If You Love Somebody
if you love somebody
you will surely miss that
somebody, no matter how you keep
that somebody inside your mind
unable to say a name
or draw a face or remember a scent
no matter how you bury that
somebody, that somebody always comes
alive in your memory that
somebody always comes face to face with
you
a smile of that
somebody a touch of that
somebody
in your dream that
somebody comes and reminds you
of a love that is true
of a kiss that is real
of the night when you made love without uttering any name
just symbols
of a rose
a dew
and some thorns about that somebody
who loves you
and that somebody
whom you also truly love
now in the symbol of a thorn
a heartache
always a forgetting and a memory that refuses to leave
a remembering
just symbols now
a wind a dark night a hush a flitting thought

Sensory Mind Foam
etched into my memory
like fossils burned in stone
your face, your smile oh so promisory
your love, not real, illusory
and yet still i moan
inside at the mere thought of touch and kiss
sensory mind foam
this yes i do still miss
churning up through memory's door
the way we osculated
light and playfully
or so passionately
we did articulate
without words to thus restrain
those feelings deep within our mind
not spoken in frame
just continuance, a cruel head game

Love To Remember
Your love's as fresh in my memory as this morning's sunrise
And still just as beautiful to me
I can still feel the soft touch of love sweet and tender
You give me love to remember
Nights with no ending, filled with love I'm remembering
Each night that I spend with you
I can still feel your soft touch, I can still feel your warm love
You give me love to remember
And each morning when I wake up
Before I leave my pillow. I search through my dreams carefully
Just to make sure that I don't leave one tiny memory
'Cause I dream of the love I remember
Nights with no ending, filled with love I'm remembering
Each night that I spend with you
I can still feel your warm love, I can still feel your soft touch
You give me love to remember
Love to remember

This love I feel is a memory
But this memory of love is loved
For it’s a truly lovely memory
Of us two, who have loved
But our love is only a memory
and memories are soon forgotten
But the love I hold for you
Will never spoil, nor rotten
It’s not the love that you remember
For that love is a memory true
The love I hold is that of a loved one
Yes, I’d say that would do
For our love is ever evolving
Be it dead and in the past
The love I have for you now
Not even time could out last
Call it the love of the first
Or the first love for sake
No matter the distance, no matter the time
A simple call you can always make
For this love I’ll always remember
Until my dieing day
The brotherly love I hold for you now
I wouldn’t have it any other way

The Drawing
IN drawing my face
you rely on the lines
given by my words
in poetic motion &
on the night when
you are alone you
recall a face of
someone you love
you utter my name
and then i hover
like a dream
what am i like?
am i just a kiss that
gives the drafts of
the light wind
on such a dark night
like this when what
you see is nothing
but a thought of me
close your eyes and
open your heart
and let your hands
fall freely
i become real only
if you still remember

Miss Your Kiss
Well I miss you yeah, but I dont really miss your touch
Not too much
Send your love express, but I dont need it all that much
Not too much
You know its true, you know its true
I dont miss your fascinating conversation
And theres more room in the bed now that youre gone
Dont tell me I miss your smile, you know me baby
This is the real deal and you know just what Ive missed
You get my gist, the thing is this
Baby I miss your kiss (not joking)
The truth is this (you just cant miss)
I dont want to be fooling around (miss your kiss)
Baby I miss your kiss (trust me on this)
If I had my wish couldnt ask for more
Miss your kiss
Now when I get home if you still want to talk all night
Thats alright
And I want it known if you just want to turn out the light
I wont fight
Ill make love to you, make love to you... if you want to
You know baby anything goes
And Ill even get you breakfast in your bed
As long as I get my fix
You know it baby, Im missing the real thing
And you know just what that is
If I resist just slap my wrist
Baby I miss your kiss (not joking)
The truth is this (you just cant miss)
I dont want to be fooling around (miss your kiss)
Baby I miss your kiss (trust me on this)
If I had my wish couldnt ask for more
Miss your kiss
I know what I want, and what I dont have
What I wont give for your kiss
Nothing better, nothing better
If you hear me say yeah yeah
Thats the way I want it face to face

Symbolic
I love symbols,
As much as the nations.
The lords of travel complain
Of the symbols on the highways,
But I do not.
I am alone with the night and city,
While the forgetting is done.
Symbols of criminals light up,
Fully transported, of the love.
Feet are sore as they travel
On the journey that some forgive,
Some forget.

