I searched for a Sunrise
     And found it in the light of your Eyes
          Gazing deeply into mine
     Brightening my darkest days.

I searched for Comfort
     And found it in the warmth of your Hand
          Sliding gently down my spine
     Easing me just a little closer.

I searched for Happiness
     And found it in the round of your Lips
          Smiling sweetly, intensely my way
     Inviting me to kiss.

I searched for Peace
     And found it in the sound of your Voice
          Soothing me with the words you say
     Making me blush.

I searched for Life
     And found it in the depth of your Love
          Unleashing all mental and physical holds
     You freed me.

I searched for Heaven on earth
     And found it intertwined in your Arms
          Weaving bodies into one mold
     Losing myself

I searched for You
     The other half that makes me whole
          The missing mate to my lonely soul
    My greatest Discovery.

Desolate beings full of,

Awkward exchanges,
                         Empty glares,
Frigid collisions,
                        Struggling stares.

Disdained lovers with,

Vanishing memories,
                         Vain affections,
Impetuous attempts,
                         Impotent connections.

Familiar Strangers

We are

A promising future

No more.

You wanted...

To believe in Fantasies,
     Happily ever afters
And skies so blue.

To know the peace of,
     Warm embraces and tender kisses
From a lover that's true.

To feel secure,
   In the now,  hope for a future,
Trusting hurt would never ensue.

But...

When faced,
With the possibility
     Of this being reality
You quickly flew.

There was just one thing missing
     From this love situation
You had to love you.

Rendered helpless Amidst

The warmth of your touch
     The might in your grasp
          The softly whispered request

Kiss me T

Having not been...
     Touched liked that
          Needed like that
               Desired like that
                    In Years

I had no choice

But to Surrender.
