My love for you has no boundaries or secrets

My Love For You

My love for you has no boundaries
or secrets.
It's in my essence,
devouring the fiber of my being
and is devoted to you alone.

My love for you reaches far and wide
and travels through
the four seasons,
the four corners of the earth
and far beyond space and time.

My love for you is a journey of
lofty mountain tops,
beautiful gardens,
deep seas,
blue lakes,
rivers and streams.
My love for you consumes my heart.

My love for you soars beyond the edge of the world,
up into the sky,
through the clouds,
past the sun,
the stars,
the moon,
the heavens,
and the galaxy
searching for you,
my love,
to tell you how much I care.

My love for you is the totality
of all existing things.
My love, I Love You.

Remember This Remember Me

Remember This Remember Me


Do you remember the first day,
we saw each other?
We laid eyes and couldn't look away.
Before we knew it,
we were together.
We shared memories,
I'll never forget... (never)
I loved you with all my heart,
you were there for me always.
Now it doesn't matter,
because you're not here anymore.
I want you to remember,
I'm thinking of you.
Always remember me,
Always remember what we shared.
I know I'll never forget,
every moment we shared.
To tell you the truth,
I still love you...(forever)

I saw you tonight

Tonight


I saw you tonight
And things fell into place
As I saw that look
Upon your face.
I realized tonight
Just how much I care
As I lay here knowing
I'm here and you're there.
I lay here tonight
And think of you
I think of my pain
And what we've been through
I can't figure out
Where things went wrong.
What did I do?
Where did this anger come from?
To see you once more tonight
Would be a dream come true.
Just one more moment
And I'd no longer be blue.
We could figure out
A solution to all this
Come to a resolution
And seal it with a kiss.

Love is a Storm

Love is a Storm


As the thunder cracks,
it echoes the sound of my heart when I see you
The wind carries your scent across the land
to the very place I stand

As the storm gets closer,
I feel the same sense of excitement as when you move towards me
The trees begin to bend with the grace that moves you
Lightning from the storm strikes with the intensity of my love
The rain begins to fall and brings thoughts of you
from time past and what will be...

And as the storm passes and leaves the land refreshed,
I feel a renewed love for you
The power of the storm gives me an understanding
of what our love is
And each storm stirs and intensifies the senses of our love
...as it grows

My Love

My Love


The words you whisper to me,
are so soft and so dear.
The sound of your voice,
is like sweet thoughts in my ear.

Your scent melts my body,
like ice on a hot day.
Your touch sends chills down my body,
like the first time I met you.

You are everything to me,
my life; my destiny,
and most of all,
you complete me...

Our flight of love

Our flight of love.


You are my entire being,
The world in which I stand.
The strength which enriches me,
Please take me by the hand.

And lead me to our paradise,
soft words you'll whisper to me,
Hold me tight within your arms,
and let our hearts fly free.

Dreams

Dreams

There is something inside of me
That won't let you go
My mind keeps telling me "get over it"
My heart keeps saying no
I go to sleep at night
All I do is dream of you
These feelings inside of me
Leave me so confused
You see, we live in different worlds
Yours is big and mine is small
If someone was to ask you about me
You would know nothing at all
It's like I watch you from a distance
I watch your ups and downs
I smile when you're happy
I feel bad when I see you frown
I clap when you are rewarded
I scream when you sing your songs
I'd go anywhere to help you out
I have been a fan, for so long
Does that make me a teeny-bopper
When I go insane
My heart is devoted to a guy
Who doesn't know my name

There Will Always Be A Candle Burning

There Will Always Be A Candle Burning


There will always be a candle burning
By your picture in my mind.
And I promise I will never forget;
To always take the time
To look into your eyes
Even if you are not there.
And my day will always be lightened
By your captivating stare.

I promise to never forget
Your bright sunshine of a smile.
And that one amazing first touch;
Though I haven't felt it in awhile.
Your laughter will always echo
Through the emptiness of my heart;
And remember all the good times
We shared right from the start.

Please don't forget my face,
Or the feeling of my touch.
Just remember always and forever
That I love you very much

I Miss You Like Crazy

I Miss You Like Crazy

The worst feeling in the world
Is NOT feeling your touch
"I miss you like crazy"
I love you so much

The most deafening silence
Is NOT getting to hear your voice
I want us to be together
But we have no choice

The most painful heartache
Is caused by my worries
Are you thinking of me too?
Does my face seem kind of blurry?

