Poem Artwork

Nothing Compares To You…



You hold out your hand,
Across the sea and land,
And I see it shimmering,
In the morning mist,
Wondering what I will miss,
If I dare not reach out,
And find what your love is all about…

Your words are borne to me,
On the winds of night dreams,
And I watch them play out,
In the darkness of my mind,

I smile,
When I hear you say,
I love you,
Wondering if my heart
Can speak the words it hears,
And say softly,
I love you too…

What is this thing we do?
Choosing to love in a world gone mad,
Our love is safe,
Will exist forever in the world,
For it exist in our hearts,
And in our souls,
Not in the world
Contaminated by man,
And their damn lies…

I look at you,
I see the love in your eyes,
Hear the words spoken by your heart,
Dare I believe the words you speak?
Dare I reach out and take that hand?
Choose to love the only man,
I have met that makes me feel this way?

I sit and think today,
And in my mind is madness,
The thought of living without you,
I cannot bear,
The thought of never hearing you laugh again,
Would destroy me my beloved…

Not even my forest,
Dark and lovely,
Compares to you,
Not the moon,
Not the stars,
Not my lovely lakes and streams,
Nothing my love,
Moves my heart as much as
Those words you sing to me,

I love you,
I take your hand,
And let you pull me close,
I feel such love flowing from your heart,
Kiss your lips and tell you,

“Baby,
If I come,
We must never part…
I can not bear for love,
To leave me again…”

Thus in the morning light,
I reach out with all my might,
Our fingers touch in the mist,
Our lips meet in our first kiss,

My whole body burns with fire,
I have never felt such desire,
To love and live,
And be with you-

Dawn breaks,
And the sun rises,
The light revealing such beauty,
But nothing compares to,
The love I feel for you…
