POETRY: TASTE THE MEMORY OF WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT WAS, TO LOVE

Can't time stand still?
Capture this moment and make us near?
Two hearts that beat far from,
but in this moment,
we stand in unison

2

Near the ocean
The waves engulf the sands
While I write this
Thinking of your hands

At the park
The children laugh and play
While I'm smiling
Thinking of your day

In my bed
The shadows mark the wall
While I'm thinking
Of how you gave your all

In Heaven
The streets are made of gold
While I'm looking down
Watching you grow old

Near the gates
You're finishing your strife
Now we are complete
For everlasting life



3

I close my eyes and dream of you,
can't sleep the whole night through.
Dreaming of You, dreaming of You.

I retire to bed and smell your gown
and in a moment I hear your sound.
Dreaming of You, dreaming of You.

The sound I hear is that of us talking
and then I can see us walking and walking.
Dreaming of You, dreaming of You.

I hold your warm body throughout the night
and behold your beauty, what a wonderful sight.
Dreaming of You, dreaming of You.

I see us praying while holding hands,
were asking the Lord to keep our Love strong.
Dreaming of You, dreaming of You."

What a beautiful feeling to Dream of You,
I will Dream forever, I will Dream of You.


4

I have spent a lifetime
looking at love from angles
not even geometry could explain,

then in the blink of an eye,

I lost all direction.

Like seasons change
I have come full circle
in the moving of winds
that play songs lost to the
rhythm of time.

But, in all of it,
because of you,
for one bright flickering moment,
I have known what love felt like
when laid at my feet
to capture my heart



5

Tender words of love unspoken,
Only divine spirits can hear.
Fragile hearts broken,
Eyes shed a tear.
Faded token:
A lover's kiss.
Eternal desire,
No feelings amiss.
Passion's unearthly fire,
Betrothed souls unite in bliss.

Have you tasted the delicious torment of oysters
Let your foccacia bread drip with soft green salted olive oil
Do you know the love of Sushi
and boldly face the wild winds of wasabi

The tellers of the tales
These are unbridaled ocean gifts smashing against the rocks
and found deep in the white and black sands
of beaches I have laid apon

These... the oils of Solomon that drip like mir from lovers hands...
those that touch and those that are forced to say goodbye
Here, find them here, in your breads and oils
Taste the memory of what it is, what it was, to love

Find it there, just there, in that flash of purity
as the oyster hits the back of your throat
There... yes, there when the wasabi flings open your passageways
and you breathe for the first time in your life

Here, yes, Here I am
In all of these as you will always be for me
hidden in tree moss
beneath enormous bolders so strong and large I find I must believe
in miracles, in the wind that catches in my sail, in you and perhaps
in time- even in me.


7

If life's a play upon a stage
then read with me each scripted page.
Perform with me a scene of love,
sychronized as hand in glove.
When arrows fly from Cupid's bow,
play Juliette to my Romeo.

Though I cannot look upon your face
or hold you close in love's embrace,
No mason's work is strong enough
to deny my uttering words of love,
though there may exist a wall between us,
play Thisbe to my Pyramus

If other people intervene
To prevent us playing love's sweet scene
In the silvery garden lit by moon;
we'll come together very soon.
I'll ask, with love words whispered low,
Play Roxanne to my Cyrano.

If not too busy with cupid's bow
to let your honest feelings show
be more than just my dearest friend
if we should meet at river's bend.
I'll bow and ask you very politely
Play Emma to my Mr. Knightly



8

Swaying through life like the pollen flowing continuously
to the next piece of land to rebirth.
Each carried memory drags my spirit further down.
My heart is ripped and dirty, my thoughts are puzzled
and twisted and to look at my face it appears as a clown.
Play the game or be played,
trust if you must but watch the whisper that's next to your ear.
For this shadow, the simpleton can lead your mind into his truth.
The limbs have been burned
your control has been drawn but where has it gone?
The remaining roots of the past;
the light that still seeps in is pulling me outward,
but where is time?
Time to mend my soul
Time to get back
Time for time inside,
for it is time for control
to cover the hole.

This beautiful one, each leaf, each mark, what they are blinded
by may now see the truth and glamour that lays deep inside me.
For the key is the answer
The lock hidden from the cold,
Will bring me up,
My soul mended,
My dreams reality to face this hidden shadow
and soar to the spinning stars where my mind unwinds.


9


You touch me gently,
Sending my heart into a dream,
Where I'm immersed in your love,
Filled with your heart.
You smile at me, so shyly,
Opening my eyes to your beauty,
Astoundingly and wonderfully true,
So precious and captivating.
You whisper sweet words to me
Spinning my thoughts in circles,
Thinking of your soft lips
Kissing me with your gentle kiss.
You look into my eyes
With beautiful eyes that entwine
My thoughts and engulf my heart,
Setting my soul free as a dove.
You say, "I love you"
Capturing my heart,
Stealing my spirit,
Bestowing my heart.

POETRY: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DREAM OF BEING WITH YOU

We've riden the wind together.
It has taken us far,
and will,
as far as we want to go,
for long, for short,
for near, for far.
Do what we will
together or apart.

It has taken us through
water and snow,
winter and fall,
summer and spring,
through tough times,
and fun times.
It has blown through our hair,
and touched each one of us,
spent time wrapping around us.

It has sewn with us the seeds of
love, passion and feelings,
love, happiness and joy.

Will you keep riding this wind with me
for as long as it may blow?
Will you ride this wind with me,
and let our new seeds grow?
Will you come ride this wind with me, my love


2

As our bodies arise,
to the gentle silhouette of dawn.
We notice that our feelings of love,
have not been withdrawn.

The love grows stronger,
growing day by day.
Every morning and evening,
with gentle words we say.

One day we know,
this dream will come true.
The most beautiful dream,
of being with you.

I once wished on a star above,

For a person which I could love,

I wished that the person was someone so special and so true,

That the star granted me the person I found...

which was you.



4

Lost in the light of a silvery moon,
I feel hope floating down from afar.
Maybe my wish will be sent to me soon,
As I bathe in the wonder you are.
Trapped in this lifetime of troubles I know
Most things never turn out as planned.
Drawn and enchanted, I look from below
At a presence that few understand.

Lost in the light of a silvery moon,
As a magic upon me does shine.
A million love songs have sung to your tune,
Just maybe, the next one is mine.
I stand here tonight, as I share your delight,
Seeing beauty from darkness arise.
Forget not my heart as we once again part
And you slowly descend from the skies.



5

Lost in your eyes, engulfed in your charms.
Showered by your love, each time I'm wrapped in your arms.
Lonley, without you near me, so cold when we're apart,
but when you come around, you're sure to warm my heart.

The love you give means everything to me.
Without you I don't know where I'd be.
If I had to prove my love was true,
I'd start by giving the world to you.

Every morning I awake, yearning for your kiss.
Each night before I go to sleep,
I thank the Lord for a love like this.
I can't help but smile with each mention of your name,
hoping, across town, you're doing the same.

The love you give means everything to me.
Without you, I don't know where I'd be.
There will never come a day that you'll wonder if it's true,
that if I could... I'd be giving the world to you.


6

The seed of love
you've planted
in my heart....
Where I thought
none could survive.

Tiny roots spring forth,
surging, searching
for nourishment.
Breaking apart
the hardness there.

With tender care
you water it....
and watch it grow.
The long, strong stem
bursts upward
Fighting for life, and
finding your light.

A bud, so fragile,
so determined
Swells into fullness
filling my breast.
Green healing leaves
reach out,
Unfolding one by one
erasing our sadness.

Soft, pink petals
as loving as you..
Envelope my heart
finding completion.
Glowing moon and stars
dim in comparison
To the blossom
created by our love.

Her name was melody,
And she looked at me
Sometimes as if she'd like to eat me;
Soft and pretty in her Gown of Silverlight,
Her moonbeam kisses would claim me--

And when I took my violin,
My magician's Wand of Love,
She'd tell me quiet things to soothe me
And bring down my temperature--

Oh, but the fever for her was so hot!
On the stage I would undress her,
And at night on foreign balconies
I played myself
While the women of the otherworld wept . . .

And most often drunk, I would call her name,
Confused and thinking I saw her;
And all the rest would hush me,
Silent and subdued,
As I waited for her to return.

They thought I was sick... they did,
After all I did for them,
They had the nerve to patronize me--
Couldn't they see her naked, glorious--?

I had known her since childhood,
We had always been spiritual lovers;
She had a way of making me feel safe
Even when she chased my heart
Far into the dark corners of life.

And when I played my instrument for her
Before me she would dance;
Sometimes slow, then fast,
A floating belly dancer!

And into manhood did she lead me,
Gently guiding me as a lighted lantern,
Her voice a song to direct me,
Her luminescence bringing me towards ecstasy,
Towards an Ecstasy of Self.

Yes, this love of my being,
This gracious Muse of Life,
Once led me into Living,
Once took me far from strife.
But then the Lust of the World consumed me--
My darling came less and less often
Until my memory of her
Remained piercing like a chronic illness,
A remembrance of beauty
That claimed me so much like a pain
That I collapsed in loss and desire,
Lost without the power to reclaim her,
The Magic of my Memories!

