I Do Not Understand
I am not vain!
I am appalled you would think that.
Just because I have a mural of my self reflection,
Oiled painted on canvas in each of the 7 rooms
In my home.
I want you to feel my closeness.
And my doorbell has my voice welcoming you...
'Enter only if you look better than me! '
Is to warm you before you bask in my glow.
And duplicating the warmth of my smile.
When you sit on my toilet seats...
Isn't it comforting to know,
My humming eases you with my presence?
And every flush...
Shivers you to goosebumps.
I had them customed made.
In my favorite key...B-flat.
I am there for you.
Who do you know,
Provides that kind of hospitality?
Even when you pee...
I am there harmonizing with a melody.
And singing with myself in duet,
Is not an easy accomplishment.
I am here...
All over my domain,
Just for you.
And yes...
Those are my hands,
I had enlarged and woven into the carpet.
To hold you and caress.
Every second you are here.
Even under your footsteps,
I am here to hold you.
I do not understand...
Why you have chosen to leave so soon!
It seems as though you had just arrived.
Here...
Take this 8 by 10 glossy!
I have signed it for you as a reminder...
I am not too far away!
Always I will be there...
Gazing into your eyes.
And wanting you to know...
I am at your fingertips.
WHO can give you love like this?

Don't Leave Home
Like a ghost dont need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
And If you're lost just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, like a child
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I need
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
And If you're lost just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
And If you're lost just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
Cause I will be your safety
I will be your safety
I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

When I Need You
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands
And I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space
In between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away
It's not easy when
The road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bare
But you know I won't be
Traveling a life time
It's cold out but hold out
And do like I do
Oh I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands
And I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hands
And I'm with you
And all that I want to give you
It's only a heart beat away

Singing In Duet
Available but feeling like a soloist,
To go it alone.
With a duet gone.
Wanting to believe there is a harmony,
And hearing a hum.
From a duet done.
I wont give up wishing to be holding hands,
With that special one...
Who comes,
To hum and sings...
With me,
'We are together and forever.'
Singing in duet.
And happily as can be.
Available but feeling like a soloist,
To go it alone.
With a duet gone.
Wanting to believe there is a harmony,
And hearing a hum.
From a duet done.
I wont give up wishing to be holding hands,
With that special one...
Who comes,
To hum and sings...
With me,
'We are together and forever.'
Singing in duet,
And happily as can be.
'Together and forever,
Together.'
Singing in duet,
And happily as can be.
'Together and forever,
Together.'
Singing in duet.
And happily as can be.

Hold On
Youre sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby
Hold on--i feel Im getting ready
Hold on--i feel Im rockin steady
Hold on--Im gonna make it with you woman
Hold on--you got to gimme some love, gimme some love
I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps comin on strong
Although its mine now
I know it wont be for long
Theres something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
Im getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign
Hold on--Ive got to love you when I want to
Hold on--youve got to love me when I want you to
Hold on--i aint gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on--no never no more
I know the game youre playing
And I guess you think Im easily led
You think the words youre saying
Are really going through my head
Im gonna take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you, baby
That really Im a man
Hold on--i know Im feeling ready
Hold on--i know Im rockin steady
Hold on--guess Ive made it with you woman
Hold on--Ive got you giving me love
Something that you give me
Keeps me hangin on
No use me stayin
Theres nothing to be done
Im gonna take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you woman
That really Im a man
Hold on--i only want to take you higher
Hold on--you are the root of my desire
Hold on--cmon baby light my fire
Hold on

Could You Hold Me
Could you hold me for a little while, in your arms tonight
Make me feel warm and secure, hug me real tight
The warmth has left our home in past years gone by
If you could just hold me a little bit, I promise not to cry
I know the closeness and passion has blown out with the wind
But if you could just hold me a little, my broken heart might mend
I miss you holding my hand, when we walk down the street
If you could hold me a little while, my heart could skip a beat
With this band I promised you, my life until the end
Could you hold me just a little bit, your arms could you send
I'm very cold and lonely now, your touch could make me soar
Would you hold me just a little, would this be too great a chore! !

