she looked my way coyly
I said hey she
smiled
it was on
I walked up to her
and said my name
what is yours
and she answered
yours
so it definitely was on
I kept my cool
stopped talking in case I stuttered
just sweated discretely
and tried not to be a fool
she was angel gorgeous out of
my league
and had come on to me
when she said two hundred dollars
I kissed her ear and said honey
not tonight
can you be here
again in two months
when I save that  much up?

As surely as the sea,
Will forever kiss the sand
And the sun,
Chases the moon
Indefinitely,
As the mountains stand
I'll forever hold your memory,
Though never,
Your hand

Beloved of the sultry ness,
Half wight, fully light;
dayspring of the morn.

Heaven's spark at night;
Mine rainbow in
Fiersome storms.

Bedight me with thy
Comfort, quench me
In the dusk, lancinate
This anxious soul,
Kiss me with a
Hush.

Quiet i'll stay,
I'll sit quite still;
To put mine soul
Inside thee, struck
By love so real.

My heart beats for you still
I'm afraid it always will
It drifts somewhere on the sea
Somewhere far away, even from me
I guess I will always love you, even from afar
Because my heart beats for you, somewhere, floating... In a glass jar.

Embrasse-moi lentement

The lavender sweet perfume;
A little too old for you
Though you were always more
Of a summer child
I seized you in a Winters night
Migrating birds,
Together we took flight

You crumble I know
Under a gentle kiss,
Not nips and grips
At such tenderness,
I value you sweet Delilah
With more than primitiveness

.   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .


That dusky lavender scent
Still draws me in,
The cuddliness of the years
Still comforts inward tears
And I never let go of you, my girl
That young sweet 16,
Who never knew love

Though all those many years ago
You played me for a security- false
It was true, sincere
I needed you here;
Now that you’re gone,
I feel myself disappear.

I've been scared of saying "I love you"
Despite the feelings inside
Searching deep for words to define, but
Nothing rings quite as true as...

Spending our time on brews, and screws
Your movements are divine
Moments build and fall in line, but
Life has twisted me in two, like

A pair a wings that streak across blue
Or the sun and moon that shine,
Like a pair of shoes out on a hike, though
Rough terrain may hurt sometimes...
Through love we'll make it through.

you're the georgia sun
autumn's breeze
glow in the dark
sundays
saturdays

i feel
like a sproutling
wishing
wanting
swaying in the breeze
until i begin to rustle

days fly by quickly
like leaves in the wind
but let's not worry—
together we can watch them drift away
time promises of more beautiful days
and by your side i will stay.
