POETRY: GIVING YOU MY HEART

A sunset is perfect in every way,
It warms your heart and sets your soul free.
You are my sunset.
A wildflower is very beautiful.
The texture of the flower is soft and silk like,
When one looks at the flower they fall in love with it,
They fall in love with it, they desire it.
You are my wildflower.
A waterfall is magnificent.
The water is cool and soothing,
This water refreshes your heart and soul.
You are the water in the waterfall called,
My heart.

When a man meets a woman,
There are question marks on the heart.
The exchanges of communication,
Is what livens up the start.

When a man makes her smile,
He feels good seeing her pretty teeth.
Wondering what's next to come,
And knowing that what matters lies beneath.

When a man looks into her eyes,
At the same time she looks right back.
Invisible rays of positivenes, happiness and comfort,
Is what makes the two attract.

When a man is alone in his thoughts,
Vision of her run through his head.
Sad because he is alone,
When he'd rather be with her instead.

When a man sings her favorite song,
If often sends chills down her spine.
Singing with feeling and emotion,
Making her feel so, so, so fine.

3

I'm begining to wonder if my tears will ever dry. 
If I'll ever see another sunset the way I saw it with you.
How many times I have awoken to touch your sleeping face
and found only... your memories.
Was I only dreaming? Longing for something I never deserved to have?
Yet it can not be! For when I close my eyes,
I am taken away to a beautiful place.
Where mermaids play and pixies dance,
and the wind carries the sweet smell of roses.
The sun sets slowly and as the wind carresses my skin; 
you are there...
In the moonlight you touch my cheek, so softly and sweetly;
wanted and waited for...
I could die in your arms with nothing left to ask for...
But when I open my eyes, I am alone...
Though in my endless night... we still share the moon.

4

I could enjoy your company and even just the presence of your smile-
But only time can give this to me, I have to wait a while-

I may have to sleep alone for 1,000 nights-
Or even compete for you in 1,000 fights-

I may have to think a billion thoughts 
Just to find an answer to one single question of mine-

And my questions come in millions, so the only answers I'll find-
will be found with time...

It took only a quick second to fall for you after I met you-
But it will take an eternity of lifetimes to forget you-

It may take years to unite our love- controlled only by fate
But to see you and I together in time... I shall wait!

5

My wish is to have you.
My wish is to be with you, 
not just for tonight, but forever.

My wish is to wake up & see you next to me.
My wish is to hold you in my arms & never let you go.
My wish is to have you by my side each day.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
never make feel unsafe when you are by me.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
never break your heart.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
always do my very best to make sure 
that lovely smile of yours will shine until the end of time.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
always share all of my thoughts 
with the woman that I love so much.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
be making love to you each night.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
always be your treasure.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
be with you.

My wish is to promise you that 
my love will never end.

My wish is to promise you that I will 
never leave you alone.

There are
moments within
This moment called life.
Moments within moments
Of momentous occasion,
Where the wheels of life
Turn in an unusual
Fashion... 

There are
Moments of light;
A brilliance that sings
Through the blackness
Like gods of joy. 
A beauty beyond knowing,
But not beyond
Awe...

There are
People of portent;
People who guide us
Just by their presence.
Prophets and Seers
Who speak of the heart
And teach by
Example...

Be my
Wheel... upon which my life turns.

Be my
Light... by which I see the beauty of existence.

Be my
Seer... and show my future through the love in
Your eyes.

7

If only you were able to see
The love light that shines in my eyes
Maybe then yoy would know
How my love foryou
Reaches into the depths of my soul.
If only you were able to see
The tears that I've shed
Maybe then you would know
How my heart aches
And longs for the times since past.
If only you were able to see
The look that exists on my face
Maybe then you would know
The pain I try to hide
And how I pretend that all is well
If only you were aware of these things
From your own point of view
Then you would know
The feeling I try to express
Belong only to you.

8

I am not the only one to gaze upon your beauty
Others share the feel and smell of your temptuous touch
But at times like this, that I see the ominous power of you over me
I wonder if they feel as much?
Is it possible that I am in love with you
as a heart felt emotion?
Surely no others could share (except the seekers of some lovers potion)
the unrequitted awe, and respect, the sentimental notion
that you are here for only me, my beloved,
my ocean.

9

You command my sun to rise.
You seize my breath with thine eyes.
You now have my heart to keep.
You deprive me of all sleep.
You make each day worth all the pain.
You talk to me and keep me sane.
To me you are so many things.
My friend, My Love, My Everything.

