WHEN

when i think
of you
my lip quivers
my body shivers
my eyes glaze
walk around
in a haze
when i think
of you.
when i think
of you
my knees buckle
my voicebox chuckles
my heart is a flutter
can't speak
only stutter
...when i think of you

CHECKMATE

dust gathers
around memories
lost
inside my head
don't you know
you are the one
that
i need
in my life
to have
and
to hold
but
too steep
is your price
games that you play
i was never
told the rules
checkmate
my friend
now
WHO IS THE FOOL?

DON'T KNOW ME

ebony cream
chocolate dream
smile of gold
arms to hold
me 
when i cry
but hard as
i try
you don't know me.
bronze like the sun
full of laughter
full of fun
highlight
of my day
but you won't look
my way
cause you don't know me.
