank God that she is mine.

As she sleeps and dreams her happy dreams
I will stay awake and watch her sleep,
For if the covers should fall off of her
Who else would be there to cover her feet?

As she sleeps she seems so fragile
So I am careful not to cause her to wake.
I do not want to disturb her when she sleeps
For she seems like fragile glass which will easily break.

The earth will be silent and the earth will be still
And the crickets, they will sing,
And candles of heaven will burn through the night
When my angel sleeps.
