walk into the room
grab me straight away
its been too long
it's been too many days
no time for talk
no time for words
i need your arms
make me your world
your lips touch mine
and your body speaks
i dont think you realize
that you're all i need
the moments pass
my heartbeats
to the rhythm of yours
our souls meet
i can feel your legs
wrap around mine
for a moment of bliss
everythings fine
your lips utter no sound
they're moving slow
speaking a language
no one besides me will know
so i hold you closer
and i grab you tight
for a moment in the world
i give up the fight
i give in to you
let you take control
you take over me
my mind, body and soul
and then breaks the silence
a sentence is spoken
our silent dance
is once broken
i love you
you say
and away goes
my pain
**i love you
i love you
i love you
// for it has been said that actions speak louder than words //
    [**** Wei was a great Chinese painter and poet, of the 8th century --Max Eastman]

IN THIS high room, my room of quiet space,
Sun-yellow softened for my happiness,
I learn of you, **** Wei, and of your loves;
Your rhythmic fisher sweet with solitude
Beneath a willow by the river stream;
Your aged plum tree bearing lonely bloom
Beside the torrent's thunder; misty buds
Among your saplings; delicate-leaved bamboo.
My room is sweet because of you, **** Wei,
Your tranquil and creative-fingered love
So many mounds of mournful years ago
In that cool valley where the colors lived.
My ceiling slopes a little like far mountains.
Your delicate-leaved bamboo can flourish here.
If each tear is an apology
then i'm infinitely sorry
Opia. Noun. The ambiguous intensity of looking into someone's eyes, which can fell simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.

As you lie in my arms, watching the television, you don't notice that my undivided attention is focused on you. Something I've been dreaming of for weeks, and it's finally come true. Even better, from your angle, you can't see me staring into your eyes, so I don't feel the nervous compulsion to turn away. Whether directly or not, I could drink in your eyes with mine, for hours, and they would be among the best hours of my life.
Then there's the other hand, held tightly by trepidation. I love the prospect of your eyes staring into mine, but it's not without its fears. I'm afraid you'll see all the pain and fears that I've spent the past seven years working to overcome. I'm afraid you'll see all the insecurity and doubts I have about myself. I'm afraid you'll see all the words that I long to whisper in your ear, but can't, because I'm terrified of scaring you away. I'm afraid you won't like the fact that, behind these eyes lies only pictures and thoughts of you. But most of all, I'm afraid that, unlike me, who loves every detail, and lives for moments like these, you won't love the things you see. I long for the day when you stare happily into my eyes, but I'm frightened that you won't enjoy the secrets they reveal.
