Lying here, late at night
thinking of all the beauty I've seen
Places of long ago
Lush green fields, the white sands
Sunrises and sunsets
But nothing that can compare
to your radiant beauty
I envy the wind that runs through your hair
That touches your gentle lips
Oh my enchantress
How can it be so
That my heart, cold and hardened
By the harsh winter snow
You can melt with only your smile
Your voice, like a siren's song
Lifting my dark and lowly soul
to the heavens above
Oh how I long to touch you
To hold you in my arms
But a dark force holds me from you
Only able to love you from afar
But hope gets me through the day
And especially the night
That maybe one day,
I can gaze upon your beauty
To hold you in my arms
To touch your lips with mine
And that it would not be the last time
so hope guides me on
through the dark sea of turmoil
hoping to find my port of call
praying that it might be with you



Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

I hold onto that hope too...

This poem is a gift of beauty.

"But nothing that can compare
to your radiant beauty
I envy the wind that runs through your hair
That touches your gentle lips"

Wow. That is so cool.
