As I Sleep
At night when I lay in bed,
as I drift towards my sleep,
when the eve becomes shadowy red,
my slumber has begun deep,
my reflection goes back to better days.
At night when I lay in bed,
sleeping,
dreams take over,
as my spirit drifts
I enter the magical realm of fairytale land.
At night when I lay in bed,
as I drift towards my sleep,
when the eve becomes shadowy red,
I constantly remind myself,
that next to me,
lies you.

God’s Plan
How did we get here?
Please help me understand.
Did true love find us?
Is this God’s plan?
Our plan was to just have fun
enjoy life’s pleasures
fulfill our dirtiest fantasies
nothing more,
nothing less,
no expectations
friends with sexual benefits
full stop
the end,
but as our lips met the first time
it became clear
we started a fire that could not be extinguished
as I entered your sacred haven
and our bodies danced in unison
the tears falling from your eyes
as we both...

Were I a Palm Tree
I see a palm tree
stand tall
arms spread wide
reaching across the sky
fingers waving in the wind.
As I look at the palm tree
I wonder
if it were me
would I be as happy and glee?

Sunset
I sat beneath an Almond tree
by the sea,
and looked at the sun as it set
over the horizon.
The sea,
in its serenity,
beckoned to me.
I closed my eyes
and the magic died.

Misunderstood
It's really hard to wear a smile
when inside
your heart cries
the pain you feel
overshadowed on the outside.
It's not easy being strong
when you can't breathe
gasping for air
hanging on to life
not giving up the fight.
Why wear a crown
and not a frown?
Why not just cry
when all around you are lies?
The truth undefined.
Smiles hide a lot,
a misleading disguise
that tells a false tale
of happiness
though inside you feel like dying.
A sincere smile
can heal a wounded...

your heart cries
the pain you feel
overshadowed on the outside.

Lost
Trying to find myself
I look in my mirror
unrecognizable eyes
look back at me
a smile
then a frown
I don't know who I see
questions in my mind
emotional scars
why am I even in this world?
Trying to find
where I belong
I search deep inside
the depths of my subconscious
unkindled passion burns
like a fiery furnace
trying to see myself,
who I truly am,
I try to go back
to that moment in time
when the eyes in the mirror
looking back at me
was indeed the man you see.

The New Death Song
He cried out heplessly
I can't breathe!
I don't want to die!
help me, please!
They stood by
watching
some silent
some pleading.
Let him go
he did no wrong!
I can't breathe
became a death song.
I just want to go home
what's my crime?
Can you please call my mother
so I can say goodbye?
He cried out hopelessly
I can't breathe!
as his life drifted away
under the deadly knees.
They only laughed
mockingly
ignoring him
his life didn't...

You Love Me To Tears
Baby, you love me to tears
happy
not sad tears
you eliminate my fears
awakened a fiery passion
like a volcano that slept
you love me to tears
joyful
happy tears
a love I never knew existed
in reality
I must be dreaming
this must be a fairy tale
yet it feels so real
because I can taste
the salty tears.

Reminisce
When my lips touched yours and I got a taste of true love's kiss,
my mind began to reminisce,
of days gone by,
those dreams I had,
the fantasies of a fairytale romance.
When I felt your breasts pressed against my chest,
and my heart, beat in sync with yours,
I remember the nights passed,
when I longed to feel the warmth of your breath,
on my neck.
When you whispered in my ears that you love me,
my knees buckled,
your voice made me weak.
Momentarily I journeyed to a place that seemed like Heaven,
because that...

Ready For Love
I was ready for love
but I guess love wasn't ready
for me
or it wasn't my time yet.
I was ready to be committed
I wanted a happy life
with a house full of children
but it wasn't my time yet.
When I said I do
I wanted it to be forever,
together,
not apart.
My heart was full.
I felt complete with you in my life.
As I look back
my heart asks, why
I was ready for love,
but love wasn't ready for me.

Addicted To You
As my soul smiles through your heart
my eyes sparkle with love
you're my addiction,
the drug that gives me that fix,
keeping me intoxicated
with passion
all I have to do is think of you
and I am never unhappy.
As my soul smiles through your heart,
each breath you take
I hope reminds you
that you're the tempo to my beat
my life has truly transformed
since the day I was blessed to see your smile
and feel its warmth through my heart.
The taste of your lips,
as we kissed,
took me to ecstasy ...

Dark Desires
As my desire springs anew each day
my heart becomes aflame
with every thought of you.
Are you feeling what I’m feeling?
Do you desire me too?
I am standing at a crossroads
confused, which way to go
erotic,
deep,
dark desires,
kissing you,
tasting every curve of your body
exploring places no other man has ever travelled
like a desolate forest
I desire to make u moan in ecstasy
as you reach that epitome of climax
and wonder
if it’s a dream.
my heart becomes aflame
with every thought of you.
