Come back to me

my heart feels so heavy
every time i see you go
there's a breach in the levee
can't stop the overflow

in your arms i am so blissful
your embrace keeps me warm
like a coat made of worsted wool
within which sweet emotions swarm

i want to bring you back
to the place we were before we said goodbye
and give you a good long smack
while in each other's arms we lie

i wish i could be there

i wish i could be there to ease your pain
my thoughts they are but just in vain

fly i will if i had the jurisdiction
to show you the extent of my affection

all day long i have had but one image in my mind
of a kind loving lady who's one of a kind

i love you woman, you can never imagine how much
i can say with pride that there was never a love as such

Love you till I die

I want to pick up the phone and call you now
but I'm scared I might cry
your company does things to me
I've never experienced before

Failure in this endeavour
will kill me for sure
not literally but
i'll be as good as dead

I pray that i get out of this alive
And love you till I die

Opening Scene of Twelfth Night

If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.

That strain again;--it had a dying fall;
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour.--Enough; no more;
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou!
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soever,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute! so full of shapes is fancy,
That it alone is high-fantastical.

Falling in love

why does it always have to be falling in love?
can not a man/woman rise in love?
foolish emotions that govern the groin have led to this oft repeated expression
'tis stupid to even concieve that true love can lead to one's fall

true love inspires
true love gives flight
true love eases the vagaries of earthly existence
true love makes one rise not fall

by now you know i'm totally taken
hook line and sinker
look not for logic in my actions nor words
for i am a man in love, true love

Amen!

Tears of Joy!

I have a lump in my throat
I want to cry tears of joy
Like a second mate that spotted
Land on the horizon & cried "Land Ahoy"

Many years have gone by
Seeking the bosom of a beloved
In whose arms I could ly
Knowing that I was truly loved

Now I have experienced it all
I am more than satisfied
I know for sure that nothing can stall
My feelings from being amplified

Ultra-light Feather-weight

Shed a large load off my chest last night
Feel as light as a feather now
There's wind beneath my wings, I'm ready to take flight
I somehow got here, don't know how

Struck fear from my mind as I exposed the truth
Now I'm the fearless Jaguar Paw
The reward is such a mellifluous feeling
That I never in myself saw

There's a tingling sensation in my hands this morn
Like I'd consumed some strange intoxicant
Such a high this is, I can't explain
There never was anythis as significant

As I revel in this buzz through the day
I wonder what I did to deserve this
For surely I never did pray
For such unadulterated bliss
