for a minute or two?

watching from across the room,

too shy to ask your name,

but seeing you smile again.

What’s your name?

guessing and pretending,

dreaming of that first sight

putting me in the mood.

I write poetic lines

pushing tempting talk

to my thoughts every night

until you say my name.

Now that I know your name,

syllables come my way

under sheer moonlight

as we slide between the sheets.

A perfect memory will never fade

In wide open spaces on a canvas

Blending harmonized colors of lyrics,

And crooned that better love comes with spirit

Of singing your songs that called out in pain

Over a moment that can never be,

But you serenaded souls together

Hidden with a key that love can unlock

To tell the truth at the edge of the seam

When others tried to tarnish vivid dreams

With life’s addictions that so many shared

Through your poetic light that anchored care.

The lover in you has transcended time

That has forgotten how true beauty shined.

Life has no meaning or rhyme,

because you made me feel real good

when the lyrics touched with mine,

and everyday was brand new

under your halo of notes

that pulsated through my temples,

but purity left way too soon,

missing music between the beats

on the wings of a butterfly.

Whenever you’re away

The sunshine never stays.

Happiness is waiting

To keep you safe and warm.

Life is only a dream

When my heart screams your name

Alone inside my brain

But you shatter this pain

Over the crying spells

Of your burning image

When I can’t breathe your love

And kiss down these trembles.

Reality is void

Until you come my way.

You will be forever special to me,

Because your pure love evokes

Creativity gratitude for all to see

That our oneness will not remove.

Give naturally your request for love

That is begging to be with me

Untainted like the wings of a dove

Noted in the soul, setting on free.

This flawless love rings on my finger

Whispering never leave but linger,

Leaving my mind breathless for more

Of the strongest force in season’s store.

Love is forever special to me,

And my heart speaks you under the sea.

A dream pursued on a ray of sunshine,

And seduced the reality in life

That supressed my fantasies of you lost

In my fluid mind that imagines your

Beautiful vision knocking at my door.

A dream reassured beliefs in true love

Dancing to a flash of melody’s roar,

Building and bonding the feelings we share

To beats on my sleeve when I am alone

With stirring voice whispering in my ear.

As you walked out during broken silence,

I kissed your tears off a heartless moment,

But the promises walked with memory,

And a dream relived this pure harmony.