And oh,
Didn't I learn to live without the sumptuous ability!
My instruments played hollow noises
Echoed harshly through dim towers;
The world did laugh and forget me--
I was quickly useless to the universe . . .

A forgotten melody.

But then, one day, my melody returned!
She stripped herself down to the truth of us:
Our Past;
She took my aging hands to her burning skin
And cooled my soul against her radiant flesh . . .

The mix of our love ignited passion,
Resounded the glory and promise of days I had thought were gone;
Irrevocable loss transformed between our ecstatic limbs
Into a Destiny of Grandeur!

She spoke to me ever so softly,
Her hungry exclamations shook my very center;
The world tightened and then exploded again
As her soul stretched to envelop mine . . .

"My love is manna from your heaven,
Darling,
My passion your fruit and sustenance.
Devour me and I am life to you;
Perpetuate me and live forever--
I am your soul . . . !"

And oh so gently,
She stroked my essence;
Her slender fingers gripped my conscience,
I felt my being molded and released,
As her lips caressed my face . . .

And then did she leave my bed,
Gliding like an angel into smoke,
Her glowing figure lost to vision,
Her fiery spirit trapped in me.

And when I clasped my violin to me,
The bow sang beneath my fingers,
The strings hummed with need for expression,
And so I freed them from their silence
And the instrument sang,
Sang to me like songs from above:
Choruses and Operas and Ballads of Life!

And when I opened my eyes to regard the world,
There again were the awe-struck and hungering crowds
Pelting me with flowers and with
Papyrus wishes for love and romance and satisfaction--

But there are grander things than worship,
Thought I.
And I looked across the crowds
In my fancy dress with violin;
I felt the grandeur fade--

And there in the balconies I saw her,
The glorious love of my life;
Around her stood strangers and mortals,
Beneath her swayed commoners and the lost hearts of men . . .
What I might have been!

But oh!, my Lady,
Did she smile at me,
Her lips sweet and honey-glazed,
Her eyes glowing soft and bright,
Her face shining down upon me--
Like the sun, that I might see!

And so I played my instrument for her,
A Serenade of Lovers;
And I heard her call my name--
A vision of light did she become,
And see her not, could any of them;
Mortals, unloved and lost and human,
In this world they owned no magic,
No Brilliance of Self, no Fables of Love.

And so did her blinding light come to me
Upon the stage of that great house,
As I madly played my violin:
A serenade of violent love--

"Calm yourself, my darling!",
Called my angel down to me, frantic;
"I would not lose your genius,
You are meant to play the stars--".

"But I would play them now!", I cried,
"I would knock the heavens down with this music, my love,
The very heavens that did send you,
They mean nothing to me but that I might
Show the universe my love--".

"But darling!", she cried, weeping,
Her face a blazing jewel filled with tears of diamonds, topaz,
Ruby- tragic sorrow-- ,
"Tear the heavens down and you shall lose me--
No mortal may challenge the heavens,
For they made both you and I,
And their power is all-encompassing--
You could not ever withstand their weight!"--

But I played, and how madly I played!
I forgot the crowds and the faces,
I discounted the heavens above--
And furiously, I played on . . .

And then my melody reached me,
I heard her sing sweetly in my soul
As she clasped me anxiously to her,
To cry against my skin--
Drenched in her tears did I feel feverish,
And enraptured I played on--
She pulled from me, but I did not notice,
I felt I burnt like fire,
I felt that life was gone--

And in a sudden madness of truth,
I realized my secret aim--

"My Melody," said I,
"My Melody, each note brings me closer to you!
Each note brings me straight to heaven;
Our love challenges the world, my darling,
And your tears disintegrate my mortality--"

And in a rush of fire and light
Did I feel myself recaptured in her embrace--
In this way did I become immortal
In this way was I no longer human--

The heavens sang as we transformed, into
Something more than we had ever been--
Our love, so grand, the truth of us
Was made a Story of Legend--

. . .

Remember this magnificent theater, children,
Where once a man played music from the angels?
Well such an angel loved him so,
So that the pair of them challenged the heavens
And now, as he plays, as they live forever,
The two of them shall play together . . .

What do they play?, ask the children,
Gazing up in wonder at the great, high ceiling,
Painted exquisitely with the great virtuoso
Who embraces triumphantly a great glowing
Angel of Light.

And the reply is an exclamation,
That echoes loftily high:
The stars, children . . .
They play the stars into eternity . . .

And perhaps there comes a simple smile
To the lips of the artist and his beloved .

Beauty travels so much farther,
Than only a layer of skin.
I see glimpses of the person inside you,
And love you for that's within.

Your eyes are so bright and lively,
Your smile so innocent and true.
But it?s the emotional connection between us,
That's always brought me back to you.

Whether sitting together beneath the stars,
Or talking til the wee hours of the morn...
I felt a closeness grow between us,
Something very special about to be born.

But you tell me friends is all we can be,
And my bleeding heart breaks in two.
Because now there's a void left within me,
That can only be filled by you

POETRY: I THIRST FOR YOU

love is life reborn
one life turned to another
living two lives as one


2

While I sit and write this poem,
I sit and think of you;
I have no notion who you are,
You?re someone I can?t view.

I?m confident you?re out there,
Beautiful and real;
Probably smiling and laughing with a friend,
Giggling over a meal.

I like to imagine, now and then,
Our daily conversation
Of work and life and kids and school,
And building a foundation.

How can we discuss such things so soon?
Are we moving too fast? Wait,
Now I remember, we?ve never met.
I can?t ask you for a date.

In my mind you?ll joke and wink,
And of course I?ll do the same.
This love affair I have with you
May bear the name... insane.


3

I have two hands to touch you,
As a sign I am there.
I have two arms to hug you,
As a sign I really care.
I have two eyes to watch you,
As a sign I know your there.
I have two legs to walk with you,
As a sign I'm always there by your side.


4

I crossed oceans and traveled to numerous cities
in search of a special love.
One who would fulfill the emptiness in my heart.

Trying to make dreams come true only created nightmares,
building relationships out of faceless, loneliness,
heading to deadend companionships.

I spent mindless years compromising my life for false love,
hurting only myself in the end.
Only to give up the ghost of hope, until now.

God allowed me to journey though the labyrinth of human frailties,
and then lead me into the corridors of light,
at that threshold stood you...
The spiritual soul mate I only dreamed of in the shadows of my mind.

I no longer had to travel, only open the door of my heart
to what GOD had sent me.
One filled with HIS spirit and sharing His word unselfishly...
Now I am able to understand loves completeness
sharing GOD'S spirit with you, my love.


5

When the wind comes swirling a fall palette of oak and paper birch,
And the breath of morning is a soft fog upon your lips,
The blessings of summer linger in your eyes and in your arms.

Then, when the shimmer of Winter's stars
Recast rough fields into pastures of soft blue silk,
I scratch your image on frost-crusted panes
And find you laughing in every icy reflection
And dancing at every hearth.

In Spring you are there in every verdant expectation,
In every budding promise,
There, in every reawaking stream
And in every captive sun drop, gleaming from its dewy prison.
You are there, too, gleefully present,
In the chorus of newborn voices impatiently tuning
For Summer's grand oratorio.

Then
Paced by the keen rhythms of our own desires
At last we dance,
You and I in the full radiance of the High Solstice,
Twirling in the buttery moonlight,

We;
Transformed, immortal, a new constellation gleaming in the night sky,
Twin diamonds set together,
Forever.


6

It's like...
I can still feel you
All around me
In everything I do
But the truth is- you're gone

You're gone
I wake up each morning
I stare into the waking sun
I see your beautiful face
You're smiling
It's like you're here

I make my way down the hallway
Tip-toe into the bathroom
Just in case you're in the shower
I'd peak in at you, surprize you
I'd tell you I love you
I still look for you

I go walking along the creek
Sit on the benches, feed the ducks
I can still see you, running to me
Down the hills, through the sprinklers
In your white shirt
I reach out to you with open arms
But I cannot seem to touch you

I go to the movies
Of course to see one that you'd love
I sit in the back, all alone
Well, not really
Because it feels like you're there, with me
But when I reach out to place my hand on your's
I come up empty handed

In the darkness, I still sit
At our special place, remember
The crickets, the stars
I still remember the way it felt
Holding you close to me
Your body
But you're not there with me anymore

At night, while I lay in bed
Before I fall fast asleep
I wrap my arms around you
I hold you tight
Then I see the truth
It's not you but only a pillow

With every second, minute, hour that passes
It feels like... I don't know
I lose a little bit more of you
When, really, you have been gone for so long
Our memories though, they kept you alive to me
But with time, memories fade
As will you

The saddest thing is
You're not dead at all
Actually you are alive and well
I am the one who is dead
Dead to you
And the hardest thing of all is...
I can't seem to kill you



7

What lies beyond the misty veil?

What moves beneath the watery skin?

What turns will let our love prevail?

Is fate the only synonym?


8



Dreaming
of you in
my life
in every
step I take...
In every move
I make to
reach you
where you are...
In my sincere
heart, patiently
waiting to see
your face...
To embrace you,
and feel the
warmth of
your arms...
To teach me
how to love
and please
you...
And how to
be lost in
your passion,
being tamed
for your pleasure...
Dreaming
of you, my
love and my
joy, I thirst
for you.

