U Turn

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

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

 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

RED LIPS STICK

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

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

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!