Are you starting to forget "us"
Or trying to remember?
"I miss you like crazy"
I'll love you forever!!

still love you

 still love you 

I gave my heart to you from the start,
The worse day of my life was the day we had to part,
But you’ve been on my mind since that day
If I could see you one more time, I know what I would say.

I chased you around, sometimes you were caught,
We had some fun, sometimes we fought,
Through it all my love was with you and still is,
Even today I’m still chasing you, this time in my mind

I wish I could turn time back, so I could still be with you
But I can’t,
Besides, I don’t know if you’d even want that,
Many times I think of what you said in that Angelic voice you have

Of all the things you said to me, these words hurt me the most
They were the last words you said to me, they haunt me like a ghost
“I don’t love you anymore“
You will never know how hard it was to keep the tears inside
Somehow I seem to manage, I think because of pride

You will never know how happy I was in those days past,
Dreaming our friendship would always last,
I know those days are dead and gone, there will be no more,
You’re still the only one for me, the one I adore

Well, I feel I’ve taken too much of your time,
Remembering the days when love was mine,
So, to end this poem my closing words to you...
Until my dying day, sweetheart, I will still love you.

I love being with you


I love being with you
I love all the joy
that having you in my life brings me,
from our most intimate moments alone,
to the pride I feel in you
when we're out somewhere together.
Most of all, I love
that special gentle way you have,
that sensitive and loving side
you save just for me
when we're alone together.

I love you
because of all the things you are,
and because of all that I am
when I'm with you...
I love you!
I love you because you have shown me
in hundreds of beautiful ways
what love means.

Leaves may change from green to gold,
the sky from blue to gray,
a summer's afternoon becomes
a sparkling winter day.
People change, and places change,
and times keep changing, too.
But one thing always stays the same,
the love I feel for you.

Love speaks a language all its own,
with out a word or sound.
It starts deep in the heart,
where all true happiness is found.
It's whispered in the gentle trust
two people give each other,
and heard within each loving way
they cherish one another.

Every moment I exist, I want to hear your voice

Every moment I exist, I want to hear your voice
Falling for you was the least logical choice
But at least with you I know I really do exist
Even with temptations I try so hard to resist

I know you too well to just forget and move on
I’ll always watch over you, even if you’re gone
And even if you leave me forever and more
You’ll still be the one I’ll always love and adore

You can run all you want, but you can’t go hide
In life or in death our lives will collide
And if death claims me as a way of taunting
Just know that my love will always be haunting

My heart is committed, so my body will follow
But when I ask, your answers remain hollow
I’ve showed my soul and revealed my life
But now I feel like you’ve put me under a knife

I know you’re scared that one day I’ll leave
But I would never, for I too would have to grieve
This was my way of showing where I really stand
Know that in love the future can’t be planned

This romeo is bleeding

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

You forgive me for liking you too much

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them

Going Too Fast Live your life like the wind

Going Too Fast
Live your life like the wind.
Speed up when necessary,
And know when to slow down.
Slow down when life pushes so hard and fast,
You cannot consume anymore air.
Slow down when you can't see
Where you're going
Or where you're coming from.
Take time to stop and realize
What you have right in front of you
When you cannot find what you're looking for.
When you cannot find what you want in someone else,
Look inside of yourself.
Don't sweat the small things,
And make the best of the big things.
Cherish the experiences you've had,
And use the lessons you've learned.
Our lives are rubber bands,
Bending and stretching to fit
Even the most awkward situations.
You can adapt to anything,
Regardless of its size or shape.
You just have to realize and use
What you have in your own hands.

I just want you to know

I just want you to know,
How much you mean to me.
You’re in my heart and soul,
That’s where you’ll always be…

There’s not a day goes by,
That I don’t think of you.
Be it morning, noon or night,
You’re in everything I do…

I just want you to know,
My love continues to grow.
I will always be here for you.
There is not a thing for you, I would not do…

I just want you to know,
Darling, I Do love you so.
And when my time on earth is through,
I will go to my grave loving you…

The night is long and ever cold

The night is long and ever cold
There is an echo within my soul
Once there lived an optimistic girl
Eyes wide open and ready for the world

Today stands someone torn and broken
Just a shell of the person that was stolen
No bright future, no arms to hold
Whispers in the night of love once told

Carry my prayers and lay them on his ears
Make my voice the only thing he hears
Reach in his chest and calm his fears
Lift him up and carry him to me

