Because of You

This is another of my favorite poems, one that I feel helped me to achieve another level to my writing.  Believe it or not, this poem flowed from my fingertips to a piece of looseleaf paper, from beginning to end, without me even thinking about it.  The words truly wrote themselves...

Because of You

I can hear your gentle voice,

as I play it over and over again

silent whispers in the night.

blades of grass

dance about my fingertips…

learning back with a smile,

I think of you.

I can still taste your lips

ever fresh in my mind

your kiss…

softly spoken passion.

the clear night offers its world to me

arms outstretched

I take it…

and place it in your delicate hands.

knowing that in time

I can give it all to you…

piece by piece.

wanting to make all your dreams come true

lost in a world of serenity

I smile…

because of you.
