Love for the Holidays

Love the holiday
Love the season
Love the fact
That you're the reason
Like every other day

Love your heart
Love your flow
Your smile lights up my Christmas
Don't you know

Season's greetings
And blessings too
I get the gift of love
Courtesy of you

YOU TURN ME ON

You turn me on

Like a light switch

It’s just that easy

Like you’re bewitched

I wish it were that easy

You are foreplay

In more than on way

You turn me on

Like chocolate does my ice cream

Like Pam Grier does in my dream

Too bad for her you’re real

Because she can’t compete

With a real touch, sensory and seduction

You just turn me on

Who gave you my step by step instructions?

You figured me out

Like a 2 piece jig saw puzzle

Yeah just like that

Why waste time with two

It’s like one snap; I approve

You turn me on

Like lies to politicians

Tricks to magicians

Hesitation; poof be gone ‘cause

She turns me on

And I can’t overheat like the engine in my first car

Thermostat set to passion

So much love for the long haul

With you my engine never stalls; or runs idle

I get more love to the gallon than a hybrid love affair

You turn me on

And for you it’s no work

Like a Rubik’s cube with one color

Like multiple choice questions with one answer

You’re the dancer and I’m the song

Together we’re in love

All night long, all night

All night; all night

Morning is mad at you

Making this night last longer than a day

Knowing he will do the same damn thing

Once he sees his sunrise

And the daybreak of love’s eyes

You turn me on and now the switch is broke

So…

It will have to stay that way

Oh well…

Morning Love

Her smile awakes me
While her eyes are yet closed
Slowly…they join the morning
To complete my breakfast of tenderness in bed

She turns slightly, slowly to invite me
To christen the morning
It may be cold outside
But she’s my global warming

And as we awake
I say good morning love
I am her coffee and she is my cream
Good morning love
Unfortunately we have awaken from our dream
And I have to get to work
But can you RSVP
This spot in your bed
And I’ll keep the memory
Like a photograph in my head
Until we get back to this place
Lock the doors and reclaim our space
Like chalk outlines the scene of the crime
Scattered covers and tossed pillows are etched in my mind

Can we pick up where we left off?
Get right back & tell time to step off
Turn off the phone, and say all bets off
When we get home?
I want season tickets, to your bed
And can I get a parking pass too
I love tailgate parties with you
Because no one shows up but us
We play the game, and we always win
We have no crowd but we’re always sold out
To love…morning love

And I can’t wait to get there
And every red light don’t seem fair
Traffic jams just don’t care
That I’m trying to get to you
And wrong turns won’t get me
I’ll make road rage forget me
Cause all I can see
Is you and morning love

Now that I’m home
And you’re on me like cologne
And I touch you like numbers on my phone
Where were we?
Oh yeah, morning love

I NEED SOME MORE TIME WITH YOU

I need some more time with you

That’s what she said

I wanted more time with her

But she’s always one step ahead

I want the clock to take a ride

Get lost in time

So she can have all she wants

I honestly, just don’t mind

She makes the world a perfect canvas

Every color bright and surreal

Captures my emotions in high definition

Gives me her energy to feel

I need some more time with you

I opened the door wide to that thought

From heaven to earth is available

And in the moment we can get completely lost

She can make a speeding bullet freeze

Lift a beggar off his knees

Put slow motion in gear

Make conversation by blowing in my ear

If she needs more time with me

The world is out of tune

I know once we’re together

The planets will be aligned with the moon

The stars will take their rightful place

The inner will enter outer space

The galaxy will pose

 Mars and Venus will come together and let it flow

I need some more time with you

I’ve never heard that before

And she probably doesn’t realize it

She is poetic; my ear to hear, my sounding board

You can have more time with me

You can have my ink and my pen

If you will be my paper

Then the story can begin

EYES ON YOU

I have never seen or met you but…

I laid eyes on your words as if it were your body

I caressed every adjective and verb

Kissed your nouns until I became a pro-noun

I now desire to be a sentence that grows into a paragraph

A paragraph that ultimately becomes a page

 THAT page that becomes THE page in your love story

Over time I hope to be your only book

And you can pick me up and read me all over…

Again and again

I want you to turn my pages, turning me on

Take your finger and touch my every word

As you read about how much I love you

And want you

If its’ good go back and touch me again

Finding words and meanings that stayed hidden until the next time you read me

I have never seen or met you but…

I laid eyes on your words as if it were your body

I stared at the beauty of the thought that went from line one

To the last line done.

How can I feel you? Feel your touch?

How can I want you so much?

It’s because I felt the proposition in your preposition

I mean the way it was positioned on the page

Like its own language, a special set of words

I read between your…lines

Pulled the book closer

To get a better look

And the fragrance of your thoughts jumped off the page

A vernacular aroma lasted me for days and

A scent of what’s to come

Gives me a feeling you might be the one

But I need to keep reading

To find out if what I believe

Is the ending

With a period.

