We had just made love
I left for shorts
Came back as promised and longed
I'm back to where we made love
but there's no love made by us
I thought we made some in the sheets
who took the sheets
I thought we rubbed it all over our skins
who bleached it
looking around the corner
everywhere is empty,
Ran up the the banister  
No where to be found
Waited till night fall
Asked the DJ for the love we made
'The dancing floor is empty'
No love left to dance
I remember we left some there
Where's the love we made
These sheets don't smell again of it
who cleaned out all our love
Wheres the warmth we shared
It was in a room high up in the cream castle
I'm there and there's no love
none left; none kept
What's our love's worth?
I looked to rekindle the flame
'Wish you were here'
quickly, briefly and strong
the light was cut out
I'm not hurt... I am just not lost
I just want to know
Wheres the love we made
Reminiscing on the Love we made...

He's a bleeding heart
A liberal lover
He's a master poet
My beer lovin brother
For you, Rick, with much respect and deep regards.

The sun is shining
The sky is baby blue
The crimson trees are waving
And I'm loving you

The air is crisp
The day is true
The squirrels are dancing
And I'm loving you

The Autumn smiles
The long days are through
The people are praying
And I'm loving you

He's the Raven that's anything but dark
Not mysterious or melancholy
Repetitious yes, but not a negative "nevermore"  
Always a positive and encouraging word
Never met a poem he didn't love
Less black, more white, like a dove
Two innocent eyes look up at me
Blue pleading watery eyes
I catch that moment on my cellphone
Before long they would be gone!

Come back cute fluff
I croon in each dark corner
Come back milk bright fur
Come back silk smooth caress
You can’t have gone too far!

Crescent moon hides you in shadow
Covers you the pale ashen star
Come back not wrench my heart
You can’t have gone too far!

Why the ones I love don’t stay long
Like you I carry on my cellphone
A few tunes and part composed song
Hushed into dusty yellow tone!

Why I can’t hold them back
The ones I love disappear at dawn
Go hide in the moon’s shadow
Leaving me bruised forlorn!
I was starting to catch feelings
Turns out you weren't right for me
Moving on without you
I felt connected now we are distant
Overtime my feelings fade I craved her to be around
The days off missing you are over
The days of reaching out and being lead on end
Start new not saving a place for you in my heart
You go away I wish you the best
I want and wish for better I deserve love things feel right and natural
