EAST OF SUMMER
The hands of time are moving much too fast
I thought I was living in the present
Seems though as I am reliving my pastThe children that I knew so young are getting old
My muscles grown and ache
As my bones get brittle and coldThe places that I used to go are now demolished
Schools turned into parking lots
My senses no longer prim and polishedSkin once so smooth has become dry and cracked
Memories of yesterday fade
As the pain moves to various spots in my back
Happiness
I chased happiness through years through tears to this paradise
But when I got to it I found happiness was elsewhere
I looked back over the traveled lands that I had learned to despiseAnd realized that this elusive oy was all the time right there
My !if only"s# were a massive mountain I was forced to face
$rustrating my dreams my time and %uaking the peace of my brow
How wonderful it would have been for the anguish to be replacedAnd accept that I could have oy then and I can decide to have it now
That it was never dependant on how much I had in the bankIt did not matter how many cars or houses I owned or could sell&as not important what was my pay grade or my rank
Made no difference who was my boss or who was my personnel
All along it was simply up to me to make a choiceThat I had to decide to be happy and happiness would be there
To be content in the state that I am currently in and reoice
$or happiness is a decision you can decide to have anywhere

The light comes on in a hallway in a building down the street
A dog howls in notes that only the birds and trees can realizeThe sky covered by a dark veil though still you can feel heat
$lowers are silent and bees retreat from their ourney in the skies
There is an echo in the distant e'panding horizon that e'plodes(ightening flashes in the souls of all that are near by
The people are hidden deep within their humble abodes
As the ground shakes with the melody of the river"s sigh$ar from the borders of one"s heart there rages a war
It promises death and yet it gifts life and birth
Though some will be killed others will have eternal scars
Some will be planted as seeds deep within the earthThe roots will grow deep in the hands of fertile soil
The fruits promise to be tender and sweet
)et hands will be calloused from learning to toil
And these plants will be as sacrificed meat
That *ay in the +ark
,ivers caress the shore offering solemn empathy
In return the earth hugs the currents to show its sympathy
Together they flow for miles around branches and curves
-ach desiring to e'pand the borders they feel they deserve&e sit on the edge our feet in the cool moist flow
&ondering where are dreams and leaves will go
Skipping the stones to reach the other side.r fall short and are washed away by the tide
The breeze is calm and yet the trees gleefully dance
A melody a rhythm here in the forest of romanceThe creatures sing their own uni%ue sound
The peace and tran%uility of nature is all around
&e hold hands and travel to places we both have never been
And pray that this feeling nor this day will never end

Anticipation of Seeing )ou
&ill her hair feel like silk on the edge of my fingers/&ill the day after be satiated with sensations that linger/
$or months I have looked forward to this blissful day
That you would be in my arms and our kiss full display$or months only visions of you was in my dreams
Thoughts of you brightening my day like sunbeams
&ill her hands be molded to the grip of my palms/
&ill the presence of her voice bring peace and calm/$or months I have longed to hold you tight
That you won"t disappear and would be by my side
$or months been imagining the taste and the sweet smell
To listen to your stories and offering some of mine to tell&ill her eyes glow or penetrate through the many walls/
&ill her heart heed to love"s tender call/$or months my skin has danced with the thoughts of your embrace
*ancing and shivering with the ecstasy of the sight of your face
*istant (over
How can I feel your soul when your heart is behind closed doors/How can I taste your thoughts when your mind is on the 0thfloor/
There are delights that perhaps we will never e'perience together
And even a level of bliss that will not become a part of our tetherMaybe your hands won"t be enveloped in the strength of my grip
And my arms will never be tightly wrapped around your supple hips
There is a chasm that my spirit wishes to leap into your arms)et the distance is too great for it to escape free from dire harm
So on the oceans I will send waves of wet kisses for your tender shore
And in the wind I will blow sweet warm thoughts for you to adore
So in the stars I will write our love a million times in the skyAnd in the rain I will give moisture to our seeds so they will never die
Then I can feel your soul because your heart is always at my door
I will taste your thoughts cause you mind is dancing on my floor

