A Diamond In the Ruff

Her eyes were like jewels 
That has been stolen from a great Egyptian treasure
Her smile was brighter than the northern lights
That reflects off glaciers of ice

A rare specimen of a woman 
Whose feet were small, beautiful and petite 
As though they has been hand carved
She was perfectly shaped from head to toe
And her skin tone looks as if it had been mixed in caramel and milk

This was beauty in its purist form untouched
Like a rosebud blooming in the warmth of the summer sun
And I must admit she was truly 
A Diamond in the Ruff

A Fire That Never Dies

Why have you thrown my heart
Into the bottomless pit of love
Where flames never die and time 
Seems to stand still

Almost a remarkable capture
Except for the chains
Shackled to my wrist
Which she leads me by

It seems I’ve loved her all my life
Starring wonderly at the white hoarse 
She rides with no attire
Where are you taking me my love I shouted
Then she turned and silently said
Shhhh
To a place where the fire never dies
My Love

A Sweet Tooth

Far away in a candy cane world
With you name written across the sky
As chocolate cover rainbows
Reveals the true colors of life

Cotton Candy clouds 
Laced in sugar coated raindrops
That have fallen into a river of carmel emotions

Although flowers that bloom
Like cake dough rising in grandma’s oven
Reminds me of big blo chewing gum

On how I crave those peanut butter cookies
That were shaped into little hearts
Dipped in honey nut

But nothing will ever top those lips
That taste of strawberries 
The skin that smells of peaches
For which I feign for
She’s sweeter than any candy I’ve ever tasted
For you my love
I will always have a sweet tooth

Soul Mate

Am I dreaming although I lie awake?
Or could it be my imagination is just running wild. For the title to my heart has just 
been secretly sold to the highest bidder called love. 

She owns every passionate feeling that is to surface within me, for she has 
moved into the very center of my life where she is forever a roommate of my soul. 


We are compatible in many ways and fortunate to know the value of what we 
have. For love making has become a plague that which I am now addicted. 
and

Intimacy is a part of us. As we privately elope. There is evidence of feelings being 
shared as I examine what is not just a dream to find what reveals to be my long 
lost Soul mate.

You

I drift off into a world of imagination a world with a picture of your body covering 
the sky. and

I must admit your nakedness has gotten me totally in a daze. I am stuck admiring 
what is only your beauty in its rarest form. 

As chocolate covered rainbow reveals the true colors of life. I extended my hands 
upwards and I could almost feel the softness of your skin brush slightly across 
my fingertips. 

I become impatient as my forehead drips with sweat and my breathing grows 
heavier. I am mentally aroused by a sexual daydream called You.

Forsaken Love

Why have thou forsaken me with eye’s that lust my love.
For curiosity has tempted me and I am willing lead by a fool’s heart
Only to surface in a poet’s pen by expression I am self explanatory

But there lies a place deep in my soul 
A doorway to life which leads to the root of every situation
As broken tear drops stain the ground traced in forbidden sorrows
For she has spoken with a tongue full of lies

What have I done my love?
Forgive thou heart
As he embraces a forbidden oath
A sacred vow made by two that was destine to be torn apart
Longing for what is Forsaken Love

I'Ve Fallen In Love

I think of her constantly
And I couldn’t imagine life without her
With every beat of my heart I’ve fallen head over heels
She’s my one and only 
True Love

But beware of false pretenders
Who lurk in the shadows of broken hearts
Only to deprive those who has been join together as one

My love for her is sacred
I miss every moment she’s not around
I’ve entered a forbidden territory at my own risk
I’ve fallen in Love

Intimate Friends

She’s a beautiful friend of mine
I can tell her anything.
She knows me and all that I am
She trusts in me.
But my friendship has turned to lust 
and her beauty has become suddenly appealing.

She is unaware of my intimate eyes
I want her
I long for her
But she is my beautiful friend
She walks through my mind and lives in my dreams
Her voice soothes me

Then late one night she called me and said come quick.
Rushing thinking something was wrong.
I arrived at her door pounding
Upon opening my heart raced with fear
My imagination runs wild as she greets me with wet kisses
Then she spoke I’ve wanted to do that for quite some time now.

Thoughts of Sex

I awake dripping wet from a sleep of passionate lust
Day dreaming as I stare at the wall lying in bed
My thoughts are more than sexual
I’m in love with her

Barefoot as I strolled towards the open shower doors
I could hear the sound of rain
As I soak my body underneath coldwater
Drowning out the flames that has aroused me

Thinking to myself she only lives in dreams
I’m overwhelmed by a fairytale wishing for reality
There’s not another like her
Never realizing she has become my wildest fantasy

I'M Enslaved In Her

Here I am shackled in cuffs 
That are chained directly to my heart 
My soul has been locked up and the key thrown away

For she fears I have become a fugitive of love
Although I’m enslaved in emotions with the eyes of a child that stares curiously 
and wonders why

I’ve tempted to break free with no destination
But her grasp has tightened and I’ve grown accustomed to the feeling

Quietly she whispers why do you struggle so much, don’t you love me
Then it dawned on me I do and from that moment on I realized that I would 
always 
Be enslaved in her.
