Lover why do you lie
I want to kiss you
A thousand times
And caress your dark skin
On a moonless night
I hunger for your touch
For I am lovesick
I will pray for your return
To make love again and again
You do not love me
Yet I love you sometimes still
Maybe it is the past
That I am in love with the memory
I have not forgotten the first time
Our lips met so long ago
I loved you instantly
You did not love me
Perhaps we will meet again
Under a star kissed sky
My lovesickness might be...
A thousand times
And caress your dark skin
On a moonless night
I hunger for your touch
For I am lovesick
I will pray for your return
To make love again and again
You do not love me
Yet I love you sometimes still
Maybe it is the past
That I am in love with the memory
I have not forgotten the first time
Our lips met so long ago
I loved you instantly
You did not love me
Perhaps we will meet again
Under a star kissed sky
My lovesickness might be...

The nature of my addiction
I am right back in the middle
Of the addiction
Becoming fixated
In the affliction
Of the ritualism of desire
Waiting for the text or call
Longing for the time
When together we will fall
In LOVE again and all that implies
Falling for the feelings that
Will take away this pain inside
And allow me to erase the past
Fixation! It ravages my mind
My brain looping with dreams
Of you inside of me, holding me
But nothing is at it seems
You are incapable of holding my love ...
Of the addiction
Becoming fixated
In the affliction
Of the ritualism of desire
Waiting for the text or call
Longing for the time
When together we will fall
In LOVE again and all that implies
Falling for the feelings that
Will take away this pain inside
And allow me to erase the past
Fixation! It ravages my mind
My brain looping with dreams
Of you inside of me, holding me
But nothing is at it seems
You are incapable of holding my love ...

You belong to me still
You belong to me
Don’t bother to deny
Our souls are destiny
Why ask why
Many lifetimes we have shared
Our hearts and bodies entwined
You can pretend not to care
But you know you are mine
And although we are no longer together
Sometimes I search for you still
Seeing you today was altogether
A reminder of the feel
Of our crazy love affair
That we once shared
A time when we laid our souls bare
A time when we both cared
Could we ever rekindle
The passion and the love ...
Don’t bother to deny
Our souls are destiny
Why ask why
Many lifetimes we have shared
Our hearts and bodies entwined
You can pretend not to care
But you know you are mine
And although we are no longer together
Sometimes I search for you still

Could we ever rekindle

No Prince Charming
It is a deeply lonely life
That I have chosen to live
Surrounded by myriad people
Who take but never give
I retreat into my own little world
When a kind word is spoken
I am skeptical and unbelieving
So many times, my heart has been broken
My loneliness I don like armor
No prince by my side
No fairytale man
The pieces of my heart scattered far and wide
I chose this life I know
Always doing the expected
Devoted to a misconception
Now choices regretted
That I have chosen to live
Surrounded by myriad people
Who take but never give
I retreat into my own little world
When a kind word is spoken
I am skeptical and unbelieving
So many times, my heart has been broken
My loneliness I don like armor
No prince by my side
No fairytale man
The pieces of my heart scattered far and wide
I chose this life I know
Always doing the expected
Devoted to a misconception
Now choices regretted

War
My body says yes
My mind says no
I have not longed for you
Since long, long ago
I think I loved you
Sometimes you loved me too
I miss our bodies together
But I don’t miss you
I know that should I see you
My body will betray me
Our times together
Will blind me such that I cannot see
The hurt that you caused me
The pain you inflicted
Your disregard for my affection
The past as you depicted
Why did you not love me in return
I ached for you day and night
No matter...
My mind says no
I have not longed for you
Since long, long ago
I think I loved you
Sometimes you loved me too
I miss our bodies together
But I don’t miss you
I know that should I see you
My body will betray me
Our times together
Will blind me such that I cannot see
The hurt that you caused me
The pain you inflicted
Your disregard for my affection
The past as you depicted
Why did you not love me in return
I ached for you day and night

The Midnight Hour
Here it is, the midnight hour
Staring into the dark of night
Contemplating love and life
How each night is a fight
In search of sleep
A temporary respite
From all that ails me
A few hours to forget
Put out of my mind
A long-ago love affair
Mistakes that cannot be altered
A life lived without care
I thought that running away
From the time and place
Escaping unscathed
Would all these things erase
Tortured by the memories
Haunted by the past
Not running fast enough
The memories...
Staring into the dark of night
Contemplating love and life
How each night is a fight
In search of sleep
A temporary respite
From all that ails me
A few hours to forget
Put out of my mind
A long-ago love affair
Mistakes that cannot be altered
A life lived without care
I thought that running away
From the time and place
Escaping unscathed
Would all these things erase
Tortured by the memories
Haunted by the past
Not running fast enough
The memories...

Dawn
Time between awakening and asleep
If captured I can keep
Some of the messages from the deep
That I received in my sleep
God, whisper in my ear
The secrets that I should hear
When dawn breaks and light is near
Keep my visions clear
For in the hours between dark and light
Under the pale moonlight
My journey between wrong and right
The gap closes between heaven and earth tonight
Reconnect me, my God - my Source
My faith is reinforced
And I do so without remorse
The veil between us, I do try to pierce
If captured I can keep
Some of the messages from the deep
That I received in my sleep
God, whisper in my ear
The secrets that I should hear
When dawn breaks and light is near
Keep my visions clear
For in the hours between dark and light
Under the pale moonlight
My journey between wrong and right
The gap closes between heaven and earth tonight
Reconnect me, my God - my Source
My faith is reinforced
And I do so without remorse
The veil between us, I do try to pierce

White
Is it self-hatred
To despise Caucasians when
Sometimes I hear them speak
I cringe deep within
My skin the same color
White privilege protects them clearly
Like King Arthur’s sword
Guarding them wearily
How are they blind to the people of color
Who surround them every day
And as they carry on their lives
They offend with each word they say
Unknowing or uncaring when they speak
Their words often offensive
Unaware that they transgress
Causing others to be...

Not Yet Slumber
Why must this slumber end
I am not yet finished with the dream
When the day begins
Nothing is as it seems
For the light of day
Erases our recollection
Of the night’s Shakespearian play
The dark reflection
The divine is held in dream
The connection with our creator undeniable
Nothing is as it seems
The future now unforeseeable
Connect with me, my beloved Creator
Show me my truth
For you are my life curator
Just as in my youth
I am not yet finished with the dream
When the day begins
Nothing is as it seems
For the light of day
Erases our recollection
Of the night’s Shakespearian play
The dark reflection
The divine is held in dream
The connection with our creator undeniable
Nothing is as it seems
The future now unforeseeable
Connect with me, my beloved Creator
Show me my truth
For you are my life curator
Just as in my youth