Internal Attacks
The distant thunder shatters the borders of my aching brain
The touch of your hands soothe the ruptures so terse
1ile words travel through the river of my veins2erves cannot comprehend which phenomenon is worse
The winds will come the rains will violently fall
)et we will be here safe under the fortified roof.ur souls will heed the storm"s enticing call
And the contracts of vows will be the proof
&e can watch the violent clouds as they approach
The structure will envelope us no cause for alarmBut the fences the bastilles have been broached
The true enemy is in both of us to do harm
The seeds die only for a tree to be bornThat"s the way life goes
The heart e'pands to the world adorn
That"s the way love grows
The rain falls in torrents on innocent barren heads
+erfect day for a long movie lost in the covers of a bed
A glass of wine perhaps to ease the melody on the roof&armed by your touch held in your arms saturated by love
*ancing souls in time with the raindrops and our heart beat
-cstasy found in your kiss or caressing the curves of your feetThu0nder e'plodes shaking the houses firm foundation
The mattress sings we are baptized by the bliss of our fountain
(ightening flashes showing briefly the outlines of naked fleshBut invisible to the eyes and ears are the borders of bliss
,ivers and lakes form in the crevices of our yard
As sweat flows down curves and drowns our desirous hearts
,ain kn3ocks on the windows and doors an'ious to get in&e are oblivious to the storm though we dance to the rhythm within
Time is none'istent tomorrows and yesterdays are a world away
.ur only reality is the splendor found in the core of this rainy day

45333 puzzle pieces scrambled in the core of my soulMy mind unable to decipher colors and shapes is frustrated
Impatience and an'iety infiltrate to take control
(eaving my spirit in a confused and dire state$ar away lies the map the directions to make this masterpiece
It is beyond the black hill mountains and the +acific .cean
+romising love oy and insurmountable releaseAnd will solve the riddle the dilemma of these divided emotions
-lements of this skyscraper lay scattered in my mind
My hands tied to the post of procrastination and fear
There are no instructions or construction guru for me to findAnd no past successes that my soul can hear
$ar away an engineer holds the blue prints to the magnificent structure
It is beyond the clouds and the planet"s path
1owing to gift wisdom5 creativity5 and steady composureAnd will assassinate the cancers of ealousy vengeance and wrath
Her love is concentrated
2o water no additives or preservatives2atural as sunshine refreshing as an ocean breeze
So I take her in small doses
+ure and strong like the scent of a 45333 roses
Her love is concentrated
Her laugh still rings in my earsStories of unbridled lust or unforgiven tears
6ourneys that span the depth of words or the breadth of emotions
Thoughts and touches that travel beyond oceansBliss in every touch ecstasy in every kiss
But it is the warmth the inward beauty I truly miss
Sometimes I look in the mirror and see us in deep embrace
The apprehensions the fear that we both faceThen I see the me in her of dreams realized
Hope deferred and ambitions behind the borders of the skies

