"Untitled Poem #2"

There is the you
I see
That is so deep
So beautiful
So complete

I can see for miles
Into our future
In your sweet eyes

I know I am safe
When you are holding my hand
Leading me forever
To where my soul
Has always longed to go

I know there is nothing
I would rather do
Than steal your soft kisses
Warm and wet
Lips full
Skin flush
With just the thought
Of the smallest touch from you
Heart quietly pounding
Pulse on overdrive
From your breath on my neck

My heart tells me
I have truly met my other half
The one who will complete me
The one who will love me
Completely
Totally
Eternally

I am yours
Today
Tomorrow
Forever and a day.

"Only You"

You do not know
How much I long to be
A permanent part of you
And your life

How my soul aches when I
Cannot hear your voice
Feel your touch
See your smile

You will see in time
How deeply you can be loved
How important you are to me
How truly beautiful you are

No one has ever touched
This tender place in me
The way you have
So gently, kindly, lovingly

Needing me
As I need you
Wanting me
As I want you

Loving me
As I love you...

Reading You

You are the written words
by which I live

I want to read you into forever
until I have memorized every line
every verse, every page

I want to read you like braille
feeling your words beneath my fingertips

reciting you over and over
until I know you by heart

I close my eyes
and inhale
the scent of your well read pages
breathing deeply again and again
all of you

I can feel your heartbeat
in the vellum that is your life
vibrating lightly
in rhythm to my need

You are the rare book
I handle gently
protecting you forever
from those who do not appreciate
such beautiful art

You are my guide
my map
my bible

My autobiography...

Should be just another normal day
Should be a life I want to live

But the emptiness
Of one more "normal" day
Is less than I want

I want sunsets and rainbows
And laughing so hard it hurts
I want wine flavored kisses
And wearing his old t-shirt
I want cuddling on the couch
Because it's raining outside
I want whispers in the dark
I want long country rides

I just want someone to tell me
It's out there
That it's not just a dream

That someone will hold my hand
Really know me
Really see
Who will tell me
They're the one for me...
