I am losing myself
Little by little
With each passing day.
I sit in the corner
Grasping to everything I hold dear
But however valiantly I fight,
I slip through my own fingers
So I am left with only my body,
Which I never liked in the first place,
And the corner where I remain
To hide from the life
I have lost sight of.

Man                                           Woman
He Smiles Curiously                        She Blushes Coyly
He Approaches      Asks her name      She shares it     Asks the Same
Mr Right                              Love at First Sight                    Her Smile is a Delight
"Meet for Drinks?"                            hmmmmmm                      ­        "Pick me up at 8?"
He knocks - 1 rose.                                vase, water                        Her perfume - sweeter.
Politely, opens car door for her                                The night keeps getting better
At the restaurant                                                      S­he sips her red wine
Conversation so easy                    She feels she's known him forever
"Would you like to dance?                "I don't dance very well."
"Indulge me, just want u in my arms."    ~Just a smile~
One hand at her waist, one on her back.
They become one, all others disappear.
Peering into each other's eyes.
No words are needed.
Their bodies
say
it.

Allow me to serenade you with my lyrics,
Sing you softly to sleep in mysterious expression
Do not fight your slumber - smile for me as you
Succumb to your dreams, whispering a melody
Slowly, slowly
Save your worries, just listen to the sound of my words,
While I enjoy the sweet sound of your sigh
As your senses give way to sleep.

I cupped my hands
To drink from my River of Dreams
The water was sweet,
It stained my tongue
And cleansed my tear-stained cheeks
My dreams took flight
At the first swallow -
That is when I first saw you.
Unsure and hesitant, I was -
Until I tasted your kiss
The River I drank from so long ago
So here I sit,
Intoxicated
For you are my sweetest dreams,
Come true.
