All I Can Be


A constant desire to have lunch and talk,
a spark which has burst into fire,
a consuming dream of unquenchable thirst,
a moon-lit walk in the park;
A busy afternoon of playing like children,
a whole day of nothing to do but you;
A washer of dishes and planter of trees,
a granter of wishes and enjoyer of tease;
A shower of fun, a bath in the sun,
an hour to savor in silence,
a rush in the blood and flush of the skin,
a touch of sin and passion’s kindness;
A pillar of strength and whispers of love,
a truth that is never in doubt,
a kiss at length when the rain clouds above,
a something you can’t do without;
An understanding of fears, comfort for tears,
a friend for many reasons and seasons and years
-
this is all I can be.
Fall into me.

*sigh* Are you reading my mind? I LOVE this!  

Don't gain my affections then cover my eyes. Don't sweep me off my feet then fail to catch me before I hit the floor.

Well I looked to the sky for my anthem
The words and the music came through
But words and music can never touch
The beauty that I've seen in you

This was great! You conveyed the feelings throughout the whole entire poem. Quite impressive...I really hate it when poems come on strong and end weak and vice versa.
Well done!

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

I greatly enjoyed it.....

Thank you

WELL...just when I thought it was safe to pop back into the forum! Write sweet words and make me think naughty thoughts! (I KNOW--it's such a challenge  ) But I must echo Charisma--I LIKE these lines!!!

LOL - you all are too much.
You certainly know how to make a guy blush.

But I thank you for every kind word.
