I loved you
In my dreams.
Now empty.
Like smoke from pipes.
You were just another empty pipe dream.
And I your Dreamer.
In a world where you and me could never exist….
I still dream.
I dream about you.
I dream without you.
You are an empty smoke dream that is gone;
But so long as you are still under the blue sky;
Come back to me.
Return.
Return to me.
There’s a fire in your eyes of pools of darkness and you don’t realize it.
Life is beautiful but you don’t have a clue because you don’t care for the seasons.
I love you but….
Do you know this?
You’re the only magick I wanna know and the only one person I’d want in my life.
But you will never love me because fairytales don’t exist.
That’s life’s rules, but rules were meant to be broken.
You have a long face but an uncertain smile.
I’ve got you under my skin where the rain can’t get in.
And I love your mysterious laughter because it’s like music to my ears.
It’s like you’ve bewitched me
As secret eyes are watching me from across the room.
You smiled today and laughed.
You are beautiful
just the way you are
Even though you are not mine
I care about you.
He may have hurt a lot of people;
But he loves me and that does it.
He’s magickal to me.
I cannot seem to fathom the sadness in his eyes.
Tell me.
I echoed in my heart as he walked away,
Tell me we’ll be together….
Take me with you…..
Tell me you love me.
Say you’ll stay with me….
Everyone wants their own fairytale and their own love story. But not me. I am just a little woman with love problems because I can never really get a man’s attention let alone his heart. I am the mermaid who kisses the moon waiting for it to come and kiss the sea. My love is like the ocean; my heart as cold as icebergs; my anger; a hurricane amongst stormy seas; but my wrath; a tsunami of a raging wave that could sink your whole world.
And break
your
heart.
You’re everything I wanna feel at once.
You are magick and sunlight and you make me think of colors that don’t even exist.
You make me feel warm all over;
And my head starts to spin.
Tell me about the stars darling,
Translate darkness into light like you always do.
Tell me another thing;
In fact, tell me about the sun, the moon and all its constellations.
For you are all of them.
Combined…..
Within the light you will find me.
Translating darkness in the night.
“A sky full of stars and he was staring at her.”(1) It was as though the world was not one but every color painted into the perfect pitch black with the moonlight of a thousand stars and counting could blink on and off any second.
What he saw in her was more than stars. He saw magick in her hair; a gypsy in her soul and a fierce queen in her heart, but a kind and gentle soul in his mind. He was a constant lover.
“All she wanted was for someone to look at her and see the person she hid so well.”(2) She was looking up at the stars and he fell in love with her and as he looked she looked at him and cupped his face in her hands and told him, “It’s a lonely thing, protecting a breakable heart.”(3)
He looked at her and said “For that, I am prepared, for you are my greatest adventure.” He looked at her softly, “When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.”(4)
She smiled back. “But why did you love me so much and for so long a time?”
He simply replied “There is nothing more awful in this crumbling, romantic world than losing something you love and knowing it will never make its way back again.”(5)
“And the stars blinked as they watched her carefully; jealous of the way she shone.”(6) For he was a God; beautiful and lovingly tender.

I am your most delicate flower;
And you; you are like my sun,
You breathe life that ever flows throughout my body with one gentle kiss.
You give life to me as a rain shower;
and hide me from the sky as it is cloudy, and as the water falls; it hides you; my sun.
Being with you shining down with your sapphire clear eyes is like falling into a peaceful abyss.
Your love like violent heatwaves makes me cower;
cowering into a small girl who rambles for fun.
I love you and it is this;
I am your most delicate flower;
And you; you are like my sun,
And you make me feel empowered and unenveloped and that is bliss.
You give me life thrugh all your rain showers
and spread warmth on me when the rain is done
and I can’t seem to find anyone else who will love me like this.
But as I bloom; over me you cower
And you love me like the sun.
And at night it is you that I continually begin to miss.
Because I love your sun as the flowers and I, the weeds of daisies that you long to kiss.
You’re my inspiration to write poetry.
You look at me like I’m magick and you look at me like every girl wants to be looked at.
Your face is like a beautiful poisonous painting that I wish to touch.
The only thing that is alive to me.
Your soul is like a lake that gets deeper and deeper than the trench itself.
You have a lot of depth and your spirit is like a butterfly that only knows how to fly.
You put butterflies in my stomach and when I wanna see you, I merely glimpse but I do dream of kissing your full, soft lips.
Your skin is coffee creamed and simply something I wish to touch over and over again by a simple caress.
