I Cheated

Wasn't looking for this at any time,

Rising to the front before it gets out of line.
Caring for you and the testimony shows,
A deeper love from man, you'll never know,

The greatest that's in bodied in you,
Is where purest things hail so true.
A minor thing for me to give my life,
When forever and a day you are my wife,

And yet I find there's one issue,
Accumulating day by day like a volume,
In all my days I've never had this problem,
Conflicted notification to my heart's registration,

A Love of more than you, a founded accusation,
I cheated... I cheated on you,
Called to witness that all of me you haven't received,
I could sympathize if you were to leave,

For my heart, body and soul I'll give my life,
But the only one I'll do that for is Christ.

She'll Find A Way

Almost gave up on "Love", so I guess I almost gave up on you,

Forgive me for sharing this moment, even though it’s true,
Wondered if "Love" would show her gorgeous face,
After teasing in times past, as if it were a race,

A race to give and take away what I desired above all,
When she calls, I can never refuse,
Amnesia my thoughts, feeling I can’t lose,
As she reveals her heart, a gift I’m unworthy to receive,

This time’s different; I have her attention as she proceeds to talk,
Suggesting we meet up with "Destiny" and all take a walk,
Trusting my heart that this time she’ll stay,
Love from above has finally flowed my way,

Heard her arrival from across the abyss,
Connection so strong, the pull I could never resist,
Because all that I held before, I had to let go,
As I prepare to go deeper into depths unknown,

Stronger, as I feel the Sunshine through the rain,
Carry the world on my shoulders, just to give her shade,
Be her kinsman redeemer, as she renews my hope,
That "Love" is never lost or delay,
But when perfected always finds a way,

Clueless

It's like I thought I could apprehend,
But a conclusion was sorely missed.
Secured I had it set and planned,
Deducing in Love I was the MAN.
Know it, write it and how it should be,
How to relinquish the greater parts of me.
Scraping bottle of the barrel?
When it was only the tip of the iceberg.
I was severely absurd.
So let me take time to acknowledge of what I had no clue,
That I never Loved anyone until the day I met you.

Coming Attraction

She causes me to write for eternity,
Then stop to devise ways to say it more cleverly,
Pronounce to the globe my feelings forever,
And when they can’t comprehend, say “Whatever”.

Because I'm writing what flows from my heart,
Giving her all she deserves from the very start,
On those tablets, as things become more clear,
The direction through God, that draws her more near.

On moments when my mind sees her face,
Reminded its Him, then her, so priorities are never out of place,
Because I know what He gives, can also be taken,
So I secure my faith in Him, assured it's not shaken.

Ask Him for things to be as He deems,
For He’s never faltered concerning my needs,
And knowing my soul, His blessing to let these things be,
Like seeing the trailer of a movie I most want to see.

Spam Mail

This morning I woke to a prayer received
Knew it was from you, that's what I believe
Writing these words trying to do the same,
A prayer to my love who's yet to be named...

Manifest one I'll have the deepest talks,
Hold on close for romantic walks,
An answer to when can I cook for two,
Or see a family vacationing and replacing them with you.

Watch romance movies and have you as my ending,
Wake up next to you each day a new beginning,
Valentine's year around because you'll be mine,
Thinking about fondly on the nine-to-five,

Reminisce at weddings about our first dance as one,
Or listening to music knowing that’s our song,
When you’re scared, into my arms fall,
The one everything drops for when ever you call,

Times when the house is quiet and you're by yourself,
To fill that void like no one else,
For those moments when you’re feeling some type of way
Know I’m coming home without delay,

If a cold dark night, for warmth to me,
Be one you most desired and longed to see,
Through the evening door to massage away the pain,
Waiting to listen to your day and what you have to say,

The one I'll love to say "I missed you",
Anything for a chance to goodbye kiss you,
No longer wondering when you would arrive,
Or the first time meeting, saying Hello or Hi,

So until times elapses for the reveal,
A heart's desire to join as one in this is sealed,
Hoping in this prayer, the love you can truly tell,
But if not I'll send it again tomorrow, just check your Spam Mail.

Criminal Intent

Criminal claims and I'll gladly stand convicted...,

Of stealing your time, your thoughts and taking them for myself,
In a quest to capture your love a sentence I have left.
No wavering but this titillation of heart is so worth the case,
As you immerse into my pores and a drop I refuse to waste.

Unfathomable these emotions, but I can't withdraw,
Forgive me as my world stops every time you call.
Knowing well, I attempt to balance my heart,
Not a little, yet far from its start.

Creation knows none other by your name,
Even in a parallel universe it couldn't find the same.
Seemingly making life even more the pleasure,
My existence realizes this blessing beyond measure.

Seeing it's touched the Night's stars,
Materialize in my soul right where you are.
Patiently until this day, as time makes itself known,
As a million words could not display what your life's shown...,

That if the Love of you is truly a crime,
I'll do it all over it again, a thousand times.