During the seasons though it constantly changes,
My love for you will always remain the same.
Even when people leave you high and dry,
You can always count on me. I am always by your side.
As you arise out of your bed in the morning, even as you lie
in your bed at night.
Your Sleep will be sweet, because I sustain you.
Unto you I promised to be faithful & true
Whatever you need
come unto me.
I will supply all of it according to my riches in glory.
Cast all your cares upon me, for you I care.
Wherever you go, I'll always be there.
Whatever problems you have don't solve it on your own,
Let me handle it for you, meanwhile stand strong.
Through the days and nights that passs by,
I will carry you. Truth I'll speak unto you, words of life.
Trust in me with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding.
I will instruct you and teach you into the way you're going.
I'll counsel and watch over you. Life with me will never be boring.
I'll turn your sorrow into joy, mourning into laughter.
I'll be your rock in the weary land,
The one who'll lend you a helping hand.
All that you need and ever wanted.
In me there's life and in abundance.
I'll be your hiding place.
Protecting you from all trouble,
surrounding you with songs of deliverance.
I'll be the one that you can spend time with
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
My Love Letter the Holy Word, in your heart let it always be there.
Let not your heart be troubled nor let it be afraid.
For trouble won't last always.
Every moment, hour, second, Here am I.
Wwith you, I'll never leave you. I'm always here,
Come unto me there's no need to hide.
Through it all, I'll always be with you.
Even when you're unfaithful, I'll remain true.
My love for you will never fail.
My will for you is that all goes well.

Nurtured fetal feelings conceived on lover's lips.
Blossomed florescence flowered from her countless kind kisses.
Those petals of sweet wine, from which this lover sips.
Oh, how I wish, above all other wishes,
for you my love, my midwife to be!
Extract these plausible emotions from my heart's womb,
for pride prevents their preferred birth.
Grant my grave sentiments life
?unrelenting and undying mirth?
and my ardent fervor shall never see its tomb

POETRY: I LOVE YOU AS THOUGHT YOU ARE A PART OF ME

Count how many stars there are in the sky.
Count how many grains of sand there are on the beach
And count how many gallons of water there are in the ocean.
Then I'll tell you how much I Love You!


2

What can I compare your beauty to
For nothing has it's grace
And I swear that this is tru
For the radiance of your face

Is perhaps like the blazing star
Who if beauty could would kill
Yet you seen even from afar
Are far more beautiful still

Even the sun blazing in the sky
A liquid pearl flowing honeydew
Would if it saw your beauty start to cry
For it is no match to you

Even compared to those above
The beautiful angels divine
You, you are the lovely dove
And they no more than swine



3


Love is water in your hands,
cupped to hold the brimming.
Love is steam when souls excite
to heights beyond believing.
Love is ice when lovers leave
and solitude is given.
I've known love as all of these.
My heart holds every token.



4


no amount of words
no matter how beautiful
no matter how intelligent
no matter how expressive
they may be
could ever describe the beauty
of being just with his beloved

this is a letter written in ink of love
on paper made of life
by the hand of someone
who is deeply in love
with someone who has resided
in his heart...

a someone who has the true key
to his heart
the master key to his doors...

a someone whose sadness he feels
whose pain he suffers
whose happiness he wishes
whose laughter he enjoys
whose smiles he cherishes
whose touches he craves
whose eyes he kisses
whose warm hands he holds
closely to his heart

whose presence he needs
real or virtual
here or away
now, then or in days to come
so much does he feel
that it scares his beloved so

the scars
which heal
so miraculously
just through looking,
watching, hearing...
feeling...loving...

the one that he looks forward to
at the beginning of day
the same one that he hates to leave
at the end of day...

tell him, dear someone,
that you have a someone too
a someone who is...
him...

words will never be fair
to describe the feelings he has for her
if only she knows what is within
or perhaps she has...
yet he?
he knows not
what lies inside
for words have remained unspoken...

as he gazes into her eyes
he sees what he needs
and he loves her so dearly
and he never wants her to go away

for the flowers have just bloomed
and the seedlings sprouted
and the spring water has just emerged
cooling the lands it flows through...
for her breezes have just arrived
to bring to the air
a love so true
a feeling that's new

if only she knew
how true is true
how blue is blue
how the grass looks greener as she walks through the fields
how the raving waves calm down as she sails through the waters
how the trees become shadier as she walks past them
how he feels so peaceful as he lays in her arms

as she touches his hand
with her fingers so smooth...
so endearingly sweet she is
and so rested he is...
being where she is...



5

It's just me and you walking hand in hand.
Nothing between us but our toes in the sand.
The ocean breeze blowing our hair, gently caressing our faces,
We are as one, now going more places.

From here to there and back again,
Knowing our love will never end.
The tides ebb is rising and the moon is at a great height.
It's now time to say, "I love you, my dear, sleep well, and good night."




6

Her perfect lips played a vibrant tune
A melodious sound to my failing heart
My ears were filled with a voice of peace
And she soothed me, I couldn't resist

Walking through the royal pathways
Towards the roads of eternal strength
Pleasure within... an endless pastime
Gratifying every desire of her heart

Like a rolling stone from mountaintop
She fell on me and sank deep into my heart
My thoughts consist of her every word
And she surrounds me with her love

Such a solid foundation of my trust
Revolving the orbit of my precious heart
Of course, I'm ever stoned in love with her
She's pitched her tent in my soul

East or west she always can be found
Conspicuously able to change my life
In every direction I'm safe in her arms
A never-failing compass of my life



7

I approached your palace many times
Though towers of high tranquility
Could never breach those ancient stones
Preserving your love's intensity.
Within those intricate marble halls
You keep your private pale possessions
Content, secure from male obsessions
Though some have scaled those frosted walls.
And I, most timid, have touched your soul
In the hours it enters that desolate space
Where I reside, to share the cold
Pervading my futile stillborn grace.
Behind your eyes lies more than friendship
But less than love in a stolen grip--
In kindness my mind has always known
The whispered intentions you might have shown;
For once I entered your placid slumber
Beyond the fortress desire maintains
And there discovered years beyond number
Where moments hide in the ruins that remain.
I left the darkness, my cage of night,
To enter your sleep and the mind's library
And recovered one instant of true serenity;
One moment of light
Where you might have loved me.

Silence.
Emptiness.
In the dark of the night
My body lies still,
Yet my thoughts run wild.
Passion.
Dreams.

Drifting.
Dreaming.
A familiar voice,
A memorized face.
Blurred images and unspoken messages.
Friendly.
Sensual.

Listening.
Touching.
A deep, rich voice whispers,
Gentle hands caress,
And everything within me stirs.
Dazzling.
Bliss.

Elusive.
Reaching.
The moment is fading.
The dream is disappearing.
I can't let go.
Frustrated.
Helpless.

Passion.
Dreams.
The passion lingers,
But the dream is gone.
Reality closes in around me.
Forbidden Passion.
Hopeless Dreams.

I love you with all of my heart;
with all of my soul;
and with all of my being.
I love you as though you are a part of me;
as though without you I could not survive;
and as though without you I would not be complete.

I'll love you 'til the end of time;
'til the blue birds no longer sing;
and 'til the green grass no longer grows.
I'll love you 'til my heart stops beating;
'til love no longer exists;
and 'til lovers are no longer lovers.

For everything you do, I do;
for everything you say, I say;
and everything you are, so am I.
So with every breath I have in me,
I'll love you 'til the end of time

POETRY: SHE WALKS IN MY DREAMS

Here in the middle, as you move,
your form excites me.
I am your love; I am my peace, and at peace.
My face here near your breast, this body feels
your heart and hears its tune,
calming me all at once and again,
soothing this brow, once furrowed
with deep grooved lines.

This day was filled with indifference and frustration,
a constant annoyance in our world.
However, here with you, lying here at this,
your abdomen, your shore, this beautiful place,
flat and deep as the ocean once more, once again,
not a ripple or a sense of danger, not here,
not ever.

Here in this middle, as I move,
floating, astral in form,
rocking in this your most beautiful ocean,
here where the sky is so bright, so clear,
no perception of where I am any longer,
the sun is nowhere to be seen,
no clouds and no earth,
not an island or mountain top to be seen.

You are the core, my wonder of this love,
this longing, this my island is here,
every day at this point near your breast,
and once again this our world, the one we create
and share, so deep with all the passion, so radiant,
fundamental as nature herself.

So deep is this new love, once more a new love,
a discovery of what this all is, I know you,
once more I find you and you me.
In this ocean of faces, we are together once more,
I find that your depths could crush me,
but I do not fear your love.
I await that moment when all the love
you provide will press at me, at all the angles of my compass.
I will succumb to you as a whole, and here once again,
this is the middle of all we need and have ever
desired and craved.

This taste of your lips, so tender and soft,
There is no illusion here, they consume the air I breath,
and floating here breathless like a meteorite, a shooting star,
across the night sky, filling all that is,
struggling to survive this, I find I need you, your calm wonder,
the noises you make, your sighs, as I close my eyes.
We replicate the waves as they break on the shores of this love,
breaking over me, over us, full of this rhythm, gently kissing the sands,
white tipped forever constant.

