I WANT LOVE

 I want love

Deeper than the ocean’s floor

The kind that won’t let you breathe

Until you hear from her

Until you hear from him

Until you hear, we’re still in love today

I traded in oxygen for your breath

Breathing on me

And I learned the alphabet of love

Y O U

Is all is need to know

I want love

The end of the movie kind

Where all the problems are gone

And the only thing left is love

And the kiss, while they roll the credits

Fade to black

Go to bed

Let’s make love ‘til we’re dead

Tired

I want love

The obvious kind

Where you read my mind

And our heats beat in sentences

And we speak fluently with our eyes

And our body’s language is easy to interpret

I want love

Love that makes people in love

Realize they’re not really in love

But maybe lust or a latter version of love

 1.0

We’re version 5.0

With automatic updates

Virus free; and hater protection software

And it’s too big to fit on a flash drive

I want love

The kind that wakes you up

With love on your mind

And your picture taped to my heart

And there is no wrong side of the bed

If you’re in it

I want love

That stands the test of time

The kind leaves you blind

The one that blows your mind

Yes that’s hard to find

Always looking ahead never behind

Woven into a beautiful design

A tapestry of you-n-me

More powerful than we could believe

Oh say can you see

I want love

And that means…

I want you

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
