Untitled
Deny me not
The warmth of your embrace.
Shy not away
From my gentle caress.
Hide not from me
The love in your eyes.
Lay your fears
Upon my feet
And place your hand in mine.
From this day on
Together shall we walk
And no dark clouds
Shall keep the sun from warming our hearts.
Untitled
I could die today
And you wouldn’t care.
I could lay down my life for you
And you wouldn’t care.
I could go to the end of the earth and back
And you wouldn’t care.
What must I do to be noticed by you?
Please tell me
For my heart is on fire
And I yearn to hold you in my arms.
Untitled
Even in the shadows
I can see the light,
When I am looking through the eyes of true love.
The Promise
In the house of the Lord
They promise
To run hand in hand in the sun and in the rain.
They promise
To share their laughter and their tears.
They promise
To make a home
And decorate it with colour and light.
They promise
To make their dreams reality.
They promise
To carry each other over the sea.
They promise
To cherish their love forever.
They promise
To live and die together.
Untitled
Ships that once went sailing,
Words that once were spoken,
Hope that once was given,
All for love did live.
Such a Wonderful Existence
Oh, fair maiden
So radiant is your beauty.
Such captivating eyes you posses.
Such an enchanting smile lightens your face.
Such beautiful golden hair falls gently down your shoulders.
Beauty as such has never been seen before.
Lovely as you are
I feel you belong to me,
Yet I know I must share you.
You waltz around that white building
In your white dress
With your red smile.
And I
From a small distance
Love you!
Love
Love, a rose
It's every petal precious
Its beauty is captivating
And its aroma is dazzling.
It whispers your name in the wind
And it embraces you
Like an Angel would.
Love Was Once A Rose
Love was once a rose
With silk petals
That so gently did unfold.
But time went by
And the rose lost all of her beauty
So love became a painful thorn.
The darkness of a never ending night
Captured the roses' beauty
And kept her beauty imprisoned in a dark dungeon.
But the thorn
Could not take the place of the rose forever
For the rose never gave up,
For the rose never did submit herself.
So from the thorn, the rose was reborn
And all of her beauty was restored.
And as I look
At that one and only rose
I realise that I must protect her
From ever becoming a thorn again,
And to do that
I know I must love forever.
Love unites
Even if
Time and space
Keep us apart
Love will always bring us together.
Untitled
Love is an emotion,
A beautiful one
That joins two souls
Until they become one.
Untitled
Distances mean nothing
To those who truly love.
The right path will always be chosen
When guided by love’s brilliant light
And every hardship can be born
Through love’s iron strength.
Days in the Sun
Days in the sun
Were days out of the rain,
The rain that I felt in my mind,
The rain that could drown out all of my dreams,
The rain that would leave me without hope.
Days in the sun were very few
But each one was precious.
Days in the sun were all the days that I spent with you.
Untitled
Do I not know
The sound of each sigh?
The feel of each touch?
The scent of each flower?
I am not of this world,
Do I not walk on these roads,
Am I not a man?
So why will you not turn to me,
When you are hurting?
Why can you not love me
The way I love you?
Why do you not share your light with me
And force me to dwell in darkness?
Untitled
I’ve loved for days
And I’ve loved for months and years,
But I have never loved forever
For I was always meant to be with you
And a cruel fate took you away from me
Before I did ever have you.
Untitled
I would give my own life,
My own soul,
Just for one more moment
With you.
One moment
That would fit the eternity
I had hoped to spend with you.
Untitled
I go to sleep, and I think of you,
I wake up in the morning, and I think of you,
I laugh, and I think of you,
I cry, and I think of you.
I look at the stars
Knowing that you are also looking
At the same stars.
I miss you
And I need you,
More than my next breath of air.
But you have gone and left me,
Because I didn't love you enough.
But now I love you more than anything else in the world.
But it is too late.
You will not come back again
And I will always know that I am to blame
For you not being here with me.
Broken Heart
It has been a while since I have written,
It has been a while since I have expressed myself,
With the written word
My joys and sorrows told.
Now I do not write
For my hands hurt,
My hands hurt
For my heart hurts,
My heart hurts
For you broke it.
The Parting
Darkness clouds my vision
And I feel my body floating away.
My essence is slowly leaving its mortal coil
And I look upon all dear to me
For the very last time.
With my final breath I sigh your name
And my eyes water with tears.
For the life I’ve lived
Happy I am,
But for leaving you behind
My heart does break.
So ‘till we meet again my love,
When I can be whole again,
When you are in my arms again.
For this moment I’d wait for an eternity.
Untitled
Who has loved
But not been hurt?
Who can say
That they are in love, but not in pain?
Love is pain
For you give all of your love
Expecting nothing in return
But hoping for everything.
Untitled
The love I feel for you
Could not be compared
To all of the stars in the night sky.
Untitled
Every moment with you is magical
And every moment apart from you is pure hell,
And since you are no longer with me
All I can feel is the burn of the flames.
Untitled
If I could sing,
I’d sing your name.
If I could paint,
I’d paint the world in the colour of your soul.
If I could fly
I’d fly to the skies above and collect every star for you.
If you asked me to lay down my life for you,
Then without one moment’s hesitation I would
And die with a smile upon my lips.
Untitled
My heart is on fire
From the depth of my desire
That your mere presence does inspire
Making me believe that I could reach no higher
Than the heaven I found in your arms.
Untitled
Twilight is upon us
And midnight soon approaches
But dawn is hours away
And in those magical hours
Between dusk and dawn
I shall worship you in my arms
And whisper to you
Sweet nothings and heartfelt sighs.
