I"ll Stop Loving You When

I’ll stop loving you, 
When I stop, 
Breathing.
 
When the heart of the 
Moon and sun 
Starts beating.
 
When the rains 
No longer need 
The clouds.
 
When the sidewalks 
Are empty 
Of crowds.
 
I’ll stop loving you 
When the day 
Needs no light.
 
When the stars 
Are no more 
At night.
 
When the blood 
Seizes to run 
Through my veins. 

When I can 
No longer 
Feel the pain.
 
When my heart 
Cannot 
Go on beating.
 
I’ll stop loving you
When I stop 
Breathing.

Cyber Sex

I see you flicker across my screen
I know I’m in for another round
The way you touch me gives me chills
All this without a single sound.

But OH when my eyes I do close
I have found my paradise in you
This thing we call cyber sex
Is very exciting and brand new.

The way you caress my skin with words
Makes me tingle leaves me unnerved
Your kisses I feel as if they were real
With every keystroke you trace my curves.

We make love without ever touching
In this world we call cyber sex
He has put a curse on me for sure
Or is it me that holds the hex?

When You Received Your Wings Today

You received your angel wings today
With such poise and such grace
Oh how they fit you to a T
God knows I never wanted this to be
I love you more than life it self
You were so brave ,I couldn’t help
But now sweet innocent child of mine
Time to smile, time to shine
Your suffering no more will be
You will always be a part of me
So spread your wings and fly so high
Let your laughter light the sky
I held your hand all the way
When you received your wings today.

I Was Chosen To Be Loved By You

I often wondered what heaven would be like
I have to look no further than in your eyes
For I see all that is pure and good
The window of the soul tells no lies.

To feel your presence when you’re not here
Now, I know the feel of an angel’s breath
God has given me a moment’s grace
For I have known heaven before death.

In you I have found a rare quiet peace
A love so exquisite, strong and true
Through heavens pearly gates I’ll walk
Through life and death I’ll wait for you

For heaven on earth I have known
I am one of the lucky, chosen few
That for a moment, here on earth
I was chosen, to be loved by you.

I Can'T Unlove You

I bow my head,
Raise my hands,
Ask God to give me,
All the strength he can.

Because,
I can’t unlove you!

I never knew, 
A love like this,
A love like yours,
I’d never have missed.

I always knew,
As my heart weeps,
That you were never,
Really mine to keep.

So…

I bow my head,
Raise my hands,
Ask God to give me,
All the strength he can,

Because,

I can’t unlove you!

My Last Goodbye

To the one man that ever stole my heart………

I tell you I love you, you ask me not to love you.

How could I never NOT love you? It is so hard writing through the tears. 

The time has come for me to let you go, once and for all. The pain of not seeing you, talking to 
you, touching you, kissing you, will be unbearable for awhile. 

In time I may get the pieces of my heart to fit so it is whole again. Can you see the pieces lying 
shattered at my feet? Do you even care? 

No one could possibly love you as much as I do, but you are so afraid of yourself that you don’t 
know how to love. I would do anything, give up everything to be with you. 

I guess we are not really meant to be. One thing will always remain the same, and that is the 
love I feel so strongly for you. 

I don’t know why we were put into each other’s lives. Sometimes it is for a reason, and 
sometimes it is only for a season. I thank God every day he gave me a season filled with you. 
You filled many lonely moments for me. That I thank you for. 

Tell me, how do I get you out of me, how?

If this were written on paper, it would be full of faded words, due to my tears for you. What a fool 
I am. I could never see the truth because I was blinded by my love for you. 

Like they say…parting is such sweet sorrow. 

Let the knowledge that I love you with all I am keep you safe , and make you happy as I wrap my 
love around you. 

I am so sorry this has turned out this way. 

Just know, the angels in heaven know just how much I love you. 

Good bye my darling...

The Greatest Is Love (For Kollin, My Grandson)

They said you were special
Right from the start,
This I can see
In your will and your heart.

We know God’s work
Is never done.
And here on earth
You are the chosen one.

The one to teach us
How to love.
Sent on wings
From angels above.

Sent to show us
And the world to see
A blessing is a blessing
And will always be.

So we wrap our love 
Around all of you
Let the sky be your limit
To all things new.

You were given to us
With faith from above
With hope we know 
The greatest is love.

His Tears Fall Like Rain

His tears fall like rain when he sees her for that very first time.  
All he can do is whisper “I Love You.”

With trembling hands he reaches out to touch her face. 
 She is shaking as he lifts her eyes to his.  

He wipes a tear from her cheek as he looks in her eyes so blue,
And he knows without a doubt he has found his lonely heart in her.

He takes her warm body in his arms.  Runs his fingers through her  dark hair as she rests her 
head on his chest.  

The touch of her hand upon his heart feels like a bolt of lightning. 
He knows he has found his angel he has so desperately looked for all his life.

She looks at him in a way he only dreamed of, never believing he would find it. 
He lifts her chin and touches his lips to hers. Fire courses through her body. 

He can feel her lean into him as he kisses her soft lips, tongues probing. 
She can feel his body grow hard against her. 

He slowly and tenderly undresses her, and her him.

His lips find the curve of her neck, and he hears her moan low and deep.

Her hands take his face and kiss it all over, gently, and barely.  The touch of her breath on his 
skin drives him wild.

He runs his fingers over every soft and sensuous curve of her beautiful body.  His lips linger 
here and there to savor every last taste of her, every last drop of her, and every smell that is her. 

He gently lays her down. Her long glorious hair spilling all around him. He sees in her eyes what 
his heart has been blind to.  

He feels in her touch all he needs to know that his heart has found hers. 

He kisses her, passionately, hard, deep as she bites his lip. She feels him plunge deep into her 
soul.   

With jagged breaths, they become one. 

And her tears flow like rain and all she can whisper is “I Love You.”

Make Love To Me Where

Make love to me where
                         The waves kiss the sand

                         Make love to me 
                         As only you can

                        Make love to me on
                       White clouds in the sky

                       Make love to me when
                       The clouds start to cry

                       Make love to me over
                      And over again

                      Make love to me from
                     Somewhere deep within

                     Make love to me with
                     Your eyes and your hands

                     Make love to me where
                     The waves kiss the sand.

His Queen

The Knight smells the scent of 
His Queen,  
In the midnight air.

He turns to 
Go to her,
But no one is there.

He had her in the 
Palm of his hands,
Or so it seemed.

When the sun comes up
It was all,
But a dream.
