Seed of Love....

SEED OF LOVE

You planted a seed

of love deep inside my soul

nurturing it, watering it

watching it grow

from an empty place

my heart blooms

desire, hope, truth

my spirit consumes

colors ignite

like fireworks within

mind inspired

for I am your yin

You are my yang

together we have become

two souls united

joined as one

I dreamt of you

a hundred times or more

and I will dream of you

forevermore

Seasons change

and life continues on

but my love for you

remains ever strong

for you planted a seed

where strong roots have grown

always to remain

the only love I have known

and I will love you

and help your heart grow too

an amazing, wonderful man

who showed me love so true

My garden of love will continue to blossom

under the light of your smile

and one day when we are together 

though it may take awhile....

our hands will touch...

our eyes will meet...

and then..my love...

it will be all be complete.. 

Infinite Love

My love for you cannot be measured

by days, weeks nor seasons

for it flows endlessly into

infinite neverending space

Where time stops, holding still

 and everything remains the same

the earth revolves

and the sun shines over the horizon

my heart holds you inside

quiet and safe

and the world doesn't matter

outside there with their cynicism and doubt

For what you give me is pure and true

and reaches deeper than the depths of the ocean

Higher than the point of the hightest mountain

and further than than any obstacles in our way

I need you as a flower needs the moisture of the rain

soaking it in, absorbing it so that it may bloom

and it's beauty will be given to you

without fear nor doubt

the pedals opening and reaching

its pollen is ready to be tasted

and enjoyed by the one who

gave it life, for he is life

Like a tiger

so strong and beautiful

arising out of the jungle

a powerful and awesome creature

I shall be your lioness

ready and willing

to be by your side

always loyal to my loving man  

navigating through life

just seeking a way

for our two souls to

be reunited

under a starry sky

where dreams come true

fantasies become reality

and two flames light the way

guiding our souls together in unity

forever after, nothing will be the same

the love contained inside of us will explode

with fireworks of absolute beauty and unbridled passion 

both of which we have never felt in this lifetime

and when we hold each other

and I look into your eyes

and tell you that I love you

you will know how worthy you are

how truly loved and cherished you are

and that you are home...

Painted on smile

Lipstick put on
like a painted on smile
nobody will notice
the sadness for awhile  

Mascara applied
to lashes of disguise
nobody will notice..
the moisture in her eyes

Blush brushed on
hiding tear streaked cheeks
covering up sorrow
of the love she seeks

a painted on face
to hide the pain
that she could never tell
or try to explain

So she will smile
and laugh
and glow
and nobody will ever know

that the mask that she wears
protects her from herself
with just a few touchups
she can become someone else

Until she gets home
and removes it all
only to have to face
her feelings after all....

Empty Promises

Broken heart
insecurity, fears
lonely soul
hidden tears

Lies were said
promises broken
silent voices of
words unspoken

Lips sealed
with secrets untold
of a broken heart
that turned cold

False illusions
thought to be true
inside thoughts
of love for you

Creeps into my soul
loneliness
like an empty hole
patched with sadness

Confusion
A painted smile
happiness
only for awhile

Empty promises
just a fantasy
of a love
that could never be...

My Heart Saw Love

I sit outside
gazing at the winter moon
breathing in the cool air
and exhaling all my worries

yet, within the coldness of my breath
pain remains and my eyes are moist
and I will never be the same again

I know this now
I know a love unconditional
that pulls me towards it
as the moon guides the waves

My heart.. safe, content
never knowing full joy
now has opened
like a rose blooming
under the warm rays of the sun

for your beautiful soul
touched it, changed it
forevermore
it cannot go back
to the way it was before

for my heart saw love
and it will not forget
cannot let go
of something so real

as I sit alone
a void has formed
like the emptiness
in the starless sky

I feel as if happiness
has been left behind
in a dream
of such vivid beauty

I am no longer
a single being
on this great earth
but part of another

My body is frozen
but my heart has thawed
and the pain of separation
is burning a hole

I must get warm now
and go to sleep
where I can once again
touch, feel, embrace, dream

I will never be the same
For my heart saw love....

Footprints in the Snow

I step outdoors
and feel the cold winter wind blow
icy, biting and cruel
I leave footprints in the snow..

just a temporary imprint
to say "I was here"
The rustling trees whisper
are you really there?

Too busy running
from things I cannot face
while my footprints in the snow
get quickly replaced

by others footprints
running just like me
and forgettting what it is like
to stop, breathe and just to be

Too busy chasing
that all elusive dream
trying to break through
the day to day regime

I walk by bent branches
weighed down by snow
as I leave more footprints
trying to meet the status quo

but my prints are only temporary
and not there to stay
and there is no happiness
in me running along this way

but still, I hustle along with the crowd
leaving my footprints in the snow
and wishing the sun will soon come out
with its rays of hope aglow

With the warmth will come,
a renewed hope and chance
to  give love, receive love
not run through life, but to dance

to make a permanent footprint
somewhere, somehow, someway
as my footprints in the snow
begin to slowly melt away.....

Torn

Wrapped up in a tight package
safe, protected from the vicious claws that try
to reach in and tear it open
only to leave it vulnerable to the wolves

So I kept it wrapped tightly
hidden away
until a day came..a day like every other
except on this day..I felt a soft tug
I held onto it even tighter..
who is this person gently tugging at what I hold dear
not tearing at it or trying to fool me with shallow words
so that I will open and reveal what lies inside

Is this a wolf disguised as a kind soul
who will gently unwrap this package I have
held for so long, with his magical words and charming ways.
Do I chance letting it slowly unravel
until it shines and radiates all the love it holds inside
therefore exposing it to the harshness and raw pain
that could occur if I do not protect it

If I turn this person away and
 he is not a wolf like the others
then the love though safe, will simply,
eventually, wither away..only to be forgotten..
the feelings and emotions that It could
help me to feel..will be memories no longer felt
my heart cries to be set free...
but my mind says the pain is too deep
and the memories are too new
and  so I chose to keep it wrapped up
the chance is too great
for love is too powerful
