Poetry: Why I love you

Why do I love you,
My brother?

Your smile - forever so sweet
Lingers in my memories
Your face, so full of peace
In the midst of a world of war.

Why do I love you,
My brother?

Your temper, or lack of it
So unlike the men I have known before
Nothing will ruffle your spirit
Nothing naughty will leave your jaw.

Why do I love you,
My brother?

You showed me I have a choice
To love or to hate
You showed me it is possible
To choose love and not hate.

Why do I love you,
My brother?

There is peace in you
That many envy
That many yearn for
But can never achieve.

Why do I love you,
My brother?

There is only love for me
Love of the purest nature
Not lust, nor jealousy
No selfish theme.

Why do I love you,
My brother?

Though of different parents
And of opposing religions
You chose to call me sister
And treat me as one so dear.

That is why I love you
My brother so dear
For you showed me true love
That only Jesus can give.

    Two souls yours and mine,

    Do a dance and intertwined,

    One glance,

    One touch,

    One kiss,

    One look,

    Oh, god baby that's all it took,

    Your

    Sleeping Love

    We can lay in bed together

    Just listening to each other breathe

    Nothing in the background

    Just darkness with slumber

    Murmur
    Sweet words
    Mean nothing;
    Forever,
    Always
    Good pain,
    Always
    Been the same.

    I feel you
    Growin closer,
    I feel you
    Holding out.

    How can love really be defined?
    Is it controlled by your very own mind?
    What creates this feeling inside?
    From where does it
