She


She

So there's
This girl
I like
Crush
Over
Cute
Really
Pretty

The way
Beautiful
Should look
Even
When
Waking up

Her
Hair
Perfectly
Always falls
In place
Windy days
Or
Not

And those
Skinny
Jeans
Wonders
To my
Mind
Her curves
How
Curves
Should
Curve
Exactly
That

And
I hope
She
Knows
Me
Well
Enough
Cause
I'm
Asking her
Out

Because
She
Needs to
Know
She's
Beautiful

And
Because
I want
To be
The
Only one
To hold
Her hand

April Fools


April Fools

And I'm going to
Lie
To you

Work late
End of
Quarter
Shit
I have to
Finish
Skip dinner
I'll catch
Up later

Crushed
Or
Deeply
Saddened
But understanding
Because well
Well
Work is
Work

Anxious
To wait
On a phone
Call
Text of
"I'm on my way"
Hopefully
Hopeful

A knock
On the
Door
Unexpected
Stranger
Unannounced

And low
And behold
I'm
On time
With flowers
Thoughtful
Lovely

April Fools

How To Deal


How To Deal

And deal
With her
Because
That's
How
You
Were raised
Respect
Love
Cherish

Deal with
Her
Little
Quirks
Spontaneous
Thoughts

Because
It
In some
Embarrassing
Way
Always
Makes
Your day

Deal with
Her
New recipes
Even if
It turns
Out
Good
Or bad

It always
Fills your
Stomach
Up just
Right

And
But
Most importantly
Deal with
Her
At her
Worst
Most
Vulnerable
Moments

Because
At this
Time
She wants
No one
Else
To deal
With
Her
Except
You

And She
Would only
Do the
Same
And deal
With
You

Scarlet Thanks


Scarlet Thanks

Too many
Letters
Too many A's
Handed out
Scarlet
Letter A's

But not
Enough
T's
For thanks
Simply
Not said
Or share
Enough

And today
It's
Only
Personal
Gain
Wealth

Not
For
Hope
Or the
Fact
Of
In simple
Terms
Charity

But
What we
Spell
T's
To be
Thankful
And say
Thanks

Is something
I can
Only
Say
Because
Of her

If It's Worth It


If It's Worth It

If It's
Worth
It

You'll
Know
And
You'll
Know

That instant
Not a second
Later

A switch
Flips
A light bulb
Goes off
A heart
Skips
A beat

What was
Impossible
Doesn't seem
That
Impossible

The world's
At ease

And if
It's
Worth
It

Don't stop
At
No
Don't stop
At can't

If you
Believe
That can't
Be
Taken
Away

Do
Whatever
It
Takes

Love like
No
Tomorrow

Rainy Thoughts


Rainy Thoughts

And too much
Rain
For the
Thoughts
Ideas
About this
Girl
To come out
On paper
Or just
In plain view

Chilly
The days
Cold the
Nights
Away
From her
As
Frost mornings
Bring
Little hope

But
When
That day
The right
Day
Comes
When she
Comes back
The
Sun
Somehow
Breaks
Through the
Clouds

Bringing
Light
And hope
Sunny
Warmth
On my
Skin

And I
Know
Everything
Will be
Ok

Fortune Cookies

Fortune Cookies

Give me
A girl
Who'd
Rather cook
Than
Eat out

Drink
Cheap beer
But expensive
Martinis

Dress up
When
You're supposed
To
Dress down

Just give
Me that
With a
Clean
Clever
Smile

And
It's
All because
Horoscopes
I never
Believe

Especially
From
Fortune
Cookies

But who
Knew
That it
Would
Lead
Me to
You

Priceless


Early
Plans
Before she
Comes back

Dinner
Made
Special
Family
Recipe
Secrets
Hopefully
To one day
Share
With her

Flowers
Bought
Her
Favorite
But she
Smells
Better

Last
But not
Least
Candles
Lit
Lights
Dimmed
And

She
Comes
Walking in
Perfect timing

The smile
On her
Face
As I
Kiss her
Hello
Priceless

Half Full


Half Full

Love
Half full
Or
Empty

These days
Let's just
Guess
And hope
For the
Best

And while
It's
Just a
Phase

It's one
That could
Last
Awhile
Or
To long

So just
Wait

But
How long
And
Is there
Enough
Patience

But
Tomorrow
Leaves
Something
More
Desirable

But
Is
It
Or just
She
Worth
Big
Investments
Made

So
I don't
Know

Half full
Or
Just
Half empty

Well Love


Well Love

Well love
And I
Should
Believe
In it
Because of
Who loves
Me

Mark them
On my
Belt
As hope
Or
Reminders
Of how
This all
Plays out

Because when
It's all said
And done
The belt just
Gets tighter
Yet we don't
Feel a
Thing

