How I Love You

Maybe I'm amazed at the way
you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love u
Maybe I'm scared at the way I really
Need you

When I see you
My stomach flatters
(not butterflies this time, try locusts!!)
My heart!
Oh my heart it aches with longing


And then you smile
Oohh!! That smile
It relights the embers;
Can't remember what sadness
Feels like


Maybe I'm amazed by the depth
Of your soul
For it surely can't be that deep!!
Maybe I'm just speechless
Bubbling with all emotion unsaid


How I love you!!!

Of Love en Other Disasters

I feel my heart race
When you look into my soul
And then you smile,
My innards tumble over each other

I tremble under your touch
A rash of need spreads all over me
I shudder, with the abscence of you
A rush of fear races down the spine

And there is a Deep-seated ache
That is slowly poisoning its way
Shaking the very core of my being

Aarrgghh!!!

Oh this love
That rekindles the embers of my soul
How can it, at the same time,
Threaten to destroy my very being?!
