Letting Go

In a day or so I’ll leave here
Packing all my heart can take
Moving to a peaceful retreat
A secluded cabin by the lake

I’ll be gone awhile getting retuned
Giving myself the time and space
Away from the reminders of you
Trying my very best...

Gravity

I’ve tried to stay away
But I never get very far
Your pull on me is like gravity
And I’m a slowly falling star

I held you in my arms today
You were upset and needed love
Despite all of my inner battles
You seemed to fit me like a glove

I...

He

You’re taking advantage of kindness
He’s been taken by your emerald isles
Yet he’s out there all alone striving
To lift your day, your night, your smile

He isn’t blind to what’s before him
You don’t see what he’s going through
Everyday he’s...

Skipped

A friend called me out
She said I obviously liked you
I couldn’t say the truth
What the sight of you would do

My heart would skip
Like we did that time
Arms linked together
Wishing you were mine

You like to say
That you know me so well

Beautiful Sadness

There’s a beautiful sadness
When I look at you
My hands shake uncontrollably
With what I’m going through

I imagine you and I
As I’m kissing your soft lips
My arms around you
Resting at your hips

We talk and laugh
About the silliest of...

If…

Had we met first
I wouldn’t of waited a day
To tell you that I love you
And give my heart away

There wouldn’t be a second
That a doubt would linger
On bender knee I’d ask
For your hand and finger

You’d never be confused
Of the feelings...

Stolen

Eyes of the sea
Pierced my facade
My heart’s been stolen
She’s left me awed

A magical smile
I’ve been enchanted
The way that I feel
Can’t be recanted

Strands of chocolate
In a cute ponytail
Swaying and bouncing
Causing my breath to...

I Need A Prescription

Eyes are glassy
Dizzy and confused
Clammy palms
Lethargic and bruised

Mind is a mess
Thoughts disconnected
Heart’s in distress
I fear it’s infected

I’ve tried avoidance
Keeping a safe distance
Only to be drawn in
I’m paying a penance...

Calm

The sight of her brings me peace
Her eyes the beacon home
Whenever I feel lost
Her voice calms me with its tone

The laugh she gives is magical
I love to elicit the very sound
She has the sweetest smile
When she moves it is profound

Honesty

I can be honest
About almost anything
Ask me what I’m feeling
I may even begin to sing

I can be honest
Speaking my own truth
Without any prompting
I’ll just tell you

I can be honest
Except to myself
I can lie to the mirror
Set the...

Mask

His smile is frozen
Hand painted in red
Eyes transfixed and empty
For this illusion he’s bled

He walks amongst them
Feigning interest and desire
Dressed the part to a tee
Yet inside there is a fire

He wants you to believe
Grasp on to...

Under

Under

A river runs underneath
Cold, with jagged rocks
Above a roaring carnival
The best on the block

Lights, sounds, and laughter
The magician’s greatest trick
Under the illusion
A heart in conflict

Beneath the joyous applause
The...

Shadow

Shadow

The sunlight bathes you
Cleansing with its living light
Your long legs and smile shine
Leaving a preview of the night

A sexy silhouette lingers
Mesmerizingly swaying
Your dancing shadow enthralls
I’m yearning to be your...

Inescapable

Rounding a corner to find you
Exhaling as my heart sighs
Anyone outside of us could see
What I believe is my best...

Crave

Crave

Twisted like a delicious pretzel
Salted and drenched in butter
You’ve come to crave the love I give
With the notion I could love no...

Please

Please

Hurt me to save me
It’s all I ask of you
Please spare me the pain
That loving you would do

We could be a testament
Of the greatest love
So please put your hands to my chest
With all of your might...
