Captured My Soul

 

My Darling…
Still I am astounded. When first you came into view, I knew you, yet you were a complete stranger. Still you were so familiar; so known to me. Is it no wonder that I fell so easily? It feels like you have always been in my heart.

Canadian writer and poet, Christy A. Martine

my days
waiting
for you,
searching
the crowds
for your face.
I stopped
breathing
the moment you
recognized me,
as you
captured
my soul
with your gaze.

Say Nothing

Sweetheart…
In all the words I’ve said and written, there has yet to be a time the love within me was accurately conveyed. No words can approximate what grows in my heart. Let me hold you while we drift to sleep so I can express what is impossible to speak.

From “The Love of an Unknown Soldier”by an Anonymous Writer

are always inadequate:
it’s the touch
of live hands,
of lips pressed
to lips
that count.
I want to
hold you
and say nothing.

Transformed and Enchanted

Sweetheart…
I never imagined I’d feel the sweetness of a boyhood first kiss a second time. You have taught me that magic of long ago was never lost. It was within waiting for your arrival.

German-born Swiss poet, novelist, and painter Hermann Karl Hesse

I felt something
melt inside me
that hurt in
an exquisite way.
All my longings,
all my dreams
and sweet anguish,
All the secrets
that slept deep
within me came awake,
Everything was
transformed and
enchanted,
Everything made sense.

Soaking Joy

Sweetheart…
As the rain begins to fall tonight I am comforted knowing you hear the same thunder I do. Listening to the raindrops fall makes me feel closer to you. I seem to find you these days in just about everything of beauty.

Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho de Souza

can

from

drenching
couples
with
a
soaking
joy.

Before It Had Scars

Dear Lady…
When I think of you my heart feels like when it was young before the scarring of heartbreak. I am blessed by your presence there. So easily you glided past my habitual walls and have taken up emotional residence within me.

Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer Khalil Gibran

to fulfill
itself…
To melt
and be
like a

brook that
sings its
melody
to the night.

Without Lifting a Finger

My Love…
In the early morning light sometimes I watch you sleep. All the curves of your face I study trying to memorize every detail without success. In those moments you touch me deeply without lifting a finger.

on the wind.
The love
that never ends.
You are the soft
and gentle caress.
You are the love
and tenderness.
I feel your warmth
and your fire.
It’s only you
I desire…

Our Love Is Like a Song

Sweetheart…
Every sweet moment we share brings us closer. Every challenge we overcome bonds us tighter together. Life without you no longer makes any sense. The melody of my life would lack harmony without you.

From the song “Love Is Like a Song” by Hanna Pakarinen
4581978846Our love is like a song
That we can sing together;
Sometimes we get it wrong;
It really doesn’t matter;
There’s nothing else so true
As the melody in you;
Just knowing that you’re there,
Just knowing we belong,
Our love is like a song.
We sing it over and over
Cause that’s the way it goes
The highs and lows
In perfect harmony…
For life…

The First You See

Waking before you and watching you sleep are precious times. In those moments the sweet child within you shows on the face of the beautiful woman you are. I love you for all you have been and yet will be.

From a poem found at http://poetrysync.blogspot.com/2013/07/
sleeping_women_B edi3tI turn around to face you,
hoping that it might seem,
that my face is
the first you see,
when you awaken
from your dream.
Your eyes lock onto mine,
and my skin
ignites with chills,
the love swimming in them,
is such an enormous thrill.
You smile,
and pull me closer,
and I can’t help
but blush.
Just the brush
of fingertips,
and I melt
within your touch.

Never Like This Before

Sweetheart,
Waking up happy with you is a different experience that any I have ever had. Whether we wake up quickly or slowly, are tender or in a fun mood or get lost in passion in each other’s arms… mornings have never been like this before.

From an Hindi film titled “Dil Se” (“From The Heart”)
couple-in-bed 02I love
the
air,
because
it
touches
you.
I love
the
sun,
because
it
falls
on
you.
I love
my
heart,
because
it
loves
you!

Amazing Beyond Words

My Darling…
When true love and sexual intimacy meet, what results is so much more that sex alone can ever be. It’s like comparing shadowed black and white to amazingly vibrant color. What we are blessed with is amazing beyond words.
