It's sweet and mesmerizing
And it reminds me of that place
You took me once last summer
With that smile spread upon your face

You laughed as you told me stories
You found funny about yourself
You glowed as you told me secrets
You have told to no one else

It's deep and rich and smooth
As that one night upon the beach
We watched the fireworks together
And counted each one by each

We fell in love quite instantly
I can't quite tell you how
But these feelings are here consistently
And I still feel this way now

And the best quality: It's natural
As the woods and the skies above
Even if I were to search the entire world
This would always be the scent of love

For Someone Special

Thunder and Lighting

Like that thunder storm we watched at your place
Where I ran right into the rain
And beckoned for you to come dance with me
But, sadly, you refrained

You yelled and screamed for me to come back
Under your safe and dry front porch
"What if you get struck by lightning" You said
"Then You'd like up light a torch"

This was my act of defiance
My little run into the weather
I went out for you to notice me
To show you I wanted things to be better

Eventually, I came back, dried off, got warm
We were together in your living room
Where we talked, and sat, and lived, and loved
While we listened to the thunder boom

I Wish I May

I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish
I wish tonight*

I wonder how
I wonder why
The birds are chained
To the pale blue sky

And fish are destined
To sail the seas
Till dawn, Till dusk
Till you believe

And why are we
Bound to walk this land
Sometimes alone
Sometimes hand in hand

With another being
As lovely as thou art
With demeanor so daring
And a caring heart

I wish this for you
Even though it is not you and I
Chained together soaring
Through a pale blue sky

Traveler

As much as I look around
This great wide world
I see you in every place that I go

In a boat at Maine
In a train in Boston
In a Jeep in New Mexico

But why do I search?
And think?
And search?
When I know no hope remains

It's because I had hope
Then lost hope
Then had hope, but lost
And all hope, to me, feels the same

The Other One

My Digital Love

My mind always traces it to you
That song that takes me back
To warmer weather

Sitting out on my back porch
In twilight
Almost three years ago
As I listened to that song
For the first time

The one that made you think of me
That surprised me
About you

So now, whenever I hear:
"Last night, I had a dream about you
In this dream, I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
The kind of feeling, I've waited so long"

I think of you
And remembered what it felt like
To be in love for the first time

The other one. Even now, I can remember the exact feeling I had when I listened to that song. And I still can feel it, no matter how far away it is. If you are so inclined about the song, it is "Digital Love" by Daft Punk

And I Went In, All Hearts A'Blazing

So I went in one day
With hearts all a'blazing

Went and hit your wall hard
But shriveled up like a raisin

So I got up, being a raisin and all
And right then and there I decided to crawl

So I crawled for a while
Under your wall, trying to get through

But I saw that was no use
So up I grew

I grew up and up
Like a big, noble tower

To see over your walls
To accumulate more power

But your walls were too high
Your demands were too steep

So I slumped down and found that
I needed to sleep

So I slept for a while
I slept a great deal

And after my dream
I realized I needed to get real

So I found my real self
Not a raisin, crawler, tower, or such

I am who I am
Not affected by your touch

But maybe some day
I'll come back
With my heart all a'blazing

But instead of me this time
Maybe you'll be the raisin

Who crawls for my love
Who will grow for it more and more

And maybe, just maybe
You will realize you could have had it before

To be honest, I laughed when I wrote this. I felt like Dr. Seuss when I wrote it. But I don't think this will ever happen because I don't want it to. I am good with right now

What Is Love? (To me anyway)

Take me to that place in your heart
Where you have taken no one else

Show me those things
You are hiding from yourself

Indulge me in your past
Your memories, my dear

Even though you are confused
To me, it is all clear

I'll touch the broken parts
Make them disappear if you desire

I'll travel the world for you
Because you have set my heart afire

I will keep your secrets
Safe and sound

In my own chamber of thoughts
Where they can be found

And I can't tell the future
I don't have any plans

But I would never plan to change you
Because you are a great man

For someone special
