As Time Marches On

The last day of March
As time marches on
Another month of the year
Another month almost gone
So tomorrow will come
As tomorrows do
And like every day
I will still love you
And even though tomorrow
Is the day of the fool
For me April First
Will be another day
For me to say I love you
As days, months and years
And time marches on . . .

A Lingering Goodnight Kiss

My heart skipped a beat
Tonight as we kissed
A warm and lingering
Goodnight kiss
And then my heart
Skipped another beat
And then a couple more
Before we said goodnight
And I whispered in your ear
Like I always do, that I love you . . .

A Love Hopefully Not In Vain

I was taught to not use God's name in vain
Yet I can't help not to exclaim
And hopefully not in vain
To God and to the world
That I love you
Love you with my all
All of my heart and mind
And all of by body and soul
With winning your love my only goal
Hoping and praying that it isn't all in vain

Warm Promises

A Spring day
Promising me
A sunny day
Full of promise
Like your smile
And your eyes
Also promise
Promises like
God's warm sun
Making promises
Of warm bodies
And how you
Make promises
With your smile
Your warm smile
And loving eyes
That also warm
Warming my heart
And to me
Promising . . .

Savoring the Hint of Love in the Air

Do I sense a hint of love in the air?
What is the fragrance that I can smell in your hair?
Is it true that Springtime ignites love's senses?
And will love conquer all as it mends broken fences?
The answers to these questions I do not know?
To find the answers I know not where to go?
But I'll trust in God and I'll trust in you
While I savor the hint of love in the air . . .

Your Kiss Lingers as off to Work I Go

We kiss as I go out the door
But still wanting to kiss some more
As off to work I go
Yet the savor of your kiss lingers
While my wanting hands and fingers
Hunger to hold you close
And so goes my day at working
With visions of you ever lurking
In my mind and in my heart
Always near and always close
Prayerfully grateful to have you
With me and have you in my life
And ever so blessed
To have you as my wife

I'm Off to Bed While You Lay Sleeping on the Couch

I'm off to bed
While you lay sleeping
On the couch
Yet even though in different rooms
You will be with me
In my dreams
You and me
Sleeping with each other
Our bodies entwined
In my mind
And in my dreams
You and me
Together
While you lay sleeping
On the couch
And I'm off to bed

Showing My Love for You

I try to show my love for you
In many ways
Like tonight when you fell asleep
On the couch
And instead of awakening you
I covered you gently
With a blanket
And then gently
Kissed you
On your forehead
Before silently
Leaving the room
Although I really wanted
To make love to you
But didn't try
Because I love you
And you needed
Your rest
More than my love
For you

A Morning Kiss

This morning
As I lay in bed
Still in slumber
From the night
You came to my bedside
And kissed me
With a tender kiss
Your lips pausing on mine
For just a moment or two
With you by my bedside
Just me and you
Sharing a kiss
In the morning
As I lay in bed

The Coming of Spring

The first day of Spring has come and gone
And finally, the snow is beginning to melt
During which time I have felt stirrings
In you that have caused me to think
That the frost on your heart
Is also beginning to melt
And that with the coming of Spring
Our love will once again begin to bloom
Just as the flowers will soon appear
And life will begin a new cycle

Snow, Snow, Snow

Snow, snow, snow
With March nearly gone
Will I ever see green
I miss my green lawn
Snow, snow, snow
Will it ever go away
I want my green lawn
So I can play
Snow, snow, snow
So very cold and white
With March nearly gone
So much snow isn't quite right
Snow, snow, snow
I wish it would melt
My lust for green lawn
Is sincerely heart-felt
Snow, snow, snow
I don't want a sled
I'd rather see flowers
In a neat flower bed
Snow, snow, snow
March is all mired
Shoveling snow
Is making me tired
Snow, snow, snow
Please go away
I want my green lawn
And thats all I will say

That Day Will Come

In my heart and mind
I know that one day
You will love me again
And when that day comes
We then can begin
Begin to build
Begin to share
Begin to love
Our souls to bare
Sharing space
Sharing time
Sharing hearts
With yours being mine
And as for my heart
It is yours forever
To deserve your love
My lifetime endeavor
And I know that day will come . . .

Tomorrow, Tomorrow

Tomorrow, tomorrow
A new day without sorrow
At least thats the plan . . .
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A happier day
With me your loving man . . .
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Its never too late
To begin anew with a clean slate
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A new day in the making
At least thats the plan . . .
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A happier day
With me your loving man . . .

