"Forever Deep in My Heart" My zest for life, which was once a raging flame, is now but only a dim spark which flickers as the cold and chilly winds of broken heartedness blow on this melancholy day. Oh.......such profound sadness, heartache, and loneliness...I must endure, for my lady, my true love, has went away, like a lost sparrow in a winter storm....she is gone. Just yesterday, we held one another close in the glow of soft candles...our hearts ablaze, embraced in a wondrous union of sensual solitude...with loving sentiments exchanged... our worlds: perfect... replete... and beyond reproach. My mind is flooded with a thousand images of your natural beauty and loveliness. My heart was stolen the moment we first met... the second I first saw your warm and inviting smile. When I speak your name, I hear a thousand violins playing in perfect harmony and experience serenity like never before...you move me like no other. Remember that night in September, not so long ago... nor that far away, when our lips first touched in the moonlit park? Our first kiss made me melt like a fast burning candle on a hot summer's eve. Each moment we share is special, revered, and cherished....your sweet love adds life to my existence, color to my world, and brings the utmost beauty to my soul. What am I now to do? For without your love, my sad heart pangs in sorrowful emptiness. My shoulders seemingly bare the weight of the world...a loss that is deep, profound, and endless. Without your soft touch and loving embrace, I am hopelessly lost. On the day we parted ...I found myself standing in front of Albert's ole jukebox, like a broken hearted school boy in love ......searching for those "broken Heart" love songs to play...just looking for something to ease the pain and emptiness inside...maybe a temporary escape or just a place to hide my lonely heart. You're apart of me every second of every day...first thought when I awake...final thought as I fall asleep. In my dreams, we dance endlessly to long...slow... love ballads. We share ecstasy in every breath we draw, every gentle caress...every dance step taken. Oh my lady, how I yearn to hear your voice...hold you in my eager arms, tightly pulled against my chest, and whisper my sentiments of love...for it is you alone...who remain "Deep in my heart". Life without you is impossible...it's like a forest without trees, a river without a raging current, the sky without clouds or the world without sunshine. While apart, the absence of you is immeasurable... the torment unrelenting...for like a wounded animal, I long to retreat to the wild, nurse my wounded soul, and hide away from the world until we are brought together again. I never thought I could love one so strongly...so fervently. Never really believed in "love at first sight"... until meeting you. I just can't stop thinking about you...desiring or wanting you. Never before has someone dominated my every thought ... captured my every emotion.... I need your touch...I long to look deeply into your eyes...hold you close...and make passionate love in the soft glow of candle light...then drift off to sleep with you. When you awake...I want to be the first person you see...I want my voice to be the first that you hear...my touch and embrace to be the first that you feel. I want us to experience the first early mornings light and together gaze at the fading stars and moon...all while watching the sun slowly climb to the heavens from the East. I just want to hold you and greet the new day wrapped in one another's arms. Call it fate...call it destiny...even label me a hopeless romantic... but I believe in tomorrow... as our paths will surely merge again one day... for in my heart I know that the bonds of our love transcends the moon, the stars, and the earthly heavens above. I have always believed in the saying "for everything there is a reason".... I therefore believe, and hold to be true, the fact that our meeting was more than mere chance or coincidence. Hence, The theme of "meant to be" resonates in my heart when I think of you and I. Oh, my darling...do you know just how much I treasure your love? Though not a skilled poet or gifted writer, nor accomplished weaver of words, I can only hope that you can fully comprehend my humble but heartfelt sentiments. For my thoughts are clear and my words are true ...my special lady. Oh, my love... how I earnestly hope and pray that the heavens above will usher you back to my waiting arms and my restless heart... So that I may offer you... without reservation or a moments hesitation... my heart eternally and pledge to you my deep and enduring love from this moment forward... For today, tomorrow, and always....you are my sweet lady...my lover...my life...my world! |