Or to be continued

But until then I will kiss your vowels

Until you tell me stop, throw in the towel

A; I O U that don’t I?

I want us to become consonant

In agreement

Make love heaven sent

Use all our words until we’re spent

Lose our breath cause we meant to…

Because I read between your lines

After I laid eyes on your words and determined

You’re so fine

To be continued…

LOVE IS A FOR LETTER WORD

For if I love you there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Nothing that’s impossible or nothing left to prove

If I love you for whom you are
Then you don’t need to change 
And I don’t need to change you

Love is for lovers
For two people willing to give without keeping score
To give for the sake of giving
Simply because love is meant to let go of

Love is a for letter word
Freely
Openly
Repeatedly
I will love

And if there comes a time 
That this love finds your door closed
I will search for another
And repeat 
Because I know what love is for
To share…

I’M IN HEAVEN

I realized it wasn’t a dream

But the stars were perfectly aligned

Because every fantasy I thought of

Was already on your mind

And I didn’t want for nothing

And there was nothing you wouldn’t do

I realized I’m in heaven

Anytime I’m lying next to you

I saw the sun winking at me

As it gave way to the night

And the moon came up smiling

Providing us with nothing but the perfect light

The gentle breeze was like a serenade

And it sounded like a song

The way we feel together

 Should be call all night long

And I don’t want for nothing

And there’s nothing you wouldn’t do

‘Cause I realized I’m in heaven

Anytime I’m lying next to you

So let the angels harmonize

And Gabriel blow his horn

As we celebrate the special day

Our perfect love was born

Flowers stand in bloom

And even the waters are standing still

Mother Nature spoke out loud

I love the way this feels!

It’s a love meant for a lifetime

Given to us to share

I know for sure I’m in heaven

As long as you are there

ONE THOUSAND RAINDROPS

Since you’ve been gone
Life is just an if
You were my every thing
Now you’re the only thing I miss

Bored is my destination
My journey has no end
Not only have I lost my lover
I’ve also lost my friend

How could today be so different
I feel like yesterday never came
Its like I went from love
To love without you…and

If I counted one thousand raindrops
It wouldn’t kill enough time
To get over the pain
Or get you off my mind

And if I saw one thousand sunrises
It wouldn’t stop the fact
I want to cry out loud
That I miss you more than that

Now I can’t explain it
Because no one really cares
Everyone has their problems
And they don’t need a spare

So I look in every direction
Hoping an answer will come
To help me go from being solo
To us being back at one

How could today be so different
I feel like yesterday never came
Its like I went from love
To love without you…and

If I counted one thousand phone calls
You never returned
I would still make one more phone call
To try and get one more turn

And if I saw one thousand signs
No matter what they say
They would signal I need you here
Right now right away

If I counted one thousand raindrops
It wouldn’t kill enough time
To get over the pain
Or get you off my mind

...one thousand one, one thousand two
I'll keep counting raindrops  until I'm back with you

ALL OF YOU

There are days that seem so perfect

When everything’s aligned

And other days not so hot

That just seem to blow your mind

And then there are days when all is just

One mixed up crazy mess

And days when you can do no wrong

When you’re at you’re very best

It really doesn’t matter though

However it goes down

You have to know the spirit

What causes the smile vs. the frown

I accept you for who you are

And it’s very easy to me

Because you accept me faults and all

Even the one you cannot see

So while we may have moments

When neither is at their best

I look at all of what we’ve got

And how much together we’ve been blessed

I felt compelled right away

To let you know this truth

That no matter who you think you are

I accept and want all of you

IN AND OUT OF LOVE

Can you fall in and out of love?
Or just be mad
Can you wish for something special?
And still appreciate what you have

Are you sitting on the fence
Waiting for a perfect mate
Halfway committed
Not realizing you’re the mistake

You can’t go in and out of love
Like you’re at a grocery store
Always shopping for a bargain
When its you who should be giving more

You can’t go in and out of love
Like malls and other stores
One day you may realize
You’re not being loved anymore

‘Cause in and out is good; where appropriate and needed
But not in commitment, where sadly it’s often repeated
Therein lies the mistake
That so many seem to make
Going in and out of love
Will ultimately seal your fate

If you’re out and they’re in
And they’re in and you’re out
Then who’s fighting for love
Fighting for the “us”

So throw out, out
And invite in, in
Love each other stronger and longer
In the 2010
And beyond…

Happy New Year!

