That day you left
I want to forget.
That day you left
I have to remember.
That day you left
Was a nightmare.
That day you left
Was a dream.
That day you left
I felt such anguish.
That day you left
I felt nothing at all.
That day you left
Diminished me. You took the best part.
That day you left
Only memories remain.
That day you left
I hated you for leaving me behind.
That day you left
I loved you for being in my life.
That day you left
I felt your face grow cold.
That day you left
I remembered your warmth.
That day you left
My old life ended.
That day you left
My new life began.
That day you left
I tried to say good-bye.
That day you left.
I find I'm trying still...
Last night, I had that dream, again.
You were there, smiling at me.
I felt you envelop me, like a great cover.
Your warmth kept me safe.
You looked at me with those gentle eyes
Dancing with so much life.
You spoke with that soft voice...
I heard you in my mind.
When I reached out to touch you,
Your eyes grew sad,
Your voice, silent.
That feeling of life, slipping away...
NOOOOOOO...!!!
Don't leave me, again! PLEASE...
I awaken. In the dark. Terrified.
Breath rapid. Body soaked with sweat.
My mind struggles to adjust to the truth.
It was just a dream.
Just a dream...
It's my life that's the nightmare.
When we think about it
When we really do
Life has no clear meaning
Until it is through...
It is at that moment
When we come to realize
Just how much we need that person
And, what they added to our lives.
It hits us like a hammer
It brings us to our knees
Our loved one...gone forever
Then, sanity flees.
Chaotic feelings run rampant
A cyclone spinning 'round
A deluge of emotion
Drives us to the ground.
The anguish is unbearable
And, it tears us all apart
It seems to last forever
That wound in our heart.
Time is said to heal all
If enough of it goes by...
But, how much does it take
To recover, when they die?
The answer to the question
Is not a simple one
For each of us, it's different
For some, it's never done.
To finally accept the loss
The hardest task of all
To face the fact, they won't be back...
The teardrops freely fall.
They wash across our senses
And when, at last, they cease
Perhaps, we will be granted
At least, a little peace.
We welcome any notion
To dull the ache inside
We resign ourselves to the loss
To get on with our lives.
Thoughts that strike
Out of the blue
Are the source
Of our inspiration.
For artisans
For inventors
For dreamers
For lovers.
It influences beautiful objects
Wondrous contraptions
Magnificent ideas
And passionate emotions.
It moves us
To become
Much, much more
Than we really are.
It compels us
To think and contemplate
To grow and expand
To create and produce.
It is the catalyst
Of all art
From time's beginning
To present day.
So, let us be thankful
Of this awesome gift
That brightens our lives
And makes it worthwhile.
When we touch
The world slips away
I lose myself
Within the circle of love
Created by our bodies
The warmth
The smoothness
A liquid dream come true
Heartbeats matching
I listen to yours
I feel it
Strong
Steady
It thrills me
My palms slide across your skin
Exquisite friction
Your scent feels me
I breathe in deeply
It intoxicates me
I stare into your eyes
As you do mine
I glimpse your soul...
I am mesmerized
As we kiss
Incredible softness
Beyond belief
I tremble with desire
And begin my descent
I detour to sample your breasts
To tease your nipples
Small sounds issue from your throat
I work my way down to your navel
I pause to dip my tongue into it
You jerk with surprise
I smile
I lick my lips
My tongue trails down...
With burning lust, barely contained
I capture you with my mouth
My tongue finds its own way
Developing a mind of its own
I hear a low moaning...
I realize, to my astonishment
That it's coming from me!!
I feel lightheaded
Everything merges together
I abandon myself to you...
You are the center of the universe
You are the sole purpose for my being
I am wholly yours...
I hear you gasp
As your loins erupt
Fiery and wet
Your entire body vibrates
You drench me with your essence
I strive to catch every drop
I relish it
It delights me
I rejoice in it
It's heaven on earth...
As we lazily embrace
In the rich afterglow
I think to myself
How wonderful you are
And, how lucky I am
To have found you
So, so fortunate...
