If If kisses were light, I'd send enough to make you go blind, This light would be bright enough to be seen by all mankind, It would flow through the world and make you squint your eyes, Its immense brightness would even uncover the worst lies, When you kiss me it makes my day bright, It fills my mind up with the most heavenly light, If it were up to me, I would kiss you for as long as time would allow, I want to slow down time when I'm with you; I wish I knew how, If love was water, I would send you a flood, It would be of the purest type, not polluted with mud, We'll have to build a boat, so we can float on this stuff, Because we all know how love goes, sometimes it gets rough, The waves and the storms try to sink our two person ship, But we have to stay close and strong so the boat will not flip, I'm glad that right now the waters are calm, We have God's help; he has us in his palm, If hugs were a color, for you it would be blue, I'd send you so many you might turn blue too, My arms would surround you, love you, and hold on tight, Never to let go, comfort you when you get a fright, It's cold outside, but here next to your body there is heat, You taste better than candy; you taste oh so sweet, I hope this time never ends, leaves, or departs from me, Because you're my baby and I hope we'll always be. Like I need you like the beach needs its sand, I don't want a thing; it's only you I demand, You say you need me like a body needs a brain, Without this essential part, it will soon go insane, We fit together perfectly like a key in a lock, Our relationship should last since it's built upon a rock, We've been together a while now, it's been better then I thought, Our relationship still hung in there even though we may have fought, Some people tried to tear us apart, like a puppy with and a house shoe, They thought we would get sick of each other as if we had the flu, We've proven them wrong, and lasted this long, I'll be here until the end, Even if you get sick of me, I'll still want to be, at the very least, a friend, If love was light, mine would make the sun seem dim and un-bright, Try not to look at it all at once though or you might lose your sight, I love your skin; it's soft like a teddy bear washed by Downy You taste so sweet, close to candy, or maybe a brownie, I wonder what I taste like to you; hopefully it's something good, I hope you think that it's ok, because you shouldn't do it if you don't think you should, We need each other like a shoe needs a foot to move and walk, We need each other like a mouth needs a tongue to taste and talk, Without each other, our lives will be incomplete, like a book without pages, Even if you're a little bit younger, love does not have ages If there is one thing that I like, it's the way you kiss me, I lose control, and things simply disappear all too quickly. When Nothing Compares When people talk about looks, comparison is used, But what can you say when mere words only abuse? By this, I mean that you are so much better than language, So what can I use to link to you? I need to find a bridge, Some would use the sun, but your smile is far more brilliant, No verbal means are good enough; your beauty is too resilient, Some would use diamonds, but your eyes are too glittery, How can you put gems to shame? Is your beauty some form of debauchery? Some would use the seasons; saying your pleasant like the springs flower selection, But the winter comes and messes that up for most, but your always perfection, Some would compare your smell to a lily, a tulip, or a rose, But the smell you leave is not temporary; it infests the brain, instead of the nose, Some would compare their love's voice to a stream or creak, But the way your vocal cords vibrate makes even a world class orchestra sound bleak, Some compare their mate's lips to the taste of sweet nectar, But the way you taste is far above all earthly flavors in every sector, Some compare their feelings to making lots of money, But the pleasures you give are impossible to receive, just like no bees no honey, So what can I do when words do not suffice? I need a new form of communication; for language is not the right device, So where do I get this, if on earth it is not found? Well there is one thing that compares, but in this world they do not abound, So that poses the question of your humanity, Because you not being real would help me keep my sanity, But angels stay in heaven, and humans stay on earth, And both entities can not stay where there mother's did not give birth, Even with this knowledge, I am still lost; my confusion continues to dangle, I have no choice but to elect the impossible, are you an angel? |
