Chapter One

All Is Love Poems

    Do You Know My Name?


    At that very moment when time stood still,
    I realized the existence of something so real.

    The fallacy of an adventure, of a road less traveled,
    I began to discover my feelings unshackled.

    Wondrous, glorious, indefinite feelings of ecstasy;
    how could you see and not believe?

    Share your delight and experience a chaste sensation.
    Unveiled in depth a new manifestation.

    Tell me who am I and how I came to be.
    Have you ever practiced an emotion so worthy?

    Others have cheated, scorned, and escaped from me,
    never getting closer to reveal in my supreme being.

    I have created an aura of great satisfaction.
    Only those who invite me will get stimulation.

    Some are tempted by me, but are afraid to get involved;
    maybe because the desires of their hearts will resolve.

    Yes, I am the emotion that brings lovers together.
    I make their smiles wide, eyes shine, and hearts flutter.

    I am ecstatic when my presence is known.
    To many the secret of my existence is bestowed.

    Who am I? I am sure that you should know.
    These feelings deep inside, the arousal so mellow.

    Do you know my name; you know that I am Love.
    I am that emotion that you are thinking of.

    Now, you know my name!


    I Can't Hear Your Whisper


    Baby, you say that you love me
    But I can't really hear you.
    Because you whisper to me
    the words "I love you."

    The words that I long to know,
    to reflect how you feel about me,
    seems to be unnoticed to my ears.
    That's why I feel you don't love me.

    If you would only show me more
    in your actions and in your touch.
    I would be so very grateful
    to know you care so much.

    I wish I could understand
    those lovely words you say.
    But my hearing is not so good.
    I don't hear your whispers that way.

    Please be patient with me
    and turn my face towards you.
    Move your lips slowly, and
    say the words "I love you!"


    I'm Sorry for the Love That I Gave You


    I'm sorry for the Love that I gave you.
    There is nothing more that I can do for you.

    We reached a time, a time in our lives now.
    There is no turning back the clock now.

    I'm telling you now that we can't go on.
    You called me weak, but I know I'm strong.

    I'm tired of all these years of abuse;
    your punches, slaps, and kicks with your shoes.

    My face was swollen and my eyes were black.
    You're saying you're sorry, I'm taking you back.

    Repeated cycles of abuse all the time.
    Sorry, I can't take any more of your lying.

    At one point in time, I used to love you.
    Spent all my moments making love to you.

    I cleaned, I cooked, and I washed all your clothes.
    Didn't get a "thank you"; instead you broke my nose.

    I'm sorry for the love that I gave you.
    There is nothing more that I can do for you.

    We reached a time, a time in our lives now.
    There is no turning back the clock now.


    Love Personified


    You are the realm of my desires,
    the existence of my morning awakenings.
