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.
