All of these poems were written for the love of my life, James D. Sickles. He was the one who told me that I should start on my manuscript and send it to a publisher. If it wasn't for him, I would probably have stopped writting long ago. Thank you, Baby! I love you! 
Sunlight streams through the windows,
Awakening me from my sleep.
I open my eyes and see all of my dreams before me.
I watch you dream,
And wonder if you see me there.
I hear every heartbeat,
Feel every breath you take.
I touch your lips,
Your eyes open and meet mine.
You hold me close and kiss my lips.
Our day together begins,
With every morning kiss.

I feel into your arms,
When I thought my life was over.
You held me close,
And promised you'd never let me go.
I saw a light in your eyes
I'd never seen before.
That light I saw,
Was the light of love.

I watch you
As you're lost deep in thought.
Flowing hair,
Surrounds a face with chisiled features.
A masterpiece before my eyes.
Talent flows from you fingertips,
Creativity pours from your mind,
Music fills the air.
A masterpiece in progress.

Before you knew it,
You held my heart
In your waiting hands.
You let me know you cared
Before you ever spoke a word.
My heart was drowning
In an ocean of sorrow.
Darkness was my only comfort,
Until you opened my eyes.
I never believed in fate.
Destiny was just another word.
My mind thought happiness could never be found,
Now, my eyes are lit by love.
I can see the love in your eyes,
Feel the passion in your kiss,
The warmth of your touch.
In your voice,
I hear campassion, understanding, love.
All of my life searching
For my one true love.
The only thing I never thought I'd find.
Now, I've found all I've ever needed.
I found heaven in your arms,
And love in your eyes.
