I know you

Where are you my sweetest lullaby?

I wish I had your scent on me, sedating me

With that afterglow of security.

Years have gone by,

I can see you so vividly.

When’s the day your presence becomes tactile?

I believe in you, I can feel your smile.

It becomes the only thing to make non-mundane

A life of dark exile.

Exist for me,

My sweet salvation.

Just be for me.

I’m not sure how much longer I could hold on.

I wonder if somewhere across bridges, seas or tables,

You’ve yearned for me for just as long.

I wonder if you know that I twist my hair in thought.

That I look to the right when I’m shy.

Would you recognize me?

Would I recognize you?

I wish coincidence would just let us try.

Maybe you’re already in my life,

But I think I would’ve known,

Because I can see the way you’d look at me

Beyond the surface, straight inside.

I can’t bring myself to even think that I might be wrong.

That you’re uncreated,

That I’m cursed to life alone.

No, no. No.

I know you.

I can almost touch you.

You must be real,

A lifetime of hope can’t be made up.

Can it?

Not with this,

not with the way the mere thought of you makes me feel. 

The merge

One peaceful day the moon meets the sun,

Opposites from different worlds

Unexpectedly they become one.

Rays and light, slowly, steadily, beautifully begin to merge

So intriguingly different

Yet a friendship starts to surge

The sun within you resides

A confidence of brightness undisputed

The moon in me takes its rise

A cloud of mystery so brightly illuminated

Your rays shine onto me,

I feel comfort so absolute

Your hand fits mine so perfectly

I can never again feel destitute

I see you; I see into you; I see through you,

You can read me like I am a set of transparent words

Under your gaze, hidden parts of me grew

Lit by the beauty of your caring voice.

Your love has occupied every aspect of my existence

Without you I would fail to survive

You have opened up your heart to me,

A beautiful journey where I learn, where I thrive. 

Bonds with strength so indestructible

With the magnificence of a spider’s web

A relationship of kind so desirable

With rarity of preciousness grand

No longer do I wonder if forever alone I’ll dwell

For you are intrinsically by my side

A satisfaction in my chest that will eternally swell

For I know you are a constant in my life.

How unity we’ve become

Baffles me to the farthest extremes

Depth, seriousness, love, closeness and fun

Combine to create you and me.

This is a promise for all of time,

This is a confession of the serious kind

Forever I am of you, forever you are mine

The sun will set, the moon will appear

The cycle of life will continue to collide

No matter be it I am far or near,

This love in my heart is immortal.

You and I are not opposites after all,

The moon and the sun have now combined

Together we will celebrate, grieve, rise and fall,

Two bodies, one soul, one glorious mind. 

Bashful ecstasy

Surges of emotions

You create in me,

Flutters of happiness

A feeling of bashful ecstasy

I barely know you

But I know how you make me feel

Such a rush, like cocaine,

It’s beautiful and surreal

I can’t wait to love you inside out

An attraction without end

I want to touch you, hold your hand

More than a lover, a best friend

You have crashed into my life

A welcome invasion

Saving me from myself

From a grave and morbid situation

My diamond rain

Exhale into my soul,

Send shivers into my existence.

Love me tenderly,

With bittersweet persistence.

Be my selfish pleasure,

My holy sin

Be my cooling fire,

The blizzard within.

Be my Everything,

My diamond rain,

Kill me softly,

Make me breathe again.

Play a symphony in my aching heart.

Hold my insecurity and rip it apart

Kiss me bashfully and tug my hair

Destroy my solitude,

Make life seem fair. 

Forget the word no,

And just surrender

To the music of today,

So fierce yet tender.

An orchestra of feeling

That I cannot control.

A deep constant craving,

You, I want to hold.

Touch me please,

I need you so.

Till the end of life,

I’ll follow where you go.

The way you laugh

Makes me insane,

Starts in my ear

Then blows my brain!

Forever stay a part of me.

Forever be my addiction

Trap me into the maze of you

With a life time conviction.

I need blazing ferocity,

I weep for your affection.

I long for your intimacy

For your far from perfect perfection. 

in doubt

Many years have past

Many glorious sunsets over sparkling seas

And we’ve faced so much together,

People’s criticism

People’s scorn

People believing

Our love won’t work

We cut off their laughs

We sealed shut their mouths

We walked between them hand in hand

Cutting our way between their sea of doubt,

Reaching the shore laughing and safe.

Facing and accepting the fact that

We may drift away once or twice.

But totally believing

That without second thought

We’ll come back together,

Stronger than ever.

I see my reflection in your eyes

And I marvel at the happiness

Bursting out of me.

I feel like I am

A shooting star

Soaring across a rainbow

On a snowy night

Your smile shines across my fears

And lights up the dark sky of my worries

And I know I can always turn to you

When I’m in need of that shoulder to cry on.

I scream out loud

As someone stabs

Me in my back

Yet once again

Your soothing touch

Silences my screams and

Eases my pain

You bend down and help me

Pick up the pieces of my shattered dignity

And aid me in restoring

My self-esteem

No one else but you

 Can make me feel

Worthy of the air I breathe

And I just wanted to

Confess to you

I breathe for you

Every day

Saving sunshine

When the sun drowns into darkness

When the songs turn into screams

When by sadness I'm surrounded

When nightmares replace my dreams

When fear threatens my faith

And humiliation follows where I go

When it seems like I have no place

When the rose is killed by snow

When my heart starts to surrender

To the hurt of a lonely night

When my resolve starts to escape

When I'm not strong enough to fight

I just think of your smile

And a warm breeze flows through the cold

My soul regains its joy

As our memories closely I hold

How can there be sadness

When I can hear your resonating laugh

My heart lovingly beats

All on your behalf

Come closer my love

So my worries can melt away

I know you're here to love me

With me you'll always stay

I've never felt so grateful

I appreciate you more than anything

Because I have you with me

I'm ready for what life can bring

What I'm trying to say

Is that I really do love you so

And you'll never be forgotten

No matter where I go

I beg you to know your worth

How dear you are to me

You’re my saving sunshine

And in my heart you'll always be
