Day 223 - My Only Lover

I'll never lay next to another,
You're my only lover,
My life, my best friend.

In your eyes I see,
A girl wrapped up in me,
Accepting of all that I am.

Your heart beats a story,
Although sometimes blurry,
There's care and sympathy.

You're a beautiful woman,
Faithful to one man,
In love and everything.

A long life awaits us,
We'll build it upon trust,
And carry it to the next land.

Day 222 - Our Love

Our love is building like a bomb,
Exploding in rays of love.
Our love rages like a forest fire,
Burning fiercely night and day.
Our love beats like a summer storm,
Loud and electrifying to all.
Our love spins like a twister in the night,
Fast moving and powerful in force.  
Our love is like the quaking Earth,
Shaking the ground on which we walk.
Our love is a graceful, celestial being,
One to be admired in awestruck wonder.

Day 220 - I'm a Writer

I'm a writer,
Not a runner.
I can be fat and lazy,
Even a little bit crazy.
My words can mean nothing,
Or maybe a little something.
Sometimes my mind is dark,
Full of strange fantasies,
Like horny elves in ectasy.
Other days I'm sad for ages,
Loneliness on my pages,
Coming off as fits and rages.
When happiness takes control,
I write with all my soul,
Completely feeling whole.
When it's love that I write for,
Everything means so much more,
It soothes, it saves, my only cure.

Day 219 - Love Expedition

This happiness you bring,
Should probably be a sin,
As it reveals my addiction,
To our love expedition.

We've traveled high and low,
To places we only know,
We'd certainly go back again,
To the place where it all began.

A dark and lonely street,
Under the heat,
Of the store's white lights,
And cigarettes burning bright.

It was black and white,
With a little brown in the Asian night,
Jokes full of laughter and sin,
Stories they've told time and again.

All palate's were soaked,
Drowned  in Jack and Cokes,
No use sipping on beer,
Bad words are all you'll hear.

You we're friendly and quaint,
No where near a saint,
And after all that transpired,
I wasn't yet sure if I even desired.

Day 218 - Dark of Night

I miss someone,
Wish I was with someone,
Just kissing someone,
Oh man, we'd have some fun.

Friday night dates,
Coming in so late,
We can't wait,
To be in each other's arms.

Our clothes come off,
Bodies getting hot,
We can't stop,
A fire once it starts.

Holding on tight,
In the dark of night,
I see the passion rise,
Those pretty brown eyes.

You fall asleep,
Right next to me,
Life feels so right,
Being where you're supposed to be.

Day 217 - Let it Show

I'm in love with you,
That's all I know.
You're in love with me,
And we let it show. 

Day 216 - Mixed Emotions

I'm tired of missing you,
Sick of the lonely days,
All the sad feelings taking control.
I'm happy when I see your face,
Depressed when we say goodbye,
It's a never-ending cycle,
Leaving me feeling deprived.

Now that I let my anger fly,
I'll tell you that all these goodbyes,
They just make us stronger,
Building a deeper connection,
Allowing us to fully understand,
Each other wholeheartedly,
Throughout life's ups and downs.

Tomorrow when the sun rises,
It will bring a better day,
Placing me one step closer to you,
Closer to where I feel at peace,
Next to my partner in life,
Supplying me with passionate support,
Empowering a never-ending devotion to love.

Day 215 - If I...

If I could kiss you tonight,
Touch your face one time,
Feel the warmth of your skin,
Listen to the beat of your heart,
Watch you sleep peacefully,
Hear your infectious laugh,
I would be a happy man.

Day 214 - Your Arms

In your arms,
I feel excited,
About this crazy life.
You allow me to dream,
Believe in me,
Creating special memories.
My faith in you is strong,
I never want to hurt you,
Just hold you,
Comfort you,
Make you as happy,
As you make me,
Until life passes us on.

Day 213- My Heart

My heart is open,
It feels all the hurt,
Pain when it breaks,
Sorrow when I cry,
Sad when I'm lonely,

With you it beats fast,
Skipping over the aches,
Happiness when you smile,
Joy when we touch,
Loved with every breath.

