soon to be Portland! WoOt.
your almond eyes
are autumn skies
at dusk
a warm October musk that lies
beneath my senses
leaving me senseless
i am defenseless
against you girl.
your almond eyes
are breathless like a desert wind
that sweeps across my soul
and then
teasing me
with whispered looks
a thousand words
a thousand picture books
could not entail the spell your tempered hooks
that sink
and draw me near
making me think
a thoughtless thought in midnight ink
about those loving, sunset eyes.
your almond eyes
are China dolls
and deeply, if I chance to fall
don't catch me
let me drift until I reach your lips
for everything of me
that's all.
(i know...you don't get it...)
i had a bag of m&m's i carried every day
and once upon a time I hid them
somewhere far away
because i never thought
I'd have someone to share them with
i thought i'd bury them
until the day i ceased to live
but one night i was out
and lo! a girl had caught my eye
and as we grew together i began to wonder why
i'd kept that little bag of candies
hidden for so long
from somebody like her who was so beautiful
and strong
so i began to dig inside to find what i had stashed
and kept those little candies close in case she ever asked
i let her know "i have them here..." in case she wanted some
but she never let me open them to take out even one.
until a time not long ago she sat beside my chair.
and opened up her own for her and i to share...so now that you have shown me everything and shared them too...
Jenni, here's my m&m I saved away for you.
(so sickly sweet...i can't believe I wrote that!! lol)
If I could tell you waht it means to kiss you with these lips, or touch your with these finger tips, and gaze into your shining eyes, I would.
If I could show you everything I feel inside
by placing your soft hands on my heart
what you would feel is beyond all this
you could close your eyes
and taste the rain
or embrace the sky with marvelled looks
and rest your fears on nothing
nothing but a simple thought
and let them float away.
wasted words.
and yet I go on...knowing you could never really understand,
what things you do to me.
(i am so weird)
I've seen this hope with you
inside your eyes, it is the sky
without a single cloud
nor any drop of rain
as clear as your crystal soul I've seen
this hope with you.
i am shattered
i am tears
i pray this pain
please disappear
i cannot take the past away
i cannot be for you my need
but i see hope inside of you
i see this hope
by taking all my thoughts
and pressing them into your lips
your gentle kiss
i see this hope
(i was being an insecure hoot at the time)
when i was young
i gently swung
upon a tethered rope that hung
among the aged trees
and birds
that sung a soothing summer song
that eased my soul
it's something that I never thought I'd feel again.
but now you've come.
sometimes i would stare into the sun
and see the colors of my life appear as one
amidst a warmind breeze
and breathing spring
into my tiny lungs
seeing things that artists dream (but can't conceive)
perfection as it seemed
would make me whole
it's something that I never thought I'd know again
but now you've come
times have passed so quickly now
and life has shown me you somehow
all of the clouds were hurried off
from every storm I've ever known
and darkness
has no hold inside of me
when I look into your eyes I know
you are that tethered rope that held me up
when i was young
you are the sweetest breath of spring
that in my life has filled my lungs
you are the colors of my life
as i have seen them in the sun
and all the songs that birds have sung
you are the one.
you bring back everything inside of me
you are my artists dream.
(i rather liked that one)
(accompanied by a picture I drew of a tree and rope swing)
and you are all that morning envys
her fury at your gracious form
you wait to warm the morning dew
a sky no longer filled with tears
but filled with years
of a blue no heartache knows.
the purity comes not of flesh
defiled in an ancient lovers kiss
but sacred are these virgin hearts of ours in bliss
you and i
i trust
i love
you've captured me
and at that moment
set me free
yes in life i've seen my storm
and ocean water
pounding shores
but i have sailed into your arms
a lighthouse in the gailing swarm.
yes, you are
yes, you are
(okay I'm officially a freak....)
I just found these yesterday in a book we'd saved...memories are cool.
(i asked first before posting them...she said only certain ones...some others are, um, private or something.)
enjoy
[place standard cheesy love poem disclaimer here]
 
I agree you are not a freak but very sweet.
thank you for sharing these hope your love is still strong and beautiful :)
 
their lying, YOU ARE A BIG SISSY FREAK!!!
just kidding.
you see I am happily happily poke prod and slappily married to the prettiest little thing since babies ballet dancing in a cardboard box full of newly born kittens. oh wait, that's really not cute at all. that's kinda gross.
well you get the idea.
How long have you been married.
me? about 4 years.
