I hope you are sleeping and having beautiful dreams.

While you are sleeping I will steal my way into your dreams and softly brush my lips against yours. I will whisper, 'I love you' in your ear. Wrapping you in the warmth of my touch. Running my fingers through your hair and breathing my hot breath against your neck. Stretching myself up against the length of your body and caressing your outline.
...

I travel throughout this life a stranger without will, without direction
I miss you
I look for you everywhere though my eyes have become blind to what is around me
I miss you
...

I thought about you today and do you know what happened?

My eyes sparkled. I was sitting in a business meeting and I could feel the light from them falling upon the room and I wondered if the others there knew I was in love.
...

Check!

Checkmate!
...

Doorbells ringing in your head
bodiless faces in the room

huddled alone inside your bed
...

I woke this morning, as I do every morning knowing that a piece of me is missing.

I slowly stretched, wriggling my fingers and toes taking careful inventory.
...

Zombies and Ghouls.....

These are not the living dead.....
...

Who are you?

What thoughts and feelings lurk behind your mask?
...

My vagrant soul knows no peace

restless in nature
...

Psssst......over here

I need to tell you something
...

I told a lie today

it was a small lie
...

Life is worth living
Some days a question
Some days a statement
...

There is a hollow
it lies within my heart
the impression within made by you
molded by your presence
...

I bared myself to you.....

I showed you the real me. You heard my hopes, dreams, fears, joys and my past. You watched as I cried for both joy and pain. You saw me laugh, smile and dance. You saw me on my good days and my bad days. I never hid anything. I never tried to be something I am not. There was never a pretense between us. Just me, being me, loving you.
...

“It’s just a kiss”

Just a kiss you say?
...

I have this friend – he is a mason

And he does such beautiful work.
...

How do I fit into your view of what is normal in society?

How do I fit into your value system?
...

Do you know how often I think of you -

and how my heart races at the mere thought of you?
...

I hear your voice and my heartbeat speeds, pounding hard against my chest.

I see your smile and I have to catch my breath, heavy beneath my breast.
...

Unfurl your wings spread them wide

and jump!
