A passionate outcry of the love I feel towards you
erupts from deep within my outstretched arms
every memory of you that captivates my senses
diminishes the pain I have felt up to this day
The next time you reach out to embrace me
you will surely feel the pounding of my heart
I will cherish each day we are given together
until the winds of eternity carry us away

The trail of honor is always boldly enlightened
by the truth that ultimately will set us free
the torch I set ablaze to guide your way
must also brighten the paths upon my own quest
I vividly see how the serenity in your eyes
has tamed the firestorm once raging in my mind
holding firmly onto the gift you have given me
as I bask in the radiance with which I was blessed

My shortfalls have existed with a steadfast fear
of the darkness overwhelming the impending nightfall
I started my journey to find an angel in the stars
only to end up chasing shadows in the skies of blue
Although my wings of hope at times became weary
I still anticipated the moment you would appear
knowing that forever is not too long to wait
for the chance to spend just one lifetime with you

Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky.

Yes, yes, yes, powerful words, here!

I think you could say that it's the Poweroftheword that sets this piece ablaze. Some super phrases herein are exciting.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thanx VAS, I wrote this one for my girlfriend and I hope she likes it too.

(smiles) Oh Paul, this is sooooo beautifully upbeat, sweet friend, all it takes is faith for love to come true and while I someties hurt yearning for my love Joanna, I have hope someday I will finally have her and be happy with her forever! (sigh) This is beautiful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thank you Noah, I really appreciate your comments, you are just about the nicest person I have ever come across. My girlfriend has not yet read this, I plan to propose to her this weekend, I just bought her a ring and all that is left is a "yes" answer from her! Wish me luck.
