A Collaborative poem

I wrote this with a friend of mine, Joann, she is quite amazing.



How have you captured this lost soul of mine?
I see you approaching
the sway of your hips
mesmerizing like a siren's sweet song
I gather this courage, built up for ages,
to leap blindy into the depths of your compassion

How could you never see through me?
these feelings I didn't hide
I've come to you countless times
always looking for my way out
but that strength I found in you
slowly engulfed me like a warm rising sun

Will you listen to me when I tell you?
there's no denying it, believe me I've tried
only your presence can make me feel alive
see, it's time I told you, this secret I've held inside
I've yelled it to world, they know the truth
You deserve to know, that I love you.

How did you expect me not to fall?
even now, standing before me
you are the vision of every man's dream
a fiery temper, eyes full of wisdom
every curve of your body burns in my mind
I live entraced by every word to escape your lips

I wonder, will you share this with me?
I can wait patiently, time is my friend 
for now that I've thrown my cards on the table
and I don't know what kind of hand you dealt me
I fear,
Ill lose this bet
