Awakened in the early hours,
the smell of grass, the scent of flowers.
A smile from you being sent my way,
and so begins a perfect day.
Let me be your sunshine
Let me brighten up your day
Let me take your winter blahs
and chase them all away
I love you; its a secret,
don't let anybody know.
That's why when we are speaking,
I try not to let it show.

I double check each word I say,
before it leaves my lips,
and try to shake this image,
of my hands upon your hips.

So tell me how'm I doing?
Do you even have a clue,
that every waking thought I have,
is always about you?

I wish I could just tell you,
and know you wouldn't run.
But I'm scared this revelation,
would leave us both undone.

I love you; its a secret,
which to myself I'll keep,
cos the last thing that I wanna do,
is come off like a creep.

So I sit here and say nothing,
not knowing what to do.
Praying one day you will say,
just what I am to you.

I long for the first days of spring
for winter time to end
In icy snow and frigid cold
to sadness I descend

I long for spring and daffodils
no more this frozen land
that you and I may walk the hills
together, hand in hand

I long for spring and waterfalls
the coming of new life
that I may go on bended knee
And ask you to be my wife

Then I’ll long for spring and summer too
for winter and for fall
That I may spend each day with you
and learn to love them all

Incomplete, is how I feel
sitting here alone
Incomplete is how I feel
knowing you are gone

Incomplete, the world is now
that your smile is gone
Incomplete, the world is now
death taking you was wrong

Incomplete, your life is now
you never will grow old
Incomplete, your life is now
a story never fully told

I write about religion
sometimes yours and sometimes mine
I write about the people
some still here some left behind

I write about my loves
some are living some are dead
I even write bout ***
on the floor and in the bed

And I write 'bout politicians
and the futility of war
and how their self serving actions
appall me to the core

I write about love
and I write about hate
the changing of the seasons
and how I'm always late

I write about ideas
that come into my head
what it feels like to be alive
and what if I were dead

I write about so many things
from different points of view
So for opening the floodgates
consider this write, a thank you.
You are my "Anam Cara".
The eternal friend of my soul.
This we share together
is ancient and is whole.

We have no secrets,
each others light we share.
No time or distance can sever
this bond we have declared.

Our friendship is open.
Our trust is complete.
Our souls radiate together
as we accept one another
with no tarnish of deceit.

Be strong for I am with you,
in everything you do.
When exhaustion you doth overtake,
I'm here to pull you through.

When insecurity abounds,
and you are filled with doubt.
Be strong for I am with you,
together we will out.

And when hard choices you must face,
not alone you make your stand.
For I am right beside you,
and your hand is in my hand

And late at night whilst in your bed,
you feel so safe from harm.
It is 'cause I am with you,
and you lay within my arms

You are the moon that shakes my seas
I am the sun that brightens your dreams

You are the silent wind in this fiery land
For I am the fire you cause to expand

You are the soft whisper in my ear
You, always saying what I need to hear

What speaks louder than our implicit gaze?
Nothing, as I have found throughout these days

My thoughts, they wander, and always find you
For your are my compass, who's love continues to accrue

During life's journey our paths have crossed
And the memory of you and I will never be lost

For you paralyze me with the severity of a tigers stare
Yet avert the inclination of my thoughts away from despair

In life, it is difficult to determine if my reality is clear
But I know that our undeniable love for each other is true and sincere

For you are my moon, and I am your sun
And without your balance, I feel as if I am no one

HOPELESSLY IN LOVE WITH YOU

© mpijanowski

At the break of dawn
And the evening too
My thoughts are consumed
With visions of you

Whether I’m awake
Or asleep at night,
Beautiful images of you
Come into sight.

My feelings are one with yours;
Not separate and apart.
It’s like, the emotions we have
Come form the same heart.

I can feel your love
And your thoughts are so clear,
And even though you’re not with me
You always feel near.

Never before have my feelings…
Been so true
But then, never before, have I been…
So hopelessly in love with you.
