Acknowledgments
I write these passages in moments of thought
shared with people that I know or people I recently
met. Each verse rolls from my being as it is drawn
To my offspring... from me by the spirit of the person sharing the
May your days be long in the communication.
I wish to thank all the souls that helped in this
experience of joy process. I wish to thank the spirit realm for choosing
me as a vessel of expression.
My mother means a lot to me. Here in the public,
I acknowledge your strength, your perseverance, your
resolve to bring me into the world and to raise me at
great personal cost. Thank you. I hope that the lessons
you have learned through me are as meaningful as the
lessons I have learned through you.
My Father and my Dad. As I get older, wiser and
gain experience, I see both of you differently, clearly. I
humbly acknowledge each of you for your part in my
creation. Thank you for showing me in your particular
way that life is what you make of it and that
enjoyment comes in the flavor of your own choosing.

WHY
I AM FREE
why... do you want the light of my fire to burn
your house with the flame of together I am in your world in a way you cannot see
why... do you not see that I am in your life forever I am a part of you so that away I’ll never be
why... can’t we share the dream that we dream each I am you and if you look you will know that you

night alone are me
why... don’t you see the shadow that is me within touch me like ‘I want to be’ and your heart will
your home then be ‘I am free’

EVERY THING FROM NO THING
DESTINY
there is no thing that I want more
than for your heart to feel the joy
the joy of oneness with my soul
you will know in time that you can have me...
the road that we travel
every single time you are supposed to have me...
to reach realization
every moment that you are supposed to be with
turns around corners and
& &
me...
crosses jubilation
for the rest of your life.
up and down it seems to go
but straight is the line
I am here for you knowing
every thing in time

ALONE IN A CROWD
Sitting here alone. People all around me not YOUR AWAKENING
noticing my thoughts. Thoughts of you standing by
my side sharing life and love.
Dripping from the lips between your legs
A crowd surrounds me with lost glances and vacant words to acknowledge
stares. Individuals looking my way, seeing nothing but my tongue’s warm embrace
emptiness, they quickly turn their heads in hopes I
won’t notice. on a quiet night alone
under the stars shining into
Did they see the sadness of their own heart in my the darkness of your soul
reflection? Do they know that I cannot connect to
them because they will not connect to me? feeling the passion of
& &
a moment’s fire
I stare deep into their passing faces looking for an quenching the thirst for creation
emotion I can recognize. Looking for a hint of joy.
Animated faces hide most of the pain, but I see truth wide, i spread your gates of acceptance
when they turn back to their lives. hard, i slide easily
into the crevice of knowledge
They are alone like me, I recognize it. Crowds of
dreams waiting to be lived. Crowds of loves lost. wet, you moisten the staff of penetration
Crowds of ideas they cannot share with others. at the entrance, collapsed
in the heat of your awakening
Alone at the center of awareness, a pure heart is
waiting, watching life pass by in a crowd without you.

BIRTH
POPCORN Part of me in he
Part of me in she
Looking in, deciding to be
Standing in the sun A part of their reality
Why don’t you run
Rays of light shining down How you smile... your style
Banging your head Intense mind... and you’re fine
You ain’t dead Creative ability to share with me
A moment created so that
Breathe the air of freedom you could conceive me
To be
What it is you want to see Growing to be what I am to be
& &
Inside of thee
Dancing in the reasons for existence Experiencing you as me
Skip that beat again Sharing your name – your shame
Don’t you understand Feeling your pain... weight gain
Feel the rhythm
It is your soul So proud... screaming out loud
A father to be on a cloud
From form to form
Changing every day Him I do not know
Like the kernel with a little heat But in me he will show
popcorn His style and flair will always be there
DNA is there in what I share

A KISS

down...
SINGING STARS
the taste of your lips on me would not make a
i look at your image and i see...
frown
a star waiting on reality
a vision of beauty, that could be more,
a cheerful smile i am sure is what you’d get
but for some reason won’t open the door
if your mind on me would rest
i stand before you and then i say
your mind that speaks of images pure

maybe tonight... oneness experienced with all things
it is a most powerful thing to love...but few if any
actually have experienced it outside of the womb....
35 36

but only in sharing of its essence will it know the true FEELING ME
color of itself
Feel me inside you, for i am with you always
can I find the part of you that seeps into my dreams
when I walk amongst the stars I will encounter you in your dream