I know your shore where you crash against the rocks and the cliffs,
I have felt the anger of you there, your waves are the sighs of your breath,
exactly as that sound, the crashing is you against me,
and in the middle I have seen the storms,
where the water is a dark blue almost black.
No sky to be seen here, cold winds,
raindrops the size of a man's fist.

Ocean and sky meet, saline, salt water meets
natures own filter water, evaporated by the sun,
beautiful and sweet, and you and I once more
are here, in this place where you have kept me,
in the eye of the storm,
here in the marrow of love,
this the centre of my buoyancy,
this small circle of turquoise, the rock of our birthstone.

Tiny lines and colours of our rock,
assure us that we are as strong and unbreakable as it,
that these small fragments of my love,
where your warm breath comforts me here, near you,
in this place where we lie naked next to one another,
is the only place we will ever need.

Love was the reminder of all I have failed to obtain.
Only a memory left to haunt the halls of my heart.
Can one show me love?
It has been so long, can one go within my heart.

Love is always near... so near,
I breathe it in and pretend it is there.
I think it is time, I know all about love.
Oh, god, I see it has to happen,
don?t tell me love can?t be mine.

I know so little; though it is all that I live for.
But soon, everything that is love,
all the madness, will go for;
I finally said there is no love for me!!
Now I am alone.
The darkness engulfs me,

All that is lit is the unbeaten paths of my life.
I see the world full of love
that I will never know... all alone.
The walls of my heart being torn apart,
can my heart have any future.

The rain starts to fall,
and the moon's light breaks through the mist
The beams shine on a single flower,
reaching towards the light;
Out of the rain.

As I gaze into the heart of the flower,
There were no words to describe my envy of its courage.
In my life I had never backed down, I always reached out.
Soon, I had a heart mended by love, sweet love.
The night began and the moon shined full.
All one could do was to stare

Oh, my heart will be kicked, but it will never stay down
But, when it comes to love, the heart demands to be seen
Oh, the heart, the center of all emotion

Steam from my breathe drifted into the air,
fearless I walked on, for love never dies
My legs taking long strides,
I stepped into a puddle and saw her reflection there
I looked up,
One word from her lips came through,
All my beliefs were changed.

Now, all that was gone seems to be there, my soul is on fire.
The thought of her touch, and the hairs on my arm raise
On this night of a full moon, two hearts had never met like this,
Like two hands meeting to hold each other, we met.
To those who can see it; Love is alive, bringing me glory
We were simply passing bye and love burst in,
Love will never let us be the same

There is nothing I can say for words do no justice
I stammer for words
and all I can say does not convey the strength of my heart;
"I hope you know you are loved,
for god knows I love you,
love you for stopping the tears,
love you for causing the tears.

Enough to do anything for you, give my life, my love,
my heart and my soul to you and for you.
Enough to willingly give all my time, efforts, thoughts,
talents, trust and prayer to you.
Enough to want to protect you, care for you, listen to you
and cry to you and with you.
Enough to be completely comfortable with you, act silly
around you, never have to hide anything from you
and be myself with you.
I love you enough to share all my sentiments, dreams, goals,
fears, hopes and worries- my entire life with you.
Enough to want the best for you, to wish for your successes
and to hope for the fullfillment of all your endeavors.
Enough to keep my promises to you and pledge my loyalty
and faithfulness to you.
Enough to cherish your friendship, adore your personality,
respect your values, and see you for who you are.
I love you enough to fight for you, comprimise for you
and sacrifice myself for you if need be.
Enough to miss you incredibly when we're apart,
no matter what length of time it's for and regardless
of the distance...
Enough to believe in our relationship, to stand by it
through the worst of times, to have faith in our stength
as a couple and to never give up on us.
Enough to spend the rest of my life with you, be there
for you when you need me or want me and never ever
want to leave you or live without you. I Love You This Muc

In life there are many mysteries, we often have to question
Like the mysteries of creation, or the mysteries of the universe
The mysteries of mankind, the mysteries of romance.
I used to go through life often wondering
Just how the earth was created
What makes the grass so green, the sky so blue.
Were their stars in space before us
Did the sun and moon exist before time.
I used to think... how I would live my life
What would I be when I became a man
Where would I go in this life, what would I do when I got there.
Who would I meet along this journey
What kind of person would that be
Someone like me, I could only hope for
Someone like me, I have always dreamed of.
What words will be spoken to one another
When that one person comes along
What looks would be given, if they caught each other's eye.
A smile, or a simple hello is all it takes
To brighten someone's day
A gentle word, or a helping hand
These days can go a long, long way.
Still today and throughout the rest of time
We will often question the many mysteries
Of life's many wondrous miracles
For life itself is a many splendid miracle.
The world itself is a beautiful place
We, as society, often fail to notice that
For it is our sole responsibility
To cherish God's greatest creation.
Now with each passing day, I realize
It's not only where we go or who we become that matters
We should only be thankful to the Lord above
For the life, love, and world He has given us.
However, I believe love is not a mystery
For it is also a God given gift
It comes from deep within the heart
It shines from deep within the soul.
Now my journey still rolls on
But it is no longer alone now
For I have found someone to walk with me on this journey
I have found someone to share my life with.
She knows my thoughts, she knows my dreams
She gives me comfort when I feel pain
She has touched my heart, she entered my soul
She gives me love, so pure and whole.
For it is with her, I shall live my life
Together forever, we shall be
She is all I have ever dreamed of
For it is with her, my life is now complete.




5


Life, to me, is you
There's no stop to loving you
You're everything I need
You're everything I want
Every minute of thinking- is you
Always be mine
I'll always be yours
Life with you is more than everything
The way you make me feel
I close my eyes... all I see is you
Always on my mind
I'll love you forever
Because life, to me, is you.



6

She walks in my dreams on those dark lonely nights,
shining light in my heart once again.
I think of her over in fields, green with clover.
I want to run, hand in hand, in the wind.

I want to kiss and caress her and be her best friend.
I want to lend her my shoulder for crying.
I want to whisper sweet nothings, share her joy and her pain.
I want to laugh 'til we both feel like dying.

Come be my lover, my soul-mate, my friend,
let me share my love with your heart.
I'll love you forever, and when two become one,
it will be a romance I'd gladly impart




7


Your love is a rose,
still to bloom on a misty morn...

A creamy white rose,
that lies in your heart.

I await eagerly,

With hopeful eyes and a heart brimming with happiness
for the sun to shine
and give you life with a kiss of light,

I imagine how it would feel,

when petal by petal you open your heart...
How I would,
slowly, gently with the softest touch
hold the delicate rose in my hands...
How I would finger the satiny petals,
and inhale the first wisps of true love.
and ever so gently
I would place it in my heart,
and give mine to you.

Then all the birds would sing for us!
MY heart would soar,
free as a bird!
All the starry skies,
The bright full moons,
all the breathtaking sunsets of old will happen again for us!

THe world would be a stage,
set for us,
Two star-crossed lovers
To live our legacy,
and leave a legend behind
I await you with open arms...

To evaluate the difference between lust and love is my goal
To figure out if there is someone who can stimulate my soul
Lust is wanting something so badly
that your mind makes you think it's real
but when you encounter love, the thought of lust looses its appeal

The constant repitition of, "She loves me, she loves me not,"
starts to get old
Wondering if you truly love her is a story untold
You say, "I love you," but is that really true
Can your thought convey what you never knew

The feeling of a sincere look into your eyes,
being mesmerized unable to tell a lie
The feeling of a warm embrace being more than a hug
but an expression of devotion
When the remedy for pain is a simple kiss
instead of just a simple kiss

When the thought of losing her demolishes your spirit
When "I Love You" becomes more than something you say
But a contract between two lovers
allowing your souls to become as one
That's Love
I know it, because I feel it

Every day that we're together, every day that we're apart
It feels like I'm loving you for the first time
It's not just something you think about
It's something you have to know and feel
And I feel like I can love you till my last breath
and even then my last breath will be my testiomony
of love for you all over again




9

Eyes closed,
lips parted,
breaths mingling.
Hearts beating,
souls meeting,
becoming one.
Hearts pounding,
soft words spoken,
eyes searching
the other's face.
Two hearts
joined together,
never parting
always seeking.
Soft embrace,
gentle kisses,
longing sighs,
as we become one.



10

I stare longingly at the picture of you next to my bed,
as if I can almost see your soul.
I take one last look, then close my eyes,
so finally you and I can be one,
at least for the time in my mind.
I see us laughing and crying and wanting so much,
so much only love can bring.
But then I open my eyes, and your gone.
I'm left with only a picture

POETRY: HER SOUL

I caught a glimpse
of your soul
as I touched you inside.
I kissed your heart
ever so softly
and blessed you inside
with a love that will never die.
I could feel you
I could feel all of you.
Never
had I felt so safe,
secure,
than I had
in your arms
within your soul.
And never
will I feel that way,
ever,
with any one else.

