Cheese

Someone for everyone there be?
Alas there is no one there for me.

Too different to be understood.
Too underestimated to ever be appreciated.

Alas. I am the cheese.

Dreamscape

If I could live within my dreams
Reality would be what it seems

To be the path my life should take
More real to life than while awake

But step into my awakened mind
Reality is too confined

Twisted is my life it seems
My solace is my life of dreams

A Prayer For You

Oftentimes throughout the day
We should stop, sit down and pray

Pray for those who have a need
Or just to listen to Him, so we can heed

With this in mind, I stop to do
To say a prayer, just for you

Can Not

I can not be satisfied with fame
It is fleeting

I can not be satisfied with wealth
It never lasts

I can not be satisfied with health
It eventually fades away

All I ever want in this world
Is for you to truly love me

Everlasting

How?

How do I love you?

How deep is the ocean?
It is a mere puddle
Compared to the sea of my love.

How high is the sky?
It is knee high
Compared to the height of my love.

How long is time?
It is but a moment
Compared to the length of my love.

How hard are the mountains?
They are as jelly
Compared to how solid my love is.

How precious are diamonds and gold?
They are cheap
Compared to the value of my love.

How rare is the comet
They are as plentiful as raindrops
Compared to the presence of my love.

How do I love you?

With all my best.
With all I have to give,
With all my heart.

Life ebbs and flows through-
Ups and downs occur often-

Ephesians 5:25 Love

When it comes to loving you
This is the model
That I choose

To love you sacrificially
To put you first
Above even me

To give to you
The best I have

To be for you
The best I am

On purpose
Is my love for you

With purpose
Love compels all I do

Deliberately
I give this love

As was given me
From God above

So when it comes to loving you
This is the model
That I choose

I love you sacrificially
I put you first
Above even me

GMMB

Good morning to my precious dove
I hope your day is filled with love

And just to make your day alright
I prayed to God for you last night

So rise, go forth and do great things
Fly, ever so high, on angels' wings

And alas, when your day is through
Just know my love is there for you

So shelter in a peaceful rest
Comfort in knowing you are blessed

Cell Block L

I am in prison
Held captive
And captivated

I am on lockdown
My heart is bound
With shackles and chains

I have a life sentence
Charged and convicted
Of loving you

Guilty

I Wish

I wish
You were ready
To spend
Your life with me

To plant
Some seeds
And add
To the family tree

I wish
You were ready
To believe
In us again

Where three
Becomes one
And joy
Never ends

I wish
You were ready
To see
What I can see

A wonderful
Future life
As happy
As can be

I wish
You were ready
To fly
With me

Toward
New heights
Pure ecstasy

Dream

I will
Close my eyes
And dream of thee

A vision
Of beauty's
What I'll see

I will
Fight the call
Of dawn's early light

And wish
My dream
Continue its flight

But when I awake
My present will be
To see your beautiful face in reality

Would You Mind

Would you mind
If I loved you
For a lifetime?

Would you mind
If I were
Completely yours?

Would you mind
If I surrendered
My all to you?

Would you mind
If I loved
To kiss your lips?

Would you mind
If I craved
To touch your smooth skin?

Would you mind
If I wanted to hold you close
All of the time?

Would you mind
If I wanted
To make you my bride?

Would you mind?

Girl

Girl
I live and die for you
I taught my eyes to cry for you

My pillows talk to me at night
When you're not in bed with me they say, "That ain't right!"

My love for you is tailor made
No one else fits. The pattern is laid.

My heart is shaped like the letter S
When it beats it's your voice I hear from my chest

My world would swirl through outer space
Without the glow of your sun upon its face

Girl
I live and strive for you
To share my life, no one else will do

Waiting

My love
To be
So unrequited

Whose embers
Burn the night
Is lighted

The sands
Of time
Cascade to mountains

The drops
Of rain
Turn to fountains

Tick tock
The clock
Does say

In its hands
My love
Does stay
