Love Poem #73

Wrote this well over 10 years ago. Have it on my personal Facebook profile but figured I'd share here, too.
------------------------------------

I adore you, Miss

So much I implore the Lord for more of this -

your kiss

transporting me to euphoric bliss.

Historically,

I'd launch more ships than the Trojan War did

for the glory of coming ashore

to your adoring lips

Pouring gifts at the altar of your temple

the simple pleasures of exploring your soul

being rewarded with treasures

more precious than the finest jewelry or gold;

You're my muse to make sure that our story gets told

For surely you hold

the key to my heart

you made it transform from the cold

& hard and soften it

with the gentle warmth of your soul

No,

distance isn't a hindrance when the touch of your words traverse oceans.

Is it such an absurd notion

that I'd entrust my emotions

to such beauty?

It's just my duty

to report what your touch does to me-

Reawakening love,

sentiments dormant for far too long.

The mark you've drawn

in the depths of my being

is indelible.

Unintelligible gibberish & shortage of words

have confirmed.

This is love that I fell into

I AM LOVE (Old poem)

This is a poem I wrote over two years ago. I've shared it on my personal Facebook page. Just wanted to share it here, too. Enjoy.

The consummation of passion

the give and take without asking

displayed in a fashion

like a fire blazing without ashes.

Amazing how it lasts it's

a flame devouring past actions

a tower and last bastion

of hope. A strong hold.

A grip and

a tight grasp in

arms so equipped

to hold and fight back

and maintain position

and when the road is night-black

the flame is given

to sustain the vision

the breath from whence came the mission

confessed it wasn't the best

then it changed condition

on a plane that's hidden

since I made the decision

to betray the way I was living

and now I'm living as slain

it isn't my brain or wisdom

not off the chain or the hinges.

Humility

makes me seem insane or just different.

indifferent

to what they say 'cause it isn't

in my realm of influence

when I hear You speak my name.

Paul said to Let it Be

but I question the referee

lead to see

my destiny

in e-ver-y

breath I breathe

Befriending thieves

with a di-ffer-ent weaponry

the kind you spell with L-O-V

and of course it ends with E

Dwelling in the breast of the

universal Entity

on bended knee

broke the shackles of self to set me free

Can it be

that death to me

lead to a life of ecstasy?

Invoke the wrath of enemies

when I chose a path so heavenly

And no matter the setting He

holds me with a steady Peace,

knowing He selected me,

owing no indemnities.

And so it goes, eventually

you'll know the road I'm mentioning

where life, it flows and ebbs like seas

in motion with their beckoning.

Submerge in me

yield our life to Eternity's hands;

acknowledge our smallness,

no longer concerned with our plans

Listen closely,

a whisper

in the soul of a Man

So simple, a sentiment,

with no scolding demands.

I LOVE YOU.
