I have nothing important enough to give you,
but these nothings I give you;
My heart, though it lies wounded in love.
My love , though it be unfulfilled in hope.
My hope, though unreached in happiness.
My happiness, though rarely seen as brief flickers of light.
My light, my eyes, though clouded by tears.
My tears, which may drown you in sorrow.
My sorrow, which will bear you naked before all to see.
My dreams, though they haunt you with sleepless nights.
My soul, which bears the weight of the world's sufferings;
from it's beginnings, until it's end.
My joy of joys, which soars on the wings of your contentment.
My strength , to bear willingly all these nothings I have given you,
until completely crushed by their weight.
My undying friendship, unconditionally, forever! | |

Posted: 7/5/2011 7:42:00 PM | No One (part 2 - the love)
No One loves you like the one who truly loves you.
No One dreams of you so affectionately
and then, cries when he awakens because you're not there.
No One's life is so wonderfully uplifted by your presence,
and so horribly shattered when you are gone.
No One can see so much of the good in you
and so little of any of the bad.
No One's heart aches like his does,
because he's wrapped it around your glorious beauty.
No One longs more to hold your face in his hands
and to gaze, forever, at the stars closest to heaven in your eyes.
No One can see your love so perfectly
as through his eyes of pure love for you.
No One wants to melt into each others arms, in love,
as much as he does with you.
No One hurts so much to think that
you may see him as other men;
selfish and greedy, taking but not giving.
No One cares so very much what you may think of him
and despairs at the thought that maybe you don't think of him at all!
No One needs your smile, your laughter, your happiness,
even your anger, more than he does.
No One honors you more , because he won't let physical love for you
obsess his mind - unless, he could marry you.
No One believes so strongly in you.
No One could make you feel more alive.
No One holds back and hides so much as he does.
No One loves you and needs you as much as - - - -
I saw him the other day; a reflection of you.
I couldn't tell him that, maybe, he'd never have the chance
to hold you, to kiss you, to prove his eternal love for you.
Maybe I'll have the courage to tell him -
the next time I see him -
the next time I pass by - - - - - a mirror. | |

Posted: 7/5/2011 8:32:16 PM | The Tiger and The Tigress ( part 3 - the passion )
I woke up again in the middle of the night.
All the times before were in melancholy sweetness over you.
But this time was so very different.
Before sleep, I can control my thoughts of you.
But last night, I rose from a dream
like a man who's been denying his own life's urges.
At first, like a new-born kitten;
blindly crawling, scratching, searching,
desperately hungry for his mother's nourishment.
Then, transforming into a famished tiger
whose belly is empty after an unsuccessful previous night's hunt.
Rising hard and lean under the full moon of passion and desire,
I transform you from helpless, sleeping prey
into an awakening, rising tigress.
Setting you on fire with my kisses,
I become a gentle man in love with you.
You become a woman in love rising to meet me
as I consume you in the burning flames of love.
I explore every part of your tenderness
for your greater fulfilling contentment.
Unlike the tiger, I need your contentment to reach my own;
to burn you as no other man can ,
so we can melt in Love's fire together;
slowly, patiently holding back for your greater fulfillment.
No one but you will do, tigress!
No one could ever take your place!
No matter what this world does to us,
no matter what happens, I'll love you forever!
My passion may consume and destroy me
in my eternal and everlasting love for you.
If so, then so it must be - for me.
If we never come together,
if you never realize who we are,
if this fire never ignites between us,
I'll carry your torch, your flame,
in my heart, in my spirit, in my soul
'till I breathe my last breath and beyond.
Come see the fire so hidden in me for you.
Know true and deep love for the first time.
You've never been in love before,
never past through that flaming door.
Through all the others, so hard, you tried
by sharing your fire that burns inside,
but after each, you've only cried;
seeking me, tigress - right at your side. | |

