THE TRUTH!

2012-01-12T22:17:00.000-05:00

Like my heart, my arms are empty

Left only to wipe across my chest

A message of love, a special gesture

For the one that knows me best

I don’t know that she’ll ever trust me

And that haunts me all of my days

I don’t know how to let her look inside

To see doing it now would be okay

So I write, I dream, I beg in between

For a chance to have the touch

From the only one that lets me know

It gets no better than us

But timing be damned

And mistakes a few

Have cost me what I need it’s true

The mistakes are mine

And I have confessed

But the price I pay is nothing

Compared to the emptiness and regret

But if I can just get one moment

I will make it last so long

In my heart and mind for a lifetime

Because her love is just that strong

But I don’t know how to tell her

Or convince her just one time

To let me touch her beautifulness

Like I do in the hallways of my mind

Even right now I can feel her kiss

Our passion ignited the source of bliss

Her openness and giving all of self

My trying to do likewise

Caring about nothing else

Time is lost, and so are we

Together when we are one

I don’t hold back and neither does she

Not until we’re done

But I miss her more

than words on this page

I think about her everyday

So until then

I’ll cast these thoughts to the sky

In hopes that she will try…

To find me one last chance

To love her

THE POWER OF LOVE is coming soon!

First let me thank you for those who have been following me and my writing. A labor of love is exactly what it is and finding the time to write seems to get harder these days.

But I am happy to say we have finished the final edits on the second book of poetry, "The Power of Love" and features love exercises that are easy use and share.

So stay tuned we will let you know the release date and give you access to early purchases and signed copies.

I appreciate you and look forward to sharing more of my work in '12!

Goodnight...

2011-12-08T09:45:00.001-05:00

Sleep is prison, devoid of vision
Like my photograph is stolen
A missing Kodak of you
Recovered when i awake to see
You have not changed

As lovely as I remember
when the night deceived me
into doing without you

But dawn is a flashlight, you are the spotlight
Good morning is now appropriate
with you in plain view
Picture perfect...

DROWNING IN LOVE

2011-09-02T00:34:00.001-04:00

Splash!

Ankle high
The water is fine
Sampling your love
I think I like this kind

Knee high
I’m trying to see how deep is your love
And how much is for me
And is there enough

Taste high
Let love run through my hands
Refresh my thoughts
Respond to my commands

Waist high
I’m surrounded by love on all sides
I think I’ll swim out to see
See if I survive

Breast high
I have found, a bosom of pleasure
But are you willing to offer
All of your hidden treasures

Neck high
I feel a strong wave coming on
Too late to turn back
In love I think I’m gone

Lips high, how are you
I would love to stay
I love your words
What and how you say

Eye high, I see you
And I know this is real
I am now drowning in your love
So lets seal the deal

By diving head first
Into a lovers paradise
The thought is so exhilarating
I want to stay here for life and
Ride this wave…

