Love
Have You Seen This Woman Yet?
Have you seen this woman yet?
The one with style and grace,
Uniquely unavoidable, perfect in leather or lace.
Have you seen the way she moves?
She doesn't walk she stalks the room.
Severely in control, simply dangerous I'd say.
Have you met this woman yet?
She has a fragrance you won't forget,
And like a rose you'll stay to smell her sweet perfume.
Even when she's left the room.
If you meet this woman then, say hello for me,
But shield your heart or she'll steal it
away Just like she's done to me.
The First Time That I Saw You
The first time that I saw you,
I was filled with disbelief,
For I thought you were an angel,
As you glided down the street.
And I can't believe you did that to me.
And the first time that you ever said my name,
I was captured, held entranced,
And this is quite hard to explain,
But all I wanted was to hear you say
My name again.
And when you lay down by my side
I swear to God I thought I'd died,
And I knew then,
That I would never lie alone in bed again.
And when we pressed our lips in time,
I knew then that you'd be mine,
And we would be together for all eternity.
I still can't believe you did that to me.
Rat-A-Tat Tat
Rat-a-tat tat roars the concrete jack,
But still all I hear is you say,
"Darling, I think I'm in love with you",
And asking me if I feel the same way.
Oomff, POW, crack,
Goes the sledge hammers whack,
As I remember the words that I said.
"Sweetheart I know I'm in love with you,
From now till the day that I'm dead".
The dust how it flies,
How it clouds up the skies,
So I'm shocked when the dust settles down,
And I've found that I've carved
'I TRULY LOVE YOU'
On the ceiling the walls and the ground.
Sweetheart We Kiss
Sweetheart, we kiss,
We kiss and the world dissolves around me.
We hold each other tightly and nothing could tear us apart.
Our lives are intertwined and that keeps me from unraveling.
You are everything to me, my life, my love, my sweetheart.
Your touch, so gentle and soft you melt me.
Comforting, caring, caress.
Your beauty in my eyes is eternal,
If compared I would say you're the best.
Sweetheart we kiss.
Rose Petals
Rose petals envy your silky soft lips,
They taste just like wine,
Though far sweeter to kiss.
And all the worlds lilies
Would long for your skin,
Yet not one flower created
Could match your beauty within.
I Drink You Like Water
I drink you like water
Your sex is like rain
You drench my desires,
Like a flood fills the plain.
Your love is a well
That I drink from within,
My heart how it thirsts
For one sip of your skin.
Shower me with your passions,
Drowned me with your kiss,
Quench all of my desires
With a torrent of love
From your lips.
It's In Your Eyes
It's in your eyes,
The warmth of your touch,
The softness of your skin,
That makes me love you O' so much.
It's all the little things you say,
That make me think of you each day,
And all those special things you do,
That make me keep on loving you.
There was magic in the air
When you glanced in my direction
And all I did was stand and stare.
It seems my days are now complete
With you happily here in my life.
And I thought,
Wouldn't it be outstanding
If you wanted to be my wife?
Wishing On A Star
I don't remember wishing on a star,
But here I am and there you are
And suddenly my troubles seem so far away.
I feel as though you are my destiny.
Happiness has replaced my misery.
The darkness has been lifted,
My path is brighter,
My course has shifted,
And all because you're standing next to me.
I never thought I'd find my way,
But There you are my super hero
Riding up to save the day.
And I am truly grateful.
I guess that's all there is to say.
The Moon Seems So Close
The moon seems so close yet is so far away,
It faithfully appears at the end of each day,
So I'm sending this letter attached to the moon,
Knowing you will be seeing it soon.
Though I live over here, over there you must stay,
In my heart you're so close, yet you're so far away,
So I'm sending this letter attached to the moon
Knowing you will be seeing it soon.
If you'd like you can read it at the end of each day,
It says everything you'd expect me to say,
You can read it again and again every night,
Like the moon love is faithful
And will shine just as bright.
P.S.
I love you my darling,
Sweet dreams and good night.
The Cost of Loving You
What is the cost of loving you?
What is the price I should pay?
In order that I might stand next to you,
Hearing 'darling I love you' each day.
What do I owe you for having my child,
For creating a life in that way?
How much should I pay
For changing house into home,
And there in planning to stay?
The value of money is far less than your worth,
In fact it would take all the money on earth.
So in order to settle what I could never repay,
I've promised to love you
More and more every day.
So Quickly, So Suddenly
Is this the hand of God,
Are you my destiny,
Is this the way my life
Is really meant to be?
