Midnight

In the still of the night
I wake
To lay my eyes upon your face
Fixed in my gaze
You are beauty, elegance and grace
and I worship you in a sleepy haze
The sweet perfume of your skin
Surrounds me
Your eyes shine like pearls in a dark sea
In the shadows of the night
Glints of light
Burn like candles in the darkness
Flickering in and out of consciousness
Your eyelids heavy
Each blink slow and steady
You look at me and smile 
The fire within you burns for a while
Until your tired eyes close again
And I look at you wondering when
They may open
And drench my world in gold
Warming my hands in the glow
Of the fire within your soul
You awaken parts of me
That have been asleep
For far too long
Waiting for you to light my nights
With your precious smile
And I know when I close my eyes and begin dreaming
I will picture every redeeming
Quality, every perfect trait that you possess
And dream of ways to express
The way you have changed me forever
Every day and every night is made better
By you, my darling, you
Are the one I've given my heart away to

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