Let him drop down to one knee
Keep his soul and heart safe
to dance with mine in the same place
Endless hours when midnight falls
Let him hear my every call

Each morning when I wake

Each morning when I wake
To see your lovely smile
It makes me want to confess
I wish to keep you for a while

Everytime we touch
My heart skips a beat
And everytime you hug me
My knees they grow weak

My favorite time of day
Is the time I spend with you
I wish that we were closer
So our love could start to bloom

I can't get you off mind
No matter how I try
It's like you are the perfect drug
That gives me the perfect high

Lately you have become
My very best friend
I wish that we had more
Like a love that will never end

All these feelings I keep hidden
For reasons I can't say
I wish I could say I love you
Perhaps I will someday

When you smile

When you smile
You make my world so bright
And everything we do
Just feels so right

With every breath I take
I think of you
I want to spend my lifetime
Loving you

Each time I close my eyes
It’s you I see
And I believe that
You’re my destiny

In you I found my
Other half
It’s amazing how you
Make me laugh

And when I need a friend
You’re always there
All the things you do
Shows how much you care

The way you hold me
When I’m feeling blue
Don’t know how you do
The things you do

A simple touch from you
Can ease my pain
What I feel for you
I can’t explain

Through good and bad
You’ve held my hand
And now I know
You’ll always understand

I never knew what love
Was all about
But in you I found
My love no doubt

I knew it right from the start

I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart
How, lucky I had found you

Is this real? I can’t believe
You gave me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong…

Please do not leave me behind
You’re the heart and soul of my life
Once I was gone and alone
At last! With you, I am home…

You are the love of my life
And I thank God I’m alive
All of this, you know it’s true
Everything I do, I do it for you…

Everytime you talk to me I dont know what to say

Everytime you talk to me I dont know what to say,
because everything you say takes my breath away.

Now I cant tell you how I feel cause you stole my heart,
the thought of us not together tears my world apart.

When I'm with you it's almost more then I can take,
It feels like I'm dreaming.... I never want to wake.

I never want to lose you, I always want you there,
always there to love me, always there to care.

Forever and always you will have my love,
but forever and always isn't long enough.

So keep it for eternity, or all my living days,
but no matter how long you want it, my love is there to stay.

So everytime you have to leave and I get one more kiss,
think about the words I said and meant in this.

To a very lovely lady

To a very lovely lady,
That I have come to know.
Oh darling I do pray,
That this love will continue to grow.

Your loving eyes always sparkle,
They could light up any room.
Your sweet, friendly smile,
Always chases away the gloom.

Being together with you,
Is always so much fun.
We laugh and joke,
About things we’ve said and done.

I knew that you were special,
From the very, very, start.
I could tell by the fluttering that I felt,
Deep within my heart.

You are always so soft and sweet,
In all that you do and say.
I love you oh so much.
In each and every way.

I say this with honesty,
So heartfelt and true.
I am so blessed my dear,
To have a special love like you.

Last night before went to bed

Last night before went to bed
Thoughts of you filled my head
I have not cried this way in many of years
Onto my pillow fell six silent tears

The first was for your smile that I miss
And your tender lips I long to kiss
The second was for your gentle face
And thoughts of your loving embrace

The third came as no suprise
As I thought of your beautiful eyes
The fourth came rolling down my face
Instead of my pillow, it should be you in it's place.

The fifth came for one reason alone
I felt my love for you wasn't fully shown
I really love and miss you my dear
And there just fell...the sixth silent tear

I went to heaven

Caress my face
close my eyes
I went to heaven
I have not died.
Hold me close
hold me tight
make love to me
all through the night.
Pray that we shall
never part.
I love you
with all my heart.
Caress your face
close your eyes
I went to heaven
I have not died.
I'll hold you close
all night long.
Sweet dreams,
Goodnight,
I love you darling
sleep tight.

Fresh as falling snow

Fresh as falling snow
Erotic as the golden Desert

Deep as the Ocean
Passionate as a Wild-Fire

Romatic as a Waterfall
Mysterious as the Stars above

Wild as the Jungle
Genuine as a rare Jewel

Sensational as the Wilderness
Charming as a Blossom

Beautiful, as Beloved by me
Desirable, It's for Eternity

My head is filled with thoughts of you

My head is filled
with thoughts of you
can't change the things
that we've been through.

