Secret Passage

Settling in for the night
Bed turned down so I sleep tight
Close my eyes fast asleep
I sink into a slumber deep
Creep to my dream you appear
Secret Passage opens near
Should I explore this route in view
Dark corridors that lead straight to you?
Should I depart my bed so warm
To follow this trail, hearts quiet storm
Cobwebbed flashlight now in hand
I linger in limbo no action plan
New morn dawns as I awake
My hopeful heart, considers, awaits
What vision would call me to you
My dreams connect, continually view
Your soul, spirit, your memory
You are a constant reverie
In my dreams, my room appear
Secret passage out of nowhere
Leading me straight to you

I Said Goodbye to the Devil

I said Goodbye
to the Devil
Though I was
Very shy

I turned around
and walked away
Didn't look him
in the eye

I'd spent months
making my case
Playing the cards
at hand

Proving my loyalty
showing my worth
In hopes that he'd
be my man

Took me a while
But soon I realized
The game but the
Joke was on me

All of the things
I'd wanted from him
was simply
my own fantasy

I said Goodbye
to the Devil
Gathered my courage
And walked away

Full of his empty words
and treating me mean
Sick of his selfish heart
His soul unclean

Tired of the promises
he didn't keep
and the places
we didn't meet

or the hiding behind
night sky
or how in the
daylight
he'd turn a
blind eye

And I like a toy
was played and used
tossed, forgotten
broken and abused

Russian roulette
lover I'd become
Then one day
I was finally done

Over the waiting
And hoping against
hope that
one day...
He'd love me

I Said Goodbye
to the Devil
He Never knew
When I was gone

Sometimes
I see him
in my dreams
but this time
my heart is Done

I'd Always Want You

I know one night
Would NEVER be
Enough time for me
To express my love

How could I treat
Gourmet like fast food
Van Gogh like stencils
Chanel like Calgon

Everyone asks for just a night
But have they no concept of
what true love is like?

A bevy of magnificence
A cloud of wonder
Studded night sky with stars unnumbered
Sparkling, lights of tremendous perfection
Bursts of electric melodies, too numerous to mention
All cascading into a kiss

Tumultuous emotion
Awakened too soon to a heart
Just unready for this
Chaotic monsoon,
Of passion and restlessness
Wistful sighs
Maddening heartbeat
Piercing eyes

I would forever long
for your touch my friend
For when the night is done
I'd want to see you again

So my dear
I'd always want you
T'was love at first sight
Just one kiss will never do

Passion Rejected, Lovers Scorned

The rhythmic pounding
Incessant beating
Time keeping
Sound of
My heart

Steeped deep in confusion
Dark grief muddies
The gentle water of hope in my soul

Passion strong
Intent wistful
My soul hopes in vain
Searches
Longing to find
My love

Target locked
You are the one
Fire starter of my being
Tempered expectation
Fevered crescendo of adoration erupts
Engulfing my singular frame

Without warning
Unprepared I enter
This realm of emotion
Meant for the heart strong
Like a babe
I steady myself
First steps of passion
Embracing unknown terrain

Flames inhaling flesh
Sweet enticing visions
Of togetherness

Restrained heat sultry arms
Stealing away lovers at night
Caution left behind for
Forbidden pleasure

Passion rejected
Lovers scorned
Why can’t we
Be together?

It is you, I love

I have tried in vain to deny
This one simple truth
Tried to bury my feelings
Push aside, how I feel about you

Before I have rhymed of logic
How it no longer provides for me
A reason, argument or solution
For this new insanity

When I see you my heart rate soars
Yet with each beat stands still
My body quakes and trembles
No longer responding to my will

Soul mate, could it be you?
For my heart would give me no peace
I have done all I could to do
Yet I can find no release

And should I run as it were
To the four corners of the earth
Just to temper this passion inside
Deny my very worth

If only to find a way
My feeling for you so strong
To restrain these new emotions
Existing within my soul

I would sing of magnificent vistas
Dream of opulent hues
Swirl in the mist of possibilities
Of a life I could share with you

Why me, why now, why this
Why here, why us, why you
No answer will suffice
Or negate this passion true

Good God! I cry in vain
I wrench my heart in tears
My prayer arise to heaven
To my fathers listening ears

Yet he sees with in me the cause
The reason my love goes away
And he tells me I must be healed
Before my love with me would stay

It is you, it is you, it is you
My soul would daily declare
My sunshine maker you are
My beautiful Delly dear
I love
