The Sun

It springs its glorious body
out of the horizon
And spreads its gentle warmth
to everything arising,
it silently caresses
the creatures and trees below
And awakens the earth's flowers
to kiss and make them grow

It flows its heavenly body
to the earth far below
Its beauty, warmth, and splendor
to countries it unfolds
It wraps us in its warmth
Its pleasure undenied
To go on forever
The Sun, it hypnotize

Love Waits

It reaches out to gently caress
It knows no endless boundaries
The sanctuary of a tender kiss
Slowly and gently embodies
The heart with such rapture fills
Emotions of sweet surprise
The touch, the whisper, the endless joy
No longer can be denied
For as the flame of passion sweeps
It has no limitations
To just encounter the sweetness of one
Is the sheerest of sensations
It consumes your thoughts everyday
With dynamic emotions surging
To capture all of its pleasures
With the two of you emerging

A Dividing Line

What is the dividing line between love and the heart? What really defines the emotions, thoughts, and feelings That embodied the mind with such emotions charged Is it the privity of one's nearness To protract oneself into a soft cocoon Of awareness that makes a person dear Is it the eyes that can warm the body If the eyes are the mirror to our hearts Is it the nucleus of tenderness that Entwines one to become so loved in another heart Is it the need to capitulate Every thought and feeling real Again, the question arises Is it the heart or love That makes us what we feel?