10

Passion flew
like never ending streams
as I wrapped myself around you
wondering where this love would lead.
My heart rapidly beat,
my soul knew relief,
in swift succession
I began to witness
where horizon and ocean meets.

The soft breeze
of the ambiance caressed
as the shot of cupid's arrow,
skillfully sharpened, yet soft,
pierced through me.
Are these feelings real,
would this zeal set me free?
With more life to live,
and more passion to give,
Is this imagination the ideal?

Then the dusk
gave way to the dawn,
And, in the bright light of the morning,
I saw in your eyes
the sudden rise of the sun.
And the day,
filled with pure clouds,
loudly called
till I became assured that
this whirlwind of passion is for real.

11

If I gave you my heart,
would I fall apart?
Could you hold it close?
Would you love it the most?

If I gave you my heart,
Would it break apart?
Could you keep it forever?
Would you hold it together?

If I gave you my heart,
Would you give me your heart?
Could we be like one?
Would you let it be done?

12

I am so much in love with you, that there are no boundries.
After falling in love with you, I realized 
you are the passion of my life 
and I have no restriction over stealing your heart 
and making you part of my life.
Whenever I stand under the dark skies,
I get a glimpse of your face while looking at the bright moon 
and I wonder to myself, where will life take me...
and when will we be together forever.

POETRY: HOLDING YOU

Just along the beach one night
two shadows emerged in the moonlight.
Yes, they were yours and mine...
Calmness of the night we're tryin' to find!

My hands you held tight,
afterwards, placed them on your heart.
I realized then sweetheart
when at your side... don't wanna be apart!

In the solemness...our eyes met
no nights could be this great.
Then IN YOUR ARMS you held me tight
and you said "Honey, everythin' will be alright!

Then our hearts started to beat faster
As we held.... each other
I'll never feel happier

2

Sometimes when I'm alone and lost in thought
And all the world seems so far away
You come to me in a dream
Filling my soul with the warmth of your presence
And I smile knowing that though we can't be together every day,
But we're always close in thought.


3

I sometimes picture that moment of still
when I look closely and begin to fill
How long would I stay and feel your touch
How long would I weep and miss you much
There are so many words that have not been spoken
and, yet, hate-drawn tears that won't fall and be broken

If I spoke would you hear me through the crisp, cold air
Would you feel my touch, my voice, I will always be there
Would tears fall from your eyes if I longed for your kiss
or would you be weep not for me, and watch me with bliss
What would I do, I ask myself so
I possess no love now and no place to go
Would you guide me through the pain and sorrow
Would you help me see meaning in tomorrow
Could I tell you about all the times I had adored
Could you hear my cries in the night as I screamed and mourned
Would you kiss the wind that blew in my face
Would you fly my dreams to a special place
Would you hug the air that keeps me cold
Could you read parts of my life that I did not unfold
Could you see just how much I love you
Could you see how much I was faithful and true
How could you leave me here all by myself
with no one to hold and much love withheld
Would you cure the aches that dwell in my heart
Would you follow the God that tore us apart
Before you went would you picture me
together forever in eternity.
Before you went would you fight for our love
Would you hold onto life and fight the above

Before you leave me and go far away
there is something for you that I have to say

Weep not my love, for I am on the way
I loved you here and now and I'll love you every day


4

Looking deep into your eyes
my heart is lost in time
I'm captivated by them
enchanted by their beautiful glow

The way you laugh
that little giggle
gives me infinite joy
like music to my ears

I knew it was love
that night when we met
our eyes focused on each other
as I quickly fell in love with you

Now we are together
and nothing could be better
my love for you runs very deep
and it will last forever...



5

Only You...
make me feel the way you do.
give me love so True.
have this awesome effect on me.
make me feel like someone "New".

Only You...
are the one I love so dearly.
make our love look clearly.
I Cherish unlike anything else.
make me feel like myself.

Only You...
I want to be with forever.
I Endeavor.
I want to grow old with.
I love and that's no Myth!


6

Each time I'm with you- it still isn't enough.
Each hug we share, each time we kiss,
My love for you is not fully expressed... it can't be.

I love you beyond your face,
Beyond your smile, beyond you body.
I love everything about you,
I love your heart.

This love I feel inside
is like no other I have ever felt before.
This one is so special, so magical.
Each time I look at you
I see a handsome face with a gorgeous heart.
The longer I look at you,
the more I know I am loved.

Each gentle kiss drives me crazy,
each hug makes me want to cry-
because I know what we have is so precious,
and I am so blessed to have you to hold.

I love you more than words,
more than there are stars in the sky.
But as long as Pegasus flies in the night sky
and ss long as Orion stands proud above the world,
I will love you.


