The love I capture in a glance
would fill an eternity,
The space between our hearts is nil
This love was purely the will of God
I know with certainty

A love to last the ages
told of only on a books pages
two become one, and grow old
That's not how the common tale is told

The story stops at happily ever after
But it doesn't recount the laughter
It doesn't show the baby, and the joy
It doesn't tell of a love, not even time can destroy...

It just says the end, leaving so much untold...
So I will tell the rest.
Our love to come is on blank pages
waiting to be written, and we will be blessed...

Thank you for your heart
I have mine as a gift for you
I'm sorry that its been shattered before, Its true
None the less, It will love you deeply, with every piece,

What did I think you were?
An angel in disguise?
What did you think I was?
A kid hiding behind her lies?

You took me in
under your wing
did you really know?
Did you know everything?

I was a child lost in the store,
You were the parent, sick with worry
You found me
With love, fear and fury

I love the friend I found in you
I love the person I am now
Because you had the faith
I know we will all make it somehow

Brother, You've been there
In my darkest hour,
You were the darkened hand on my shoulder
Behind the scenes, the cloaked power

You kept me uplifted
You kept me on track
I owe you my life
You've always had my back.

I was scared, I was hurt
I didn't understand the things you said
I didn't understand the anger you had
I had no idea how your heart bled
This is a poem for my brother who always had my back. Who I never knew was standing behind me, comforting me. It always seemed he was just behind me breathing down my neck, until I grew up and saw him for who he really was. Thank you Tom.

My life had just been wrecked
My mind twisted in ways it shouldn't
My heart was scattered across the world
My fears surrounded me
the darkness clouded my thoughts
I was plagued with nightmares
the stress was never ending.


Then, In a moment of blinding clarity
I saw your eyes,
they connected with mine from across a room.
That smile, that face, that light that shown
I wanted that light so desperately,
for my very own.
You had a meek assurance
that I had never known
a smile and a hug,
that said I'd never be alone.

I care not for my darkened past
In time they will all be forgotten
I care not for all those angry people
who had tried to turn me rotten...
Because in your love and grace
I find the pieces of my peace
and they all fall into place.

I wish you could walk through
the corridors of my heart
then  you could see,
where pain ends and love starts
It seems as though the love is spreading
to even the darkest of rooms
its leaving me with such a peace
as it flourishes and blooms

Now I see what the books meant
when my friends and authors spoke of love
I had never fathomed how wonderful it is
It is far more beautiful than what I could dream of

They said with true love, there is no fear
and for me that is the hardest thing
that I ever had to hear
I felt my self a creature of the darkest fright
and that I would forever be alone
to toss and turn through the night

That was until you opened my eyes
to what love was truly to be
and the nightmares that once haunted
were then dreams of you and me

My fear at times returns at night
and I awake almost in tears
but I know I just have to call to you
and you'll chase away my fears.

this love that you give me, unconditionally so,
is what makes you so amazing, it's sad that you don't know.
So I will tell you every day, until this voice of mine cracks,
that everything you are fixes everything I lack.
We are equals on this playing field, within this game of life.
I want to lift you higher, and take away your strife.
Together we will walk, forever hand in hand,
and laugh at the world because they couldn't understand.
They have never loved, near as deep as we,
and I pray one day I hope to show all that you mean to me.

You make the words flow from me like a river from my heart,
but you can stop the rush,
and leave me breathless with just a touch. Just thinking about your hand in mine,
sends shivers up and down my spine,
I think of all the times with my lips pressed to yours,
it seems as though something inside me cries piously for more.
I close my eyes at night, and its your face that I see,
Your smile, your eyes, these memories set me free.
though we are nigh 1000 miles apart,
I carry within my chest, the visage of your heart.
With the protective shadow of your loving embrace,
I know there is nothing that I could not face.
One day I know, I will wake up to your smile...
everything I go through now, will be worth it, in a little while.
So I will hold my breath, until again we meet,
so you can steal it away as you sweep me off my feet

We swim through the seas
With a southerly breeze,
That is this life, just searching.

Blindly reaching, fumbling
Loosing our way and stumbling,
Until we find the one who can save us

You stretched out your hand
And brought me to back to land
You put my feet on solid ground

Your touch opened my eyes
Even just out of surprise
That someone like you, loved me.
