As I sit and watch this game
My thoughts drift out towards you
Wondering what you’re doing
Hoping you think of me too

Feelings well inside of me
Of words that I want to say
Of thoughts, things I want to do
Of being with you on this day

Strongly feel more than I’ve felt
In a very long, long time
To move, to dance with you tonight
Would truly be most kind

I hope you’re feeling better
I hope you’re up to this
I pray we get together
So you I do not miss

To Look Into Your Eyes

Were I to look into your eyes
Could you tell me what I’d see?
Are you thinking of someone
Or are you thinking of me?

Do you smile when you see me?
Your stomach feel a-flutter?
Do you feel a need inside
With every word that’s uttered?

Do you need someone to hold you?
Do you want someone to care?
Do you need someone to be there
When no one else will dare?

What do you want to do?
How will you let me know?
Whatever path we take
Only time will show

Someone So Like You

I long to hear your voice
I long to see your face
To look into your eyes
To feel my heart race

I thought I could not find
I felt that I was doomed
To live my life without
Someone so like you

To have such connection
With someone you don’t know
Is something very special
A friendship starts to grow

Where these feelings lead
Where this thing will go
I have no idea
Only time will show

My impatience is showing
I know it is, I feel it
It’s making me do those things
Those things that are not good

I’m pushing things, I feel it
Too much, too much, way too much
Because of that which I feel
Because of that which I want

I want to see you so much
Hold you, feel you and touch you
I want to look in your eyes
I want to see to your soul

Together to spend a night
To take a walk together
To have long talks together
To pursue these fine feelings

I feel it come like a storm
It washes all over me
I must let it go on by
To complete that that I want

I’ve never heard your voice
Nor looked into your eyes
Not felt your lips on mine
Nor even held you close

Only seen a picture
Not a face to face
I haven’t felt your touch
Nor cuddled next to you

To you I feel so close
Closer than I ought to
Brings feelings I should bury
Up until the time is right

I’d love to know you better
Better than I do
And spend each waking hour
Listening more to you

Where this path will take us
Is still not very sure
Hope that I can see you
To open up that door

Questions In My Mind

I have questions in my mind
That I do not dare to ask
Into which you might read more
Than I’m prepared to reveal

I mull these things in my mind
Looking for the words to say
Nothing seems to come out right
Meaning more than what it may

I want to let you deep inside
I’m afraid of what I’ll say
Need I be comfortable
To fully begin to share?

Can say anything with you
Of this one thing I am sure
But the thoughts inside my head
Make me question what I feel

How deep do you want to go?
How far you wish to travel?
The questions in my mind
From end to end unravel

I’d ask the questions here
This poem provides a forum
But We lose discovery
Making all too very clear

Second guessing is not good
To really let someone in
To open up is what I need
To finally quiet the din

When you’re around you intoxicate me
You take me to highs that I’ve never been
Erasing the lows I have deep within
You make me feel really much more alive

You have allowed me to be who I am
Even to places I have deep inside
I start to enjoy myself on this ride
Opening up new possibilities

No one truly knows where this path will lead
Taking steps into a whole new affair
Walking together along the whole length
May be the only way to find out where

Bated Breath

For you I wait with bated breath
Ever so very patiently
For conversations of such depth
That of the end we can not see

Our journey goes deep into night
The words sparking every turn
Of conversation that seems right
In our hearts, our mind, our souls

We feel so close yet never met
A connection hard to describe
A thought, a word, a lively bet
On feelings down deep inside

I wait for you this rainy night
Looking forward to the banter
I hope that we can not lose sight
Of chance that brought us together

Love

Love is like a thousand bells
Just tinkling a pretty tune
Knowing in your heart of hearts
You’ll be with your sweetheart soon

Emotions make your heart leap
Whenever you hear that voice
Fills your heart with endless joy
To know you have made that choice

A choice to share your whole life
A choice of one to hold dear
A choice to have one so close
To share all your hopes and fears

If ever found your life mate
To have, to love, and to hold
Your life’s story just begins
To have it’s journey unfold
