Barbie & Ken: 101



Superficial Glamour
Rafael Casal - 'Barbie and Ken: 101'

Love, Trust, Respect, and Communication



These I Can Promise:

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart's devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that's ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

Man, I'm gonna miss the sandwiches and guidance on life.
You'll always be missed.

Something SO Beautiful.
I've been working on this one for a while.





You came into my life

A sweet, forbidden fragrance

So delicate…so precious…so beautiful

I could not help myself

A penetrating gaze

Words so soothing

Emotions so refined and free

I saw my heart's reflection in your soul

And quivered with doubt

Could I not fall in love with you?

I could not help myself

Drawn to you

Consumed by your spirit

War tore through my being

Hiding from my own emotions

My feelings for you

Attempts to express or even comprehend

Paled in comparison to your relentless beauty

I loved you…but could I ever reveal my feelings

To you and to myself?

The truth was revealed and secrets were released

How could you feel as I?

For so long my heart ached to know you

Understand you

Comfort you

Hold you

I could not help myself

For so long I grasped the freedom to make you laugh

Not realizing that your smile was so contagious

For so long I kept you upon a pedestal

Out of reach...unobtainable...forbidden

I could not help myself

Everything about you captivated me…

The life and excitement that radiates from your smile

The dramatic flare and peaceful serenity of your eyes

The confidant stride that brings your exquisiteness to all

The unending, unrelenting creative ocean that is within you

I could not help myself – I fell in love with you

The moments we shared are beyond words

Beyond comprehension…understanding...love

You opened your heart

Unguarded...vulnerable...understanding

You shared your life...

My heart listened with blind intent

Every story…every moment...every precious jewel

Your honesty moved me to tears

I could feel myself...yearning for more

You allowed me to taste your heart, body and soul

I thought love knew me and I it

But you brought me within love

My very veins began to burn with such passion

I could not help myself – I cooled my body in your soul's waters

Tales of love and passion have been foreign to me

They have seem so fictional

My heart ached for you – yearned for you – cried out for you

You are more than a kindred spirit as I once labeled you

Words cannot express the love I feel for you

My heart is engulfed in emotion and my soul is consumed

In flames of intense adoration for you

You – the deepest inspiration I have ever experienced

You – the purest heart I have ever tasted

You – the most gorgeous piece of art God has created

I feel as though I may never be completely whole

Without you in my life

My heart rejoices at your embracing it

My soul recalls every refreshing kiss...I savor

Every heartfelt word...I hinge on

Every enchanting fragrance...I fully inhale

Every beautiful image of you...I relish

These images are permanently engraved

I want to make poetry with you

Poetry that knows no boundaries or limits

Poetry that flows as the mightiest river

Poetry that rushes as the sweetest wind

Poetry that screams the purest love

Poetry that whispers enticing tales

If I never receive the blessing of this scribing

The sonnets that you have performed with me

Are so priceless...so precious...so intricate

Life has new meaning since you soared within

Our relationship has a new chapter –

One that I cannot put down and must read

Every last word, syllable, breath

I thirst for more

Hold this true – I will always love you

You have given me so many gifts

I never knew someone could express such love

And share it with me

Your gifts are not given in vane

I am overwhelmed and so blessed

My heart wishes to entangle with your soul
Completely and totally enveloped by your passion

You love with every inch of that which God created
You have freely given love to me

I have accepted and will cradled it forever
The love we share I have tried to express in this creation

I pray my scribing has captured but some of its being
For now, I yearn to know more of you – to love more of you

I dream of the day – a day that my heart holds dearest
When I can love you – as you deserve to be loved

...Forever quenched by your refreshed waters...