When Birds Fly

Avoided getting close, just to escape this feeling,
Gravity pulling her to my soul, Nothing escapes this black hole,
Refusing to show the fullness of my affection,
Secretly wishing God made her my selection,

Sitting by a stream wondering why...

Why one who soars through blue skies,
Finds her way to earth by my side,
Like a complex puzzle fitting so perfectly,
Giving hints there were more chapters to read,

If this reality was cloudy, I couldn't clearly see...

Savoring each moment that led to knowing her,
Holding every so gently hopes of loving her,
Feeling it's her presence my life's been missing,
If I'm the Pauper, she'll be the Princess,

Like an honest wind blowing through elderly trees...

Praying life would give me a little more time,
Wanting nothing but her best, I'll close my eyes,
Cheering her on with my words, even when my heart cries,
But this was the chance I took, knowing birds fly.

Designed for You

My words, are only words,
Offer the chance to observe,
God's design for you and I,
Please don't be coy, don't be shy,

As I apprehend your voice to my ears,
Resonating with a heartbeat, my heartbeat,
For it stalls, until you speak.

Articulate your heart, say on,
I'm worthy of you, hold on,
Grasp me for eternity with your love,
For a thousand years a day when you're above,

Or each day with you, a thousand years,
Even when touched, I still want you near,
Seeing you, I wouldn't change a thing,
Flaws and All, of which I cannot see,

Your presence makes weak, as He makes strong.
Love continues, enduring forever long,
Package for me as Destiny heeds,
As my choice brings me to one knee.

Chemistry

Bonds seek to attract to Love and Romance,
Covalently sharing for this Life to Enhance.
Inseparable the goal, Love is achieved.
Silenced the doubts, as fear now leaves.

Rainy tears fall from my eyes,
Shield and sword laid aside.
Apprehensive energy displaced, I'm so defenseless.
Still so secure which drives me senseless.

Hope abounds that we'll be forever.
If only my emotions could be felt in this letter.
Sweet immersion into your soul's embrace,
Paused for eternity as time gives chase.

Reflection

Distance closes, and there she lies,
Uneasy is the word that describes,
The moments when we find the time,
Never lost, the fact that you're not mine,

Not of this earth, falling softly from the sky,
God's gift to me, on borrowed time,
Abiding here, now all's in place,
Humbled for I'm not worthy of this grace,

Grateful my eyes were able to see,
Purposed woman, a welcomed breeze,
Only with you, do I feel unworthy,
Reminds cherished blessings don't come daily,

Found Love, which quickly displace,
False intentions on you gently laced,
Embracing our dreams, we flow the same,
Reflection of myself, I offer my name.

Linger

Let’s not say goodbye, "See you later" leaves more hope,
The possibility of not loving you, it's hard to cope,
Just thinking about you, makes my heart speed,
Press on the brakes, because I see the need,

As writing temporarily relieves the pain,
Struggling with doubts if you feel the same,
Wanting me, as much as I want you,
As skies and rivers are the only things blue

Lingers the touch, that sweetens relief,
As dreams come, and leave as brief,
Love straightens, makes things crystal clear,
Anything that harms, I don’t want near,

Strength that holds on for dear life,
Even after the day, we are husband and wife.

Fingertips

Sitting here, no strength to move,
Day creeps away, as Night now looms,
Empty hands, display what's lost,
A lonely Heart, gently tallies the cost,

Drown doubts, deep as Great Lakes,
Illuminate decisions, turned to mistakes,
Time drifts on, As we Live and Die,
Watching Love grow, then stroll on by.

Mulligan

I can’t help ponder that there’s something I miss,
Possibly opportunity for happiness that leads to sweet bliss,
Just as dry sand slips through these clay hands,
Did I lose the occasion to be your man?

Wishes designed with you somehow still being here,
Wouldn't have manifest, till you were no longer near,
Seems I often moved too slow, others times too soon,
Understanding the sun doesn't shine the same, when you're the moon,

Stuck in life’s traffic, with no GPS, in need of direction,
Lying to myself, saying I don't, require your affection,
If one wish was granted, and your presence inhabited mine,
I'll tell myself I’ll do better next time,

But time is not obligated, to repeat the things we take for granted,
Like a heart felt plea, for Love's second chances.

Unconcealed

Someone stop the clock, please hold back the press,
Maybe I shouldn't say, but my heart can't rest,
Beating, wanting, calling for only you,

Regardless of whether this feeling is returned,
There's no doubt for you I yearn,
Smiling each moment I see your face,
But telling myself give time, give space,

Attempting to conceal the elation produced at mention of your name,
Causing a little dance...a small celebration, yea,I can't re-frame.
Because making myself absence, only makes my heart grow fonder,
Surely, imprisoned desires won't hold much longer,

When not here, sorely you are missed,
Lips patiently wait, for the touch of your kiss,
Hoping that each decision, brings me closer to the truth,
That Love is not lost, when it's unlock in you.
