I see the cardiologist today
My heart has been off
Instead of the normal
Thump Thump
It's been
Thththththump
I thought it was from
This new exciting us
But I feel sorrowful
maybe I missed a few pills
The ones that keep the smile on my face
But my heart
It's going erratic
It's doing it when I'm not with you
Becomes worse when I'm around you
you are bad for my health
Thththththump
There it goes again
My heart is broke
Even with you staying
I see the cardiologist today...

it was supposed to be

A solitude investment
Never expected return
A single hand
No ace to burn

it was supposed to be

Glances from afar
Touches of sin
A yearning that burned
One that wouldn't end

it was supposed to be

A secret locked tight
Lips sealed shut
Except for the burning kiss
Clearly clean cut

it was supposed to be

But what was supposed to be
Took a turn in the tide
Together we have jumped
with our eyes shut wide

Two ships pass in the night

                   I on one
               you another

A berg unnoticed they hit
Start to sink in the dark abyss
Onto life rafts we climb

                  I on one
             you another

The rolling waves of life's seas
Bring us back to shore
Beaten, tattered, torn
Brush ourselves off
Cling to the joy of surviving
Walk upon the beach of salvation

                  I and you
        upon the same sand

*ships pass no more

A breath of spring
Upon a winter's day
Pastel colors whispering
              
                   stay

A hint of smile
Upon her lips
Greeted warmly with a

                   kiss

Winter's cold
Cannot intrude
It is spring inside this blossoming

                    *prelude
