Please Don’t Cry

You may note the copyright notice on this poem reads ‘2013’ instead of ’14. That’s because I actually wrote this in the Summer of 2013, and it’s been sitting in my drafts ever since. I wasn’t satisfied with it and, to be frank, am still not. I thought and think it was/is typical and bland, no flavour of it’s own whatsoever. But, as is rather apparent on my blog, not every poem can be a hit and poets must suffer a few (or several) misses here and there. It only crowds my drafts so I hope you enjoy. Or don’t, either way, it’s here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are my sun,

You are my sky,

Your glittering beauty should only be found in flowers,

I wish I had the wings to fly you away.

I see you in my dreams,

And such a beautiful dream you are,

One that brings tears to my eyes,

But you,

Please don’t cry.

I was trapped in my dream until I finally awoke to you,

Let me dry your tears,

Let me fly you away,

Hopefully one day we will be together,

One day I will get those wings,

One day we can once more die.

A Love Story

The passionate love story,

Of the Moon and the Sun,

So far apart yet still so in love,

The hot Sun burns with passion for his Moon,

The radiant Moon shines with love for her Sun,

All through the day, all through the night,

They long for each other,

But no matter how hard they try,

They can never grow closer,

Except when the Sun is setting and the Moon is rising,

And for a brief moment, the two lovers share the sky,

Lighting up the sky with the colors of their love making,

Passionate, intense, fulfilling their desire for one another,

But of course, the Sun must go,

Giving the Moon the sky all to herself,

Letting night blanket the sky,

Alone she cries her glittering tears,

She longs for him,

Much like how I long for you,

So here, under the moonlight,

Under the light of a woman suffering in love,

Take me,

Be my Sun, make me your Moon,

Let us make our own love,

Love me until the lovers of the sky are together again,

Hold me until sunrise,

When they make love once more,

Then suffer with the Sun as I suffer with the Moon,

Until the time comes when we can briefly share the sky once more,

And color the world with our love.

Sweet Imagination

I can’t tear my eyes away,

From the way his shirt falls, perfectly hugging his body,

Sculpted like a god’s,

When I try to look away,

My eyes find their way crawling back to him,

They find themselves undressing him,

Tearing every inch of cloth keeping me from heaven to shreds,

Until there is nothing left,

Until there is just him,

And me,

Running my hand down every crevice of his body,

I want him,

And I want him to want me too,

An insane desire of the body,

Filling me with a tantalizing need,

In my imagination,

The possibilities are endless,

Feeling him,

Tasting him,

Loving him with fiend-like glee,

Holding nothing back,

I imagine what I could do to him,

How I know I can make him feel,

The pleasure would last an eternity,

He would always come wanting more,

I just couldn’t look away,

I couldn’t stop imagining,

Until he was approaching me,

I suppose he didn’t want to keep it just a fantasy either.

Flowers

Your heart,

So beautiful,

Like you your face,

Like your soul,

With eyes so delicately piercing,

And skin so soft only could angel could possess,

I am taunted by the thought of you,

Creeping into my mind when I least expect,

When I try to get you off of it,

When I am dreaming,

The only thing I can dream is you,

And your hauntingly gorgeous angelic being,

Enveloped in your sweet kisses,

I feel true happiness,

Every time I am with you,

It is like the first time,

I experience love at first sight over and over,

Kissed by the goddess of love whenever you are around,

You took my shy bud of a heart,

And it bloomed into a beautiful flower,

Right in your hand,

Friable,

You could have crushed it at any time,

But you took care of it,

Under this beautiful sky you allowed it to grow,

So wonderful you are,

I love you so much,

That I hate you,

You bring me so much joy,

That you bring me the most sorrow I could ever experience,

My tears fall in big drops,

Like shining diamonds,

That fall up into the sky,

And create the stars,

That embrace your sweet soul that has left me too soon,

Always dreaming of you,

Wishing you were still here,

But you are not,

You left me too soon,

Forever loving you,

And your memory,

My flower.

My Heaven

You are my heaven,

My angel,

You snatched my heart,

Stole it from my unexpecting chest,

You are my everything,

The sky I rest under,

And the ground I walk upon,

I wish I could remain wrapped in your arms forever,

My love for you is so great,

That when I am with you I seem to be in heaven,

And yet when we are apart I don’t feel like I am in hell,

Like so many other romances,

Just the fact that I know I will be held gently by you again keeps me in heaven,

The wish to feel your passion constrict me,

Turns into reality at the end of the day,

This love like no other,

A love so extraordinary,

That you are my everything yet I know you do not give my soul meaning,

I could give you up in a heartbeat,

But that heartbeat would remain yours forever,

That one and many others,

Oh my sweet,

I wail to you,

Embrace me,

Hold me tightly,

Love me,

In turn I shall love you,

With every breath I take,

Love me.

Heart and Soul and Beyond

I finally felt what it’s like,

To love at first sight,

You shone brightly at me,

There at the end of the room,

You were so beautiful,

Though I could so barely see your face,

Without you I would surely crash,

Destroyed I would be,

Engulfed in the flame,

With you I am in paradise,

And such a sweet paradise, paradise,

So gentle with your touch,

My neck is tender with your sweet kisses,

My body is open to your passionate embrace,

You hold me so tightly,

You make me feel safe,

But then you are gone,

And we become a game of hide and seek,

I am searching forever it seems,

Still I search,

Because I know I will find you and love you once more,

I always find you in something,

I always have a reason to think of you,

Dream after dream,

I fall in love with you again,

Day by day,

My love for you grows stronger,

I cannot live without you,

Because I am a delicate flower,

And you are the sunshine,

I need my sunshine,

Or else I shall wither and  die,

Your hot sun rays catch my blood on fire,

And the fire from a dragon’s breaths blazes inside me,

So much like you, it is,

Free, warm, comforting,

Passionate,

You are so perfect to me,

I some times believe you can’t be more than a mirage,

A mere optical illusion,

But I come to my senses,

I know this can’t be,

I am the only person who sees you as I do,

But I am not the only person that sees you,

I see you in a different way,

A better way,

You are the beautiful sky, wonderful night,

My insides crumble because I know you are not really here,

I wish you to know,

The first real step I take,

Will be one that brings me closer to you,

One more tomorrow,

And you’ll be a little closer,

Yet still so far away,

Our souls have met, though we have not,

But I have already declared,

When we do meet,

I will give my heart and soul and beyond,

Because I love you.

I Love You.

The Sweetest Embrace

The sweetest thing,

Is just when,

His hands caress my back,

As he pulls me unto him,

He holds me close,

Never to let me go,

He promises to keep me safe,

At his breast,

Forever,

The most beautiful thing,

When his lips caress mine,

With such a soft passion,

In the endless gentle embrace that is love.