REMINISCE

2011-08-15T08:23:00.000-04:00

I want to reminisce

But I need more memories

Don’t get me wrong

I’m talking about the kind with you and me

So lets do some new things

We’ve never done before

I got some ideas waiting

And yes they include yours

Lets see what happens

When we meet up on the moon

We’ll get there climbing stars

And once we do, lets not leave too soon

Lets count all the lovers

Passing by in the sky

And pray for the lonely ones

Who want love to stop by

Once we leave there

Lets dive into love

An ocean full of happiness

Made just for us

Next we’ll swim to a shore

Near a city of paradise

Lay on the beach of passion

With some wine chilled just right

But lets keep making memories

No need to even count

Lets enjoy reminiscing

That’s what this is all about

But no we’re not done

So lets make room for some more

Like a romantic dinner

Of fine dining on the floor

And we’ll let the music play

While I read the perfect words

To an audience of you

Saying things you’ve never heard

And beyond lies a bed of 1000 roses

Next to a chocolate bubble bath

With curtains made of steam

And mirrored messages on the glass

I’ll reach up for the light switch

To turn out the night

We’re now passengers boarding a Love plane

Ready to take a champagne fantasy flight

And while this plane is flying

I’ll take you on a trip

Of mental elevation

To a planet called pure bliss

So let the memories keep building

One, by one, by one

Because if a day comes we can’t make memories

To look back will be some kind of fun

But in the meantime lets make some more…

Like a picnic in the park

In the middle of the night

Serenaded by the sounds of nature

With the moon as our candlelight

To be continued…

SANCTUARY

2011-07-02T17:01:00.000-04:00

Sanctuary where are you?
I need to lay my burdens down
And my head in your lap

I need relief from even myself at times
And you are the only remedy
Made for me

Free from judgment
And the only thing you’ve been convicted of is pleasure

A sanctuary I can’t find
I don’t own one
And life owns me because of your absence
I can visualize you
See your peace of mind
In this piece of mine
But I am broken without you

But at least I can function
With duct tape on my aura
But I hope by tomorrow
We become one

Sanctuary
I heard your nickname was utopia
Free from myopia
But I’m not at times
I heard you are cool water
Gentle breezes
Subtle sunshine
Whipped cream on dreams
A glass of Crown
A heavenly bed
Convertible car
Shining star

The perfect mate
A perfect date
A home cooked meal
A pen that feels
Words that soothe
Music that grooves
Love uninhibited
Love unlimited

Walks on the beach
Juicy as a Georgia peach
But alas, out of my reach
But I need your cascading waterfall of affection

And I just want to spend some time with you Sanctuary
On a regular basis
And I won’t tell anyone…and I heard you never do

Sanctuary can you call me
Find me
Touch me
I need you in more ways than one
But I just need one
Sanctuary in my life
A place to dwell
Not to yell
But to whisper loudly
Sanctuary…
You’ll be my haven on earth

U Turn

2011-06-21T07:40:00.000-04:00

I’m looking at my future

In the rear view mirror

I can’t turn around

And it’s fading away

I want to start over

But you won’t let me

Lets turn this love around

Starting today

FALLEN ANGEL

2011-06-01T22:56:00.000-04:00

She whispers I love you with every breath

Spares nothing, gives until nothings left

She’s my fallen angel, sent here on loan

She has a new address; my heart is her home

I will keep her occupied until her time comes

I will commit to her because she is the one

She has committed to me well beyond measure

My fallen angel is my lover, my heart’s treasure

And I could never explain how she arrived

It’s as if I awoke, and she was by my side

From that very first time our eyes locked in a kiss

I felt: heaven must be like this

Or closer than right now

And I am telling you what you should desire

A woman who loves you, ignites your fire

Makes you want to stay awake, never go to sleep

But when you do, she’s the only dream you seek

A fallen angel, a love beyond words

More than I hoped for, better than I deserve

But I will enjoy her, until she is called home

A gift-wrapped lover, the best I’ve ever known

I used to close my eyes and dream every night

For someone like her to come into my life

But when she appeared it was much more than that

More than I imagined, an indisputable fact

But alas her time has come

And she has gone from me

And I am not even angry

For I do believe

My fallen angel is waiting for me to come

My heart is packed, but my work isn’t done

But as soon as I’m finished, there will be no delay

I can’t wait to see you angel…I’m on my way

I WANT LOVE

2011-04-21T21:52:00.000-04:00

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

2011-04-08T16:16:00.001-04:00

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

RED LIPS STICK

2011-03-29T12:48:00.000-04:00

Her red lips stick in my mind

I can’t escape the thoughts called what if

I can’t run from the fantasy of touch

And I have to embrace the fact I have followed through

To see what the end was like in my move-me

Her red lips stick in my mind

Stuck on telling temptations of consent

To let them explore my thoughts and my body

And my lips too

A taste awaits the touching of 4 of a kind; two pair

No room to spare conversation

Let lips talk

Tongues mediate and hold on…

I’m translating a range of motion

Range of feelings

A rising confirmation that heat is on high alert

And I’m signed up for the what’s next class

That starts right now

And the only requirement is to study lips

And take test with lips

Do research with lips

Go deep with lips

Until I get my L I Phd

Sealed with a kiss and red seal of satisfaction

I wasn’t trying to write this

Or even say it out loud

But when I saw her red lips

My ever present bully, lust,

Moved me out of the way and said

Imagine. Now. Do it

As I fell prey to the only weakness

That dominates me; ME

But I am blaming it on her red lips

That stuck in my mind

Stuck on my mind

Because I want to get stuck with hers

Even if it’s only for a moment

Just to put lips and taste together

And see if it equals the satisfaction advertised

When her lips caught my eyes

WHAT IF

2011-03-10T11:27:00.000-05:00

I told you stars are overshadowed by you?
Excitement is a fan of yours
Victory roots for you
And I do too