FOR JUST ONE DAY

I got the news; and yes I cried
To be without you, I’m the one who would die
I can’t imagine being anywhere else
And I pray LORD: don’t take away this feeling I’ve felt

But if you must take her, I kinda’ understand
But what do I do? I love being her man

It’s like I’ll be unemployed
In love, but out of work
I’d do anything for her
But I couldn’t figure out how to stop the hurt

So let me marry her for just one day
I would be in heaven and then she could be on her way
And that memory could last me the rest of my life
For just one day LORD, let her be my wife

Oh it would be beautiful
No matter what we did
And even if it was nothing
Nothing would be better than this

She is my dream come true
My sunshine and more
We are the perfect movie
And our love the perfect score

But life is cruel sometime
And I know this to be true
I don’t want to live without her
But I love that she’s coming to you

But until that moment in time
There’s only one thing I have to say
LORD leave her here long enough
To be my wife…for just one day

A FLOWER

She’s a flower yet to be defined
Revealed only to find, she’s one of a kind
Fragrance takes away the blues, grays and things
The power of her scent takes me away
But I can’t share the address

From the soil of love she was planted
Happiness rained down on her
Fertilizing her future growth
And mine too

I never saw her sprout petals of promise
Or stems of strength
Too busy looking for her
Anywhere but the Secret Garden she resided in
Then HE stepped in and said look
It didn’t take but a second and not a second look
I was hooked and now
I’m in love with her too

A gift in the form of a promise
A promise in the form of you
You in the form of love
And love in the form of loving…US

A flower yet to be defined
But until then
This flower is mine

AS SNOW FLAKES FALL

As snow flakes fall
I rise to the occasion
Making my way to the place
Called Loveland…next to you

For every snow flake that falls
I have twice as many reasons why I love you
And when they say every snow flake is different
It reminds me that you are too

No one loves like you
Cares like you
Gives like you and
Tries like you

You are the U in US
And I am the beneficiary
Your love is the return on my investment of common sense
In knowing you were the one

You are my winter wonderland
And I am your frosty the snowman
And I love it when you melt me away with love…

As snowflakes fall
I’m reminded of your warmth
And the fireplace called your heart
I know it burns with love
I rub my hands together in front of you
And the cold reality of this world is gone

As snowflakes fall…
They remind me the weather is always perfect in love

C2010 Wayne Box Miller

I SIGHT

My heart uses my eyes to see your beauty
The report is flawless
Not in a physical sense
But it makes no sense that your beauty transcends
Time, talent, and
It’s positioned for a takeover of the heart

My heart uses my hands to caress every detail
That goes beyond the smell of a garden, of white roses and
Birds of paradise, hmmm smells so nice
Nerve endings rushing back telling me
Feel this; and this; AND this
I tell my hands to cross their fingers
And send the message back to keep it coming

I want my eyes to use flicker
Get the photos back quicker
Take pictures faster than the speed of light
I can never be overexposed to you

My heart uses my mouth
To tell you how I feel
To express thoughts
That matches the rhythm of every beat
Flow is apparent, feelings transparent
Nothing to hide

My heart uses itself to pump life and love into my body
And that sets the course for us to stay on
In love; On Star, turn by turn
Falling in love just ahead
Haters take the next detour

ENJOY

If we've decided 
We can't be divided
Then 2 will permanently be 1

If we’ve agreed 
We’re all we both need 
Case closed baby, we’re done  

There are no more decisions
Its either us or division 
And since I wasn’t good in math 
Let’s keep our love under wraps  
We’ve passed simple addition 
No subtraction or attrition needed 
The answer has been completed 
And that’s the final exam  
Because we have stood the test of time 
And it’s a grade A love, 100% pure 
Nothing artificial 
it’s preserve-able  
And full of preservatives 
All the daily allowances of romance 
Complete with vitamin L, O, V & E 

Take 2 and call me tonight and in the morning 
Wake me up without warning 
I like it that way I’ll act surprised if you act…quickly  
Then I can watch you sleep 
Like the world has turned the lights out 
Because you’ve gone to bed… I mean sleep 
As you lay there I call your position perfect peace 
At least from where I lay and that’s okay because 
There’s only one VIP, one box seat, one front row 
I own all those… 

As sure as I stand 
And I AM your man 
And you ARE my lady 
And have been more than lately Like all the time, and you’re on time 
I set my watch to your heart beats of love
Kiss hug; tick tock; kiss hug; tick tock 
Kiss hug; tick tock;  
And it don’t stop 
Goes well beyond the break of dawn 
Well into next week  
Never off always on…to the next act 
Epilogue got evicted 
So the end is nowhere in sight 
But it did send us a post card 
With the word, enjoy… With that  
Each Night Justifies Our Yearning

UNTITLED III

…So I decided to peel back the layers of my heart
I found broken pieces and residues of scars
Found dusty memories of days gone by…
Saw some loves in my past that had me laughing, asking why

Dug a little deeper and examined even more
Found a love unscathed, deep in my core
This is the love I have saved for so long
I give it to you, so I can now carry on

I check my pulse and all systems are go!
And my vitals say its love, so let if flow
So I’m pumpin’ love like blood with thoughts rushing straight to my brain
And I swear I’ve never loved like this and I’ll never do it again

Yes I said that before
And the scars bear the facts
But I have never had you before
Had someone love me right back
With out hesitation, delay or with doubt
I guess that’s the start of love as its turning you out
But it feels good turning
Better than I could have dreamed
I mean just what I’m dreaming
Is simultaneously happening to me

So when I awake its like I’m dreaming and
When I’m dreaming its like I’m awake
So either way it goes I’m living in a dream and dreaming how I live
Like a you tube video I just start it over and over and over and, hold while I watch this...

