Sweep You Off Your Feet


What's the real reason
You have feet?
To walk run jump kick swim
To wiggle toes under covers
Against the bottoms of my feet
To caress my shin
Under the dinner table

No
The real reason is so
I can sweep you off your feet
And carry you over the threshold
Into a new life together.

Thank Heaven For Good Handwriting

Image
I saw you across the parking lot Before I met you I met your dog He broke the ice I saw you walk around your truck Before I met you I fell in love Love at first sight We drove to another spot So we could have privacy Kissing you I couldn't stop Here's my number / Call me The next day I tried to But I couldn't get thru I thought I'd never see you Two wrong numbers Your note was a scribble You were scared You were nervous Maybe not serious Oh well / Mysterious I'll never see you again You might have been the one It was a fun time while it lasted The drive home was fantastic I couldn't get thru The next day when I called you I thought I'd never see you Then you called me The rest is history You drove to my house in a hurricane We made love sheltered from the rain Thank Heaven for good handwriting I thought I'd never see you again You are the one I met in a parking lot And fell in love with at first sight I couldn't read your number  Then you called me D...

Have Faith in Love

Image
Faith The final frontier  These are the adventures  Of a romantic love affair Whose destiny is to spread love Throughout the universe Faith That your love is sincere Your touch is real Your gaze is honest and true Your love game is not fake Have faith in me When I'm not with you Have faith  I'm thinking only of you Longing for your arms only Have faith in me  Like I have faith in you  I just feel that your love is real  I can't prove it  Don't want to lose it  Have faith in me I have faith in you Trust my love Like I trust you Have faith in love. UPDATE My boyfriend was feeling insecure he could never write like me. Wait a minute. I'm looking for a lover, not a writer. Besides he reads all these posts out loud to me & lots of other stuff. Without writers there would be nothing to read. Without bottoms there would be no tops. I'm lucky to have someone who's not overwhelmed by my passions. So we went for a walk. I took the new pic. Wow! Yeah I'm...

What Lonely Feels Like

Image
Every cup of coffee I consume Here alone in this quiet room Every memory I recall Your picture is on the wall Is this what lonely feels like? Looking out the window Every car drives on by I wonder / Is it you? I miss my old guitar Is this what lonely feels like? This is a new love song But I won't know how it sounds Until I write the music For these heart-felt lyrics  Is this what lonely feels like? Every cup of coffee I consume Here alone in this quiet room I hope I have a new guitar Next time you're at my door  Is this what lonely feels like? I remember every memory What it's like to be lonely The good times I recall Your picture on the wall Should I try to forget? Is this what lonely feels like? I wrote a new love song For my lonely heart To keep me company While we are apart Every cup of coffee I consume Alone in this quiet room Missing my old guitar I wonder where you are I can't wait to play it Is this what lonely feels like? Every memory I recall Your picture on ...
