POETRY: IF I BECAME.....

There are four seasons in a year,
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.
I love you through them all.

My love in the Winter,
will never go cold.
It will burn with the sun,
long after we grow old.

My love in the Spring
is like a red, red rose.
It blossoms more each say,
and will never go away.

My love in the Summer
is warm and bright.
Long after the sunsets,
and through the night.

My love in the Fall
will never change.
It stays ripe with color
just the same.

There are four seasons in a year.
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.
I love you through them all.

Hear a heart that matches
my resistance, my insistance to you.
Changing night skies
into blue lite eyes
of blackened souls.
History fathoms portrays
each a star not quite seen
thru naked eyes.
I watch, I wait.
A tempest teapots boil
as teachers pet, teachers test
grading the best, the rest.

I beg of you
a mere autumn leaf. I am not
though, a thing of being of tales.
No wonders, no seeds to sow
here cast tempted to flesh.
I wait, I am here.

Your soft eyes in the morning dew,
are more beautiful than I could ever dream,

What would I think, if I didn't have your love,
I'd be lost in an empty city...china-puzzle unsolved?
Secret within secret- within secret- within...
only you can keep me on track, make me win!

Let's elope, let's leave all this behind.
I only want your love, delicate, sweet and kind?

With the tip of my tongue I gently catch what I seek,
a tear trickling down, ever so slowly, from your cheek.
It's salty, yet exquisite taste, exploding on my tongue,
as I wonder, tell,? my love ? ...have I ever wronged?

Your delicate eyes probe my soul for confidence,
for faith and valour, for truth and immaculate credence.
That harness my heart, fulfil my every need,
make me your knight on a silvery steed!

Oh, how I long for days of yore, of legends turned to dust,
when courtship and high love, bravery and loyalty,
were more than mere words spoken in trust,
and forever showed us the way to... infinity.

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.

If I became poor
     would you care to feed me?
If I became homeless
     would you provide me with shelter?
If I'm stranded in the rain
     would you protect me from showers...?
If I felt cold
     would you warm me with your body?

If I became ill
     would you become my strength?
If I lost my vision
     would you be my sight?
If darkness surrounds me
     would you be my light?
If I rescue you from danger
     would you shower me with praise?

If I became your servant
     would you treat me with respect?
If I became an outcast
     would you accept me or turn me away?
If I'm lost in the ocean
     would you let me swim or sink?
Tell me, if I give you my heart
     would you keep it or break it?

Not from the sun,
nor silvered stars,
this golden warmth
knows no bars.
Nor from the clouds,
or moonlit nights,
or any other
natural sights.
But from the lips,
of one so dear,
the one that calls
or whispers clear
the words only a
lover speaks,
that touches us
forever deep.

Transcending all the standards,
ignoring our differences,
I was drawn to you.
I saw beyond your lovely appearance
far enough to see your soul.
Timeless,
ageless,
I fell in love.
There were songs
I wanted to sing,
but you were not there,
so they were left unsung...
There were sights
I wanted to share,
but you were not there,
so they were left unseen...
There were stories
I wanted to tell,
but you were not there,
so they were left untold...
I listened to my thoughts,
but they felt as empty as I felt.
I look at the images of my face,
but the smile is unreal.
The dreams of my life
and the pieces of my heart,
shattered at your utter strife,
then slowly fell apart.
Through the days that pass
I live a life of alienation and despair.
I search dawn and twilight,
but you are no longer there.
Just like two best friends fight,
you defied me like a thief in the night.
As I walk the streets of life
alone and full of doubt,
I can no longer remember
what your love was all about.
I stood so still
with a tear in my eye,
but now you are gone
and with you my soul.
Within the ashes of my soul
There comes a time
To release the anger,
To unleash the pain.
Within the ashes of my soul
There comes a time
When I need to let go
Of the love that I gave.
Were not my thoughts pure, sincere?
Don't taunt, don't tease me.
It's just that I really did care.
