That Kind Of Love
It's that kind of love that only
A few people will ever know.
That kind of love that most
People can't understand.
That kind of love that
Make you curl your toes
It's the kind of love that makes
Sweat sit in the palm of your hands.
It is that kind of love that makes
You lose track of time.
Usually at the wrong time,
when you are running behind time.
And you don't have the time
Not to be on time.
It's that kind of love that makes
You want to express it
On a freeway exit billboard sign.
It is that kind of love that
Your friends make fun of you about.
That kind of love that makes people
Get up in church and shout.
That kind of love that
You would step in front of a train for.
Walk in the rain for...
To the corner store.
To get a box of Honey Grams,
Just because you said you liked S'mores.
It's that kind of love that makes you
Check your voicemail to make
Sure you did not miss one.
That kind of love that makes
Every day feel like new love
Just begun.
It is that kind of love that
Gives you pain when you're apart.
It's that kind of love that
Stops your heart.
And a kiss is the only thing that
Will get it to start.
It's that kind of love that people
Write songs about.
That kind of love that every
Word that comes out of your mouth
Begins with So, and so, and I...
It's true love no doubt.
It's the kind of love that
You can't get enough of
That kind of love you never
Thought would come your way
That kind of love that must be
Sent from above.
It is that kind of love that makes
everyday Christmas Day,
And New Years Eve...
The 4th of July.
It's that kind of love that makes you feel high.
It's that kind of love that
Will make you change
Your cell phone plan
So you have more time.
That kind of love that made early man
Learn to make fire.
I ask myself, "Is this love real"?
How could it be anything else?
Because, it's that kind of love we don't
Have to talk about.
It's the kind of love that only
We can feel.

This is one of my favorite poems that I have done in the last year. I hope you like it. It was done for my girlfriend not long after we met.
Inhale
Your desire is to inhale.
So, inhale with all your will
Inhale what I give…what I feel.
Inhale me until the day our
Heartbeats are still.
It is your weakness that
Makes you strong.
After so many years
I now know where I belong.
I stand before something
That one-day will be
Remembered in song.
Shall I go on?
Your desire is to inhale
Someone that will be there
When you are old and gray.
Someone who, will not run away
Someone who will not forget
That a simple bouquet,
Of roses
Would brighten your day.
Someone who is honest to the core
Well, rest assure
I have come to adore, and want more
Of what is in store.
This is what
I have prayed for...
I could never ignore
The beauty that you posses.
Of which I am impressed.
So, lay to rest... your fears
For my dear to me it is clear.
To have found you I am truly blessed.
Your desire to inhale...
So, inhale...
Inhale
