HOME ALONE

I want to touch the center of your soul

Offer up my universe in exchange

That includes the skeletons in my closet

If you share your dark secrets in the daylight

Judge and jury can’t live in this space

Family got their own real estate

We have to carve out a land of milk & honey and love

And put up a fence to keep the haters out

We’ll probably lose friends in the process

Who were haters in sheep’s clothing…

Unmasked at the birth of our happiness

Be gone, dead wrong, sad song

You want to destroy what you desperately want for yourself

Ohh well…

Put the sold sign in the yard

This house is off the market

So are we

Home alone at last

TIME

I bend time to meet my needs
I steal minutes based on greed
Hours I deposit to store away
Then reality steps in...

Tomorrow I'll try again
To maximize my time
I manufacture a cause
To get my thoughts in line
What I had planned seems to always escape
Why can't I merge my dreams with fate?

I push play and destroy the pause
I will make it work, goodbye Murphy's Law
I plot and plan, guide my path
Momentum showed up; so no turning back...

And the end of the day
Has no value in this place
I will pick up tomorrow
and continue this race
Using my time, and wasting some too
But in waste I then, find out what not to do...
Thus time now becomes my friend

THE TRUTH!

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

I'M HERE FOR YOU

The swirling winds can't silence your whisper
Raging storms can't kill your cry
I hear you calling out for me to answer
Love, I don't need to know why

I'm here for you always and forever
Until the need goes away
But I can't ever see that happening
Because my love for you will never fade

I'm here for you leading lady
Don't doubt my words or deeds
Your requests are my pleasure
To respond is a blessing to me

And like time never stops moving
I will never stop in love
I will give my best in action
And then try to give a little more

So let me say as I wrap up these thoughts
I will never leave you alone
My time with you is so precious
I can't stand the moments when you're gone

Goodnight...

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

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…
