SHADES OF LOVE

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Are you looking for someone perchance?
To partner in physical love’s erotic dance
It doesn’t matter to any of us though
If you just want to go at it with gusto
Maybe you have a penchant for a tart?
One of easy virtue but one with a heart
Or do you hanker more for a nympho
A raver to satisfy your burning libido
Does your bent lean towards a temptress
Or someone you can use as a mattress
No I think you look for more from your life
You are looking for a girl to be your wife

IS A KIND WORD ENOUGH?

How do you tell the woman that you love?
The woman that always fitted you like a glove
Your lover, your friend and your confident
How do you tell her of your discontent?

How do you tell the woman for whom you care?
That you are no longer in love with her
The woman you love but no longer desire
Kind and caring but unable to light your fire

How do you tell the woman that you love?
The woman that always fitted you like a glove
Where do you begin? Where do you start?
How do you tell her and not break her heart?

I NEED HER LOVE SO BADLY

I need her love so badly
I have fallen for her madly
And though she tells me
She is mine till eternity
I am so insecure
I do not no for sure
If I tell her of my distrust
I will warrant her disgust
Though I am riddled with self doubt
She will only pout
Why must I doubt her?
Why can’t I believe her?
I should count my blessings
Instead of self obsessing
I have fallen for her madly
I need her love so badly

FAIRER THAN A ROSE

Fairer than a rose
That in Eden grows
Brighter than a star
Shining from afar
Purer than a rose
That in heaven grows
I bless the day
She came my way
For until that sunlit morn
I was yet unborn

NATURAL BEAUTY

I look at you doing ordinary things
Bewitched by your beauty
I watch you take off your make-up
And puzzle at its redundancy

Why do you even put it on
It adds nothing to your beauty
For you cannot enhance perfection
It is an exercise in futility

MY BEACON

Your beauty is like a beacon
That shines through the universe
Brighter than the hottest star
In this galaxy and those beyond
I bask in its illumination
Orbiting like a faithful moon
Content to be your satellite
Ever in your perfect light

ISABEL

A vision of pulchritude
My sweet little Isabel
Coquettish in the extreme
A beautiful southern belle
Lithe limbed and gracile
She is hopelessly vivacious
With her sylph like elegance
She tends to the outrageous
But for all her dalliances
And her overt vivacity
Her revelling in the attention
She is still in love with me

DO YOU REMEMBER THE TWENTY FIRST OF SEPTEMBER?

Do you remember the twenty first of September?
A very special date is it not?
It’s our wedding anniversary you idiot
And should never be forgot

INTERNMENT

Your beauty caught my eye
And captured my attention
Your personality won my heart
And placed it in detention

IN MY DREAMS

In my dreams
I see you clearly
I reach out to touch you
And you hold me in your arms
I feel your tender caress
As you envelope me
As your love embosoms me
And my pain melts away
When I awakeI am alone and breathless
But content and at peace

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

A pulchritudinous creature
Oblivious to the turmoil
Stirred in a young mans chest
Tamed the beast in me
Sublimating me
From my true desires
Quelling the fires
Redirecting my passions
Reemploying my sexual energy
So we partake
Of the socially acceptable
Exercise our creative bent
Until the time is right
That blessed moment
When love supplants lust
And passions flame can burn

I WANT YOU

I want you to hold in my arms
I want to look into your eyes
I want to feel your heart beat
I want to hear your sighs

I want to hear your voice
I want to feel your touch
I want to kiss your lips
Because I love you so much

IN AN INSTANT

One brief moment changed my life
When the love that emanated from you
Captured my heart in that instant
And in the clarity of that moment I knew
My destiny had been forever shaped
And my life would ever after be with you

AS THE SUN SET OVER THE SEA

As the sun set over the sea
Filling the sky with an orange hue
I held your hand
And beheld that wondrous view
Then I squeezed your hand
And said “I love you”
I held my breath
Until you said “I love you too”

DAYS DOWN BY SEA

Days down by sea
Far away from amusement arcades
Away from the pier
And noisy shopping parades
Just wide empty beaches
The salt sea breeze in my hair
What ever the weather
I really don’t care
Long languid days
Spent down by sea
Just a wet shaggy dog
My lady and me

OVERTHROW OF THE HEART

Love once reigned in my heart
But it has been deposed
Because I didn’t try to keep you
The coup went unopposed

Now loneliness reigns supreme
That Prince of misery
If I had fought to keep you
You might still be with me

YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE

You are the sunshine
That makes the whole world smile
I am the rain
That cools things down awhile
Together we make a rainbow
That everyone can see
The vibrant colours in the sky
Shout out that you love me

