tonight I found you



New to this moment,
Softness in your eyes,
I pull you closer,
Comfort is where we lie.

Try but you can't,
To give your heart away,
You clench and you hold,
That's your only way.

Anxious for this time,
Anticipate your every move,
Nervousness fills the air,
Softly spoken to soothe.

Eyes searching for something,
Looking deep within me,
To fulfill a dream,
Only you can see.

Close eyes lightly now,
No sight is needed,
Only fingers to touch,
Where pain is depleted.

There deep inside of you,
Stirs an empty hole,
That life kept pouring,
That cracked your soul.

But tonight sits now,
Is broken heart mending,
Tonight is the night,
As love is pending.

Waiting to decide on,
Sending signals by code,
Only time will interpret,
Doorway open or close.

Eyes sit open wide,
Speaking into the dark,
A reflection of me,
Looking through to your heart.

Words wished to speak,
Tongue you held tight,
But actions spoke more,
I found you tonight.

I proceeded with caution,
And waited on you,
Your patience stood still,
Eyes decided, they drew.

A map to feel,
To what you knew as true,
Behind your perfect kiss,
Whispers I love you.

Alot of my poems are about my past,what I've been through or what I may be focusing on. One of my close friends inspired me to write. He said for as much as I told him, I should put into poems. I'm glad I did.I never realized how much I was keeping inside until I started writing, wow, so much comes out. more…
