The Real Thing

I try to fight it

This cannot be so true

This is all because of you

The passion is so intense

You have me up against this fence

You have me in this whirlwind

I cannot fight it

 

My desire is strong

Waiting every minute is just too long

You are everywhere I see

You are everything I dream

I am falling in love with you

You take me

Just when I thought I could not feel

Just when I thought I could not see

You have me at a place I did not know existed

You have me

 

A part of me was dying

I was slipping away, I saw it leaving and there was nothing I could do

Until I met you

You made me want to feel

You make me want to believe

You made me want to give

You made me want to receive

 

I see a little more clear with you in my life

It is not all black and white

You have brought me color

I scream for you

Can you hear me crying out

With you, I have no doubt

I will protect you

I will stand by you

I stand up to you

I will be by your side

I want you more with every breathe

 

It is your touch, it is your look

It is what I have been in search of

My search had ended

My needs are met

I see in you what you see in me

I feel the real thing

I look into her eyes and melt in the smile.
So pure and sweet, so innocent and genuine.
Hair up in a ponytail, a small bonnet on her head.
Moving her hands and wiggling in bed.
She laughs like it's going out of style,
and cry's like there's no tomorrow.
Going out on the town, getting all dressed up,
a pink flower dress with butter cups.
Sits in the back without a word to say,
looking in the rearview mirror it's the only way.
Thinking what I have and loving it all,
treating her like a queen and making the call.
On the phone I talk of nothing else,
to my wife I mention were on our way.
Alyssa and I here we come,
just in time
for her number one.

The Time has Come

Waiting patiently for the signal, wide awake and ready to go.
It is now that all the preparation and hard work will finally pay off.
All the practice and all the breathing will have to be put to use.
The coach is ready and willing and the pupil is wishing and wanting.
No more false alarms, they are much too close together.
The months of wondering are approaching rather quickly.
The car is packed and the plan is made.

That time has come to make our way.
In to the car we go, all soaking wet,
the last string of events before she blows.
Pulling up to the area and getting all the help.

Doctors and nurses come running as I prepare for the event.
There she goes, through the doors, as I wash-up and put on the greens.

Walking into the room with much anticipation,
waiting for the Doctor and feeling the exasperation.
Push, push ,breath, breath, cast your eyes on that designated point.

Grasping my hand with strength I never knew she had,
wish she would let go so the blood would flow.

Watching and waiting and seeing the head, lost of hair,
is it black or red? Push, push, just one more time,
it's half way out, it's that time. Kicking and screaming with hands all around.

Drew is the name, we have found.

Beautiful Soul

I am lost my love, I am so lost

Feel my pain, feel my desire

Feel my fear and hold me so near

You have embraced my existence

When I touch you, you touched me

When I close my eyes, it is you that I see

I want to hold you, I can't let go

I don't want to let you go

Together we are one,

With our soul, with our mind

Together we have passion

Together, can we be together?

Is the honesty too much

As I drop to my knees, I struggle

I want to hold you, I want to love you

I want you to make this feeling disappear

Why did you have to be so great

Why did you have to be so far

Why did you have to answer me

Why am I faced with these temptations

Your smell is in my memory

Your face will not go away

Was it the way you sipped your Brandy

Was it the way you looked at me with your head turned the way

Your picture was complete

Today, together we meet

Your beauty took me by surprise

Your touch took me away

You have entered my mind

You have entered my heart

And to think I have only seen you once in this lifetime

And to think you mean so much

Do you feel the same

Is this all but a game

Wish you could see the look on my face

Wish I could close my eyes and kiss your lips

You took my heart today

My emotions are high

My drive home, I was flying so high

My smile did not fade

I cannot run

I want to run from this

This should not have come to be

This is not me

Never before have I given so much

Never before have been given so much

Tainted love or emotions on the sleeve

I cannot sleep, I cannot believe

Who are you, where did you come from

Why are you hear

Why did it come so natural

I keep asking myself why

Is this practical

Is this right

How can something so right, be wrong

Can you see where I am coming from

As you read this,

I see a tear

I reach out to touch your face

It is you who I cannot erase

So many questions

Where are the answers

I am afraid of the answers

I am afraid of the answers

La Bou

It all began one evening at a place called La Bou.
People at the counter where talking, just as I was to you.
Before I realized, the time went by, looking at my watch, I had to fly.
Walking to the car side by side, I asked if you needed a ride.
Just like that it all began.
You and I and this master plan.
All the success and all the fortune has come so quickly.
The hard work we put in has paid off.
Now we can relax and enjoy one another.
Just you and I, live our lives as we please, for you are all I need.
I can never stress enough, the love I have for you.
Living day to day is how I know I love you.
I look in your eyes and melt, my heart, body and soul, all for you.
My end will come with you.
So don't ever leave and I'll never end.
Now, I look back and laugh on that day in that Cafe called La Bou.

