Heart To Heart

What a shock it was to see you standing there
So sweet and strong, you were an answered prayer
From the first sweet kiss, that’s when I knew
This is where I belong, this is where I choose
To be by your side for the rest of my life
Your love is all I need, and it feels so right
And I loved you right from the start
Side by side, eye to eye, heart to heart

Won’t you take my head and we’ll run away
Find a sandy beach where we can love and play
Or a mountain lodge with the snow piled high
No matter where we are, no matter where we go
Just to be with you, that’s all I want
Side by side, eye to eye, heart to heart

When I see your face something seeps through me
I am bound by love; I am soaring free
You lift me up to a higher place
When you reach for me, I can hardly wait
You are always mine, I’m forever yours
And I can’t remember ever wanting more
Because I loved you right from the start
Side by side, eye to eye, heart to heart

Won’t you take my hand and we’ll run away
Find a quiet place to waste away the day
In the tropic heat or the freezing snow
Now matter where we are, no matter where we go
Just to be with you, that’s all I want
Side by side, eye to eye, heart to heart

And I loved you right from the start
Side by side, eye to eye, heart to heart

This one's for my Bearpup. Happy Valentine's Day, my love.

Refuge

Hold me, love
And wash away the pain
Wipe away my tears
Hold me close
Don't let me go
Save me from my fears

Hold me, love
And keep me safe
Protect me from the pain
Hold me close
Don't let me go
Or I'll never be the same

Precious love
How sweet the sight
When you walked into the room

Perfect love
How sweet the sound
When you whispered my name

Paling love
How sharp the pain
When you turned away from me

Painful love
How sharp the ache
When I no longer had you

You shower me with love unearned
light fire that within me burns
and judge this soul, so very stained
worth more gold than man can weigh
You wrap me in Your warmth and love
and accept me in Your world above
and though i fall and cry unworthy
You shake your head and whisper worthy
"You were created in My name
and all within you I may claim
although I leave the choice to you
(for love freely given is always true)
I never left your side my child
through valleys dark or jungles wild"
and when i awoke, i knew the truth
that love alone shall be the proof

winds of love

angel wings beat against the trees
releasing golden snow of autumn leaves
a rushing wind like banshee's scream
as winter falls upon the dream
the snow that falls is pure and white
and bathes us in the holy light
those who seek shall truly find
One most loving, just and kind
the One who is and always was
the One who loves you just because...

Midnight

Twilight caresses our shadows
The moon gives silent witness
The stars glow with anticipation
A memory surrounds the darkness
And love's power rules

My Pack

How it warms my heart and fills my day with happiness
When I awake and you hear the first sounds of my stirring
And come running to the bed, like a little herd of elephants
To kiss my eyes and lick my face and nose,
To bat my cheek and shake the bed with your wagging tail
With meows to show how pitifully you need my immediate attention
And whines to show how hard you're trying not to bark for joy
As if you'd been alone for years, instead of a mere few hours
As if nothing in the world has ever made you happier
Than to know that I'm still here
And though it warms my heart, it also makes me sad
That no one else has ever made me feel so loved

Devotion

Yes, I love him
I don't care how foolish or witless
They may think it is
I have always loved him
From the first
Moment,
Look,
Word,
Touch.
He is now and has always been
My life
And the truest happiness is in being
His wife.

For The Record...

There are many different
Correct answers
To that question.
But laughter
Is never one of them.

My Only One

Call my name and I will be there
No matter what stormy raging sea I must cross
No matter what steep and rugged mountain I must climb
No matter what dark and deadly valley I must brave
Call my name and I will be there
Whisper my name and I will come
For you are now and forever
My only one.

OMG...did I actually just write something...that isn't depressing...and yet still doesn't suck completely...wow...lol

plagiarism

i write you poems to show my love
but then i hide them from you
and i know it may not make sense to others
i don't do it because i fear your reaction
i'm sure you would at least
pretend to like them
i don't do it because i fear
you'll misunderstand my words
i could always explain myself
and make you see what i meant
i hide my poems from you
because no matter how much i trust you
i can never forget
hearing my hard found words of love
falling from your lips
to her ears

Well, hell...I was in a good mood. I really thought I was over that one...*sigh*

Our Song

You said you knew you didn't tell me
You loved me nearly enough.
And you knew that you couldn't write me
Sweet and lovely poems.
And you knew you didn't always show me
How important I was to you.
But...
What you didn't always say,
You thought every day.
What you couldn't ever write
You felt in your heart.
And though you didn't always show it,
You knew that it was true.
And I thought of the day,
You admitted
With a trace of embarrassment
That you made fun of those
Sappy love songs
Because they never made sense to you
Until I came along
And Fate skipped a beat
And scared you to death.

Lifted Up

I remembered you in my prayers.
I don't know you well,
Not really at all.
But I cried when I thought
Of how you hurt.
I didn't cause your pain,
But I have caused the same pain
For others.
And so,
I prayed for you.
I prayed for
Comfort,
Strength,
And healing.
I prayed that someday soon,
When you're ready,
That true love will find you.
That you will find the happiness
That I know you deserve.
I prayed that you will be patient
And wait -
That the pain you feel now,
Is only
Preparing you
For better things.
I remembered you in my prayers
Because
I've caused the pain you feel;
I've felt the pain you feel.
But also because
I know that sometimes
It just isn't meant to be
No matter how badly
You wanted it.
I know that sometimes
Destiny
Denies you what you want
To give you what you need.
And it's far better.

Run Away...

Let's run away together.
Just pack our bags and leave;
We'll drive south,
Following summer's dwindling trail.
We'll find a sandy beach
Where the sun shines warm
All year long.
And a cozy little cottage
Where the whispering roar of the waves
Can rock us to sleep.
We'll leave our cares and worries
To freeze in winter's grip.
We'll live for ourselves
And no one else.
And when they come looking for us,
We'll run away and hide;
Laugh at their confusion.
Because they don't understand
How little we need them
And how much we need
Each other.

Love

I love you, you know.
You're an ass sometimes.
You ignore me for hours on end,
You tease me unmercifully,
You blame me for things
Beyond my control.
But other times,
You're the sweetest guy
I've ever known;
Thoughtful,
Kind,
Adoring.
And I know
You love me
In your own way.
But do you know
How much I love you?

Heart of Hearts

You are the greatest temptation
I have ever known,
And even when my mind says
I should turn away from you
I cannot.
A look,
A smile,
A touch,
And I am yours again.
What chains you've
Wrapped around me.
What a wicked spell you weave.
You've made me such a
Lovesick fool.
My mind is not my own.
I only think straight when
You're not around.
But when you're near
And I can feel your touch,
I am no more than
Your slave.
If loving you were
A sin,
I still couldn't help myself.

apology

oh my love
i'm sorry

i know it's not

your fault
i don't know
why i say such things
too late now
to take it back
too late to say
i'm sorry
but i'll say it
anyway

From A Distance

I guess my writing makes it
Easy to see
From the outside.
And so removed...
I wonder
Which is sadder?
The fact that I'm so desperate?
Or
The fact that you don't see it?

Time

Eleven years is a long time
To know someone,
To love someone,
And still not trust them;
Still not know the little things,
Like my favorite song,
My favorite book;
To still not understand
That sometimes I will be sad
No matter what you do;
And sometimes I will laugh
No matter how mad it makes you.

It's a long time to know me
And yet still not understand,
That no matter what you say or do,
There will always be times
That I must be alone.
There will always be places
Where you cannot follow.

Eleven years is a long time
Much too long
For me to ever expect
For you to change.