A Chance to Begin Anew

I thought that today
Would last forever
A kind of torture
That pops up
Ever so often
When the past
Becomes the present
All dredged up
And then dumped
As it usually is
Squarely on me
But this time
Without anger
Or harsh tones
But still the past
Never forgotten
Just stored away
To be dredged up
Along with the hurt
That keeps hurting
And will for always
Unless forgotten
Somehow erased
The past forgiven
And the future
Given a new life
Of it's own
A new lease
A chance
To begin
Anew . . .

I've Been Humming Lately

As of lately
I have been humming
Because our Anniversary in coming
A day I hope to celebrate
A time when we'll share
With loving and care
Memories of our life together
And I will be humming a happy tune
With my heart singing a happy song
Because I will be right where I belong
Being held by your your arms

Kissing Goodnight

Tonight we kissed goodnight
For a moment taking me to Heaven
As I mentally began to undress you
Envisioning your captivating nakedness
Laying there between clean, crisp sheets
Your eyes looking into my heart and mind
Reading my every thought and inviting me
To draw close and become one with you
In a flesh to flesh loving union
A communion of fire and desire
But as our kiss soon ended
I mentally dressed you
Since you were tired
Then still hungering
Kissed you once more
And said goodnight
Still in Heaven
Making love
With you
In my
Mind

Returning Home from Work

Most days upon returning home from work
You can usually be found at your desk
So focused and dedicated
Working so very hard
At your own work
Mostly oblivious
To anything or anyone
And maybe not realizing
That someone needs some of your time
Especially upon returning home from work

I Wish That You Could See

I wish that you could see
All that is inside my heart
And that you could read my mind
And I wish that you could find
Some space in your heart
And that you could see
That that space
Is for me
And that you would know
That I love you . . .

Craving You

Craving your touch
Craving your feel
Without you near
Feeling quite ill
So next to the phone
And feeling alone
Feeling the pain
Clear to the bone
Yes,this is the way
I always feel
When we're apart
So on my knees I kneel
Kneeling plead
Kneeling to pray
Talking to God
Both night and day
Asking protection
Happiness and love
All for you
Blessing from above
And hoping beyond hope
You'll return soon
Praying our love
Like a garden
Will bloom
And all the while
Craving you . . .

What Can I Say?

What can I say
When each and everyday
All that I have on my mind
Is you . . .
No matter where I'm at
You are there with me
Always in my mind
And in my heart . . .
I can be in my office
Or driving across town
Or skiing a mountain slope
You are there with me
Always in my mind
And in my every thought
And always in my heart . . .
So what can I say
Except to simply explain
That I Love You . . .

Once Again it is Time for Bed

It is time for bed
And once again I am ready
Feeling dead-tired
Ready to fall in my tracks
Yet, once in bed
I'll be unable to sleep
As my mind and body
Will come to life
And I will yearn
To reach across the bed
To hold you and caress you
But instead I will lay there
In the stillness of the night
Staring at the ceiling for hours
Until a death-like fatigue sets in
And I collapse in a most fitfull sleep
Finally holding you in my arms in my dreams . . .

Missing the Kids

Your kids can be grown and gone
Having gone their way and moved away
Yet, they still have sway on your thoughts
And will always be able to pull on your heart strings
As you find yourself waiting for them to take time
From their busy days and ever busy lives
To call on the phone and chat awhile
Or take the time to come visit
Before old age takes its toll
And their visit is a sad one
Ending in a final goodbye
With lots of flowers
And tears shed
At graveside

Blessings 1 & 2

I owe, I owe, so off to work I go
Yet, I love my work and so would go regardless
Which causes me to reflect on just how bleesed I am
To be able to have work that brings me both joy and pleasure
In fact, it is quite the treasure of doing what I do
And then coming home to you and get paid for it
In money and in your love and kisses
Indeed, I am blessed by a God
And by a woman
Both who
Love me

Close to God on the Ski Slopes

Often when skiing
Be it in the Andes
Or in Wyoming's Tetons
I have felt close to God
As I have skied in powdery snow
Beneath the clear blue of God's skies
Feeling I could almost touch Heaven
Surveying the majesty and beauty
Of God's grandest creations
Mountains and Heaven
In holy communion
A union of earth
And of sky

Skiing With You at Gran Targhee

Skiing the soft
Smooth slopes
Of the Tetons
At Gran Targhee
Yet, all I can think of
Is me next to thee
And so I stop halfway down
A double diamond run
To write your name
In a patch of soft snow
Before I go further down
Only to stop once again
To write as before
Just once more
Your name in the snow
Along with a message
Of "I Love You"
And then once again
I am off skiing the soft
Smooth slopes of the Tetons

Remembering Cancun . . .

