~ Heart and Soul ~

~ Mirror of My Soul ~

I see my reflection so clear,
although there is no mirror in sight.
Only your dark eyes piercing mine
with your intense, pondering gaze.

I see my hopes and dreams.
My accomplishments and failures.
I see my beliefs and disbeliefs.
And I see me, all that I am,

Never have I viewed myself so clearly.
There are no foggy visions,
no doubts in my mind.
Only the naked truth.
Only the things I already know,
but sometimes go astray from.

But never for too long.
For you are always there,
reminding me of the path I once chose.
The one I became misdirected on
by so many lost and shallow souls.

You speak to me with no words.
And I hear you
with no sound breaking the silence
And echoing in my ears, only in my heart.
I feel you with no touch.
There is no need for it,
for I'll always feel you.

I see my reflection not in a mirror,
but in your eyes.
They alone mirror my heart and soul.
All my beliefs and disbeliefs.
All that I am and all I hope to become.
And for this alone, I love you
and always will.

~ From The Heart ~

I wanted to make you smile,
I could have said I'll die for you
Or walk a thousand miles.
That may sound poetic
But never really sincere.

It's hard to put into words
What I feel "in here"
"In here" is where you are
You've been there from the start
You alone and no one else
Buried deep inside my heart.

My heart waited an eternity for you
it knew the quiet strength of your voice,
the gentle touch of your hands,
and the tender feel of your kiss
even though I did not.

My soul ached for you,
needing yours to be complete.
It whispered your name,
and you heard it.
