The Key To Sharing
- I Was -

I was asleep…awakened by the sun,
I was staring out of my window and realized you were the one
I was in the shower…I was getting dressed,
I was sorting through outfits in an attempt to look my best
I was making my breakfast…I sat down alone,
I was clearing my table and cleaning my home
I was out for a walk and I was enjoying the breeze,
I was seated for some reading under some trees
I was greeted by friends as I passed by the store,
I was captivated by the ocean as I stood at the seashore
I was deleriously happy…I was wearing a smile from ear to ear,
I felt the beauty of the day…even around this time of year
I was crying, I was laughing as evening came around,
I was having a drink…enjoying some music and pleased by the sound
I was on my way home as the sun began to set,
I was thinking about my thoughts that I won’t soon forget
while I was at work while…while I was out and about,
all I could think about was my one and only clout
I was at home…I was getting ready for bed,
I was staring at the moon…I could not clear my head
I was laying in bed…I saw that dream come true,
I was awake…I was asleep…all day today I was thinking of you.
- Stolen Memories -

A scent that I remember whenever you are near,
a scent that takes me back to when my heart did not know fear
the scent of jasmine or any other cannot compare,
to the sweet scent of your presence…the essence of love is in the air
I can smell you…I can taste you…I can feel you without a touch,
I can caress you and undress you as I feel you over-heating from the rush
I sense your temperature rise…dilating your eyes while I’m lost in the stare,
the prey of your passion, the love’s ever-lasting…I find comfort in the
moment our bodies lay bare
like waves to a shore I begin to explore,
hands eyes and tongue…unlike you have ever felt before
unforgettable memories…the scent has my heart swollen,
when you’re near I need to hold you…and those memories that you’ve
stolen.
- Precious Memory -

I tasted a bit of sweetness
without using my lips,
I touched a piece of heaven
with just my finger tips
I held a heart of harmony
with the most distant closeness of all,
I fell into the realm of completeness
I fell into a dream where I was not supposed to fall
I savored a forbidden fruit
wishing to relish the juices,
even though I didn’t do it all
I must be the one who loses
the taste of true I’ve never tasted
the piece of heaven that I cannot have as mine,
is the moment that I’ll always cherish
the moment I shall never lose in time.
- When I Stop & Think Of You -

When I stop and think about you
as I am lost in the middle of the night,
no memory in my heart
could be better than love at first sight
seeing your smile
without knowing your name,
that once in a lifetime moment
when I knew my life would never be the same
when others are too sensible
to notice a moment stolen in time,
I ask not to have the moment returned
I only ask to have you as mine
someone to be bored with
someone with whom to grow old,
someone to take a walk with
someone to cuddle and hold
some day we’ll meet
and these thoughts will come true,
thus I wonder if you stop and think about me
when I stop and think of you???
- Make Love To Me -

When I look at you I crave the thought of us as one,
together in a moment as the pleasure’s just begun
I hold you in my arms as we are lost in our embrace,
I protect you from harm as we lay here face to face
my body, your body…the moment is devine,
I am enchanted by your beauty…how do I make you mine
I am gazing into your eyes because you have me hypnotized,
the feel of your warmth makes my nature rise
the touch of your hand is the touch of your love,
so gentle to me as the clouds up above
am I dreaming or am I awake,
my body is yours for you to simply take
take me to your heaven…please take me to your skies,
take me in your arms…will you take me by surprise
take me to your room…take me to your bed,
keep me in your heart and keep me in your head
let me be your thoughts and let me be your lover,
let me be the only one you have under your cover
share with me the night…every single minute of each hour,
wake up in my arms…share with me your shower
lather my body with the touch of your hands,
caress me so gently like the waves to the sands
our ocean of love will extend beyond the visible horizon,
even in the sunset you will keep me rising
never to set until you say, “I am through,”
then it will be my turn to make love to you.
- She Has To Be You -

I wrote about “She,” my one dream come true,
an angelic vision and she looks just like you
the loveliest smile with flowers in her hair,
I was lost in the moment when I saw you there
I saw love in your eyes
with me there tomorrow,
I saw you and I
healing each others sorrow
when I saw your lips…I felt your kiss,
I heard your whisper and tasted eternal bliss
when I shook your hand I felt your caress,
I felt your touch and I knew I’d been blessed
I heard your “hello”
and you melted my heart,
I knew from that moment
that we’d never be apart
the moment I met you
I knew it was true,
I wrote about “She”
and she has to be you.
- Broken Heart Speaks Out -

