BEING AND UNDERSTANDING

Rebellion is one thing.
rebellion over not getting your way or not being accepted for who you are.
Not being appreciated for all you do.
Being expected to carry someone through.
Being asked to be someone you cannot be.
Being thought of as being weak, because you can show the full spectrum of emotion.
Being clueless about what you have done to upset someone.
Being asked to know that you should have understood that certain behavior leads to certain outcomes.
Being in touch with someone's feelings above your own.
Being expected to not always make it about you.
Being respectful of your partner's feelings.
Being re-assured that your partner will respect your feelings
Being kept at arms length for your actions.
Being quiet about your partner's social activities.
Being trusting whenever you're apart
Being expected to hold your own whenever absent from your partner.

Understanding the needs, desires, wants of your love.
Understanding when they need to be left alone to figure out their own doubts.
Understanding that what is said is not always what was intended to be said.
Understanding that not everything is about you.
Understanding your not always right, you do not have all the answers.
Understanding the needs of your partner and anticipating to accomodate them.
Understanding the need of space and separation when appropriate.
Understanding the need of being there for your partner when appropriate.
Understanding the limits of giving as in the taking.
Understanding mutual respect for boundaries.
Understanding when to say enough is enough.
Understanding the art of foreplay, allowing enough time to make it special.
Understanding your the reason they want to be with you.

FANTASY DISCOVERY

She came into my life out of nowhere

Completely unexpected and catching my eye

She looked to me, struck my heart as if she had always been there

My heart melting, skipping a beat, could I even begin to try?

She moved slowly, smoothly gliding her fingers over her hips

Seductive, enticing, never breaking her gaze from mine

As she draws nearer, the sunlight reflecting off her sublime lips

I stand before her, knees slightly quivering, frozen in time

Moving slowly closer, longing  to connect, hoping this is not a dream

She continues to glide ever so near~leaning her face towards me

Meeting her lips, almost touching, brushes ever so slightly, my head gleams 

Fantasy slipping towards reality~touching her lips, can this be?

Hands slightly tremble, reaching out to embrace this new found love

Glimmering hands entwine~the circle completes, life-force joined as one

absorbed in golden light, merging together, beaming affirmation from above

Letting it begin, starting the journey of discovery under the sun.

IT'S NOT EASY BEING DUMPED

Been on both sides of that fence
Can't say I have enjoyed either side
who would have thought our love would ever die
Erased by the one whom you thought would always try
Oh yes, so easy to say I should have known from the start
Truth be known, I couldn't possibly have believed she was capable of such hurt
And while my heart was filleted on the table,
she enveloped me in another wave of hurt, proving she is quite able
Well, as I was told by another admirer, he  hoped she would dump my sorry ass
Sweet revenge came at last although too much time had passed
I still feel sorrow for the loss but I know you don't believe me to be capable
Now I'm on the other end, laying broken and unstable
I know all things come to pass
I move on hoping to mend pieces of broken glass
She must think true love is easy to find
How else could she become so unkind
Unable to even tell me to my face
all I keep repeating is, yours is no disgrace

FINDING OURSELVES

We seek ourselves on higher ground

sometimes weakness rules the night

other times it's pure delight

In darkness, the light can be found

I need to understand the compromise 

Not be afraid to become surprised

Our love will always be there

All we need is provided for those who ask

We only need to accept our lord and have no fear

Let his love be our guiding light through all our tasks

Treat each other as we would like to be treated

If we can truly do this, we can never feel defeated

Trust in ourselves first, then in those who have touched our life

Don't be consumed by the tears of despair

open our hearts and be blessed with hands of repair

Restoration be our salvation, our redeeming quality

We've been given this precious gift of life beyond death

With so little asked for in return other than belief

And doing for others what goodness has bestowed upon us

Seems like a simple choice that can bring so much relief

If we're open to change we can learn how to trust

As I await the new life ahead of me

I keep the faith born from his tree 

LOVE OF MY LIFE

I've been thinking of my love

She makes me feel like an angel up above

Truth is she is the sweetest angel to ever bless my life

I love her so much and one day will make her my wife

Our hearts bound together with no demands for ourselves

Rich in rewards for a life not driven by wealth

How can I describe how my love has taught me how to love

Each time I think our love cannot grow

she'll pull me closer taking me into a deeper bliss from above

Convincing me that true love knows no limits
Unconditional love growing with her forever

To witness such joy that I have never imagined could be

The blessings my love brings only for me

Our love is so special as we are truly blessed

with two hearts joined as one we stand above the rest

We will soon be together having conquered our trials

Our love will not be denied, we will journey many miles

How does one give thanks for such a precious gift she gives asking for nothing more

than to give her back with abundant lust for life like never before

A love like this I could never let go

Knowing in our heart that it can only grow


One day soon I'll show up on her door

Pull up wearing a rose in my teeth holding an umbrella and playing Blue October eighteenth floor
This I will do when we are ready to be joined as one
Knowing in our hearts what our life will become

HEART DON'T FAIL ME NOW

I was soaring so high

bound to hit something

should have seen it coming

I disappointed, I made sad

all I wanted was to feel secure

long distance gaps, feeling the strain

needing the touch, the sight, her fragrance

should have just gone with the flow, why did it go astray

inner workings short circuited again

bring back the moment, instant replay, rewind, do over

truth is I knew all along there was no problem

why spill out the fear why question that which is secure

didn't mean any harm, no need for alarm

when will the last ounce of doubt be removed from my head

heart failed me again

or was it just skip a bit when it should have jumped

forgiven for sure, disappointed yes

move back up into our bliss

THE WOMAN I RESPECT

Take her at face value lest ye gamble with her heart

One so different and so real you knew it from the start

She has shown you how to love for real with dignity and respect

And taken your heart into hers forever what more could you expect

It's too easy to second guess when your life has been a mess

Some of us let the real thing get away without even taking a guess

While others ponder the significance of true love, never experiencing the bliss

Wandering aimlessly cut off from their heart heading for a near miss

While I use to be one of them, today I pity they that can't see their fire

After time all doubt washed away we are left with true devotion

A feeling of blessed awakening erupts into all emotion

I surrender willingly knowing there can be no other

Who amongst them could ever doubt this is my one true lover

How do I repay this incredible heart for showing me the meaning of life

I guard her heart back with my life and treat her with utmost respect

For you see for me there has never been anyone close that I've ever met

Who could ever hold a candle to her love devotion and fire

A gift so bold and precious given with so much desire

Deserves to be pampered admired and honored each day that we live

This I ask for in return for I have nothing more to give.
