Together

I want to dance together

Whirling, twirling, stumbling

With breathy laughter and 

bodies held closely

I want to sing together

Boldly, quietly, tenderly

With rough harmony and 

strong choruses

I want to laugh together

Hearty, boisterous, strong

With quiet giggles and 

 from-the-gut guffaws

I want to cry together

Sobbing, sniffling, comforting

With fingers tender and

gently wiping tears

I want to live together

Better, worse, everything

With understanding and

unconditional love

Dancing in the Moonlight

She's spinning between constellations
It's in the graceful way she moves

The stars are caught in her eyes

He's waltzing between the galaxies
It's in the steady way he moves
The stars are caught in his eyes

They are dancing together through life
It's in the fluid way they move
The stars are caught in their eyes

Just Tell Me

Kiss me gently, my dear, near the old oak tree

Where the branches entwine and sunlight shines through

Speak the words, make it true, my dear, just tell me

Just tell me you love me, by the quiet sea

In a meadow, where wild flowers grow as if strewn

Kiss me gently, my dear, near the old oak tree

Hands gently intertwined, hear my heartfelt plea

Please stay by my side, where we'll enjoy the view

Speak the words, make it true, my dear, just tell me

Guard my heart, my love, for you hold the key

Come what may, dear heart, you're the one I look to

Kiss me gently, my dear, near the old oak tree

Admit your love and let the words set me free

Be kind to my heart, this is all fresh and new

Speak the words, make it true, my dear, just tell me

Hold me tenderly, oh so tight, so all can see

Press me close to you under the sky so blue

Kiss me gently, my dear, near the old oak tree

Speak the words, make it true, my dear, just tell me

Sweetheart I'd let you

Sweetheart, I'd let you

Use those names I abhor

Like darling and sweetie

Your love warms to my core

Sweetheart, I'd let you

Spend your money on flowers

From you they'd be welcome

You'll not see me glower

Sweetheart, I'd let you

Pull out chairs, open doors

For I know in my heart

My strength you adore

Sweetheart, I'd let you

Use a get out of jail free

For forgetting a birthday

But not for an anniversary

Sweetheart, I'd let you

Love me unconditionally

And from me in return

My love unequivocally  

At One Touch

Fingers trail

Fire lingers

Pooling deep

Baser instincts

Lingering kiss

Hands clutch

Breath quickens

Fingers dance

Desire flames

World slips

Silence deafens

Lost in you

Love is...

Love is patient

in the good and the bad

when times are hard

and tempers flare

Love is kind

with words and actions

when disagreements arise

and darkness falls

Love is not jealous

when old flames are met

when new friends are made

and when work runs late

Love does not brag

rejoicing in others success

the collaboration encompassing 

the hard work of all

Love is not arrogant

choosing instead

to allow the other the joy

of discovering talent

Love is not rude

catching harmful jokes

and showering others

with kindness instead

Love is not selfish

sharing in blessings

in both richness

and in health