My Last words
My love,
When I leave this world,
Be happy, be glad;
Don’t weep, don’t grief.
My love,
When I live for eternity,
Just remember me,
On your mind, and
I remain in your heart.
My love,
When I say last words,
Listen carefully,
I always Love you.
My love,
When I am alive again,
You never see me again,
Because I had gone forever.
My love,
When you sleep and awaken,
Remember I’ll be
In your dream, and
In sweet memory.
My love,
When I left you,
Don’t be sad and sorrowful;
I’ll remember you, and
Always miss you so much.
My Last words,
Pray to God for me always,
May my soul rest in peace;
And Eternity.
I Live in your memory.

Eraser
I want the memory erased
Of all that we used to be
I dont ever want to remember
That saddend side of me.
I never would have wanted to forget
All the love that we shared,
All the memories that we made,
All the times that we cared...
But the memory I remember most
Is the one where you leave
Turning your back on me, and on us
It's the only memory I can see
I can remember all the way back
To when our love amounted to so much
No matter how much I loved you...
It never seemed to be enough.
No time to reconsider
Giving me another second chance
No faith in our love and compassion
No hope for our romance.
You made your choice
And let all we had go.
That's why I want to erase your memory...
And forget all that I know.

Cant Get To Sleep At Night
Cant get to sleep at night
Cant get sleep tonight, no matter how I try
Cant get you off of my mind, cant get to sleep tonight
Spoke to you today, called on the telephone
You sounded very far away
Baby I love you, I still love you
Cant get to sleep tonight, no matter what I do
Just cant get you off of my mind, stuck on you,
Stuck like glue
We both live separately, Ive found somebody new
And hes real, real good to me, but baby, I love you
I still love you
Cant get to sleep at night
Dont want to believe that its over
I keep telling myself one more time
So I lie awake with a heartache
Youre always on my mind
Haunting my memory
Think about you all the time
Cant get to sleep tonight, no matter how I try
Just cant get you off of my mind, stuck to you
Spoke to you today, called you on the telephone
You sounded very far away
But I love you, I still love
Cant get to sleep tonight, no matter what I do, what I do
Just cant get you off of my mind
Cant get to sleep tonight, no matter how I try
Just cant get you off of my mind...
Cant get to sleep tonight, just cant get you off of my mind

Song: Memory Lake
Memory lake
Remember when we carved our names on the rail,
Back in our younger days.
Remember when we’d stay out late and talk,
until the sun found it’s resting place.
And we’d sit and watch the planes fly high and the birds fly low,
As we talk about our day.
Remember when we promised each other,
Some day we’d leave this place.
But I never knew,
Your wish would come true,
And you’d leave me alone,
But just so you know.
I’ll be picking the flowers and laying them on the water,
And watching them float away.
I’ll be picking up the stones and skipping them trying to,
break that record you made.
And I’ll be watching the sun as it sets,
Remembering never to forget,
Your face,
And the memory’s we made.
By the dock was our place.
Remember when our smiles shined and we crossed the line,
Every step that we’d take.
And remember when we’d laugh our troubles away,
Then make double just for laughter’s sake.
And we’d find a way to argue but in the end I knew,
That nothing could make us break.
We had our tears and had our trial, dealt with pain by open smiles,
Right there on memory lake.
But I never knew,
That your wish would come true,
And you’d leave me here all alone.
And who would have thought,
That a broken heart would be,
The closest I’d ever get, to snow.
I’ll be picking the flowers and laying them on the water,
And watching them float away.
I’ll be picking up the stones and skipping them trying to,
break that record you made.
And I’ll be watching the sun as it sets,
Remembering never to forget,
Your face,
And the memory’s we made.
On memory lake, oh,
Memory lake.
Don’t take it away, don’t take it away,
Don’t take away, memory lake, our lake.
I’ll be picking the flowers and laying them on the water,
And watching them float away.
I’ll be picking up the stones and skipping them trying to,
break that record you made.
And I’ll be watching the sun as it sets,
Remembering never to forget,
Your face,
And the memory’s we made.
On memory lake.

The Rose
In my hand I held the rose
As I would a woman dear,
Within my fingers I held it tight
As I wished it would not disappear.
From the touch, sight and beauty that I knew,
When the kiss of beauty, once had blew.
I held the rose as I would a love
As I had held in memory and thought,
And then the rose I could not let go
For the same as a lover, she became my soul.
The stem became the body and the petals became the skin,
Then I held her lightly, within the wind.
The rose held me, as I had held her
The two of us had become one
Then the act of God had prevailed that day
For he commanded the wind to take the rose away.
And towards the heavens She had flew,
As though to join the love that I once had knew.
In my hand there laid a thorn
Though to remind me of the sting of death,
So upon the Earth, I then laid the thorn
So love of life could again be reborn.
I buried the thorn as you would a dream,
Knowing never again, will it be seen.

