Falling leaf
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
You arc the spark
Which sets my heart aflame
The thought of you beside me
Brings forth fire to my passion
My eyes light up at the sight of you
As if to know, the reality Is true
And with that precious smile...
You reflection is of the most beautiful
Aspect of the ability to find happiness
Create self sustaining
chain reactions
life is good
Overpowering my resistance to
being held so close
i feel you Even as i sleep
When we are apart i
think of you
at times, i weep
Even as your spirit Watches over me
You Bathe me in the afterglow
as we make love
Bring peaceful dreams
Allowing me in due course
To navigate rough seas
As you fill the troughs
With comforting thoughts
Before we know it
i am yours (and you are mine)
Stir in moments, we share
suspend space and time
Inertial guidance holds us together
awakening new depths in our hearts
Turning inward thoughts
as the future calls
As the countdown begins…
Sweeping momentum Initiates
a heartbeat drum
Releases my spirit to the winds
Lightning flash and thunder roars
Pulls the trigger to ignite my soul
You inspire make me believe
then satisfy the need
Feed me
Further our breed
Restore heat to my core
Bring me to tears of joy
As we work our plan
Building a future together
And when the struggle
begins to tax my strength
You perceive my changing state
Buoy my hopes/Dreams with you
Reinforcing
what fate has delivered In you
with a truth greater
than troubles we try
but cannot undo
Although, it may be,
i can get no relief
You bring me to my senses
Quench my desires
but what’s more
Enticing me sharing your fruits
Creating such excitement
i am distracted from the pain
As the rain falls
winds call
Although, this day
may be our last
Knowing
Where
there is faith...
There is
hope
