The Gift

I don't have much to give youin the way of material things.But then, I have never been a material person . . .so it wouldn't matter much anyway.I do have something to give you, though . . .and I hope you accept this gift with joy.I have chosen not to wrap it . . .I want it to be presented to youas pristine as can be.And anyway, decorations or wrappings wouldcertainly ruin the effect.And so it is . . . that I stand before you . . .unclothed, but surprisingly, unashamedof my nakedness.You have already captured a piece of my heart,and you have captivated my soul.The only thing left for me to present to youis my very being . . . and I do that willingly,happily, and most of all . . . lovingly.Standing before you . . . watching your every movement . . .seeing the desire in your eyesfor the very first time.I don't believe in all of my life,I have ever witnessed a momentas beautiful as this.Neither one of us can speak . . .and we are finding, even breathing, is difficult.Your heartbeat is pounding out a rhythmthat almost assaults my ears.I can hear it from where I stand across from you . . . and every beat speaks of your love for me.I am giving you this gift tonight,because I desperately want you to look inside.I want you to open this package that I offer you,slowly . . . lovingly . . . sensuously . . .and search for what lies within.You don't have to look far, you know . . .everything I feel for you is just below the surface.So it shouldn't take long for youto discover the beauty awaiting you there.Go ahead . . . open this gift as a child wouldon a snowy Christmas morning . . .in a hurried fashion . . . rather like a frenzy, if you will.But once that initial gift is opened . . .and the passion subsides . . .Please promise methat this gift I give you . . .this gift of myself . . .is only just the beginning.

What should I do?


For you,I would gladly walk a mile,if that would give me a chanceto see you smile.I'd call you my friend,but that's a lie.You mean more to me,but I can't explain why.For you are more precious to methan all of the world's gold,but I can't tell you that,how can I be that bold?If I spoke what's on my mind,would you accept me?Because without you,I don't know where I'd be.You seem to be calm,while I feel absolutely lost.I would like to be so bold,but what would its failure cost?Am I the only one faced with this choice?Be daring and risk losing you as a friend too?I can't risk that; I'd rather have that then lose everything.What should I do?

Forbidden

Forbidden pleasuresWho makes the rulesUnfound treasuresAnd beautiful jewelsCan that line be crossedWhat could we truly beAnd at what costDo you see what I seeI know there is more thereWaiting to be foundCan you feel how much I careI feel like I'm being drownedIf you knew the amount of desireThat I feel for youMy burning fireThat wants one to become twoForbidden pleasuresWho makes the rulesUnfound treasuresAnd beautiful jewels

Until There Was You

Until there was youI walked the earth aloneNo hand to hold in mineMy heart was all my ownUntil there was youTrue love was just a dreamDreams of wonder and tearsDreams of hope and fearsUntil there was youMy life had no directionA road of uncertaintyBut now we have a journeyTogether you and meSo I thank my lucky starsAnd God from the heavens aboveFor my heart and soul could neverFeel the impact of true loveUntil there was you . . .

A Promise To My Love

I believe that none could love youquite as deeply as I do;And yet I often fail to showthe depth of it to you.I vow to do the little things,to show you every day;But one thing or anotherseems to get into the way.I pledge to be more open,to have courage and be strong;But some how fear takes overand then everything goes wrong.I dream of perfect love for us,and hope that it will be;And yet I end up giving youa less than perfect me.I want to be much more for you,be everything you need.I hope and seek, beg and pray"Change me Lord! ", I plead.You are the only one I want.It is for you I yearn.I guess, my love, there's still so muchthat I have yet to learn.I cannot give perfection,but this I promise I will do -I will spend my life time learninghow to give my love to you.