I'm lost within a dream,
a waking dream, a day dream
where reality is not so real.
Where my chosen path has become mired and choked
with thorns of discontent and indifference.
This dream world of a cold, dark wood
chokes the breath of life
from my mind, body, soul, hopes and desires...
killing me in ways I may not even be aware of.

Yet, I keep walking this path...

I stretch my head up, hoping for the sweet smell
of fresh air to fill my being and find renewed strength.
As I look to the sky, I see something...

A dream within a dream?
It's magnificence blinds me, I look away,
fearing it may be gone
when I summon the courage to turn and face it.
Was it some magnificent bird?
A sign of life returning to this nightmarish wood?
An angel? Is Heaven sending one of its own to deliver me?

Scared and excited, I turn to face that which has shaken me
to the core ... and I am filled with awe.

No bird, real or fantastic, could have such brilliance and beauty.
Nor do I think any angel could be as stunning as what I behold.
I reach out to grasp it, but fail.
I long for its gentle touch to caress my cheek,
I know it could never be.
Then I realize... though my path is still cool and dark,
that the air is lighter, almost pleasing...
and a new warmth has covered me.

My feet still slip, but I walk my path with more confidence.
I begin to see new signs of life awaken before me,
and I realize the nightmare may end soon,
for the vision I see before me is lighting my way.
I see the majesty of the rising sun
in its royal robe of purple, orange, and gold
compel me forward and whisper to me saying...
"Peace to all..."
"Have hope... for it's a new day."
"Have faith... for I believe in you..."

Now I continue to walk my path, looking for a possible fork
to turn off.
Although there is none in sight,I smile,
for I will forever see the glow of the coming sun behind my eyes,
and feel the warmth on my heart.
When night comes and I rest, I dream of the morning,
bringing me comfort in the darkness.
I eagerly await the presence of that new day
to provide the inspiration that fuels me.
And with my new love, I long to once again bask
in the being of the dawn reborn.


3

A kiss
on the hand - like centuries ago
gentleman kiss thy lady's hand, so soft.
Angel wings brush against his back.
"Oh, gentle angel, may I love thee forever and ever?"

A kiss
on the arm - like lovers underneath the pale, blue sky
chills along her spine, like arrows in her heart.
Angel feathers fall softly on the floor.
"Oh, gentleman, love me forever and let me not shed a tear!"

A kiss
on the lips - soft, like the breeze in the morning
thy kiss so sweet, yet so powerfull.
Angel wings are opend wide,
"To have and to hold"
"And if I may pass away, clip my wings
and fly away!"


4

I close my eyes, I can still see your smile
As sweet as the day
I close my eyes when I go to sleep
I can still see your body next to me
Your back is to me, the curves of your hips, the shape of your back
All imprinted on my mind

I reach out and I can feel your soft skin
I feel your back- how warm it is,
How the goose bumps pop up
As I run my hand over your body
The way my hand glides, like a gentle breeze over your body,
Feeling you close to me

I close my eyes and still feel your hair
As it falls over me when you lay near me
The softness of each strand, like strands of silk
The kisses are still upon my lips
I close my eyes and you are there with me
Holding me, touching me... loving me


5

gazin into your eyes, the very windows to your soul, lookin through to see what our future may hold. your gorgeous hair flowin over your shoulders like rays of sun, both of us daydreamin of the day we will become one. that sweet seductive smile and the charm that goes along, that is i need to keep my heart beatin and strong. your cute laugh is like sweet music to my ears, the same sweet music that make my eyes water with joyous tears. rememberin all the times we had will always be in mind and engraved in my heart, these are all the qualities that made me fall for you from the start.


6

The constant stirring
in my soul
Takes me deep in thought
where you have control.

Whispers in my ear
of what might be.
Desiring to touch you
allowing myself set free.

Your bold, strong physique,
temptations in exotic dreams
Lifts me higher in you
with no remorse or scheme.

Alas, my love,
whenever the two shall meet-
Erotic satisfaction
awaiting your release.


7

love is...
laughing at each other
after a little argument
snuggling with each other
after a long hard day
ordering out chinese food
love is...
unforgetable


8

can imagine you loving me...
Like the wind,
like the wind.

Your soft caresses
And tumultous outrages,
Wild and free--
You are the wind,
you are the wind.

In my dreams you love me.
You love me like the wind.

As I stand alone in a storm,
The wind rushes up behind me
and kisses my neck tenderly.

It is you.
You are the wind



9

Her beauty exceeds that of angels,
From her eyes which sparkle like moonlight on the ocean,
To her lips soft and thin, yet so dark a crimson rose
Cannot hold a light to their beauty.

Her soul, so pure and enchanting,
It touches each life it encounters
With such an uplifting feeling that words cannot begin
To describe the impact it places on them all.

A friend who will never turn her back on you
Even when most others would,
She is truly a blessing to have in friendship.

One cannot help but to love her,
For she is everything one could want
And yet does not know it,
Which makes her all the more intriguing.

When she moves it is with such grace
That one?s head cannot help but to turn to see her.
When she dances it is with her soul,
Reflecting her beautiful spirit and all splendor that makes her unique,

In her eyes and on her face
You can see the state of ecstasy she is in,
Truly this is when she is happiest.

Her love for life is an inspiration to all,
How she finds a positive side to every downfall,
The way she finds light in the darkest places.

She is truly a humble spirit and an extraordinary woman,
With such a beautiful body to hold all of these qualities
Which make her so endearing.

She will always take precedence over everything in my life,
And this is a feeling and a promise I will never share with another,
For she is my one true love


10


Walk with me down the path..
In Love.
Talk with me about what you cannot say.
In love.
Laugh with me even when tears flow
In Love.
Cry with me, at times for reasons we do not know.
In love.
Share with me the beauty that is our life together.
In love.
Fight beside me, against the ugliness of the world.
In Love.
Create with me the dreams that shall become reality.
In Love.
Treasure with me the memories we shall create
In Love.

For every step, let there be a smile,
for every tear, let there be an embrace.
Each time we fall, we do not fall alone,
for we are together in dreams, in life.. In Love.



11

If only I can focus your eyes in me
And see that my eyes belong to you
If only I can focus your mind in me
And think that my thoughts are filled with you
In this way
You will know that I really exist in this world
Just for you?

If only I can touch your hair
And feel every single strand of it
If only I can touch your face
And feel the softness of your skin
In this way,
You will know how much I really
Care for you?

If only I can tell you my prayers
How each line is all about you
If only I can tell you I?m here
And always ready to give everything
In this way
You will know how much I really
Don?t want you alone?

If only I can get into your mind
And look at what?s really inside
If only I can get into your heart
And listen to what?s your heart beating sound
In this way
You will know how much I really
Feel worried about you?

If only I can be the one you can call
And hear the sadness in your voice
If only I can be the one at your side
And feel the warmth of your all
In this way
You will know how much I really
Want to be a part of you?

I never know why I easily fall for you?
But whatever the reason is
If you only knew that I think loving you is the greatest thing I can do.
Just to feel the magic of being loved by you!

I never know what?s in you that I let myself like you and love you?
But whatever it is
If you just let me
Please allow me to take care of you and love you!

POETRY:ENGLUFS

Consumed with the thought of your departure,
The savor of your lips fresh in my mouth.
Interrogating your eyes this evening,
I searched for your expectations of me.
The words you used were inconsistent
With the gaze in your eyes.
I knew I was isolated from your thoughts,
Yet my craving for your warmth
Pushed me forward.
Physically there was no challenge,
But mentally you were vague.
An allotment of my heart,
Thought you were my destiny.
If only I distinguished how pitiful I really was.
Your face is sketched into my mind and soul.
Soon the illusion of your affection for me
Will pass?

PART II

The softness of you
Engulfs my every want care or worry
-moreover,
Now, is mostly meaningful
For memory's sake.
It's your absence that I
Embrace.

The sweet look on your God-perfect
Lips-as they encrypt their
Brand on the inner recesses of
My mind with subtle kisses,
A most unkindly kind.

Filtered sunlight prances it's way upon
The folds of her hair,
And our communication is perfect
In the muted form,
It's the sweet silent speech
Of timeless time.

I sink in slowly,
Floating on these rays of light
Where even with my eyes closed
It's bright.
Closest to her in dark light,
She haunts my mind in the
Midsts of the night-
As I fade out of sight.

PART III

How can three simple words tell you what I feel inside?
The feeling is real and cannot be denied.
I want to say it, but will you believe me,
Or think I'm a fool who uses it too freely?
When I say it please know it's true,
'Cause I will always love you.

POETRY: SHE WOULD LAY HER HEAD UPON MY CHEST

Our lives are but a flash

Of fireworks in the sky,

The brief bloom of a flower

Alight on the Fourth of July.


PART II

I slowly drift off, thinking of nothing but you
your kiss, your touch, your lips, your everything.
You are my love, my life, my soul, you make me complete.
And I thank you for being you.
I love you, hun!

PART III

The thunder rumbles through the night
sounds like the beating of my heart
I don't like being here without you
I feel so alone when we're apart

Lightning flashes and lights the room
memories flashing through my mind
of warmth and love I feel for you
and love we'll never leave behind

The gentle rain is tapping on my window
as I am safe and nestled in your embrace
for storms never last when you're near
this special bond you can't replace

PART IV

If i could make some images into a dream
i would lay on the grass in the park,
on a beautiful day with her laying next to me;
singing softly into my ear.

