POETRY: MY HEART WAS LOST AND NOW IT'S FOUND

Please, please pardon me
can you tell me if you see
My years of pointless time
all spent just trying to find
Love's meaning, life's desire
A love to set my soul on fire

I lived this life in such loss
paid a cold and tragic cost
A heart alone will truly cry
if left too long will surely die
My life alone, in dark's abound
waiting for my heart to be found

on that fateful day and by chance
in love's glimmer I felt romance
stunned by the very sight of you
and love's meaning I finally knew
you touched the very soul of me
this sweet love has set me free
from a life with no possibility

Love echoes this heart of mine
your touch is so tender, so kind
Like the sweetness of a new day
this light of love shows my way
in your kiss a rapture all complete
gentle loving made it all so sweet
no questions of how it could seem
for fear I'll awake from this dream
Now in love's bright and joyful sound
my heart was lost and now it's found

PART 2

In the canyons of my loving Echoes resound in the chasms of a deathly gloom Emptiness here in the dust of a thousand kisses You gone in the mirage of a forgotten happiness Desolate here in my loneliness And in the distance -- Rivers of longing Hope in a shimmering illusion Reaching out through the dusty storms of our parting Grasping at the distant dream And hoping, hoping the river is reality

PART 3

You drive me insane
For being away for so long.
You make me have lonely nights
Without knowing when it would end.

You make my heart skip a beat
Everytime I see your face.
You swiftly set my heart ablaze
Everytime I hear your voice.

You send chills all  through my veins
Whenever you're around.
You break down all my defenses
Making me lose my senses.

Flowing out of my body is
This river of joy.
Coming out of my spirit
Is this ocean of peace.

You keep me in suspense
Knowing I always want you.
You'll never be a stranger to me
Because forever, you're mine.

PART 4

What makes me so sure that my search for finding the one
     is accomplished?
     What feeling makes this so sure,
     and what love makes this heart complete?
     What tears shed makes her worth all the hurt,
      guilt,and pain?
     What joy given and received makes her
      the holder of my heart?
     What thought indulged makes her vulnerable to my flesh,
      the desire of my heart?
     What need makes her the blood that flows through my veins,
      the air that I breathe?
     And what memory keeps her constantly on my mind?
     But what feeling is this that I question
      for the first time?