Tomorrow is Monday
And it could be a fun day
If you'd choose to repose
Without any clothes
And make love like we did
That summer in Cancun . . .

Loving You Even In Sleep

The day is over
It is time to retire
So I'm off to bed
To dream of you
And try to clear my head
And with said
I bid you goodnight
As I pull back the covers
And turn off the light
To get some rest
Is my desire
But even in sleep
I can't put out the fire
The fire I feel
Is fed by a need
To hold you and love you
Love's passions to feed
And so even in sleep
You'll still be in my head
Even when I'm alone
You're with me in bed
And in my mind and dreams
Besides sleep what I do
Is hold you close
And make love to you

Choosing Heaven Over Hell

Thoughts of hell fire and eternal damnation
Leaves little room for any elation
And for sinners like me who have dared to stray
The time is too far gone to kneel and pray
And since we have veered from God's straight path
We will far too soon be feeling His wrath
Be it in Satan's hell of burning fire
Where we have stoked the heat with evil desires
Or in a private hell of our own making
The end result there'll be no mistaking
Hell will be hell that is for sure
And the pain that is felt will have no cure
But God gives relief even to sinners
For in His plan we all can be winners
If we'll just fully repent and forsake all wrong
We can live with God where all His good children belong
So if God gives me the choice of Heaven or hell
Living with Him in Heaven really sounds swell
Which makes it easy for me to choose
For following God's word I can never lose
And so with God's help I repent of all sin
Choosing to obey all His commandments as my new life I begin

Saturday Afternoon Thoughts On Love

Saturday noon
Or a little past
It is hard to believe
That time goes by so fast
The afternoon sun is shining
It is shining bright
And as it shines
It brings my spirit light
And with its light
That shines so bright
My spirits rally
For the fight
The fight to go on
And never surrender
My love for you
I will never render
For my love for you
Will go on and on
For all time
Until all time is gone
And through eternity
This love will endure
My love for you
Will always be sure
So even though
The time goes by fast
I will love you forver
Or even a little past

Home Alone on a Saturday Morning

Saturday morning and I'm home alone
Sitting here with tear filled eyes
And I'm not quite sure why
But here I sit all alone
Sobbing my eyes out
Going crazy for sure
Going crazy without a doubt
Sitting here with tear filled eyes
Home all alone on a Saturday morning

Dreams of You Loving Me

Another night
I'm dead tired
Yet, I can't sleep
As I lay next to you
While you lay sleeping
Finding myself wide awake
Daring not to touch or disturb
Yet, yearning to touch and caress
And to hold you tenderly and kiss you
In my mind making passionate love to you
Wondering, hoping and praying that someday
You will love me and want me in the same way
That I love and want you and even need you
And so I lay sleeplessly awake
Like I do on most nights
In quiet self-torment
Waiting for sleep
To bring relief
With dreams
Of you loving me . . .

To Be Trusted and Loved

Someone once said that it is better to be trusted than to be loved
If so, I can only surmise that it would be even better to be both . . .
That is to say, better to be both trusted and loved
And so each day I try my best to win your trust
So that someday I can also win your love
And you will hold me in your arms
As you once did long ago
And sincerely tell me
That you love me

Hungering for A Kiss

Your lips . . .
I hunger for your lips
Hungering for how they part
When our lips meet and you kiss me
That is what I miss when we're apart
And that is what I'm missing now
As I hunger for your lips
And the sweet taste
Of your kiss . . .

Island Memories

Listening to a medley of Jimmy Buffet and the Beach Boys
I find myself growing nostalgic for Pacific Island beaches
As my mind reaches for memories of far-off and exotic locales
Remembering how the mostly pristine jungles caressed the lagoons
With my taste buds yearning for fresh grilled tuna and mahi mahi
Complimented by mango salsa and some refreshing coconut juice
Followed by a relaxing hammock nap next to the one I love
And to think that we were there living in a virtual Eden
Of green, lush jungles, sandy beaches and blue lagoons
A paradise that most people only dream of visiting
And where we visit now through nostalgic memories
Prompted by Jimmy Buffet and Beach Boys music . . .

Time - The Relentless Thief

Second by second, minute by minute
The hands of the clock on the wall
Ticking off the hours one by one
As time moves on without stopping
Ticking me off as I get older
Realizing that time stops for no one
Not even for a short pause or rest
Just tick, tick. ticking away
Night and day, and day and night
Relentlessly stealing life from us
Time being a thief that can't be stopped
As the hands of the clock on the wall
Tick off me and the hours one by one
Second by second, minute by minute . . .

