Song

If I had the music,
I would have my song.
These words would have their melody,
and feel like they belong.

I've tried to force the notes,
and arrange the song myself.
The music never fits
and leaves me where I started.

I long for someone to
surround my words with music,
write what I can't write,
and complete with me this song.

Questions

Who are you?
I've watched and waited.
I've wished and wanted.
Where are you?
I've searched and sorted.
I've shared and sorrowed.
Are you far?
I want to pull you close.
Are you near?
I wish for that the most.
Have we met?
Do you know?
Are you feeling the same?
Do you ask these questions too?

Longing

How can I miss someone who has never been mine?
I have never held you close,
but my arms feel empty without you.
I have never shared your thoughts,
but I long to know your heart.
I have never kissed your lips,
but mine seem to remember.
I have never told you that I love you,
but those words ring true.
How is it that I miss you before I know who you are?

My Heart

My heart is missing and I
can't seem to find it Have you
seen it anywhere I
wish I knew where else to look You
see someone stole it I
have searched everywhere Would you
mind helping me...Wait I
think I see it You
have it right there I
guess you
can keep it I
think it will be safe with you

Elemental Love

the moon whispers to me
of her sweet beauty
a sleeping diamond in the
shadows

the wind whistles happily
at the sound of her voice
gentle waves of beautiful
music

the rain softly pecks my cheek
keeping time with her heart
a fountain of kindness and
love

the sun smiles at me
as if to remind
she is a rare and special
treasure

Almost Bloom

Deep within the center of my
heart,
A tiny seed took root.
I never thought it would
survive,
But against the odds it grew.
Every glance, every smile
urged it upward.
With every word and every laugh,
it pressed onward.

Deep within the center of my
heart,
A small rosebud pushed through
All my safeguards and
defenses —
A beautiful sight to view.
It grew with every moment
shared together —
Stirring thoughts and emotions
considered lost forever.

Deep within the center of my
heart,
Stands a rosebud silent.
What once I thought might lead to
love
Now lies in darkness dormant.
You seek another's affection.
Within, it looms
Rigid, fragile, frozen in a sad
state of almost-bloom.

The Rose

I found a rose
A gentle treasure
Her petals closed
Soft and pure

I have a hope
To discover more
To see her open
Beautiful splendor

The Eye Haikus

Tiny pools, crystal
Blue - pulling me in deeper
Your eyes mesmerize

Sparkling, laughing,
Dancing with mine, transfixed by
Your emerald eyes

Softly searching mine
Warm and sweet, I get lost in
Your chocolate eyes

Shafts of blue and brown
And green surround, as I gaze
Held close in your eyes

You In Haiku

what light brightens the
drab dullness that surrounds me
more than your sweet smile?

what sweeter sound could
drift on the wind to my ears
than your angel-voice?

what depths could I reach
that would pull me deeper still
like your gorgeous eyes?

what beauty shimmers
and shines as brilliantly as
the beauty of you?

The Moon Exists for Love

Its
beams
reaching
down,
giving a smile to a frown.
Distanced eyes meet above.
The moon exists for love.

Early Dawn

The silky mist slowly lifts.
Mountains try to hide the burning
sun, peeking underneath
a cloudless sky.
The awe of early dawn,
So it is in love.
