• Were you with me tonight?
    I could feel you lying next to me.
    The warmth of your body
    so close, so real.

    Can you feel me tonight?
    Our passions together
    so warm, so intense
    that time stands still.

    Did you kiss me tonight?
    I know I felt your
    lips on mine
    as we embraced
    I could feel

    You are with me tonight.
    Together as one.
    You must be real.
    I know that
    you are with me tonight.

    Life's Intent*

    When I think of your love
    I smile from within my heart.
    When I think of being with you
    I wish we would never part.

    Your love is my companion
    when days are long and cold.
    Your love is my destiny
    when our lives grow old.

    To be your love forever
    is my life's intent.
    Your love is my endeavor.
    For you are heaven sent.

    The Nearness of You*

    My thoughts are with you tonight
    although, we are miles apart.
    The distance only embeds my love
    for you deep within my lonely heart.

    To understand this feeling,
    that I cannot ask you to do.
    However, please have
    compassion for me
    and this love I have for you.

    My sadness is for not being
    near enough to prove this is real.
    Yet a feeling of happiness
    for knowing that one day
    I will get to share with you
    the tenderness I feel.

    As I lay here my body aches
    for your nearness.
    I long for the sound of your
    voice and the touch
    of your skin next to mine.

    Just to see your face
    and to feel your warm embrace
    would take away all that time has given.
    And make this life of mine
    worth living
    again.

    Loves Senseless Game*

    Love is a funny thing.
    So it is said.
    It brings out the parts of us
    that we all dread.
    We have been there before.
    The pain is so real.
    It has made our bodies numb
    to this warmth that we feel.

    At least when alone
    there is no one to bring pain.
    Our aloneness has a love of
    its own in an empty kind of way
    A love of solitude
    a love to be free
    of all of those burdens that
    relationships bring.

    To try love again,
    what price would there be?
    To lose this solitaire feeling
    that has made the soul free.
    To fly alone no more
    but to fly wing to wing.
    This togetherness could be
    costly somehow it seems.

    But remember once more
    to that love long ago.
    Has there not been enough time
    to let your feelings flow.
    Once more to another
    who returns them to you.
    Once more to love again
    and be loved too.

    To share your solitude
    with another lonely soul.
    Together the two of you
    can make your lives whole.
    Two halves brought together
    to bring joy once again
    To the souls thought lost forever
    in loves senseless game.
