Poetry for the Common (Wo)man Douglas Bruffett

I Yearn I yearn to gaze into you eyes, the window of your soul, and see that you agree with me, we make each other whole. I yearn to know your deepest thoughts and everything that?s you. To share my body and my soul in everything we do. I yearn to take you in my arms and draw your lips to mine. To taste the essence of your kiss as our two hearts entwine. I yearn for your surrender as you give your love so free. And know that from this moment on There?ll be no one but me. I yearn to know that you?ll be here with hungry heart aflame, and ache to share our passion, knowing that I feel the same. I yearn to take you to that place where only lovers go, and hear you say ?I love you? even though you know I know. I yearn to wake each day with you the first thing that I see, and know that it will be this way throughout eternity. I yearn to know that you?ll be here to help me on my way, and that I?ll take my final breath in loving arms one day.
