DESIRE

ebony skin
chocolate eyes
rapid heartbeat
quivering thighs
hair of gold
fervent sighs
lips to drown in
why can't i.
wish i was
the one
you seek
but when we pass
you never speak
 i keep
my thoughts
to myself
my desire
put on
a shelf.
rapid heartbeat
quivering thighs
but you
just keep
walking by
...my desire.

SOMEONE

i used to  pray
to God above
that he would send me
someone with love.
someone forthright
someone strong
someone who
would hold me
for right
and for wrong.
i used to speak
to the angels
thru song
asked that my wait
would not be for long.
asked that you
would recognize me
been alone
for a while now
you see.
i used to pray
to the heavens above
...God sent me you
welcome home my love!

DON'T THINK

i don't think of you anymore.
 not in the dark of night
 not when i lie alone in my bed
 i don't think of you anymore.
 not when i smell your scent
 carried in the breeze
 not when our song comes on the radio
 and plays in my heart.
 i don't think of you anymore.
 not when i gaze at your picture
 lopsided in a broken frame
 reflection of my broken heart.
 NO i don't think of you anymore.
