Growth demands a temporary surrender of security...
so even though I swore I would not do this...I am going to add a page for ...(shhhh) love poems. Or at least deep emotion poems. Oh well, we only go around once in life....right ....
Your dimpled smile wanders through
the empty caverns of my mind,
Images of those eyes that gleem
are so damn easy to find.

Wondering if any fantasies
grab ahold of your insides too,
If thoughts of bare skin touching
Your sanity does undo.

Don't know how these feelings
could so quickly feed and grow,
How the emptiness that's been there
could now so greatly show.

Sitting here in an empty room
with the echo of the TV's blare,
Wishing your strong arms
could somehow be here.
I need a man strong enough
to let me be who I am
Without trying to tie down
the wild creature that lives within.

I need a man gentle enough
to know we all have fragil hearts, akin,
One who wouldn't try to hurt
one who'd let me live again.

I need a man caring enough
to be there when the fears about,
Who'd hold me and try to chase
all the little demons out.

What I want is just a chance
to see what we could share,
One chance to see what if
we allow ourselves to care.
What is this place in me
this door you've unlocked-
How did you
a stranger,
to this life of mine,
have a key to secrets
I have held?
And why
doesn't it worry me
that
you
hold this key??
Tell me why these smiles come so easily..
why does the world seem so much happier...
the sun still rises in the same window...
and sets over the same back field.
So why?
Some would say that my meeting you
will never amount to anything....
that it is only here for awhile....
to end with the suns setting light.
To them I say...
you haven't lived the sorrow I have...
you haven't felt the fear of death...
So if I want to smile
and enjoy this new found happiness...
leave me be!
It is my life...
and I choose the happiness you bring
to my days, once lonely...
to my nights once full of nightmares of pain...
now filled with sweet dreams of ecstasy...
I choose to smile!
How can it be...I've looked into your eyes forever...
yet I've never seen you before...
Can this be real...to meet someone
and feel so safe,
yet your hands have never touched...
There is so much that reality can't explain...
about how life works
in mysterious ways...
Am I the same person I was?
If so...why is the happiness
so much easier to find?
Why do the laughs
come to this once aching throat?
And I am wondering...
are you the same person as who you were
before we met....
I've tried to tuck away these feelings
tried to not allow them to remain,
Told myself it held only sorrow and hurt
and the possibility of driving me insane.

Looked elsewhere to try to shut out
the feelings that started back then,
Looked all around, or so it seemed
Then came back and looked again.

Didn't want you to know the hold
that you had on this heart of mine,
Didn't want you to see how that smile
could help me the sunshine to find.

Didn't want you to see the loneliness brought about
when days went by without seeing you,
So I pasted on a smile and tried
to hide down the love for you.

That place so deep inside of me
will never find anything that can compare,
To the joy and klove you've brought me
to try anymore wouldn't be fair.

I know I've kept my soul hid
from most and never thought it bad,
Yet you've seen so much more
and stay away from you I can't.

You've got a fear there too
and I know you've said it can't be,
But I can't deny the love that's grown
I'll just have to wait and see.

Hoping one day you may want
to see inside this broken scared heart's door,
Hoping you too can share
a part of you, or maybe more.

Life is way too short to wait for the perfect time
to say what your heart honestly feels,
Got to let it out when it's there
and then just have to wait to see....
