           “JUST YOU”

Eyes so blue like the cloudless sky,
Piercing and soft like a rose.
“My heart would never belong to another”, I said,
Ha, until I saw you in that picture pose.

You stood there with your long brown hair,
Flowing down your shoulders bare.
A loving smile upon your face,
My heart asked, “Do I dare?”

Lips as moist as the morning dew,
So enticing for my kiss.
I know, I know my heart,
Is tempting me into bliss.

A coo from a turtledove is soft like your skin,
Waiting to be caressed.
Wanting, needing, alluring,
I would be so very blessed.

A touch from you that came from heaven,
I knew my angel was still there.
And she came down from up above,
And told my broken heart to care.

I fought, and I fought a terrible fight,
Within my heart and me.
But I knew that all I wanted in my life,
Was only to love thee.

The fires burned inside me,
My heart was crying for yours.
I thought of the places that you would take me,
And my heart started to pound on closed doors.

So, I opened my heart one more time,
As you cast your spell like a net.
And I realized that I have always loved you,
It’s been ever since that first day we met.

within my heart and me."
I am experiencing this same fight...I will find out if I really Love her...it is easy to say but when you have to act on your words it is more challenging...James

Sunny1,
The way you write, and to receive a gentle word from you, is all that is needed to continue to write from within. Thank you so much, and I continue to patiently wait to read your next writing.

jmlee 1234,

Yes, I find also the fight is demanding, but it is so real. I wish you the best when you do know, and I would appreciate if you would let me know how this turns out.

Thank you for your reply.
