Poetry????

some of these are a few years old....

Mine...

The time we spend
together is special

It's not just the smile on your face
that brightens my day

It's not just the touch of your hand on mine
that makes me tingle

It's not just the feel of your body next to mine
that gets my heart fluttering

It's not when we make love
My being inside -
not only you, but your soul

It's knowing that you love me,
said not only in the heat of passion,
but shown every time I see your face
a sight I can't seem to get enough of...

The more time passes, the more I know
how special you are
And the more I know, the clearer it seems,

I want you to be mine....

Home?


The page is blank,
the words won't come.
Stare into space,
what can I do?
Feel so down,
below the road,
while all above,
run over me.
I could get up,
but what's the point?
I'll just fall,
back here again.
It's not so bad,
once you're here.
Nothing hurts,
but nothing's felt,
except the hollow,
lingering fear,
this place will be,
a place called home.

The Future

How can I NOT look to the future,
when it seems so clear...
The more I learn of you,
the further ahead I see.
From gazing across the table,
into those lovely eyes...
To watching the birth of our child,
always you are there,
smiling at me knowing...
We were made for one another,
each has something to give.
To support their whole-life's partner,
and help them be all they can be.

'til death do us part,
seems so appropriate...
It will take all that time,
to show you how much I love you!

Someday, When You Are Ready

Someday, when you are ready,
we will look at the moon and the stars together.
Someday, when you are ready,
we will touch and feel the emotions within.
Someday, when you are ready,
we will smell the scent of passion
Someday, when you are ready,
we will help each see behind all the words.
Someday, when you are ready,
we will understand how lucky we both are.
Someday, when you are ready,
we will gaze into each other's eyes,
and see the love that grows everyday,
not because of any one thing,
but from all that has been learned since the start.
The patience I have learned comes from you,
knowing that I will do everything with you...
someday, when you are ready

C to Me

I smile when you walk in the room
knowing my day just got brighter

Your look makes my heart skip a beat.
When our eyes meet, I know it's more than friends

I don't wonder this thing we have
seems to have a mind of it's own

From the start to today
I've seen you inside and out

I want to touch you, feel you, love you
like no one else has done.

So you can sense how I feel
by just being there

You make my day, my hour, my second
when you tell me you think about us

from doing the normal routine
to the not-so-normal way we make love

When your skin touches mine,
we feel like one

When your eyes close,
I know how you feel

We both want the same from each other,
not just our bodies
but the full heart and soul