It's sad and lonely
not expressing the love
holding it back
when push comes to shove.

Maybe one day
things can be right
my heart is confused
and losing the fight.

Knowing deep down
it will never be
but my head refuses
it just doesn't see.

Keep on moving
so the mind is full
life without you
is certainly dull.

I am starting to have doubts

I am starting to have doubts
Your love for me is real
When I look into your eyes
It's not true love I can feel

I have been in love before
I know how it should be
I think you might be fooling yourself
When you say that you love me

You try to be polite
Show that you care
But all those romantic things
Between two people in love

Do not seem to be there
You rarely hold my hand
Or kiss me goodnight
My womanly intuition

Is telling me it's not quite right
If you really do not love me
I wish you would tell me so
If I am going to have a broken heart

I really would like to know
I would rather not waste
All the love I have to share

To end up being cast aside
Feeling empty and bare

Take my hand and lead the way

Take my hand and lead the way;
Tell me all you want to say.

Whisper softly in my ear,
All those things I want to hear.

Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
Bring out passions deep within.

Pull me close and hold me near;
Take away my pain and fear.

In the darkness of the night,
Be my beacon, shine your light.

In the brightness of the sun,
Show me that you are the one.

Give me wings so I can fly;
For I can soar when you're nearby.

Enter my heart, break down the wall,
It’s time for me to watch it fall.

I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.

Strip me of my armor tight;
You’ll find I won't put up a fight.

Release my soul held deep within...
I'm ready now, let love begin.

The dreams and realities

The dreams and realities
We journeyed between
Flights across cyber space
Envisaged on a screen

I have been in your house
You have entered mine
We shared all the seasons
From snow to sunshine

Travels from here to there
By sailing the cyber sea
My poems and your songs
We have share virtually

The tranquil dreamscapes
So often we would soar
Where palm trees swayed
As waves lap the shore

The distance we spanned
Happily wearing smiles
Holding keys of friendship
Over cyber space miles

Gifted with loving harmony
Together heart to heart
Embracing the connection
Although oceans apart

God must have had you in mind

God must have had you in mind,
When He spread stars in the sky;
For I can see them twinkling,
Every time I look into your eyes.

He must have been thinking of you,
When He made the moon and the sun;
He knew that they would shine down on you,
Like you were the only one.

I know when He made the mountains,
The beautiful flowers and morning dew;
When He looked at the masterpiece of what He'd done,
He had to be thinking of you.

When He created all humanity,
You had to be on His mind;
Looking across all the generations,
He made you one of a kind.

I know when the very first laughter,
Spilled over from Heaven's place;
God knew one day He would hear you laugh too,
And a smile spread across His face.

You had to be on His mind,
When He gave His only one Son;
For He gave him up to die for you,
As if you were his chosen one.

I'm so glad God had you in mind,
Looking down from the Heavens above;
When it was my turn to get that special someone,
And he sent You, for me to love.

I knew it right from the start

I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart
How, lucky I had found you

Is this real? I can’t believe
You gave me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong…

Please do not leave me behind
You’re the heart & soul of my life
Once I was gone and alone
At last! With you, I am home…

You are the love of my life
And I thank God I’m alive
All of this, you know it’s true
Everything I do, I do it for you…

