Why I Love You So Much

The sparkle in your eye, 
The warmth of your skin. 

Your breath on my neck, 
That quivers within. 

The touch of your hand, 
The smell of your hair. 

The kindness in your smile, 
That strength in your stare. 

Your kiss on my lips, 
Your body near mine. 

The stroke of your touch, 
That feeling inside. 

The sound of your voice, 
Compassion in your embrace. 

The serenity in your stride, 
The power in your face. 

The calming of your presence, 
The beating of your heart. 

The promise of tomorrow, 
That we may never part. 

The beauty of your kiss, 
and that magic in your touch. 

It is for all these reasons and more, 
Why I love you so much. 

The Pages of My Heart

It’s the deepest of emotions, igniting a candle of love 

A flame forever burning, so deep for only you and I 

It is the happiness you have fulfilled inside my heart 

That has truly caused heavens angels to never again cry. 

It’s your kind heart that has captured mine darling 

It’s you who holds my heart deep in your hands 

It’s you, who is beautiful as a sunset over the horizon 

And it is you who has left footprints in my hearts sand. 

It’s the way you have expressed your love for me 

That has made me fall deeper in love with you 

It is the way you show your affection towards me 

That made me realize your love is so pure and true. 

It’s your love, written in the pages of my heart darling 

A chapter that will never end as long as you love me 

It’s with you, where I truly know my heart belongs 

You’re the treasure forever buried in my hearts sea. 

In taverns and winding side streets..

In taverns and winding side streets, 
In an electric daydream 
I sought the endlessly lovely, 
The eternally smitten with speech. 
The streets were drunk with screams. 
There were suns in the shining vitrines. 
The beauty of the women's faces! 
The proud gazes of the men! 
These were kings - not vagabonds! 
I asked an old man by the wall: 
"Did you decorate their delicate fingers 
With pearls of infinite worth? 
Did you give them these multicolored furs? 
Did you kindle them with shafts of light? 
Did you paint their crimson lips, 
The bluish arches of their brows?" 
But the old man did not reply, 
Following after the crowd to dream. 
I was left in mysterious radiance 
To drink in this sparkling music... 
And they just kept passing by, 
In her heart each concealing a vagueness, 
To fly off forever, incomparable, 
Into the blue beyond. 
Pair after pair flashed by... 
I awaited the bright angel's coming, 
When he, in the street's exultation, 
Would convey one of them to heaven.... 
While above us, out on a dangerous ledge - 
Nestled a dwarf, silently coiled, 
And the tongue that spread in the sky, 
Seemed a red banner to us. 

Oh, yes, love is free as a bird...

"Oh, yes, love is free as a bird," 
But all the same I am yours! 
And all the same I will dream 
Of your figure, all aflame! 
The ravening strength of your fine hands, 
Your eyes saddened by betrayal 
Are all the madness of my vain passion, 
Are all my nights, Carmen! 
Of you I will sing to the sky 
Of your voice I will sing! 
Like a priest, with the stars as witness, 
I will perform your rite of fire! 
You will rise like a stormy wave 
In the river of my poems, 
And I will never wash my hands 
Of your perfume, Carmen... 
And in the still of night, ablaze 
Like a momentary flame, 
I'll see the flash of your white teeth 
And your persistent face. 
How I am haunted by the sweet hope 
That you, in a foreign land, 
That you will find a moment 
For secret thoughts of me. 
Beyond life's storm, beyond the cares, 
Beyond the sorrow of all betrayals, - 
May this solemn thought arise, 
Simple and white, like a road, 
Like a long road, Carmen! 

I am riveted to the tavern counter...

I am riveted to the tavern counter.
Long past drunk, I don't give a damn.
A sleigh has stolen my happiness
Away into the silvery smoke...
It flew off in a sleigh, is buried deep
In the snows of time, in the reaches of years...
And it only sifts over my soul,
Like a silvery mist kicked up by the hooves.
In the muffled darkness sparks fly up,
Sparks light up, light up the night...
The sleigh bells jangle on and on
Telling of happiness, of its flight...
And there is only the golden harness
Shining all night...Ringing all night...
And you, my soul...my muffled soul...
Are reeling drunk...reeling drunk...

The Guardian Angel

I love you , my Guardian Angel, you are
   A sparkle in darkness, my guiding star.
    
   I love you because you're my fair bride,
   Because of my secrets you have deprived.
    
   Because we are bound by secret and night,
   Because you're my mother, my daughter, my bride.
    
   I love you because we are destined in life
   To be ever together as husband and wife.
    
   I love you for prayers of yours and my chains
   And for the family cursers and pains.
    
   I love you for hating whatever I do
   Like helping the poor whom I give their due.
    
   I love you, because we just we can't live at one,
   Because I can kill a detestable man.
    
   I'd kill in revenge for the weak and the blind,
   The one who abased me and people of mine.
  
   The one who has jailed the strong and the free,
   Who didn't believe in my fire and me.
    
   Who wants to deprive me of light of the day
   And purchase submission from me in some way.
    
   I love you because I am weak, I admit
   my ancestors were of servile breed.
    
   The poison of kindness has taken my life,
   I cannot resort to the use of a knife...
    
   I love you because I am weak, I believe
   You're strong, and you've known the savour of grief.
    
   For what is burnt down and coated with lead
   Cannot be torn and stamped out, you bet!
    
   We witnessed this sunset, and now you and I
   Are watching this bottomless abyss, oh my!
    
   Dual bidding of destiny - how can it be ?
   We are vicious slaves! Our souls are free!
    
    
   Be humble and daring! Don't go! Get away!
   What's up ahead? Is it night or day?
    
   Where are we going? Who calls? Who will cry?
   Together - forever - constrained - you and I !
    
   Shall we revive? Shall we perish and die?

A Cute Poem for a Cute girl

 You changed my world with a blink of an eye 
That is something that I can not deny 
You put my soul from worst to best 
That is why I treasure you my dearest Marites 
You just don't know what you have done for me 
You even pushed me to the best that I can be 
You really are an angel sent from above 
To take care of me and shower with love 
When I'm with you I will not cry even a single a tear 
And your touch have chased away all of my fear 
You have given me a life that I could live worthwhile 
It is even better everytime you smile 
It so magical those things you've made 
To bring back my faith that almost fade 
Now my life is a dream come true 
It all began when I was loved by you 
Now I have found what I am looking for 
It's you and your love and nothing more 
Co'z you have given me this feeling of contentment 
In my life something I've never felt 
I wish I could talk 'til the end of day 
But now I'm running out of things to say 
So I'll end by the line you already know 
"I LOVE YOU" more than what I could show
