- My Feelings For You -

Fifteen minutes after midnight
on this unforgettable day,
the fourteenth day of February
you heard the words my heart had to say
I held your hand in mine
just as I do in my dreams when I sleep,
I made to you a promise
that I swear to always keep
I looked you in your eyes
as we described the way we felt,
right then the ice around my heart
slowly began to melt
as I look around me
you are at my side in future years,
you are right there when I smile
and when I shed my tears
I care so much about you
I try to let you know,
each day and night that passes
my feelings for you grow
fifteen minutes after midnight
and my feelings are still growing,
every day after today
it’s these feelings I will keep showing.
- The Wall -

Heartbreak after heartbreak
I began to build a wall,
a brick for every let down
around my heart the wall stands
tall
isolated from the world
the wall provides my heart
protection,
my heart sits in cold darkness
undernourished of affection
not ever knowing what it is like
to receive an absolute love,
unconditional in all walks
as pure as the heavens up above
this wall surrounds my heart
I am isolated at all sides,
I chose to raise the wall
from emotion my heart hides
yet day after day
that I spend with you
you give me a reason
to do what I do
with your promise to me
that you will always be around,
each day I withdraw a brick
for you this wall is coming down.

The Key To Sharing

Still Trying To Be Loved
- Wonderful You -

Lovely quiet eyes in which
I can almost see my reflection,
they sparkle with intelligence and clarity of thought
I can almost feel your true affection
your secret worries appear denied
by the purity and tranquillity of expression on your face,
you are all wrapped up in the very rainbow your logic
refuses to believe in…or follow to a special place
I look into your eyes
even when you aren’t around,
I think about you all the time
and the happiness I have found
if it is true that love is blind
then I know I need not see,
when I close my eyes you’re who I find
and I know you’re my eyes for me
I trust completely in you
because I know you truly care,
you’re absolutely wonderful
you are my heartfelt stare
lovely eyes in which
I can see my hearts’ reflection,
they sparkle with a twinkle
and kiss me with affection.
- Emotional Caress -

I once wrote a poem
about a first kiss,
the kiss with my dream come true
that I would cherish and I would miss
once it seemed far-fetched
a feat of imagination,
thoughts and feelings of my heart
looked upon as my dreams’ creation
but then you came along
and changed my way of thinking,
you saved my passion-enamor
you kept my heart from sinking
emotions that you brought me
grant me so much more,
than life itself has brought me
more than I have ever pleaded for
that is why I asked you here
to sit in front of me,
I attempt to describe just how I feel
I am down on bended knee
I tell you that I am nervous
as I ask you to close your eyes,
reason is because I seek
to take you by surprise
I hold your hands in mine
as I make my dream come true,
now I write my poem
about the moment I kissed you.
- Those Precious Eyes -

I made you a promise
that I would never make you shed a tear,
I swore to you that with my love
you would never hold a fear
that precious heart of yours
I swear I will never break,
the commitment of your love
I give my word I would not forsake
I made a vow to you
that I would never lie,
I assure you with my actions
that you shall never cry…

your sight will never blur
the sincerity is in my eyes,
the engagement of our love
is an affection that never dies
I give you my word
that I will never cause you pain,
the bond of our affinity
I will never take in vain
I will stay with you
I’ll love you…in time you will see for years,
because those precious eyes of yours
were not meant for shedding tears.
- Darkness of the Night -

A moment alone together
after a beautiful day that we shared,
I sat right next to you
into your precious eyes I stared
with the lights out
in darkness we would be,
blinded without sight
our affection is all I could see
your body next to mine
my body next to yours,
on the threshold of affection
we swim across loves’ shores
your arms embrace me tightly
I kiss your tender lips,
I tingle from the touch
of your gentle finger tips
you tell me that you’re ready
I tell you I am too,
then together you and I
commence to make a love that’s true
the movement of our bodies
as gentle as the ocean,
the depth of what we share
is guided by emotion
this emotion that we hold
allows our hearts to see the light,
as you and I make love
in the darkness of the night.
-Tears of Joy -

It almost has me crying
this emotion I hold for you,
without you in my life
I don’t know what I would do
with you my days have warmth
as the sun shines in my sky,
with you my nights are beautiful
the truth will never die
the truth I speak about
lies in my heart which loves,
together you and I
like a pair of turtle doves
the birds are in our heavens
returning to their home,
the winter went away
now the clouds are not alone
the beauty of the spring
with you is all I see,
the passion in my heart
is for you to always be
forever at my side
to never go away,
the promise shared together
our emotion to never stray
for you I feel so strongly
the world could ask me why,
but I would rather sit alone
because I am about to cry.
- Seeing Is Believing -

Elegant eyes…a delicate smile
a graceful vision is what I can see,
perfection bestowed upon my heart from above
yes, you are an angel to me
every waking moment
that you and I and our hearts share together,
gives me reason to believe in love
and I know we will be forever
you bring me peace of mind
a promise I have never seen before,
when you kiss me with your lips
I taste your souls’ amor
when I hear you laugh
I swear I hear bells ring,
and when you say, “I love you,”
my falling heart begins to sing
when I look into your eyes
I see my baby’s mother,
look into mine carefully
you will see I see no other
I close my eyes to pray
I’ve asked the Lord for the love I need that’s true,
I saw a vision of what I needed
I opened my eyes and what I saw was you.
- A Better Side of Me -

I would write you poetry
and also a love letter or two,
I was the man I was
still I always found a way to hurt you
I made you happy when you would smile
but I also brought you pain,
to me you lost your heart
with me you began to go insane
yet you remained here at my side
as my wife to someday be,
you knew you could bring out
a better side of me…
the rage of my jealousy
nullified all my good,
the immaturity of who I was
didn’t allow me to treat you the way I should
but then I got tired
of constantly breaking your heart,
because I knew that my mistakes
were only pushing us apart
you have kept us together
to keep our promise of eternity,
I thank you for your faithfulness
and in knowing there is a better side of me.
- On A Scale of One to Ten -
I’m so “in” love with you
you’re the one I’ll always treasure,
the way I feel about you
no one could ever measure
no one could ever question
the emotion from my heart,
no one could find the end
even if they found the start
stretching beyond horizons
finding corners the sun has yet to find,
the light of this passion that shines on you
knows no barriers in the heart of the mind
outstretched to you
longing for your kiss,
I blink for a moment
and you’re the one I miss
I exist for you
you’re the reason I have sight,
your smile alone
is my twinkle at night
the whisper of your breath
is my message from heaven,
on a scale of one to ten
my “I love you’s” an eleven.
Forever Faithful
