Although I’ll continue to frolic
Along with the flowers on this path,
I’ll always be silent in the presence
Of the tremendous magnitude of your brilliance...
I’ll maintain the daisies behind my ear,
But I’ll never take for granted the roses
You’ve planted in the conscious reverence of me...
The ocean will always be
My most influential supply of stimulation,
But the clouds of glory in your eyes
Will outshine it by far...
I’ll continue to delight in drawing near
To the air of magenta meadows,
But the purity of your revitalizing breath
Will instill life into my fragile optimism...
Even though the stars will predominantly glisten
Over my awestruck head,
The sparkling rivers of vitality within your spirit
Will catch my undivided interest...

You should see the way the trees
Bow in your presence,
And how Luna glides a bit lower
To catch a glimpse of your face...
The scarlet day of blazing passion
Yields when you arrive,
And doubt’s vows to destroy my stability
Wane when you push all else aside
To hold me in your arms...
The universe and all entailed therein
Bow out of their distinguished positions
With just a glance at the impact in your sweet caress...

-kh


it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...

Beautifully and romanticly written, Great work.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

The title was the first awesome thing that caught my attention.  The rest held me captive with the honest eloquence and profoundly resonated with me in terms of the strength of emotion and comparisons contained herein...  To be on the receiving end of such beauty and thought...   Wow.  Can you tell that I really, REALLY liked this one?

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...