7

To you, my heart... I completely render.
For thus, I give it, though bruised and tender.
A fool perhaps am I, the sender.
But how shall we proceed... without a lender?
Hence, in courage, I aptly surrender.
And submerge my soul to all the splendor.

We ebb and flow, as waves at sea.
To you, my heart... doth always plea.
I lay it barren... for this cause of 'we.'
And thus to caution... I bow no knee.
Logic, through reason, we do not heed.
Perhaps, to do so... we first must bleed.

Resilience, to others, we daily show.
Upon our faces... they see such glow.
For closer each day, they observe us grow.
In them, belief in love?... we cause to flow.


8

Share your dreams with me, so they can be mine too. Let me be there to help them come true.  Tell me your fears and when you're afraid Come to my arms and I'll wish them away.  Confide in me, you can trust me, I will protect you with my care.  My shoulder is yours to cry on, You can shed all of your tears.  Whenever you need someone to talk to, You can rely on me to be there.  When you are happy, and when you are sad, I will never leave you alone.  Love can mean many things, I know it is love I feel for you.

He touched two fingers
To his lips
As he brought
His trumpet
Up to blow
Blew right through
Her fingertips
To the tips
Of her toes
Had them tapping
Ever so softly
To his cylindrical sound
Sophisticated sequences
Emanating so eloquently
From his round
Fingering her senses
With staccatos
And legatos
So effortlessly
They wound
Eyes closed
Fingers popping
To its brassy beat
Dampening her clothes
Be-bopping
Swaying in its heat
This mesmerizing
Timbre of
Incessant trills and rips
Resounding so vividly
On her tympanic
Through her hips
His melody
Reverberating
So salaciously
In her air
Had her
Floating
Ever so lightly
On the edge
Of her chair
Feeling it
Dribble down
Her cheek
To the rim of parted lips…
Lingering on every note
Of his melody
She sips…and sips…and sips


10

i sit and stare at the starry sky
the moon just a crest, but shining so bright
i pull my knees up close to me
and get lost in a dream of just you and me
i feel you so close as i close my eyes
as if this dream has just come alive
i can feel the wind as it whispers in my ear
telling me now that you must be near
the night air engulfs me much like your arms
i know with you here i'm safe from all harm
the light from the moon as it caresses my face
feels like tiny kisses that you gently place
a star in the sky shining so bright
is the one that holds my dreams tonight
it tells me what i already know
that we share a love that will only grow



11

Love is in the river
flowing towards the sea,
stops by all the flowers
and, behold, by you and me.

As we share our love on the banks
we tell the river to see,
to take it to the ocean
holding you and me.

It will tell the story of love
created so that everyone can see,
the love that was shared between
you an me.

The river will finally get to the ocean
to spread my love for thee,
for everyone knows of our love now
cause it's traveled towards the sea.

It will flow in the ocean cause of you and me,
it will sparkle as the sun shines.
It will glimmer as the moon glows,
it will fly in the air as the wind blows.

It is as soft as the sand,
as bright as the stars.
It is as strong as the tide
when is time to flow.

It will never die
for the ocean is where it lives.
It will always be its home
for our love will forever live.


12

Love saves in turbulent times
of life's unpredictable moments
And rescues from dangers
of life's undetectable changes
Love reveals lost identity
in figment of imaginations
And traces elapsed memories
in lonely pools of sadness
Love delivers from insidious enemies
in perfidious paths of life
And fills the souls with
endless possibilities beyond mind's eye
Love fills the heart with
indestructible pride and boldness
And revives the forgotten
hopes and dreams before its dawn
Love is all we ever live
to desire and aspire
To transform our hearts in life's
diverse streams of pain and pleasure

POETRY: I WISH WE COULD STAY LIKE THIS....

The sweep, the rush
The wind of your presence in my life.
You came with such clarity, 
and without purpose.
With intense grace, without a plan.

And now I am carried away in the gusts, 
No, building driving wind of your love. 
The earth shakes, the world changes,
But you are still clear, pure, 
transparently honest to me, and I to you.

The mist, the hint of a shadow, 
creeping between us,
I will resist with my entire being.
Never have I had such a connection, 
and never again will I seek it.

For with you I am complete, 
alive within all of my being.
My hands, my heart, my mind, 
are yours to treasure or 
dash on the cliffs of love unfulfilled

2

Passion
Like a burning flame, burns for your voice.
The power to consume your love
Fills the mind with desire.
The truth within, steps up.
You still see clearly.
Clearly you're mind is no longer a fog.
The rain is gone.
As if,
My love for you yet again has filled my mind.

