My Poetry. When love is there.

Stay with me, share my desire,
envelop me within your cocoon;
passion runs inside of me,
like a helium-filled balloon.

I long to cross the threshold,
to be with you for all time;
climb the fences, jump the walls,
mask you in your prime.

You are there, I am here;
I cannot cross the line,
like being trapped in a cave,
or buried deep within a mine.

It is the brightness that attracts me,
as your darkness engulfs my mind;
to me you are a treasure—
more loveliness I could not find.
Why can't I escape this life?
To join you as one soul,
lift the cup of poison?
It's utterly out of my control.

I guess I have to wait;
my time isn't over yet.
I feel your power surrounding me,
my destiny is set.

Let your spirit stay within
the boundaries of my dimension;
as long as you can feel me,
there will never be outer tension.

I guess I can wait forever if need be,
as long as you are spiritually here;
time waits patiently for both of us,
there is nothing for us to fear.

The love we shared will come back again
as you watch over this shell with a soul
I feel you watching over me
we will fulfil our goal.
