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!

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Forever Love

[image error]

Could she be out there

The one that’s on my mind,

If I searched through her thoughts

What would I find?

What needs and desires

Linger behind her eyes,

Those rich pools of love

As deep and lovely as the skies

I gaze upon her smile

And admire the waves in her hair,

I stand like a sailor at sea

Mesmerized, I am lost in the stare

The sound of her laughter

Is like a whisper in the wind,

I’d wait for the breeze from her heart

And the rain inviting me in

Lured by the words

Floating on her voice that is Heaven,

On a scale of one-to-ten

Her beauty is an eleven

Could she be out there

The one that hides in my dreams,

What if I found her in the words

That pour out of me in streams

She would immortalize my poetry

As she soaks onto each page,

She would give meaning to true love

That lasts beyond an age

An era—an epoch

Beyond any measure of time,

If I searched through her thoughts

Would she say she is eternally mine?

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: IGNORANCE IS BLISS

[image error]

I could say I know what I know

Yet I may not know anything at all,

I know I cried in the Spring

And I laughed in the Fall

I know I whispered in Winter

A prayer to the gods,

I saw in the Summer

That the stars were the odds

If one of them fell

From the skies high above,

I know I would have dared

To wish for true love

But if a wish won’t come true

Because it’s not in my fate,

What would I do without you

If I had loved you too late

What if our lifetime of love

Had been in a lifetime before?

And though you loved me too much

I had loved you just a little bit more

Would that have been enough

For our love to reach us from the past?

Would you believe I loved you first

And that I want to love you last

I may not know you that well

Because we are just friends,

But I know that the truest love

Is the one that never ends

No alpha and omega

As we redefine forever,

I simply know in my heart

That we should be together

If you ask me how I know

I’ll say that I’d rather understand,

Because to love you is to be

Water that cannot resist the sand.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: IF HER NAME WAS…

[image error]

If her name was beauty

She would be the untouchable flower,

If her name was time

She would redefine forever in the final hour

If her name was heaven

She would fall just like the rain,

If her name was love

I’d fall for her just the same

If her name was music

She would be the harmony of my soul,

If her name was heartbreak

She would be the one to make my heart whole

If her name was poetry

She would be the deepest verse,

If her name was magic

She would be the gift to lift the curse

If her name was happy

She would be an angel’s laughter,

If her name was story

She would be my happily ever after

If her name was perfect

She would be worthy of honor and laud,

If her name was language

She would be the idiom of God.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: PIRATE OF PASSION

[image error]

It all started

When I gazed into her eyes,

Seeing her smile

Was like watching the sunrise

Her beauty indescribable

Akin to catching light,

She is the moon and the stars

That illuminates my dreams at night

When my heart whispers poetry

I hear the echo of her name,

When my soul feels warmth

I feel the presence of her flame

Fluttering like a butterfly

Trying to kiss the shadows,

If loving her meant death

Then send me to the gallows

As a pirate of passion

She is the one I want to please,

For her heart I’d chase a sunset

Across the seven seas

I’d read the constellations

To find out where she hides,

Despite miscalculations

I’d sail against the tides

If she smiled in the darkness

I’d swim to where her reflection kissed the sea,

My alpha and omega

She is more than a goddess to me.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: WHAT MIGHT I DO?

[image error]

What might I remember

From a lifetime before,

If I felt the waves of your caress

Arriving at my shore

What might I hear

When I listen to the breeze,

Would the echo of your voice

Put my mind at ease

What might I taste

If your lips kissed mine,

Would it be the wine of love

Come straight from the vine

What might I take

From a fraction of forever,

If I felt eternity

Fall on me in drops

What might I lose

If I dared to blink,

Would you vanish from my sea

And leave my heart alone to sink

What might I tell myself

And believe it to be true,

When in a world of lies

My skies already fell for you.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: NEVER ENOUGH

[image error]

Would it be enough

To see her in your dreams,

That glimpse into heaven

Where destiny is what it seems

Each second is a lifetime

You endure without a breath,

Love will last until the last

Beyond the reach of death…

Would it be enough

To have her in your embrace,

Inhale your reason for breathing

Exhale—and she may leave without a trace

If she lingered on a whisper

Would you catch her with your heart,

Guard her as your best kept secret

To never be apart…

Would it be enough

To lose yourself in her gaze,

To fall into the realm of her thoughts

And navigate her maze

Rush not to find her heart

Fret not that you’ll miss your fate,

For in time you will discover

That she was worth the wait…

Would it be enough

To inhale her scent,

Have her caress your soul

And wonder where the time went

You breathe in her essence

To feel her affection,

To not live without her presence

You’d chose her perfection…

Would it be enough

To wait until she thinks about you,

Not because you need her

But because she needs you too

Let her find what’s in her mind

Before you see a heart that’s true,

Because you will never be too much

For the one who can’t get enough of you.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: DREAMS

[image error]

How often may I touch you

But only with my words,

What may I confess

That you have never heard

How often may I see you

In the realm of the page,

Before I go to sleep

I permit my thoughts to set the stage

How often may I hold you

And find comfort in your embrace,

The reflection of perfection

Is the vision of your face

Your pretty brown eyes

And the high cheeks of your smile,

Akin to the star-filled skies

For which I would go the extra mile

And then there’s your hair

That falls in gentle waves,

I am lost in the stare

That a lonely heart craves

How often may I hear your voice

When I listen to those midnight streams,

As I fall deep into my slumber

And hope to see you in my dreams

Though if you frolic in the night

Where your heart is hidden by darkened hues,

I’ll bid you the sweetest dreams

And write in my sleep to caress my muse.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: SONG AND DANCE

[image error]

Let this be a dance

Between you and me,

We shall take our time

And learn what will make us a we

Each step we take

Will teach us something new,

I’ll take my time

To learn everything about you

What makes you happy

What makes you smile,

Let’s make forever

Seem like a little while

Even if time flies

Eternity will pass in a blink,

You and I will go together

Like a smile and a wink

Let us be sappy

And live in our laughter,

You be my happy

And I’ll be your ever after

Because stories are written

And stories are told,

And I want you to be my tale

When we are too old

Let’s live in a notebook

Where the writing is in cursive,

Let us be the legend

Future generations find immersive

Would you be my poem

Would you be my song,

Would you be my right

After everything has gone wrong

I would love nothing more

Than to know I have loved you,

So that the hearts of tomorrow

Will believe in love that is true

But the greatest blessing

To be bestowed upon thee,

Is that when God said: “Let there be love”

You chose to love me.
