An Opportunity to Tell You I Love You

A brand new day
And another opportunity
To tell you that I love you.
A new beginning . . .
A choice and another chance
On this brand new day
To tell you once again
That I Love You . . .

I So Want You to Be Happy

I so want you to be happy
To have you happy with me
But it seems what you want
Doesn't include me
So what to do?
I haven't a clue?
But with each new day
I continue to love you
Yet, you spurn my advances
Not returning my love
But I still end up in trances
Falling more deeply in love
Yet, each day I wonder
If you will ever love me
Wanting to always be with you
Through all eternity
But each time we talk
You make it perfectly clear
That with me you're sad
And don't want me near
So here we are
In a sad, sorry state
Me loving you
But with you I don't rate
So what to do?
I haven't a clue?
Except wanting you happy
Wherever we may be
And with a prayer in my heart
I pray that you will be with me
I so want you to be happy . . .

Feeling Old and Needing Your love

Tonight as I write
I am feeling so old
Bent like an old man
With bones brittle and cold
Full of pain and an anguish
That tears me apart
As you reject my love
And dismiss my heart
Telling me your love
Was really never there
With an edge to your voice
That says you don't care
Which leaves me with emptiness
And just wanting to cry
With no reason to live
Just wanting to die
But I can't surrender
No, just not yet
I can't exit from life
Having any regrets
So I'll wait 'til tomorrow
To see what life brings
Praying you'll love me
And make my heart sing
But right now as I write
I am feeling so old
Wishing your heart
Wasn't so cold
Wanting to hold you
Needing your love
Ever believing in miracles
From Heaven above
Waking each morning
With a fresh outlook on life
Carrying a prayer in my heart
That you'll still be my wife
And of course you know
I Love You
I always have
And always will . . .

Last Night I Did My Best

Last night I lay awake for the longest time
Wanting to take you in my arms and make you mine
To feel your breasts against my chest
Holding you close as we closed our eyes to rest
And wanting to taste your moist, sweet kiss
Our bodies becoming one in loving bliss
But you were tired, wanting just to sleep
So I lay quietly by your side not making a peep
Yet, truth be known each night I yearn
To take you in my arms and feel desires burn
Wanting to take you in my arms and make you mine
Loving you forever and until the end of time
But last night you were tired and needed rest
So I just layed there and did my best
To not cry myself to sleep

Winning Your Love With One of Cupid's Darts

With just minutes away from bedtime
I wonder just how it will be?
Will you want to cuddle and make love
Or sleep on the other side of the bed from me?
In a few mintues I will know the answer
That I hope will involve a caress
Followed by some kisses and hugs
After we both get undressed
And so it goes with the way my mind works
Along with the workings of my heart
If I just had Cupid's bow and an arrow
I would win your love with one of his darts

How Loud is Silence?

Often there is nothing that speaks so loud as silence
And your silence speaks volumes to me and my paranoia
My fear that I have somehow made you upset or angry
Yet, I know that sometimes you just like to keep to yourself
And just be alone with your inner being and your thoughts
But in my paranoia and fear of losing you and your love
Your silence often speaks in loud volumes that scare me
Yet, I know not what to do, except tread softly
Letting the moment pass and avoiding anything sensitive
Although in my paranoid imagination I feel hurt
But I don't know what to do or what to say
So, in my silence I don't speak at all
Which leaves me to ponder
How loud my silence is to you?

The Warming of Winter

Winter is coming and day by day it grows ever colder
So as winter grows close I seek warmth on your shoulder
Seeking to find a warm place deep in your heart
Never wanting from your side to depart
Seeking to find a hot fire in your arms
Wanting the warmth that can be found in your charms
Seeking to feel the moist warmth of your kiss
Without you my life would be like a deep, cold abyss
So I seek the warmth of you and your love with all my desires
Winter is coming, please let me light your love's fires

A Mostly Silent Walk

This evening I walked with the one that I love
But our walk there wasn't much talk
Mostly just silence . . .
And it seemed that you had much on your mind
Yet, I was afraid to ask any questions
Especially those which would press any of the wrong buttons
So I occassionally broke the silence with safe comments
About such things as the weather and other small talk
But mostly this evening we just walked . . .
And like on most walks with you
I enjoyed just being together
Even if it was mostly in silence . . .