For those who love or aspire to -
For those who cry and through sorrow grew -
For those who on joyfulness
sailed an ocean of tears -
for those of gentle courage
to slay anger and fear -
For those who have hope
in this world filled with strife -
For you, are my words -
to raise up your life. | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 6:35:49 AM | I am Poetry ( my defense )
I don't think poetry,
I don't create poetry,
I don't muse poetry,
I don't anything poetry;
life molds me into poetry!
Poetry doesn't inspire me,
I inspire poetry.
Poetry's fire doesn't burn in me ,
I am the fire of poetry.
A poetic life I do not live;
it's poetry's life in me I give.
I did not choose poetry,
whether short or it's long;
Poetry chose me
to sing it's sweet song.
Poetry isn't something
I make up in my head;
poetry's from my heart ,
laid open to be read.
Poetry isn't something
that I chose to be;
poetry is something
through Love's Fire - chose me! | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 7:09:16 AM | I've Seen
I've sen good and I've seen bad;
some times both ways, I've felt had!
I've felt wonderful and I've felt pain
and I've felt glory and I've felt shame.
I've felt alive and I've felt dead
and I've felt crazy inside of my head.
I've felt you inside of my heart
and you've felt me, maybe like a fart?
I've seen good times and I've seen trouble;
of good times, wish I'd seen double.
I've seen death and I've seen birth
and too much dying all over this Earth.
I've seen loneliness, despair and sorrow
and I've seen Jesus, Whose help I've borrowed.
And I've seen God in the eyes of a child
and my salvation when those eyes smiled.
I've seen you and you've seen me,
like fruit ripening on Life's tree.
I've seen the wicked and I've seen the good -
many of the former were misunderstood.
I've seen feasting and I've seen famine
and mouths of gluttons and all they cram in.
I've needed help and tried to help others;
old folks and children, fathers and mothers.
And I needed you , but you didn't know it.
I gave Love's seed, but you wouldn't sow it.
Unless it's planted in heart's field,
there's no way you can grow it.
And I've seen and challenged satan through his ugly eyes;
now a soldier of the Lord until this body dies.
I've heard the laughter and I've heard the cries.
And I hear God calling, to Whom my spirit flies.
May He bless and keep you
'till before Him, we all rise. | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 7:20:59 AM | Blank Paper ( clueless day )
The joy of blank paper;
no words written
to drag expectations down.
The hope and anticipation
of unlimited mind creation;
unbefuddled by the human mind.
Words so warm and tender,
thoughts so warm and kind.
Swooning into sweet surrender,
like a drunk who's on a bender;
words, like love, can be so blind!
Love isn't written, it's given and shown!
Courage isn't scribbled; it's tempered and honed!
Life isn't printed; it's sprouted and grown!
I would have lived it - had I only known! | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 7:31:42 AM | Keep
Keep trying, keep crying,
keep teaching, keep reaching.
Don't fake it, just make it
for you - and me, too!
Keep caring, keep sharing,
keep dealing, keep feeling
there's a goal
for you to find.
Keep living, keep giving,
keep breathing, keep receiving
thoughts of love
into your mind.
Keep feeding , keep needing,
keep hoping, keep groping
for words for you,
I'll try to rhyme.
Keep loving, keep discovering,
keep growing, keep knowing
that I love you - all the time. | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 7:44:04 AM | Thank You
Thank you, Lord, for my eyes
and all You've let me see.
And thank You for my spirit,
to know that I am free.
Thank you for this voice;
it should have praised You more.
You've given me this choice
to walk in through Your Door.
Thank You for the tears, pain and agony;
now I know that through these things
are the way You'd have me see.
And thank you, angel, for the heaven
you've given me through Love;
I've turned away the eagle
and taken in the dove.
Thank you for the love you gave me
and for the love I give;
it's for this love
the rest of my days
my life I am going to live! | |

But I think Love is GREAT! | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 8:09:27 AM | Such Sweet Love
Such sweet love and tenderness;
the scent of flowers fill the air!
The whirlpool world swirls around us,
but we don't seem to care.
Caught up so much in each other;
it seems our eyes are all we see.
We really do admire each other;
on this, we know we both agree.
The time we spend alone together,
so little words need said;
the rush of blood from our heart's love
start pounding in our heads.
And when we hold each other
and look into our eyes,
we both know our dreams come true
by the magic of our sighs.
You may ask if I love you;
with words, I'll tell no lies.
Don't use your lips to ask the truth;
just ask me with your eyes! | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 8:23:02 AM | I Just Want to Tell You
I just want to tell you
how much I love you.
I just want to tell you
how much I care.
I just want to tell you
there's no one above you;
that this is no shallow, short-term affair.
I just want to tell you
you're part of everything
so beautiful I see.
that you're part of everything
that's beautiful in me.
I just want to tell you
so there isn't any doubt;
that you are my heaven
and I can't live without!
I just want to tell you
I'll love you forever;
I pray, Lord - please bless us,
please bring us together.
I just want to tell you,
so please, love, don't cry;
that no one will adore you
ever more, love, than I. | |

