She's But A Dream

~She’s but a dream

of long ago~

~A dream of she

who stole my soul~

~Imbued my heart

with hungered lust~

~My veins in charred 

with fired blood~

~Of heat so great

but yet so sweet~

~My mind of state

was ecstasy~

~My thoughts were her’s

for her Command~

~Her every verse

was my Demand~

~She went away

 some time ago~

~My mind betrayed

she stole my soul~

~Many of score

has come to past~

~No dreams of more

since they of last~

~My nights are cold

within my sleep~

~She stole my soul

forever keep~

~My hunger soars

without relief~

~Within my core

so do I bleed~

~I long for her

for what she was~

~My dreams of stir

so full of lust~

~To feel the warmth

to know her touch~

~Within my arms

of making love~

~She’s but a dream

of long ago~

~A dream of she

who stole my soul~

I'm Lonely For Her

~Another lonely night has passed me by

bringing sadness and tears to my eyes~

~I’m in need of the one girl from my past

so many years gone since I’ve seen her last~ 

~My loneliness my pain has taken it’s toll

so foolish I was to leave her I know~

~My heart has been broken so many years

happiness nonexistent causing many tears~

~I’ve been but half a man without her in my life

so much anguish pain and strife~

~She was everything I ever wanted and I left

my ignorance gifted my heart and soul with bereft~

~A chance to correct the past to right a wrong

oh how I’ve waited and suffered for so long~

~My life lost it’s purpose when I left long ago

but has returned to me and I cannot let go~

~She is the one my soul mate the love of my life

without her’s like being stuck in my heart with a knife~

~My heart hurts can only be healed with her love 

she’s all on my mind I can think of~

~I’d do anything for her I’d give her the world

to have her back in my life to be my girl~

~When I reminisce I often do of long ago

I think of that sweet night back in San Francisco~

~It was the only time in my life I was really happy

she was so beautiful soft spoken and chose me~

~She was my Goddess my Athena from Olympus

to this day she is the only one I want to be with~

~I’ve tried but my heart has never seen it through

to turn back the hands of time anything I would do~

~To stay say I love you and make a life

God why did I never make her my wife~

~The price I paid is a terrible price to pay

I lost my heart my soul happiness in every way~

~I love her and I always will ‘til the day I die

more than the sun the moon and stars in the sky~

~As I lay down to sleep this night to be

I will pray to God please bring her back to me~

~Then I will visit her where she now resides

deep within my mind my dreams inside~

~I’ll take her in my arms and hold on tight

make sweet love to her throughout the night~

~Now I must go my ticket to Heaven awaits

I have myself a dream date~

Soul Mates

 Lisa;

~Your lips are sweeter than wine

you have a body so very fine

I’ll love you ‘til the end of time~

~You’re for me my given destiny

a second chance to be happy

with the only girl in my life for me~

~I need you Lisa with all my heart

I never again want to be apart

a new life together we can start~

~You were and are the only one to

make me feel the feelings I do

My Darling I love you~

~I ponder my thoughts when I write

where my words of poetry come to light

and they take me back to a special night~

~When we were young back in the day

and we were playful and together did lay

never again have I ever felt that way~

~I was a fool this I know to be true

I was young  didn’t know what to do

but Lisa I really did love you~

~I’ve paid a terrible price for going away

I never told you but God I wanted to stay

I loved you then as I do this very day~

~But you found me for a reason must be

I was meant for you and you for me

and we are about to meet our destiny~

~My Darling I say to you this is fate

we are and always have been soul mates

even though we’re separated  by states~ 

~Come back be with me again

we’ll make it better than way back then

this time for keeps never will it end~

~Always Your Bay~

Lisa

 

~Many years past long ago

I met a girl in San Francisco~

~She was sexy quite the Diva

very Beautiful her name was Lisa~

~Attracted to her from first we met

in my heart a fire had been set~ 

~She was petite a body slender

with a demeanor oh so very tender~

~My heart sped my desires burned

to be with her from within I yearned~

~I asked her out for the night

we were together ‘til daylight~

~I remember our first kiss

her taste was sweet I was in bliss~

~Her body warmed my soul that night

giving me comfort in love’s delight~

~So much pleasure she gave to me

fulfilling my every fantasy~

~As I sit here alone in reminisce

my thoughts are of our first kiss~

~I never told her I wanted to stay

a regret I’ll carry for all my days~

~The girl of my dreams I left in the past

a time in my life I wished ever last~

You're Free

~Why must I live the way I do

why must it be without you~

~It causes me so much sorrow

to where I can see no tomorrow~

~My heart bleeds and and takes on pain

and my mind is slowly going insane~

~The fire deep within in my soul

once warm has died and grown cold~

~My purpose in life has reason no more

it was lost when you walked out that door~

~Now I sit in wander each and every day 

not knowing why you chose to go astray~

~My life once happy has fallen to past

and left me in sadness and aghast~

~Please tell me help me to understand

why you left me for another man~

~I loved you with all I had to give

you were my only reason to live~

~You took from me my heart’s destiny

and turned it into utter hurt and misery~

~Now I pray my life to come to end

this pain no longer can I attend~

~For you I say you're set free 

 you're free from all that was of me~
