I feel you standing there
Fingers slide across my face
A gentle kiss to my lips
Then you gather me in haste
The moment suddenly shatters
Time barges in, getting in our way
Yet somehow I’d still been convinced
That you would surely stay

Lack of love
Hurts my heart
Why can’t people
Ever be smart
Can’t they see
What they’re missing
Love is more
Than just kissing
With genuine love
Souls connect
Hearts entwine
There’s no neglect
Is it so hard
To love this way
This is all
I have left to say

The sheets
Were the only witness
As to what transpired
That day
Ending up discarded
In a disheveled mess
On a cold
Barren floor
Tossed nonchalantly aside
Like they never
Even mattered
All the warmth
They ever gave
Instantaneously forgotten
As a sudden moment
Of unforeseen passion
Left them crumpled
And useless

Kiss me until I can’t breathe
Press your body close to mine
Do this every day to me
And feel our hearts entwine

She was always there
Resting quietly in his mind
With her smiling face
So loving and kind
Every inch of his body sensed
Her genial existence
Provoked by images of her
He offered up no resistance
And after years of searching
He knew she was the one
The light in her eyes reminded him
Of a bright morning sun
There was no denying his feelings
He had finally found his queen
She’d been there all along
Though nonexistent she had seemed
Fate had eventually been kind
Considering his deepest desires
And he wondered what he had done
To finally be blessed with all he required
