(Dedicated to Robin Kittles)
Slowly your eyes begin to open
and Heaven becomes exposed
Now I am helplessly hoping
that your eyes will never be closed
It's your innocent inspiration
that captures my affection
and sparks my fascination
with your glorious perfection
and in that single moment
time has no place here
I can't tell past from present
or one second from one year
Whisper one simple phrase
for that's all that's needed
to set my soul ablaze
and makes Heaven exceeded
for all the wrongs I've committed
with you are now erased
forgiveness is permitted
from fear, hope is replaced
You make me re-born in new light
through your soul so divine
You are my blindness to sight
My water to wine
My losing to winning
My criticize to praise
My end to my beginning
of the rest of my days
and if today was the last day
that I would see you again
I would have so much to say
but wouldn't know where to begin
So many words to be said
feelings felt, thoughts to be told
without you, I would feel dead
broken, forgotten and cold
For if God called for you to come home
then I'd beg to be taken instead
because living without you alone
is so much worst than being dead
and if I were to die tonight
and to be gone forever
then everything would be alright
if we could spend tonight together.

That is the most awesome poem you have written yet! It is great and I hope you can keep that kind of passion forever. To me it's like the ultimate love poem. I can, from my stand point, actually see Jeff and I know how you feel. I'm glad that you have found someone to make you feel that way. It's just really really good, and I love it and I am not ashamed at all to say that I am a hopeful romantic and it makes me feel all "mushy" inside.
