MY FIRST WILL ALWAYS BE YOU
When first, I tasted your
sweetness... After long years, thinking of nothing but work, And work to death,
I did. Never have I expected To be
falling in love again. I was very much falling
Falling in love with love, so, I thought. When first we met, and first tasted I, your
sweetness... My dormant innermost being pirouetted, plummeted, And tumbled.
Never in my wildest dream, Not even in
my wildest imagination have I expected This blissful feeling – wondrous, full
of ecstasy! When first, I had this
unexplainable feeling... You have awakened the slumbering wanton in me, For
yours is an incomparable sweetness, so intense, so fulfilling. An enormous wanting that cascades into my
very soul. Oh, you will always be, for
no one else ever will. My first will
always be you, the only man in this lifetime,
Who will have touched me like you did, since first we have lain. Just as
you will always be, the last man, I will hold dear Ever so close to my heart,
for you will always remain In my heart on every day, though the heavens are no
more. I
THINK OF YOU
When love strikes without
prior notice, I think of you
When this feeling lurks
beyond the recesses of my consciousness, I think of you
And when day is done and
there is no one to comfort me, I think of you
When heart is so full and
so much overwhelmed, I think of you.
When pain seers through my
vein as if to consume me, I think of you.
When heart is replete with
joy as if the joy never ends, I think of you.
When thoughts wander and
tarry on things past, I think of you.
When blissful moments
shared with you come back, I think of you.
When wistful memories of a
love that never was comes back, I think of you.
When first we have lain,
touches my deepest innermost being, I think of you.
When the desire to be with
you seems to overflow, I think of you.
Such are my fondest and
innermost thoughts for only you...
HOW DO I LOVE THEE?
I love thee so much that I
cannot count the ways.
I love thee for having
touched the recesses of my soul.
I love thee more even when
you stay away and keep silent.
I love thee more because
your absence only makes my heart grow fonder.
Thus, I love thee more and
more each minute of everyday.
I love thee like no man has
ever touched my heart.
I love thee ‘even if’, ‘no
matter what’, ‘for always will be’
Because thou art the only
one my heart recognizes.
Then, I shall but love
thee ever when all else has left.
More so, I shall but love thee when everything else
has fallen.