And There She Lay

It was the most satisfying, thought provoking
and pleasurable sense of feeling:

Not the perfect golf shot laid up by the tee
or a ball player bent and the knee;
Not the "L" shape of a quarterbacks arm
or a school boy prodigy from the farm;
Not a one-two counter punch by a heavyweight
or watching highlights of late greats;
Not an ace to end the match
or a hanging portrait of "the catch";
Not the twirling of an ice skater with her arms up
or a shot down the line during the Davis Cup.

It was the most inspiring, positive, and glorious
spectacle:

Not reading the perfect ending or watching a star descending;
Not a picture of mountains and a lake
or a Baskin Robbins birthday cake;
Not a great article in Readers Digest
or a hot summers night in August;
Not the narration of a Shakespearean play
or a letter to a loved one far, far away;
Not the slight sip of a glass of wine
or a look across the table drawing the line.

It was the simplicity of it all,
me just laying there next to you.
Side by side in bed, as you rest your sleepy head.
Waiting for you to open your eyes, so I may
give you this surprise.

Nothing is as satisfying, thought provoking or
gives me a more pleasurable sense of feeling like you do.

A pretentious and skeptical World
filled with frustrations, inabilities and infidelities.
A lack of hope for some and an
overabundance of hope for others.

There lies but one given, one truth, one mystique.
One figure stands forth with all the tenacity,
one figure stands forth with all the knowledge,
one figure stands forth with all the courage.

This one figure we look upon with trust, honor, and dignity.

Not a day can go by, when you or I
will ever wonder why we are here.

Will it be the wine time at five
or taking her home on the drive.

Will it be her sitting on a chair, or asking for a
pillow and scratching her hair.

Will it be hearing the turning of her wheels as
she walks on by, or the talk of Reagan, Bush, and why
Nixon would lie.

Will it be her cautious, yet genuine smile
or taking the walk along the Bradbury mile.

Will it be the sight of her beloved St. John's,
or the talk of her stocks and bonds.

Will it be about getting her hair done
or playing bridge just for the fun.

Will it be going to the store for a quart of milk
or shopping at Macy's for the blouse made of silk.

Will it be eating dinner with her friends at Classic
or talks of Hoxie and how it was fantastic.

Will it be the mere mention of Noonie
or the sight of Bret Hart;
With pictures, words and
memories, they will never part.

In our heart there is a tremendous void, but our minds are rich.

So Much Pain

 

I can see it in your eyes

I can hear it every time we talk

I can feel it with every hug

The pain inside

Today, the pain is no longer

You do not have to bear it any more

Today, you are gone

This is the way I have to say goodbye

 

Little did you know

You set the perfect role model

It was every word you said

It was every action you took

It was every look you gave

 

You were so unhappy in this life

Oh God did it show

So much regret that you kept inside

So much guilt you must have felt

You never took care of yourself

You never took care of me

You never took care of anyone that I can see

But still you were my mother

And still I loved you so

 

You were not there when I needed you the most

You did not call when you should have

You did not show up when you could have

But I know you did the best you could

When you were here, I did not call as much as I should have

I did not tell you enough how much I loved you

Not knowing how much I would miss you

Today I feel the pain

I feel the pain for you and what you must have endured in this life

 

Today, you left me and I never got the chance to say goodbye

I am sorry if I caused you some of that pain

I am sorry I did not call

I just want you to know, I have and always will love you

You are my mother

a love like this

what i would do for a love like this

i would walk 1000 miles bare foot, in the blistering hot sun

over a desert full of sand

with no where to run

i would find myself wondering aimlessly in search for your love

i would look great distances, go to great lengths

i would go days without eating

months without drinking, just to find you

to search for you

you see me for what i am, i am for your eyes only

i see in you

i would never stop

now that i have tasted love

now that i know what love can be

i will not stop or settle for anything less

i will not let you go

i will never stop thinking

i will never stop believing

looking into your eyes

there is no turning back

you make me feel young

i will be everything you need

i will give you everything you want

one girl, one boy

this is the day i have been waiting for my whole life

there are no secrets, what you see is what you get

i will tell you everything

i will sacrifice it all, all for you

i pray to god for you, as you are his greatest gift

a love like this is something to cherish

something to grab a hold of and don't let go

i will not let go

i have a love like this

you are my love like this

i will not let go