I must admit that I try not to have any preconceived ideas any large e'pectations5 but
having already freely and openly communicating with you that I did have some ideas
some hopes some e'pectations9 I knew that our conversations would flow5 I knew that theair would be filled with both laughter and intrigue5 I knew that the source of true beauty
would be your delightful spirit5 I knew that it would be comfortable talking with you5 I
knew that our conversations would be diverse and span many topics5 I knew all of thesethings e'pected all of these things looked forward to all of these things )-T in all of
these areas the e'perience far e'ceeded everything I had e'pected everything I dreamt it
would be everything I hoped it would be9 It now only leaves me an'ious and anticipating
our ne't meeting9 .nce again I will try not to have e'pectations yet know that whateverthought whatever hope whatever dream will be e'ceeded by your presence once again9
The atmosphere so noisy with words I could not decipher)et my ears were saturated by the gentle melody of her
$umbling with chopsticks while eating chicken feet.r being warmed soothed by the dance of her and me
A stranger in a different land yet at peace and content
That this moment in time was meantTo know more and see more and hear more my spirit thirsts
-'perience with her all these and many more firsts
Time was so short and so very rare
But even now I must reflect on your beauty and stare
2ot ust at the charming smile or beautiful e'pressive eyesBut at the wonderful spirit where the true treasure lies
-very moment no matter how long or how brief
The atmosphere was lovely far beyond my belief(istening to your laughter to your thoughts and dreams
Made me only more addicted to your presence it seems
To feel your hands your body wrapped tightly in my arms
Smell your sweet scent tracing the borders of your charms&atching your silky hair slip through tender fingers
The priceless sensation of being with still lingers
Time was so short yet no other e'perience could compareTo the oy of being with you like an answered prayer
Hypnotized by the conversations the delightful smiles
Still fills my would with warmth that spans the miles-very time in your presence listening to your voice
The atmosphere saturated with so many brilliant shade of oys

The sun appeared to be so brightTouching your hand turned days from nights
Although our passion on fire our bodies connected in sin
Being with you tasting your nectar allows me to see the windMy soul never before able to take flight
Hearing your laughter brings hidden charms to light
And though our touches would make the nuns blushBeing with you smelling your scent causes my senses to rush
The waves never seemed to have so much might
$eeling the borders of your mind framed my blissful plight
And though our love dances with the melody of sinBeing with you takes me to place never before been
The moon never appeared to be full and white
Hearing your spirit holding you felt so very right
And though others would condemn our making loveI can"t help but feel that even :od understood far above
Trees sag from the weight of forbidden fruit
My arms to short to reach the limbThe will of my spirit praying for seeds to take root
And lift me up to them
+assion rushes through the core of my veins-choing the rushing rhythmic sound
-tching caverns and caves on my fragile mind
As I an'iously await for the fruit to hit the groundMy arms grow weary stretching to the lowest branch
To taste the bliss of a fresh harvest
-motions herded like cattle on a vast ranch
Although heard to determine if I am cursed or blessed

There is a chasm of years between you and I
As if you were precious earth and I the sky
Seemingly never to be never to enoy one another"s touch*oomed to view the essence that makes souls rush
+erhaps there may be those who look at our love and understand
The bliss of our melody of laughter or holding each other"s handsThere is a time though that we oin in the bog
&here we dance so close together appearing as flowing fog
Then land and sky seem to become as one
The aged sage connecting the lively heart of someone so youngThere is a chasm of elements between you and me
As if you were the precious soil and I the sea
Seemingly never to be become as one
Tortured to enoy endless touches but borders never to be undone+erhaps there may be those who look at our love and blush
The ecstasy of our passion that flies and seems to be in a rushThere is a time though where li%uid and soil mi' so true
&here we dance so close hard to define what is me and what is you
The waves and earth seem to become as oneThe ancient teacher connecting the virgin soil of one so young
There is a chasm of seasons between you and me
As if I was winter and you were the summer"s free
Seemingly never to be never to enoy a passionate hug*oomed to be distant and void of the mountains of love
+erhaps there may be those who dream and see us and understand
That love has no concept of time when it comes to woman and manThere are times though when the summer like sun melts the snow
.r when frost forms on the windows of an August flow
Then the summer and winter become temporarily as oneThe weather worn sage warmed by the soul of someone so young
Mighty lions seemingly free in their gilded cage bound by the borders of the zoo
7hained and doomed to the distant memories of the African plans so free and true
2ot so different than us bound to our emotions that are hidden behind golden bars.ur soul cries our in lament for wings to reach the limit of the far away stars
There is no truth to the thought that our love has not borders around it
$or there are chains and moats that surround even its seemingly vast limitsSo like the lion we will room through the prison letting out moans and roars
But dream of butterflies and eagles which are gifted to fly and to soar

