An Unwritten Letter

Your eyes have captured me and filled them with glee. Oh for a thousand tongues to sing the bliss bore within my heart is one that cannot to spoken of. That mild chocolate colored skin of yours which graces that ravishing figure would stop a man's heart dead in its tracks. How brown hair shines with a bright reflection makes me wonder what magic dwells within it.

Oh dear one, how I am fully captured by you, mesmerized by that sweet tone of voice, struck by your every gesture. How these hands long to bring you the comfort you desire. That they would indeed speak of my genuine heart, my longing to bring you happiness. Nay, it is not lust that I feel. No perverse nature of desire and passion but just a deep desire to understand, to know you as a person.

Oh dear one, shall I then again let this opportunity slip by? Let the emotions again fade once more that the illusions that they are? I am perplexed by these plethora of thoughts. Thoughts that whispers "she is the one","it is but your silly emotions", "you're weak because you've exposed yourself". They ensnare me, each pulling me towards their direction, convincing me that it is their way that is correct. What a relief it would be if I could share with you these thoughts.

Oh dear one, your requests for anything used to be my command. God as my witness, if I could, the stars would write your name and the moon would shine night and day only for you. Yet the anguish I feel when brought to awareness that you feel not the same, that I am merely a means to an end. It fills me and I wonder what have I done to merit your disapproval. That I stand not in line with those that you call "boyfriends" or "men". Many call on me and say to abandon this sinking ship, the pointless endeavor and yet I wonder to myself "Does not Love suffer long, is it not kind and envieth not? and that Love never fails?" Oh what spell of folly has been driven upon me that even when I am being so conveniently used that I see not. How I desire some word of wisdom that would sweep away this folly.

Light from Darkness

So far it seems that light has ever shone,

Its hard to remember a time that's now gone,

The shades of heaven have gone so dim,

So hard to see that bright sunny halo rim.

And there it was as if shooting through the clouds,

A ray that pierced through those cold and glumly clouds,

That brief glimmer was enough to light the darkness,

Rekindling all hope that was lost in sadness.
