My Poetry

Angel


Some time ago I said a little prayer.
I asked for help, I asked for a guide.
I wondered what I was supposed to do.
I thought about what he would want me to do.
I asked for help so that I could do as he wanted.
Alone in my room I prayed for an Angel.

Asking how I could help others how I could make a difference.
In prayer I told him I was tired of being alone and asked
when love would find me.
Do I deserve love I asked.
Am I ready for love, I prayed for an answer.
And again alone in my room I prayed for an Angel.
He answered my prayers.
Now I wait, for the angel.

Without Saying a Word


It started during dinner I could barely look you in the eye without giving it away
I can see it in your eyes you feel it too anxiety building, my blood pressure rising
I can't hold it in much longer.

I grab your hand without saying a word
walk you down to the beach, we float down the beach lost in the moonlight
your eyes shinning brighter then the stars.

The waves chase our feet as you look to the sky, a gust of wind comes and moves your hair
so I can see you smile. I slowly brush your hair back behind your neck
and kiss you gently on your lips. Your lips as soft as a cloud only makes the kiss that much better.

Again I grab your hand without saying a word
a surprise is brewing and you can feel it, "Where we are going" you ask.
"We are following the wind"

As we get home everything is different the candles are lit, and the floor is covered in rose pedals.
Without saying a word I walk to the table, a chilled bottle of champagne awaits us
as I pour our glasses you smile and walk to me

Ever so slowly we empty our glasses, never loosing eye contact
your anticipation builds as you try to figure out what is about to happen
I pour you another glass, and ask you to follow me
we head out into the backyard, and it is decorated with flowers

You wonder how I did this and what is going on. A gentle song starts to play
it takes you a second but you realize it is our song
you look around and see someone leave

As you turn back to me you smile, and ask "what’s going on?"
For the longest time I have wanted to fall in love, I have wanted to be in love
and yet I never thought I would love someone as much as I love you
I have dreamed about how I could make you love me more and how things could be perfect
but I realize things already are perfect. If two people are meant for each other
then nothing can stop them. When those two people find each other they feel complete
and can't think about anyone else.
I pause for a second and reach into my pocket.
A tear rolls down your cheek

If I can only ask one person in the world to be
my life, to be my wife I want that to be you. Look around we are surrounded by love.
You look and all of our friends and family look on, all of them as emotional as we are.

I wipe away your tears as a tear comes down my cheek.
I can't imagine what my life would be without you, will you marry me?
Without saying a word, you kiss me as I slide the ring onto your finger

Alone in a Dream


As I stand here all alone by the bay
I feel a cool breeze on this warm spring day
I turn and see people are staring at me.

As my heart starts to race I can feel a holy presence
You are not within view but I can picture your face.
All of my thoughts seem to be of you.

Someone rubs my back
and he says everything is going great,
she should be here any moment.

I start to smell fresh cut flowers
and hear a faint song playing in the background.
My heart beats faster
Why am I so full of joy?

The birds start to sing
and the subtle sound of waves ease my soul.

Where am I, I wonder
Could this be real or just a dream?

Why is everyone staring at me?
I can see my mother
Why is she crying
Are those tears of pain, tears of sorrow
Is something wrong
Did something happen?

As the sun starts to set you come into my view
A vision that could only be compared to an angel cascading from the clouds.

Finally I realize where I am
Why I am here.

Never before have I seen you smile as much as this.
Your father walks with you past everyone we know.
He gives you a kiss on the cheek.
As you step up to the alter
he shakes my hand, and I reach for yours.

Whats going on everyone has disappeared.
Where am I, alone in a dream.

Love Spark


You never know when that love spark will strike
When the fire starts to burn
And the Light starts to shine brighter then you have even seen
The gates of heaven have opened
Happiness rains from the clouds
Once again Love has struck

Whispers of the Wind

I hear a faint sound as the wind blows by my ear
A slight whisper as if the wind is trying to talk to me
My thoughts seem to clear as I listen
The cluster of ideas, the annoyance of fears both fade away

The world we live in is a complex one
Time travels faster then we can comprehend
I thought once I had all the time in the world to find you
Now I realize I can never have enough time with you

What started off as an endless search
A quest to find the perfect mate a perfect ideal
Almost as shallow as it sounds, that's what it was
The standard set at an unreachable plateau

I hear the whispers of the wind again
And I thank the wind for showing me my mistakes
I never thought of myself as a shallow person until I listened to the wind whisper

Amazing to me is the power of a whisper
Almost as if nothing was said, but louder then a concert
The message was as clear as a Broadway sign
True bliss is not found in the body, but in the matching of the soul

Looking into the heart and desires in the true presence of a person
the caress of mind and soul the shared desire to please each other
Generates a smile from the tips of your toes to the top of your head

Someone told me once in order to hear you must listen
in order to find love you must listen to the whispers in the wind
Your own conscience floats around you at all times
Only in the wind can you hear it, but you must listen for it

Letting go of childish ideals and shallow dreams
Has lead me to self discovery revealing the sounds of the wind
How does a gentle breeze have so much consequence you ask?
Just question a mother about what is making her baby cry
When you listen you can hear it
Once you have heard it, then you know

Look at me and make me smile
Enjoy life with me as I enjoy life with you
Days and Months mean nothing if you can't cherish the moment we have together
Time is only an abstract variation of what life you have yet to live, forget it
Sit down and listen with me, to the whispers of the wind.
