Nothing Else Feel I love you, while something new here Only to present this in a new way The times change while you don’t appear So this is where my love will stay. I listen to the music and its rhyme plays While I try to find the lines to write To other artists nothing here strays As long as your beauty is in sight. I should be clear, past this express What I feel should be plain What in these lines could not undress Only thinly disguise my pain. I love you, only Heaven can prove Time does not all wounds heal There was only one here my heart move Beyond this, nothing else feel.

Love You See Why is the Rose so splendid and sweet Aren’t there other flowers her beauty rival? But there is only one other fit to meet To bear her sight no other liable. One is flying back to where she lives The other in her home now sleeps While sweet memories one gives The other my heart now keeps. But will the latter be the other flower That to another Rose must bow? I only know that I live in this hour And this love for her I only know. And soon that other flower will land And the earth below will be glad But the Rose I see more closely stand Love you see stronger than what you had.

Sonnet 344 (This World Move) The sun now shines but still not bright The day is warm but still, to me, feels cold The song bird’s notes do not on me alight So long as on this Earth your hand can’t hold. Though Roses bloom their radiance don’t see Their gardens full but, still, to me are bare The beauty only seen when you're with me And all else pales when, in your sight, compare. And life goes on but, yet, to me stands still All else may live but, now, my heart denied For all that made it real was through your will And that could only be when by your side.  And when the morning comes one thing will prove That only through your love can this world move.  

Even Worth Living So now that you have left me I am too numb to feel And afterwards will come the pain Right now nothing seems real Except not seeing you again. But sleep is coming and, so, my dreams Maybe there you will reappear But the morning will show the sun’s beams And you will not be here. I don’t know how such loss will affect me Except an empty place you once made full And tomorrow where, you, will not see In a world you made wonderful. I don’t know how I can face such a day Without the love you kept giving Knowing you are not there to guide the way Now I wonder if it is even worth living.

Heaven Know I watch you as Heaven is reclaiming your soul But a part of it you still will leave behind So that following its trail to you, one day go So the happiness we shared, again, with you find. I am learning that our lives we merely borrow The time we spend here can never truly own For the day will come when there is no tomorrow Except in a realm where only dreams are sown. And I will see you there, my love, where dreams are true And though you leave now will never be truly apart For all that I can ever feel or know comes from you For all in what makes life real comes from your heart. I watch as your breaths draw you to a place divine The one to which, one day, we all, too, go But Heaven has to concede that you are only mine For only through our love do Heaven know.

Reborn My emotional investment in you is all I can give In no other can my feelings share If you go in an empty place must live To only one woman my soul bare. I know this you may, to me, refute Isn’t love something our lives surprise? But my heart this argument will dispute For ever broken should you close your eyes. This is the wrong time of year for this to face But is there ever a good time for love to leave? Still, Spring is the season where new life embrace Instead, where the Rose blooms I now will grieve. I do not know what I will face when I, too, go But it is clear what this world will look to me A preview of Death here all I will know But reborn if, in the next realm, your smile see.

Only Through Your Love What seemed eternal lasts but a day That comes and makes you realize That nothing so precious can’t be taken away And even Oblivion can’t dull my cries. I wish that Time came for me, instead For without you the sun has left its home But if Time took me Death only once led Instead, left in the darkness to roam. Like a Rose that stands in her gardenly attire It seems this floral home everlasting If I could only have frozen such desire So that beauty lasts, and all else fleeting. But you, like the Rose, the world blessed to see And what Heaven gives back to it must return And you were the flower that grew for me Now Heaven will take what I can only mourn. You, like the bird whose notes sound so sweet Its chords seem to always fill the air It was your voice that made my world complete And like a winter that comes no longer there. Like an Angel that so much love to me give Too much beauty for this world to keep I guess Heaven is the home where you must live To leave a mortal man your absence weep. If only our moments could never leave I would trade those for what never seems to give Or if only from this granted a reprieve For only through your love did I ever live. Now all that will be lasting is my sorrow And, cruel Time, you will not take that, too But let me know it will be there tomorrow Only an empty life left remembering you. So, I should know that life comes with a lease And what I love only in moments measure And once they go I will not find any peace For your love is all that I could ever treasure.  

If Not Mine Goodbye my love, though this pains me to write My best lines I can only look back to see For then you were in my sight And could wish you were with me. But, now, I must sadly realize I can only tell what I will miss Empty lines without this prize That would be sealed with your kiss. That is why from the page stay away Only the haven where hope occupy If with me no chance you will stay No use if with me you will not lie. So, I should understand and let you go And leave these pages without a line They are only filled with the love I know And only empty if you are not mine.

When in your Arms And any instruments chords only appreciated through you For the music they make is our rhapsody Or else their sounds through my heart can’t break through For even your simplest words sound the finest melody. And any flowers that grow need more than the spring But our romance the fertile field they best grow And as splendid the rose not equal to the beauty you bring And the most decorated gardens pale to the splendor you show. And when the summer comes its warmth only with you appreciate For its hottest days not rival our passion's fire And even its longest days for your appearance must wait For they only give more time to feed our desire. The night comes but its canopy you provide I look above but only through your eyes see the moon And the stars only shine brightest when you are by my side So they are only the heavenly servants when, in your arms, swoon.