We are together
Feeling the other's nearness
We embrace each other
Our bodies hot to the touch.
For this moment of time
The entire world
Is completely forgotten
By us both.
We are the center
Of each other's universe
Aware of only each other
And absolutely nothing else.
We stare into
The eyes of the other
Anticipating that glimpse
Of the soul beyond.
We whisper into
Each other's ear
Words of endearment
Words of passion.
We kiss each other's lips
Soft and yielding
Our tongues grapple
Back and forth -- mouth to mouth.
Our hands explore
They caress
They pet
They stimulate.
We are absorbed
By each other
As we delight
Each other.
Lust inflames
Pleasure abounds
Fireworks detonate
Gratification follows...
The scent of sex
Fills the air
We cuddle each other
Recovering our breath.
We desperately cling
To each other
Wishing that this
Would never end.
Wishing that we
Could hold each other
Forever...
And ever.
A kind word
An amorous look
A feathery touch
A quickened pulse
A tender kiss
A loving caress
A murmured endearment
A silky smoothness
A teasing stroke
An aroused nipple
A sensual softness
An excited groan
A feverish embrace
A seething desire
A furious heat
A throbbing moistness
A heady aroma
A titillating thrill
A warm breath
A hot tongue
A lustful moan
A velvety wetness
A sensitive nub
A flaming passion
A delicious flutter
An ecstatic quiver
An uncontrolled tremor
A mindless utterance
A numbing rapture
A creamy nectar
A precious gift
A thirst quenched
A contented sigh
An enchanting afterglow
A delightful joining
A generous lover
An elegant Woman
A priceless memory
The Lady of my heart and mind
My body and soul
My cruel and kind
My half and whole.
The Lady of my beginning and end
My happy and sad
My enemy and friend
My good and bad.
The Lady of my calm and rage
My hope and despair
My youth and age
My here and there.
The Lady of my up and down
My certitude and doubt
My city and town
My grin and pout.
The Lady of my guilt and innocence
My humility and pride
My honesty and pretense
My narrow and wide.
The Lady of my love and hate
My displeasure and delight
My small and great
My day and night.
The Lady of my fetter and free
My sun and moon
My dream and reality
My curse and boon.
The Lady of my elation and grief
My dark and light
My agony and relief
My dull and bright.
The Lady of my push and pull
My accept and deny
My empty and full
My hello and good-bye.
The Lady of my severe and mild
My satisfaction and regret
My tame and wild
My give and get.
The Lady of my fast and slow
My heaven and earth
My yes and no
My useless and worth.
The Lady of my difficulty and ease
My nothing and all
My offend and please
My rise and fall.
The Lady of my right and wrong
My courage and fear
My weak and strong
My vague and clear.
The Lady of my desire and indifference
My healthy and ill
My poverty and affluence
My warm and chill.
The Lady of my shallow and deep
My laugh and cry
My awake and asleep
My enemy and ally.
The Lady of my strife and peace
My failure and success
My hold and release
My dearth and excess.
The Lady of my insult and respect
My contempt and praise
My attention and neglect
My bore and amaze.
The Lady of my pretty and plain
My folly and wise
My crazy and sane
My birth and demise.
The Lady of my future and past
My charity and greed
My first and last
My want and need.
The Lady of my smooth and rough
My conceal and discover
My tender and tough
My fighter and lover.
The Lady of my pleasure and pain
My around and through
My loss and gain
My me and you.

Throughout my life
I have wandered
Ever questioning...
Have I squandered
My life of times
My chance of choice
My turn at love?
My inner voice
Directs my pace
Leads me along
The path of grace
The way of many
The pick of few
And on this road
I spied you.
We met and grazed
Each other's soul
We spoke and touched
Two parts, one whole.
And as we stood
Side by side
Your hand in mine
Eyes open wide
In my heart
I just knew
You, for me
And I, for you
Meant to be
Always so...
Down life's road
We both go.
