The Poetry of

Terrified Of Love

You touch me, and I'm terrified
The feelings are too much for me to bear
I've never felt the like of them before
And the level of intensity frightens me
I always keep myself in tight control
Yet you take that so easily from me
And it scares me half to death
It would be so easy to lose myself in your embrace
But I can't let go, I won't
Love won't make a slave of  me
I will guide my own destiny, my own feelings
No one controls me, I do as I please
Until you touch me, then I am lost
My body betrays me every time
And I have never been so afraid

Irresistible Desire

I wait here, breathless, flr your arrival
Anticipation growing with every heartbeat
Though you shouldn't come here, and I shouldn't let you
Our need is simply too great to be denied
We fought against our feelings, tried to stay true
But the pull was just too great for us
And we had no choice but to give in
Now, though we know we should, we cannot stop
We continue with our secret rendesvous
Knowing how dangerous is this game we play
That knowledge adding to the excitement
To become an addiction that neither or us can deny
That neither of us want to deny
Our desire is like none either of us has felt before
And though it will be our destruction
We will continue with this love affair
Until we are found out, and our worlds fall apart

You're A Part Of Me

A thousand times throughout the day
Thoughts of you invade my mind
Whatever task may be at hand
You're always there, at the edge of my consciousness
If I close my eyes, I can feel your touch
I can feel your kiss still on my lips
No matter what work may occupy my hands
My mind and my heart are in tune with you
Something happens, and immediately, I want to share it
  with you
You are such an intricate part of me
I don't know where you end, and I begin
Have we reached the point where we are two halves of a
  whole
I believe it must be so
I know that without you, I am incomplete
But I am never without you, you are always there
In my mind, in my heart, in my soul
