About The Author



I Only Said I Love You

I only said "I love you",
if only I'd said more.
But in that phrase "I love you",
Is everything for sure.

It means I'll miss you dearly,
Your voice and gentle touch.
It means I'll miss you daily,
so very, very much.

If I had more warning,
I'd have told you such a lot,
But you went without the telling.
Much more than just a jot.

If I had been more forthright,
And if I had made a start.
I'd have poured out words forever,
And told you all my heart.

But I only said "I love you",
If only I'd said more.
But in that phrase "I love you",
Is everything for sure.



Your Love Makes Me Complete

Your love is like the glue,
That binds my broken heart.
And holds us both together,
Those times we are apart.

Your smile is the sun ray,
That warms my frozen soul.
Melting us together like
A flowing loving whole.

Your eyes are like the windows,
That reflect my aching grief.
Displaying to the world at large
Love beyond belief.

Your skin is like a velvet touch,
That strokes my longing flesh.
To which I cling, as I declare,
My love for you afresh.

Your lips are like a dark red rose,
That glistens in the snow.
And when you place them next to mine,
They show their love anew.

In short, you are my everything,
And every time we meet.
My hopes, and yours, are all combined,
You make my life complete.



And Yet

There's an emptiness in my soul
Like the hunger pain of someone starving;
But I'm not hungry for food,
I'm hungry for you.

There's a blindness in my eyes
Like the darkness of someone who can't see;
But I'm not in the darkness of light,
I'm in the darkness of your absence.

There's a silence in my voice
Like the silence of someone who can't speak;
But I'm not silent through being mute,
I'm silent because I can't speak to you.

There's a deafness in my ears
Like the deafness of someone who can't hear;
But I'm not deaf through not hearing,
I'm deaf because I can't hear you.
