Love Poem: Falling

Falling

When I look into your eyes
I feel a deep sense of surprise
At the willingness of this tattered heart
That for so long would have no part
In wanting eyes and loving thoughts
For fear of the hurt these feelings brought

When I lay within your arms
That appear to mean me no harm
I often think and sometimes wonder
How I could get so lucky to feel the thunder
A feeling of warmth and total bliss 
Begins to surround me as we kiss

When I'm standing along by your side
The feelings are so over whelming I cannot hide
Behind the mask of strong and tough
No longer will the mask even be enough
To overcome the bond so quickly felt
As I look at you and simply melt

When I sit down with my thoughts tonite
I think to myself that I must begin to write
And I move the pen attempting to create the perfect rhyme
That could begin to describe my feelings at this time
The feelings you so elegantly recalled
From within the depths of these four walls
