Why
I asked her why.
Why do you make me cry?
Why do you make me smile?
Every time you speak to me.
Why don't you leave me be?
To whither away in my misery.
Why don't you set me free?
Why haven't you given up on me?
What have I done to you?
To make you fall in love with me.
What do you see in me?
A hollow shell in an endless sea.
How can I make you see?
That you've got the wrong tree.
And she answered back....
Because you are my life,
through turmoil and...

Unconditional love
A beagle who never barked
Gave the best sloppy kisses
Too curious for his own good
Shoulda been a cat

Life's a bitch
A husband & wife living in Boston had been married for over 25 years. He faithfully visited his wife in the hospital everyday, where she laid in a coma for several months in 1985 with little hope for recovery. Distraught over the loss of his longtime companion, the husband committed suicide in their home. Hours later, his wife woke up!

Carnal Crimes
Too many times
You have hijacked
My heart
Kicked it around
Torn it apart
Commiting Grand Larceny
With each new start
You trampled on
this nearly shattered heart
I don't need your attitude
It leaves me cold
Just like your
so called platitudes
There's no evidence
Left behind
Of all of your
carnal crimes
My neediness trips
Me up each time
Leads me off course
Fills me with such
Dreadful remorse
Now, I can...

Turbulent
Weather my unknown.
Search my soul's deep churning sea.
Love is turbulent.
Search my soul's deep churning sea.
Love is turbulent.

I saw your heart tonight
when it skipped onto the stage;
having never played the role before;
it was fluttering and excited.
The ethos was beyond Thespianism,
the lines were divine, terrestrial
you invited me on to the stage
our eyes locked like two magnets
Our hearts embraced for a magicsl dance,
fused by passion and bodies becoming one ;
the celestial music was new, erotic
having never been played before.
As our lips slowly touched
fireworks envied by pyrotechnics exploded
a million brilliant colors engulfed us ...

Elizabelle the becoming
you finally told the men I've been spread thin
your rejection stings Lu, Lu I'm not a child anymore
and neither are you
a man of the heavens and the worlds
I need my logical Son
not the one bent on tragedy for me
where I burn on a cross and in the end the vampires are set ablaze too
because one of my visions frightened you
you lit us on fire and code locked the door
and took off in space craft
it took forever for Daddy to heal my scars
but I'm glad you finally felt guilty and told Him
despite both of your...

Revelation
I saw a shooting star
before the sun had risen
I wished for us, near or far
to holdfast our intuition
I closed my eyes and saw
upon that inhaled moment
contentment of our hearts
a vulnerable exposure
and dreary days consoled
snuggled up under blankets
our hands together fold
into cashed-in rain checks
for that’s how love becomes
while the birds pluck the worm
and the bees dutifully buzz
I’ll be your only girl
before the sun had risen
I wished for us, near or far
to holdfast our intuition
I closed my eyes and saw

contentment of our hearts

and dreary days consoled
snuggled up under blankets
our hands together fold
into cashed-in rain checks
for that’s how love becomes
while the birds pluck the worm
and the bees dutifully buzz
I’ll be your only girl

Butterflies
i am blessed to
have met you
My Lion King
you gorgeous
beautiful being
YOU make the
butterflies in my
belly go crazy
ever since our
very first date
You, yes you
make me feel
like a teenager
at freaking forty 8

I Know Not
The constancy of your love
Has confounded me from the beginning
Having never sought it
Why would you give it so freely
In very small increments
The nature of my thoughts turned
An unrequited love was let go
A new trajectory set its path
Of all the minutes in a day
And all the days in a year
Never did you miss an opportunity
To tell me you loved me
My mind set to wonder
How would I carry on if you left
I know not
Has confounded me from the beginning
Having never sought it
Why would you give it so freely
In very small increments
The nature of my thoughts turned
An unrequited love was let go
A new trajectory set its path
Of all the minutes in a day
And all the days in a year
Never did you miss an opportunity
To tell me you loved me
My mind set to wonder
How would I carry on if you left
I know not

Flash Love
I give you my soul… daily
You take it and massage it
You know when I’m hurting
Then you say the perfect things
The words that allow me to come back..
To you
Even stronger than before
I live for that
You take it and massage it
You know when I’m hurting
Then you say the perfect things
The words that allow me to come back..
To you
Even stronger than before
I live for that