I am not blind
Though these things I cannot see.
Are you the one that heaven sent to me?
I was enslaved before you set my spirit free,
And this happened so very fast,
Almost naturally.
I am happier now than I ever thought I could be.
I really hope beyond all hope,
That you are my destiny.
This Woman
I've met this woman,
She's not a girl,
She's as different as gold is to a pearl.
She's not like anyone I've ever met before,
And now nothing seems to matter anymore.
I only want to feel her in my arms,
To feel her subtle charms,
And today there's only one thing I can say,
I hope to God that she never goes away.
Lust
Lust like one's own laughter
Is more human than divine.
It lasts but for a moment
Then quickly fades with time.
Love, true love is eternal
It can never be untied.
It has bound us all together
And will justify our lives.
Sometimes it is difficult to tell,
Which is lust and which is love,
But I've learned that if your patient,
God will guide you from above.
And if you're wise enough to wait,
On divine destiny,
I'll guarantee your happiness,
Throughout eternity.
Love, Lust And Passion
Don't confuse love, lust and passion.
Love is not lust, and lust should never
be confused with passion.
True love endures all tests of time.
True lust is the spark in one's heart
which lights the flame eternal.
True passion is the fuel on which our hearts will forever burn.
And love, true love is the vessel which
we keep forever deep inside,
Allowing us to live and have happiness
Together in both our lives.
Do not confuse love, lust and passion.
Lust is the spark that lights the flame,
Passion is the fuel that burns within,
And love is the vessel that holds the fire.
I Hold Your Hand
I hold your hand
And feel your soul is touching me,
Yes your soul touches me entirely.
In this I hope eternally.
We hug each other tightly
And I feel your spirit covers me,
Yes your spirit covers me entirely.
In this I hope eternally.
We kiss, and time just melts away.
You become a part of me,
I in you and you in me.
In this I hope eternally.
I hold your hand, your soul touches me.
We hug, your spirit covers me.
We kiss, you become a part of me.
In this I hope eternally.
I Didn't Ask
I didn't ask for you to save me.
I never wanted you to have my baby.
I didn't want you to save my life.
I never asked you to be my wife.
And if I did I'm sure you'd say I was crazy.
But even so I think you'd probably just say maybe.
I didn't ask, but I think you are the solution
Or at least some type of resolution,
To all of this confusion.
You
Your color, your texture, your taste.
The way your smile lights up your face.
Life is wonderful since the day that I met you.
And now everything is wonderful it's true.
Every little thing you do,
Is like magic in my eyes,
And all the simple things you say,
Always take me by surprise.
Things are so much better
Than they were just yesterday.
And I am truly grateful
I guess that's all I have to say.
I Know
I know exactly how you feel
Because my love for you is real.
And I'd love to hear you say
That you love me in the same way.
My life like yours had gone astray
And everything I had
Was lost or taken away.
But here you are today
And I would really like to say,
That I know exactly how you feel
Because my love for you is real.
With you I feel brand new.
The rain has stopped, my tears are gone
And the sun is shining brighter than it did just yesterday.
And there's one more thing I'd like to say,
I'm here to wipe your tears away.
Because my love for you is real,
And I know exactly how you feel.
A Woman's Body
A woman's body is made for a man.
From the time of his youth,
Lo from before he was born,
She has always been his woman.
He has always longed for her breast.
He has always longed for her form.
Her eyes, her lips, her hair,
Her erotic scent that fills the air.
When she is gone he feels nowhere.
But when she is there,
Therein he feels not a care.
And her lips, pressed against his skin,
There is healing powers yet within.
A simple touch, a simple kiss,
And yes this is all a man would miss,
As he dares to draw his last breath,
And think himself these things the best.
I Really Think I Understand
I really think I understand why a woman needs a man,
And a man does all he can to find a wife.
When God spit upon the ground then stirred the mud around,
And with his mighty breath he brought Adam to life.
Then with a rib from Adams side,
He formed a woman as Adams bride,
Named her Eve and Adam took her as his wife.
Ever since that faithful day, though
both of them had gone astray,
A man has longed for a woman to abide.
He feels complete with a woman by his side.
Baby You Drive Me Insane
Baby you drive me insane
With those sexy clothes you wear.
So beautiful blind men drop their canes
Turn around and stare.
And the way that you walk,
It makes the muted boys talk.
And the deaf listen in on every word that is said.
Your looks could wake the dead.
Baby you drive me insane.
