love. (vii)

I speak and dream of love and beauty as if it were already mine
The more I desire, the quicker it eludes my grasp
Can I bear the crushing of my heart time after time?
I laugh; can no longer cry and already have died perhaps
Crucify me now! That I may feel a pain greater than the one I bear
Are listening? Can you hear through the doors of my soul?
No. It's apart of me, wishing it or I would disappear
Or gather tiny pieces back together in a whole.
Each piece - a puzzle finest as the dust of the earth
These seeds have but one want - growing whole in love again
But carries with it all I am and all that I am worth
I'll seek until I die and prove my love was not in vain.

All in this world and life may not be as it seems
Reality may lie within the dreamer and his dreams.

love. (vi)

Two souls united. On a journey with one common bond
To live what seems a fantasy mere mortals couldn't dream
Awaken to what lies ahead from tender voices drawn
And lured although the path unknown and eyes have never seen
So hand in hand and step by step, together! Nothing less.
And more, of something to be said while those who pursue bail
No, this one bears the holy seal, all wholly can witness
That love's the common bond that binds and love will never fail

May God bless you as you journey and move about this life
A double portion is in store for future man and wife!

love. (v)

Wild eyes that look to an adventure and to worlds and realms
Yet ever soft and more sincere that melts my heart away
Piercing arrows - powerful! That kills all false esteems
Bare and naked I am here and now before you lay
My eyes can feel your silken hands and how it gently touches
And also how each part of you is crafted to perfection
These hands of mine again will not release you from its clutches
So hand in hand a woven symbol patterns our affection
Still touched am I, in how you saw so easily this soul
That the beat, of my heart now pumps with life anew
Every part of me grips and groans to become whole
That these wild eyes and my desire, explore new worlds with you.

The body, every piece I long for, is a work of art
A masterful creation that so speeds my beating heart

love. (iv)

Your warmth so covers me as no blanket does
My skin responds and glistens from your touch
Each day you're here and why? Is it because
You live to brighten days and give so much?
I wake and see your happy shining face
Your smile's a beam that's filled with pure delight
As evening brings its cool, it can't erase
The thoughts so warm and longings of your sight

I wake to the morning and look to see you soon
My dreams of sunshine, underneath the moon

love. (iii)

Your eyes still shout of love and joy
Lips, faint red and soft silk kisses
Wishing they felt on mine to enjoy
You add your strikes and I'll my misses.
I dare not look upon you just this once
And sink in thoughts of happy never afters
I've had my fill with but one glance
Still look to write a sweet new chapter

If there's a God in heaven up above
We'll meet again, oh my sweet love!

love. (ii)

Can you look upon another with the eyes you've given me?
This Treasure still kept safe and buried deep within my soul
Rare pearl of joy I call to you, though parted by the sea
Wild dreams and foreseen memories of mysteries yet untold
Can Time and Distance stop our hearts that beat a rhythm true?
Then dance with me right now, as I too fill my hearts content
The gift I give is music - songs I sing, I sing to you
Turn up the volume in your soul and ride the waves I've sent
Your eyes have burned an image that can never be erased
It shines and I am begging you to turn to it once more
The beat goes on and pumps and thumps and cannot be replaced
For Time has lost and Distance failed; yet Love's the one Victor

Ahh sweet love, I’ve given in to your embrace
I wait for it to rest in its proper dwelling place...

love.

originally, i had planned to choose but one of my favorites on love for Valentines Day. but after reviewing my archives of writings, i am given to run a series of poems on this topic... love. the deepness of this phenomenon that rarely comes to surface in our culture. may these touch the depths of your soul.

here is the first... enjoy!

Nov. 20, 2007

I push to write of life and love anew
And though so far, I bid it come to me
Again to taste that nectar is now due
Nourishment that calls my soul to thee
Turn not away as if you cannot hear
My music is your song that bares your name
As Time goes on, our Truth so ever clear
Until that day, I drink to you again.
