Memories

"Whispers Of Passion"

I've been trying to write this poem for days,

 I pick up the pen and it just feels

 lifeless ...

 unlike what lives inside my heart;

Just  how does one 

 begin to speak of love

 when the tongue is heavy

 with too many words,

yet not nearly enough?

 My head used to spin

 trying to figure out my purpose,

 why I'm here,

 where I belong;

 asking questions to gods that never cared enough to listen.

   &

  I never believed in soul mates,

but now you have me seeing

 things I never knew existed:

 Paradise

 in your eyes,

 home

 in your arms.

 You gave me the inner peace I've been struggling to find,

 I guess this is what it means

 to know life in every breath.

 So tell me do you hear it too,

 how our hearts beat as if one...

 because you have this poet stuttering,

 almost speechless,

 breaking down with joy,

 and every single tear

 is a word I don't know how to say.
