Have you ever felt so strongly about a person, thing, or idea just after a short period of time yet you still are in the dark? Have you ever had a short glimpse into someone's eyes and in that instance you can see and feel their soul? Have you ever thought you were amongst a love so strong that it could tear you apart just with one touch? Have you ever leaped into your future so quickly that it fell on you without warning? Have you ever fanticized about an idea of love that the real thing passed you by? Have things beyond your control ever blinded you from feeling anything...anything at all? Have you ever been so lonely that you tremble with joy at the idea that someone shows interest? Have you ever been so scared of your own footsteps that you would rather stand still then take a leap of faith? Have you ever felt a drop of passion land on your shoulder? Have your tears ever been so thick that you feel like you are in a caccoon and no one can see you? Have you ever been so loved that you walk on air? Have you ever lived a life with all your joys and compassions? Have you ever experienced someone touch you so deep as to pierce your soul with theirs? Thoughts and Feelings I have everyday.

Your fingers are magically making music. This is something mine have never committed to. What does it feel like? How do you maintain? Where is your heart and what lays within? As you play and I watch I catch a glimpse of you. Your soul through your eyes. Your life in a mer second. Your love, faith, and passion. What does this moment mean? Your smile shines like a yellow sunflower and a glorious morning. It shivers within me and seems to seek something magical. Something within myself that has been turned off. Signs and Non-signs, Words and Non-words, Glimpses and Non-glimpses speak to me within my confused and heartbroken soul. What should I say or not say? What should I do or not do? How should I act or not act? Where should I be or not be? and What should I feel or not feel? This fantastic hope and wonderous change has brightened my soul and opened my heart. Is it too early as I suppose it is? Is it beyond desire or in the midst of love? Is it a passion to be loved or a passion to love? Will it exist or fade away as the rain washes our souls? What is this feeling and how is it here after so long? Why is confusion so tantilizing and true to life? What should I be, feel, care, love, and live for and where does it all come from?

What I want.... Is the pleasure of a man's hand holding mine... The comfort of knowing that someone cares for me... The soft kiss on my lips and the intense love that we will share... What I want.... Is the beauty of a life with a soul I can call my own... The passion between us that will shine as bright as the sun... An undying love... What I want.... Is a wonderful father, caring heart, strong arms, and a sense of security... Is a life with my one and only... A man who is a one woman man as I am a one man woman... What I want is forever!

Ok Friends..... I need your help here. I got a piece of poetry started and then got writer's block so I need you to help me finish it so it doesn't bug me to death. Have you ever looked upon a star... The one that makes you cry... And maybe even giggle... With such a small twinkle... But with a huge heart... Have you ever looked upon a star... And wondered how to get there... You feel so far away... Yet you can almost see a day... Opening your arms.... For the star that make you smile... Have you ever looked upon a star...

Do you ever wonder what your heart is trying to tell you when it goes pitter patter with a smile or a glimpse? Do you try to figure your heart's very being out? Do you examine every aspect...the good, the bad, and the maybes? Do you live a life with nothing more than a heartfelt feeling but never act upon it? or do you just not know how? Do you love someone but not really knew what the feeling is? Does you heart hurt at the thought of being without someone? even if you think he/she may not even like you in that way? Do you dream of a fulfilled life with someone in which your heart aches for? Do you sweat at the thought of a kiss, a touch, a smile? Maybe you even get a little tingly just by looking at a photo. Your heart is telling you something...what is it? Do you know? Because if you know then maybe you can tell me.
