You are a figment of my imagination.
Yet I know you.
I've fantasized about your smile, your scent, your touch.
Its pure fascination.

I see you in my dreams at night.
Lights out but bright inside my mind.
Thoughts of you are endless
I battle my restlessness
Until morning daylight.

Would you feel the same excitement?
That passion, that seduction, I feel inside me.
Open your cage door,
To your confinement.

You lay there and dream about that soulmate.
She screams through your mind.
That song you sing in your head.
It sounds so resonate.

The time is here.
I see her across the room in the crowd.
I squash that fear of not knowing
And scream her name aloud.

I am near her, I am afraid.
Is there mutual attraction.
A quick tender kiss
Its instantaneous.
Then I know its mutual satisfaction.

A state of being

A petite girl so cute and bubby she deserves an equally precious descriptor.

I met this girl at the show who was just so Shmoe turned me inside out and I want some more.

{sush-mo}
Something me and and once good friend came up with. Like early high school late middle school.

We are sisters as such,
Elbow to elbow,
Knee to knee.
They call her Maddie and Sammie is she.

My eyes are of dark,
And hers are of blue.
Maddies got the brains in her head,
Sam's the one with sand in her shoe.

I am goofy and fearless,
Always ready to shout.
The Sam that I am
Cuz why fit in when you are born to stand out.

I'm 9 and I'm Maddie.
I wonder and think and my thoughts are in tact.
I'm smart and I'm cautious.
But remember  life' s a great balancing act.

Our dads' name is Joe Shmoe
He's a wonderful dad,  this is truer than true.
Cuz there's noone alive
That is youer than you.
Poem is dedicated to Joe for his daughters Maddie and Sam. Put a little Dr. Seus spin on it.
The shadows of the railing
By the room I played last night. 
The whistle of a siren
And the blood of a lost fight.
And the closed sign on the food store 
Broken window, crack of light
And the hurt that won't subside
won't u let me look inside?
And the 'do me' look from a burnt out *****
And the words that split my side. 
Everything makes sense somehow
It's all that I expect 
The tears I knew I'd always shed 
The freight train singing in my head.
The rocks that turned a stranded heart 
Into a sunken, flooded wreck. 
Yet,
All of this is somewhat new, 
Baby I never thought this would come from u, 
Ur soul was clean and pure and.....
Jesus Christ am I so lame 
That it snuck right up on me? 
I who's every move was honed and practised, 
1 and 2 and ******* 63 !
Oh here's the rub, the wake up call. 
I never knew that dame at all, 
She let me think she needed love
And I gave up my past, and then my love.
And when her need of me was done
And some other shmoe became the one
The line was cut, connection frayed
Her single, final, vail displayed,
she naked, danced into the shade 
So I could fall, into the sun 
Not laughed at, 
But........ 
Tolerated, 
tolerated
Tolerated........
By everyone.
Thank you. 
I'm here all week. 
Try the soup.
The shadows of the railing
By the room I played last night. 
The whistle of a siren
And the blood of a lost fight.
And the closed sign on the food store 
Broken window, crack of light
And the hurt that won't subside
won't u let me look inside?
And the 'do me' look from a burnt out *****
And the words that split my side. 
Everything makes sense somehow
It's all that I expect 
The tears I knew I'd always shed 
The freight train singing in my head.
The rocks that turned a stranded heart 
Into a sunken, flooded wreck. 
Yet,
All of this is somewhat new, 
Baby I never thought this would come from u, 
Ur soul was clean and pure and.....
Jesus Christ am I so lame
