For You Alone

I wrote this several years ago. I'm cleaning out my old files on my computer as we are moving offices here at work and I have a fear of losing some of my favorite poetry i have stored on here... in the process of converting them over to my personal emails and files...but in the mean time I have decided in these few days left in October to share some of my better works or ones that still resonate with me personally...Enjoy!

This one is about a girl I liked that kept asking me of the poems i shared were always about her personally....and I'm not so sure she liked my reply as often times I have one or 2 or 3 people, places or experiences on my mind that i try to blend in ... seems no one person can live up to that ideal muse i have in my heart...
some try endlessly while others don't even bother...

the reality is i've always been a bit afraid to make something so bitterly personal...and i've found that in my blending i get a far more pretty and perfect looking poem... and yes i know... i just over explained. :)

Enjoy!


FOR YOU ALONE


Are these Words for me?
Who is this about?
Tell me the story behind it
What exactly were you thinking?

These words you share so beautifully
Express myself in the written form
Wishing it could be so much
More concrete, more tangible

Like the touch and the feel
Of your skin on my fingers
Gaining texture and depth
Thoughts that swirl in my soul

You ASK is this for me?
Of Course it is! Only you!
I want to share my life
Fully and completely

With open arms and open minds
No expectations day by day
So open up your heart
Let me in if you will

I will do the same for you
Make a nest to keep us
Safe and warm and comfortable
Come and I will hold you close

Let me swim in my desires
Come let me hold you
Cradling your beautiful body
Holding you always near my soul

Are these words for your Eyes?
No they are for you Heart!
These words are true and for real
Right now may seem only dreams

Every good builder needs a blueprint
Every aspiring poet has his muse
Every lover needs another
Every man needs a good woman


So this I give to you today
To keep now forever yours
This I pledge to you alone
Never ever will I run

Words - I do mean with all my heart
Expressions of a feeling now
An affirmation of a love that grows
Deep within my soul for you alone
