What If
What If
What if I
And what if you
Took a lie
And made it true?
What if one day
And what if they
Gave back to us
What they took away?
What if, what if
If you and me
Shared all the love
There'll ever be?
And what if you
And what if I
Could stop not caring
And dare to try?
What if they're real
The things that seem
So real in fantasy
And outside dream?
What if we wake
To a bright new morn
That love creates
And be reborn?
What if this woman
What if this man
Become one from two
If you take my hand?
What if's the question
And the heavy blow
But if you don't answer
We'll never know.
What if.........................?

A Woman Needs To Hear
A Woman Needs To Hear
A woman needs to hear.....
"I love you"
About seven times a day
She needs to hear........
"I need you"
Not feel she's in your way.
A woman needs to hear
In a soft romantic voice
"Come here, woman! I want you!"
That she's your one and only choice.
A woman needs to hear
The things you do not say
But the things a woman's heart can hear
When you just look her way.
A woman needs so many things
Like love, trust and desire
A hand to hold, a caring soul
And a constant burning fire.
But more than anything, I think
Even the sweetness in a word
She needs to hear you convey to her
That you've listened and you've heard.

As The Night Writes Us It's Song
As The Night Writes Us It's Song
I want you like I need you
I need you like I love
I love you like the ground below
And like the sky above
I feel you in the twilight
Like soft sand 'neath my feet
Coming through the atmosphere
And there my heart to meet
Touching me with just your eyes
Devouring with your glance
You reach for me as your soul sings
And pulls me close to dance
The day, forgotten, the night, awaits
And loneliness is gone
We kiss, we love, we touch, we sing
As the night writes us it's song

Always The Rain
Always The Rain
I was the fire
He was the rain
I was the pleasure
He was the pain
I was the joy
He was the woe
I was the yes
He was the no
I was the sweet
He was the tart
I was the whole
He tore apart
I was the sun
He was the moon
I was the bright
He was the gloom
I was the dance
He was the dirge
I was the giver
(He didn't splurge)
I was the teacher
Life did employ
He was the child
I was the toy
I was the hopeful
He, hope disdained
I opened doors
He slammed again
I gave him love
He took and ran
Enticed me back
Hurt me again
I was the passion
Blazing upward like flame
I was always the fire
But he was ever the rain.

All Night Cafe
All Night Cafe
Starving for love in late afternoon,
We met at the cafe down the hall
Anticipating a snack
That turned into a banquet,
That turned into a midnight feast,
That led to a breakfast buffet.
(Damn!
You are one fine
short order cook!)

A Man Again
A Man Again
My life is like a shadowed room
With sun afraid to shine
But I would throw the windows open
If only you were mine.
Cobwebs full of memories
Hang ’round this silent place
And everywhere my eyes might look
It’s there I see your face.
There is no music in this house
Except within my head
It followed you right out the door
Glanced back and then fell dead.
I look around and see myself
A remnant of a man
A ghost that has no one to haunt
A soul without a hand.
For I would reach that hand to you
And let you taste my tears
And I would show myself to you
And let you see my fears.
If only you would come to me
If only you would come
And turn this ravaged heart of mine
Into your home sweet home.
It rains here every single night
It thunders out my pain
I cannot look upon the light
Till I see you again.
My bed lies un-used and un-made
For I no longer sleep
My dreams are fragile waking things
Not real enough to keep.
But midnights in the lightning’s flash
The mirror shows you true
Standing here alone with me
In love like I’m with you.
I do not move for if I do
Your sweet face fades away
And all my love and all my need
Cannot make you stay.
So I stand still and do not breathe
And do not speak out loud
But love you with my hungry eyes
No longer cold and proud.
For when I was a mortal man
And not this apparition
I took for granted all I had
So full of supposition.
Then I woke up, a broken man
In this broken home
My sad voice echoing off the walls
Begging you to come.
Love, come, love, come !
Live here with me again
Bring back the days I counted loss
Not knowing what I’d gained.
The past is never truly gone
I know that for a fact
But show me where you threw my love
And I’ll go get it back.
My life is like a shadowed room
And your smile is the sun
If you’ll just meet me half way, love
The rest of the way, I’ll run.
I’d tear these dusty cobwebs down
If you gave me a sign
I know I could be a real man again
If you were only mine.

My Angel
My Angel
My angel brings me sunshine in the morning
My angel brings me starshine in the night
My angel tucks me in when I am tired
And tells me every thing will be alright.
My angel is the flower in the concrete
Growing indomitably through the crack
Showing me how great the love of God is
And finding what I've lost to bring it back.
My angel has no wings that I've discovered
No shiny halo up above their head
My angel manifests as ordinary
But in ways un-ordinary, brings dreams back from the dead.
My angel gives me songs when I am sorrowed
My angel dries my tears each time I cry
My angel fills my heart with joy and laughter
And does these things without me knowing why.
Walking down these roads of life so lonely
I stopped believing there would come a day
When love would bloom just like a dandelion
But unlike such, refuse to blow away.
I guess I learned the hard way to stop trusting
For trust was something I was born to give
They say that those that love the most are loved the least
But even I, could not my love, outlive.
It stayed inside a tiny hole in my soul
And looked to find another heart to feel
And when it spied the dear face of my angel
At last it sighed and said love must be real.
I know deep down that you're really not an angel
You're another lonely lost soul just like me
But when you take my hand and look in my eyes
That shiny halo above your head.... is all that I can see.

Questions Seeking Answers repost
Questions Seeking Answers
You ask
And wait silently
For my answer
But I have none to give
Only hope to hope on
And wishes to wish on
And prayers to pray.
I don't know
Any more than you do
What tomorrow holds
Or what God grants
Or fate brings..........
Up until now
There has been no fairy tale
Or destined quest
Or dream come true
For me
And without question, you.
For only hearts
That have been broken
And discarded and dis-enchanted
Can ask the questions
That you ask
Only souls that have been disappointed
And betrayed and un-restored
Can venture into that mire of uncertainty
And still risk losing it all once more.
Therefore, let us stay here
In this moment,
In this second that we have been granted
The best of all seconds among minutes and hours
And weeks and months and years of years:
This room full of love
And this endless kiss
This sweet satisfaction
And passionate bliss
It will not be enough for tomorrow, no
Nor any lonely day or night after that....
But it is enough for now.
The blazing fire cools
Compared to your touch
The wine sours
Compared to your kiss
The furs we lie on
Seem rough
Compared to your bare chest
And my silkened skin
That pulls you to me in hunger.
I cannot answer your questions, my love
But I can confess with candid heart
And willing soul..........
That I desire to know those answers
Just as much as you do
Perhaps, more
Perhaps, more...........
And perhaps tomorrow
Will bring us those answers
In one form or another.
Till then, hold me
Kiss me, bend me to your will
For I think you will find
That your will is my will
And mine, yours
As it always has been
And was in forgotten dreams
And is now, in this delicate
And beautiful moment.
For when you hold me
Close against your heart like this,
And kiss me tenderly like that,
And our eyes melt into one another's this way,
I can believe in fairytales once more
And destined quests and dreams that come true
Even if they never came true before......
And I can forget those questions
In search of answers that I don't know now
Because all that matters to me in all the world
Is this, this moment lying here with you
Feeling like a princess in the arms of a prince
Who has just inherited the kingdom
That was made with my love.
