Rest your body now, my love,
And dream of things to come,
A kiss upon each cheek I'll give,
Caress you with each thumb,
...

...

Thinking about you again today, for the umpteenth time this week:
And I'm quite unsure if these are things of which I now should speak,
But I have maintained that honesty is the best way to live,
And when I err, I honestly hope that you'll know how to forgive.
...

I wish I had the courage to simply tell you I love you
But the words don't seem to want to form
I wish I could imagine a future without you
It would be like having rain without a storm.
...

There is no limit to what you can do,
The only thing prohibiting it, is you,
Make plans, set goals, a little at a time,
Take small steps along the incline,
...

I want you to know, baby, that I love you with all my heart,
And you're always with me, even when we're far apart,
I thought I should tell you I'm happy with you just as you are:
In your room, at the house, or even just sitting in my car.
...

Baby, you're beautiful
I wish you could see yourself
As I see you
With eyes that could melt an iceberg
...

Dudes are really quite awesome.
They'll call in the middle of the night,
Just to say 'I love you',
Which we both know is a lie.
...

There were times when I thought of you as completely self-absorbed,
And then sometimes you'd give me things, which you couldn't really afford,
And sometimes you'd call me up, to say that you were thinking of me:
How out of all the things on your mind, nothing came above me.
...

I'm walking along fairly oblivious to the frivolities of life all around me
But suddenly I've found myself thigh-deep in a patch of quicksand
And to struggle means the end of all that I could ever be
So I lie in wait until I can determine a way to escape this catastrophe
...

I breathe you in and I consume you
I exhale and release some of you, but some of me too
And the sum of us is held prisoner by the music
Twirling together towards ecstasy
...

They call me Mike,
And want to be,
Just like me.
I got it wired:
...

Do you know how much you meant to me:
The elated effect you had on my psyche;
How sharing our dreams gave me reason
To get myself out of bed in the morning?
...

I exhale
Breathing out hope
Extinguishing the fire
Releasing the unknown
...

In a world of hate,
of negativity and broken dreams,
Where words uttered are falsehoods;
nothing is as it seems,
...

My creativity left,
All hope has drained away.
I felt nothing but bereft
At the dawning of the day...
...

He was the Romeo to my Juliet
He was the lighter to my cigarette

He was pure love when all I had was hate
...

You told me when we fell in love
that you were there to stay
Then opened up the door
when I decided to walk away
...

The sky swathes her with its sapphire intensity,
As iridescent clouds drift randomly above.
A benevolent sun beams from behind complacently,
Her whole face is aglow with the consciousness of love.
...

Love is the sight of you in my bed
The mop of black curls upon your head
Your lean body with me combined
Our fingers absently intertwined
...
