Where have you been hiding my
love,as each day without you will
never come again as I have sought
you for so long that you surely
must feel the pulsing of my endless
longing and I have sought you
since childhood and I care not whose
you were or even whose you are
because the sound of your voice
and your words tell me that you
are mine and that you are waiting.

Till now my life has been but a fools
mission as they mock the madness
of my searching, my work, my
talents are but ashes,my poetry
only unshed tears that flow like
rivers in my desperate search for
you.

I wait in hope and sorrow thinking
and hoping that you will come to
me some tomorrow and connect our
souls just one more time after what
seems like several lifetimes, or is it
all a dream, but you need to know
that I have bravery to spend on pain,
faith to wall up fear, and courage
to fight danger when it comes, but
there is no defense against loneliness,
but my love shall always be because
when I love, I love with my heart,
I love with everything in me, and
I love deeply and you hold my
heart in your hands,so please handle
it with care.

You are my mortal muse, the one
to inspire my heart, move my soul
and take my mind away to
destinations unknown and you
open my eyes to a reality not seen
and you awaken the creativity that
burns inside of me.
