POETRY: UNHINGES MY SOUL

This vision approached me one night in a dream,
A vision that you were the only one for me.
We were there hand and hand.
You were my superstar; I was your greatest fan.
In this vision, you were the greatest thing in my heart.
We were together, to never fall apart.
You fulfilled my greatest desire,
As our love for each other burned like an eternal fire.
You were my angel from above.
You were all of this in my vision of love.
As I awoke, I had only a dream that you can make come true.
This one thing I promise, I will always love you.
With one touch of your hand, I will get through the night.
Just a little of your love and I know I will be alright.
From this day on, my love for you has been proclaimed.
Like a kiss in the wind, a miracle love I have obtained.
You are my heart, thus become my dove.
You are all of this, in my vision of love

You took my heart
with only a single glance.
My love for you is a candle
which will always burn.
My love for you is something
you can be sure of.
The way you smile
makes every day of my life
seem worthwhile.
The look in your eyes
makes me realize
you are my one true love.
You entered my life
and completed me.
I can't begin to explain the
feelings I have for you;
when you look deep
into my eyes,
what that makes me do.

I never told you how you looked..
with the moon spilling from your fingers
and liquid stars, combed through your hair.
I was trying to hold your shadow in my hands
and I dreamt of sleeping.. without you beside me.

I never told you how you looked..
like an angel, when you slept---
your irridescent beauty always takes my breath away.
and it might break your heart when I say- I hate you
but it is only because- I love you
to a point of passion... that unhinges my soul.

I see couples
Holding hands, exchanging glances.
Smiling.  Smiling at a secret only they know.
Knowledge I long to know.

Tell me.
Share your secret with me.
Tell me the story of your love,
How you came to discover it.

Was it instant?
Did her smile brighten your world?
Did she make you forget your pain?
Did he show you how beautiful it is? 

Did he teach you not to be afraid?
Did he dry your tears
With the sentiment of his heart?
I see them.

Do they realize how lucky they are?
It would be easier if I were envious,
But my desire,
It grows stronger with each day.

I need to love,
To be loved.
I want to share in that knowing glance
With someone as he holds my hand.

Tell me your secret.