Your heart is very big to those you care for and open to those you love most.
I can’t seem to break through to your heart;
You’re something I wish I had the keys to; for your heart is like a garden maze, but at the end of the maze, your walls are still too high and it’s gates;
locked and protected.
And when I see you; your eyes light up my whole world; for you are steady and calm and your warmth is surrounding me in circles like the sun.
You are my moon, and your moonlight shines in the darkness surrounding me with your light and guiding me through the darkness like a child lost in the woods;
Like a wolf howling to you through the darkness.
So close and yet so far.
Your lips are full; your skin like coffee; your hair is as black and as smooth as fur.
Your eyes are wide and full of curiosity, caring and knowledge.
I love you and that is that.
You’re all my favorite pages in an old book I keep reading.
You’re all the poetry in the world and your skin is soft; your mouth on mine tasting like wine.
You are all my favorite songs with their lyrics rhyming to the beat of the melody of my heart.
You make me want to write for you are all my poetry.
It was kind of romantic; that place
The moon; pale with vibrant silver;
And the gleam of the lamplight off the road without its sidewalk with the trash can right next to it.
The gate around the corner and the way you looked at me with tender eyes with your tender thoughts.
The way you looked at me out from your balcony through your windowsill.
That is what I love about you.
You were so close and yet so far from me.
For a moment as I glimpsed at you through your window pane,
And as you looked at me; you and I were together for forever.
And forever was just a moment.
To me.
Love,
Tell me you love me.
No one can beat us if we’re together and we could get old and die together.
Because we only live once.
Take my heart and feel all my heart beats because in a way the silence of the moonlight told me forever;
“It is a forever with you” the whisper of the stars said.
As the moonlight said we could rewrite our destinies and make a book full of pages of our fate.
You se my cup of coffee in the mornings.
My adventure in the afternoon.
My sweet kiss at night.
Tell me we could write our fate together and seal it.
Because in a sky full of stars, we could rewrite them.
Just by looking through chapters in old books….
Shadow me with your love
And enshroud me with your light.
For darling I love you and I am your fool.
Take me with you to your world.
For each and every chapter that I write in my story leads back to you.
You are the book I wish to write in.
And the one I wanna read.
Shine light on me.
Or….
Lie to me.
Tell me you love me and kiss me with tender kisses so I can feel your starlight with the moon twinkling in the dead of the night.
Love me fearlessly and don’t bother to worry because I’m yours and you are everything that is mine.
I love your poetry.
I love your soul.
I love your mind
And
I keep you
Inside my heart and my soul.
Tell me sweet little lies and ignite my fire.
How can I love a man who tries to protect me solely from his heart?
I get so overwhelmed that I guess that I cannot find a chance to put the stars; the constellations; the planets together.
I love you.
I love you.
Say you’ll translate darkness into light for me.
Being the fact that your soul is a light that may never go out.
Because I know our love makes light.
I’ve achieved many things then and again
“But of all the things of mice and men,
It could have been, it could have been.”(1)
I don’t know much about love,
But I sure could cook you breakfast every morning.
I could try to make your bed,
But in the meantime if you decide you wanna come home to me,
I sure will make sure you’re safe and secure
And I’d do just about anything to put a roof on top of your head.
Kurt Vonnegut (1)
You have the gift to shut me up by kissing me all the time….
and….
by letting me touch your body.
Because mine was begging to be touched by yours and your fingers that lace my back.
The silence of the moon dances with my thoughts to a brand new sunrise.
There is moonlight in your soul
And stardust in your eyes
You have yet to awaken to my heartbeat.
As you lay yourself down in me.
I feel like I gotta have you in my body.
As I type furiously into the night.
Touch me darling.
Touch me….
Tenderly….
But don’t you want me
more? Like I want you?
Loving me on my bed?
I look out the window and it is raining. And I still see droplets falling out of my eyes on deck; droplets of rain falling into the water like memories of you and me.
I’ve been thinking about you all weekend long. As the seconds turn to minutes, as the minutes turn into hours, as the hours turn to days to weeks, to months, to years and finally into seasons. You may forget me one day. But all I know (knew) was that I’ll be coming home again to you.
I don’t love your body,
But,
I love you.
All I need is just me, you and two cups of coffee.
The boys at home are saying I’m white. all that matters is you love me. You’re beautiful.
He’s thee only thing I see
And the only thing I seem to think about.
I love everything about him and I love you.
I love you; I love you; I love you
Ten thousand times moreover.
Please say you’ll come back to love me again.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
