Her eyes burn through me, see right into my soul, A touch that heals and consoles, tames my wilderness, With her smile I am subdued, content just to be, She is the Tao of my heart, not trying, just is.
Friendship between us with the richest rewards, Love unquestionable, as day and night must exist, No denial, only acceptance of each other, Supportive friend in darkest hours, lover in deepest night.
A partner for life? Cannot say, is not foretold, Only prayers unanswered now become heard, An answer before me stands, arms outstretched, Waiting for me to trust, to live again.
Alluring she is, of the way she speaks to me, Taking time from her day, to think of my needs, A stranger to me, but maybe known to my heart, Friendship she offers, no strings attached.
Her smile does warm me, the sweetness of her laugh, Kindness to a stranger, someone she admires from a distance, This attraction is mutual, her enthusiasm is electric, A great source of encouragement, and of great relief.
Limitations though do exist, as our friendship will not become more, Her heart belongs to another, and a prized possession it is, So satisfied I will be, with what she can give, And return her friendship, kindness, as befits the jewel that she is.
Lifes' lessons are hard, often not fair, Slowly weakening our resolve, Tries to break into your soul, Protection we need, to guard against this fight, Solitude and comfort, a place to recoup.
If strong, we will overcome, Only the weak to be swallowed whole, Losing their minds , bodies and souls, To become just another in the crowd, Now opposing those they once were.
Stranger that walks among you, Intimidating is her stare, foreboding her aura, World seeming to part before her stride, Like the waves of the oceans, strong and dangerous, yet quiet and soothing.
How different is she, from the rest of the world? Frozen of heart, mind, body and soul, Content to gaze upon life, preferring to watch, Cold and aloof, never fully understood.
Public figure of depth and determination, Confident skill and infinite wisdom, Strong and self-assured, knowing her fate, A grand deception this is, of the child inside.
Lost and confused, afraid to be hurt, So trusting she is, and wounded so deep, A shield of protection she uses to guard herself, Keeping her own counsel, protecting her heart.
Great contradiction to herself she is, The light and the dark, both present but not seen, Gifts for the world she has, hesitant to give, Courage she needs, and a reason to try.
Mirror opposites of herself exist in one body, The day and the night, both seeking acceptance, Both fight for supremacy, domination of her soul, Recognition of their strengths, prowess and goals.
Laser sharp her tongue can be, Reducing to rags, once fine men of the cloth, None spared in her anger, all victims, Punished in her wrath.
Yet soothing she can be, now with gentle words, Raising of hope, healing what was torn, Same tongue she uses now only to calm, Sweet sounds does she make.
Her choice it is, to let you see, Which half of her soul, the dark or the light, Her trust is given, ask nothing in return, But warning you should take, do not break her heart.
Like a thief it comes, Silent in the night, Creeping along passages, And into secret rooms.
You never see it coming, Never feel its embrace, But should it leave your life, It leaves you a desolate place.
It warms you like the Summer sun, Refreshes your soul like Spring showers, Chills you to the bone in times of distress, And colours your life like Autumn leaves.
None but a fool would deny the power of Love.
Hands so soft, eyes as bright as day, A smile from within, igniting life's flame, Instilling of faith, inspiring my day, Refreshing mine life, and lighting my way.
A depth you have brought me, My heart and my soul, A solid grounding you give, Yet encourage me to fly.
With wings of faith you carry me, You are this dreamer's dream, A vision come true, my destiny you are, One I look forward and hope to fulfill.
I don't think you'll ever know, How much you mean to me, or what I'd do for you, Fight lions and tigers, just for your smile, To kiss away your tears, in my arms I will hold.
A beauty so perfect, a treasure so rich, Like the stars in the heavens, that guide me each night, Early morning sunrises with its lingering light, Cannot compare to what you bring to my life.
Just to hold you in my arms, To tell you it will be all right, My service I would give to you make you see, My deepest slumber, my waking hours, are all filled by you.
Oh when will you see, and understand, I'm not going to leave, stuck with me you are, 'I love you' I said, 'with my heart and my soul' Spoken from my core, these words of absolute truth.
Disagreements happen, lovers quarrels exist, The key to not forsaken, our love is much stronger than this, Our faith in each other will persist, A love so deep and true, nothing we cannot conquer.
To join our lives together, this I did ask, "Yes" you said, a confession from your heart, Too long have we waited, hoped and prayed, That time would bring us together and make us complete.
My heart and my soul, my night and my day, My long winter hours and my bright summer days, Completing my life, a found missing piece, my life is yours, My final words being, I love you Megan.
Again it starts, taking control, Laying siege to my senses, No escape do I have, My captor it is, my eternal torment, Afraid of its darkness, the power it owns.
Destruction and retribution its goal, My damnation its prize.
Too tired to fight, Too hurt to resist, My life has been forfeit, Its mission a success.
Hopelessness existed, complete despair, total desolation, Misunderstood, a life lived twice, day and night, Strangers in the same body, forced together, Each hiding the other from the world outside.
Support not there, not naturally or injected, No way to cope, made to face the truth, Realisations that were not permitted, Natural personality coerced into suppression.
Events not foretold take place, my door to freedom opened, Into the unknown I walk, alone and unsure, No more to fight, to struggle, free from the chains, Now I stand in the light, free to be who I am
I am the hero, this mystery 'man', The Romeo, Casanova, lady killer, School girls delight, Mothers heartache.
Charmer of many women, Lover of the feminine one, Roving lover, Distant stranger with open arms.
Who can tame me? Call to my wild heart, Bring me in and settle my feet, Who is the one that claims my heart?
I never meant to be the one to do this to you, I never wanted to hurt or confuse you, I never designed to make you care for me, I never wanted to fall in love with you.
But here I am, before you now, Offering you my heart, Scared that you'll break it, Terrified that I'll break yours.
Always standing on the edge I am, Watching others with their loves, Cursed to live life alone, Will you be the one to break the spell.
Her kisses so soft, Hands of velvet, I was happy, Being there with you.
The night was going so well, A meeting of the minds, A misconception of the heart, Guilty acts committed.
Now I lay here, Wondering where we went wrong, We should have left things well alone, Instead, now I am alone.
You chose my bed, You took my choice, I never said I was an angel, But you, you're my anti-christ.
You're gone, of that I'm glad, Never to see you again, I'm not sorry it didn't work, This life is never fair.
Of the song of happiness I do not sing, No joy or smiles comes from me, A tortured existence is mine to share, To empathise with the pain of our world.
Blue, clear skies are gray to me, No life exists, just stagnating before our eyes, Only more challenges and tribulations, More hardships for barren lives.
Stifled and constricted, Imprisoned and impoverished, Left forever wanting more, Always to see black, in a world of white.