A hunger is rising in me turning primordial man into beast
7ondemned by fate to dine at this Barmecidal feast
Soul famished for both passion and love.nly fed by the sour raindrops from above
(imits placed on the unbridled desires
That burns the borders with roaring firesShe offers me a kiss and fresh uice
A warm hug to comfort me to a truce
Her touches merely add fuel to the inferno
Her songs invite the temptations to swiftly growThe time disappears hidden by fate"s vile thief
Stealing my hopes and harvests of belief
The heat evaporates the moisture up
+reventing my soul to give supMy mind e'panded as if added to yeast
2ow gorging on this primordial feast
+hysical beauty is a subtle trap that bids welcomeTo those who like me who are deaf and dumb
:uided merely by the passion and wanton lust
My will my path I loose my vision forfeit my trust
My soul lost in a stare yet my soul singsMy heart laments for such a fragile wing
There emotions deeply rooted inclined to swell
*ooming my life to be condemned to hellA lovely face a pleasant smile a shapely body
Is the drug that into'icates the core of me
There is a beauty so uni%ue and rare
That my soul can"t help but stop and stare
The splendor that delights like morning dewThis charm though is not so rare to you
$or every morning when you look in the mirror
Beauty splendor comeliness appearsThere is melody so precious and hard to find
That my soul can"t help but hoard it in my mind
The loveliness delights like the sea"s peaceful blueThis rarity though is found richly in you
$or every view of your facets it becomes clear
Beauty splendor comeliness appears

These emotions in the deep dark depths of my soul are born
(ike some undiscovered insect or some graceful white unicornBut like the heavenly star high in the air
My soul confirms that it is actually precious and rare
)et still in my life it truly e'istsThere are no plastic kisses or borders to our bliss
Shall these thoughts lay still and yet purge
The twinkling of a wish the twilight of an urge$orce my ears to cease their incessant ringing
1oid of the sky"s of the sea"s gentle singing
The flowers spewing the dreams of tomorrow"s fruit)et my tongue sadly vanes mute
A delight of rainbows dancing before me in paradise
But love is a dream one cannot see with open eyes
There are endless bridges with such pricey tollsThat offers no hope or salvation to bankrupt souls
)ou have what you feared or perhaps what you wishedThat from my heart you have been eternally banished
2ot a temporary dictum but one to span the borders of time
+unishment fit for the timelessness unrelented crime
A decision for the world to declare the earth to seeThe dark and evil wounding the vile treachery
2o longer will you have access to betray the land
The verdict is perpetual and on it my heart standsSurely I have forgiven you and no hate is on my tongue
)et there is no %uestion or hope we are done

The tears evaporated from the hear forming clouds in my skies.nly to once again rain from the corner of melting eyes
There was no path to peace and no salvation in sleep
.nly space to reflect the aching and to once again weep*eep inside my oceans are in tumultuous rage
The shores eroded and my heart can"t turn the page
In the caves there are earth%uakes that cave in the walls
(eaving emotions trapped without air in dark lonely hallsMy thoughts lay still awaiting to be embalmed
2o source or melody offered to make me calm
The well of tears form rivers that rush to the sea
7arving caverns and valleys deep in the core of me
In the love of you count me neither as last or least
In the love of you count me neither as animal or beast7ount me one who has sought your heart your soul to discover
In the hopes of becoming to you both friend and lover
In the love of you count me neither as draft or dreamIn the love of you count me neither as brunt or beam
7ount me as one who is intrigued enough to know the real you
In the hopes of finding of a love so uni%ue and trueIn the love of you count me neither as grim or grime
In the love of you count me neither as thief or crime
7ount me as one who is delighted by the melody of your tones
In the hopes of making your heart my eternal home
Here in this land that you have never been
A place perhaps your feet may never trod
But since you are in my heart you are with me then;nder the same sun smiled upon by the same loving :od
)ou are dancing under the same sun"s warm kiss
)our feet feeling the refreshing touch of the ocean"s bliss
The sweetness that I taste the beauty I see