3

In love springs hope
eternal in my mind
Though dreaming such
is a diversion
From routine's ways
Yet in love I seek
my progress
To escape this dull
dying and -
Seeking love's discovery
Come alive again

In love is my salvation
escaping from deadly
Descent into boredom's
banality
Here in this place
of passion regenerated
I come alive
Reborn in the youth
of life
Each sound a storm
of living
Each gentle touch
a surge of creativity
And in such love
I am alive 
Again

In love, and only
here
There is hope
Rejuvenation
In the pursuit
of life's renewal
In children
and in passion
Of discovering
each other
In the loving
of intimacy
Throwing off the
shroud of convention
In seeking hope
in love's heart
And in so
being
Hope is love

Of silky waters awash with blues
Immortal earth's heavenly hues
Beauty lay upon seductive seas
Glimmered ripples play upon the breeze

Beyond the ribboned colors of red
Where city lights dare not tread
Radiant sparkles glitter above
A blackness broken by pearl doves

My gaze rests upon your eyes
Luminescent stars in midnight's sky
As your stare pierces into my heart
The melody of a soul's lonely art

Growth brings you new beauty and fears
And with new years will come new tears
Yet those closest will hold you high
When not much else to do but cry

Your beauty of heart exceeds the skin
A light spreads to others from within
I ask you for one descriptive word
Appropriate aren't any I've heard

With you my thoughts I will share
Easy you are with heaven to compare
Its heights, like yours, never conceived
To find a soul so pure I never believed

Parallel are you to all so pure
The aura about you offers its cure
If fortune and future shall allow to be
I wish your light closer to me

5

When I go to bed every night,
I see your face,
It helps me go to sleep
full of grace.
Even if we are apart,
I know this to be true:
Even if you are not thinking of me,
I'm thinking of and loving you....

6

I wanted to talk to you and tell you how I feel.
I wanted you to know that your love has 
opened up a whole new world for me.
When I see you, my heart skips a beat, 
I lose my breath and all but fall to my feet.
When you touch me, it makes me weak to my knees.
Once before I thought I knew love, but that wasn't the case.
I could never feel this strongly about another soul.
Your eyes, your smile- 
everything about you seems to be perfect to me.
There's nothing about you I'd change.
I try to find the words to explain how I feel,
but no words can explain something so real.
So let me just say one thing before I go,
I'll love you forever, 
I just thought I should tell you so. 

7

The night was long,
The sky was dark.
Dancing hand in hand,
To my favorite song.
Your touch so soft,
Your taste so sweet.
We move together,
Hands to feet.
I wish we could stay like this,
Every minute...
Every hour....
Forever

8

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.

9

I've longed for a place 
Where I can find a peaceful calm
Within the chaos of my mind.
Please allow me to lie in your arms
and rest my weary head.
~~~~~~~~
Surrounded by the warmth of your embrace,
Enveloped in our love 
Keeps all my heartache at a distance
Outside the realm of us.
I can find relief and be assured 
The mind may find inner tranquillity
Where all sorrows may be dispelled.
~~~~~~~~~
This quest has been concluded
Where I have discovered such a place...
~~~~~~~~~
Nestled in your arms
Lying against your breast
A rhythmic melody can be heard 
This tune soothes my restless heart
I have found my serenity
While wrapped in my lovers arms.

10

There is a place I must face
across the lake so blue.
The distant hills my heart it fills
as one so lovely as you.
My love pours out in thought and feelings true,
as I paint this picture of you

11

Will you come dance with me,
along the shore.
Will you please?
Dance like a summer breeze.
Sing a ballad to my heart,
to pierce it fiercely like a dart.
The stars will dance the moon will sing,
as the chapel bell rings.
We'll dance forever,
till the break of dawn.
We'll dance until we feel withdrawn.
the sound of silence embraces the night,
as we embrace in a simmering flight.
A flight of chance,
to begin romance.
As the song dies down,
there is no frown.
For we are happy in the ending night.

12

For a moment
I knew you 
without fear

For a moment
I stepped closer
and shed a single tear

For a moment
I saw my entire future
in your soft spoken promise

For a moment 
I felt love
with a stranger,
with a well known lover,
with my past,
with my destiny.

and then an eagle soared above,
transmitting his energy
through me
and one moment has since endured,
the moment I loved my self,
who I will always be,
and what within will grow.

it is now that I know
not to yearn 
for a moment
or remember
for a moment
or savor a moment

because one day will come
when I will love
for ever

and that day will come to me,
so long as I am free,
from a moment.
