Things I'd Like To Do

 


"I'd love to spell out,

    e-u-p-h-o-r-i-a in a 

   whisper in your ear,

 I'd like to say out loud,

    I'm so near to you, 

 but can I come any closer?




" I'd like to kiss your fingers,

     when your words 

        fly over my head,

  it's not that I am inattentive,

     just that I want to

 do something sweet instead.





" When we'd sit by the fire,

    and look at each others

     eyes in a trance,

   my lips would be frozen,

    but would like to say, 

  please don't leave me 

     out in the cold,

      in this wonderful romance.



" When you finally come to 

     your senses,

 and lay your lips

   ever so gently on mine,

     I'd almost lose mine

   and I'd never want to come

      around, till

    the end of time.....


        
I'd  love to,

  Wake you up, 

With my lips on your breath,



I'd like to watch you sleep,

   Cause my eyes ,

Behold the source,

    Of all my wealth...



I'd love to stay silent,

   All day long,

So I can hear your voice,

  And just look at your lovely face,



And at the end of the day,

  I'd say, 'I'd love to hear

     More in a whisper,

  in your sweet embrace'


  
 But When the time would come 

for me to part from you,

    the tears in my eyes will sway,

   and the beat in my heart,

   will pound so strongly

     in a prayer that,

    you'd ask me to stay.

Things you Did


 
The other day,

you had cried,

I wish you hadn't....



'cause the tears are,

the essence of your

love for me,



I wish you hadn't lost them~




The other day,

you smiled at me,

I wish you didn't....



'cause your anger

holds the assertion,

of your love for me,



And how I wished

you were angry with me~




The other day,

you came a little closer,

I wished you hadn't...



'cause the distance,

that exists between,

gives birth to

the desire in my heart,

for getting close to you,



How I wished you shied away.

To Love Someone

To love someone completely,
with no fear, no hesitation,
no taboos, and no inhibition,

to be immersed in that sea,
not caring whether I sank
to the bottom,
or reached the shore,
to lie on the sands,
and look up at the starry sky...

To defend someone completely,
in right and in wrong,
shamelessly, and unjustly,
recklessly and desperately,

to be in the arms of sin and holiness,
not caring whether I burn
to dead cinders, reduced
to ashes and dust,
or whether I crash to the ground,

to be trodden on and smashed utterly...

To understand someone,
even in chaos and confusion
, in obscurity and distortion,

to embrace the lie and truth,
not caring if it would destroy me,
but holding it dear to my heart
with abandon,
not sparing any room for doubts,
or hesitation,
if only to face a bottomless pit,
that sucks me in mercilessly...

You Will Never Know

You will never know,
How the invisible bruises,
Form in my mind,
'cause the blows you struck,
were in jest, in amusement.

You will never know,
How the pain grows,
In the depths of my heart,
'cause you took away,
my only solace - my fantasy,
and hit me with reality..

You will never know,
How an eye cries a tear,
Cause, you hold your emotions,
Prisoners, in the deepest,
Darkest cells of your soul,
You will never know,
How a heart breaks,
Until you stop for a minute
to listen to the voice that replies,
with no remorse,
with no answer

You will never know,
The worth of a love filled heart,
cause before that,
you will need to know,
what a dream,
means to a dreamer...

You will never know,
How lonely the bench,
By the juniper tree,
in the park is,
until you stop by sometime,
to sit on it and
watch the world go by.

You will never know,
How the roses smell,
The ones I grew for you,
Cause the humble garden in my heart,
Is nothing but a little weed
In your eyes...

You will never know,
How slowly my world turns,
Cause yours spins
With an endless,
Timeless motion,
In a galaxy full of shining stars

You will never know,
How warm my fingers feel,
Cause your senses are buried
Deep beneath the seas,
Of uninhibited pleasures...

You will never know,
How hopes
Shatter against the rocks,
Of the painful truth,
Cause, your wishes are someone's command.

You will never know,
How the light goes out of the candle,
Against the sudden wind,
Cause, there is always someone to shelter
The flame
In your soul