day
a day that you have yet to live,
... a day you have lived for
41 42
TASTING THE FANTASY
you don’t know if i am sweet or not.... DEFINE ME
you are only tasting the crust of the pie
I search for definition
I expose my shell to those who would crack it not
from this little bit
an egg... with life beginnings inside
can you tell if i have a warm center
an embryo of what...
& &
or what’s inside
fertilized...?
... maybe ice cream is the flavor of the day...
I search for definition
43 44
SMILE
smile... SEE THE LIGHT
smile...
smile... I am the light
that is how you protect your heart...
I am here to help you grow... but you have to follow it in darkness
that is the gift of what i know
& &
don’t be mesmerized by the clothing of my soul because you won’t open your eyes to see
the body is no more than a tool
be enlightened by my deeds
be enhanced by the seeds
the seeds should grow inside your soul
to bloom one day before you grow old
into the flower that you truly are
not the victim of your own cage
45 46
MOON SHADOW
I am the man in the moon
I glow with the reflection of your sun
I am full only when I am not occluded by the mass
of earth that tries to ground me in practicality
I hover in your sky as the fantasy you build your
AS IT IS dreams upon
I am the color of Gold, a precious metal
Since all that is, “is as it should be”, A precious medal to hang upon your mantle of
that your heart beats faster means success
it was beating too slow and I am nothing without the definition you give to
me
that your pressure went up meant...you know, I wait for you to trace my passage inside your
that having my words touch you reality
& &
in the way that they did was all that you needed... And walk along in the light of our sky together
to experience the bliss, but some day... Into the life of the one that rises each day a star…
maybe soon, I will stand beside you and The sun relaxes its rays to allow the shining bright
catch that kiss... of the light
The light which emanates from your heart.
Reflected upon the moon each night is the glow of
the earth’s star,
But as the sun relaxes so do those that feel the
warmth of your rays upon their world.
And in my eyes beauty is that which is reflected
from within - you.
47 48
BUTTERFLY
A butterfly, dancing amongst the trees FLUTTERING FLOWER PETAL
Alight yourself right on me
Make my day as wonderful as your own Am I touching your heart?
Light as a feather with nary a bone Am I making you sense that the feeling inside is
real?
Beautiful wings fluttering in the wind Do I make your heart skip at a different pace?
Reflecting the light of the sun Do I make your cheeks wet when I kiss your face?
Images of color before unseen Can I feel you inside?
In which only I can see my queen Can I receive all of your pride?
& &
Is it me that pleases you?
Can you take me to your hideaway Is it you that pleases me?
Up in the sky, right now, today Do you believe in destiny?
Let me fill you heart with joy Why not the stars decided?
Drink from my cup, I’m your boy Why not sanctify it?
There’s a better thought for this to describe?
Knowing that time does not exist There’s a ‘better’ without you by my side?
When stolen moments we share in a kiss Not that I can describe!!
Kiss me now forever more
Kiss me silly till my lips are sore

I MISS YOU
I miss you
ALONE My system is leaking fluids towards the world that
includes you
A moment alone in the sunshine of your life It is as if you are far away from me... not in your
Reflecting upon the passages you’ve endured usual place inside of me
Underneath the shade of the trees that have grown My world is a mess
around you Children laughing Family close to your And you have been there to see the worst of my
heart wanting your company Tears of joy and pain spirit
shared with you and by you I have tried to maintain
I hope that I have not shown too much of my pain
A moment alone in the sunshine of your life Floating from day to day... having nothing to show
Barely remembering the darkness of the clouds and little to say
that went away Examining the crystal drops of water I cannot continue on this road
& &
hanging from the leaves after the rain Enjoying the I miss you
quiet after the claps of thunder awakened you to its I wish that I could wallow in my sorrow inside my
bliss Noticing the new growth that could only begin mind alone
after the lightening struck down the dead tree But I want someone there with me
I climb the walls and peer over the edge only to see
A moment alone in the sunshine of your life the barrier I have created
By yourself always inside your head I miss you
Never alone inside your heart The dreams I made to include you are grey
All the light that is you shines upon the world to Black and white fantasies in a living color world
make it only what it is because Fading from my eyes as I draw towards destiny
...a moment alone in the sunshine of your life I miss you
...makes the day for every one you shine upon Can the spirits see what is left inside of me
51 52
That I want things as they are supposed to be
Yet I can’t see... what that is for me
I miss you
And when missing you the words that come to
mind MIRROR INTO ME
Are only “how can I shine”,
At the doorstep to my center you stand
Oh, again I rattle on with nothing but a song... the Waiting to hear the herald news
pain inside of me won’t come out Are you the one I am relating
The rains of change upon my life have not ended The gladness, the love and the blues
their season Is the vision you see a fairy tale
Do not yet put your foot to test the waters at my Or is it really the truth
riverside Open the door and look inside
Listen closely to the sound of the current passing What you will find is a mirror to your soul
by For my center is yours to view
& &
Soon the banks will overflow with happenings A reflection of what I desire
And the water will dance lazily across the landscape A refracted spark of the fire
Then you will be invited to bathe in the new A queen in her greatest glory
Then you will be able to cast aside your garments A king to create with the story
And immerse yourself in who I truly am How much more can I expose of myself
And I will caress the you that comes into me Before you see what I say
Wash away the world that is not uniquely yours Before you accept, even today
Brush against your skin with life That in answer I am for what you prayed
Ahh, but a dream again…
Step in my waters
I miss you
53 54
WANTING
I desire you.
CONFESSION I want to be in you.
I want your heart to beat as if mine
I can’t know all that goes on in your head. I only I want this feeling I have to flow endlessly in the