SOMETIMES THERE IS RAIN

Life cannot always be sunshine
Sometimes there is rain
But when both come together
Then beauty is our gain
As a rainbow is the result
Iridescent in the sky

YOU ARE MY RAINBOW

Red is for your passion
Orange is loves warm glow
Yellow is the light
Green is for your eyes
Blue is for the clarity
Indigo is for your radiance
Violet the scent of love
And like my love for you
A rainbow has no end

THE BOOK OF LIFE

My life is like a book
Filled with all the special moments
And endless characters
Each page a catalogue of my experiences
Every up and down
Every high and low
But my life only truly began
When you turned the page
And started a new chapter

NATURAL HIGHS

There are many natural highs in life
Like laughing so hard it hurts
A hot shower in the morning
A hot bubble bath in the evening
Hearing a song on the radio
That reminds you of your first kiss
An admiring glance from a stranger
A special glance from a lover
Getting a hug when you need one
Holding hands with the one you love
Falling in love, being in love
Being loved and knowing
When you looking into their eyes
That they love you

ONLY YOU

Only you can occupy
That special place within my heart
You have been alone in there
Right from the very start

You will never be evicted
That would cause me great distress
For you will always be my love
The reason for my happiness

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS

While I sleep with eyes shut tight
I dream of a girl dressed all in white
This beautiful girl with an adoring smile
And eyes so green they bewitch and beguile
She stands before me this maiden fair
And runs her fingers through my hair
Then I feel the touch of her caress
And a single kiss of such tenderness
Then the beautiful maiden fair
Whispered 'I love you' in my ear
I was alone come the morning light
I hope I see the girl again tonight

JUST TO KNOW

Just to know each day
That you are here
To listen and love
And abate my fear

Just to know each day
That you really care
To share and laugh
And abate my despair

Just to know each day
That you are with me
To make each new day
A fresh treasured memory

I GIVE TO YOU A ROSEBUD

I give to you a rosebud
Held twixt my finger tips
As a symbol of my love
That cannot be eclipsed
The purest, sweetest rose
As red as your sweet lips

ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Always and forever
My love for you will burn
And the one and only thing
For which I yearn
Is that you will notice me
And love me in return

I DRAW A CIRCLE

I draw a circle
As a symbol
To demonstrate my love
I do not start
To draw a heart
Because a heart can break
So I draw a circle
As a symbol
For a circle goes on forever

LIFE IS GOOD

Life is good
Life is great
Life is something
I appreciate

My life is good
My life is great
My life is something
I celebrate

I love my life
And I love you too
You are my life
And life gave me you

DREAMS

When I have dreams
Those dreams are of you
I tingle at the thought of them
Those dreams so blue
Each searing moment
Is burnt in my memory
I hope when I sleep tonight
I dream again of you and me

IF YOU WERE

If you were a kiss
You would be passion
If you were a dress
You’d be high fashion
If you were a pop song,
You would be number one
If you were an Olympian
You would be champion
If you were a star
You’d be the brightest
If you were a caress
You’d be the lightest
If you were a drink
You would be Moet
If you were a joke
You would be funny
If you were a flower
You would be exotic
If you were a dance
You would be erotic
If you were unmarried
You would be quite free
If you were so inclined
You could then marry me

I TELL YOU

I tell you that I love you
I tell you that I care
I tell you every day
Of the love that I declare

I tell you that I love you
I tell you every day
I tell you I am there for you
Each and every way

I tell you that I love you
I tell you that I’m sure
I tell you every day
But you’re so insecure

I tell you that I love you
I tell you that I care
I tell you every day
I’m not going anywhere

I tell you that I love you
I tell you I’m not that guy
I tell you every day
And then you start to cry

I tell you that I love you
I put my arms around you
I tell you every time
That my love for you is true

THEN AND ONLY THEN

I will drop a grain of sand into the desert
I will cry a teardrop into the ocean blue
I will blow a kiss into a hurricane
To prove my love, this is what I do
If you find that grain of sand, that teardrop
Or that kiss then that is when I’ll stop loving you

IN THE GAME OF LOVE

In the game of love you know all the right moves
With Terpsichorean precision, purposeful and bold
You are mistress of passion, keeper of my heart
If they awarded medals for love you’d get the gold

THEY SEEK IT HERE

You will find it here you will find it there
Some people like it but others don't care
Some will yearn for it in deep despair
But to find a true love is especially rare

PEOPLE LOVE

People love each other in many different ways
Take love where they can find it, I would say
All kinds of love shared each and everyday
But the truest are those that can’t be taken away