If I choose to never love again
would you understand just why,
if I choose to never beat again
would you allow me to rollover and die
if I decide to let it go
and stay all to myself,
would you understand that I
don’t want to be touched by anyone else
if I isolate emotions
to keep from going insane,
would you forgive me in the future
for sparing us this pain
it isn’t that I am being selfish
I’m only doing what must be done,
I thought to leave it in your hands
heavy-hearted…I must weight a ton
I’ve bled an endless river
and been shattered at least a thousand times,
I’ve found the end and began again
but when will I have peace of mind
this inner turmoil tears me down
as it eats me up inside,
if I chose not to break one more time
I might get to love before I’ve died
until that day, should it arrive
if I choose to wait somewhere,
I’ll wait alone where I am safe
because another break I cannot bear.
- Begging Please -

Please don’t leave me
please don’t leave me alone without amore,
steal the sands of time
or the waves from our shore
or the moon that moves the tide,
and my one and only pride
please don’t leave me
please don’t take away my falling of rain,
please don’t deny me
my thirst for your love when I am soaked in pain
no matter what I’ll do,
I’ll be crying over you…

please don’t leave me
please don’t leave me without the touch of your
skin,
the caress of your whisper
that completes me from within
the soft look in your eyes,
or the way you sleep at night
please don’t leave me
please don’t leave me without my necessity,
please don’t destroy me
please don’t suffocate me
I’ll be cursed in this disdain,
punished by the purest of pain…

I’m begging you my love
I’m down on bended knee,
let the skies come crashing down
but they won’t come down on me
let the air just go away
I can live without a breath
I can do with all of that
just as long as you come back
I’ll even bear the flooding of the seas,
that’s why I am right here begging please.
- Inside My Heart -

Did we have to end
did we have to fall apart,
did you have to leave
this emptiness inside my heart
I know you didn’t want to go
but I know you had to leave,
I try not to think about it
because I still refuse to believe
smiles on my face
as I attempt to conceal this pain,
but the hurt is in my eyes
as the tears just fall like rain
outside I’m crying
inside I’m dying,
all over I still love you
even though I’m not trying
I feel emptiness inside
since the day we fell apart,
yet there will always be a special place
for you inside my heart.
- There Is This Girl -

There is this girl that I have never seen,
I never met her in person…yet I met her in a dream
I may sound crazy but I am a fairly levelheaded man,
Not often in and out of love…for love is one thing I cannot understand
I attempt to comprehend why I chase no other girl,
For some reason or another…I await "my one" somewhere in this world
While I may have conversations & I may enjoy a little fun,
There is this voice that always tells me…"no, this is not the one"
As a man I have my urges…yet somehow they are tamed,
I simply do nothing & I am not ashamed
No worries or regrets as I sit home alone,
The purity of what will be ours will add to the foundation of our home…

There is this girl with these soft pretty eyes,
& the warmth in her smile always takes me by surprise
Her hair is so natural as it flows in the breeze,
The scent of her essence always puts me at ease
There is this girl whose hands hold my heart,
Embracing me close to keep me from falling apart
Her lips are so soft…so warm & so tender,
Our kiss shared in a dream I will always remember
There is this girl who is a vision divine,
There is this girl that I wish were mine…

There is this girl who is in another embrace,
Her heart walks by & mine is just another face
He holds her heart & tastes her affection,
I no longer exist yet I praise how she gives only him her attention
She has been honest & faithful…& I know she's been true,
What I wouldn't give…to hear her "I Love You"
There is this girl that I want all to myself,
But She is the girl that belongs to someone else.
- Lovely -

So many words
to describe a beautiful girl,
in so many languages
that there are in this world
so many words
I could use to say,
describing why I wear a smile
when I see you each day
thinking of your smile
your eyes and your hair,
the beauty of you
that imprisons my stare
your fingers, your hands
your thighs and your waist,
your laughter and personality
are indulged when my senses taste
one word to describe
a beauty that’s true
I’ll just use lovely
because lovely is you.
Still Trying To Be Loved
