(1)
A sigh and a touch can mean so much
A longing embrace a kiss on the face
In her heart she could never replace

(2) The Woman
She saw him one night and her heart was his
Her eyes hypnotized frozen in time
A turn of a head and she caught his eye
A momentary glance that seem forever
She felt her body shake as he came nearer
Her thoughts wondering a moment of anxiety
Her trembling lips stammering for a word
Something to say something to be heard
The sound of his voice quickened her heart
His coming closer stirred up hidden passion
Feelings uncontrollable all inhibition dashed

(3)
They talked for hours and then for days
The weeks flew by
His charms inspired his looks amazed
She clung to his every thought his every desire
Nothing it seemed would ever quench her heart on fire
Every kiss brought a fulfillment of every wish
She could not claim herself for herself belonged to him
His thoughts her thoughts his needs her needs
Lost in a timeless moment nothing would ever exceed
BUT!
A woman’s intuition can always sense
The condition of a man’s disposition

(4)
He left while still in love
His desires divided his heart torn between
He left her behind A memory left to dream

(5) The Man
He caught her stare that night
His eyes piercing him to the marrow
An attraction he could not resist
Feelings he could not dismiss
He walked toward her His heart leading the way
Each step another thought
What would he say?
His closeness brought a scent of perfume
His eyes fixed as if she was the only person in the room
Her voice stilled his heart entrapped in the moment set apart
They talked for hours and then for days
The weeks flew by
Her charms inspired her looks amazed
She was his he was hers
A love defined on every word
The touch of her lips on his
The touch of her hand on his face an infinite embrace
(6) But!
Love seems to know when it is time to leave
Both departed in different direction taking along each other’s affections
On that night love left without a trace
(7)
No one knows when love will come or if it remains or when it goes
All we have is the magic it awakens when two can find
The secret to unlock the mysteries that love wishes to bestow
Two joined at the heart never ever part
For a love’s heart knows nothing of time
Time can never replace what love can’t deny
For love is stronger than time itself

On the street of dreams where dreams go to die
Stood an old empty book store
Curiosity got a hold of me to see more
I spotted an old dusty book
Laying on the shelf all by itself
I enquired about it but was told
To read it myself I cannot give you any help
I picked it up
The binding was torn
The pages were yellow and worn
I carefully opened the cover of the book
A misty odor over took
The dedication was no longer visible
Just the letters For M.P.T.G
Every page had the words” Time Waits..”
The last page was missing.
I said to myself
Has the story ended?
Has the play played on?
Has the music faded away?
Has the poem lost its rhyme?
Has romance become nonexistent?
Have all things come to an end?
You turned the pages I burned the book
It said:
Your yes is your yes your no is your no
There’s no middle ground
Time waits for a decision
Eternity and forever are not part of time
Your time is the only time you have
You make your choices count or you will no longer rhyme
And so it is
Or you keep turning the pages

“I said to my soul be still, and wait without hope
for hope would be hope for the wrong thing”
T.S.Elliot

,

Unrequited Love:
This is a story without an ending
A play with no rehearsal
A poem with no verse
A song with no sound
A love with no romance

No chance to;
Look into each other’s eyes
Caress each other’s face
Kiss each other’s lips
Squeeze hands
Share glances

Love understood:
Love is a vapor quick to disappear
Lost in the universe
A blessing or a curse
What can be worse?
To seek what you do not possess
Your heart needs to address.

What’s done is done;
Love without an ending
Is not worth defending
Hope that is futile
Will make your life brutal
Unfurl the page and do not engage
*****************************
Will you forever ever be My P.T. Girl?

“Better by far you should forget and smile
Then that you should remember and be sad”
Christina Rossetti

o

Who’s to know?’
Who’s to say?
As we go from day to day
To find our circumstances in
And a new chapter begin

Saw her once
Had to stay
I knew there was
No other way

“Only heaven could have painted her face”
Her olive complexion
Needs no correction.
Those beautiful eyes
How they hypnotize
Her inviting lips
Hide the sweetness of her tongue
Her long black hair accents her face
There’s no one else among..
Who can take her place.

Never underestimate her ability
She has nothing to prove
To whom should we compare her to?
Who else has a 5-star rating?

Years slide quietly away
Time becomes the enemy
Days are short
No time to be
No time to carve our initials
On the “Sweetheart Tree”

Dreams give way to reality
Reality gives way to destiny
But as the pages begin to unfurl
She will forever be My P.T.Girl
**************************
Only God knows the end from the beginning

‘

Not so many guys can be as lucky as I was
She was my soul sister oh how I miss her!
Throughout our youth always together always in touch
Counting on each other meant so much.
Always there when I needed her so
My stress and worries seemed to go
Forever friends Never romance
Never thought of taking a chance
OF destroying our friendship we took a stance

As the years passed on we somehow lost touch
It seems we no longer needed that crutch
We parted our ways never a clue never a trace
Love comes in different ways
I’m so glad we felt that way
To build a relationship that goes beyond
No one can be as fortunate as we
To live our lives separately

I pray that all is well
The Good Book says, “You reap what you sow”
My life has shown this to be true for real
This poem proves just how I feel

I’ll remember Donna and I’ll smile

[

Love is sometimes fickled
Forever changing
You find yourself
Trapped between
May and December
Only to remember

An empty heart filled
With empty dreams
A fool in love
None the wise
To find himself
A consolation prize

ttons

They say you’re a hopeless romantic
Your dreams will never come true
To count on fate to supply a mate
Is only reserved for a few
But you continue to dream your dreams
For dreams never dreamt will never come true
For love will be yours if you forever believe
With tearing eyes and momentary sighs
You’ll forever wear your heart on your sleeve

They say true love is just for dreamers
The search you search is in vain
After your journey is over
You are left with nothing but pain
But
Take the risk
Take the chance
Believe in love
Follow your quest for love and romance
And some day you’ll find your dream

Give me just one moment in real time
To change my destiny
Give me just one moment in real time
To see my dreams in front of me

Give me just one moment in real time
To realize my fate
Give me just one moment in real time
To know it’s not too late

Give me just one moment in real time
To be whom I wish to be
Give me just one moment in real time
To see my future in front of me

Give me just one moment in real time
To fulfill my desires
Give me just one moment in real time
To have her here with me

An echo that makes no sound
Music playing that no one hears
Eyes that shed invisible tears
Confusing sounds of sounds of silence
Love’s never heard
Love’s never reciprocated
Love’s never acknowledged
But
Take hold
Place it a pocket
Display it a locket
for out of no where
Some day
IT may unfold
