The storm drifting through my mind now calming.
Leaves of loneliness ceasing to fall, scattering.
A dense fog blowing away from a new day.
Sun shining ever so brightly in my heart.

I felt the fears as the storm gathered before me.
I wiped away tears of rain as they dropped.
I clutched at my heart to steady me.
This storm, fiercely blowing through my mind.

My valley lies within my eyes, most beautiful
The birds of love singing harmonious and pure.
Green grasses of desire once again growing.
For this love I have, this storm it will endure.

Could you not see my fears within my soul?
Were they not like embers glowing bright?
Will you always remember and ever know?
This love's flame does burn, burn this night.

I leave you now as you rest a peaceful sleep
The cloud of despair no longer over my heart.
I wish you now to know your love I do keep.
I love you dear, my lady...even when apart.

I feel this poem... I feel the same way for a girl I recently was with... but let that be a whole 'nother story~! ;-)

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.

*sigh* I agree with all that was said above and add that your words melt into me so softly. I want a man just like you......*giggling* what are the chances of cloning?????  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

this leaves me in awe....

this woman's soul drowned in the shallow waters of a man's heart.

Thanx Irish...I never thought of it being
hauntingly romantic until I read it again.
You are right...

Karen...the clone is to be packaged up on
Tuesday for delivery on Wednesday...one
large heart put in place of an ordinary one.
Also includes one ink pen, with an extra ink
cartridge and a spell checker installed.

Thanx...enjoyed the comments.
