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

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!