As the sun would set,
she would lay her head upon my chest,
With the world of beauty in her eyes,
she would kiss me on my lips and send me to heaven,
so i can dream, blissfully, into the clouds

POETRY: WHAT SWEET MEMORY

My greatest treasure
is not made of silver,
it is not made of gold,
it is not made of jewels,
it is nothing that can be bought or sold.

My greatest treasure
is a girl, the most wonderful
I have ever met,
to give her my heart I will never regret.

She fills my life with happiness,
she is my life's light,
as long as she loves me
everything is alright.

She brings warmth into my cold life,
she has the power that I need to survive.
With her love she protects me,
I feel always secure,
I will love her forever, I am totally sure,
and someday, I promise, she will become my wife.

I want to share my life with her,
I want to see all good times and bad times
that life can bring together with her, even the
biggest problems will seem like a tiny, little thing.

Since I know her I am the happiest man,
and I want to give that feeling back to her
as good as I can.

She is the greatest treasure,
with a heart made of pure love and tenderness,
more precious than gold, jewels and any riches
in the world.

To love her is a pleasure,
I feel that I live and love,
but my feelings are only for her,
they are so strong and honest, not possible to measure

PART II

I possess a hungry heart,
A heart hungry for emotions,
Emotions pleasing me or those tearing me apart,
As this heart that burns
Is a poet?s heart!!!

A poet?s heart accepts morsels of misery,
It accepts the bites of betrayal,
Though money comes and goes,
This heart isn?t in a hurry,
Of withstanding hurdles, it is capable!!!!

The heart?s reporter is the poet?s pen,
Narrates how the heart felt, and when,
Be it Betrayal or be it Romance,
The poet?s heart knows to always sing and dance!!!
Because this is a poet?s heart,
And of constantly progressing, it knows the art,
With each new experience, a new poem does start,
New verses, emerging straight from the heart!!!

If a poet?s heart ceases to beat,
Then, of poetry, how shall the lamp be lit?
Some jingles of joy, some sagas of sorrow, that?s it,
This heart illuminates the dark lonely street,
It builds the bridge where the depressed and the smiles meet!!!
The poet?s heart itself goes through thicks and thins,
It then explains what life is, what it means,
Sadness doesn?t dishearten it,
Joy can?t sidetrack it,
It enjoys each sentiment, every flavour,
To illuminate the attitude of young hearts, it does endeavour,
It is a beacon of light,
It cleans others? vision and sight,
By being through the fire,
It makes our vision bright!!!

Thus a poet?s heart illuminates
The countless amateur slates
Of young inexperienced hearts.
The poet?s heart is
The Heaven Of All Hearts!!

PART III

I strike up a sentence, the melody starts,
Our minds, both as one, start to sway,
Enriched with the music we hear in our hearts,
Begins our sweet lover's ballet.

So light, so gentle, yet purposely placed,
We play out this secretive dance.
The ground we share keeps us light in the air,
In an atmosphere rich in romance.

I long for your side, wanting so to glide,
Through a slow motion lover's embrace.
To have you smile up at me, as I look down and see,
The beams illuminating from your face.

Long deep in the night, we both find our delight,
In the purity that makes us one.
Silver mist all around, we leap high from the ground,
As the music plays endlessly on.

Such heaven and hell, is this dance we know well,
Where both pleasure and pain at last meet.
As one we fly, as we soar so high,
Yet a thousand thorns lay 'neath our feet.

Together again, we are blind to this pain,
On this magical dream we do feed.
Two as one, we together, will dance on forever,
Doomed to fail, but to also succeed.

As in dreamland I drown, I see roses put down,
On a doorstep, along with a note.
As the mist starts to rise, I open my eyes,
I see clearly what you wrote.

Such sadness is shown, in these roses once grown,
As they land at your door a bouquet
While severed and bound, yet such beauty be found,
What sweet memory, our lover's ballet

POETRY: IN DREAM

As I watched the clouds today,
do you know what I saw?
I saw a cloud that looked like you,
reaching out for me
I tried to touch your hand,
but it just moved away
My arms were stretching up towards you, but,
the breeze blew them astray

I wanted you to touch my hand,
if only as a cloud
Then I would feel near to you,
but, no, it wasn't allowed
Then I saw you coming again,
moving very fast
The wind had picked me up
and, with you I was at last

The wind had blown us to and fro,
at last we were together
Intertwined, becoming one,
and floating as if feathers
The sky turned dark, tore us apart
and I started to cry
Why couldn't we stay together,
there in the clouds... in the sky?

PART II

Thinking about you a little more than I should,
you crawled into my heart a little farther than I thought you would...
Whenever I see you, my mind runs directly South,
and I will always remember the taste and feel of your mouth...

There's a special bond we are both aware of,
a special feeling we both protect and take care of...
It comes along but once in this life that we share,
in this lifetime that I have had, no other can compare...

Where do we go from here?

You can reach out and touch me with just your smile,
there's just something about you, your way and your style...
You're the only man who could ever kiss me with his eyes,
just a glance sends my soul soaring up through the skies...

With a touch of your hand my resistance melts away,
just a simple word from your lips makes me want to stay...
It's not the fact that you'll stay in my heart,
but the fact that you've been there right from the start...

Where do we go from here?

Our lives had always led us in opposite directions,
I can see clearly our mistakes, in reflection...
We can't change the past or predict what's yet to come,
just make the moments count until our time here is done...

There's no need for us to wallow in sorrow or regret,
because it's obvious to me that we're not done here yet...
Some circumstances may be a bit beyond control,
but good strong friendships can satisfy a loving soul...

Where do we go from here?

So, kiss me in your dreams and I'll meet you in mine,
it's the safest place for us to spend uninterrupted time...
and on the Riviera Paradise we'll both slowly drift away,
resting in each other's arms until the break of a new day...

and the tropical breezes that blow through our memories,
will keep us warm and smiling for all our own eternities...
For every moment we share can never be erased,
and the feeling each one brings will never be replaced...


PART III

In dreams you take my hand again,
Pull me close and laugh,
And all is as it was back then.

You gaze into my soul; love surrounds me,
Somehow quieting the pain in my heart,
A presence I've missed around me.

In dreams you yearn for me,
You know this emptiness I feel,
And how important a lover's touch can be.

Your hand upon my skin, your lips brushing mine,
In dreams these things are real again,
Until the end of time.

So, bring the evening's sweet caress and I'll no longer cry.
I'll meet you there tonight, my love...
In dreams, just you and I.

POETRY: SHE IS MY SUN

I'll visit you in my dreams,
in your dreams,
every night walking and longing
to hold you.
Every morning,
Every day, Forever.

PART II

My love for her is indescribable
I would take any torture for her

My life with her is like heaven on earth
My heart by hers is like the wonders of the world

If I could be one place right now I would be in her arms
If I could change one thing, it's that we were together
for all eternity

She is my sun
She is my moon

She is my love...

PART III

I loved so much,
the feel of your touch.
It's you I adore,
sorry I was a bore.
Gave you my heart and soul,
guess it made me lose control.
Thought I was in never-never land,
turned out to be a desert of desolate sand.
I couldn't give as much as I recieved,
sorry I wasn' what you believed.
I really tried to keep us going,
I should have asked instead of knowing.
Knew it all, that's what I thought,
knew nothing at all, I've been taught.
Court jester, and class clown,
all I've loved, I've let down.
I've given my life,
received nothing but strife.
Then came you,
like a light from above.
A guardian angel,
to hold and to love.

Felt the exquisit,
touch of love.
You were my venus,
my goddess of love.
Now venus has eclipsed,
concealed by mars.
The planet of anger,
hate and scars.
Mars needs healed,
so does hate.
Anger and fear,
they all relate.
Love is the cure for all the above.
to recreate intimacy, and feelings of love.
The universe is filled with planets and stars,
just as the heavens are filled with angels of love.
Live in hell, no love from above
found heaven on earth, peace and love.
That is gone now, back to hell
where no other angels dwell.
You know what hell's like, I've been there too
but it's nothing compared to what I've been through.
Your happiness is all that matters
if you're happier, happier without me.
Then let it be, you can be happier,
happier than me.

POETRY: ALL IMPRINTED ON MY MIND

Flying 'cross the miles to you
Propelling arrows straight to you
Arrows filled with love so true
Finding their mark within you

PART II

Everynight that arises, I dream of you.
Everytime I see you, I go wild with thoughts of us together.
Everytime I speak to you, I go blank.
It's not because you're popular or because everyone wants you.
It's because I want you.
I may flirt with others but they mean nothing.
You're extremely special, yet, we never really talk
My dreams of us together will never become a reality
but I wanted you to know how I felt.
I told you once before but I was told I was joking.
I truly meant it and still do.
For you, my dear, have the eyes of a queen,
the beauty of a goddess, and the heart of a mother
and for that... I love you.