What if I told you?
I made reservations for you
In my heart with 24 hour access
That gets accessed 24 times a day

And what if
You found out
You’re not the center of my universe
You are my universe
And I’m in orbit
Like planet solo
I have rings like Saturn
Called possibilities
Of you and I distant from the world
But closer than a milky way
In the hand of a kid

With sweet love, like berries ripened
From the vine of ready or not
Under the summers sun
Cooled by the evening moon
To taste just right
In our own little world
Spinning on ask this; Tell that
Share drives; Love’s alive
In the eye of lovers
Without a cloud of doubt

What if…if what you just heard
Struck a nerve
And the if turned to you and said
I need to leave…
Goodbye what if?
Go be someone else’s possibility
While I introduce her to definitely

I GOT LOVE FOR YOU

2011-02-14T22:55:00.002-05:00

You’ve had my heart from the day we met

And the confirmation I’ll never forget

My heart skipped a beat

And then sped up quick

Then you looked at me

And I became love sick

And I didn’t need a doctor

Because you had the cure

And after you kissed me

I knew for sure

You had my heart

Here’s the lock and key

And you can lock me down

And have your way with me

And you can access my love

From everywhere

Remote control my heart

Let me know when its time to share

I got love for you

Like no one else

I got feelings for you

And I don’t need any help

Expressing how I feel

Meaning what I say

Giving you love

Every Valentines Day

I got love, so much love

And this is the truth

Before Michelle loved Barack

I was already loving you

And no matter what tomorrow brings

I will love you through it all

Our love has only one season

Just combine winter spring summer and fall

I got love for you

Like Romeo and Juliet

Like lovers in the hood with no regrets

Like orange juice and champagne

Its one of a kind

I got love for you

For the rest of my life

I got love for you

Had it before I was born

Now I know what was stirring in me

Was a love for you, being formed

I got love for you

And you don’t need to doubt

I’d be more worried about freedom

Cause this love has been turned out

My heart is big enough to share

Strong enough to care

Weak enough to hurt

And home of the best love on earth

‘cause I got love for you!

I CAN SEE

2011-01-18T19:18:00.001-05:00

I see beauty in the ugliest of places

See fulfillment in the emptiest of spaces

See opportunity to love in darkened thoughts

But I can’t see why love has to be bought

I can see the sunshine in rainy skies

See love’s potential in doubters’ eyes

I can see fullness in empty tanks

But I can’t see shallow in love, I just can’t

So love for real and let the fear subside

Yeah there is pain, but let it ride

And once you’re beyond the initial hurt

You’ll enjoy the love, understand how much its worth

I can see clarity where drama once lived

And I can see hope where no one would give

I can see peace where violence use to be

And I see real love between you and me

So fasten your seatbelt, airbags to breathe

Give me all your love; I’ll give you all of me

And if I hurt or you experience pain

Can we figure it out? Make it a positive gain?

Can we put our scorecards down?

