Love Isn’t Numb (June 11, 2008)

It’s not the same feeling
I have inside for her
That she’s holding for me
With or without rapport
I sense her confusion
Will she open up,
Can she accept herself
In my presence?

I wondered why
My senses failed
In her presence
But came alive
When she’s not around
Is it my own desire
Or a numb sensation
Drawn out when alone?

I give all that I am
In a setting only she will see
My affection is pure
Raw to the trained ear
Pushed aside by her experience
And yet here I am again
Teenage emotions
With adult aspirations

Why the adult response?
Why is romance impossible
For those who want and dream
Yet never leap with their heart
Seeing the trap called love
Fear keeps them stolid
Avoiding the real gift
Of living through love

I won’t stop leaping
My heart skips beats
My tongue gets tied
My head swirls in her presence
Her scent draws its picture
Upon my desires
To be in love
With her love in refrain

You Have A Chance (June 11, 2008)

You have a chance
One and only one

You can have my heart
But the lasso isn’t your words

You can have my soul
But the cost isn’t your kiss

You can win me forever
By doing what I do for you

You have a chance
To win the prize of your life

You can lose everything
With the spark of your words

You can lose your heart
With a false kiss or smile

You can lose me forever
In the blink of an eye

You have a chance:
Give what you aim to win

Or don’t.
