A Special Poem...

[cookiejar]

A friend wrote this poem for me and I'm speechless. I felt like sharing.


YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILING EYES

I gently traced the outline of your face, gazing into your smiling eyes

A single teardrop rolled down my cheek, seized in heavy sighs

I touched the softness of your skin, my fingers trembling, shaking

My voice held in silence, as my heart was slowly beating



I held your sweet face in my hands, no words need be spoken

In these moments I find with you, that leaves me far too weak

I search the smoothness of your lovely face, finding a thousand fears

Discovering answers in my heart, wrapped within my tears



I’m eager to share a tender smile, and holds your gaze so deep

Knowing these precious moments, are forever mine to keep

My hands still caressing your cheeks, wanting to hold you forever

These smiling eyes I've waited for, now bring me happiness and joy



You turn your face kissing my palm, your fingers reaching for mine

You hold them locked within your own, a feeling so divine

I can not move my eyes from yours, I dare not wipe my tears

I've been waiting so long for this one single moment.



The pain within my heart is eased by your gentle smiling eyes

A masked hiding a greater heartache within your deep disguise

I need to kiss your soft lips, searching for what rest within

A love for you, so very rare and true, caressing my skin



I lowering my face to yours, I hear your breath intake

Closing my eyes nestled in the moment.

I find your soft sweet lips and linger there, another tear falls

This moment mixed with love for you, relief I've found you



Your sweet and gentle smiling eyes, had closed as if to know

This moment we hold now, was all we needed to know

No words, no pain, just this moment of silence,

My love is being held in our tender embrace



No deeper sense of love, no words could explain

Your gentle smiling eyes I've met will always remain

A part of all I miss, all I long to see

This one kiss, one moment, one love, one heart

That cries out in the dark for you every night

And for your beautiful smiling eyes...

That was beautiful, a great share. You made me want to share one that was written for me a long time ago, by a woman in my life back then..

Hearts on Fire
To be yours forever
My only desire
Your lips on mine
Our hearts on fire

I sit listening to a familiar melody
And yet my heart rages anew
I tap my foot to the quick beat
And yet my thoughts are on you

The sweet torture of loving so much
With all the distance between you and me
The constant ache to hold one another
With all our passionate urgency

To be yours forever
My only desire
Your lips on mine
Our hearts on fire

My mind runs rampant with questions
When will the climax draw near?
My eyes fill quickly with sorrow
When will you be here?

Our souls brewed with impatience
We begged to find our destiny
Our bodies finally come together
Now begging to be combined eternally

To be yours forever
My only desire
Your lips on mine
Our hearts on fire


All praise for the poem can be said to me.. and will be directed to her, for I am still in contact with her quite often. But to sign it, that shall be By: Kyndle

Hope you all enjoyed my share as well.

Cookie, that is simply beautiful. I would cherish that forever, if I were you (and I don't just mean the poem), and I have a feeling you will.

Edited to add: Tolyk, yours is wonderful, too.

I also have something that I keep dear, which was sent to me last year. I might post it, I'll see.

Ah, love. Ain't it grand? Thanks for sharing, that made me al blubbery and stuff.


My then girlfriend write this to me once after we had had a bot of a shouting showdown:

I love you baby,
yes I do.
Could you bother
to love me too?


Needless to say, after that, all was forgiven.

Had second thoughts.

Liar, I love yours! Simple, but moving, all the same.

Okay.. dangnabit, now I have to share one of mine.. Here is my responce to her poem, entitled Heaven In You

I look to you,
and I find it.
I gaze into your eyes,
and I find it.
A simple act of holding hands
and I find it.
I merely think of you,
and I find it.
I lay beside you at night,
and I find it.
I open my heart to you,
and I find it.
My soul becomes one with yours,
and I find it.
I hold you in my arms.
and oh do I ever find it.
What it is I've found,
I never want to lose.
For, my love, in you,
Heaven have I found.


I like hers better, but this expressed the emotions I thought... I've always thought of myself as a love poet, but I've never thought highly of any of my work at all... *shrug* C'est la vie

I had time to read it I liked it, why take it down?

Because the person who wrote it to me might see I'd posted it here, and might not much like the fact I did. It's a bit too personal.

Now, that there is an understandable and highly valid reason

All of the poems are wonderful. I wish I could write poetry but I'm afraid my poems are more like, "There was a man from Nantucket."

The only love poem I ever got was:

Roses are red...

Ah...too depressed to put the rest of it up.
Bloody men!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm a schizophrenic
And so am I!!

I love that one

Edit - Though I would call it more of a verse than a poem

Ah...yes...
