You Enlightend My Soul

When I held you in my hands,
I felt so much at peace....
Like a tussle of silky strands,
You stole away my ease....

I looked into your eyes,
So innocent and defenceless inside,
Like the misty, hilly cries,
My tears in my eyes reside.

I took you in my arms,
And held you close to me,
You looked up into my eyes,
And I recalculated my destiny.

When you saw through all of me,
I was filled with honey dew....
When moments of joy are free,
And all I think of is you.

Weeping in the silent darkness,
And mellow moods do sound,
I reach beyond my harness,
And to you my thoughts do bound.

Merry and insane in pale light,
Wrapped in the folds of your soul,
I bask with a strange and utter delight,
A delight that's so very whole.

I met your eyes by chance,
While analysing a problem together,
So vivid and clear in that glance,
To stare is obscene, say an endeavor.

With bolts of lightening you charged me,
And now like a squeezed sponge I spew,
In slow motion you stretched and enlarged me,
But I'm still soft like mountain dew.

Bold with pride, I charged at life,
And strangely easy did it seem,
That I had ignored all of my strife,
So the diamonds inside me should gleam.

I moved over into a world alone,
Where no soul could touch me there,
But still my sadness has'nt gone,
Though something else, we share....

Maybe I hide, and do it well....
Or just maybe I need a poke,
Maybe no one can ever even tell,
Maybe it's just misguided hope....