the sun Wanting my touch at a physical level but denying it
I am inside of you on the spiritual
I am you Intellectual dances that avoid the truth
Feel me wanting you Creation of ideals that do not move you forward
Feel me soothing you Destruction of myths and yet held onto
Feel the goodness that is life with me in your arms Feel these words penetrate you like my manhood
Want it to be where you belong penetrates the folds of your flower
Come to me… Then touch me with what you hold so dear
Dance in the raindrops of my tears Give me what is already mine
Pull me into your world and make it a part of me Be

Open that place that you hide from me
Let me touch your soft spots Waiting for you to see what I mean
Let me hold the sensitive pieces of your being
Let me kiss you Waiting to feel you
Waiting to understand what it is that we are doing
Waiting for you to agree to agree
Waiting and can’t see why

PRESUPPOSE THE FUTURE
I begin to expose my heart to you, but fear keeps
you at bay
Trying to get away from one day having to say “I
enjoy the time together... you maybe more than most,
but I am so used to going... why add butter to the
A WORTHY DREAM toast”
Wish upon the night, that stars would fall in place In my world what you do not know is that running
Mark your path to greatness… is also my game
a free dinner plate I am faster than the speeding bullet... and forget
A mansion on a hill about the train
A Cadillac in blue I run for a reason not unlike your own
& &
A man they call Ronald to sleep in bed with you No one can know that I am quietly alone
What is the value of having all your dreams A façade of smiling faces always around
If you only dream of holding a cone of ice cream Mine, yes, is one of them... just hiding an eternal
frown
Looking for the answer to questions I cannot ask
Being a part of Oneness and hoping that it lasts
Your dreams I see when you talk will take you far
from me
I must relish in the knowledge that I got to share in
thee
59 60
I know that somewhere deep inside is more for me
and you
It takes for us to want it... we know what we must
do
I can’t say to you all the things that will reveal my
course YOU AGAIN
I have been warned to accept you and not expose
the force I feel the motion of unity creeping into my
The power you have over others... You cannot use awareness whenever I think of you
& &
on me I miss the fire growing higher spending time with
But my own on you I will not waste for we both you
must be free I move my mind along the path of the future lost
I hope to help you realize just what you’re playing in you
with I open my eyes to realize, you are only you
The possibilities are endless if you’d only use your
gift…presuppose the future and create it with me
61 62
I AM
REALITY WRITTEN I am more than a reflection of the past unfulfilled
I am more than the person that gives you a thrill
I will not edit this as it should be fixed in places I am a giver of light and satisfaction untold
I am the one to share with life and to grow old
I can see mistakes in the rhythm and it doesn’t I am knowledge
have a beat I am wisdom if you care to look
But as the words flow from my lips or in this case I am your equal
my hands I am your partner
I want you to feel how you flow from me and to I am an unwritten book
know all that you can I am the lens by which you see things right
I am a light for your protection a shadow in your I am the warmth you wrap in for cold at night
past I am the path that leads to your wish come true
& &
Not to be forgotten or to be harrassed I am the darkness from which the light shines
That is a nice thing... just to say I won’t through
Get in your way or fail someway to be to you the I am peace inside of your golden heart
host I am currents of energy, the eternal spark
The host of your forever your future that is bright I am the wall of security about your home
The places I must show you to share with you I am comfort
delight I am strength
I look at your eyes and fall into sleep I am honesty
I caress your soft thighs and know why men weep I am alone
Everyone wants the honey of your kiss I am waiting for you to see, what you mean to me
and to realize how to share
Sweet sugar baby... in you I share pure bliss
63 64
HIDE-AWAY
How to share in reality as dreams unfold
How to reach heights of ecstasy while keeping on Growing inside a fire
our clothes Quenched by only you
How to cross the bridge into the light of Oneness
with the Sun, Until it burns no higher, I hope you don’t feel used
The Earth, The Moon and Galaxies reciprocating The dancing of it sparks high into the sky
fun.
I am waiting for you to recognize why I am here Embers leaping here and there creating a show that
today is incomparable
What I have to offer and what you’ll have to pay
& &
I am waiting for the rain to wash away your fears Ah the colors that you emit when I touch you like
Clear yours eyes of mystery from long past years this
I am waiting for the moment when if I walk away, The sounds of laughter in your eyes when I kiss
you’ll ask me to return to you or beg me to stay you in that place
I hope I’ve been successful in the making of my A special song that plays on the air that only we
point, can hear
Otherwise this verbiage should be rolled in a joint
It is the melody of our summons to each other’s
hide-away

