Far Better Things



It is the little things

The drift of wind that lifted the sunlit strand of hair

To hang suspended on the breeze

And my imagination was transfixed

By the first inkling 

Of the magic that you would weave.

I remember summer days

Always in my memories.

The look ~

That look,

The look when our eyes first spoke together the joy

At the meeting of our souls

And seeing,

Our spirits danced within our gaze

As time stood still

And all there was

Was you

 

The smile

That was just for me

Because of me

That beckoned me to be

All that would keep that smile mine.

Always the richest treasure of my memory


It is a sacred thing to capture the tender feelings of someone's heart

For within the heart lives the dream of always

And the hope of forever

It is the garden wherein all of the beauty of the soul is kept

Surrounded by a sea of emotions

Deeper than my words can tell

For if I could

I would tell all the height, and depth,

And to the utter-most reach of my thoughts

And still,

They would be colored by you

Even as sunlight streams in

In an almost unbearable brightness of truth

For nothing could be hid of my desire

Framed so perfectly in you

In thoughts so beautiful

I still forget all other things 


There are far better things and more than these of which I've dreamed

And I've whispered in murmured sleep

For my words are not as strong

or deep

nor sweet 

As the feelings that you stir.

Feelings known only in your touch

And your breath upon my skin

As kisses search ~ then abandon all

In the passion that you bring


I am just a simple man

Stirred by the simple beauties of life

Like the mists burning away in the early morning

With the dew wet upon the grass

Shades of green bathed by golden sunlight

And the scent of wildflowers on the breeze

 

I wish you could see life

As I see it through my eyes

A life of simple things and quiet

And know the things that stir my soul

And find there

The reason you stir me

But if not,

Just know that I love beauty

 And I love you.
