there is no way to emphasize
no way to look into your eyes
to stress, to curse, to pound the table
to show you that if I were able
YOU would be the ONLY one
I came home to when day was done
choices made so long ago
reflect me not, no they don't show
I gave up hope and settled down
I've always taken the long way 'round
You're in my life, You're in my heart
No way to make a brand-new start
others may judge, they may say it's odd
but I love YOU true, so help me God

magnetic forces pull two hearts
time, distance matters not
lustful phantoms torn apart
****** desires fill every thought

in the deepest darkest part of night
my ache for you overwhelms
no use to struggle, nor to fight
give in to fantasy's ebony realms

you, of my soul ~ you, of my heart
inside my being forevermore
sweet sultry need, I will not part
seared into me, loves lyrical score

ohhh the things I want to do with you
the thoughts that cross my mind
perhaps it would shock, ideas so blue
temptations await for us to find
I flirt with ideas, weighed against
reality of my bodies desire
nerves all exposed, left in suspence
just waiting for you to take me higher

we were young, and wild, and free
all the cliches of what we were supposed to be
laughing at the world, clutching our beer
standing too close to the train, screaming, nobody hears

I wonder where you are today
what part of you remembers
our times together, our youth, our lives
so vulnerable, so tender

you bring some comfort, you don't even know
singing on stage at some random show
hearing the crowds' adoration, applause
not knowing then there was never a cause

Never a reason to be so alone
singing into that microphone
lights shining bright, darkness beyond
now it's gone silent, infinity yawns

We fade into obscurity

I know you
because
like you, I was taught how to hide
how to keep all my hurt inside
how not to show fear when anger is near
I know you
and you know me too

unless I am feeling
deep inside
really feeling, really 'living'
I don't feel alive
it's a drug, need that 'fix'
need ............. YOU

until you, until 'us' -
now my heartbeat is strong
you're my fuel,
you're my fire
how is this wrong?

you're so calm, so collected
your feelings don't show
here I am, such a mess
so **** emotional

I find I need this place,
this in-between world of words
to leave of myself a trace
to feel that I've been heard
a safety net of whispers
of yearnings so dear to my soul
too fragile these delicate feelings
so in this world they fall
dancing on winds of heartbreak
imaginary and real
I find I need this place
A place where I can feel

eyes draw me in, green with grey
then to the mouth, lips where I stay
hungry, soft, then firm, then yield
safe inside those arms, a shield
for the heart, his heart, beats with mine
his soul, his passion, his strength does shine

so much more to this man, flesh and bone
within his embrace, truly I'm home

I'm obsessed~ I admit it, I don't think it's healthy
you're not pretty, you're not famous, hell you're not even wealthy
yet day after day my mind wanders to you
above all else, it's all I can do
Why?? oh why? can't I focus elsewhere?
bills, or taxes, or the color of my hair?
still there it is,  every day, my thoughts just of you
Heaven help me, it's love.  Nothing else I can do.

the kind that land ever so softly
on your lips, your cheeks, your eyelids
wisps of breath, not quite touching
then, darting off to alight in another spot
teasing, enchanting, fluttery feeling
butterfly kisses turn into so much more.....
