Love Letters: III. Charged, Accused, Convicted

Who's loving who? Whose love's more true?
Who hurts the most, if the other were to vanish?
In search of knowledge, but there's certain things I rather not know,
Trial set to order, Judge carries the motion,
If there's no you, where's my heart suppose to reside?
Homeless, restless, with a strength that refuses to give up,
Thinking too hard, steam rising from my head,
Only reminds, as cold weather exposes my warmth isn't enough,
But feelings linger even on the hottest days,
Cools my mind as my world is seemingly on fire,
Not of a girl, but a woman causing a Tug-of-war,
Loosing my grip, followed slip, tumble to fall,
Fear crumbles before infantile Love, which my soul has longed to nourish,
Guiding me to new horizons, eyes have yet to behold,
In thinning air, words become significant as they're now rare,
Losing consciousness, fading away into vat of emotions,
Priceless, only shard by a privileged few
Escaping into your essence, now fugitive to all others,
Held in custody as life is the sentence,
I've been charged, accused and now stand convicted,
Judgement approaches and none can refute, when I know I'm guilty of loving you... To be continued

Love Letters: II. Stuttering

My words my words they get kinda fluttered,
Excuse me, I guess that was a stutter,
But how can I be blamed,
When I scribble in the dirt and in up writing you're name,
Consequentially with my last behind,
Thinking too far into the future,
Rush rush past like the hours of traffic,
Which contrary to the name wounds up being slow,
Knowing that this is supposedly the best way to go,
Failed so quickly, that things seemed fickle,
Wanting to reminisce and laugh, but can't feel the tickle,
Seeing that it's no laughing matter,
Should I really be searching for Love, when it leaves empty platters,
Chasing Pavements when at times I rather give up,
But my heart speaks loudly and won't Shut up,
And though at times I find myself fighting against it,
I encounter you and I'm once again defenseless,
Total total mess, possibly a test,
One taken a thousand times before,
But I find myself against my better judgment wanting you,
More than the pain of having you, then somehow losing you.
What's a man to do when there's no easy choice?
Could scream it from the mountains, but only lose my voice,
Tried tried to speak clearly but my words tend to flutter,
Off into the winds, as my heart stutter,
To beat once more for the chance of loving you,
I'll give all I have until time's consumed... To be continued

Love Letters: I. Authentically Loved

I don't want to date you, I just want to Love you,
Dating is attempting to qualify my Love,
Trying to see if you bring Peace like a Dove,
Loving you not because of what you did, gave, said or even have.
Not even because you bring joy to my heart, in need of a laugh,
Because laughter is like medicine to my soul,
Once stopped, now ready to play again.
Like a Toni Braxton song, it's as if I can breathe again.
Even when I find you're the one who took my breath away.
Considering words best able to display,
Why my heart's racing for you, I'm in a relay,
Being the first to connect, with every possible second,
When your heart is set on me, it only need beckon,
Not being far away, or off in the distance,
Because my desire is here, never far or missing,
For it's your affection I seek, mine I hope to give,
If it took eternity it's yours as I live,
Contents well spent on time with one who doesn't need me,
And may not want me, as I do the crumbs of her moments,
It won't matter unless the Earth split and shattered in two,
Even if that were to happen, I'll still feel her in my heart,
Making her very real, so we're never apart.... To be continued

Q & A

I don't ask the question, on why do I smile,
Just know it hasn't been this Big in a while,
Not that I've obtained, but what I feel is Hope,
That things will be different and on Love my heart can float.

Yes, float away down flowing streams,
Where Love is King and dreams come true,
Every singular moment I lay eyes on you,
And when you're not seen, you still reign supreme,

Over my collective thoughts and desires,
Nothing in this world could quench my fire,
Burning bright through long nights,
When I'm alone, I know I'll be alright,

Because alone is never alone, as I breathe God's air,
When finding someone to rest your heart in, and this life to share.
So when the question's proposed, why a smile comes to view,
I simply answer them with my heart, truly given to you.

Ships passing in the Night

Set sail my heart into waters unknown,
Amidst gentle yet lovely tones,
In search of a lost love; valued,
Treasured beyond all measure,
Praying she’s safe, that one for me,
Across a night’s sky, beyond the sea,
My eyes once more long to gaze upon her face,
A privilege most cherish with sweet grace,
In her embrace, my dreams unfold,
Worth the high winds and furious cold,
Saying she’s worth it, such a understatement,
For her hand I'll wait, as long as it takes me,
As I for her, she seeks my view,
To rendezvous to lands a new,
Hopes to take this journey together,
Fighting Life’s storm and horrid weather,
Difficult to continue to connect,
As time is lost when traveled west,
Sorely missing the other,
If there's something, is there time to recover?
Flashing lights to show you that I’m near,
If only you could hear my heart, know I'm near.
Forever searching, as life obscures our sight,
As our Ships pass in the night.
