In Your Eyes

Different colors of red I paint on your lips with mine

and one soul has always been shared between us

You have walked every step with me in this life

And we will continue together through eternity

No other hand will ever touch my skin

And no other heart will ever beat with mine

In your eyes I’ve seen the glow of the moon at night

and the beauty of the golden sun at dawn

There has never been anyone who can compare

to the heart which holds all the love within me.

Look upon me as you always have…

Like a thief waiting to steal a precious treasure from within me.

Long Ago I Wrote a Love Poem

Long Ago, I wrote a love poem

that filled the pages of my heart

I never said who I was writing it for

I don’t think I even knew at first

Then I found that something was missing

with each love poem I tried to write

Every poem I had written with you came easily

but without your lines, they felt incomplete

I watched others try to finish your poems

I never spoke a word of discouragement

But in my heart I knew the reason

and now, I think you do too

No one can finish your poem but me

because we write as one person together

And the same goes for my poems without you.

A bond that has always baffled us both

now makes perfect sense… 

Our Colorful Dream 

I have had more intimate conversations with you

looking into your eyes in silence than speaking.

Life was so empty until you appeared one day

as a result of a prayer I prayed in sadness.

You now bring the sun into my once dark life

and have transformed my hues from black to gold.

You became the knight in my once woeful tale

and I long to stay the beautiful dream in your realm.

I have watched our love grow so strong over time

that no evil could ever penetrate our colorful dream. 

You are the love story who became my reality.