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE DOING
Thinking about me CHANGE OF A STAR
Trying to know what it is you feel
Thinking about us The stars have changed alignment and my nights
Wanting your thoughts to be more than that are cold
Thinking
Who even said you know how The heat from your irradiance I no longer know
.

I know that what I am doing is Why the universe has presented this time to grow
Thinking about you In the end I’ll surely know
Trying to know what it is I feel
Thinking about us Peace be unto you my sister - and may the flow
Wanting my thoughts to be more than that always enhance your direction of travel
Thinking?
Can’t be sure since I don’t know how either

the wind blowing at the trees
MISTAKEN INTEREST shadows dancing on your window pane

I see you standing there wanting to know a quiet moment alone
but will you walk up to me and expose your eyes... wanting to be in the warmth of a caress
the reflection of your soul? wanting to hear the sounds of laughter
I see you looking back at me wanting to drink in happiness
& &
but will you admit that your heart is protected by
the mystery of your misery a quiet moment alone
I see you...oh! let’s me feel the caress of myself
... you are not looking at me as i fly through the leaves

home
drinking till intoxicated in the happiness of the
quiet moment alone

THE CREATOR
How does one deal with that which is so beneath But what of me and why not
the surface of their awareness that it boils over into Show for me – what for you I got
mist? Show for me – what I shared this day
Can’t find the words to say the things A dream, a star, if you may
representative of the emotion I miss Just TAKE TAKE TAKE
A tear to fall, a word to say Each and every one
A silence heard from far away Take from life, but give back none
Inside I fight to know your truth Not that you don’t have it or don’t receive
Ignore my pain developed from youth The blessing of Divine, the fantastic dream
Somehow reflected upon the world You got more than your share today
The environment of my insides, the darkness But shared with who – but yourself I say
unseen Shared with no one!!
Respect for myself to capture the dream Shared alone
I give to you all that I am to give Shared the bounty of the kingless throne
& &
I show you the truth of your souls And how might I reap what I sow
I dance for you happily upon the grave, of what Have I done for many what I do not know
you can’t be or won’t be growth to praise Why this life must I live this dream
I am myself but ask for it naught How do I use my knowing nothing
The dream of my becoming the light of god Wake up yourself and know truth’s truth
I see how it makes you wince in pain…so I give up I am the creator
my shadow and dance a jig to create the light to make And the creator is you!!!
you big
To let you see
To let you know
To give you joy
For love I show

ALWAYS SOMETHING
Always something
DECEIVING THOSE AROUND US I saw the beauty in what was before me
And my enjoyment of it was unfulfilled
Deceiving those around us Always something getting in the way
For what they do not know A thought or idea of what-what is supposed to be
Maybe it will change their view Looking for satisfaction here there and only
To enhance the rhythm’s flow finding temp-or-airy
One day we will all be able to tell the truth out Always something to say
loud A rhythmic melodic word today
Why is that day not now and why not revealed to A sad emotion on the holiday
grow A description of clothes to wear at play
Always something to say
Participating in the mystery as much as the next Avoiding truth or reveal what may

