| Lying Next to You
 In a single bed I cannot imagine,I cannot dream or fantasize
 What it’s like lying next to you.
 In my queen sized bed,
 There’s room for two.
 A side for me
 A side for you.
 Having room for only one
 Can never compare to
 The feeling of security, of comfort
 Or love when I’m lying next to you.
 Your presence in my atmosphere
 Is welcoming and inviting.
 Embraced by your aura
 It made me smile as
 I thought to myself all the while,
 I can get used to this again.
 It’s like the puzzle piece
 That’s been missing and has
 Finally come to be fitted in its proper place.
 A sense of completion, if you will.
 Praisingly I sigh as your embrace
 Comforts me and I can safely
 Drift off to sleep knowing
 You’re next to me.
 I can only hope that mutual feelings
 Within you are present in each moment<...

       | Brown Eyes
 Brown eyes when met with mineCaptivate me by holding time
 Allowing our auras to intertwine
 As they grow like ivy vines.
 On and in love daily we dine,
 Feeling the warmth of the sunshine
 Then watching the stars align,
 Dreaming of ocean foamed shorelines
 While sipping the sweet nectar of wine,
 And laughing at each other’s punch lines.
 So how is it that one defines
 The feeling beyond cloud nine?
 I’d have to say indescribably divine!
 Oh brown eyes when met with mine
 The windows to a soul sublime
 Smiling beautifully and so crystalline
 Captivate me by holding time
 Allowing our auras to intertwine.
 To you my heart builds a shrine
 You will always be forever mine.
 I love you. 6/26 | 
    
       | The Way We Were
 Reminiscing of days pastOld feelings resurfaced
 To see the sun shine again.
 As my thoughts replayed,
 I stood silently as I
 Reflected back on a
 Once in a lifetime experience.
 It was a beautiful September day.
 The day we met and locked souls
 It was like an epic display of
 Emotional fireworks
 Mixed with the opening curtain
 Of a Broadway show.
 As I awaited his arrival
 I was already imagining his smile.
 The crowd is cheering
 My pulse built with excitement
 As the drum roll begins,
 Butterflies take flight inside me
 The music starts
 The curtain opens and
 I’m given the cue to
 Go out on stage.
 When I saw him, I felt like
 I stepped into the spotlight and
 The crowd went wild!
 We called out each other’s names
 As joy and happiness
 Erupted inside me.
 We embraced one another like

       | Forever Love
 Love is youLove is me
 Love is the feeling
 That sets us free.
 Free from our worries
 Free from our woes
 Love is what we share
 From our head to our toes.
 With guided hands, interlocking fingers.
 Forehead kisses and rubbed noses
 Draw us ever nearer as love lingers.
 Cue the closed door to the rest of the world
 Momentarily taking part in just us
 As giggles whisper and toes curl.
 Enjoying each other as we always do
 Because love is me
 And love is you.
 From every chamber of our hearts
 To the core of our souls,
 As destined as we are,
 Love never grows old.
 And as time goes on
 Each day becomes our past
 This undeniably true unbreakable bond
 Of our love will forever last.
 
 I felt it the first moment you touched me.

       | The Essence of His Love
 The comfort of his embraceMakes me smile so.
 My head rests on his chest
 As he reaches around me.
 Strong and gentle hands
 Capture the very essence
 Of his true nature.
 He imbues a warm and inviting
 Personality that shines
 As bright as the stars.
 Heeding paternal wisdom,
 Chivalrous manners
 Denotes an upbringing of
 A true gentleman.
 An abundance of
 Unconditional love
 Flows freely from him.
 An ever continuous outpouring of
 Spiritual and emotional wellbeing.
 It’s the kind of love that
 Plants itself like a seed
 Inside your soul and nourishes
 You as it grows.
 Truly this blessing
 I accept with open arms
 And a humbled heart.
 No second thoughts or wants
 Growth only occurs in one direction.
 Together.
 To put it in perspective it’s
 Like a tree that blossoms
 As it bran...

 Something went wrong while I was editing. Had to delete and repost. Every time I see youSomething changes inside
 My heart beats with wanting
 Awaiting your touch.
 When we’re apart
 Daydream trips to our world,
 Population: us,
 Increases palpitation levels
 Up to my ears overcoming me.
 I exhale with relief in
 The comfort of your embrace.
 A warm soothing summer’s breeze
 Blowing kisses from every direction
 Reinforces our physical bond as
 Your whispers of everything sweet
 Tease my inner ear.
 Smilingly I bite my bottom lip and
 Turn to you unifying our auras
 As we become one with our world.
 Emotions rise like the ocean’s waves
 And explode like dolphins breaching
 The surface when we’re together
 Rhythmic syncopation of beating
 Hearts silences everything around us.
 Nothing can be heard except<...

 Every time I think about youMy heart smiles.
 You’re so beautiful to me
 My soul blushes
 Whenever you’re near.
 My heart races every time
 I hear your name.
 The sound of your voice
 Is comforting.
 Your tender loving touch
 Makes me forget where I am
 Like there’s no one else around.
 When you held my hand,
 You took hold of my heart.
 Your embrace secures me
 So much so that
 I never want to let you go.
 We’ll never be apart ever again
 We share a love for one other
 No one else will ever know.
 Sealing the bond between us
 Ensures a friendship
 As endless as time itself.
 Our love runs deep like
 Still waters.
 And as our foreheads meet
 Your love becomes my relief,
 I am so glad I have you.

       | Moments In Love
 It’s been so long since I’ve seen youEven longer since I felt your voice
 Whispering in my ear.
 I miss the way you made me feel
 Whenever you touched me.
 Your kisses were so soft
 Like down feather pillows.
 Your hugs embraced me
 Like a winter comforter.
 Feelings that should never
 Linger like a lasting impression
 Does so anyway.
 Even though our line of
 Communication is blurring,
 I miss your text messages that
 Came with an unexpected smile.
 I try to suppress my feelings
 But it doesn’t always work.
 The more I try the stronger they get.
 My heart is breaking.
 The funny thing is though,
 I had my heart set on someone else.
 I didn’t want it to be you.
 It wasn’t supposed to be you.
 But when my fleshly desires
 Emerged from the depths of
 My emptiness, a wave of emotions

       | A Lover's Dream
 Secrets keptOf tears silently wept
 During endless dreams
 Of you while I slept.
 
 Searching my soulscape
 I carefully contemplate
 Each and every move
 And breath that I take.
 
 Careful not to step out of turn
 I steady my emotion’s burn
 Keeping you in my life
 Is my main concern.
 
 Every storm we endure
 Solidifies our bond even more
 Tabled cards keep hearts open
 And minds assured.
 
 Committing to moving on
 Every dusk and every dawn
 Despite challenges and setbacks
 Until life itself is gone.
 
 Now it’s time to wake up
 As my thoughts now break up
 And return to their rightful place
 In the back of my cerebral make up.
 
 Until I dream again.