PART III
I close my eyes, I can still see your smile
As sweet as the day
I close my eyes when I go to sleep
I can still see your body next to me
Your back is to me, the curves of your hips, the shape of your back
All imprinted on my mind

I reach out and I can feel your soft skin
I feel your back- how warm it is,
How the goose bumps pop up
As I run my hand over your body
The way my hand glides, like a gentle breeze over your body,
Feeling you close to me

I close my eyes and still feel your hair
As it falls over me when you lay near me
The softness of each strand, like strands of silk
The kisses are still upon my lips
I close my eyes and you are there with me
Holding me, touching me... loving me

POETRY: SLEEPLESS NIGHT

Each night in my life I tend to
dream, wondering what is to happen tomorrow.
I've fallen in love with the woman of my dreams.

I'm so sad, so lonely, why can't we be
together now? I'll give you the time
and space you need in life, just remember
I am here waiting for you.

You're not by my side, I can't sleep, I

can't dream. What am I to do without
your sweet love? Walking around the riverside
thinking so strongly on you, my love. Hold on to
faith, for we shall soon be together.

Through sleepless nights I dream of you,

wishing you were by my side.
I desire you so much, but remember my
love for you grows stronger each passing day.

Here I am in my lonely room
on my lonely bed, as day turns to night
and the summer birds turn to rest. I'll be here

dreaming of you as time slips by, so many
sleepless nights without you by my side.


2

Though I have never seen your face
I know it well, such mystical grace
Though I have never felt your kiss
I know it well, what heavenly bliss
Though I have never felt your gentle touch
I know it well, my ecstasy is much and gently such
Though I've never heard you whisper "I Love You"
I know this well, our bond deep and oh so true
Though we have never met face to face
We know our love is beyond that physical phase

You are my completion, where my all journeys end
You are my love, my life's course set to sail
You are all that is true, all that is pure
You love me for me, my splendor others never see
You love me so completly, I'm nothing if not satisfied
You love me with all my weakness, you restore my strength
You bring such peace, you cure my ills and sooth my soul
You bring such purity, your wind to my wings let me soar
You accept my love, and that allows me to grow

I love you for so many reasons, others will never believe!

Somewhere out in the world
Two souls left their minds out in the cold
Left their hearts to live without their souls

Somewhere out in the world
someone wrong is knocking on both their doors
From this world they will never recover

Around the globe a letter has arrived
from another
True love lost for another day
another life must walk away

What should have been
is left unfinished
left undone

Somewhere out in the world
there is a story of two left untold
She looks out her window
she doesn't see him

Soewhere out in the world
He searches into his memories
He doesn't see her

Another day passes
and they'll be okay
The sun fades into the night
The stars come out ever so bright

Somewhere out in the world
Two hearts lost in the twighlight
Two souls clinging to empty fate

Somewhere out in the world
Two strangers searching aimlessly for one another
As time pasess by
He begins to let her fade
She loses her grip to hold on

Somewhere out in the world
Distant wings reach out to wrap them

Somewhere out in the world
She hears his tender voice
calling out to her heart

Somewhere out in the world
He feels her sweet caress
touching his soul

Somwhere out in the world
they were brought closer together
by a force stronger than fate and destiny

Somewhere out in the world
They are brought to one another
by the truth they feel inside their hearts
they are brought together by a connection
from the heavens and the earth

Somewhere out in the world two hearts
Now stand as one

I'm Just A Simple Hopeless Romantic...

I'm just a simple, hopeless romantic,
Looking for love around every corner.
When it comes to love, i'm just a fanatic,
I fall in love so easy,
But they never seem to commit,
So it makes me so sick.
Why can't it be like a sad country love song?
But in real life it all goes wrong.
Why can't it be like a picture show?
Sometimes I just don't know.
Why do they go for looks instead of brains?
All we want is someone plain,
Not a fool, not a wimp,
Someone with a smile,
That could go on for miles,
Eyes that you can fall into,
And a sense of humor that is never through.
The art of flirting
Is so wonderful.
It's fun to talk,
Make jokes,
And walk.
Dancing is the best,
Getting close is the test.
As you can see, I'm just a simple, hopeless romantic...




5

I watch you from a distance..it?s the safest way...
as you subsist in your world, not so self-assured,
the ground beneath your feet succumbing to the weight
of all that is within you...
...and yet your back is straight.

You wish to be a scourge in this world of yours...
to level the sanctimonious constraints of those
who surround you and decimate those who negate you
and yet you are the elan vital which saves me
from the banalities of my world.

I long to see myself through your eyes...
to see my skin glistening in your immense heat,
to feel myself through your touch and feel
my malleable skin being shaped into submission,
to taste and take in the desire I exude
whenever you are near enough to take hold of.

For one ephemeral moment you belonged to only me,
a tragic representation of what might have been
had I the audacity to say ?I love you?,
and you the presence of mind to will it of me.



6

Once upon a lifetime I will find the one I love.
Someone to care, someone to adore, someone surely sent from above.

That someone will be my angel, my everlasting eternal flame.
He will warm my heart slowly, my soul he must tame.

This person must be perfect, attend my every need.
Adore me for who I am, into my heart he must read.

He must deliver into my soul, avoiding all of my faults.
Grasping at the good things, bringing my sadness to a halt.

He must light my life with joy, with every touch caress my soul.
He must make me feel wanted, my life his only goal.

When I look into his eyes I must see the eternal flame
That shines for our relationship, fighting for our name.

When I find that someone, the one with wanting eyes;
I will hold on religiously, I will never say my goodbyes.

For love is precious, it can be sharper than a knife.
So my last word to say is, guard it with your life.



7

Another day breaks; once again I feel the heat.
Slowly, the sun gracefully rises as it spreads its light.
Embracing my cold heart that waits for its return.
Bringing a promise of a new range of vision.

I was almost completely out of my head.
Then you came into my life, full speed.
Pounding the haven of love in a sound sleep.
Waking my silent yearning, wild and deep.

Your presence brings hope to my solitude.
Every time you smile you reinforce my fortitude.
The smile on my face depicts my undying affection.
My angel, you are my inspiration.



8

Each life is a path,
a road destine to eternity.
Eventually each path of life crosses the path of love.
Sometimes the paths become as one,
leading together to share eternity.
Other times, love is just an intersection,
in which love will always be there on your path,
but only something you have to overcome
to reach your destiny.

Sometimes I find myself asking where my path is leading me
Is it leading me anywhere.
Am I searching for a love that could never be,
or will my path cross love yet once again?

Each day as I make my way a little further down my path,
I wonder if I have taken the right one,
or will this be yet another blemish
added to my tattered path toward destiny?
How can I be sure I'm headed in the right direction,
I ask myself.
Only I get no answer,
Just The Silent Beating of My Heart.




9

Every day I ask myself the same question
Is there someone who will love me?
Is there someone who will always hug me, someone to believe in me
Someone to kiss me and love me unconditionally
Is there someone written in the stars, will this person stay?

Or, will this person be far away?
This person could be right in front of me, and I'd never even know it
He could be here all the time and never even show it
Some days it seems hopeless, like there is no one for me

Other days I am hopeful to find that special someone to be
The wait might be long but I guess I'll have to wait
I know someday it'll happen, someday it'll be fate
But everyday till then I'll keep asking myself and everyone

Is There Someone?


10

Sweet dreams mounted on moments not spent alone?
Lucid memories of one heart being your home?
A sensational fragrance you can smell seeping through pores?
Beating veins so strong you could swear they were yours?
These are all valid descriptions of love.

Remnants of reassurance sparked on his face?
Holy satisfaction purified through grace?
Beauty magnified in radiant fusions?
Reality set in place of granted illusions?
These are all plausible descriptions of love.

A heart pounding is more glorious than victory itself?
One weak body automatically creates unbearable stealth?
A hand locked in hand, instead of the waist?
Willing to wait forever for just one gratified taste?
These are all excellent descriptions of love.

Oceans of emotions overflowing the shore?
One thoughtful glare perks the want for more?
Two souls merged into one driven jolt?
Lightening strikes in unison with thunder bolts?
Are all perfect descriptions of your love.


11

Every time you're around me,
I long to reach out and touch you.
Every time your lips move,
I long to press mine against yours.
Every time your hands move,
I long to pull them into mine.
Every time the sun shines down,
I long to reach out and touch your beautiful, soft hair.
Every time I see you,
I long to be able to say you're mine.
Every time your arms open,
I long for them to be opening to me.
Every time your eyes look into mine,
I long for you to love me, the way I love you.
Every time you love someone,
I long for that someone to be me.
Every time you kiss,
I long for your kisses to belong to me.
Every time you do anything
I long for that anything to be mine.


12

you wait your whole life for that one kiss
that kiss can feel like a minute
but lasts in your heart for eternity
you wait your whole life for that one touch
that one touch can seem like eternal bliss
but last in your mind for a lifetime
you wait your whole life for your true love
your true love can stay with you till death
but your soulmate stays with you for eternity
i would stay with you for eternity



13

I have so much pain in my heart !
and I am not able to cry..
I had, once, so many dreams, so many hopes,
and today, everything is gone..

Waiting for that special person,
I spend my nights looking into the sky..
Not a single star is there
to brighten the way to follow ..to find him..

I have so much pain in my heart !
not a single person by my side
to see me cry... to comfort me in my lonely nights..