Day 212 - Rainy Memories

Its been raining for three days,
It keeps on coming,
Just won't go away.
I sit and stare at the world outside,
It's dark and dreary,
As far as I can see with my eyes.
Turning my gaze inside,
I begin to smile,
Thoughts of you along for the ride.
You're sitting there on the rug,
Researching your paper,
I fall asleep like I'm on drugs.
Sitting on the couch when I open the door,
A long, hard day at work,
You're still in the clothes from the night before.
I see you crushing while you relieve,
Like a queen on her throne,
Not wanting me to leave.
Claiming you can't cook a thing,
But I just ignore,
And corn and potatoes is all that you bring.
In my bed, a pretty face lies next to me,
Your body giving off so much heat,
And there's no place I'd rather be.

Day 211 - Lined With Dreams

I like the way we laugh,
The way we talk,
And walk,
Singing our silly love song.

Your tender touch,
It's worth the wait,
It turns me on,
A love so strong.

Our hearts they met,
Skipped a beat,
Now were here,
A love so sweet.

I'm not looking back,
The path ahead,
Is lined with dreams,
All coming true it seems.

Day 210 - The Daughter

She's the coaches daughter,
Wanting to run away,
To a far off land,
Dreams in her eyes,
Sweat on her hands.

This life is all she's known,
It's not the one she wants,
She'll let everyone know,
Not in anger or spite,
She just knows what's right.

She gets love without support,
Which is not love at all,
If they won't understand,
It's jealous refusal,
Pain to the person in front of you.

Concealing the hurt,
She cries in an old shirt,
Destined to be with him,
But leaving her world behind,
Wears on the body and the mind.

He stands there,
Arms open up wide,
A heart beating for her inside,
A mind consumed,
With giving all his love to her.

Sometimes he feels like a disease,
Infecting her very soul,
A possible root cause,
To the problems she sees,
Her hurt and pain, felt by he.

He's trying his best,
To make things go smooth,
Knowing what he stands to lose,
A wife, a lover, a trusted friend,
Someone to love him 'til the end.

If he could pick up tonight,
Hop on a plane,
Leave his world behind,
He'd gladly take that ride,
Putting her back by his side.

Day 209 - Summer Days

My favorite color is blue,
Like the beauty you see in the skies hue,
But nothing is more prettier than you.

You keep my heart beating like a drum,
Burning hot like the midday sun.
Let's make a fire from the heat of our love.

In the night when I look up high,
I see the stars that twinkle in your eyes,
When you look so deeply sweetly in to mine.

These summer days put a smile on my face
Not for weather or forgetting the rat race,
Just because you were here and we were happy.

Day 208 - Kindness

Like wings to a bird,
I use my words,
To lift people up high,
Smiles dancing across the sky.

Putting people down,
Just brings lonely frowns,
So, take a look around,
Turn one upside down.

If you are kind like I,
Ask yourself why,
And what you can do,
To help others not like you.

Day 204 - Love's Effect

Until I felt love's effect,
I never believed in perfect.
Now through my eyes,
I see it right by my side.
A beautiful young mind,
A wholesomely, devoted find.
You're the stars I see,
The breath I breathe,
All the words I speak,
You fill my dreams as I sleep.
You pulled me across the line,
With no going back in time,
So I sit here eagerly awaiting,
Love with no more waiting.

Day 203 - An Irish Prayer

May God give you...

For every storm, a rainbow,

For every tear, a smile,

For every care, a promise, 

And a blessing for each trial. 

For every problem life sends, 

A faithful friend to share, 

For every sigh, a sweet song,

And an answer for each prayer. 

Day 202 - Time To Go

Papers scattered on the floor,
"What if?" thoughts at my core.
I don't know what the future holds,
With you, I'm as good a gold.

So strike a match, light the fuse,
There's no time to lose.
We'll burn the world as one,
Always together until life is done.

