She calls to my senses. My head swims in her song I am lost in her music Her pull is so strong Her spell has entrapped me She is stealing my heart I sit here in silence As she weaves her dark art She captures my mind With her words as she sings She tells of the pleasure Her warm body brings The softness her firmness The scent of her sweat She knows I'll fall pray She has already bet She does not really love me It's her form of abuse For the way that she lures me She has no excuse She knows nature calls to me She is sure of her craft She knows at her magic She is rarely surpassed No one escapes her She is deadly and sure For the song that she sings to you There is not a cure I am lost in her song She has captured my heart And locked it away Every bit not just part She is lovely she's crafty You best run while you can Or your life will be over Long before it began.

She Calls
A word or two strung together A story of my love A memory from then and now Time I keep thinking of The times we hold each other Soft kisses that we share Words we offer one another To show how much we care Holding hands and walking Down a sunny sandy beach Grasping at the sky above Could there be a star in reach Good times filled with laughter How we share each others love My heart so full of caring You are all that I think of My happiness My joy in life Sweet tenderness My lovely wife Together we shall walk this path So many never find Enlightened by this love we share Until the end of time.

A story of my love
I got up this morning. T’is a day like the rest. Sunny or rainy Each day is the best. Just the fact I awake, Each bright early morn. Lightens my heart, And puts me in good form It’s not like my life’s empty With nothing to do. So the weather don’t matter. Let me give you that clue. I work inside if rainy, and outside if bright. It is only deep cold. That can get me up tight. Summer is here. I’m so happy you see. I strut around, In jeans and a “T” I ride my scooter where ever I go. I don’t need my car. If it’s warm out you know. So my life is now Quite full of grace I have my health, And my own little place I grow most of my food. I know how to cook. Maybe some day They’ll put my words in a book What more can one ask for in this world which we live? Other than when Will we all learn how to give?

I got up this morning
What a gorgeous night to ride, the temperature’s just right. Jeans an "T" and a leather vest, are quite suitable tonight. I walk out, get on my bike. Turn the key; switch on headlight. Push the button; start her up. Set aside my coffee cup. Sitting on my steed of steel. The road ahead has much appeal. The air feels good as I ride out. Great night to ride without a doubt. Twisting on my throttle grip, into traffic now I slip. My headlight shines on lines of white. This road, this bike, both feel so right. Accelerating past some cars, stopping at some smaller bars. Grab a burger and some fries. Lets move on my buddy cries. So many places I've not seen. Come on lets ride! Know what I mean? We've turns to make and, roads to cross, Lets keep ridding until we're lost. We keep on riding through the night, Much to soon comes morning's light. Our eyes now heavy needing sleep. The highways call will for now keep.

Night Ride
She calls to my senses My head swims in her song I am lost in her music Her pull is so strong. Her spell has entrapped me She is stealing my heart I stay here in silence As she weaves her dark art. She captures my mind with her words as she sings She tells of the pleasure Her warm body brings. The softness the firmness the sent of her sweat. She knows I'll fall pray. She has already bet. She does not really love me It's her form of abuse. For the way that she lures me she has no excuse. She knows nature calls to me she's sure of her craft. She knows at her magic she is rarely surpassed No one escapes her she's deadly and sure. For the song she will sing to you There is not a cure She's lovely she's crafty You best run while you can, or your life will be over long before it began. Rew 6/23/04

She Calls
Our love is forbidden. It never should be. It is easily realized. We both can see. Though I can’t help myself No more than can you. I doubt we can hide it From everyone’s view. So what will we say When our love comes to light? Will our feelings go crashing As rumors take flight? No one understands It’s so hard to see. What would you want with someone like me? Could anyone think We might fit like a glove? Could it possible We might be in love? I have something for you. You have something for me. Does it really matter just what that might be? Should we consider How others may feel? Is what we do wrong So our love we conceal? It’s so hard to fight back when you’ve done nothing wrong Yet someone elts thinks Our love can’t belong. ‘Tis a world full of judgment In which we are born. These are the pillars On which our love is shorn. A little bit wormy And it seems like some rot But these are ideals Our society has taught. So do I follow rules Of someone long dead? Or fallow my heart And take you to my bed?

Forbidden Love
Interesting! The heart is caged, behind so many bony bars. Yet still it can be cut and slashed, then left so full of scars. We all have our turn left bleeding, our souls pouring on the floor. As the one we loved so much, passes through our door. The tears go rolling down our face, dripping off our chin. Every thought inside our head, saying it's the end. The joy in life forever gone, how can love be again? Is there anybody anywhere, who has a heart to lend? Every time I show it, it gets another burn. Why do I refuse to see, why is it I can't learn? Lost upon these desolate shores, I forever sail alone. A very very lonly soul, a heart that knows no home. A tall and raging water fall, seething emotions foam. Not a single drop of love, can to my heart be shone. As the emotion we most live for, strains through endless sands, a sun that lights our sky above, departs for distant lands. I'm now left standing by myself, a lonely broken man. Giving love to someone else, I no longer think I can. My heart broken to many times, now lost forever more. A sweet old man that lives alone, a bachelor to the core. Copyright ©2007 Rew

Heart full of Scars
I awoke In the middle of night Down I sat Some words to write Something simple Came to mind A word or two And yes they rhyme Had to put them down Before memories laps It’s the only way I may be able to grasp The concept of these words I write That pulled me from my slumbered night A dream perhaps A thought of you That came to mind And pulled me through Into this awakened state Now I must write It will not wait Rew 11/27/09

Middle of Night
My passion burns with deep desire. Inside my chest explodes such fire. It seers my brain with such delight. To think of you all through the night. Your smooth and flowing gentle touch. Excites my body Oh! So much. Your lips caress upon my skin Sweetly repeating every sin. Such love and lust flow through my heart. Cause me to dread the day we part. Loves burning ember you left inside. Will not allow my soul to hide. It rips and tears inside my brain. Singing out loves sweet refrain. Knowing my id can not escape. My exit gone. It’s much to late. Well passed the time to hesitate. Clearly now I see my fate. Into this hole I freely fall. The music of the sirens call. Pulls on my tortured soul within. Chasing out all that has been. I am bewitched. Now I see You will never set me free. Rew 3/18/02

Set Me Free
A ship upon the ocean With sails of blue and gold With a stormy sea of love ahead I must sail both brave and bold I must hold aloft my colors I must rise my voice above So that you might hear it I must call loudly of my love I must tell you of my feelings How you penetrate my soul I must make you mine my lady That is my only goal Waves battering upon my bow As I sail into this storm Though it may be a thrilling ride My love is not forlorn For waves will fall And sun will shine It will be smooth and clear My love will last through any storm So please allay your fear Your are the one t”was meant for me Through eternity’s long grip You are the love I’ve searched for You are my sailing ship.
