ROMANTIC MUSINGS: My World

[image error]


If I saw heaven in my dreams


Would you be my angel,


I’m a demon without hell


In the mirror I see a stranger


I no longer recognize


The man I used to be,


Perhaps that’s for the best


And for you – I have become


The best version of me…


 


The hopeless romantic


Who had lost hope in love,


Looks on with new hope


At the stars high above


Let them fall into my lap


As you gaze up at me,


I’ll run my fingers through your hair


As I relay to you


How I hope things will be…


 


Let every star represent


Each moment between us,


Let us gather the galaxies


Let us do this just because


You could be my moon and stars


You could be my girl,


If I saw a planet in my dreams


Would you be my world?

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Story Book Romance

[image error]There was a time

When—for inspiration—I would sit and hark,

Trying to find the words

Was like searching for shadows in the dark

Somehow things have changed

It all started with your smile,

I need only sit in silence

For less than a little while

In these peaceful moments

Where I cling to the realm of sleep,

I dare not open my eyes

For it is you I may no longer get to keep

Yet you linger in my thoughts

Dancing at the foot of my mountain,

My muse at the waterfall

You bring the youth to my fountain

I drink from the waters

Of my imagination,

I savor the flavor

As you prepare the pagination

Your smile started the story

With the sunrise in your eyes—a look,

Until I close my eyes that final time

You may yet become my favorite book!

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Truth Is Love

[image error]These words are yours


These feelings you inspire,


If this pen was the torch


Then you are the fire


The heat the intensity


That comes from your gaze,


Illuminates the shadows


And sets the pages ablaze


Pushing back the darkness


Where my vulnerability hides,


Luring me to your shores


As the moon pulls the tides


From the depths of my oceans


The emotions now swirl,


I come to you in waves


There is no other girl


Timeless, unrushed


I am bound by your night,


Where the stars that guide me


Are angels in flight


If I fell into your eyes


Would your angels catch my falling words,


And bring to your fire


The truth you’ve never heard.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Immortal

[image error]


I sit beneath the stars

I watch as they glisten,

I find comfort in the silence

It’s for your voice that I listen

Is my name on your lips

In the whisper of the wind,

I feel an angel’s fingertips

Caress me from within

Heaven reaches into my shadows

When I think of your smile,

Even though I know I must go

I tell myself to wait a little while

If patience is a virtue

Then for you I’ll be a saint,

I’ll wait until you see me

Even if my chivalry is quaint

Though if desire is a demon

That is captured in a stare,

Then I’ll be the prisoner of heaven

And surrender to your care

Do with me as you want

Do with me as you need,

I’ll even be your deity

And show you that a demigod can bleed

Pierce my heart with your arrow

Are you the goddess of romantic love?

If so, then you are also my muse

As I sit beneath the stars above.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Save the Last Dance

[image error]


The preambles of love

Are an innocent dance,

The first steps found

When you are lost at first glance

The innocent poetry

Lingers on a whisper,

You have a memory from tomorrow

Of the night you first kissed her

The taste of her promise

Drips from her lips,

The elixir of heaven

You savor in sips

But that’s just the fantasy

And it doesn’t compare,

To the feel of her heartbeat

And the scent in her hair

She’s in your embrace

When you dance cheek to cheek,

She’ll become your strength

And the moment you are weak

With her in your arms

You’ll want the dance to last forever,

But in the beginning

You’ll merely be glad you are together.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Eternally Lovely

[image error]


I picture you in the morning

As the sun rises behind my eyes,

Your smile awakens me

And my lonely soul flies

I linger through the heavens

I walk among the clouds,

In a sea of unfamiliar faces

You stand out among the crowds

There are mountains in the distance

Rivers, lakes, and streams,

Yet nothing leaves me breathless

As your beauty—or so it seems

Leave your whisper on my lips

With traces of your heart,

Breathe me back to life

Be the muse behind my art

I’ll picture you in the evening

When I sleep and close my eyes,

I’ll hold your smile in my dreams

The way the moon is held by the skies.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Gift

[image error]


Could you be that poem

Written in the skies,

That song in my heart

Radiating from your eyes

The voice from heaven

When you decided to speak,

That echo of the Angels

That made my heart weak

That sound in the night

From a lifetime before,

You found my heart in the light

And left me wanting more

I crave your touch

And I crave your kiss,

I crave what I never knew

As the need I’d always miss

That smile I recognize

When I’m feeling sad,

I write you this poem

Because you make me feel glad

That I met you by chance

Or perhaps it was fate,

Even if destiny deemed

That I’d adore you too late

With your baby brown eyes

Looking at me from a distance,

I see you in my life and think

How did I miss this?

Your long curly hair

Wavy and brown,

If your scent was an ocean

Then I’d surely drown

I’d lose myself forever

In the depths of your sea,

And I think to myself

What if she had loved me?

Though even if you did

Would I be worthy of you,

Did you know your name means “gift”

In the ancient language—Hebrew

First used by Shakespeare

In the Merchant of Venice,

Now used by me

Because you truly are precious!