Day 201 - A Kiss on the Cheek

A kiss on the cheek
What does it mean?
Who it that lonely man?
Lover or simply a friend?
You say it was nothing,
but I know you wish,
It had been on the lips,
While laying in bed,
Tangled in skin.

Day 200 - Lonelier Without You

This tiny brick house,
Cooking in the kitchen,
Sitting on this comfy red couch
Coffee on the back deck,
Dreaming in my queen bed,
Washing my face and body,
Picking out clothes to wear,
Brushing my teeth,
Being anywhere,
Is lonelier without you.

Day 199 - A New Beginning

I'm so uninspired,
Wish I'd get fired,
Get out of this place,
Kiss you pretty face.

This town was my dream,
Its not what it seems,
False hopes and lies,
Stand on my every side.

It's time for a change,
The 4,000 miles range,
Green fields and stone,
A place we call our own.

I've played this new life out,
Picturing it, I shout,
Happiness set free,
Love, just you and me.

Day 198 - Highlight of the Day

I can't get enough of you,
Tough day?
Just wait!
I'll get to see your smiling face,
Wash my troubles away.

Day 197 - Hearts at Stake

Sights and sounds,
No words found,
About to break,
Hearts at stake.

Brown eyes hide,
Tears inside,
A smiling facade,
Happiness flawed.

A hug and a kiss,
How we'll miss,
Little things,
How you cling.

One day,
We will say,
At last,
Goodbyes in our past.

Day 196 - Another 24

Journal Square,
Filled with it's history,
Shrouded in mystery,
Is the loneliest of places,
When you're saying goodbye.

Empty rooms with a past,
Cardboard in place of glass.
Being stared at,
Just for walking past,
But I love you, so who cares.

Little shops full of spices,
Aisles packed with rices,
I'm lost in another land,
When you take my hand,
Guiding me back to our reality

Miles of stained concrete,
Without a hint of green trees,
Makes me wonder why,
Am I letting you say goodbye,
When all I want is you next to me.

The clock tower is not on our side,
Minutes keep ticking by,
If I could just jump up there,
Through the curry filled air,
We'd have another 24 hours to spare.

Day 195 - Worth The Wait

I'm waiting on my Mandy
Sippin' on my sweet tea,
She's the one who loves me,
More than anybody.

She's my heart and soul now,
Words can't explain how,
She fills me with happiness,
Craving for another kiss.

Oh what a wonder she is,

When she tells people "I'm his,"

A smile fills me so bright, 

As we dance all through the night.

She's my kind of silly,
And I think that really,
My laughs wouldn't go on,
If something should go wrong.

She takes me as I am.
Never says "I need to change him,"
We're sewed together so tight,
Nothing has ever felt more right.

Day 194 - I Know I'm In Love

Wet kisses,
Big dreams and wishes
I know I'm in love.

Small fights,
Making up at night,
I know I'm in love.

Road trips,
Bad singing from our lips,
I know I'm in love.

Cuddling as one,
Making sleeping fun,
I know I'm in love.

Laughing out loud
Not in to crowds,
I know I'm in love.

Silly faces,
In all sorts of places,
I know I'm in love.

Everything yo do,
All of you.
I know I'm in love

Day 193 - Hold on to Me

Hold On To Me - John Michael Montgomery

I wanna wake up each morning
With you for the rest of my life
I wanna feel your heart beating
And just get lost in your eyes
You can tell me your secrets
You can let me feel your pain
You can show me your weakness
And never be ashamed

Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold
When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control
You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe
Hold on to me when there's no middle ground
And every emotion is comin' unwound
And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams
Baby you can hold on to me

I wanna lay down each evenin'
With you right here by my side
I wanna get drunk on your laughter
And wipe all the tears when you cry
You can scare me with your darkness
You can blind me with your light
Throw your worries out the window baby
On your wildest night

Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold
When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control
You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe
Hold on to me when there's no middle ground
And every emotion is comin' unwound
And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams
Baby you can hold on to me

Hold on to me when there's no middle ground
And every emotion is comin' unwound
And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams
Baby you can hold on I said
Baby you can hold on I said
Baby you can hold on to me
