Oh my love, what have I done to cast you away?
Have I not told you how you are loved?
Have I not said to infinity those thoughts I have?
Have I lost you, cast you from my soul?

Each waking thought is of you.
Each emotion is for only you.
Each breathe I breath is because of you.
You are me.

I feel the empty hollowness in my heart.
Space occupied by one so dear as you.
I try to fill this void, I cannot find you.
I know not where you are.

What must a mortal man of many emotions do?
Can I not conceive the right to the wrong?
Am I lost in my own loss too deep to feel.
Will I ever know what it is you need?

Your arms around me chill my skin with pleasure.
My inner soul warms to a gentle touch.
I take each breath of fragrance deep.
Savoring the sense that invades me, entrances me.

My mornings awaken to tears.  
My nights keep me staring at a lifeless moon.
My heart slowly guides my blood.
Love flows through endless miles of red.

Crumbs of   love’s bread are all I partake
as I try to untie a knot so deep.
Water flows over closed lips
as I scream silently within my mind.

I await you, you are my life, my twin of love.
Do you not hear my cries, feel my pain?

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Magnus, I hope this isn't really a though that relates to you as of right now, for I believe we all have these times, like I have had sometimes. (sad sigh) This is sad but very beautiful thoughts, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Magbus, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

And I get the greatest personal satisfaction
when I know that I have moved someone by the
words that I write.  Thank you.

Magnus...I can relate with this brother, oh MY how I can. When I was reading I thought you were looking in my heart as you created...thanks for letting me know there are other men out there that hurt and have emotions that need an outlet...

Lets Love one another-let God do the worrying,

Very well written magnus, it is good to see the emotions released in this.  *s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
