A Familiar Chime
When suddenly we broke up
I could not sleep last night
I woke up the next morning
Knowing something was not right
I went from loving you to hating you
Not knowing what exactly would come next
And then I heard that familiar chime
And that’s when I read your text
My eyes they filled with soft tears
What you wrote it filled my heart
You said you realized where you failed me
And that’s what drove both of us apart
I looked down at all the text you wrote
The most beautiful words I’ve ever seen
Not because of where we both went wrong
But because I felt my heart-skip in between
My world went from joy and happiness
To a loss I that shook my very soul
Now here comes a silly chime and your thoughtful text
Words of love that you wanted me to know
I sit hear reading all your kind words
My tears falling slowly as I read
I can see where I too made big mistakes
And know that you are all I need
I want to be yours forever
I’m uncertain about what comes next
But…I want a chance to kiss you deep and love you,
And feel my heart skip when you text…

What Love Is
When it’s really cold like this
And you jump-up to give-me-a-kiss
My very heart begins to melt
It’s as if I’ve never felt
What Love Is…
Your lips so soft
and oh-so-tender
A song from your heart,
And you’re the sender
And until I kissed your lips
I could not remember
What Love Is…
It’s your passion and your embrace
It’s your soul making my-heart-race
It’s how you hold me tight-like-this
It’s how you mean it when-we-kiss
You close your eyes
And your heart just pounds
My head it spins
as I go round and round,
about,
What Love Is…
When it’s really cold like this
You’re the warm-fire when-we-kiss
If my heart spoke a language
We both knew
We’d share that feeling
through-and-through
That language would simply
Have no words
Because what happens
When it does it occur,
that’s,
What Love Is…

Gasp
when was the last time that you
gasped?
looked into their eyes
held all your feelings like a
clasp…
enjoying that single rush,
when the moment seems to hush
the quiet
the burst
the passion
and your thirst
like needing air
but you could breathe
because you
gasped…
in that moment you felt
the passion
like a gush of water
from some stream
not like in real life
but in a dream
flowing through you so furious
and so fast
a shooting star inside your soul
that made you
gasp…
if love could be experienced
in one breath
where you lived and loved
and really had nothing left
until the next time when your
whole world begins
to shake…
you look up into their eyes
you’re wide-awake
you yearn to know if your love will truly last
and then you feel that shooting star
inside your soul
and
begin
to,
gasp…

Your Secret Hiding Place
So many words and pictures
about a woman’s breasts and curves
So little said about what happens in bed
With a woman’s back and its allure
My journey begins behind your neck
As my fingers gently glide
I begin to massage your lower back
And hear your soft-murmurs from inside
This place…
This curve…
your lower back,
Is pure…
Delight…
I could run my hands forever
Up and down your sensuous skin
I can start right near your bottom
And feel the passion as my head spins
So many words and pictures
About cleavage bras and lace
That’s just because they’ve got us looking
And rarely mention your special hiding place
For sure the view from the front side
Is great for eyes and play
But ask a woman would she like a back massage
And watch what her eyes and soul will say
Your very own secret hiding place
A hidden treasure left intact
As my free hand roams,
My kisses comb…
Every inch of your beautiful back…

Swoon
I wonder if I’ll ever swoon
Look starry-eyed up at the moon
Walk and feel my heart just pounding
Feel, if-this-is-love it’s just astounding
I wonder…
I wonder if I’ll ever feel my body nervous
You know, that feeling when your mind is curious
I think of you and my heart beats fast
My thoughts my feelings cannot surpass
How my mind has conjured meeting you…
Tell me, does your mind go into some hyper-drive?
All the cells in your whole body they come alive
Like some kind of chorus from your heart and soul
You’re in there somewhere desperately wanting to know…
Is this love?
How did love get into this conversation?
Am I fool to think I understand its translation?
I know I think about you day and night
My heart has convinced me we’re just right
I look at Life and it seems enthralling
Am I just numb because I am falling…
In love with you?
I wonder if I’ll ever swoon
Look starry-eyed up at the moon
I know when I do look into your eyes
It’s like Life has said “Here’s the best surprise…
I reach down to kiss your tender lips
Take my hand and caress your finger tips
And yes my heart is truly pounding,
And if this is love,
It is astounding….

