AS ADMIRATION DWELLS

 

As admiration dwells

In following eyes

Such attraction can lead

To unwelcome advances

But equally it could be

The perfect stranger

So she takes her chances

In search of “The one”

FALLING IN LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME

 

Falling in love for the first time

Is like a fledgling leaning to fly

But will new love crash and burn?

Or will it blaze across the sky?

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
