Funny things you notice
when you are thinking
P rhymes with V,
Just like you and me
The beach waves, really don't wave
A is more than a letter
T also rhymes with P and V,
That T puts you and me together
it's been so long...

(so....
........."so long!!!...so long!!!!!")

such a very
..................................long
road

winding towards the western hills

soft cloud poems
and blue skies
.............

child!....stay awake!
say ..
...................."so long"

and be gone

"here" is so very
far away
from any  sense of "grace"

and the western hills
may still contain

"refuge"
and a gentle maid


surrounded by
herbs and ancient wisdom
and a soul divine

.....

it's been so long....

longing just to feel you

everywhere
anywhere

creating peace
The sun is rising in the sky,
her tiny voice emits a cry,
her first look at the world around,
her mother's voice the only sound.

The sun is higher in the sky,
her little legs find strength to try,
her first steps in this magic world,
her wonder at this life unfurled.

The sun is further in the sky,
her sleep brings dreams where she can fly,
her mind learns what her heart can do,
her heart learns all that can be true.

The sun moves on across the sky,
her heart is pure but often shy,
her hopes are in each parent's hand,
her future waits for her to stand.

I want to tell you
The things you don’t know
I want to let you see
The things that don’t show
The things about me
That I hold deep inside
The things about me
That I try and hide
That I hide so well
But now its time
To come out of this shell
Just once more
I’ll try and show her
In hopes to leave her heart astir
Butterflies in her tummy
And weak in the knees
I’m begging you please
Just listen to me
I’m not all they make me out to be
I just want you to see
Me, just me
Not the way they see me
But the way I see me
The way I want us to be
Alone but happy
Where I love you
And you love me
Anthony J. Alexander 2006
Do you ever think about me
Does the thought of me ever cross your mind
Have you ever held me close in a fantasy
Or envisioned our bodies fervidly intertwined
Have you ever wished I was near...
When you just needed someone to hear...
Your thoughts and feelings about...
What ever needed to come out.
Have you ever thought about me
When I think about you, my breath catches in my throat
My chest feels empty from the feelings it invokes
Just the sound of your voice...
Leaves me no choice...
I begin to reminisce...
Of your simple and gentle kiss
When I think about you...
And often I do