It was early in the morning at four

It was early in the morning at four,
When death knocked upon a bedroom door,
Who is there? The sleeping one cried.
I'm Azrael, Let me come inside.
At once, the man began to shiver,
As one sweating in deadly fever,
He shouted to his sleeping wife,
Don't let him take away my life.
Please go away, O Angel of Death!
Leave me alone; I'm not ready yet.
My family depends on me,
Give me a chance, O please prepense!
The angel knocked again and again,
Friend! I'll take your life without a pain,
It's your soul Allah requires,
I come not with my own desire.
Bewildered, the man began to cry,
O Angel I'm so afraid to die,
I'll give you gold and be your slave,
Don't send me to the unlit grave.
Let me in, O Friend! The Angel said,
Open the door; get up from your bed,
If you do not allow me in,
I will walk through it, like a Jinn.
The man held a gun in his right hand,
Ready to defy the Angel's stand.
I'll point my gun, towards your head,
You dare come in; I'll shoot you dead.
By now the Angel was in the room,
Saying O Friend! Prepare for you doom.
Foolish man, Angels never die,
Put down your gun and do not sigh.
Foolish man, Angels never die,
Put down your gun and do not sigh.
Why are you afraid! Tell me O man,
To die according to Allah's plan?
Come smile at me, do not be grim,
Be Happy to return to Him.
O Angel! I bow my head in shame,
I had no time to take Allah's Name.
From morning till dusk, I made my wealth,
Not even caring for my health.
Allah's command I never obeyed,
Nor five times a day I ever prayed.
A Ramadhan came and a Ramadan went,
But no time had I to repent.
The Hajj was already fard on me,
But I would not part with my money.
All charities I did ignore,
Taking usury more and more.
Sometimes I sipped my favorite wine,
With flirting women I sat to dine.
O Angel! I appeal to you,
Spare my life for a year or two.
The Laws of Quraan I will obey,
I'll begin Salat this very day.
My Fast and Hajj, I will complete,
And keep away from self conceit.
I will refrain from usury,
And give all my wealth to charity,
Wine and wenches I will detest,
Allah's oneness I will attest.
We Angels do what Allah demands,
We cannot go against His commands.
Death is ordained for everyone,
Father, mother, daughter or son.
I'm afraid this moment is your last,
Now be reminded, of your past,
I do understand your fears,
But it is now too late for tears.
You lived in this world, two score and more,
Never did you, your people adore.
Your parents, you did not obey,
Hungry beggars, you turned away.
Your two ill-gotten, female offsprings,
In night clubs, for livelihood they sing.
Instead of making more Muslims,
You made your children non-Muslims.
You ignored the Mua'dhin Adhaan,
Nor did you read the Holy Quran.
Breaking promises all your life,
Backbiting friends, and causing strife.
From hoarded goods, great profits you made,
And your poor workers, you underpaid.
Horses and cards were your leisure,
Money making was your pleasure.
You ate vitamins and grew more fat,
With the very sick, you never sat.
A pint of blood you never gave,
Which could a little baby save.
O Human, you have done enough wrong,
You bought good properties for a song.
When the farmers appealed to you,
You did not have mercy, this is true.
Paradise for you? I cannot tell,
Undoubtedly you will dwell in hell.
There is no time for you to repent,
I'll take your soul for which I am sent.
The ending however, is very sad,
Eventually the man got very mad,
With a cry, he jumped out of bed,
And suddenly, he fell down dead.

I hold your picture in my hollow eyes

I hold your picture in my hollow eyes
It's blurred, It's broken, But it's yours. . .

I hold your tears in my empty palms
They are wet, they are many, but they are yours. . .

I hold your memories in my disillusioned mind
They are cruel, they are harsh, but they are yours. . .

I hold your soul in my cursed body
It's stained, it's sinned, but it's yours. . .

I hold your cries in my mourning voice
They are agonizing, they are haunting, but they are yours. . .

I hold your love in my broken heart
It's over, it's gone, but it's yours. . .

I hold your dreams in my dead eyes
They are broken, they are wrecked, but they are yours. . .

It's the end of it all
It's the end of you, end of me. . .

Conscience

Conscience

Conscience is instinct bred in the house,
Feeling and Thinking propagate the sin
By an unnatural breeding in and in.
I say, Turn it out doors,
Into the moors.
I love a life whose plot is simple,
And does not thicken with every pimple,
A soul so sound no sickly conscience binds it,
That makes the universe no worse than 't finds it.
I love an earnest soul,
Whose mighty joy and sorrow
Are not drowned in a bowl,
And brought to life to-morrow;
That lives one tragedy,
And not seventy;
A conscience worth keeping;
Laughing not weeping;
A conscience wise and steady,
And forever ready;
Not changing with events,
Dealing in compliments;
A conscience exercised about
Large things, where one may doubt.
I love a soul not all of wood,
Predestinated to be good,
But true to the backbone
Unto itself alone,
And false to none;
Born to its own affairs,
Its own joys and own cares;
By whom the work which God begun
Is finished, and not undone;
Taken up where he left off,
Whether to worship or to scoff;
If not good, why then evil,
If not good god, good devil.
Goodness! you hypocrite, come out of that,
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.
I have no patience towards
Such conscientious cowards.
Give me simple laboring folk,
Who love their work,
Whose virtue is song
To cheer God along.

Journey Of The Magic

Journey Of The Magic

'A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a journey:
The ways deep and the weather sharp,
The very dead of winter.'
And the camels galled, sore-footed,
refractory,
Lying down in the melting snow.
There were times we regretted
The summer palaces on slopes, the
terraces,
And the silken girls bringing sherbet.

