I was only sitting
beside you but…
I felt you all around
The warm heat, blood rushing,
flushing cheeks
Heart song, growing louder
with every thought
Your energy swimming
through mine,
mixing, flowing, growing
with intensity, thick
like a warm blanket
embracing
Yet light, like a dandelion
gently floating
on a warm, soft breeze
And still it lingers
Long after you

A dusty shelf made of wood
That reaches way up high
Lined with every kind of book
Collected as years went by
Stories written to entertain
To swell the beating heart
To inspire the complacent
To create a change
Or make a fresh new start
Magical stories of fantasy fiction
Biographies and poetic prose
Classic tales by Charles Dickens
Filling up all of the rows
But one sits on a cluttered desk
About the mysteries of Heaven
Set apart from the rest
Opened to page seven

I look for you
In passing faces
A stranger's glance
In haunted places
I feel you among
Nature's grandest setting
It is you that I remember
Even when I'm forgetting
I see you wherever I go
In everyone I meet
Your words echo in conversations
That pass me on the street
Your soft, easy way
That safe familiar tone
That always takes me back
To a time long gone

Still waters hold
The secrets of sin
Truths eagerly waiting
For a rush from within
To finally break through
To the surface again
Vessels of time
Ones that have been
Watching for love
To once more begin
Knowing one day
The hatred will end

Early morning meditation
Surrounded by the surreal
Before the birth of color
Coats the shades of gray
Landscape bereft of chroma
And time is, momentarily,
An irrelevant measurement
When in the stilled silence
Mind and body synchronize
To quietly kindle the soul

I never knew I was filled with a light
Until the darkness became my home
A dawning day in the black of night
Where pain and regret and fear call home
But I made a choice to react with love
Not following the path the darkness led
A gift that is given from up above
Creating new life where once was death
Because there is freedom in the fall
When your fears are realized
Creating love from the chaos of it all
The choice was mine to decide
Light of day and dark of night
Together they both play a part
In my heart, there’s a shining light
Illuminating beauty in the dark

(Lyrics)
You're the music
To my song
You're the chorus
That moves the verses along
You're the rhythm, the beat
Got me tapping my feet
My melody
And I may never get
To right all my wrongs
But at least I got
To write you a song
You're the sweet words
In each line that I write
The inspiration
That brings it all to life
Every night when I pray
I thank God for each day
You're here with me
And I may never get
To write all my wrongs
But at least I got
To write you a song

When I just can't seem
To get anything right
When the world won't slow down
Long enough to hold you tight
The only comfort I can find
That works every time
Is when I close my eyes
Leaving the world behind
And you're on my mind
I want to be the reason you dream
Or that you can't fall asleep
Because you're thinking about
What you can't live without
Or how love's supposed to be
So tell me what do you see
Before you go to sleep
When you're all alone
And the world is gone
Are you dreaming of me?

The clouds take their form
Against a comfortable sky
The calm without the storm
As the breath of Heaven blows by
A gentle wind caresses my skin
With a soft, slow breeze
Embracing the peace,
From without and within,
My soul is now at ease

Like ink set on paper
Your words have left a mark
A rapidly growing flame
Lit by a wayward spark
With my hands and my lips
I long to wander your skin
But I taste you with my eyes
And learn the flavor of your sin
With each turn of the page
Uncovering something new
I will take my time tonight
In discovering you
