Touch of Heart
(original version)

Whispering, whistling sound of the wind
Soft sounds of waves rolling onto the shore
View of the clouds, being a vision of you
Feelings of intense emotions control my body.

When I am missing you, so much
I close my eyes; see you
Just feeling your soft touch
Sight of those beautiful blue eyes
Feeling your tender lips against mine
Sound of your soft spoken voice
Smile, warming my heart
Pure passion flows through my body
Energy, felt so strong.

Glancing at the glistening stars
Happiness sparkles from my eyes
My heart trembles with the vision of you
Warm, exciting feelings run through my body
Love, I have always looked for
I have been yearning to see you again.

As thoughts go through my mind
Illuminating smile appears on my face
Just the thought of your sweet passionate kiss
Touching those lips, one more time
Embracement of our two bodies
Caressing of the souls
Deep, passion of fire embraces me.

Love for you, will continue for eternity
Love, caresses my soul
Love, puts me in Heaven
Love, with such sincerity
Love, I never knew
Love, makes me glow
Love, brought me to you
Love, so real

I have so many emotions
Sometimes it is hard to express them to you
I always try my hardest; you know I do
Feelings, I have are so very new
I express them as much as I can.

Emotions blessing me with the feeling of love
Breathlessness for all of eternity
Excitement of the presence of you
I know you will always be there.

At times, pain hurts, so much
Just being able to see you
Just being able to hear  you
I know my spirit will always be with you

You make me so happy
You bring me such joy
You are so wonderful
You are so beautifully sexy.

Love, makes me, so happy
Love, puts my heart to rest
Love, drives me, so crazy
Love, just being with you
Love, with so much energy

Happiness, blankets my soul
It is the joy of just being with you.



Welcome to the New City of Tombstone

Dust fills the view of the radiating sun’s path
From shining on this city of a devious wrath
With horses evolving into motor carriages
And pure water lacking to take a bath.

This place is not built like the might battleship, Sverige
And the people disparage someone new
To this wonderful establishment of remarriage.
Many people have died on this cutting edge

And many of the stories you have heard are true
About the many concrete erections from the ground.
These people sat and played their cards with a few brews,
But many of them could not construe.

These folks could not hear the wonderful sounds
And their issues were tightly wound.
Now, beyond the city limits are hundred of mounds;
Please read the tombstones all around…

Kurtis came home one day; what were the thoughts
Was he so upset; distraught?
His mother was in the other room; could’ve got caught…
He must have been deep in thought
Got a gun; then blew his head off.

Shawn ran away; couldn’t be found
Hopefully, he was not dead and in the ground
His addiction to heroin seemed to be profound
Would Shawn ever be found?
He was found shot on the other side of town…

Whatever happened to Wild Bill?
He drank and took too many pills.
It was all for the fun; the thrill…
Now, he is under a small grassy hill.

Tom had a brother, who passed away
His self esteem seemed to decay
Parked his pickup a few miles away…
He jumped off the bridge in dismay;
His body has just been found, today.

James was driving to a friend’s in his car
He and his girlfriend were not going far
An argument escalated; it became bizarre…
They crashed into another oncoming car
Now, the only thing left is a little bit of tar.

Well folks, I hope it was not a terrible view
And our town has become brand new.
Our weapons have transformed into automatics
The smog has made some of our people erratic.

Our card games are now in towering concrete buildings
After seeing the tombstones, our hearts are still rebuilding.
Our horses have been left in the pastures
And so far we have had no world ending disaster.

Our minds want to be in the old saloon
And hearing the preying wolf, hounding at the moon,
But those days have past into the black.
Now, things seem so out of whack.

The city lights blare into the midnight sky
In this place, many have lived, but many have died
A weathered old man sits on the rickety old porch of bones;
He stares and snarls, ”Welcome to the New City of Tombstone…”



The "Forbidden" Ocean

As she sat on her porch at the shore,
She wrote a poem called, “Forbidden”
An ocean flowed within her heart
Love penetrated so deep within her soul
Secretly, she hoped to find her true love.

She had already started a family years ago, but
They were young; then the games started
She had found panties; condoms in his truck
He said they were not his;
A friend of his borrowed his truck;
He yelled at her all the time
Demeaning her character
Then he used their children as pawns
He said he would take the children away if she left.

Her dreams were to have someone hold her
Firmly, with his arms around her
She wanted to sacrifice her whole life for him;
Be mesmerized by his charm.

She had searched long, hard
When she found him, would it feel so right?
Searching the inner depths of her soul
In her dreams, she hoped to see the light.

It was forbidden love
She was committed to a relationship, but
Her heart took another direction.

Is there a time that they would part?
Or will her heart sit there weeping?

A few years later, her dream came true
He gave her many passionate kisses.
They talked like they knew each other for years
Two hearts, minds, and souls intertwined as one.

Soul mates crossing starlit paths
Moonlighting across the galaxy
It was her every dream…



Lying Beside You

Lying beside you on a cold winter night
Hearing, sounds of your warm pulsating heart
Gliding my fingers across your gentle satin skin
We massage our bodies and souls.

Longing for a sweet, soft, excitable passionate kiss
Thoughts of happiness this will bring
Warm, soft song, my heart will sing
Everlasting romance, bonds me with you.

Passion, we have is all, so true
Love between you and me is electrifying...
Words spoken very soft, clear, blissfully
Deep, love penetrating my emotions.

