Dandelion (2)

For someone I can't put their initials up

I have found a dandelion,
I the coolness of the heat.
I want to give it to you,
Because you are what I hoped to find.

The glimmer of hope I held onto,
For so long, so long.
I found you among the weeds,
That lovely spot of yellow.

You are special,
You're amazing to me.
Sensitive like the petals,
Resilient like the stem,
Lovely like the color.

I've never had this much comfort,
Just in knowing you're there.
Knowing I have beauty holding my hand,
Knowing I have something as real as a flower.
The very flower that gives me hope.

I have found a dandelion,
I picked it just for you,
Because you are what I had hoped to find...
And more.

I Didn't Turn Around

For T.B.

I climbed over hills,
Rolling green with spots of brown.
The sun looks down through leaves of green,
Like your eyes when I look at you.

I didn't turn around,
Because you're the one person I look forward to.
Just like the dry earth
Waits for the rain to fall.

I didn't turn around,
Because I am not going to look in the past.
That is where time is wasted,
and I want that time to be with you.

I climbed over hills,
And I didn't turn around.
I see the stars,
But they shine duller than you.

How Lucky I Am

For T.B.

I am amazed,
An overwhelming feeling.
It makes me want to cry rejoicing,
I am lucky.

The burning desire in my soul,
Like the sun shining in my heart.
How sweetly a tender kiss is on your lips,
The butterflies flutter about their cage.

A graceful smile passes through.
And it recharges me like lightning.
To see that pleasure across your face,
Reminds me how lucky I am.

I want to burst out crying,
Amazed at the life I have now,
And the future I am building with you.
The feeling soaringly bubbles more.

Reminding me of my luckiness,
Is the feel of my head against your chest.
When we hold each other, I hear the steadiness in your heart.
It warms me to the core.

Seeing your striking blue-green eyes,
Feels me to the brim of contentedness,
Their beauty reminds me to smile,
And the fact that I'm yours.

At night, when I sleep,
I think of your chest rising and falling in rhythm.
How lucky I am,
To have you.
