I’ve Been Thinking ‘Bout You



I’ve been thinking ‘bout you
And the privilege I’ve been given
For the time you spend with me
To pause the lonely life I’d been living

I feel the pull
You have on me
A profound attraction
 My heart responds gladly  

You’re more beautiful
Than roses in full bloom
With a warm smile
To brighten the darkest of rooms

When I look at you
It’s Heaven in your eyes
I’m bathed in the glory of you
Like the morning sunrise

As a magnet pulls
My hand wants to reach for you
To hold you in my arms
Knowing you feel the pull too

As you softly speak
I crave the sound of your voice
And when you say my name
You’ll feel my heart rejoice

I just wanted you to know
In case you’ve noticed it too
The world seems a happier place
Cause I’ve been thinking ‘bout you

DanceOfThePoet'sPen

Guess you could say I'm a self taught poet. I started writing poetry as a means of dealing with the emotions of finding my Birthmother's obituary and grave site after searching for 10 years. I continued writing and over the course of the last 20 years I've become comfortable in how I write. You'll notice I tend to write a lot about nostalgia and old memories. Hey, when you round the corner of 60 years, you start thinking a lot about the past and where you've been. One of my subjects I write about is love, but I try to write of other things too. I've lived on the south shore of Massachusetts for all of my 64 years. But I love all of New England. Aside from writing poetry, I also love photography and have quite a collection of old antique cameras. Baseball, football, muscle cars and car shows are also some of my interests. Not too crazy about Winter. Spring & Summer are my favorite seasons. more…
