Lovely adoration in my eyes

The darkest feelings breaking my will to fight on,

apprehension comprehension misconception.

Standing quietly in the rain of her heart’s lust,

becoming the unbecoming bleeding soul I smile.

To feel these lights coming into who we are,

so much devastation unwilling to fail alone.

The simple way you say,”I love you”,

creating this man before your eyes in me.

Hearing the laughter behind the tears of yesterday,

teaching me a lesson I can only learn from you.

The scent of a woman in your touch infatuating my life,

knowing only how little I really know in understanding.

You have reached into my life making something out of nothing,

no shame left to forgive in my once guilty heart.

You make all things better in my eyes, I see only your love,

matters of the heart we share in this union of life and trust.

To explain the depth of what we feel as one eminent,

imperative emotional words from lips of passionate light.

You say so many things that make my mind fall from painful dreams,

hoping for more than these waters of love to break within each day.

When I hold you close all feelings rush into my hands,

holding you like I have always tried to do.

I conquer the past with this present in our lives,

you never let me fall when I stumble in my path.

Somehow even when I feel so weak, you give me strength,

I always get up knowing I can’t let you down.

Each tear you cry is the ocean in which I love you,

smiles form on the winds of change under this night.

I search for the words in my heart to express my feelings,

thwarted by the very moment you look into my eyes.

How can I possibly say just what my heart is feeling,

no words left, only the look I feel when I am staring into your soul.

I have known hatred by looking into the mirror,

I have tasted the pain of life while away from your smile.

Now all of the emotions shared make me who I am,

for in all that we are, we are one.

If ever you have a doubt, if ever you feel afraid of my heart,

please look into my eyes and find, my everything is nothing without you.
