MARIBELLA GENOVA

A MAN LIKE YOU

To my beloved,

You may not understand

what a man like you

does to a woman like me.

Your presence,

awakens the slumber

of my dreams

rushing through my veins

like the sun's glorious light,

brightening our darkened moon.

Happiness is all

that can result,

from a love

that journeyed through the world

to finally.....

reach home.

WORDS DISAPPEAR

We are lovers of words, yielding only to words of love.

With glorious wings, they disappear into

realms of the night, hidden by moon's shadows; iridescent beauty,

igniting our genius.

Lost within the stars they may be,

yet for me,

thrillingly visible,

in the loving stare of your eyes,

creating madness

where never before seen.

In the delicate graze of your touch,

where breath escapes routine,

coveting death for relief.

In the delight of you kisses,

where reality

transcends into nothingness;

obese only with all that is you,

my everything.

I become dizzy,

delighted,

enamored by your havoc.

My words disappear,

tragedy is forthcoming,

my life begins anew.

RUN TO ME

My beloved,

Honored would I be

to lay in the beauty

of your embrace.

Grateful would I be

to kiss the delicacy

of your cheeks.

Death can come

to this desolate reality,

in the sacred presence

of your touch.

My darling,

run to me

find me

where oceans

fuse into

the love we have created,

bridging

two souls,

floating in

a mystery of divine magnitude.
