As the sunflower awaits the dawn
My heart awaits your touch
Like the roses need the sunshine
And the lilies need the rain
I'd die without your love
I long for the touch of your lips
Without it I could not survive
As the day turns to dusk
I would catch a star for you
If only to see you smile.
To see my northern lights.

You are a sunset to me
With beauty emanating beyond my sight
And once you leave, the evening comes
Wrapping me in the depths of the night

I cannot do anything to stop you from setting
Nor bring you back once you leave
So I take every chance to see you
Cherishing the moments I could never retrieve

Sometimes I stare out the window
Looking at the orange sky
Wondering what makes a sunset so breathtaking
I guess I will never know why

It was only after getting excited, buying decorations, dressing up the house and inviting all the guests that this new never before known terror had dawned upon me...





...I had just arranged to have my entire home flooded with friends, family and strangers alike....







...And I have the worst case of suppressed social anxiety of anyone I know!

‘Twas merely a fantasy
A wild dream beyond reality
My imagination captivated
My vision held at ransom
For the sake of your beauty

Beauty that penetrates my soul
Diving to the deep waters of my heart
Stimulating my complete desire
Etched and sealed in memory
Mesmerized by even a mere glance

Touching you, kissing you, I’m in awe
Never could I truly envision
How perfect these moments could be
The earth waits, time remains still
When your body is pressed against mine

My heart leaps in your presence
Awaken by your glow
Dormant, patiently waiting
My joy hidden and reserved
For your love that makes me whole

You are no less than a queen
Royalty exemplified in your every step
Commanding my full attention
You secretly secure my heart

Your smile is my reward
Holding you forever is my aspiration
Squeeze me while I make love to your soul
Hold my hand as we journey till old.

A crum from the donut
A piece of toast
That's all it takes
No need to boast?
A scratch on the ear
A pat on the head
A quite "good doggie"
No more said.
A walk in the park
A ride in the car
No need to go fast
no need to go far?
Always there
Happy and content
A tried and true friendship
No need to invent.