)ou are there enoying the lovely sensations with me
(onging to be in your arms lost in the ecstasy of your kiss
There are no limits to the oy of our laughter
2o borders to the level of unbridled bliss*reams now confirmed fantasies realized
To wake up to the beauty of your smiling eyes
$eeling the comfort of the shower on our skinStill not as pleasurable as the touch of your hands on my limbs
&ashing one another"s flesh tasting the sweetness of lips
$lowing with the rhythm of desire tracing one another"s hips
Still with the boundless e'pectations that I had soughtThey all were e'ceeded by the reality of thought
&hen there are days that are pregnant with graysThe skies too full of pain even to morn
Horizon is obscured by the daunting hazeAnd time and oyful sunshine is forlorn
My thoughts are drawn to you
Then my skies are bright and blue&here there are days that torment the ocean waves
The surface too scattered with confusion
Horizon disappears and is impeding even to the brave
And distance and peaceful calm is only an illusionMy thoughts are drawn to you
Then my oceans are calm clear and blue
)ou hold onto my arm
And I feel like a king
)ou feel safe from all hurt and harm;s together is such a wonderful thing
)ou kiss the corner of my lips
And I feel such e'citement)ou feel the beginning of bliss
;s together brings such contentment
)ou stare into my eyesAnd I feel like I could fly
)ou feel you have found paradise
;s together is so very right

I saw the scars on your heartBut it did not make me scared
I loved you from the very start
I saw the wounds that were freshly healed)et it did not make me view you as marred
I loved you with each facet revealed
I could hear the past abuse you knewBut did not make me run away
I love you for being you
I could sense the pain you had to endure
)et it did not make me betrayI loved you for not being perfect and pure
I say the torment of your mind
But did not make me ashamed
I loved you for you as you accepted all of mineI tasted the sour and the sweet
)et did not make me place any blameI loved you for you for you loved me for being me
)ou look into foggy mirrors and see visions of someone besmirched
Someone wounded with no hope of overcoming the shame the hurt
$orever dirty forever less than any other person on earth
I look and see that time has not been kindBut I see you also as a rare and precious find
That these abrasions shaped you into a priceless diamond
)ou listen to your dreams and come up with every reason why they cannot come trueI listen to every phrase and become more and more confident in the ability of you
)ou look at yourself and see the dirt the healing scars
I see a kind and gentle being with a beautiful heart)ou see a person who won"t succeed but is destined to fail
I see a wonderful person with unlimited potential

I carried our love like a watercolor painting in the rain
-ach drop changing the appearance each gust of wind evoking pain
&hat once was a masterpiece of distinguishable figures and shapes2ow is an obscure grotes%ue abstraction of the blending of love and hate
The paper once firm steady and so very sure
2ow is mush crumbling with no source of salvation or cure1ivid colors now run onto the surface of the street
$orming rivers of emotions that rush away from me
The torrent rushes down gutters and into storm drains
+icture now eliminated completely by the touch of the rain.nly faded colors are left on the paper"s face
.ur past our future our love now eternally erased
It has something to do with how she holds my arm
(ike I am a knight 43 feet tall strong and leanShe is completely safe from all hurt and harm
And with me above anything or anyone else she desires to be seen
&hen I talk she looks so deeply into my eyes(ike I am some wise sage giving a lecture
She is able to see far beyond the borders of our paradise
To communicate with grace and charm her conecture
&hen I am silent she can hear every emotion(ike I am some transparent clean window
She is not frightened or apprehensive to the wild notions
But is an'ious to all the parts of me to discover to know&hen I am so very far away she still is so near
(ike I never left the comfort of her side
She is able to touch and tantalize though not hereBut her essence is engraved on my inside
Along this ourney I realize I have checked baggageIt is not with me at the time but still e'ists
All these stored emotions mi'tures of oy and pain
That when I get to my destination I have to pick up againThe price was paid for e'cess pounds cause there was so much
The pickup tickets run for miles but still folded in my pockets
&ill you wait with me at the carousel for me to collect them&ill you be scared when all of the porters appear
.r will you offer me a hand to help me carry them

