Another Game

It's strange the way this feels.
I've never felt this way before.
Into my heart it steals,
this love that knows no law.

It's odd how I never noticed.
You were always right there.
Now I can only remininsce,
and carry this load to bear.

I never looked below the surface.
Too dreamy to be real.
But to my life you gave purpose,
and this love was soon unveiled.

When I finally drew back the curtains,
Another boundary was made.
We'll overcome this I'm certain;
just another game to be played.

A Word

If a word could describe just how I feel,
Just how my heart and soul you steal.
The way you make me smile when you speak,
The way you’re there when times are bleak.

The soft innocence of your stare,
The silent ways you show you care.
Every single tiny gesture,
In miles, in my heart they measure.

Your kindness and your gentle ways,
The tender sweetness of you gaze.
That warmth I feel deep inside,
Sweeping me momentarily, like the ocean’s tide.

To describe that feeling all in one word;
Describe the way you make me soar like a bird.
I’d need a whole lot more than a clue,
But I’d end up with this word - you.

For This -

With every minute,
of each passing day;
Every second without you,
and through every song I play.

I feel this something missing,
deep within my soul.
This relentless aching,
calling for you to hold.

Each and every night,
from under the Milky Way.
I stare alone outside,
and for this, I’ll pray -

For the tenderness of you touch,
The serenity of your presence.
For your silent enchantment;
Of my soul, you are the essence.

Whenever I’m alone,
and I feel the pain creeping in.
I close my eyes,
to search for the unseen.

And it’s always there,
the strength I’m seeking for.
Always at the exact same spot,
in the depths of my heart’s core.

That strength I find,
can last dose after dose.
Can keep me going;
for this, the strength is composed -

The twinkle in your eyes,
Your clear sense of pride.
The memories that will never fade,
The love that won’t ever subside.
