Every morning I look in the mirror looking into my soul seeing innocence, but on the outside everyone finds me guilty
The sun is shining
The sky is blue.
Little did I know I’d see you.
I’m waiting to cross the street,
My mind focused on my schedule.
Going through it in my head,
it looks like I’m not going to make it to bed.
I get the signal, time to walk.
I’m strolling across, then there’s this knock-knock.
I turn and look—
It’s her, waiving at me through a car windshield.
Her beautiful smile shining through a car windshield.
Her brown eyes looking into my soul.
I wave back with a giant smile,
But in that moment, that little beautiful extraordinary moment,
She grasped my heart through a car windshield.
Picturesque are these islands of Golden Sands
Amidst hues of bonnie blue in the Sulu Sea
Rearing columns of Palms in heavenly reach
Admiration my eyes granted their canopy glee
Distance is no object as we walk their shores
I and my love in splish splashing paddle dips
She turns takes my hands looking into my soul
Encompassed we're engrossed lips to lips

Alone, alone and watching the midnight full moon
Alone, alone and carrying a curse that should feel like a boon
Alone, alone in a lonely house and peering into the wintry, foggy gloom
Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is a loon.
Alone, alone and staring into the fire
Alone, alone and sinking, into the bog, into the mire
Alone, alone in the heart of the woods and watching a burning pyre
Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is a liar.
Alone, alone and looking into my soul
Alone, alone and knowing, never can I fill this hole
Alone, alone in a dark void and surviving without a goal
Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is not whole.
Alone, alone and standing, facing the sea
Alone, alone and not knowing what might be
Alone, alone in the darkness and feeling it creeping over me
Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is me.
I know you are this
I lust to hear your dance.
To hear the rhythm of your heart,
Beating and beating away.
To hear your eyes blinking,
Ticking and ticking away.
To hear your breathing take place,
Swooshing in and swooshing out.
Oh, how I lust to hear your dance.
I lust to feel you remember.
The nights on the moonlit path;
Your words holding on to my soul.
The days when you’d hold me tight,
Never letting go, never ever letting go.
You caressing my skin,
Hands so soft, so lustrous.
Oh, how I lust to feel you remember.
I lust to see your love.
When you’d smile at me for no reason,
Such a bright and happy smile.
When your eyes would gaze into mine,
Nothing but beauty and perfection.
Watching you stare off into space,
Knowing it was I you’d see
Oh, how I lust to see your love.
I know that this is you.
You looking into my soul.
I feel your energy, so vibrant.
Your heart loving me endlessly,
On and on, until forever can end.
Your kiss to my fragile heart,
You’re the only one that can make it jump.
Oh, how I know this is you.
Running, running in the dark, emerging from the woods late in the night.
Whispering clouds seem to drift before the face of the moon. Looking over
my shoulder, yet, as always, no- one is there, No- one is ever there. There
is a house, always the same house. I come to window, always the same
window, crouching low, I am afraid, always afraid. My shaking fingers grasp
the sill, I raise my head ever so slowly, as my heart is beating out of my
chest. My eyes clear the edge of the sill, instantly it seems as though
my heart and time stand still. Apparitions, hundreds of them, moving, lost
as though they seek something. I pray silently to God for protection, suddenly
I feel warmed, as though a blanket has been wrapped around me. Without
conscious thought, I begin to pray for the souls I see within each apparition
I see. Those that look at me and what seems like their looking into my soul
smile at me, then disappear into a soft glowing light. Those that don't look
at me remain. What can this mean?
To be Continued!
you're tall and strong,
I love the brown dark color of your skin,
your black hair, your brown eyes, looking into my soul.
you're tall amd strong, " who can hold you down"?
you make me weak with your sweet kiss,
you take all the love that I could give.
you're tall and strong, the way you stand,
I reach for love, you take my hand.
you're tall and strong, you are that man.
