LOVE WASHED OVER ME

 

Love washed over me

Arriving at my feet,

Like the lapping of waves

On a lonely beach

But it drifted away

On the ebb tide

GIGOLO AND GIGOLETTE

 

Right from the start

He lost his heart

When the gigolo met

His lovely gigolette

And philandered no more

Now he had his paramour

SHOULD I RUN?

I ask myself

Should I run to you?

And keep our secret tryst

For that sweet joy

Of being kissed

 

I ask myself

Should I run from you?

And protect my heart

But endure the pain

Of being apart

 

So I must ask myself

What joy exists

In sterile safety

Compared to being kissed

So I run to you

To the love and chemistry

And drown myself

In your sweet serenity 

I FOUND MY ONE TRUE LOVE

I found my one true love

My soulmate and when

I first laid eyes on her

My eyes saw only beauty

And at once I heard music

Where there was clearly none

But I heard it nonetheless

I could tell she heard it too

And she smiled at its significance

So I returned the smile

To my heart’s desire

And then we were caught-up

In an all embracing kiss

And our love is still singing

THE LOVE IN US

The love in me

Touches your heart and soul

And I feel a love divine

The love in you

Touches my heart and soul

And we share a love divine

The love in us

Binds us body and soul

And we bask in a love divine

WHY IS IT THAT LOVES TEMPERATE FLAME

 

Why is it that

Loves temperate flame

Cools the bearer over time 

Why is it so sweet

And yet so fleeting

And why does love

Fill a heart with joy

Yet age the lovers

Like a wilting flower

OUR FIRST MEETING WAS BENEATH

 

Our first meeting was beneath

A sky of perfect blue

When a shaft of summer sun

Set your copper hair ablaze

Unspoken smiles were exchanged

Followed by silent acknowledgement

And love bloomed like a desert flower

After fall of summer rain