If you only knew what I've been through over you!
A one - way street of love
can be so painful;
on a heart, on a soul, on me .
Oh, sweet love - why oh why can't you see me?
I'm right here in your heart;
can't you feel me?
Smile, my darling;
everything is going to be alright.
Please don't ever forget me.
How could I ever forget you?
No one cares, so very much, as I do!
Please just remember;
there is always one
who will always loves you.
If you only knew. . . . | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 12:10:38 PM | I Never Knew
I never knew gentleness -
never knew kindness -
never knew patience -
never knew grace.
I never anything -
anything that mattered
'till slain by you, love,
when I looked into your face.
I never knew happiness ,
joy, tears or sorrow,
'till I fell into your eyes ,
love of my tomorrows.
I never knew loneliness
until, my love, you're gone.
See the figure of my oneness,
like a solitary swan.
I never really knew life, my dearest,
I never really knew love;
'till you, sent by God, the Lord, I fearest
on wings as a heavenly dove.
In never knew how much I needed you;
I just couldn't understand.
I never knew how sweet it could be,
this love between a woman and a man.
I never knew such rapture;
see how we have changed!
See how love has kissed and shaped us;
our lives it's rearranged!
I never knew how much I want you;
I hope you want me, too.
I never dreamed I'd ever find you;
the beast in me, you slew.
I searched, so hard, all of my life;
my love for you , it grew.
I would have grown, oh, so much faster,
but, of you, I never knew. | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 12:24:36 PM | Moments
Can you feel it?
Time ticking away?
Is it one moment closer to you -
or one moment further away?
With all of my heart, my love,
I wish that I could say.
The moments of our past
were so sweet , but they're gone!
The moments that lie before us,
are a distant and future song.
The moments I had with you,
for me, will never fade.
Those moments with your glory,
for me, were heaven - made.
Those moments in the distance,
for us, I pray they're true!
Those moments in the future,
I want to spend with you.
These moments are so wonderful,
but, past and future, they bow;
the time that matters for us, my love,
are the moments of here and now! | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 12:38:14 PM | Drown
I know that you are leaving;
I know you're going away.
I hope it's not forever;
I hope gone you won't stay.
I've been building a wall of hope,
surrounding my wounded heart;
bracing against the day,
I know we'll be apart.
But I know a torrent of tears
will wash my frail wall down;
swept away by a flood of tears ,
my grieving heart will drown.
But, somewhere in the distance,
appearing out of the mist,
your lifeboat is sailing towards me,
with the face, in dreams, I've kissed.
But what if I'm mistaken;
to the surface I can't get above?
Then I'll happily stay at the bottom, forever -
drown in the sea of our love. | |

