LIVING IN THE MOMENT

LIVING IN THE MOMENT
All I want to do is live for these moments
Never wanting to be away from you
When all I want is a friend and not a lover
Under the covers
I just need time to recover
Recover, recover
From all the pain and hurt
Not wearing your shirt
All I need is just a friend
To the bitter end
A friend who’d understand
A side of me that’ll be known
A friend that’ll never be outgrown
A lover is not what I need right now!
Oh for crying out loud!
Why won’t they listen?
They can keep the moonlight
The stars shining so bright
The kisses
The missives
The messages
Just won’t change my mind
The creeping, crawling
Trawling for their lover
The thrill has gone
Gone, gone!
You just wanted to see what you wanted
Not what is for real!
So tell me why you are so afraid
Afraid of that heavenly touch
Touches so surreal
But you didn’t want real!
You just needed a lover
Under your covers
But I’ll find a way to heal
But not at your heels
Just tell me why you are so, so afraid?
Yet you’ll always swim for the safe
Shoreline
A shoreline so safe and secure
I thought I would hold that dream
But you changed it to your tune
Not to our tune!
Now is the time to heal
Heal, heal
It would help me to know?
Was I the best you have ever known?
Oh this crazy battlefield
A war zone
With neither in the same tone

I'M A WOMAN

I’M A WOMAN!
A woman that needs to be touched
A woman that needs to be loved so much
This woman needs to be needed
This woman needs YOU to feel this heart beating
Beating for YOU
Pulsating, thudding, thumping
This heart is crying out for YOU
My hands feel tied!
I want, need you to need me!
Is this going to take a miracle?
I’m a woman with a heart
I don’t want to be just your woman!
I want to hear what you feel
Need to know how you feel
Are we for real?
My heart has never had a hero!
It has always been a zero
I keep trying to hide how I feel
I keep saying “it is too soon”
I’m a woman who deserves your all
I’m a woman who knows what she wants
I’m a woman who knows what she needs
There is no other woman like me!
There is no other woman who feels like me!
So much desiring you, yet adoring you all the more
I love your touching me
Those tingles, those shudders all down my spine
Divine!
That drives me wild for more and more
Leaving me feeling sensual, sexual
Oh what a pair!
And we stare and stare!
Knowing we are both
TOTAL
Hopeless romantics
Without a care

HOW CAN I PRETEND

HOW CAN I PRETEND
That these feelings are not real?
This closeness, this desire
Right here before my eyes
Looking into your eyes
The answers are all there
A burning fire, burning so hot
Raging passions
Heightened by your touch
Oh such bodies rush so lush
Gently seeking, gently caressing
Gently engulfing to be engulfed
Consume to be consumed
Wrapped up in those arms of yours
Wanting more and more of this body
Softly whispering
I want you, need you
Still looking into each other’s eyes
Deep, deep, deep oh so deep
Flesh on flesh
Oh the body heat

IT WAS JUST A FIREY PASSION

IT WAS JUST A FIREY PASSION
Nothing more
And
Nothing less
Just two friends
Meeting at weekends
A lovers tryst
Some may call
A tete-a-tete
But was it just two lovers
That should not be?
Trying to capture some semblance
Of being happy
Their bored, sad existences
Their bored sad partners
But when they are together
The world does not exist
It’s their lovers tryst
Swimming in the same oceans
Swimming in the same potions
Devouring
Consuming
Each other’s overwhelming urges
Consuming each other’s passions
A passion so fiery and mighty
Hunger for each other
A hunger that needs to last
A hunger that they both grasp
Gasp!
Leaving each other breathless
Their bodies entwined
In a sea of ecstasy
The rippling waves
Rippling through each other’s bodies
Heightened
Heightening
Orgasmic orgasms
They are together
Together as one
Two hearts beating as one
Two hearts racing
Two bodies racing
Two bodies as one
Two bodies caressing together sweetly
In a rhythmic flow
Clutching each other
Not wanting to let go
Their bodies sweat
Tasting each other’s sweetness
She’s pulling him closer
Wanting more and more
More of his caresses
More of his kisses
His ecstasy
He holds her so that she does not drown
He wants more and more of her
More of her caresses
More of her kisses
Her ecstasy
Neither wanting to leave
Both clinging to each other
Never wanting this to end
This weekend or any other weekend
Their thoughts carry them to a better day
A day that they will be together forever
Not just at the weekends
A tete-a-tete
Or an illicit weekend
A complete wholeness
With their fiery passions
And love for each other

DO WE STAND AND WATCH?

DO WE STAND AND WATCH?

At this very moment
Here I stand looking downwards
Not looking up or sideways
These emotions
These feelings
Garbled
Jumbled
Muddled
I do not know what to think
Or believe right now!
Part of me feels guilty
I can and do not want to face this guilt
All in the same breath
Same thought and thoughts
It makes me feel I cannot face you
Guilty, guilty feelings
Shame, shame on me
I see that look on your face
Thoughtful
Pensive
A look of contemplation
Are you feeling and sensing my thoughts?
I so want, need to change this feeling
A world gone mad, insanely mad
It tortures
It torments
It never surrenders
There is no peace, maybe some kind of peace
Is there in the distance
A vision
A glimmer of hope
I hope
But can it be real?
Surreal
It just feels weird
Odd, dreamlike
But it carries hope
So maybe this is not so bizarre
By far
Maybe I should face you
Look at you differently
From before
Should never be judgemental
Hypercritical
Critical
It serves no purpose
Listening to others
Instead of my own feelings that resides
Inside
