YOU ALONE KNOW



{Rexarian}

You alone know what in my heart there is :

thoughts of pure joy, dreams of real peace.



              Hearts entwined by moments of love;

              Meanings so hard to tell, yet we must.

              Words which seem our very souls to move;

              lives enshrined in loving moments of trust.



Life became instantly lovely; the sun always shone.

It is YOUR voice, YOUR laughter, thoughts of YOUR eyes, alone!



              The budding, blooming flower of love

              shyly emerging from a heart, towards the sun,

              gently, innocently exploring??most afraid to move?

              is as completely consumed by a gentle fire as by a raging one;





it can be exterminated by but a single tear-drop of doubt, & yet

it can survive a flood of false tears from anxiety & regret.





{Shakespearean,  curtal couplets}

   Where does love come from when come it does?

   Does it arrive in full-bloom, or does it slowly grow?

   We say it buds & grows, but that feeling may just be US;

   We simply realize it, a bit at a time: Truth, who can know?



   Does such love leave a void in Eternity when coming to us?

    SOMEWHERE  it MUST!!  Such pure Happiness couldn?t exist

    Without causing a corresponding emptiness in the Universe.

    "Joy", "Peace", "Friendship", "Love": there is an opposing list.



Our love was born; Oh!, your tender love & mine---

as we found in each other exactly what we hoped was there.

We could not be still, or keep it secret; it was near Divine!

"Love me! Love me!" we sighed. Our lives & love were meant to share!



    My joyful heart sings every time I think of you.

    Life's answer is not WHAT; Life's answer is WHO!

              Life's answer is "YOU!"

              Life's questing was true!!





{Petrarchan)

She's so incredibly tender, unbelievably gentle, sensitive, loving.

She satisfies my heart in a way I never knew I needed.  

A soft breeze on a remotest branch, & the deepest root starts moving.

Soft smiles, quiet words, kind glances; nothing goes unheeded.



I'll love the flowers of her ears, I'll tend the garden of her face.

I'll find Heaven in the parting of her soft, sweet lips.

I desire to bind her tightly with my poems;  my grace.)

                    

The new song of my heart & life is my love for you!

Let me say it, let me sing it; I'll teach you to sing it with me!

A song of love & beauty, with reasons & rhymes so true!

I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE MY SONG! I LOVE YOUR BEAUTY!.



You are the definition of hope & love. Your name is my song.

My finest gifts: my love-words, will garland your body fair.

Your laughter denies from angels & birds what only to them should belong.





{Spenserian}

I needn't kiss your lips, but fill your ears with kisses of my words.

I needn't hold you in my arms, but surround you with my poems.

I needn't caress you, but embrace & thrill those lovely folds

of your mind, replacing sad memory with Love's gentle songs.



Your step will be so light, so wonderfully free!

Your arms will spread wide, for my hungering touch!

Your face will light from inside when you see me.

Your voice, laugh, smile, grace---Oh!, I love you so much!



"I long to surround you with oceans of love!", my heart sings!

Although I know you?ll never soar, & climb, & fly away,

still I envy the pow'r of your soothed, healed, now unbroken wings,

& my prayer - Cherished, Adored Treasure - is that you'll always stay!



      Sweet Dreamer! You bring peace; your love is my power!

      Your smile & glance, & touch compress Eternity into one delightful hour!



{Italian}

We grow closer & closer, & from evidence you cannot hide

I can see that you?ve never been so truly loved, ever in your life.

The beauty of Truth is, you?ve created a heart in me, so wide

that now you're truly befriended, truly beloved, truly my heart's wife.



          Until now you?d never found the lovely man you knew you must;

          That gentle man, who loves you so, & who needs & deserves you, too.

          The man from your first innocent dreams, & the dreamer whom you trust,

          The honorable man, with poems & songs, with whom you'll ever be true.



Your inspirations will feed your hung'ring souls!

Sweet days of Light, long nights of Love run endless!

Your definitions will find mutual, fulfilling roles!

Warm ways of Pleasure will leave your Passions breathless!

     This is the way in Eden it began!

     This is the way of Life for Woman & Man!

    

Oh!, the ineffable secrets of unexpected detours!

Oh!, the inexpressible pleasures of un-anticipated joys!

Who could have known this perfecr union that's ours!?

Have we not shown ALL of the sweet tactics Love employs?



With you & I it is not "loneliness" anymore;

when alone, we go to the solitude of sweet memory.

I am always with you, & never lonely any more,

& the Peace we find, the world can't know nor take away!



There is ONE moment when we KNOW our life is changed!

My heart tried mightily my soul & mind to express!!

There is no arguing with the answer Love has arranged:

your single, sweet, sighing, soft syllable: '"YES"'!!!



           "Oh!, we flew away on each others' wings, long ago.

            Oh!, where we have gone, I & You Alone Know.?