Pondering upon the Rose on a Sunday Morning......
The symbol of love
When giving in love a rose speaks for itself
The beauty is picturesque
The scent it gives lasting for ever
The rose never seen without her thorns
Still who can not feel happiness when a rose is seen or given?
Even for a brief minute, a second the rose brings a smile
Or perhaps a small sigh of delight
If one were to think upon a rose…
The thorns… the beauty…
The petals that carry the essence…
That lingers even after it is withered
If one were compare to our Lord…
He held thorns upon his precious head; the head of the rose is above the thorns
His love was known for its beauty and compassion, the rose noted for love
His words and Spirit lingers for eternity much like the scent of the rose
My Lord created the Rose
Perhaps he created it for remembrance of His son
Looking upon the rose I see it all so clearly
The meaning of love
The beauty
An essence that shall always be with me

Old Fashioned Lover
it is said that 'feelings should be seen'.
that is every womans dream.
to prevent the hurt and ease the pain
because no two loves are ever the same.
what good would it be, if every feeling you could see.
you could never have a surprise 'of that there is no lie'.
' i'll take the good old fashion love'.
so in my way, i could show exactly what i feel
and that my love is real.
a poem written or taken from a book.
it gives your love a brand new look.
a bouquet of flowers to compliment the hour.
even a small rose that tickles the nose.
all these little things a true lover brings.
a thought of a memory past
that in her heart, you know did last.
a joke, a smile, a tender kiss
something that you know she will miss.
the caressing of her face, your fingers
running through her hair, just to show how much you care.
all these things i would do, just to show
how much i love you.
i want to walk down the street
holding hands and looking at you.
and that you could do, the same thing too.
if you was able to see everyones
thoughts and dislikes, you would always be in a fight.
i prefer to be the old fashion lover
throughout our history, there has been no other.
as a woman, you want to feel his sensations
his fixations and his desires.
so that you could put out that fire.
love is not like a t.v. dinner that you
pop into the oven for it to get hot.
love is like boiling water in a pot
and you as the cook, know when to stop.

A Poem Like A Touch
The movement of your life
Was stuck in its death corner
''I love you', your eyes whispered.
You gave me your last thought
And all your seconds
Is this love or not?
I saw that the eternity had a painful face.
Now, I look in the mirror
And I can't remember
If it was the eternity's face or it was mine
In stopping any communication
Between us.
I'm still in your death corner
And in the memory of you
I still keep all your thoughts
Not to dissapear.
Those thoughts becoming suddenly so static.
The seconds of your missing
Are killing me so slowly.
This static love
Is digging deep dips
In your absence
To kill me so slowly
I kiss your memory.
I still feel our entwining
As I feel an extension of a missing arm.
Is this love or not?
Maybe it's only poetry
Instead of any touch,
A poem like a touch...
I kiss your soul with my poems.

Isn't It Romantic
(feat. Dave Koz)
I've never met you, yet never doubt you
I can't forget you
I've thought you out, dear
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss
Just the thing I miss
On a night like this
If dreams are made of imagination
I'm not afraid of my own creation
With all my heart my heart is here for you to take
Why should I quake
I'm not awake
Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
[Instrumental]
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?

Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?

Isn't it romance?
Isn't it romance?

My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own
(howard greenfield, jack keller)
I told this heart of mine
Our love would never be
But then I hear a voice
And something stirs inside of me
Somehow I cant resist
The memory of your kiss
I guess my heart has a mind of its own
No matter what I do
No matter what I say
No matter how I try
I just cant turn the other way
When Im with someone new
I always think of you
I guess my heart has a mind of its own
Youre not in love with me
So why cant I forget
Im just your used to be
Its wrong and yet
I know forgetting you
Would be a hopeless thing
For Im a puppet
And I just cant seem to break the strings
I say Ill let you go
But then my heart says no
I guess my heart has a mind of its own
I guess my heart has a mind of its own

Drops Of Fire
As she sits in so much pain
My one true love is hurt again
Unable to help her in anyway
As drops of fire burn her precious face
As my one true love hurts ever so much
I die inside as all I can do is watch
All I can do is know in loving pain
That drops of fire burn her beautiful face
How horrible it is to know her pain
Having to watch her suffer as I sit here in shame
Ss my poor true love endures this again
These drops of fire burned her adorable face
Knowing that my true love is in so much pain
I am ever so greatly tempted to jump up and run to her aid
But I know I cannot do that for my legs are lame
But my heart and mind are with her forever made
Even though the drops of fire burn her irresistible face
When I see my true love in just a few hours
I will do my best to dry these showers
And take away all of her burning pain
As these horrid drops of fire burn her magnificent face
I know not what to do, what to say
As my love is in that state of pain
Yet I know I will use all my power, all my face
All my love and all my space
To make my true love happy again
As those dreaded drops fire burned her perfect face