Trying to shine my vision upon the shadow bright Inside you be confliction portrayed
Recognition seen by those few and far between I know a place not far from here
Confusion is the reflection seen upon the face of We can go to find ourselves
masses Wide open fields with grass so green contrasting
the clear blue sky
Again my thoughts return to you A radiant sun and the occasional whispy white
The source of my daydream cloud passing over head
Deceiving those around us A tree, majestic in its presence provides focus for
Because they can’t believe our attention, shelter for our protection from the
blazing light of revelation as we look into who we are
The leaves let shimmering light pass between them
Highlighting the qualities always there, but seen
only in glimpses by me or you

A NITE TO REMEMBER
A nite to remember here with you
Tasting wine, food and thought
Poetic voices – musical flow
Spirits moving together to create
A vibe unique and personal
Again let’s gather , me and you
Bring some friends to expand our sharing
A quiet nite on a white sandy beach
The moon low on the horizon full and orange
The stars twinkle overhead as whispy clouds slowly

pass by
Sitting under a coconut tree wrapped in your arms
The wind against our skin cools the heat generated
by your touch
Slowly my hands glide along the curves of your
body

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP WE
SHARE?
In the ocean of life that is before us we can’t help
but notice that some people, events, places seem to
present themselves as if they are a part of us. Is your
life a part of my world? Or is my life a part of your
world? What is the relationship we share?
Such was the question asked while walking with
the teacher and myself. So what then could be the
answer…
& &
Let me just speak to what I share with you. A
breath of fresh air, each moment that you are there.
How is it that before you I could see you in prayer.
Meditation upon one-ness, close-ness, being-ness.
A relationship is the word used to describe a
correlation between one or more things to one or
more other things. The thing could be an attitude, a
color, an emotion, a thought, a place, a person, any
thing. Let us talk about it generally before talking
specifically.

ONE SIDE OF A CHAT
I am from Atlanta... don’t you remember talking to
me?
My impression upon you must have been slight
You can’t remember what we did that night
only a few notes we shared in here,
maybe that night you had some beer...
Well I put a little something in your page to see,
I hope that it touched you delicately
in a place that is pure and helps to comprise
the dream that I’m from you fail to realize...
I appreciate the props, but I am only myself and have
nothing to do with my looks... my kindness is from the
purity of my heart... I am glad that it shines through.
& &
Take a moment to look inside, I’m sure that it also
resides in you. If we look at each other and see
ourselves, we can find the way to change the world one
mind at a time...
I must enjoy you, for I am in some way a part of you, I
hope that you enjoy me, for in reflection I hope to
only show the best of who we are together...
Savannah, is that a place or a state of mind?
The state of mind is a place I hope to find
two beings dancing... you and I
one dream sharing... no care for time
99 100
holding on to the day as if no tomorrow
holding on to you... to remove any sorrow recognition of the truth inspired
touching your heart as I touch your skin merging our juices creatively
touching my lips are the words “my friend” pleasurable climax we will reach
as we stroke each other intellectually
how can you enjoy me more than I know...
If you tell me, then i will not have to show Ahh, but a touch of your body I did not share
that what i know is what you know so go to the show mentally touching what was not there
and tell me so and the fall is not from the lips my dear
but from fingers that type the words we share
Poetry.... is that a verse or is that the thing they call a inside your mind the penetration must...
curse first to enter your consci-us
is it the way to talk in rhythm or is it how to speak whispering breeze ... a hurricane
your mind and the bird that flies is really a plane
is it what you cry about or is the tear your laugh aloud dancing in that moon on that fated night
is it something you say... piercing your heart with my sword this knight
& &
is it something you write... as emotion flows from the wound
is it something we do at night I drink in it watching you swoon
well, if its something it must be right but damage to you was not done
do I like it ....well I don’t know my sword just released the fun
do I like it... or does it like me climax you’ve yet to explore
for from this heart there is so much more
touching you... that is what I want to do let it flow fair maiden let it flow
not so much with my hand only then will you truly know
but with words and the thoughts I command that what I have to share with you
to be inside you hard and deep me inside reflecting you
opening your mind as you fall asleep
penetrating your conscious as I slip inside I always get to see the side that is pure, but
making you wet, when you start to cry sometimes a being will try to shield my vision with
tears of joy and somber bliss
101 102
illusion be direct my sister for you do not know with whom
the deepest part of my intrusion you play
into that which causes confusion I am the protector of your insides, because inside you
you cannot hide from my solution is where I reside always
a shield to protect is just pollution
naked exposed is my intrusion yes, little one, I enjoy the texture of your folds of
soft womanly strength is my conclusion mind
you are the protector within your fusion it would not have to be a deep penetration
to harm you is harming me in union you know they say “size doesn’t matter”
don’t follow this to be in collusion but I know how to use my tool
with what is not you sweet nubian and the core of your being is already exposed
for the brighter you shine upon the horizon to reach out and touch what you offer to me will ignite
understand that you possess the real sun a raging inferno within the soul of life that is shared
.... the possibilities that I help you imagine will cause the
it is not how deep you can get gods to dance in the harmony of its music
it is how deep do you want to be penetrated? the bliss... in a kiss... of the N side of you N side of me
& &
I can go to the core of your being
as you mentioned you desire to protect that space to show you...
I am more than meets the eye... as your eye can only to know you...
see what is it that I must go to?
have I not opened your eyes?
what I write can you not feel me inside?
but can I say to you i can see more of you in your will you be able to dream of what-what
words than a picture would allow without the essence of my touch
can I say to you that i can touch you without my yes, I will follow your thoughts
hands far more intimately than your dreams of in your mind, my energy flux
passionate kisses in the moonlight tonight as you sleep and tomorrow as much
can I say these things and not have you think I speak you will know that I am with you
untruth... as your thoughts will resist to
allowing me to fade away
103 104
you will know that the show is already aglow
with the fire you want me to ignite