Tonight I Want to Garden . . .

Tonight . . .
You make me want to garden
And to find a furrow
That is deep and moist
Where I can plant my seed
And it is you my love
The only one
Who can meet this need
And fill my desire
To garden with tenderness
And with love and fire
In your very private garden
As your very private gardener . . .

Awaiting Dreams While You Lay Sleeping

It is late and I'm home after a long day
Only to find you in our bed sleeping
You also having had a long and tiring day
Still, I yearn for the warmth of your body
Wanting to wrap my arms and legs around you
Wanting to make passionate love to you
But instead will crawl silently into bed
Laying as close to you as I possibly can
Without disturbing and awakening you
Being left to hold you and make love to you
In my mind as I stare off into the darkness
Awaiting dreams where we will hold each other
And make love throughout the night . . .

Another Day and a Labor of Love

As they say, whoever "they" are
"Another day, another dollar"
And the day is now mostly over
The sun having set for the day
And I am once again home to rest
But more important than resting
To be with you and near you
Until it is time to go to sleep
And then I'll still be with you
In my dreams until the morning
When I will awaken and lay in bed
Caressing you thenderly with my eyes
While you lay next to me sleeping
As the sun rises as it always does
And I have to get ready for work
To do what "they" say I must do
Making another dollar for the new day
In a labor of love . . .

I Am a Man Possessed, A Man In Love

I am a man who is possessed
I lay myself prostrate before you
In total submission and adoration
With a big heart that is full of love
With you in my each and every thought
Seeing you even when my eyes are closed
Your image forever imprinted on my mind
Seeing your image by day with my eyes
When I am with you at your side
And in my mind's eye when apart
Then at nighttime in dreams
Dreams that embrace me
In a nighttime worship
Where I lay prostrate
A man possessed
A man in love
With you . . .

You Are A Holy Grail

If I had no religion
And if there were no God
I would still be religious
For you would be my religion
As even now you are a goddess to me
Daily finding myself worshiping you
With each day that we are together
Being my holy day of worship
Your kisses my sacrament
Your bed most sacred
Like a holy temple
Your sensual body
Where I worship
My Holy Grail

I'll Never Say Die

Sometimes I may cry
But I'll never say die
My love for you will always live
A love that will grow and go on and on
A love that will grow and give
No, I'll never day die
As I continue to try
To be the best that I can be
So I can merit your love
Winning a place in your heart
A place where you'll have love for me
But until then I may sometimes cry
But I'll never,ever say die . . .

A Day and Nighttime Full

The day has been full
And so is my heart
Full of love for you
So full in fact
That my every thought
Was of my love for you
And now its time
To rest and sleep
A nighttime also full
Full of dreams
Where you're my Queen
Forever my heart to rule!

With the Setting of the Sun There is Light

With the setting of the sun
Another day is almost done
And so I sit to contemplate
In the darkness of the night
To ruminate and meditate
In a room thats void of light
And as I ruminate and meditate
The passing of another day
I find myself upon on my knees
As I close my eyes to pray
And in my prayer of prayers
I pray to God above
That you'll find the answers
To all your prayers
Including happiness and love
Yet, even in the darkness
In the stillness of the night
God blesses me with calmness
That makes my nighttime bright
For I know without a single doubt
There is a place in your heart for me
A feeling that makes me want to shout
With happiness and with glee
For I know that deep within your heart
There is a love that grows and grows
A love that fills my entire being
From my head down to my toes
And so even with the passing of the day
On this day thats almost done
The darkened room where I sit and write
Is full of light
Even with the setting of the sun.

Some Midnight Thoughts

It is past midnight. Way past the bewitching hour. And here I sit writing to you and about the thoughts that run through my mind regardless of whether I am awake or asleep. A kind of obession that finds it's roots in a desire that burns within me like a fire. A desire that you could come to read my most inner-thoughts about us, and is you and me. I believe that you know that I love you and maybe that is all that keeps you around and keeps you from not just packing your bags and leaving. But I would like to think that down deep, somewhere deep in your heart, and in your mind and in your soul, there is maybe just a small speck of love that is left-over from the time not so long ago that you really did love me. And so I sit here writing to you, trying make some sense of all the thoughts that are running through my mind at this bewitching hour, just past midnight. All all the while keep myself from going crazy . . .