Lost in One Another
How ‘bout we run away together?
And I mean run…
Where there’s no-way anyone can find us
not even our shadows from the sun
We could leave real-late-at-night
After the moon has said good-night
Where there’s no star we haven’t missed
Come up for air after we both kissed
How ‘bout we run?
Are you game?
Or do you want to watch our relationship
turn out to be the same?
How ‘bout we run away together?
And I mean run,
Where our hearts they beat so fast
Being nervous shedding clothes
Trying to make our kisses last
We should just go…
Pick a place that fits our dream
Pack some clothes float down a stream
Laugh and giggle about what-we-forgot
Let our passion keep-us-hot
Get so lost in one another that we don’t care,
Because when our lips they part
We stare,
At each other
Forever…

The Question
I think why we stay together
Is in part because we’re-not-through
there’s a part of you inside-my-soul
and part of me inside-of-you
I think the idea of separation
Brings the loss of what will we do,?
The question isn’t will you get over me,
But will I get over you?
Sometimes I think I’m over you
And sometimes I think I’m not
When you tell me that you love me
It’s such a warm and loving thought
Why is it that it can be so good?
And then sometimes it’s not-so-good at all?
Why is it some days I want you next to me
And some days I will not take your call?
I think the idea of breaking up,
Seems like we just could not make it through…
The question isn’t will you get over me,
But will I get over you?
I’ve been through this with someone else
and getting over them took some time
It was like a love-crazy-broken-record
That just played endlessly in my mind
Does anyone ever find that someone
that just really excites them to-no-end?
You can’t wait to see them in the morning
And late at night see them again?
Is it all just fantasy from movies?
Where we see true-love on the screen
But when it comes down to real life,
We have no idea what it really means?
I know that we love each other,
But I know as well there are doubts inside us too,
The question isn’t will you get over me,
But will I get over you?

Oh-So-Soft
“How would you describe her?”
“I’d say radiant”
“Radiant?”
“Yes, radiant like the sun but oh-so-soft…
“Like the feeling of a feather that you run your hand across…
“Like looking in her eyes and wanting to get lost…”
“Lost?”
“Yes, lost like in never-land…
A place that you understand
She keeps her heart…
She keeps her touch…
and
You yearn to be with her so much…”
“Really?”
“Really yes, it’s just my guess
She’s not from here,
She melts my heart…
She’s radiant
and
Her love is always-on and never off…”
“Never?”
“Yes, never…never like the sun but oh-so-soft…”

With You
I turned to look to where the sun had set
My mind it simply could not forget
Your eyes your smile your sensual touch
With you,
There’s never-ever way too much…
The sun it sank and with-it went-my-heart
It’s hard whenever you-depart
You walked away after our deep-long-kiss
With you,
There’s so much that I always miss…
Is it love or hunger or both on prowl?
The sun is gone but I watch anyhow
I wonder if you’ll turn back and maybe look
With you,
I know my heart-is-hooked…
I walk and wonder am I too much in need?
Am I giving my heart up to let yours lead?
I admit when I’m in love I really fall,
With you,
It’s just that I want it all…
I’ve been down love’s road a time or two
How many more times until my heart is through?
My soul has a secret it won’t let me forget
I’ve been in love,
With you,
Since we first met…

No Words Could Ever Say So Much
When I heard you
It was from deep and far away…
Like you had touched a place
where only private moans
your body owns,
Can express what-it-is
you want to say…
I like to bring you
to this private place…
Where your back it arches…
your head tilts back…
a passionate silence before you gasp…
Your body trembles as my hands hold true…
Eruption!
Explosion!
Like a thundering wave from
the deep blue ocean…
And from somewhere deep inside your soul
you touch that place
where you let go
You close your eyes and let-out-a-moan
that’s just as good as,
“We just came home…”
Where home is the sound of
Two soul’s who touch,
No words could ever say so much…
And then the silence
except your-heart-pounding
My head lay’s near,
And it’s astounding…
When I heard you,
It was from deep and far away,
Your moan…
Alone
Your eyes closed shut…
No words could ever say so much…
