Lovely lately 

I will treat you sweetly

Adore you I mean you crush me 

It's time like these 

When my faith I feel

And I know how I love you 

Come on 

Lady

By love we'll beat back the pain we've found 

You know 

Mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside 

With each moment the more I love you

Crush me

Come on

So much you have given love

That I would give you back again and again

Meaning I'll hold you 

And please let me always

self control

the hardest
part of
letting someone
you love
go is
making yourself
stay away

incense

like a smoldering
cigarette butt
tossed to the ground

there is nothing
left of me
for you

but oh those fleeting
seconds of being
pressed on your lips

i hope your
lungs still burn
with my scent

Somewhere in Time

Somewhere in time I was meant to have you

to paint myself on the contour of your body
 

in shades of light and darkness,
 

between ecstasy of life and the sadness
 

decorating your eyes.
 

Somewhere in time I was meant to love you
 

to encrust myself deep in your bones
 

fusing my desires underneath your skin
 

lost in body and soul or someplace between
 

the oceans of your mouth and the skies.
 

Somewhere in time I was mean to find you
 

to stumble graciously into your dreams
 

planting smiles in early spring
 

harvesting kisses in fall making you mine
 

for long before I already knew
 

I was meant to have you  somewhere in time.

Dare to dream

Over thinking life
can leave you sinking
this started as 10 words
but got me thinking

Losing sleep over
the day that's been
instead of looking to tomorrow
and what's yet to begin

Dwelling on something
someone may have said
when you could be sleeping
in comfort in bed

Drinking to excess
over matters of no control
or turning silver haired
for not reaching your goal

Try living each day
like a fresh start
sure, it may end like crap
but listen to your heart

Celebrate your uniqueness
let off a bit of steam
at the end of each day
think positive, dare to dream

About a Woman

I see love
written all over this place
I can see love
when I look at her face
(and she looks at him).

I should have stepped up
To be that man
Once upon a time
I might have had that chance
(with her).

I hope for things
For dreams to come true
For a woman to love me
Like I should have loved her.

forever

i'm afraid of losing you forever
so i stay quiet, shut my mouth
get on with things
but maybe it'd be better
if the words were said,
questions asked,
feelings felt and dealt with
so that, even if i lose you
at least i'll know i tried.
i'm afraid of losing you forever
but night will turn to day
frost will melt away
and i'll learn to stop loving you
and i'll learn how to see
my own reflection in the glass
instead of your fingerprints
smudged across the
surface.
i'll learn to bask in sunlight
and read books by ponds
and watch the sun sink
behind pink clouds
and i'll do it all alone,
and i'll be okay with that.
i'm afraid of losing you forever
but even more so,
i'm afraid of losing myself
to a love that maybe
isn't worth fighting for.
i'm afraid of losing me forever.
