Desire

Your spirit draws me ever close

I feel your gentle touch…

A fire kindled in my soul

and wanting you so much…

The distance narrows evermore

and boundaries start to fall…

Passion seeks to justify

and soon we risk it all…

A force that cannot be controlled

Is driving us somehow…

There is no turning back this time

I’m way beyond that now…

Silouette

She dances in my midnight  dreams

a lovely silhouette…

Her every move ignites a fire

exotic pirouette…

Her face eludes my desperate search

In  vain I try to see…

This woman who controls my dreams

and her identify...

In Love With You

Throughout the day I thought of you

I didn't get much done…

Kept drifting off from time to time

strange looks from everyone…

I've fallen so in love with you

my focus is a mess…

You’re all I seem to think about

my heart you now possess…

I count the hours one by one

until we’re face to face…

My soul delights in all you do

I long for your embrace...

Root of Bitterness

Seeds of disappointment fall

my soul the fertile ground…

Roots spread quickly undisturbed

and darkness now surrounds…

Soon the fruit appears to all

the birth of bitterness…

Touching all the ones I love

   and causing much distress…

Cries for help are never heard

the war keeps raging on…

My anger takes a heavy toll

    and leaves me so withdrawn…
