I wish that I was there
I wish that I could see
All the things you’re doing
To this marriage and me
The things we should be doing
We’re never going to do
Unless you find your path
And bring you back to you

I wish I could erase the pain
The heartache I have brought
The lack of trust you have in me
The anger I have wrought
I want to say I’m sorry
I know it feels so trite
I need to find a balance
With which to make it right
I regret the feelings that you have
Inadequate are not you
Inadequate though I may be
Remove this thought I must do
Late at night these come to me
Latent thoughts I can’t see
Whirling feverishly
Oh my, how can this be?
Buzzing quick through my head
As I lay upon my bed
Underneath my clean sheets
My heart does softly beat
Thoughts of me, thoughts of you
Oh when will this chain be through?
If I sleep ‘fore I wake
Will I decisions make?

Too wired to sleep
Too tired to dream
The thoughts inside
They make me scream
Flashes of insight
Fleeting at best
Rush through my head
Giving no rest
Fire is falling from the sky
As you lay upon your back
I look at your smiling face
The fireworks above us crack
Leaning over to give a kiss
Feel your sultry and full lips
You kiss me back hard and full
I move a hand along your hips
In heated times, we’re caught up
We find passion in our lust
In that moment we do see
A flickering spark of trust

I keep hitting walls
Set up in your mind
Stubbornness to the will
Of One who’s loving kind
I wish that you could see
The joy our life could bring
Testimony of our love
Like sunshine in the spring
The walls that you have built
Are strong enough to stand
The storms and the trials
Brought around by any man
If your walls don’t come down
And you aren’t able to see
You’ll not experience love
Like the kind you had with me

I sit before my desk
Nothing do
Thinking of you
Thinking of you
I long for your touch
Your tender caress
I long to feel you
My sweetest Tess
The time we spend together
The long times we are apart
Oh, will our love this weather
With this wholly brand new start
We sit apart from each other
In entirely different states
I a father, you a mother
For now that must be our fates
Soon the time will come to pass
Our time together will be
And when that time will come at last
Together there, you and me

If I had a penny
For all my thoughts of you
I’d be a rich man
In a day or two
Your smile gives me warmth
Your touch makes me glad
I want you happy
No, not ever mad
Want to kiss your lips
Want to see you smile
Want to hug you close
If only for awhile
Verses I write you
In styles you adore
Gladness in your heart
Shows my love much more
Now to end my rhyme
On a note of love
I truly love you
My beautiful, lovely dove

I walk along the beach
My path a random road
My mind for you does reach
To lessen my weary load
I see you in the distance
A speck at the edge of sight
I move against my resistance
For the promise of tonight
We finally come together
A nice reunion we seek
A night of recreation
A night of being together
A night to reach our peak
From our love’s suggestion