You Would Love You Too
If you could see what i see
when im looking up at you
then you would loose your breath
the exact same way I do
if you could understand
your own humor and charm
and the special way i feel
when im wrapped up in your arms
if you could feel what I feel
when im standing at your side
you, too, would cry tears of joy
because life has been so kind
if you could hold your hand
or see your winning smile
or understand why your number
is my favorite one to dial
if you could feel what i feel
whenever im with you
then there's no doubt in my mind
that you would love you too

Just As I Am
Ive had a lot of big dreams
Ive made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do
Ive met a lot of cold hearts
Ive learned to smile and deceive
I know Im hard to be around
But you never leave
Im not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am
Ive made a lot of heartaches
Ive found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more
You love me more
Im not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am
I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

The Love
to kiss your lips-to touch your hair
to always feel your presence near
to see the smile upon your face
to hold you in a warm embrace
to sense the presence of your love
to feel you within me-giving me a start
and putting a glow in my heart.
to feel your breath upon my face
never leaving a sign or trace
of the feelings bottled up inside
and let it go before its time
this is what love should be
touching each other in perfect harmony.

Wanting
She can't help it
The wanting of him
A simple glimpse
Across a crowd
She hides her smile
As her imagination
Goes
Into
Overdrive
Goosebumps rise
Along her flesh
Somewhere deep
A quickening begins
Her heartbeat accelerates
Her blood warms and
Begins to pulsate
As she
Holds on
Always
Yearning
Wondering
If he kissed her
Would she moan
As his mouth consumed her
Enslaved her
As his hands touched her
Caressed her flesh
His nearness makes it difficult to breathe
All of her wishes
To melt into him
Reach out and
Touch
A glimpse of her
Across a room
Leaves
Him
Wanting
Wanting to
Reach out and touch
To hold her face in his hands
Brush the tip of his thumb
Across her soft lips
Caress her skin
Let his hand travel
Travel
Across her throat
Feel her pulse
As it glides
To the back of her head
Grab a fist full of raven hair
Tilt her head back
Look into her languid eyes
Her parted lips
And trace kisses along her flesh
As she forgets
How to breathe
Their wanting of each other
Is hidden well
In the ease and flow
Of a crowded room
Maybe neither knowing
Neither certain
Both aware of the other
Both
Wanting.

The Light Of The Moon (Belongs To Me)
Written by Steve Byrd, Ricki & Kim Wilde
(Light of the moon...)
You can't touch it
It won't let you near
You can't hold it
Cos it will disappear
You can't keep it
It don't belong to you
And when you need it
There's nothing you can do
Love has the final word
You're a fool if you can't see
But I know that the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of the sun
Caress of the breeze
Not the sound of the wind
As it blows through the trees
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of your smile
Caress of your hand
Not the love that you give me
Again and again
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
So many people forget it
Set love free
Love is a river
Love is a raging sea
Don't try to tame it
Or you will watch it die
Don't try to chain it
You've got to let it fly
Love has the final word
You're a fool if you can't see
But I know that the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of the sun
Caress of the breeze
Not the sound of the wind
As it blows through the trees
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of your smile
Caress of your hand
Not the love that you give me
Again and again
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Ooh you say I live in a dream
That I live in a make-beleive
But I know that the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of the sun
Caress of your hand
Not the love that you give me
Again and again
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me

Ghost Of Love
I miss the naked warmth
Of your candlelit face.
And your smile
Through distant memory, I trace.
Your voice echoes
Around the catacomb
Of where love's promise lies.
I feel your fingers through my hair.
And touching my cheek, your eyes.
Now in despair
I hold a tear stained letter.
Your lips kiss my pain better.
And then my heart
Beats a big bass drum.
Your words of promise still keep me awake.
As dawn wears its perfume.
That moonlight ache
Eases, teases
As my soul waits to break.
Yet from the canyons of our lost hope
You throw my bleeding fingers a rope
To cling on.
What once shone
Lies in the scrapyard of broken hearts.
Something beautiful departs,
When time gives that shove.
Let's hold hands and contact
That ghost of love.