Kids - They Grow So Quickly

They grow so quickly and then go away
But they never stop being your kids
And you never stop worrying about them
Always hoping and praying for them
That their lives will miss all the pitfalls
Avoiding the mistakes that we made
Experiencing the best life has to offer
Finding happiness in work, family, and love
And when they do come back for a visit
It is interesting how they are still kids
At least in your eyes as you ponder them
And their lives and how they have grown
Often catching yourself almost giving advice
Remembering that they aren't kids anymore
And have their own lives to live
Not needing or wanting your advice
Although you still care for them
And love them like way back then
When they were just little kids
And your find yourself cherishing
Those memories and wishing
You could live them over and over
Again and again, forever . . .

The Love of Cookies

When the kids were young
We used to make cookies
And treats for them
But now they are older
So when the come to visit
They make cookies for us
Which in its own little way
Is a return of that love
Where cookies and milk
Brought us together
In an unspoken love
A type of sacrament
That we did after school
As we sat and chatted
Sharing love with our kids
And something, even a token
Of that long ago love
That they now return to us
And it touches my heart . . .

Worrying About Our Kids

Arriving late at night
It was nearly midnight
When the kids arrived
Although, they aren't kids
At least anymore . . .
But still, they are kids
At least to me they are
And so like any parent
I worried about them
As they traveled . . .
The roads were wet
And it was stormy
So I worried about them
As they traveled
Like I always do . . .
And like I always do
I worry about them
Including in life's travels
Because its my job
Its what parents do . . .

Folding Clothes Together on a Friday Night

Folding clothes together on a Friday night
Just you and me together and it feels so right
As we share the chores, along with time and space
My eyes making love to you as I look at your face
The glow in your eyes is enough to tantalize
Causing my mind to go crazy as I fantasize
Just being with you even just folding clothes
Sends shivers of splendor from my head to my toes
This all may seem strange, but it feels so right
Folding clothes together on a Friday night.

Legalities and Love #10

What of legalities and love?
Is there a connection?
And if there is
Does it include your affection?
Do the legalities make our bond stronger?
Or do they make our bond weak?
I pray there will be stength
What do you seek?
If there were no legalities that bind
Would you still be by my side?
Or would you run far away
And find some place to hide?
Regardless of legalities
I will always love you.
But without the legalities
What would you do?
As for me I am bound
By both legalities and love
So I pray that our bond
Will be blessed
Bt the angels above.
And as for legalities and love
My choice makes love first
I will always love you
Its for you love I do thirst.
So what are your thoughts?
Whats on your mind?
As for me there's no questions
Because I'll always love you
Praying to God that someday
You'll love me too

A Morning Kiss As We Part for the Day

I kiss you good morning
My lips brushing your cheek
And my first impulse
Is to wrap my arms around you
And climb back into bed
Holding you close to me
Feeling your warmth . . .
But its new day
With things to do
So I satisfy myself
With our brief kiss
And a lingering embrace
As we go our separate ways
For the rest of the day
Leaving my body and mind
Heart and soul
To yearn for you
And your touch
Until the evening

The Simple Truth of My Life

Without trying, I can't get enough of you
Awake or asleep, it doesn't matter
You are always with me, even when we're apart
And it has always been this way, you with me
And me with you, right from the very start . . .
It was love at first sight for me
Though you might disagree
But right from the vary start
With you is where I wanted to be
And so it is, and so it remains
The simple truth of my life
Is that I can't get enough of you
And I don't have a single clue
Of how I could live my life
Without you as my wife
Because without even trying
I can't get enough of you . . .

Cancun Remembered in a Dream

With my eyes closed
Feigning sleep
A smile comes to my face
As I remember your image
Angelic like and beautiful
Resting in the shade
Beneath a Mexican talupa
As warm Carribean waters
Caressed the white beach
And I lay next to you
Wishing I could caress you
As you lay there resting
And as I drift off to sleep
I carry my wish with me
Into a vivid dream
And I caress you
Through the night
In a dreamy sleep
All the while
And through the night
With a smile on my face