Dreams, Wishes, and Tears


If dreams were given to a lonely woman and a lonely woman's dreams came true,I'd force myself to sleep all the timejust so I could dream of youIf wishes were given to a lonely manand I was given just two,I'd wish for you to always love meand the other I'd give to youIf my tears could write a love songI'd write a love song for you,It would explain just how I feel insideand how much I love you tooBut, dreams are only dreamsand wishes seldom come true,My tears can't write a love song,but when they fall, they fall for you

~POEMS~

Far away,Too far,I can't go on,Yet I love him.Her existence seems unreal,Almost a dream,Why do I put myself through this?Because I love her,And she loves me.What will I doTo pass the time?I will think of her,But that causes painAlong with the happiness.But I must think of her,My mind will not focusOn anything else.Time drags so slowly,10, hours or days?I do not know.All I know,it is too long,to be awayfrom her.I want to fall into her,lose myself in herBe one with her.She is my lightIn the darkness,I would go to her,But distance is,A cruel thing.The phone rings,"No I can't come out tonight"They ask why but I,can't tell the truth,They would only laugh,"I have business to attend to,Goodbye".I am alone again,Unseeing,Unthinking,Unwanting,Except for her warm skinClose to mine.My whole body screams,Let her come to me,But she can't,Or won't?"She would come if she could,Wouldn't she?Maybe she..."But the thought is too terrible,She wouldn't,I know her,She loves me.I smile again,Our love is tangible,A living reality,Breathing,Keeping faith alive.Living for the dayThat we finally meet.

~POEMS~

Wings

If I had wings to flyI'd breathe in deepand spread them wideas I leap from the cliffinto the windwhere the gulls glide.Crossing this wide seaI glide above cruel wavesthat reach up to drown my flightin their colddeepblue-green graves.And as your day grows slowly lightI'd arrive on worn-out wingsto hold youin your waking dreamsand feel you softand gently warmin my embrace at last.

Loving Hearts Miles Apart


There are many miles between us,But our hearts see not the distance.Drawing our love even closer,On this my heart it is insistent.When we talk my heart sings,You'll never know the happiness it brings.Just to hear a word from you,Keeps my heart from being blue.I love you truly, yes I do.I forever want to be with you.For now I'll settle for the phone,But know it's in your dreams that I belongLonging for the day we greet,Two loving hearts will then get to meet.Never more to be apart,Knowing it was long distance we got our start

~POEMS~

What Love Is


It is Love that gives me purposeto change and grow and learn.It is Love that guides me on this pathand helps me choose each turn.It is Love that gives me courageto stand against my fears;to open up my heart to you,to let you see my tears.It is Love that gives me trust and hopewhen little thing go wrong.When distance stands between us,it is Love that keeps me strong.It is Love that offers harmonyand a friendship that is true.How wonderful that I can sharea Love like this with you!

Last Night


Last nightI watched a teardropslowly trace its wayacross your lovelycheek.It hovered a momentat the tip of your noseas if to tease meand make me feel ashamedfor hurting you so badly.Finally it broke itself freeand came to a reston your soft pillowto join countless othersof its kind that Inever knew existed.

~POEMS~

I Knew You Well


I knew your dreamsBecause we used to talkFor hours at a time.I knew your friendshipBecause you were always thereWhen I needed your comfort.I knew your painBecause you trusted me enoughTo share your past with me.I knew your fearsBecause you helped meTo see that mine were the same.I knew what was important to youBecause you were alwaysSo honest with me.I knew your goalsBecause I felt the enthusiasmIn your words when you talked of them.I knew your guidanceBecause you patiently explainedThe things I didn't understand.I knew your heartBecause I saw right into itAnd felt it a part of my own.I knew your honorBecause you let me goWhen I fell in love with you.And I knew your loveBecause you wouldn't let me dreamof us together.

~POEMS~

Words Are Not Enough


The words "I miss you" can not displayThe depths of how I care.The words "I want you" do not betrayThe extent of what I dare.The words "I need you" can not conveyThe extent of my prayer.The words "I love you" do not portrayThe heights of my err.

