Call
Thoughts are a jumble
Feelings more pure
There are so many…
so many emotions
For you
With you
You’re a great fixer
but if you’re tired & just need a rest
Collapse here
Let’s talk for real
Find a way please
Would it be ok just to these things
For real?
I’d say I’m sorry, too
Do you fear my voice?
Do you fear my words & sentiments?
Or yours?
Truth & clarity are not worth the price?
What about for me?
Why not?
Would you?
Feelings more pure
There are so many…
so many emotions
For you
With you
You’re a great fixer
but if you’re tired & just need a rest
Collapse here
Let’s talk for real
Find a way please
Would it be ok just to these things
For real?
I’d say I’m sorry, too
Do you fear my voice?
Do you fear my words & sentiments?
Or yours?
Truth & clarity are not worth the price?
What about for me?
Why not?
Would you?

Unspoken yet Known
From the depths of alone
It’s your voice I hear
Your words that assure,
“It’s okay”
In the face of my fears
Your comfort draws near
Somehow I know
I am loved
While I crave the concrete
With evidence real
Reassurance I find
Still in you
For whatever may come
The promise is true
“______, I DO love you”
It’s your voice I hear
Your words that assure,
“It’s okay”
In the face of my fears
Your comfort draws near
Somehow I know
I am loved
While I crave the concrete
With evidence real
Reassurance I find
Still in you
For whatever may come
The promise is true
“______, I DO love you”

Friday night
You pick the movie
I’ve got the blanket for two
We’ll pour a drink
Let’s stay in tonight
together
Then…
Later…
On the couch
Like that first time
I’ve got the blanket for two
We’ll pour a drink
Let’s stay in tonight
together
Then…
Later…
On the couch
Like that first time

Santa Plea
I see you, Santa
Do you see me?
Am I on your list?
Would you light my festive tree?
Might I get a Someday Christmas wish
Come true? (The wish for you…)
Santa, did you get my letter
Saying sorry for the trouble I have caused?
I’m trying to be much better.
Give me dirty coal, I don’t care
At least it shows that you’re still there
Santa, I still believe
But, Santa, do you see…?
Do you see me?
Am I on your list?
Would you light my festive tree?
Might I get a Someday Christmas wish
Come true? (The wish for you…)
Santa, did you get my letter
Saying sorry for the trouble I have caused?
I’m trying to be much better.
Give me dirty coal, I don’t care
At least it shows that you’re still there
Santa, I still believe
But, Santa, do you see…?

……………………
The loss pierces deeply
As the missing eclipses all tonight
It is every part of you I need—
Friendship, love, passion, presence
The empty feels more
I cannot seem to rest my mind & body into sleep
With not a trace of you
Do you sense my glass heart bound to yours?
This lack
Empties me tonight,
Melts me into
Tears.
Come, we’ll hold each other close
Comfort my dreams
As I fade into sorrowful sleep
Alone
As the missing eclipses all tonight
It is every part of you I need—
Friendship, love, passion, presence
The empty feels more
I cannot seem to rest my mind & body into sleep
With not a trace of you
Do you sense my glass heart bound to yours?
This lack
Empties me tonight,
Melts me into
Tears.
Come, we’ll hold each other close
Comfort my dreams
As I fade into sorrowful sleep
Alone

Imagining your arms
If you once more
Drew me into your warmth
Held me close to your chest
If I breathed your comforting essence again
My eyes would well with salty sparkles
maybe a drop or two escaping
to write their story in watery lines
along my blushing cheeks.
I would whisper softly,
“____, I’ve missed you for so many years”
with my smaller arms wrapped tight around you I’d add,
“You’re still my missing piece”
Drew me into your warmth
Held me close to your chest
If I breathed your comforting essence again
My eyes would well with salty sparkles
maybe a drop or two escaping
to write their story in watery lines
along my blushing cheeks.
I would whisper softly,
“____, I’ve missed you for so many years”
with my smaller arms wrapped tight around you I’d add,
“You’re still my missing piece”

Sleep evades
Desire pervades
Missing you
Keeps me awake
Wondering
Why
Your bed in my mind
Remains empty
Waiting
As slipping sands of time
So the residual of you
Fades
Desire pervades
Missing you
Keeps me awake
Wondering
Why
Your bed in my mind
Remains empty
Waiting
As slipping sands of time
So the residual of you
Fades

Tantric Tango
I want to move you, Love
I want to move you in a tantric tango
known alone in dreams
Let’s dance, my Love
Let’s dance in flow with ocean waves
wild & stormy
Slip inside me, Love
Slip inside me hard and strong
full of passionate obsession
Lay your claim; raise your flag
Feel me draw you in
As receding waves draw the sand beneath your feet,
Fall
Fall into my dance
As I push you back, don’t withdraw
Press hard, press close
Push and pull of passion
Lose us to oblivion
I’ll move in ways you never knew a...

Weighted
Rejection slivers tears tonight
From this sad heart of mine
Aching thoughts reach for a soulmate
But your love I cannot find
Has your longing turned now bitter?
Is your love rank with disdain?
Have all your thoughts of kindness
Fled before the fears that claim
a place once held for me?
I see
No light
I fight
Despair
Tears
Remain
Is there no drop of hope
Of a repair?
From this sad heart of mine
Aching thoughts reach for a soulmate
But your love I cannot find
Has your longing turned now bitter?
Is your love rank with disdain?
Have all your thoughts of kindness
Fled before the fears that claim
