Sweet Fantasy

 

Awakened in a lover’s dream

a place that knows no time

Her voice keeps calling out my name

sweet fantasy of mine…

 

Searching for her everywhere

my passions start to flame

I’ve waited for this night so long

I know she feels the same…

 

Opening doors and looking in

at last, I find the one

She lays there with her arms stretched out

our time has now begun…

 

A gentle kiss upon her lips

soon turns to so much more

Her breasts are soft and beautiful

our passions start to soar…

 

Her thighs are tender to the touch

Her fingers brush my hair

Soon the pleasures take control

and love sounds fill the air…

 

Our bodies slowly now entwined

a rhythm we adore

Please don’t, stop I beg of you

her words, so sweet, implore…

Moments

 

I still have moments now and then

when memories drop on by

Your face appears within my mind

A tear forms in my eye…

 

Why do you still come near to me

for weeks I feel the pain

No matter how I deal with this

I know, you’ll come again…

 

I live in two realities

they’re never far apart

The one that time secured for me 

the other holds my heart…

So Young

 

An old familiar memory

a flash, from days gone by

the embers flicker once again

refusing still to die...

They usually come and then they go

but this one, just won't leave

If there had only been more time

so young and so naive...

Dedicated to Ms. Vicki Pike

When?

A melancholy Saturday 

I’m staying home tonight

I just can’t seem to focus well 

my heart has taken flight… 

 I feel that somethings happening 

as passions start to stir 

These thoughts of you within my mind

 and where you stand, a blur… 

 I know you feel the magic now 

 Where do we go from here? 

 When will the moment capture us? 

 When will it all be clear?

Face to Face

I still can’t see your lovely face

the timing’s just not right

Somehow…someway…when face to face

I’ll dance with you that night…

 

I’ve lived alone for many years

had given up on life

I held on to my memories

of pain and dreadful strife…

 

But something new has come alive

old chapters I have closed

There’s someone new that I must meet

my future then disclosed…

 

I've seen you in a hundred dreams

albeit from afar

I never could draw close to you

my past, a wrecking bar…’

 

I feel you looking for me now

that you are on the way

Another chapter in the book

will start for me that day…

The Magic

 

It doesn’t matter anymore

the years just pass on by

I think of you from time to time

the memories make me sigh…

 

I guess I’ll always feel this way

No point in asking why

The magic still lives on in me

sometimes I smile and cry…

 

The things we used to say and do

The songs we used to sing

The seeds you planted in my heart

forever bloom in spring…

Another Place in Time

 I know, somewhere, our paths have crossed

another place in time

A high school dance, a passing smile

when we were in our prime...

I feel I've known you all my life

a  thought I can't dispel

We keep on meeting in a crowd

and share the moments well...

I'm sure there was a time and place 

when we were more than friends

If this is only just a dream

I pray it never ends...

Facebook Lover

 So nice to see you once again

I'm always waiting here

A shoulder you can lean upon

whenever you draw near...

You never have to speak a word

don't even have to smile

Just let the words I leave for you

speak to your heart a while...

I'll keep you hidden deep inside

but speak of you in rhyme

If you still feel what we felt then

you"ll come another time...

Passions

You stir the passions deep inside

I can't resist your charms

Sometimes at night within my dreams

you're laying in my arms...

You make me feel alive again

the sweet things that you do

Oh Babe, you light a raging fire

when I'm alone with you...

Regrets

 Oh to pull them by the roots

and cast them far away

Nevermore to trouble me

oh, how they fight to stay...

Wrongs that never were made right

and healing much delayed

Sharpened by the hands of time

they're now a sharpened blade...

Saying sorry will not heal 

the wounds within the heart

Words are simply not enough

to mend what tore apart...

What can I give to make amends

I've nothing left to give

From deep within my heart and soul

I ask you please forgive...

Loneliness

 It's hidden deep within my heart

where no one else can see

An ever-growing loneliness

that always walks with me...

A sadness that afflicts my soul

I try my best to hide

I wish that I could let it go

how often I have tried...

Kindred Soul

Sometimes a kindred soul we find

at just the perfect time

Someone who helps to fill a void 

our wounds, they help us bind...

A rescue from a sinking ship

sometimes we just exist

They help us find what we had lost 

what we so long have missed...

A rain that falls upon the ground

so parched and cracked by drought

Our hearts begin to feel again

a flower starts to sprout...

The unexpected miracle

we thought we'd never see

The answer to a thousand prayers 

we whispered silently...

Twilight Zone

 It's been a long and lonely year

I've made it through somehow

When times were tough, I heard your voice

Just like I hear it now...

So many struggles every day

a captive in my home

Wearing masks to keep me safe

inside this twilight zone...

You always have a special way

to let me know you're close

Whenever I am faltering

and when I need you most...

Hands of Time

So many chapters in the book

a span of many years

Some brought joy and happiness

and others, stained with tears...

The hands of time turned every page

and closed the chapters too

One by one, I walked them out

but not the one with you...

The shortest chapter was the best

and loved it so much more

When you reached out to me that day

the hands had closed the door...