)our voice travels from my ears to the border of my soul
Tantalizing every nerve with every traveled span
$eeding the furnace of desire with mounds of coalAnd evokes emotions that only love can understand
The meal only an appetizer to the sweet communion
,hythms of the band merely back up to the true melody$ireworks e'plode in my heart to celebrate our union
My eyes want you to tomorrow wake with me
)our scent into'ication the limits of my every dream
A touch of your hand delights every cell in my body)our presence here is like a precious sunbeam
My flesh wants you to tomorrow wake with me
)our laughter makes my spirit smile and dance
Touching my mind with such grace and beautyThe evening ignites this bonfire of romance
My ears want you tomorrow to wake with meI can taste the sweetness of your thoughts when we kiss
Intriguing my preconceived perception of reality
My spirit lavishes in the waves of perpetual blissMy soul wants you to tomorrow wake with me
.ur ceiling is gray and threatens to rain
7ooling the inferno that rushes through our veinsAs the drops fall on our bare flesh
It soothes our muscles to temporarily rest
+uddles of rain and sweat form on our sheets&e dance to the sweet melody of our heartbeats
Steam is emitted into the air as drops hit our skin
$orming the clouds warming deep from within(ightening flashes bouncing off the four walls

How horrible the state to face pages white with no penTo place ink to paper and not be able to think
Torture to be pregnant with lusts and yet without sin
Thirst like Tantalus surrounded by water but prevented to take a drinkMy hands want to follow my eyes to forbidden flesh
$eet want to cross the lines drawn in the sand
:rab what is not mine and fail the testBut get the thrill that temporary fills the chasm of man
There are dreams that fill the corners of my night
&hispering desires that my soul cannot admit
The songs the dances the wings to take flight)et the darkness envelopes the escape with guile and wit
(ies erupt in my heart and spew out of my mouth
.rchestrated by my will and wish to deceive
7hanging the compass my magnetic soul from north to southAnd casts a shadow on the things I confess to believe
In her voice is a melody so sweet and wise
That causes my soul to dance to the rhythmSeeing her walk is poetry in motion before my eyes
Sets my dreams on fire when she in them
In her spirit is a beauty so precious and rareThat causes my heart to sing its praise
(istening to her thoughts is like hearing answered prayer
And delights my path and brightens my daysIn her arms is a peace so warm and comforting
That causes my flesh to always desire to be there
$eeling the embrace sets my nerves on oyous alarm
And fills my world with contentment beyond compare

(ust and (ove
Thoughts are evoked sparkling on my mind"s sky like stars-ach word flies like drops of rain in this saturated bucket of trust
$rom the beginning the words have infiltrated my heart
And the rhymes have divided the borders of love and lustThese seeds that have been planted in fertile soil now take root
$ed by the moisture from the gray clouds hovering above
+romising seasons of flowers and precious sweet fruitAnd defining the fine lines between lust and love
Many have eyes but do not see and hearts that cannot feel
But in you I have found proof there is a paradise that is so realThat there are still those that can change the shape of my day
&ith a mere thought or wish that is sent my way
Many are the miles that separate your voice from mine
But in you there is a connection that my words can"t defineThere are not many who know what love and life are about
And even rarer to find beauty that is e%ual inside and outMany have minds that cannot think and ears but do not hear
But in you I have found proof that you can be touched though you are not near
That there are still those who can intrigue and inspire&ith a mere word or smile invite my mind to in%uire
Thoughts are sprouting like seedlings in a barren field
-ach idea soaring to new lands with every wind gust2otions like waves on the ocean with new patterns revealed
And show original designs celebrating the difference of love and lust
These pulsating rhythms in the air5 on land and sea+rovide the music that all in nature speaks of
-choing a sweet5 peaceful and priceless melody
And compose the symphony of the definition of lust and love

