CR: lust is a want , love is a need,
AB: i could take your heart out on a joy ride but i
can't feed the birds and the bees,
CR: There will be bumps along the road but with me
you'll never have to do it alone,
AB: I'll put my life on line , trying to spend time,
but i'll always be here for you at home,
CR: With you it's not what i see , its what i feel,
AB: i don't wanna be what every man is ,i want something real,

AB : when we touch its like its all i could think about,
like all i could about,
all i could think about,
i swear your kisses make a blind man see,
your touch could get me excited , set me free,
please tell me is this lust or love,
because i want this to be real to me,

CR: your smile is a work of art and being in your presence
warms my heart,
AB: your body is a heaven gate to newer things and better things
is what i want for both of us to have a brand new start,
CR: don't shut me out , just let it be,
AB: we'll go through trials and obstacles and then we'll be free,
CR: Love is something that transpires and lust is what you desire,
AB: Don't get the two mixed up , Don't feel so stuck cause at the end of the day
lust will expire,

AB : when we touch its like its all i could think about,
like all i could about,
all i could think about,
i swear your kisses make a blind man see,
your touch could get me excited , set me free,
please tell me is this lust or love,
because i want this to be real to me.

I wasn't looking for it
still....I found love
Like a sweet dream
that I couldn't quite reach

I tried to let it go
still....I hung on
Like a simple fool
I waited for you to see me

You never even looked.

I was only ever a friend
still....I cherished our moments
Like a faithful side kick
I waited for your attention

I watched as you fell for another
still....I thought you'd come to your senses
Like in the movies, we'd find forever
You'd finally see me

You never even looked.

Love the wife of Loyalty stands with her husband's arms wrapped around her and her arms wrapped around him in an warming embrace.  Loyalty looked into the eyes of Love and said

"My beautiful, beautiful, wife you filled my heart with joy by becoming my wife.  My world revolves around you.  I will always be there for you.  I will stand by your side and help you chase after your dreams.  I will protect you from all threats."

Love gave Loyalty a squeeze and said

"I too will stand by your side and help you chase after your dreams.  I will be there for you in your time of need or when ever you just want me by your side."

Love and Loyalty looked into each other's eyes and began to kiss.

You told me that I had a great smile,
And that my little crooked front teeth were cute.
You told me that you liked my laugh,
And you’d imitate it in a voice full of admiration.
But then you kissed me and things changed;
You were distant and I couldn’t ignore the bounce in my giggle.
You didn’t joke with me and I started hiding my grin.
I started to hate the way my name sounded on your lips,
Even though it’s still like a lullaby in my head.
Your voice does this thing where it makes my heart beat quick,
And my eyes start to water.
I didn’t think it was possible to find love and hate in myself,
All at the same time,
Because of you.

Dark again
Darker than
Colourless sounds
From ceiling to walls
Always
Strange doors
Like gaping mouths
Dragging tears
Cracking open
Screams of silence

A day or night
Then comes the light
At long weary last
Ended future
Useless past
Nothing holds
Narrow roads
Damaged junction
There's a time
Comes the light
Follow the light

he took the cliche sabbatical
when his wife died, careening through
the Rockies to the jagged Pacific coast,
seeing old lovers along the way

ending in Iowa
with his daughter's family:
flat lands, with no ups and downs
surprise turns, or fatal strokes

there the grief was level
his daughter of strong faith
his granddaughter young enough
to yet see heaven in blue sky

mornings after Cheerios
she would lead him around the section
edifying him about the livestock, their purpose;
she introduced him to Harriet

her pet pig;
he couldn't help but think of his Hazel
and if the consonant and vowel were coincidental
or a contrivance of a child's supple mind

his granddaughter spoke of Hazel
with sublime ease, absent the halting
staccato utterances of adults when
they mentioned his wife's name

after all, his grandchild saw her
in a passing cloud, or in the glint
of moonlight on the pond,  
in clear azure sky

soon it came time to say goodbye
to the hog, who had been with the child
a sixth of her years--but she knew this
was the way of things

feeding and fondling new things
watching them grow, becoming cautious
when their mass exceeded your own
when they began to look away

'twas then it was time
all God's creatures would lose footing
even in this flat place,
and go to sleep

though the child would not forget
Hazel or Harriet, for the latter was on the table,
sizzling and succulent, the former on the mantel,
framed in gold, smiling with eyes open

sometimes It Takes more than a while to understand what you want and what you are, but once you think you are perfect you never be perfect, no one was perfect, take the look for the far distance you will see the light, try to be wise and don't run to it because sometimes That light does not means it's your safty way, can be the light of fire That comes from hell, then you will fall down into hell cause you did not take care about it, here my story started in life, I came without any choices, I did not choose who I Am, I did not choose what I am, or the place or anything else, but I came inside a dark cave, spent my life running trying to find a my way and the reason why I was born, I had to fight and scratch and bit and keep going, then I started giving up till I saw that light coming out, god sent an angel to take my hand and save me from that Cave Save me from myself, someone I thought was the reason of my existence, that angel was too good than be perfect, for sure was more than perfect for me, cause all what took from me, just seconds to fall in love, everything was perfect, To fly up that hole watching the world getting so tinny in my eyes, and all what is big there is the angel's eyes, that magic and that perfection was more attractive than my imagination, everything was too good for me giving me hope and desir to live another life, thought there will be the end of that cave, there will be light and life, there I can see the true image of happiness, and life, everything was perfect for me in my thoughts, and I knew what I wanted, I wanted it so freaking bad, I wanted her till my last breath, but well there is always bad, so all what i did is stuck on it with all what I have making plans to be flying forever with that angel, and creating a world with imagination full of perfection, everything was too perfect till I did not release that was a dream, something my imagination created, because it's not came out to reality yet, some dreams can be real, when you work to make them real, till then That angel decided to let my hand, let me fall, then here we go again, but at least I know this time I will die fast than the way I was going to die at first, cause this time my way down was very fast, sweating and gasping the breath losing my mind and of course my heart was getting weak, then everything become anger and madness for me because i was not able to see the point from that, saving me then throw me here, so i decided to focus on my way down hell, fire burns everything even it burns it's self there I lost totally my mind what i thought will save me would **** me, but after all there was no way to go back cause the step you make never goes back, so you can imagine when you cross too far, I was upset and dying so slow watching that hell under of me, did not know what to do, till I decided to Accept the fall through the destruction maybe then I will be gone pieces and delete myself from existence, but after all; i'm still falling and my eyes still watching thet bird keep flying, at least he is happy about what he done, and I was proud to see the smile on his face, smiling to my end saying goodbye to whole world....Aladdin Aures
