Tomorrow

You are seducing me with a sweet persistence.
I can not hold out much longer.
I feel and see you constantly,
and when I think about tomorrow,you are all I can imagine.
My heart surrendered to you the first time we met.
So why have I not been acting the way a lover should act?
Pride is the answer,
but pride comforts a man temporarily, like a strong drink, 
and I am growing tired of the hangovers.


                                                                                               -Toltev

The Leap

I know you will be there.
Your soft touch, your gentle presence.
But I am like a child on the side of a pool,hesitating to jump into familiar arms.
My longing for you has grown beyond the fear,so I must jump.
Ready or not,here I come.

            -Toltev




Falling

I lose myself in you sweet Lover,the way rain is lost in the sea.
I long for your touch,and the subtle whisper of your breath.
Tell me who I am, so I may return to the clouds,
only to fall for you over and over again.

                                                                                                           -Toltev

Request

I ask you please sweet Lover,
help me to unfold my many petals,
so I may fully bathe in the energy of your Light.
Your warmth is my love,and your smile is my Light.

         -Toltev

Guided

You amaze me in the colors you choose and the forms you create.
Your imagination inspires me and floors me all at once.
I am guided by you, the way a rose follows the sun.
I feel you when I smile and even see you through my tears.
Your love cries with me and comforts me when I am lost.
Your subtle ways are more intoxicating than any drink or fruit.
You leave me spinning for days with every embrace.
I am addicted to your presence, the more I taste the more I need.
Kiss me again sweet flower.
               
                                                                                         -Toltev
