Our eyes met...

It was the fall of fifty-four
and “cool” was the in thing.
I was a senior in high school
and had just moved

Arriving at the restaurant
I am the friend of a friend
A stranger to most
Introductions are brief
Too many names to remember
For my overworked brain

When I returned your ring I sat in confusion,
I couldn’t run far enough away to forget you-
When I left I didn’t know what I was losing,
but I moved across the country for a fresh view.

It had to be...

The moon glistened with pride
Burning thru a blackened sky
The world oblivious to his stride
Upright, all fours, n back
Panting n snorting like distorted dogs in a hunt ahead the pack
The light flickering thru the trees

We may not have the ability to find words
that match the intensity of being in love ~
the overwhelming happiness and emotion
that most of us long for, and dream of.

There I was, a lonely soul, lollin' on a Bermuda beach soakin' up the sun,

He sat, open shirt, milking the good from the last 
few drops of that hot beer.
Waiting on a three legged bar stool
for something to develop, but nothing was near.

When he would go a-hunting.
He was not always seeking prey,
But he was hunting something.

There was a glade deep in the wood,
With a lovely little pond,
And she would come...

I'll turn off the lights,
while you emit the moon,
let's feel our bodies collide,
this romantic night in June.
 
Softly, you appear as I turn on our song and memories rush back. I am drawn to you...

I came a long way to see you today,
in the deep of winter, I found your headstone-
and brushed away the frozen snow with my mitten,
to reveal just the word- MOTHER,
and I whispered, I love...

pure pleasure of passion ignites and implodes
a gentle charisma embellishes a true charmer
