Special Place

When you’re not here
The bed grows and I grow smaller,
My thoughts curled up and around
Those eyes, that face
The special place you take me.

Across The Room, Through The Window

The next room’s all whispers and laughter
And here I am running laps inside my skull,
Making up all the adventures we’d have
Inside my tiny room if only you were here.
If only you were here…
If only I could reach behind your head
And hold you tight against me,
Your warm breath moving gently against my chest,
Across the room, through the window
And out into the starry night.

Feeling

You’re off again
On another of your wanders
And I’m back in my room
Remembering last night and smiling.
As the Spanish sun gets a perfect view
Of your lips against a glass of sangria
My heart races and my mind traces
The outlines of the beauty
You’ve introduced into my life.
When I’m not with you I’m waiting.
If I can’t see you with eyes open
I’ll do so with eyes closed.
Too far to touch
You’re still all that I can feel.

Too Far Away For Two

Too far away
For two (that’s me and you)
to spend a few
and do the things we like to do.
I dream of you, of being in you
Of not wanting to stop
While you’re on top
Waiting for the moon to drop
Below the bed we share.

To Know

To know the same breathe
That raises grass and opens flowers
Animates your breast tonight
Is more than enough for me.
To know the light
That rests on the backs of horses
Warms your skin and includes you in my vision
Is more than enough for me.
To know nothing more
Than wanting to know more about you
Is all that I care to experience
Is more than enough for me.

More Woman

She spends her time
Consumed in careful upkeep,
Fixing contacts and applying make up,
Working so hard to become
The woman that she wants to be
When with each and every gesture
She’s more woman than I’ve ever seen.

Slightly Parted Lips

Inches from me and just above the stars
Your short hair falls over your eyes
So for that moment you can’t see me looking up
And trying to appreciate every breath
That makes its way through your
Slightly parted lips.