Then the camel men cursing and
grumbling
And running away, and wanting their
liquor and women,
And the night-fires going out, and the
lack of shelters,
And the cities hostile and the towns
unfriendly
And the villages dirty and charging high
prices:
A hard time we had of it.
At the end we preferred to travel all
night,
Sleeping in snatches,
With the voices singing in our ears,
saying
That this was all folly.

Then at dawn we came down to a
temperate valley,
Wet, below the snow line, smelling of
vegetation;
With a running stream and a water-mill
beating the darkness,
And three trees on the low sky,
And an old white horse galloped in
away in the meadow.
Then we came to a tavern with
vine-leaves over the lintel,
Six hands at an open door dicing for
pieces of silver,
And feet kicking the empty wine-skins.
But there was no imformation, and so
we continued
And arrived at evening, not a moment
too soon
Finding the place; it was (you may say)
satisfactory.

All this was a long time ago, I
remember,
And I would do it again, but set down
This set down
This: were we led all that way for
Birth or Death? There was a Birth,
certainly,
We had evidence and no doubt. I had
seen birth and death,
But had thought they were different;
this Birth was
Hard and bitter agony for us, like
Death, our death.
We returned to our places, these
Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old
dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their
gods.
I should be glad of another death

I know why the caged bird sings

I know why the caged bird sings


A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

falling again

FALLING AGAIN

I was beginning to put you in the past,
i was starting to move on.
My tears stopped their flowing,
i thought i knew where my heart didn't belong.

I was letting go of our past,
and i wasn't crying as much.
I was forgetting your sweet voice,
i had already forgotten your touch.

Then i saw you again,
and my barriers fell apart.
I recollected all our memories,
and held them close to my heart.

...But you just passed me by,
you didn't even spare a passing glance.
I knew you had forgotten me,
i would never have a second chance.

i admired you from across the room,
praying that you'd remember.
i heard you as you were talking,
your voice as sweet as ever.

i didn't want to stay,
and watch you go on forgetting.
but i still held onto our memories,
to forget you, myself i was not letting.

When i was about to leave,
for some reason i had to turn around.
and i saw you standing there,
to your eyes i was suddenly bound.

i can't believe this is happening,
i can't fall for you again.
i know you'll end up leaving me,
and again my happiness will end.

i just couldn't help it,
you were taking me with your charm.
but you said that it's ok,
to me you will do no harm.

As long as i am loving you,
my heart will continue breaking.
soon you will be gone,
and with you my heart you'll be taking.

i don't want to fall for you again,
because i know you'll just let me go.
it's not as easy for me,
all of this you already know.

But you continue to take me,
so gently you hold my hand.
my heart will continue breaking,
as i am falling for you all over again.

A special world for you and me

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

My love I have tried with all my being

My love I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;

I know now why Shakespeare could not
compare his love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being
whether it physical or spiritual
is an ensnarement
from which there is no release.
But I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts, always as one.

If I could have just one wish

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

What I Love About You

What I Love About You

I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.

I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, "I Love You,"
And the way you're always there.

I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.

A gentle word like a spark of ligh

A gentle word like a spark of light,
Illuminates my soul
And as each sound goes deeper,
It's YOU that makes me whole

There is no corner, no dark place,
YOUR LOVE cannot fill
And if the world starts causing waves,
It's your devotion that makes them still

And yes you always speak to me,
In sweet honesty and truth
Your caring heart keeps out the rain,
YOUR LOVE, the ultimate roof

So thank you my Love for being there,
For supporting me, my life
I'll do the same for you, you know,
My Beautiful, Darling Wife.

That Special Day

That Special Day

The time has come for all to see.
Exactly what you mean to me.
I look deep within your eyes.
And what I see is not a surprise.
Your love is consuming and knowing to all.
Today is the day I hear you call
Me your eternal love forever.
I have never felt so much pleasure.
Vows are said for all to hear.
How are love is so dear.
To both of us, forever more.
We will be together that is for sure.

Let's Be Honest

Let's Be Honest

The truth is,
I am happy
To mean something to you.
But if I am just a passing thought
In your day- that just won't do.

The truth is,
I am happy
Spending time alone.
But I need more than an hour with you,
More than just a minute on the phone.

The truth is,
I am happy
Knowing you are mine.
But nothing would make me happier
Than if you'd notice I'm worth your time.