Mental anore'ia
Spiritual dysle'ia
My soul is ruptured and is in constant battle with the snakes of the flesh
Tears flow drowning the melodies of forgiveness and peace
The adrenaline in my brain is too restless to give restThis civil war promises to never give me release
&ar wages on the causalities lay on the side of the road
*ead and dying crying out for help grow faint in the distance
My heart struggles to carry the weight of the loadAs it offers warnings and announcements of resistance
-motional bulimia
As the volcanoes of thoughts and dreams erupt my heart e'pands
7hanging its surface5 gently or violently altering its contourAs the cool emotions and waves of e'perience convert li%uid into land
The maps are drawn to direct the paths that continue to allure
My words invent new borders that confirm the road signs
And her melody has found a home in the warmth of my reverieThe brilliant rising sun adorns the form of my fragile mind
Her rhymes baptize my fertile soul and plant numerous seeds
A new wind blows through the corridors that had long been forgotten7ausing dust and dirt to temporarily pollute the once clear air
But day will emerge when the space will be virgin to all that is rotten
And along this path of seedlings that take root I will see her thereA fresh rain falls %uelling the lava that burns red and searing
7ausing a fresh sweet scent to escape and fill the lungs in my chest
Her rhythm baptizes my world and has become so endearing
And has gifted my volcanoes my oceans my skies with sweet rest
Between )our Sa'
)our tunes mesmerize the rhythm of my heartbeat*ancing to the notes or ust laying here to rela'
The music flows from my ears to the soul of my feet
As I am here in between your sa'
Sweat forms on my brow my thoughts a bonfire

,ushing torrents in my veins e'pand my walls
My world spinning from the e'ploding desire
And every cell every nerve heeds lovely callsThe sweet dew that drips off my moaning lips
$orms a river baptizing your tongue with honey nectar
Hands trace the borders of our face and curves of hipsBliss swells beyond the concepts of our vast love hectares
The composition original as it is so uni%ue
Beyond my comprehension of figures and factsAs I am here between your sa'
Spent the night wrapped snug in your warm armsSurrounded by your beauty saturated by your charm
Tasting sweet dreams escaping from your lips
Tracing the limits of ecstasy along your shapely hips
Time goes by so slowing I wonder what is on your mindI"m nervous I"m could no peace can I possibly find
The words I sent certainly daggers and shapes that betray
I"m guilty I"m ashamed there are no calming deeds to do or to sayI wonder if you will call if you will scream with pain
.r if you will run scared while my tears rain
Here I (ove )ou
Im the dancing rain outside skipping on the window paneThe gray skies echo the colors of my soul when we are apart
&ind breathes words that attempt to stall my brain
But the fire burns thoughts of you within warms my heartHere I love you
In the halo of warm touches from the smiling sun
The bright skies echo the oy in my soul when we are together
The gentle breeze singing of the combining of two into one7elebrating the life the love the laughter that will last forever
Here I love you
In the rising of the sun welcoming a day so newThe horizon colors echo my anticipation of seeing your eyes wide open
)our sweet breath after a morning kiss from you
Beginning the passion and e'citement you ignite deep insideHere I love you
In the setting of the sun the ending to a beautiful day
The horizon saturated echoes with purples oranges yellows and reds
)our sweet breeze that blows away all the grime away

