I tinkered with the lathe of Heaven
its engine burned desire

fashioned form from formlessness
which set my heart afire

a completion of clashing wants
juxtapose to perfection

hair and bone, skin and tone
dressed at my direction

a masterpiece of femininity
an artists crowning prise

I stand in admiration
you're the apple of my eye

Were you ever in love

with an angel from above

ensconced perfectly across from you

and you couldn’t get enough.

Were you ever in love

and the person smiles back

you laugh together easily

and you couldn’t get enough.

Were you ever in love

with an angel from above

forty years  of pink champagne  

and you could’t get enough.

I loved her before I touched her
before I held her hand

before I knew they’d be an end
a cataclysmic last stand

She rearranged perfection
long held within my mind

we lashed our hearts together
with memories as strong as time

then one afternoon a pinnacle
our love became replete

when I held her slender ankles
in my hands

and kissed the bottoms
of her stockinged feet

I’m too shy to tell you that I love you
  though I’ve loved you from the moment I saw you
    your smile captivates me.  I can’t help it,  suddenly I’m out of control
      I try not to think of you and then I see you
        there I go again looking for my breath, all the air is gone
           I’m so afraid.  If you touched me, I might burst into flames
             in your arms I would dissolve
               you have no idea what you do to me
                 how can I tell you of my fantasies
                   would you even care to...
