Love and deep devotion
connected heart to heart
trust and understanding
secure from very start

Smiles are shared together
as are the salty tears
bonds that keep on growing
stronger through the years

Tender hugs and kisses
when everything seems wrong
caring when we stumble
helping us along

When life is full of heartache
days seem dark and gray
giving hope and promise  read more

What I Want

I want to go to the ocean,
And climb the highest dune.
I want you to undress me,
Beneath the summer moon.

I want to stand under the stars,
Held tight in your embrace,

As you remove my gown of red lace.

I want to surrender my body,
To your every need and desire.
I want to be a willing victim.
Of your burning, passionate fire.  read more
