I have this haunting feeling
that there’s a secret side of you I don’t even know.
There are times when you keep things so well tucked away
that I don’t realize what you are thinking or dealing with
until eventually, one of those things manifests itself in other ways,
and you share just enough to give me a glimpse
from the surface.
I want to know all of you,
so that I can love all of you;
the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I don’t want to wake up twenty-five years from now wondering,
“Who this person is lying beside me?”
I want to know
beyond a shadow of a doubt.
I want to finish your sentences for you,
even if only in my head.
But, part of me likes surprises;
likes the mystique and the mystery,
likes the way you keep me guessing,
likes the way I am still discovering who you are.
So, as long as you keep on peeling,
I’ll keep on loving you -
one layer at a time.

I’m driving home on a grey rainy day
And she calls me
And says she needs a roll of quarters Because she needs to do her laundry.
I've been waiting to hear from her
And I'm ecstatic at the sound
Of her voice.
And yes I will gladly get her the quarters
Or anything else that she would want
Because I love her.
You see, my heart's desire
Is her happiness
She's the one I would do anything for.

Waking in the night
Disoriented from sudden darkness
Skin cold and wet from
The sweat on the sheet
Hopelessness sets in as
Life's cares crash into my mind
Like a crushing weight on
My shoulders
I look around and in the darkness
I hear your breathing
Softly whooshing in and out
I am comforted by your presence
My faith is restored by the fact
Of you in my life
My mind thinks of the bible verse
That says that I am the branch
And He is the vine
And I realize that the same is true
In you
Without you
I can do nothing
I turn toward you
Place my arm around your waist
You stir
And turn back to me
You turn your face to me
And your beautiful kiss on my lips
Strengthens me
Bolsters me
Fills my heart with reassurance
Shows me that your love for me
Is undying
And true
You are my rock
My foundation
My light and my joy
You are the still waters
I love to lay by
You are the shining light of the moon
In the clear night sky to light my way
You are the meaning in my life
And my love for you grows day by day
Like an Amaryllis
Whose blooms never fail but
Are constantly replaced with more
I thank the Lord
For you
Every second of every day
And I will continue to do so
For the rest of my life

Wake up with an ugly old bed head
Breakfast is coffee and stale bread
I'd like to complain
About taxes and rain
But I won't
'Cause at least I am not dead