Lying beside you in the middle of the night
Exuberant bliss of love; passion
Seeing those baby blue eyes
Glance to a gaze.

Silence come over us
Kisses passionately join us together.
Lying beside you for eternity...
Lying beside you...



Sitting on a Dune

I sit here on a dune on the Wildwood Beach
Remembering the memories of our past
Love, so heartfelt, but not in reach
And time has flown, so fast.

I still see your ocean blue eyes
And smile illuminates my face,
But still ask myself, "Why?"
Love was short lived, in this case.

I can sit here and stare at the crashing waves
Looking into the sky and seeing a vision of you
My heart's feelings are lost in the caves,
But I will not sit and stew.

I look toward the bright sun lit sand
Where the shells hold the secrets of our past
Keeping the silence over the land.
We were similar with a little contrast.

In this ocean, the feelings rage; then subside.
Hearing her voice within the wind
Saying," I still have the feelings; they will never die.
I will take them with me wherever I go or whoever I am with."



Rippling Waves

Standing on the dock; gazing at the water
Peaceful, serene, tranquil love
Hearing the creaking of the boards
Anxious, virginal, suspenseful
Waves crash against the pier
Wet, first touch, exotic
Boat, slowly, comes closer
Ramming, intercourse, splashing
Rope gets tied to the dock
Tangling, intertwining, restrictive
Boat’s ropes loosen; heads out to sea
Rocking, overcoming, stamina
Cutting through the jagged waves
Exhilarating, adventurous, ecstasy
Ship handles the raging waves in the sea.



Consumed by Nature

Warmth,
radiates a spiritual bliss within my existence
enlightening view of my experience
eyes show the illuminating truths of the soul
encountering them with delicate convictions
with the beauty of the enlightening gaze.
Others appear to abandon their spirits wishes
gliding through forest of illusions
consumed by ecstasies of our innocent planet
Planet, who is so loving and caring
is here to assist us through our lives
her grass flows from the mountains
peeks overlooking valleys and plains
oceans binding the beauty of the land
water cascading on the depths of  her body
helping to soothe the souls in its presence
sun blesses the earth with her appearance
warming the souls of a distant planet
brightening our prospective of our lives
bring a heavenly embracement
floating, so delicately,so peacefully, so free...
Moon gazes upon us in its own peacefulness
pacifying our very souls from becoming so troublesome
helping us find our divine wishes and desires
accompanied by sparkling stars
blanketing the evening sky
showing us the diminutive size of our existence.
She is a small planet in the large universe
still, she is here to assist us in our lives
nature of helping us solve our concerns
and she disregards illusions and ecstasies of life.



Free Fall

Running to the end of the cliff; jumping
Exhilarating, heartwarming, loving
Fall against the fierce winds
Rush, heart pounding, exotic
Spreading arms to flow in the air
Feelings, emotions, mind boggling
Wind screeches to a halt
Falling, bulleting, accelerating
Wondering if this is the end
Love, coldness, hate
Wind speeds back up, flowing again
New person, past events, new beginning
Gliding across the bright blue sky
Early love, new feeling, reborn
Parachute opens; pulling back
Turmoil, fricton, painful
Ride seems tranquil
Peaceful, serene, but
Still surfaces in the back of your mind
Moving side to side to avoid
Obstructions, rejection, deceit
Missing the tree tops
Thankful, anxious, refreshing
Splashing into the ocean
Swimming , sinking, surviving
Trying to stop from drowning
Issues, nightmares, happiness
Making it to the shore, breathless
Passion, love, devotion
Standing; surviving for another day.



Tuk-Tuk Ride in the Golden City

Bangkok was an interesting place to see
We walked to the mall in the golden city
Went inside, ate pizza and drank some tea
We didn’t look in the mall, it was a pity;
Hailed a few Tuk-Tuks; then there were three
Professor said not to use, but we were witty
Our Tuk-Tuk driver took off a little slow
After the traffic light, pedal was a go.

As we got louder, he went fast; then faster
We were racing the two; popping wheelies
Were waiting to get into a disaster
Laughing because it was extremely silly
Tuk-Tuk driver seemed to be the master
We were in this incredible Tuk-Tuk race
At the end, our Tuk-Tuk came in first place.



Dearth & Daggered

Tears flow down my cheeks
I love you, but not the way you want
Alone once, now, with you, I still seek
Thinking if it would work if I waited months
You look for someone to take care of you
I have expressed there are things I can’t do
Wishing I knew; still feeling so blue
Staggered by this; do you even have a clue?

Shadows haunted my fierce castle
Daggered with past notions
Thumped, beat up, and hassled
Still, my heart cries for dire devotion
Is it worth the armored fight?
With a wall protected by the reaping moat
Lightning, showers the sky with light
No boat to float across; I am the only goat.

Arrows and spears penetrate my soul
Making me stand my ground, without moving
Bridge, at the entrance, wants the highest toll
Nothing in this bitter cold, is warm and soothing
Kneeling down; still tears flow down my face
Could I charge the castle; make it in myself?
Will I have the right pace, no being chased?
And will my handyman be a little elf?

Will I get in with grace or die without a trace?
Crushing; demolishing one brick at a time
Will I be captured, being embraced or disgraced?
They will probably charge me with a crime
Chained to a log, standing in the courtyard
Bleeding my last drops upon the blessed earth
Battle wounds have left me beat up; scarred
Will I answer enough questions or be dearth?