Posted: 7/6/2011 12:51:49 PM | I'm So Afraid
I'm so afraid
that you'll walk away from goodness;.
that you'll turn your back on life.
That you'll grow harsh instead of gentle;
that your love will turn to strife.
I'm so afraid
that you won't laugh,
that you won't really cry.
I' m so afraid
that you won't sing,
that you won't really sigh.
I'm so afraid
I'll always love you
and maybe you'll never love me.
I'm so afraid
as much as I need you,
it's from me, you want to be free.
I'm so afraid
I'll have to go, when this body dies;
I'll want from death, as I did from life -
a last look in your eyes! | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 8:31:52 AM | How Deep Was His Love
Someday, somewhere down the road of your life,
you'll remember him and wonder.
When your heart has grown fuller in love,
when sorrow has opened your eyes to see,
when tears of joy your eyes have learned to rain,
you'll ask yourself - " How deep was his love?
And when you begin to feel alone, you'll ask yourself,
" How deep was his loneliness without me?"
And when you look for him in others,
know that he never found you in anyone else - or ever even tried to.
And when you feel a tear run down your cheek for him,
you'll know he cried an ocean for you - before you knew or cared.
And when you avoid the mirror for age, you'll remember the eyes of love
that saw your beauty as timeless; that after seeing you, he saw no other.
And when you begin to feel and know deep love,
know that he never, ever, loved again after loving you.
And when you begin to know happiness, know that his happiness,
born with finding you, died the day you left his life.
And when you feel your worst, your weakest, know he loves you more than ever -
that his life was meant to give you his strength, his courage,
to hold you high above this troubled world.
And when you feel lost, know that he never gave up hope of finding you again
and that he would never turn you away.
And when, someday, you think of him ,
know that everyday of his life was filled with thoughts of you.
And when you think you should have looked into his eyes
to know the truth for yourself, know that a glimpse from you back then
was all he had to live on for the rest of his eternity.
And when you feel that maybe you should have given him something more,
know that he would have given you his life - had you only asked.
And know that when you were reading his words,
it was his soul crying out to you from that paper.
And if you hear that he died, know it was because his life
wasn't meant to be lived without you;
that another day, another night, was unbearable without you.
He never wanted anything like he wanted you loved and happy.
He never needed anything like he needed your life to shine it's fullest.
He never prayed for anything like he prayed that, someday,
somewhere down the road of your life,
you'll ask yourself -
" How deep was his love?" | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 9:01:46 AM | Of Her
It's been so hard - not seeing or speaking to her.
Just being in her presence is so wonderful
and I miss her company desperately.
It's not easy loving her through the letters I write .
I've barely scratched the surface of anything I feel for her.
I wish, with all my soul, that a time will come when we can speak
eyes to eyes, heart to heart, soul to beautiful soul.
No deceptions, no games or hang-ups - just pure, natural honesty!
I just want her to know that every word from my mouth
is from the deepest part of my being, my soul, my heart, my life.
I never want to hurt or shame her - she is the most precious person in my world!
I pray she finds me worthy to be her friend.
I want to be someone she can always count on -
who'll always be there when no one else is.
I want her to know my heart is of purest gold for her.
I'll do anything to make her happy, to make her laugh,
to enrich and deepen her life - if only she'll let me be a part of her.
I want her to love and trust in me so much!
Only of her do I feel, I see, I care, I love. | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 9:21:49 AM | Two Women - One Heart
Two women - one heart;
two loves - worlds apart.
One is caring, striving towards love;
she's been blessed from heaven above.
The other is shameless, living on sin;
there's a void in her chest where her heart should have been.
One who will blossom, struggling through youth;
deep in her heart, beauty's her root!
The other cultivates weeds for her vine;
fruit of her selfishness will make bitter wine.
one who gives love with all of her might;
the other thinks love is a reason to fight.
One, from within, with grace will refine;
the other , whose beauty from without, will decline.
For one, I don't worry - Love is her fate.
The other, I pray for - I hope not too late.
For one, the glory of eternity's waitin';
for the other, I fear, I'll have to fight satan.
I do love them both;
for both, I will sigh.
For the heart, I will smile;
for the other, I'll cry. | |

Living on Love, dying to anger.
Balanced on edge, life's a cliff-hanger!
Raising up joy, holding down sorrow;
I can do it today - but, can I tomorrow?
Only with love, of which I'm so fond;
only through Love, will I see a new dawn.
Only of Love and it's varying ways -
without you Love, I'll only decay.
Wonderful Love, wash away tears.
Sweetheart of mine, cleanse me in tears.
To you, Love, I've sworn vows for my life.
I've taken you, Love , to be as a wife.
I'll give you, my Love , to other sweethearts;
you'll slay and make tender even hard hearts!
And when my life flies
back from where it came ,
I hope that you'll carry
my torch with Love's Flame.
Through Love, my dear friends,
we'll all be together;
I'll be kissing your faces - so gently, forever! | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 10:31:40 AM | Questions
How does one speak of the joy in his heart on paper?
How would one speak his ecstasy in words?
How can anyone explain his prayers answered?
How could someone interpret the depth
of something so sacred as unrequited love?
Could anyone comprehend a happiness on the edge of the limits
set by God for a man and a woman?
Could we live a love so deep
that we may overcome all things shallower in life?
Could we help save a dying world
with a grace so wonderful that most are blind to it?
Could we cross the ocean of differences the world has set between us
to journey together, hand in hand,
to a heaven of Love that most will never know?
Will we summon the power, the strength, the faith,
for the depths of our hearts, our souls, our lives,
to rise through the gates of Eternal Love and Life?
Will we have the courage to climb the spiraling ladder
that leads to the awesome Heart of the Lord God?
Can you and I reach these heights together? | |