Bad Timing


Bad Timing

Sometimes
Waking up
On the wrong
Side of
The Bed
Or life
Feels like
This morning

A shot
To end it
All
Blown
With
Lady

Bad timing
I guess
Now I
Wake up
Late
Go figure
No alarm
Clock
On life
Or this
Morning

Stumble
To shower
To clothes
To meet
Lady
For coffee

Late again
With her
Or just
Life

Bad timing

Meetings
At work
Unprepared
Over
Dressed
Wishing
Today was
Over

And
Maybe
One day
Some day
I'll
Fix it
Timing

With
My life
With
Her

Better Than This


Better Than This

Here
What I write
Tonight
Late enough
To sleep
Or early
Enough
To get
Up

E-mails
Or
Texts
My phone
Beeps
Wishful
Thinking
As it's
Just my alarm

But OK
Start
My day

With just
A thought
Idea
Or a wish

That it will
All
Someday
Be
Better
Than this

Dear Heart


Dear Heart

Dear
Heart
Don't
Die

Young and
Restless
Full of
Blood
Full of
Hope

Time flies
Of good
Love
In love

Dear
Heart
Beat
Strong

Now
Who
Can you
Trust
Mistrust
Lies
Deceptions

Dear
Heart
Keep
Beating

Recovery
Deep
Breaths
Don't fall
Keep
Beating forward

Dear heart
Keep
The same
Beat
Same pace

Because
Lost time
Causes
Skipped
Beats
Rather
Breaking down

Dear heart
Keep beating
Don't stop
Keep...

Another New Day


Another New Day

I like
How I
Come
Over late
Especially
When
She's
Scared
Thunderstorms
Lightning

Or
If
I miss her
Surprise
Visits
Chinese
Food

Up
All night
Under covers
While
Movies play
Reruns
Off the
ABC channel

And
If the
Next morning
Waking up
Next to
Her
Starts
My days
Off
Best

Refreshed
More than
Other
Nights
And
Leaving
The
Sun
Always
Seems
To shine
Just
A little
Brighter

Another
New day
Started
By
You

Happy


Happy

I’m happy
To be happy
Happy to be accepted
For who I am
What I like
What I do

I’m happy
To be happy
And
Happy to have
You

Carry On


Carry On

If the
World
Were
To end
Soon
Tonight
Would
You
Be able
To confess
What I
Would
Confess
To you

And
Would
You
In those
Last
Few
Frozen seconds
Accept
What
I had
To say

And
If you
Survived
Over
Me
Would
You
Still
Carry on
The same

Loveless


Loveless

Fall
In love
Comfortably
But
Not too
Cozy
Because
That would
Mean
Love truly

Ready
To love
But not
Settle
Yet
With her
Or anyone
Specifically

Theoretically
Growing up
But
Growing
In and
Out of
Love

Decisions
I can't
Make

And
In the
End
Comfortably
Uncomfortable
In love
But
Loveless

No Going Back


No Going Back

And you
Can't
Go back
Even in
Your dreams
When she
Opens
Her arms
One last
Time
Only to be
Waking up
Holding pillows

But as with
Life
It forces
Always
Pushing
Against
Your will
Forward
Into
Unknown

And only
To
Love the
Now
And future
But
Celebrate
The past
Because
Today
There
Are
No more
John Wayne's
Or
Audrey Hepburn's
Of
Love
To love
Anymore

The
Romances
Of today
Are
Rare
But true
In the
Find
And
A romance
Found
Is worth
Far more
Than
Any amount
Of money

And as
History
Repeats
Love is
A full
Commitment
To the
Romance
Her

Because
Now
Once
Again
You decided
To go
All in

For
When
Falling
In love
There's
No going
Back

Don't Let Go


Don’t Let Go

Hold her hand
Tight
And don’t let
Go
Because tomorrow
You have to
Go

And leave
For a week
Only a week
Might
As well be a
Month
A year even
Fuck

I don’t want
To go
Leave
Her smile
Her smell
Her touch
Most importantly
Her

I don’t want
To leave
Her
Ever

Never Shout Never


Never Shout Never

Never
Shout
Never
She says
About life
Hope
Happiness
And love

But I’ll
Choose not
To believe
From my past
That digs my
Grave
A dark
Hole
Deep pit
In my stomach
A page
In a book
I’ll never turn
To again

Never
Shout
Never
She says
As she
Kisses me
On my cheek

There’s
Always
Another chance
A new hope

And I believe
Believe in it
Just like I
Believe
In her
See it
In her eyes
Hear it
In her voice
And feel it
In her kiss

I lean back
Into her
And whisper
In her ear
I’ll

Never
Shout
Never