ANOTHER STORY
Close your eyes so you can see
The answers to the questions I present to thee
I stand before you waiting to know
just what it is that fails to grow
the seed has been planted by many before
some sprouts are growing, but it should be more
the power that sits within your hands
waits to be shared across the land
Every new moment you live your life
provides another to prove your right
Right to live in total bliss
Right to have and not to miss
& &
miss out on things that you say you love
miss out on heaven, why... because
Because to believe in what I say
you have to forget that I want to play
you have to think for a moment its true
the sharing of power resides in you
the gathering of strength
the awakening glint
the sparkle in your eye that clouds your view
close your eyes so you’ll know what to do
I am here to guide you on your way
107 108
will I come with you, I may not say
I only perform the task at hand
it is up to you to understand
do not look the horse in the mouth
split wide its belly and let come out once we all began
the gift that truly it hides inside Listen to me, if not our women, the source of life
knowledge experience death or life who then will warm us in the night
the night of darkness to end only then
walking amongst the spirits of my youth when you close your eyes to see
waiting to wake and share the truth
finding you standing in the corner of the night when you close your eyes to see
within your hands hiding the light that the light that is shining comes from thee
touch you I did with little reserve that the light that we wait for is in your hands
knowing my power... did you deserve that the light is the beginning and each moment is
time will tell as all things revealed the beginning
and each moment is the beginning
& &
move to the next one without my shield
and each moment is the beginning
I know that you lose most of the meaning that I and each moment is...
share with you in the words of my songs that flow
through you
some day in the future when I learn the key to
touch your awareness that is locked in ”D”
I have visions of a grand beginning... I have visions
of no end... for each moment is the beginning... and
each moment is the beginning
I look upon my people and watch the suffering, I
have experienced enough to speak from my heart
Together we must try to ascend to the place that
109 110
YOU CAN’T SEE ME
You can’t see me because you are looking too hard
at yourself
You can’t see me so the dreams I have are on the
shelf
You can’t see me while looking into the glass
The glass’s reflection reveals your imperfect past
You can’t see me, though you say that I am what
you seek
You can’t see me, in your own life’s fantasy
All that you know and all that you’ve learned
make of you a goddess for any man to yearn
But that is your own dream and that is your own
life…when will you share it with another as wife
& &
I am more than meets the eye
I wish only once some one will see
And more than see me, but share my reality
It wouldn’t take much to show me you care, just
give up one thing… a moment here and there
A moment to give me concern for not what,
…not what you long for
…not what you need
…not what you enjoy
…not what you please
…a moment for me that you have discerned
a moment that shows the world that you know
the person you’re with is a step beyond