~POEMS~

The Reasons I Love You

I love you because you make me happyI love you because you make me feel safe and secureI love your smileI love the way you say my nameI love the look in your eyes when you tell me you love meAnd how you laugh at me when I do something stupid, when others would putme down.I love the fact that when I'm around you I can be myself and not worryabout what you may think of me, because I know you love me for who I am. No matter what my faults may be.I love being able to wake up with you by my side... It makes my daysbetterAt night I love watching you sleep, hearing you take each breath, andfeeling your heart beat with the palm of my hand... reality hits that youare not a dream YOU ARE MINE.I love the way you wrap your arms around me and hold me really tight, likethere is no tomorrowAnd I love the way I feel when your lips barely touch mine for a kiss, thelove and emotions that go through me at that moment are unexplainable.I love your laughI love hearing your voiceI love that you get along with my family and friend, no matter how muchyou dislike them, or who they are.And hearing you tell me your stories, you could tell them to me a thousandtimes, and I will never get tired of them, because they are a part of you.But the main reason I love you is because.....You are you!

~POEMS~

The Last Letter To Be

I exist now dreaming in reality, shades of deep reds and grays,Evolving at the speed of lightAs my third eye sees all, I bring my fingers to my lips and time stopsI taste you.I ponder you and wallow in the memory of your scent and way.How you called me babyThe way you made me laughThe way you touched my heart and made mebelieveUnable to stop, it seems too wonderful, but in the end there is not much but pain.I allow this for some time, then I awake and know that I am alive and the possibilities are endless.Wanting you to taste my soul and undeniably know that I am the one and we are one to conquer happiness together, unimaginably, the way you knew that we couldand will if you say one word,Yes!Your fear. Your ego. Your pride. They protect and also hurt you,keeping you from what is rightfully yours,Love.If I had your heart again?Oh, the way I would touch it, nurture itand protect itMy most sacred giftGod wants what I want,he trusts me and knows my light is pure as he does you.Say the word once.The heavens will open up and the angels will sing in our praiseBecause we chose.Please don't be afraid, I am always here for you.I Love You.

~POEMS~

Trust Me With Your Heart


Why does your heart grow doubtful dear?Tense and beating, full of fear.I keep with me your everlasting love,and bless the day God sent you from above.You remain my angel and I feel that I must,tell you that within you, you have my trust.My love is the tide, your soul is the shores,you have my heart, do I have yours?I'll belong to you till the very end,and you will forever stay as my lover and friend.It has been so good like this from the start,so darling please, trust me with your heart.

~POEMS~

Between Us

There is the melodyI can't play for you,There is the songI can't sing for you.Always,I want to be with you,Touch, feel your heart.Between usThere is the lineI can't cross.

~POEMS~

We're Not In Love

So often people say they found their lover in their friend.I just have to wonder if they?ve found a means to fit their end.I thought I knew you for so long, but now I?ve come to seeThat this man is a stranger, and you don?t remember me.For the first time in my life I wanted someone I could keep-To treasure me both heart and soul, to hold me in my sleep.When I saw you I was overjoyed, my search at last concluded,Who knew that I would come to find that I was just deluded?Because as we grew together something still kept us apart,I have your body and your mind, but I?ll never have your heart.And I still wish that we could have that true love and forever,But reality stole my happy ending, leaving me with never.And if you asked, what would I say?Would I dare to throw it all away?Would yes be right? Or is it no?But we never ask, so on we go.And still I know that in the end,You?re not my lover but my friend.This is the truth that I despiseWhen I suddenly realize:We?re not in love.

~POEMS~

I kept my head up high,and then you came my way.I have been hurt so many times.My heart filled with so much pain.but now that pain has gone away.For I have found a place I want to be.This place I see is with thee.For in your arms I have felt and seen,a wonderful feeling that I cannot believe.A safe haven in your arms just for me.Now I give my heart to thee.For my heart believes in you.

~POEM~
