Here is what I really know
Here is what I really see
I want you
In
My
Life
Won’t you spend your life with me
I want you everyday
I want you every night
I want you
In
My
Life
Won’t you spend your life with me
Every day
Every night
I want to feel the warmth
I want to feel the closeness
I want to feel the love that feels so right
Won’t you spend your life with me

Intellectual
Sensual
Just like a photograph
Reasonable
Seasonable
Just take the time to laugh
Take a walk down any street
Take a look with more than your feet
What do you notice?
What comes to mind?
Are you seeing problems?
Or are you seeing things just fine?
Compassion
Attraction
More than there ever was
Satisfaction
Distraction
What draws you to your life?

There is a fire that’s raising
My temperature tonight
Breathing becomes restricted
I’m dancing in the light
There you are
Glorious and amazing
Life has come full circle
My world has been set ablaze
There is you
And there is me
Living the life we need
There is you
There is me
Spectacular indeed
Our life has special magic
When you enter a room
It flushes all my senses
Loving thoughts begin to bloom
You say a word
My heart beats much faster
It is so much
More than I can master
I’m living on
Sensory overload
Does it get better than this
Love in the making
Love living on forever
Loving you simply gets
Better and better

Open the door
And let them in
Hang up the coats
Let the fun begin
Snacks on the table
Beer’s in the fridge
Turn up the music
Let’s cross that bridge
Spin the bottle
To your best tunes
Create a dance floor
Begin to croon
Let the music
Last all night
Laugh, sing and dance
Create delight
You’re in for the time of your life

There is you
There is me
My knees are shaking
Like leaves on a tree
Is this love I see?
There is heat
There is passion
If I were anyone else
I would be cashing in
Is this love I see?
Open door
Closed mind
Competing thoughts
Cross the line
Working words
Blinding me
Filling darkness
What do I need?
There is warmth
There is caring
In our lives
It is rather daring
Is this love I see?

Slowly you turn and ask
“Who are you?”
I hide my concern
As I answer
I am your son
Slowly it has been happening
Over the course of many years
Early on it evolved
Moved through the stages of tears
Moved into territory
Heartbreaking
And so sad to see
I want to show you so much
How much you mean to me

Three Thoughts
Hope, dream, live
To realize life’s simple truths
Create, develop, give
Rise above expected views
Thought, spirit, reality
Live a life of truth
Activation, intensity, and persistence.
A task for exacting proof
Three elements
Earth, water, fire
Basic elements of how you live
Plot, setting, character
Become clearer when you give
Diction. imagery. Metaphor.
Defines what you do
Contemplative, advocacy, hedonism
To make a stronger you
Three wishes
Have peace, end poverty, create equality
End suffering, accept difference, enjoy all
Have, give, meet, be
Create opportunities, have positive thoughts, live love
Dignity, voice, compassion
Do all sufficiently

Weathered weasels writhing
With nightly newscast nuances
Gamely gathering gotchas
Unfactual, unproven, understandings
Corrosive complainants calling
Selfishly serving simpletons
Saying
To believe them
Because they said so.
Live their work
Or work their lives
Beg borrow or steal
In disguise
Messy
Structured
Living with
And above their lies
Wrinkled men in stainless ties
I hear you talk about the things you say and do
I know you want to believe them to be true
My world isn’t big enough to believe in you
There were so many stories that you liked to tell
Sometimes it is better to leave trees where they fell
My world isn’t big enough to believe in you
You keep talking about things both right and wrong
Makes me wonder why we can’t get along

In the forest deep
Where the winds go to die
The moments that they keep
Absorb a silent cry
As animals sit
Witness to such sorrow
The wind stirs for a bit
Leading us to tomorrow
Memories are left
Washed away by the rain
Will you return your depth
Will you ever be the same
Questions asked
Answers gained
Return to task
Remain maintained

You begin a love affair
But are taken for a ride
Lost in love
You decide to let it slide
A revolving door
It’s not on the agenda
Not on the agenda
With words galore
An ancient voice
Lost in love
That’s heard no more
Fills you with pride
It’s not on the agenda
Not on the agenda
You keep losing track of time
Wondering if it’s eight or nine
Lost in love
But it’s not on your mind
You keep wanting more
It’s not on the agenda
Not on the agenda