Will You Hold Me Close?
Will you hold me close to you tonight
and take my fear away?
For in my mind I know that this
closeness just won't stay.
But if you hold me close tonight
then I can always remember
how you made me feel so good
in the dark of night.
And even though I know my world
will never be the same,
I made the choice to love you
so I will share the blame.
And so this night, this final night
when you hold me close to you
will give me memories that will have to last
for my whole life through.
In the morning when you leave
I'll close my eyes in bed.
I'll think of how you held me
and all the words we've said.
Those words I must remember
so they'll stay inside of me.
For nothing else will soothe my heart
as far as I can see.

Toilet Seats
While I am emulating Keats
My brother fabrics toilet seats,
The which, they say, are works of art,
Aesthetic features of the mart;
So exquisitely are they made
With plastic of a pastel shade,
Of topaz, ivory or rose,
Inviting to serene repose.
Rajahs I'm told have seats of gold,--
(They must, I fear, be very cold).
But Tom's have thermostatic heat,
With sympathy your grace to greet.
Like silver they are neon lit,
Making a halo as you sit:
Then lo! they play with dulset tone
A melody by Mendelssohn.
Oh were I lyrical as Yeats
I would not sing of toilet seats,
But rather serenade a star,--
Yet I must take things as they are.
For even kings must coyly own
Them as essential as a throne:
So as I tug the Muse's teats
I envy Tom his toilet seats.

God Made Your Lips
God made your lips for me to kiss. Your hands for me to hold.
God made your smile for me to miss and treasure more than gold.
God made your ears so I could tell how beautiful you are.
God made your eyes to cast a spell, no matter, near or far.
God made your arms to hold me tight each time before I leave.
God made your legs to stir delight like Adam saw in Eve.
God made your doubts to fade away, for years have come and gone.
God made your joys thank Him each day our love goes on and on.
God made your heart a lot like mine - hold fast to what God says.
God made you my sweet Valentine, you're always in my prayers.
God made your mind, your memories, your dreams and all you're worth.
God made you precious so you'd please the luckiest man on Earth!
God made your blessings one by one and when I look at you,
I wonder what great thing I've done that you should love me, too.

When Will You Come Back Home?
There's something in the way she eases my mind
And lays me across the bed till I close my eyes
Stirs me in the morning till I can ever be satisfied
I leave Carolina every night in my dreams
Like the girls that try to love me that I only leave
Rock me like a baby doll and hold me to your chest
But I'm always moving too fast
If I could find my way back home, where would I go?
When everything about me, I used to be,
Shivers in the sheets and the blankets of snow
Lost out in the woods were you're looking for me
When, when will you come back home
No one leave the lights on in a house
Where nobody lives anymore
Loaded like the boxes up in the bedroom
Coming off the hinges like the door
The shadows dancing up in the window
They're not who we are but who we were
And I'm not gonna break, but if I do
I'm gonna shatter like the glass I turned your heart into
I'm broken like the windos in the house where I used to live
And If I could find my way back home, where would I go?
When everything about me, I used to be,
Shivers in the sheets and the blankets of snow
I'm lost out in the woods looking for you
When, when will you come back home
No one leave the lights on in a house
Where nobody lives anymore
Everything about me you liked is already gone
Everything about me you loved is gone
When, when will you come back home

What I Wouldn't Give
What I wouldn't give
To dance by the light of the moon
To revel in the soft glow of dawn
And to watch sunset with you
What I wouldn't give
To watch your pupils dilate with longing
Your eyes narrow with love
Your smile full of laughter
What I wouldn't give
For just one day with you
Without another's judgement
With nobody else watching
What I wouldn't give
For a night alone with you
To please you, and hold you
With love in my heart
What I wouldn't give
To kindle your desire
To be needed as desperately as
I need for you
What I wouldn't give
To be held in your arms
To feel your soft lips on mine
To feel your caress on my cheek
What I wouldn't give
For your need to be mirrored by my own
For your love to shine through your eyes
And for you to be mine unconditionally
What I wouldn't give…