Penalize the flags

Get rid of the referees

Focus on what we have

Close the venue

Keep the spectators out

Leave no room for boos

Make second guessing lose its clout

Yes, I can see a sunrise where dark clouds sat

I can see a sure thing that’s no longer a bet

I can see shade with no leaves on the trees

Because I see real love between you and me

And I’m not distracted by empty nesters

Those “no return on love” investors

Telling us how to live with Titanic results

Full of buried dreams & hearts full of rust

Now It’s only you and I floating high on clouds

Up, up and away silently talking loud

Professing love and deep commitment

At last; at home, with passion and contentment

And I can see the world we use to call home

I can see us finally alone

And I can see that you are all I need

Because I see the real love between you and me

Love for the Holidays

2010-12-23T16:38:00.001-05:00

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

2010-11-01T17:06:00.000-04:00

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

2010-10-07T09:15:00.000-04:00

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

2010-08-30T10:46:00.001-04:00

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

2010-08-10T09:16:00.000-04:00

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

2010-07-10T10:09:00.000-04:00

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

2010-07-10T10:05:00.000-04:00

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

2010-07-01T08:30:00.000-04:00

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

2010-06-09T09:59:00.000-04:00

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

2010-05-19T20:23:00.002-04:00

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

2010-05-19T20:12:00.002-04:00

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

2010-05-19T20:10:00.002-04:00

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

2010-05-19T20:08:00.001-04:00

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

I SIGHT

2010-05-11T09:05:00.000-04:00

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

2010-04-17T00:23:00.003-04:00

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

2010-04-07T09:41:00.000-04:00

…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…

2010-03-13T09:46:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-13T09:39:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-11T16:05:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-04T21:22:00.000-05:00

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

BROKE IN LOVE

2010-03-04T07:59:00.000-05:00

I’m broke and ain’t got a dime to my name
Gave it all to love and I ain’t ashamed, to say so
Withdrew all my emotional assets
Liquidated my 401 OK o be in love fund
and gave it to her

I’m broke in love
But rich as a Rockefeller
And one other Rockafella’
Matter of fact I’m a lucky fellow this Valentine’s Day

Can you say the same?
Have you invested your all before today?
No deposit no return
Many tried to circumvent
And never learn
That It takes a fool to learn that love
Don’t love nobodyUntil you do

So this Valentine’s Day
Bet the bank
Put in all your chips in
No matter what you think
Love is for giving and in that you’ll receive
The key is finding someone who really believes
The same thing

If two are giving, both are receiving
If both are in love, then both are believing
This means no mysteries, or puzzles to solve
No broken hearts or relationships to dissolve

Just endless moments of love and happiness
Yes there will be turbulence and a couple regrets
But in the giving, solutions are found
To move beyond and keep love around

Don’t walk in looking for perfection from the one you’re with
GOD is perfect in your relationship & that’s about it
Accept the flaws and acknowledge your own
And if the two are really giving…
Look out Valentine’s Day its ON!

AS SNOW FLAKES FALL

2010-02-28T11:50:00.001-05:00

LET THE MUSIC PLAY

2010-02-28T11:43:00.003-05:00

Like 2 champagne glasses
Our kiss is a toast
To the love we have
And what we value the most

I drown in thoughts of you
Like bathing in chocolate
Submerging myself in dreams of whipped cream
With you as my only topping
Never stopping for pause…cause
I love you like that

I see the sky as a short distance from here
Because your love reaches beyond galaxies of possibilities
And I can touch you without effort
Because love is my mode of travel

The speed of light is like a crawl
It’s insane to think Usain appears to be walking
Compared to how fast loves moves me to action with you
Then slows me down to take in the moment…
One that makes Kodak jealous

Like 2 dancers we’re in rhythm
But the record never ends
It’s the forever extended version
That never repeats, just keeps playing
Each moment is another verse to the song
Called love you for life and everything else

Like gumbo for lovers we keep putting more stuff in this relationship
A couple of kisses, some hugs, compassion, laughter
Tears, joy & pain,
I can’t believe you did that but do it again and again sauce
Surprises, disguises, horizons of early mornings seasoned with lots of last nights
Can you taste it; hmmm just right this love we have
And to serve it up on Valentines’ Day
Is another verse to the song so...let the music play
While your loving-me takes me up up and away!
Sorry Superman, catch the next flight

JUST A THOUGHT …AGAIN

2010-02-28T11:41:00.003-05:00

Sometimes my mind wanders to that place
I should be…
My destiny
The one I saw as a child
Before adults told me stop dreaming
When they said no way you can…

They never said they were passing on their doubts
And lack of self esteem to me
As if it were a gift and not a curse
Or cursing at me with negativity

Sometimes my mind wanders to utopia
Where whatever IS and
The sky is your floor
And all doors are open wide
Until you find out otherwise

Don’t smother dreams like a fire in a small place
Let the flame of imagination build
Until it burns out of control
Until the winds or reality say so
And even then fan the flames

It’s never too late to rekindle the fire
That used to burn in you
You’re the grown one now
You have the match
It’s you and GOD
Light it
Ignite it
Invite it
Don’t fight it
Be who you wanna’ be
No more wandering…
