I think your signature line is a poem by Rumi. Could be wrong though, but it sounds like one of the stanzas from the Love Poems of Rumi.

Daniel:
Lonely
By Daniel

Lonely
One string vibrates
Silent on its own
Tantalized by thoughts of more

Two strings harmonize
One song, two hearts

Laughter fades in purest joy
Over time and through stunning light
Vexed by hatred's bigotry
Ending never agony's plight
Damned if you do, and damned if you don't

Two songs melt together
On the wide and open plains

Lonely
Only together
Sorrow in their happiness
Taken in brief moments

A gentleness fades in harsh respect
Glumping in the throat
As agony erupts in violence
In extreme pain we now reflect
Now that silence has passed us by

Daniel:
A Sinking Island
by Daniel

Such words were never
More painful than
For me to hear
That you wish you knew how to quit me
Am I so wrong for you?
I've tried, Jack, I've tried so hard
To love you for our brief moments.
But for these you weren't satisfied.
You always wanted more
More than I could give, More than I would dare
Your bright soul danced the heights of sky
But you never looked back
Could you not see that I could
Not go as far as you.
Some inner anchor held me here.
Some genuine terror.
You never saw it, never addressed it.
You just wanted more and more
But I could not give you what you wanted:
Free, unabashed love - because I
Know the darkness and the anguish of the flame
But despite these I have loved you.
In my own special way, making all this
Special time
For us.
Sometimes there's no time to make
Hourglass sands flow through
I cannot catch them, though I want to
And give them over
To you.
But you could not appreciate
Everything I did
Though you knew how much it cost me
And what is left for us.
And yet you turn away from what we have.
It's solid and it's real.
You want so much more than either of us
Can give. You want a dream.
I am no dream, Jack, I'm here and now
But you look off into distant horizons
You see palaces of cloud
You see things that were and things
Which could be, but never things as they are.
I am here, I am solid, I am making
My love known. I make sacrifices every day.
But it is not enough.
You demand more than I can give, because I
Do not have it to give. But I am still here; thats
All I know. Your smile lifts my day, but I
See it less and less.
And now you pull away, you try to distance yourself.
And as you go, supports crash around me
Everything crumbles.
I was here. I was solid, but what am I now?
Without your love, I'm nothing, you are my
Inner soul. How dare you take away from me
What once was grand and special! It has
Sustained me through the years, allowed me
To continue.
I was stable and secure with your love's anchor
But with the anchor gone, I am nowhere.

Daniel:
When hearts proclaim their victory.
by Daniel

When hearts proclaim their victory,
What will be left of land and sea?
Who can tell? Not I. Nor me.

When hearts proclaim their countenance,
How shall we then begin to dance?
And look upon the soul at glance.

When hearts proclaim their wise,
Will we see with more than eyes?
Or be lost within a maze of ice?

When hearts unite the common good,
Will we then know personhood,
Or still desire to spill red blood?

When hearts proclaim their victory.
It will be a mark of history
that changes everyone. You will see!

Not one of my better poems, but I think it is a little nice one.

(I keep modifying this, its like a living piece of art)

Untitled Ode To a Certain Someone
by Daniel

Just as between the stars of space
 A lone planet glows with reflected light
Careening across space and time
 Opening up to some inner rhyme
But never embracing the darkness of night.

Bouncing hopefully, eyebrows raised
 Even to the arch of sky
Nowhere else is there such beauty
 Just as we see why.
A tear, a glisten, an inner attention
 Mirroring the universe nearby.
In hope I seek these miracle eyes
 Nowhere else encountered.

Great in stature and in nature
 You always seem to shine.
Loving, laughing, living, larking
 Leaving everyone behind.
Even I am pulled by subtle strings.
 Never has my heart been mine.
Hoping always for some greater being.
 A love, a life, a laugh so fine.
And in the depths of desert find
 Lakes of water, blue divine.
