What an old soul you are,
Donned in leather that strikes tales of time
Cool tie and rocky shoes,
Leaves the girls smitten, caught in your gleam.
A presence that that feels like a rhyme
Is it your poise or charisma that draws them near? I ponder

Your mad hatter jokes weave laughter like art,
To what do I owe this delightful cheer?
A dance with you was never my intent.
With a glass down, I fix my flair,
Ready to strut to your grooves embrace,
“Shall we?” you say, each pun in sync,
A wink and a smile, together with a tip on the hat.

“Be mine for the night,” you say it with a smize
“If and only if we dance till the dawn breaks!” I reply
Laughter ensues and you pull me in,
Cheek to cheek, in this moment, we’re drawn.

Must be the wine, or is it the gentlemans pride, I ponder. You pull me in more and set loose for a little twirl.  We glide across the floor
Transforming the night.

The music spins and thrills. Slow and steady, we move on the edge
Glowing under the disco’s ball , letting the shadows sway
You pause and time stands still 
A grip on the guitar
with every strum you play.
A melody adored, an echo of the past,
In your music, it binds
Time gently unwinds
In the rhythm of your grace
The mind, a labyrinth of mystery,
A riddle for the essence of being.
Thoughts cascade, a torrent of wonder,
Ideas intertwine, forging new paths.

Guard it from  the sway of opinion,
Embrace the awe in every potential.
Never underestimate its vast greatness;
In the depths of your mind, let brilliance awaken.
Explore the corners of what’s yet to be.
Unravel the stories that linger like ghosts,
Unearth hidden treasures, the things you love most.
Unleash your greatness
Take it upon yourself to shut down any negativity flowing your way. And greatly do so by affirming joys as loud and clear as possible and watch your life flourish.

We run from love's warm embrace,
Though our hearts yearn to be near,
We whisper a cautious no,
While longing for what’s clear.

In the dance of hearts and minds,
With missteps that leave us torn,
The princess lost her charming prince,
In the silence of love’s dawn.

A chance lost to the days.
In silence, we mourn the path
That led us far away—
A dream once held so closely,
Now just a shadowed sway.
In shadows we often tread,
We glance and hope for contact,
Yet fear the words unsaid.

So let us dare to speak,
To bridge the gaps we create,
For in the honesty of words,
True love awaits, not fate.

A flower in hand, I mastered the quintessence.

What if I told you, in whispered night,
That shadows of longing still dance in light?
In the quiet moments when time stands still,
I find echoes of you, a heart to fill.

Back then, we were dreamers, two souls in flight,
Chasing the stars, lost in our delight.
But seasons have changed, and paths drift apart,
Yet your memory lingers, a flame in my heart.

What if I told you, I wanted you then,
In laughter and silence, in now and again?
A truth woven softly in threads of the past,
A whisper of “what if” that’s bound to last.

So here in the twilight, I stand, ever near,
Carrying wishes wrapped tight in my fear.
What if I told you, in moments divine,
That wanting you now feels like crossing a line?

Like a wick in wax,
Ignite my soul,
Let’s dance in the fire,

Where passion burns
With every flicker bright,
Our spirits intertwine,
In this sacred light,
Your heart beats with mine.

Embers whisper secrets,
In the warmth we find,
A love that never wanes,
Eternal and unconfined.

Like a wick in wax.
Ignite my soul
And lets dance in the fire

In a *** of dreams, where flavors twirl and spin,
If you’re bold enough to stir, be ready for the grin.
Taste the broth, let your senses swoon,
Just don’t forget, dear Finder—lick the spoon!
Relish in your accomplishments