I have so much pain in my heart
and with me .. it will die..!!




14

What were the chances that we were ever to meet?
Is it an act of God , fate as some say, or a journey
We meet, thinking, "AH THIS IS THE ONE".
only for the razor edges of time to tear away the dream
and reveal the all too true picture!.
Do you turn away and say, "no I must find another.."
Do you stay..- It may get better, I won't be decieved -
this still frame of pain in my mind of time ..is only a
horrible illusion.!
What are the chances?



15


You are my heart and soul, every feeling I know.
You are my black and white, my darkness and my light.
You take away my fear, the only one I hold dear.
You cheer me up when times are blue, when no one else has a clue.

Our love for one another will keep us going, it will pull us through.

I want to care for you and always be there for you,
I want to be your shoulder to cry on, someone to rely upon,
I carry you when you can?t go on, I?ll be your back that?s strong.

Our love for one another will keep us going, it will pull us through.

We can take the world on, hand in hand,
We can forge a love that?s strong, a friendship that?ll never go wrong,
We can be happy and sad, but always glad,
We have each other, now and forever.

Our love for one another will keep us going, it will pull us through.

They may try to take us down to our death and drown,
They may try to tear us to shreds, a penalty we both will dread,
They can try to stir our problems and berate our happiness,
They can separate us in body, but never in soul, but...

Our love for one another will keep us going, it will pull us through.

Together we rule the world and the universe,
Together we are strong and will never let this bubble burst,
Together there's no evil to fight, let?s just step into the light,
Together forever isn?t a myth, because...

Our love for one another has kept us going, and it has pulled us through.

So wherever we go, wherever we're sent, remember our love will last,
it's too good to rent.
Till death do us part, the legend is true, as long as you love me
and I love you.
We will be together till the end of time your love and hope forever mine,
So remember when you read this, don?t be sad, I?m always here for you
no matter what, in mind, body, heart, spirit, soul.
Lovers eternal, friends it's true, you have me and I have you



16


While I sit and write this poem,
I sit and think of you;
I have no notion who you are,
You?re someone I can?t view.

I?m confident you?re out there,
Beautiful and real;
Probably smiling and laughing with a friend,
Giggling over a meal.

I like to imagine, now and then,
Our daily conversation
Of work and life and kids and school,
And building a foundation.

How can we discuss such things so soon?
Are we moving too fast? Wait,
Now I remember, we?ve never met.
I can?t ask you for a date.

In my mind you?ll joke and wink,
And of course I?ll do the same.
This love affair I have with you
May bear the name... insane.

POETRY: WHY CAN'T I RELINGUISH ALL THOUGHTS OF YOUR SENSUAL TOUCH?

It hurts to love someone and not have the feeling returned.
Even more so to have your body yearn
for them. More painful, seeing them slip away
because you didn't have the courage to express all you had to say.

If you love it set it free:
if it returns it's yours to keep,
if it remains away, it wasn't meant to be.

Don't frown: you never know who's falling in love with your smile,
or the twinkle in your eyes
as you let them know they're worth your while.

Tears, silent and throbbing, plunge for this unforgettable love...
Burning holes in my cheeks and piercing my heart
but, regret is unheard of.

What is this emptiness that rejects all thoughts of setting you free?
What is this blaze of torment you have compelled against me?

Time and time, why do I continue to fall?
What makes my heart crawl
to you even when I push you away?
Why can't I just go astray?

Will you ever realize
my love for you? When you recognize...
If I ran towards you, would you welcome me with open arms?
Or reject me and walk away... cause me more harm?

Why can't I relinquish all thoughts of your sensual touch?
Why do I still love you after the deep wound that you cut?

I adored you-
as if you were sent from above
and our anesthetized love is still loved
by me.



PART II

In my position, the best phrase to use is,
"Whatever happens, happens."
For if I tried to make something
happen the way I wanted it,
I would forever be tangled in a web of illusions.

You can't predict your future,
and you can't change your past.
Don't rush love and definitly
DO NOT let love rush you.

The more you rush,
the more it finds places to hide,
and you find yourself
standing there in a puddle of tears,

trying to tell yourself that things
will work out.
And the chances of that happening,
are very slim.

PART III

My eyes look at your beauty
And they like what they see,
But beauty can be deceiving.

My ears hear your voice
And they like what they hear,
But voices can be deceiving.

My nose smells your aroma
And it likes what it smells,
But scent can be deceiving.

My fingers touch your soft skin
And they like what they feel,
But sense of touch can be deceiving.

My lips kiss your sweet lips
And they like the intimacy,
But a kiss can be deceiving.

My heart desires you
And it always wants to be with you-
That is the one thing that cannot be ignored

PART IV
Merging Souls of Love and Passion
When we make sweet love
So long and true, we know
When our souls sing out
Our song of passion
Ring high to the Heavens

It is so brightly shown
I want to feel your love
For I want to confess my love to you

To hold you in my arms
To look you in the eyes
And I want to whisper to you, "I love you"
This I know in my heart

I look inside your soul, I see it flow
My love for you is true and infinite
So tender and so pure, I know
When our bodies merge into one union

The love that we have is so special
The love that we share is so strong
No matter what form we become
We are still together forevermore.

POETRY: EVERYTIME I LOOK AT YOU

Unlooked for- came thy love to me
While in my lonely reverie
No hope, nor dream did there abide
For joy in life so long denied

Then in my dark thy beauty shone
And waked my soul for thee alone
An angel?s touch was thy caress
When laid my head upon thy breast

Now silken skin and secret lips
Mere memories in my fingertips
Unlooked for- went thy love from me
And evermore I?ll long for thee

If in thy heart I cannot be
I wish thee love eternally

PART II

I can write about the Acropolis in Athens
As the sun goes down and the night chases on
It is so beautiful.
I could imagine the Taj Mahal
Ivory towers and crystal waters
It is surely beautiful

A baby's skin against it's woollen cover
Asleep, perfect as a doll
That is beautiful
And as warm rain flows through the forest canopy
Dark and wet, yet refreshing, exciting
A thing of beauty

A view, a scene, the sea on the beach foaming
A countryside trail, a high mountain range
Natural beauty
The red soil of Mars, the clear sky at night
A pearl in an oyster
To some, such beauty

I can think of others, the sound of soft music
The beat of a bird's wing
Listen to such beauty
The aroma of spice, ozone and the sea
The dark smell of sensuousness
Fantasize the beauty

To label beauty, to define its sheen and aura
Is impossible as clasping at air
But I have seen it; I have seen what it is
To rival and match, to outshine them all
So precious and deep, her eyes, my heart leaps
Her lips, her cheeks, flushed with prettiness

The small vibrations, slight quiver of her hand
The smooth undulations of form
I now know beauty, I have touched it and seen
And it's you, it's you .. you have touched my heart
And I will love you and care for you
Because you are total beauty inside and out

PART III

when the world falls down upon you
your sunshine turns to rain
all the love within my heart
shall wash away your pain

when the darkness creeps upon you
your blue skies fill with gray
all the passion my heart shines
shall bring a brighter day

PART IV

The truth is: love to me is unknown.
My heart has been broken so many times
I have forgotten the meaning of the word LOVE.
So, I take my time reading poems and verses
Trying to find some meaning to what I feel
...But I come up with nothing.
Nothing because that?s how I feel
Like there?s nothing in my heart, nothing left to feel.

But somehow, someway,
every time I look at u,
hear your voice,
think about you,
or even hear your name,
I feel something in my heart.

Is it LOVE? I hope so because you're special to me.
We haven?t known each other long but that?s beside the matter.
The matter is- that you are entering a place
That to most people it might take many years to achieve,
...MY HEART.

But you seem so far away from me.
I have to wake up everyday and face reality.
But reality really doesn?t matter any more- because I have you.
Even if you are far away from me
I know in my heart, deep down inside, you?re here with me.

So, is this love or just foolishness?
I have no idea- but it's what I?m feeling.
So, I leave you with these thoughts
In hopes you?ll answer back
And help me figure out what I?m felling inside.


PART V

An image in my mind
overflowed into a world of hurt,
reality struck me all at one time.
Something that seemed so real
was just a figment of my imagination
because I wanted it to be.
What I thought could be everlasting love
turned to be everlasting hurt.
:::::
Loneliness is so very unkind
it can hit you fast,
it will leave you blind.
Once you realize you are all alone,
you try to think of all the things
you've done wrong.
I am a lost lonely soul flying far far away
searching for my lost happy days...


PART VI

Things never seem to work out the way you want them to.
You're so close to loving someone and being happy,
But then something has to happen that alters all your plans
And ruins everything.
To me it really doesn't seem fair to get all your hopes bulit up
Then they get crushed, it's heartbreaking and earth shattering
And to put it in more simple terms...
IT SUCKS!!!!!!!
You know i'm starting to belive maybe not falling in love would
Be a lot easier, and less painful.
But then again, just because i have gotten my heartbroken
A couple of times doesn't meen the next time I fall in love
It won't be easier, and it won't be different.
Who knows, maybe even the next time everthing will go well
And you know why I'm willing to try?
Because to me love is a risk, and it's a risk i'm willing
To take until I fall in love eternally!!!
