He's gotta be tall, dark and handsome
be chasing stars or have some
heart, passion and art
with moonbeams in his eyes
He can serenade just breathing
pass you the world within his greeting
contain the spark to start a blaze of tomorrows
He should be an open book
Speak the truth with just a look
The candle and the mirror reflecting it's light
No questions asked, he should be solid as stone
fill you up and make you feel at home
be the one who dedicates every song to you
He could be Mr. Right
but nothing's black and white,
he's Gray

If the burn
Is what defines my name,
then lost in love
forever I’ll remain,
but if adrift
in chilly formless sea,
I'm like a bird
who flies too high to see
clearly, but strains and squints
from a safe distance because
that’s the way I learned it,
I know of no other way to be.

      -- and in the darkness
          we pray to our God about
          everything and nothing
           day after day,
          year after year until
                  one day when we least
          expect it we are heard

          and a sunflower blooms
          as bright as the sun.
             A beautiful soul in repose.
I want it.
I want it now.
Give it to me.
Give it to me right now.

Give me a burn that defines me,
             Give me clear sight from a distance,

               give it all to me.
          
I want the burn from your brightness,
I want to see clearly in flight,

I want your soul,

I want to know my name.
Inspired by my beautiful wife, she will always be "my sunflower", and the song "Soul" by Rocco DeLuca and the Burden

She is the beginning
As well as the end
The best part of the middle
Then start over again

The sweet part of the taste
On the tip of your tongue
The wisdom of old
The giggle of young

She is the breeze
That blows in the Spring
The long distance call
That brings you close with the ring

The moment you hear
Someone say yes
She is the mystery
That hides in the guess

She is the hope
That you hold onto
The talk of the town
The brand in the new

The little crease
At the edge of the smile
She's the bees knees
The answer to why

She is all this and
She is all that
When it comes to it all
She's where it's all at
30 years ago today I married the love of my life...
We've had our ups and downs but over all it's been a wonderful ride!

gazing upon the empty words
breathes life as once she read
words on a page of nothingness
found love there in its stead
to know his soul as he doth hers
love never accepts defeat
though distance mars the loving hearts
for ne'er the twain shall meet

Diary of the Damned
I think about you often, too
For you are such of dreams
As we embrace in spirit
To kiss each other
To hold each other
To know each other
My nights are also more beautiful
And my days so much brighter
Now that I have found you

Our heartfelt imaginations
In each moment, on each page
Entwine in our veins
Giving purpose
Bringing clarity
As we begin to understand
How lovely, and less lonely, our days have become
Now that we’ve found each other

In what seems a short while
In each moment, we have found something so different
In reading each other
In feeling each other
In healing each other
I cherish every smile
And my worries slowly disappear
Now that I have found you

In this moment, and every moment to come
Let us continue to make each moment as beautiful as our dreams
This was written based upon, and in answer to, a poem called "a letter of almost love to a poet i almost know" by Stephanie Lynn. It would not have been possible if not for her poem. I highly recommend reading it, as well =^)

With
No exceptions
No conditions

The way my heart beats
Whenever you are around

The way you love me
Without making a sound

The way you hold me tight
When my ship runs aground

"That is the way I will always love you"

The way the river flows
Into the sea

The way color beautifies
The cool mountains fall trees

The way the sight of you
Sometimes buckles my knees

"That is the way I will always love you"

The way the suns rays pour down
To warm the earth

The way joy belongs
At the heart of new birth

The way I'm loving you
For all I am worth

"That is the way I will always love you"

The way you hold me close
When I am in pain

The way you kiss me gently
And then kiss me again

The way I will always be here
Through the sun and the rain

"That is the way I will always love you"
For my beautiful wife on our 29th year anniversary this weekend...
It goes by so fast when your in love...

And then

without warning

without consideration

without my permission

every love song

was about you

I wish the first moment I met you,
Would resound forever.

Never needing food or sleep,
Just content in your presence.

The feeling of love and awe,
Beauty captured in a moment.

My desire is to go back,
To that very first day…
And if I may,
I think I’d kiss you,
If just to say,
I’m yours.

To see and smell you’re autumn hair,
Matching you’re hazel glazed eyes perfectly.

Felicity,
How delightfully,
You kiss me.

Bliss,
Thy name is,
Such sweet remiss.

First,
I will love you,
Then I will quench your thirst.

Then,
In half remembered ecstasy’s,
I will taste you when.

After,
Your chest will rise tiredly,
Stuggling for laughter.

Finally,
I will hug and cuddle you,
Showing that my love is not trivial.

When,
I wake from the dream,
I’ll still remember that you are a godsend.

I used to believe there was something wrong with me.
And then I met you.
I used to be sick with loneliness,
But you cured it with you’re faithfulness.
Whenever I looked into the dark, I saw empty shadows,
Now it is you that fills the gallows.
Before I met you I was dead but a live.
Now I’m in love and living my life.
Whereas before depression and anger were present,
Now it is only happiness and joy, in every second.
I write these to let out my emotions,
So that you may cry tears of elation.
I want to scream out you’re name and etch it on my heart,
Because it most certainly beats with you’re mark.
I am not the smartest or fastest or tallest or strongest.
But I put in the effort and I’ll work for your content.
I promise not to you hurt you, if you’ll promise the same,
Because in the end we are opposites but one in name.

Loving You,
Is so painful,
Too cliché,
And risqué…

Too dangerous,
Too incredulous,
Too out of bounds,
Too without grounds.

A soul mate,
A friend,
A lover,
A mother.

It’s coming to a close,
And all these words, and ideas and moans,
They are my own.
But they are more yours than mine,
Because I am nothing, if not on you’re vine.
Feed me and pet met and water me too,
Show me lots of love, and like an angel sent from above,
I will radiate my light on you.

It’s not much, for sure,
But it’s what I’ve got.
It’s added to you’re presence,
Your heavenly beauty.

I’ll leave you with one last thought,
Something that shall not be forgot.
You’re only young and you’re only alive once,
So make it the best, make it loved,
That’s what I’ve done, what I did,
When I found the one.

Mia.
