Karma

I must have been
horrible and selfish
in my last life
to have to now endure
such tragic pain
The once cool and cleansing waters
burn my gentle flesh
like a growing acid rain

Plea

Silently God, I pray to you again
please send me someone's heart to know and love
Created from the softness found within
an angel's hands from somewhere up above
Patiently, I will wait the passing years
bringing pure faith, teaching him how to hope
Carrying burdens and fighting his fears
lending my strength when he's too weak to cope
Faithfully God, I ask of you once more
please trust me with someone's hesitation
To love another soul, and be adored
humbled by my reconcilliation
Honestly God, he's more than just a dream
I'm begging for you now to intervene

Upon Returning Home

You brought me back
into your strong arms
with that charming smile
and the reassuring look
in your sparkling blue eyes
that said softly
Welcome home, my love,
it has only been a little while

Your Songs

Please sing another song to me, my dear
Your voice becomes the mirror of our peace
Reflecting joy and love --it brings you here
Upon this bed where lovers' music meets
The melody and harmony will play
As skin to skin we synchronize our tunes
The rythm of our movements will not fade
And summer sounds will echo heat in June
This tango of our souls cannot compete
With hymns or verses sung in sweetened rhyme
Our breathless sighs become the sweaty beat
While passion's notes resound within our eyes
When you sing your beautiful songs to me
I know how perfect life can really be

Spiral

It seems my soft touch was not enough
to keep you here for one more hour
or less if I should ask as much
so now the night begins to sour
We talk of ifs as though we learned
to take advantage of the time
But live in hindsight overturned
and bury forgiveness inside of rhyme

Somewhat like my poetry
I feel even more insecurity
Goodnight to me
is good morning to you
And unfortunately recently
there are so few...

8:00

Around eight o' clock tonight
it surprised me, overwhelmed me --
that insatiable desire
to tenderly kiss your lips
And this whispered memory
wrapped in warm, searching bliss
found its way to my thoughts
lingering there patiently
waiting for your touch
I miss you so much
As the song of us
played in a nearby room
I glanced at the moon settling down
into her night's peaceful dreams
desperately longing for your hands
to gently caress my growing fantasy
I remembered how making love to you
was the ultimate crescendo of ecstasy

Once, Tonight

And now I know with tears I cannot hide
The place your heart and mind went for awhile
To write and write and write but not to bide
Your time with me until you saw my smile
I've been through this with you too many times
And all you do is hang your head for now
But someone else will always catch your eye
With better prose minus the precious vow
So now my pen resides inside its box
The hurt will keep its love and words at bay
Those words that gave us life will now be locked
The poetry in my mind fades to grey

Once, a word from you was like a soft kiss
Tonight I feel like nothing but a tryst