Here I love you
I desire your voice your touch your hair
$amished for the nutrients of your kiss)our sweetness even sugar cannot compare
2ever e'perienced such overwhelming bliss
I crave your laughter your skinStarving for the taste of your lips
The sensation a place I"ve never been
A virgin to the subtle shape of your hips
I long for your legs your arms your earsHungering for the succulent flavor of your dreams
I yearn for your wetness of oyous tears
+ining for delightful taste of your cream
I am releasing this starving scapegoatTo feed on the words lodged in my thinning throat
$ree to sing and roam on the paths of charming melodies
-'citing the sky to reflect on fonder past memories
My (ove
My love e'ists beyond the physical realm
$or if I had no hands or lips to hold or to kiss
My soul would still make love your heart to overwhelmMy love e'ists infinitely strong yet so fragile and tender
$or if my eyes could not see or ears not hear your rhyme
My soul would still see you uni%ue splendorAnd saturate your spirit with the treasures of time
My love e'ists beyond what one can taste or feel
$or if my nerves were numb my tongue dumb
The emotions the e'pressions would still be alive and so realAnd we would still soar and thrive as one

And delights and warm more than my words can say
The air is clear and the sky so beautifully blueIt is like a virgin paradise when I am ne't to you
There are flowers that bloom colorful and bright
&arm breezes that massage me deep within
The wonderful melody rings our both day and nightAnd the touch of your hair tantalizes my skin
The scent is so into'icating the taste so sweet and true
It is like a perfect Shangri la when I am ne't to you

The air grows heavy yet the sphere continues to flyThe breeze grows weary and decorates the evening sky
A meteorite aims for a planet"s delicate surface

A dream that lights the sky and shines through the cloudsA dream that lays the way for everyday without a shroud
A dream that promises direction and endless tomorrows
A dream that gifts reflections and dismisses sorrows

I can still feel your sweet breath on my skin though you are so far awayThe tingles still run through the core of my very soul

And the lovely smell of your skin saturates my weeks
I can still feel your sweat that dripped on my already soaked chest

The sensations that set my imprisoned spirit free
$rom a distance I can hear you calling my nameMy hear rushes and dances like it did when you were here
The notes of your thoughts turns sparks to a desirous flame
And cause all doubt all fear all wars to disappearI can still feel the warm touch of your soft hands
The tenderness still engulfs and holds my essence
And ecstasy and thrill that only heaven can understand
A paradise that is made simply by your presence$rom a distance my nerves get e'cited at your sight

The vile darkness that attacks is made warm and brightAnd you still introduce love5 peace and oy to my day

It lies deep within your heart on the way to your soul
However there are signs that easily distract
:uiding you with untruths that will attackA faint mind will not overcome the onslaught
And slow feet will result in you being caught
There are worlds that promise that you will growBut there is only way to glow
It lies deep within your mind on the way to your soul
(et me warn you there are those who will enticeThat your dreams they will demand as a sacrifice
A faint heart will be slaughtered and tortured
And weak thoughts will lead to a failed future
There are hands that will promise a reap for what you sowBut there is only one place to glow
It lies deep in your spirit and leads to your soul
However there is music that will hypnotize your feet
)our soul will drown in bottomless lakes of deceitA faint soul will result in I being killed
And flimsy deed will leave your life unfulfilled
-mpty Streets
In the dark alleys the bricks moan and grown with defeatBlackness swallows the night her e on these barren streets
The light post has committed suicide and died
The beer bottles e'ploded and with each tear criedAnts and roaches scurry on the aching concrete
Trash and filth fill the air with vile conceit
The fire hydrant has been emptied of all it had insideThe weeds weep for the sweet fruit it will be denied
Black holes sky a reflection of the neighborhood done and incomplete
Blood stains echo the rhythm of time so bittersweet
Houses an arena where good and bad collideHere the pain and fear is amplified
The fences have laid down their weapons at the curb"s feet
7itizens blinded and starved by the searing heatIn the vile shadows my dreams are crucified
And my very will grows strong and commits suicide

The delight of your smile touches virgin parts of me

Thoughts swim in my mind of you giving my spirit a liftMy mind is sure that it will come back for fifths

But your words tell me that forever we will last
My heart holds you dear and the fear ceases
