My Spirit You

My Spirit You How you came to be here I just don’t know But now it feels like You were always there A stranger in the darkness Waiting for the light of love to show How you’ve always been there Someone I have always known Now you are like a blue girl Dressed in summer clothes Laughing in the sunshine Playing on the swings of my heart Rising to the heavens And out beyond the stars A picture of my freedom Flowing in your flaming auburn hair And I want to run, run right to you But I can only stand and stare At the beauty that surrounds you Its recognition in my eyes Has always been there And I am a timid little schoolboy Who’s bravery slowly grows Captured by the sweetness of a southern rose Surprise myself by kissing your cheek And fumbling for the words And all I can do is take your hand In the middle of my life’s old playground Placing on your head A daisy chain crown My Princess with her golden arrow Cupid shot straight into my soul Seems you’ve always been there Playing on the strings Breaking on my tears For eternal loving Lifting in my spirit you And all I can do Is love you And all I can do is want you From a distance Like an inept teenager Confronted and confounded by your loveliness And can only think of what he would do to her Given half the chance His flushed blood leaving him immobile And fidgeting alone in anguished prose Of flashing eyes And swelling curves And the sound of her voice makes his head spin And all I can do, is be the man I am And tell you How much I love you And how this did not come to me But grew inside me A seed planted sometime and somewhen That new its conclusion before it ever began Seems you’ve always been there Seems this place was made for you Seems my heart always belonged to you Seems I am irrevocably Uncontrollably Irresistibly In love With you

Yes, must agree with our friends comments below. Your longing is overwhelming and, as always, amazingly expressed. To be so in love, it just hurts so much. This poem is like the feeling you get when you hear a favorite love song - deeply happy/sad. We can feel you, cause you write it just a little too well. Sigh. Go get her will you, if you can, and continue your story to us please. Love, Shar

Isn't it funny how we feel "Like an inept teenager" when we fall in love? You've hit on the joys we find in passionate admiration, Colin. Loved this beautiful poem!

This is a love poem that makes me want you to get your girl..that auburn princess needs to know how much you love her..some how I think she knows...the words in this poem speaks with such longing and desire..it hurts to see the distance that is preventing these hearts from becoming one..where ever she resides..whether she is a figment or someone tangible....go for it..sail the oceans and make it happen..a life without regret brother..without regret.