And the ending is mine so I tweet, digg, mash, blog, email and even write about it
Just in case someone knows, or wants to know: what’s love got to do with it…

Everything!

MY LAST BREATH…

I wanna’ grow old with you

Take my last breath with you

I know that means our laughter will turn into giggles

And saying I love you will take a little longer

But as long as I’m with you

That’s all that matters

I want to sit on a porch with you

And watch new versions of us walk by

Holding hands and loving each other

While we reminisce and predict

I want to have all my mental

And talk dirty to you when I’m 80

And have you blush at 80

And have you say quitttt at 80

When I rub your leg

My last breath is yours

If it means me living and you not

I will flip the script

You can live off our memories

I don’t know;

Maybe you’ll want to go with me

‘Cause our love is just that deep

I want to help you get up

And let you help me get down

And help each other get around

When we’re 85

I want to look at

Videos of us,

DVD’s of us

And smile….

I want to look at photo albums of us

Turn the page and talk about that night when…

And sigh;

And long for those days

And embrace these days

And thank GOD for each other

At 90

Can I still call you sexy?

I am anyway

If I can get my hand up

I’ll pat your backside at 95

But I just want to be with you

Until my last breath

Because no one on earth

Has loved me like you

And you deserve my last breath…

But I’m not gone yet beautiful

My Dream

My dream is the mountain I climb

I scale doubt and optimism on the way to the top

Trying on the way up to get a grip on faith, hope and

chance is a ledge I try to step up on

My dream is the mountain so high

Atop my life

I have no rope; I have no spikes

I have me and ambition

And a t-shirt with courage on it

Sweat tells my brow

keep going you’re making progress

but my exhaustion says otherwise

but I say that’s another lie

to get me to stop

My shoes have no sole or no soul

But I do…

And my spirit lives there

With its GPS attitude

Step here; grip there hold here;

destination 3 beliefs ahead

My dream is now my reality

Set my sights; I have it in front of me

The mountain now seems like stairs

I’ll take each step and breathe opportunities air

My dream is the mountain I’ve climbed

And I love the view

Love the journey

The holes in my shoes

It was worth the climb

Worth the risk

Now climb your own mountain

No matter what it is…

JUST A THOUGHT

I think I love you too much
But I’ll keep doing it
I think I can’t live without you
And I don’t want to try

I think you’re reading this
Thinking about who fits this profile in your life;
Or who used to; or who you want to
But your hangups may hang you out to dry

Misery loves company
Tell em’ both goodbye
And be in love

Love is the eternal classroom
Where A’s turn into: what happened to my grade?
Where F is still a failing grade and word
And make-up exams bring smiles… and I’m sorry’s
And exhaustion; and a cigarette if you smoke

Love never reveals itself all at once
But in parts, pieces, clues, changing like a chameleon
Just did it again
So hold someone’s hand in love
So when love changes its mind
You won’t

C2009 Wayne Box Miller

ADOPT MY HEART

I’m looking for a home for my heart

A place it can beat, feel complete

I want my heart to have a loving home

Safe and protected and never alone

Can you adopt my heart?

I mean I don’t have to leave

But every time you walk away…

My heart can barely breathe

My heart cries out

I wanna’ go with her!

Although you don’t know it

I can hear every word

And each time I have to explain

That I need you, heart, to live

My heart says why can’t I be with her

And I say that’s just the way it is

So it stops beating fast

At the thought of the news

Feeling sad, sending messages to me

Like it has the blues

Can you adopt my heart?

I mean you’re pre-qualified

And I saw how much love you give

Looking deep in-your-side

You don’t have to sign any papers

I don’t need a background check

My heart has its own criteria

And yes you fit it best

He can go right now

I know he’ll be treated right

And maybe for the first time in a while

We’ll both sleep well tonight because

If my heart has a home

And it’s at your address

It means I’ve found love..

Found love at its best

So will you adopt my heart?

Just look at that smile

Listen to it beating…beating

With the innocence of a child

Just adopt my heart

I’ll gift wrap it with a hug

And the card will simply say

Signed from me to you; the only one I love