You've affected my brain.
And there's nothing in this world
That I wouldn't do just to be with you.
And I know that the blind
and the deaf
and the mutes
and the dead
Would give anything right now,
If they could be with you too.
Love Lost
Every Day I Lay My Heart Down
Every day I lay my heart down at your feet,
Because you're lovely kind and sweet,
And every day you gently move it to the side and walk on by,
Still every day I try.
Every day I try to show you how I feel,
Because my love for you is real,
And every day you kindly smile and walk on by,
Still every day I try.
So every day when you see me do the same as yesterday,
Know that I'll keep trying,
Because I love you every day,
And tomorrow I will love you even more than yesterday.
How Can I Abandon True Love?
How can I abandon true love?
Relinquishing my passions,
Surrendering my dreams,
Abolishing God's blessings,
And all that they would bring.
How could I be absolved of all these things?
How could I turn my face from loving you?
For as God so loved the world,
Though each one of us is yet untrue.
How could I abandon true love,
And turn my face from you?
No I choose to forgive all of your sins.
I absolve you of your transgressions
And all you've ever been.
For the sake of love I choose to vindicate,
As the admission of love is at stake.
And nothing but love is valued as great.
Truly how could I stop loving you?
A Diamond Is Of No Value
A diamond is of no value.
It cannot shine on its own.
It cannot grow to feed the poor,
nor shelter or keep them warm.
It's naturally misshapen
And must be ground to form.
It seems its only propose
Is to ultimately be worn.
My love is like a diamond,
I'd hoped you'd cherish it.
I offered it for you to wear,
And hoped that it would fit.
But you took my love for granted,
And then you gave it back,
Saying "This is just a big clear rock,
Now where's the value in that?"
It's Not The Way She Looks
It's not the way she looks,
Though the way she looks
Is way beyond compare.
It's the way she looks at you,
And the way she looks at you
Is rather like a stare.
I wonder what she's thinking,
Because what she's really thinking
Is something way out there.
I want to know what she knows.
Because I know that she knows
What I know and she really doesn't care.
I like to go over there because when I do,
I'm over hear and she's over there,
And she looks at me with that stare
That say's "I really don't care."
A Bird Is To A Cat
It's like a bird is to a cat,
A spider and a fly,
I have fallen for your trap,
Entangled prey am I.
For you to do with as you will,
A petty toy am I.
Something more to be amused,
To let survive or die.
You delight in my reactions,
And how powerful are you.
And how pitiful am I,
To let you tell me what to do.
You are like an addiction,
To me you are a need,
You are the only substance,
That my mind and body feed.
And just like an addiction,
You're in my garden like a weed.
I Wonder What You're Thinking
I wonder what you're thinking,
When you look in to my eyes?
If what was true came shining through,
We both would be surprised.
I wonder what you're thinking?
I'd really like to know.
Because whatever you are thinking,
Never seems to show.
Are you happy?
Are you sad?
Are you lonely?
Are you mad?
Why is it that you never ever smile?
Understanding what's in your head
Is going to take a while.
Something That Stands Between Us
I love you,
Yet there's something that stands between us,
Like I'm on the planet Mars,
And you're on the planet Venus.
Sometimes I feel that you're a million miles away.
We are as far apart as night time is to Day.
I love you,
But there's something not copasetic,
And I am sure that we'll regret it.
Though I really wish this wasn't true,
There is nothing this world could do,
To make me stay with you.
I love you.
And though are hearts are far away,
And our minds and souls have gone astray,
We're still a million miles away.
And that's how it's going to stay,
I guess we're better off that way.
You Prick, You Dick
You Prick, you Dick,
You low life piece of Shit.
I've no idea what you're thinking,
But what I do know makes me sick.
Everything about you,
Every single thing you do,
Shows me that you're total scum,
And everyone knows it's true.
You're the lowest form of life on earth,
They should have put you back at birth.
You're the reason that I own a gun.
Normally I'd shoot you just for fun.
Just one bullet in the head,
Your mom would thank me when you're dead.
Your slimier than spit,
You low life piece of shit.
Liar, Liar Pants On Fire
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Every single thing you said,
And all those things you used to do,
Not one single thing about you,
Was even close to true.
I don't even think you even know yourself.
You never move from here to there,
Without some sort of stealth.
What were you before,
Before you turned into a lying whore?
Were you ever someone beautiful?
Because you're not that any more.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
You're really just a slut.
And you will always be that way,
Always, no matter what.
