Poetry - Crystal Visions of You and Me

Crystal Visions of You and Me

Bright lights are now flashing before me,
Fireworks, am I ready for what is happening ?

Oh, the pain that turns and causes change,
The planets come even closer now.

Clouds surround, winds cooling more,
Figures moving, coming closer now.

Do you push them away and then hide,
Inside where it once seemed so safe ?

But No! I feel numb and want no more,
So, changing it all, I jump into the blue.

Now falling free, down, down and down,
Finally landing in a place as soft as a pillow.

An angel appears, smile and begins to say:
“I have a surprise and a challenge for you”.

Do you want more of exactly the same ?
Or, are you ready for the kiss of the soul ?

I’m just so tired now, what a price to pay,
Come, open your heart, and tell me a story.

Sun and rainbows appear, touching upon you,
Dreams that you once had, might really be.

Never once did I know that I could really believe,
Until I met the one, my forever Love Flower.

She challenged me, and looking at me, said:
“I need you to accept me and be true.”

Too many have said that they are real,
Then disappear, only to crush me again.

You must be different, please Lord, please,
Otherwise, I just can’t stand it anymore1

Taking you into my arms, I say:
“Please don’t go, come be with me”

You are now ready to sing and dance,
But, demand the best for you from me.

Please Davy, I’ve never had one like me,
I may be complex, but see, I’m an angel too!

Dear one. I want only one thing now,
To love you as my darling special one.

Nikki, I promise to love you and be true,
Sharing all my joys and challenges with you.

Being your lover, and forever best friend,
Finding a true love together thru the grace of God.

Dreams we only imagined, are coming true,
It’s you and me now, sharing our crystal visions.

Never in my wildest dreams, did I think I’d find,
A beautiful woman who’s as loving as me.

You see like me, you feel like me, and now,
We love each other forever and even.

Come Nicole, love me true, and be mine,
And love me like only you know how!

while on my way to see her. And inspired by a
beautiful bracelet she made for me as a “Gift of Love”
