I Am All Yours
Who Doesn't Enjoy A Good Love Poem
You have things to do
I get it
I give you space
I am in no rush
As you go on with your day
I am not seen or heard from
I am there all the same
All I have to do
Is close my eyes
I feel your passionate touch
Off in a distance
I can see your shadow
Nobody else knows who it is
I know it is you
When you eat
I know what you like
What you will never touch
Even if it was the last food on earth
You have your moods
You can go from happy to off the charts
With a touch of madness
Where your temper gets the best of you
Nobody is perfect
You have that blood that boils
A temper that has no control
I have tried to change your attitude
As stubborn and persistent as you are
You would never listen
Let alone change
It never stops me from trying
Because with that fire
I see a burning flame
One that has so much passion
Unexplored love
Waiting to be shared
You aren't about to give it away
Without good reason or a fight
You hold it sacred
So as much as I dial the slow combination
I know this will click all the right tumblers
You have surprised me again
By changing the combination
Other people will turn and leave
You can not push me away
I am here to stay
I can see far into the future
In a booth far back in the corner
We sit and talk
Where we spend long hours
Bringing up every old memory
That you have gripped so tight
Your left hand became achy
Not your right
Laughing and sharing those special times
Making you see
This is only the beginning of life
There is much more to follow
When beauty is everywhere
On T.V. and in every ad
You can search forever on the internet
I don't have to look any further
I have found a match
You don't find it in any playbook
It is something special
A one of a kind
The beginning of many firsts
Where you let your guard down
Let me in
Let me in
Not a chance
I will sit and wait
For each door that opens
I will race to see if it you
Disappointed not to see
It is only a matter of time
I know tomorrow will be different
The sun always surprises me with it's enormous heat
That reminds me of the day
You were hot and your hair was a mess
You complained and burst out in to tears
If could see inside of me
You would know what I know
A beautiful young girl trying so desperately to escape
As I held out my hand
You shook it off
As if I got this
From that day forward
I broke my heart in two
Half my heart filled with patience
The other half with love
The days that followed
I have always remained determined and strong
There will be a time
We are arm and arm
Your hand resting comfortably in my hand
The world we will travel
The places we will see
They will never hold up a candle
To your incredible love
The more I search for ways to sweep her off her feet
She has so much to do
I just missed her
As she walks away
In her deep dark brown eyes
I see the a rich honesty and thoughtfulness
A kindness that gives and gives
For each attempt I come closer
Only to be dragged away
Her heart is in the right place
She won't give in
As much as see
There is so much more to discover
When I see her lower lip quiver
I know I still have a chance
She constantly fights a heroic fight
So many battles have been lost
Things are never perfect
She will not stop until things are different
She knows perfection isn't possible
That doesn't stop her from trying
I know when her eyes are tired and her head starts to bob
I see her heavy eyelids close
Then when I think she is a sleep
She rushes to wake
Looking as if nothing has happened
I can hear a child's laugh
One that was so innocent and cute
I know that child was you
Loving life and loving people
That is what you do
So all the steps I keep climbing
You are worth the wait
There may be many people that are happy
Equally as many people that are sad
I want to be ecstatic
Not for a moment
For it is never good enough
For this lifetime and any that come after that
That is what we can discover together
It is not that hard to make
All we have to be is ourselves
Through and through
The love that we have always felt
Will be true and true
As people plan their day
I never know what mine will bring
For I will dance with the wolves
Play with their pups
I do know who I will be with
With her sweet and tender touch
When the day is long
There is no place else I'd rather be
