Listening to every heart

I Am/You Are


I am
the yin
to your yang…

the breath
in your bubble…

You are
the because
to my why…

the reflection
in my eyes…

I am
the curled fingers
in your hand…

You are
the beat
in my heart…

You are
the ring
in my bell…

the light
in my eyes…

I am
the dreams
in your slumber…

the beacon
on your shore…

You are
the dare in
my dreams…

the lilt
in my voice…

I am
the warmth
in your arms…

You are
why I know
there is a God…

and the reason
for angels…

the source of
my pride…

the swell
in my heart…

I am
the horizon to
your journey…

your partner in
life's dance…

summer rain to
your parched lips…

You are
the beam
in my moon…

I do not want to be, without You
You want I, to make two
to be one

I am
the yin
to your yang…

You are
the because
to my why…

I loved this poem. I was just sitting here talking to my husband, laughing and saying how happy I was, and then I came across your poem. I have to keep this one as it represents everything I am feeling at this moment. Thank You for putting words to my emotions.

Who knows why the powers that be place two people across each other's paths. Perhaps for this.

I was just gonna say that   You took the words right off my lips like a stolen kiss.

And, the kiss really wouldn't be stolen...

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

You know...I always wondered what it would be like to be in a happy marriage now I know.  How lucky you are, and thanks for sharing the feeling so others who are not in one, know the difference!
