Waves breaking all around,
Midnight sky, without a sound.
Sandy beach below my feet,
Ground slowly losing heat.
Wind blows your gentle hair,
Making me love the nighttime air.
Moonlit glow within your eyes,
Complementing happy sighs.
Your hand soft as ocean scent,
Taking mine on the descent.
Wavelike rhythm of your heart,
Nothing keeping us apart.
Midnight gentleness in your lips,
The feel of your skin on my fingertips.
We sit and watch the ocean view,
But it just can't compare to the beauty in you.

This Is the Morning

Morning air, brisk and clean,
Water reflecting sunrise sheen.
Fish break the the quiet glass,
Frogs jump as I pass.
Birds twitter in the trees,
Dragonflies buzz as they please.
Boots soaked with dewey damp,
Leave behind their muddy stamp.
Through grassy field, waist length,
Fresh scent lending strength.
Between trees centuries old,
Mottled bark still rough and cold.
From the forest into the glade,
To my stump, still in shade.
Sit and watch nature performing,
Yet another spectacular morning.

Follow me.
I know where I'm going.
Follow me.
My greatness bestowing.
Follow me.
I can light the way.
Follow me.
I know what to say.
Follow me.
You won't understand.
Follow me.
Just take my hand.
Follow me.
And have not a doubt.
Follow me.
I will lead you out.
Follow me.
Wait where are you going?
Stop, follow me!
What the heck, seriously?
Follow me ******!
Come back!
Alright, alright I'm coming...

11/20/2012

Fifteen years will not find me a suburban home.
Not minivan nor prius in my driveway.
You see, I need space to roam.
I was born for the open highway.

All I need is a 'vette and a Jeep.
Just a cabin in the mountains,
A condo on the beech,
A suite above the Vegas fountains.

I'll never settle, not when old,
And I'll not be tied down by any wife.
I refuse to fill the common mould,
I was meant for the free life.

I've always wondered,
If there was more.
Something bigger,
I should be looking for.

At first I thought,
Maybe it is success.
So I succeeded in all,
I am the best.

But still I don't feel,
The way that I might.
So I will keep looking,
Until it feels right.

I thought maybe wealth,
Was the key to it all.
I work and I earn,
But that isn't the call.

The toys are fun,
The parties are great.
But I don't find meaning,
Driving one fifty eight.

At only seventeen,
I questioned the rules.
A year later I realize,
I was one of the fools.

There was no thrill,
In breaking the law.
Yet I was never caught,
By the courtroom's claw.

What more was left?
What hadn't I won?
I thought it was over,
My philosophy done.

I tried the last thing,
That I could think of:
The deepest and sweetest,
The purest of love.

I've tried many girls,
Until I found the one.
So incredibly smart,
Beautiful and fun.

I love her like nothing else.
She is the reason I continue.
Her perfection saved me,
From ending this venue.

But still unsatisfied,
I am hungry and tired.
Will I ever find,
All that I desired?

I talk with God,
Every morning and night.
I ask for forgiveness,
Rescue from this plight.

I can see his works,
Both far and wide,
Yet I still feel,
So empty inside.

Look at me, and all I have.
Now look inside. See?
I just don't get it.
What is wrong with me?

I'm a terrible person,
Still missing my meaning.
I'm happy, yet sad,
Nothing redeeming.

So still I wonder,
Is there something more?
Something bigger, better,
I should be looking for?

I'll give you one last kiss,
But now I must go.
They will come soon,
I don't want you to know.

Your innocence steals me.
I'm leaving in the night.
My goodness remains,
With you in the moonlight.

I change, I revert,
When I cross the threshold.
Back to my ****** business,
I am death to behold.

I've wronged the wrong,
And they want me dead.
They won't stop,
Until I bathe in red.

Yet they don't know,
I am no longer the hunted.
Blood they will get.
Blood is what they wanted.

Lie with me,
In two senses.
Lie to ourselves,
Nothing else matters.
Lie to the world,
We aren't ordinary.

Now lie with me,
Your back in the grass,
Feel the earth's breath,
Upon your silken skin.
Feel her subtleties,
Her sophistication,
Her beauty...
Like you.
Lie here with me,
In the moonlight.
Hear my whisper in your ear,
Bask in my  warmth.
Feel the roughness of my fingers,
Entwined in yours,
So delicate and smooth...
Lie with me under heaven's floor.
Stare into the darkness,
Let it take control.
Understand the power around you,
Understand the gentleness beside you.
See the millions of stars,
So far away.
See the moon,
Its glow lights our night.
Just lie here...feel...understand...
Can you tell how small we are?
Does it have a hold on your soul yet?
Are you not overwhelmed!?
Does the power and awe not inspire you to be the best you can be?!
You are a part of this perfect universe!
You are a tiny speck of carbon and perfection...
Now I hope you see,
Feel,
Understand...
That is how I feel inside,
Every moment, of every day.
So tonight,
Lie here beside me.
Feel my strength,
In comparison, weakness,
And feel everything around you.
I can give you no greater gift.
I can express no greater love.
