In Your Eyes

Glancing into your eyes

I see the beauty of that girl I fell for so long ago

A look that I almost lost

Mistakes and miscues I had made

Left me with a unthinkable cost

I know that all is not perfect

But I will love you with no regrets

Looking at your eyes I know the way back

Your heart I shall ever protect

Never taking for granted that which you have given

By your side I shall ever stand

Until the end and I am holding God’s mighty hand

You are my heavenly gift

Within your eyes my heart shall never be adrift

You are my love, my life, my one and only

Winter Wonderland

When I was a kid winter was a magical time of the year

Sledding, building forts, snow angels and so much more

A time to look forward to Christmas time and vacation

Looking forward to watching the snow fall

Heading outside to play till I was frozen to the bone

As I grew, the magic was replaced by just having fun

Snowball fights, skeetching behind the bus, and so much more

Getting our driver’s license and learning what fun it could be

Doing donuts in the snow, slide turns with the emergency brake

Going on ski trips, sledding until all hours in the dark

Adulthood hit and things began to change

The winter time was more of a pain

Driving to work, digging out the drive way and so much more

Yes there was times of fun

Playing with the kids, building snowmen and a few other things

What do I look forward to in winter now a days

I look forward to the first day of spring and the warmth it brings.

What I Have in You

A smile upon your face

A twinkle from your eyes

The warmth from your embrace

The Softness of your caress

Passion dripping from your lips

Happiness is what I have from you

My love and heart are forever true

A journey through life we share

No one else will ever do

With you is all I want

Together forever

In this life and the next we will always be

 

 

 

Anticipation of You

Anticipation of you

Time passes slowly as I think of what we will do

Being apart is a drain on my soul

You are what in the end makes me whole

When I walk through that door

It is you I look for

The look in your eyes

Makes me begin to fantasize

What our night may bring

You are my everything

A night of passion

A night of conversation

A night next to you

Is all I want to do

So I sit here still

Waiting with Anticipation

Itch

Creeping crawling under your skin

Not sure of where you should begin

Twisting turning trying to reach

Scratching clawing unable to find

Driving you crazy outta of your mind

Rubbing against a door frame for relief

Finding none but disbelief

Grabbing a stick if you dare

Rubbing it around without a care

Still no reprieve from that gnawing itch

It drives you crazy, son of a bitch

Asking a friend to dig in with their claws

Keep on missing the spot just because

Sweat forms on your brow

As you seek a respite

Trying to take a bite

Falling to the floor you try once more

Sliding yourself until your head hits the door

That itch, that itch

Ain’t it a bitch.

Blue

What do you do when the one you love is sad and blue

How do you make the hurt stop

Telling them it will be ok

Won’t take the pain away

A hug, a kiss or a look

Will this help today

Just being there for them

It is what I try to do

Inside I feel a failure

However I shall never give up

Never go away

I will love you each day

Until those blues are a memory left in the past

My love for you is what will last
