Poetry for the Common (Wo)man Douglas Bruffett

I YearnI 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 thoughtsand everything that's you. To share my body and my soulin everything we do. I yearn to take you in my armsand draw your lips to mine. To taste the essence of your kissas our two hearts entwine. I yearn for your surrenderas you give your love so free. And know that from this moment onThere'll be no one but me. I yearn to know that you'll be herewith hungry heart aflame,and ache to share our passion,knowing that I feel the same. I yearn to take you to that placewhere only lovers go,and hear you say "I love you"even though you know I know. I yearn to wake each day with youthe first thing that I see,and know that it will be this waythroughout eternity. I yearn to know that you'll be hereto help me on my way,and that I'll take my final breathin loving arms one day.
