POETRY: YOU ALWAYS TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

With the moments passing,
needing something to make my soul beam and smile,
a thought of you appears,
and my spirit lifts, my eyes brighten,
my soul lives,
lives for a reason it cannot define,
only by the look of your gaze,
and the intensity of your thoughts.
Your voice saying more than words,
piercing echos of your love,
that only grow,
as they travel to the depths of my heart,
and all with just a thought of you.

Roses, in moments of love
Colors of the rainbow
Awaiting a lover's thoughts
One or a bouquet
The most exquisitely beautiful
Gift of the green god
From him to her
Her to him
A symbol of deep felt love
Perfection in companionship
Lustful in intent
Purity of soulfulness
An expression of the heart
Red, yellow, pink
White and blue
Delightful displays of
floral passion...
Roses for the heart

A pretty picture, a pretty pose,
A moment captured in time.

I close my eyes and imagine you here,
Holding me closely, the moment so dear.

A moment to love, a moment to care,
For two hearts apart, a moment to share.

A moment come, a moment gone,
For just such a moment this heart has so longed.

I see the picture, I see the pose,
A moment in mind, a moment in time.

Breathe me with your deepest eyes
So you'll feel what's inside my heart,
So you'll see there are no lies,
So you'll know I loved you from the start.

Breathe me with your sweetest smile
As your smile can cheer a thousand souls,
As your smile renders me senseless like a child,
As your smile keeps me smiling a thousandfold.

Breathe me with your caring touch
For without it, my wounds would never heal.
For without it, my pain would hurt too much.
For without it, I would never again learn to feel.

Breathe me with your gentle kiss
To taste the conviction of my love for you,
To taste the joy of my soul in bliss,
To keep me there inside of you.

As the morning dawn breaks upon a new day
And the rising sun chases the darkness away
The birds awaken with all their cheerful glee
As dew glistens like diamonds on lawn and tree

I awaken with smiles to face a new coming day
Knowing a friend who'll beside me ever stay
She's sweet of smile and face so pretty to me
Just closing my eyes her beauty I can ere see

Beyond beauty lies a special person within
To her my dearest, special feelings I send
'Tis true that she has made bells to ever ring
To my heart, she much joy will ever bring

This I say to my best friend and special wife
Thanks to you I will ere have a blessed life

You came into my life with no warning
But suddenly, new thoughts are coming.
You've made me see so differently
and stood beside me unconditionally
Through all my crazy ideas
Like kissing in the rain
And never causing me to hurt
In more than playful pain.

You always take my breath away
With only a simple look
I realize as I think about it,
My heart is what you took.

Wanting but not having
Seeking yet not finding
Coming close but not touching
Desires felt yet not fulfilled

Tempted but not pleased
Aroused yet not sated
Lips puckered but not kissed
Passions stirred but not mixed

Dreams dreamed but not awakened
Eyes plead yet not seen
Heart beats but not felt
Body shivers yet not warmed

Hands reach but not held
Words whispered yet not heard
Fantasies born but not nurtured
Desires scream as they are tortured
