I Thought I Knew

I thought I knew everything
there is to know about life
but from the second
you entered my world
you proved me wrong.
You opened my eyes to the things
I thought I knew...
I thought I knew the importance of life...
        until the first time I saw you
I thought I knew the meaning of comfort...
        until the first time I looked into your eyes
I thought I knew the meaning of beauty...
        until the first time I heard you laugh
I thought I knew the meaning of softness...
        until the first time I felt your touch
I thought I knew the meaning of perfection...
        until the first time I held you in my arms
I thought I knew the meaning of strength...
        until the first time I heard your heartbeat
I thought I knew the meaning of passion...
        until the first time I kissed your lips
I thought I knew the meaning of trust...
        until the first time you told me I had your heart
I thought I knew the meaning of complete surrender...
        until I accepted your love
I thought I knew...
        but you proved me wrong

LONELY QUARANTINE


LOVE...
separated by distance
WE...
connected by the nature of our relationship


Moments...
I feel you needing me...
wanting to rectify...
and satisfy...
ALL USELESS


Wondering...
"What if..."
"If only..."
"Given the chance..."
"What I wouldn't do..."
ALL POINTLESS


To give
To hold
To secure
To heal
...yet I cannot.


Not here...
not from my lonely quarantine
thousands of miles away
from you.

BEAT OF YOUR HEART


Your head on my shoulder
As our breaths
Slowly mingle

The feel of your body
Getting closer
To mine…
So divine

Looking into your eyes
So open and trusting
With the belief
That I will shield you
From harm

Holding your trembling hands
To our darkness
Away…
At bay

The speed of
The beat of your heart
Strong and distracting

The gentle words
From your liberating lips
Intoxicating and awakening

You…the reason I get up everyday
You…the source of my strength
You…the warrior of my soul
You…the keeper of my heart

FEEL OF LOVE REVIVED

Reality is far too true
To believe in fantasies
That exist no longer
If I could only read to you
The pages of my heart
You would understand
That what I share is real
I open my soul
Like pages
I have never read
And have forgotten
The feel of familiarity
And the feel of love revived
If only the future could be controlled
I would want you in it
The lingering kisses
The consuming lust
The feel of love
The understanding of needs
The unspoken words
The sense of belonging
The new found richness I found
In the essence of you

PRIMAL NEED OF YOU

My search...
a way to rise
above my own private mediocrity
to search for something better
something perfect
something free
to rescue my from my darkness
purge me of my guilt
save me from my own infirmity.
Yet I did not need
the journey to know that
I cannot reach perfection and
I do not have to carry the world's
problems on my shoulders
because I can rely on you.
I now realize the truth...
All I am searching for is the intimacy
you are willing to share
To love my face, to know my form
Admire my strength
Accept my insecurity
To read my mind, to possess my soul
And explore the instinct
- the primal need of you -
I harness within.

VOICE

That voice…
That siren-like voice calling my name
Making me love you more and more each passing day
So sweet and so perfect.

To hear that voice in the heat of passion…
As I kiss you
Hear you breathe
Hear you gasp
Hear you moan
Hear you say my name over and over again
As if to wash me all over with your love

I feel you
I feel you so close…
I can taste it.