The truth is,
I was happy
With the way you used to care.
But you brought me to love's doorstep,
And just left me standing there.

The truth is,
I'm not happy
That you've forgotten what could be.
But the saddest truth of all
Is that you've forgotten me.

I'm Under Your Spell

I'm Under Your Spell

I'm under your spell,
your taste and your smell.
I feel you close and,
oh, so near.

You're the wishes I make
and the chances I take.
For I'm under your spell.

You're the star I see
shooting across the sky.
You're the joy that I'm
feeling when I quietly sigh.

You're the beauty of my smile
and the bounce in my step.
And all the wonderful thing's
we have to do, yet.

For I'm under your spell,
your taste and your smell.
You're the wishes I make
and the chances I take.
Make no mistake...
I'm under your spell..

I thought we loved

I thought we loved

It's been a while since I've been happy,
But since I've found you something is different,
I love myself because I know I am loved,
You opened my eyes and showed me a world,
I didn't know could exist with me here,
You showed the true me deep down inside,
And you somehow taught me the meaning of love,
In a word it's you, the way you act,
The way you walk, talk, laugh and kiss,
It's the way you smile and light up my soul,
It's how I know I can't go on without you,
I love you so much you'll never know,
Just how much you have brought to me,
I wanna give back this gift you've given,
I want you to see how wonderful you are,
I want to stand with you brazen and tall,
And challenge the world to make us fall,
Our love is so remarkably exciting,
It's a secret between just us two,
Something that could never be explained,
It's the way you look at me and touch my face,
And the way your warm kisses feel,
So soft upon my lips,
It's the way we were so long together,
And the way I thought we would stay.

My Love

My Love

You have this power over me,
This undescribable, undeniable, unmistakable power.
You consume my mind.
You invade my thoughts.
You are the ruler of my dream world.
You bring a smile to my face,
A sparkle to my eyes,
And a tear to my cheek.

Your voice is like a sweet song,
I am hearing for the first time.
You take my breath away,
With the simplest things your lips utter.
You make me feel weightless,
As though I could float up,
And touch the heavens above.

You make me look at life through new eyes,
Eyes that have never seen the light of day,
...Until now.
I feel as though I am using all my senses,
For the first time,
And suddenly everything I once knew,
Is now unfamiliar to me.

You fill every cell in my being,
With joy, love and happiness.
You make me want to stand up,
And scream at the top of my lungs,
"I love you, more than words could say."
You make my heart soar,
Like a bird in flight.
But most of all...
You are you, and I love that.

It is this intense power you have over me,
Which gives me strength, hope, and new meaning.
You are my sun, my moon, my evening star,
My light, my life, my love.
You are my destiny.
You are "The One",
The only one,
The man I love.

As I write this poem for you,
I find the words come naturally to me.
It's as if this pen is an extension of my heart,
And my heart is guiding it across the paper.
Every letter, every word, every stroke,
Is meant to be.
...As we are.

forever

forever

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
our love is forever,
everlasting and true.

Daisies are white,
as pure as our love,
I fight to restrain,
my undying love.

Waves crash at our feet,
the moon shines in your eyes,
the sand sinks beneath our toes,
my heart skips a beat.

Our hands join as one,
our fingers intertwine,
you made my life complete,
you are forever mine.

I want you back

I want you back

On the outside I never wanted to believe it
but in my heart I knew it was true
I regret the fact I took "US" for granted
but now all I want is to be with you

I know I couldn't have come at a worse time
but I could not wait one mintue longer
I want so much for you to be mine
and the feelings keep getting stronger

Please take back the love I once gave you
don't hold it against me, that you never knew
Someday you're gonna find out
and hopefully love me without a doubt

could it be

could it be

I walked in your door, and I knew!
How could it be?
Falling in love meant nothing to me,
but your eyes,
they caught me by surprise.

You looked right through my facade,
my attitude, my crazy ways.
You didn't see those things.
You saw my heart, my soul, my fear;
took me in and made me care.

I have known you but a little while,
yet, you stole my heart and made me smile.

Loving You From Afar

Loving You From Afar

falling in love with you...
was so very easy to do.

your kiss, your touch, your smile
called to me across the miles

and when they were mine for real,
they gave me such a thrill.

I carry them deep in my heart
to warm me when we're apart.

despite all the miles between
our love, by many, is seen
in the loving looks we share
reaching from here to there
