The Magical Kiss

    Soft, sweet, velvet lips and eyes that long for a kiss
    Yet so often it is the smile you wear I miss
    And the enchanting flicker in your eyes as we meet
    With the breeze so calm and the music so low
    Time nearly stands still or perhaps continues slow
    Somehow the ground feels as if its fallen from beneath our feet
    Have the stars ever looked so beautiful up above?
    And is this how it feels to be in love?
    If so I surely will never retreat




I Miss you Sallie

    I'm reminded of the first time I saw your face
    A memory not at all easy to erase
    But that's not why I liked you at all
    And that's not why my heart seemed to fall
    And it wasn't the way you looked or dressed
    But none of these things made me like you less
    There was something about your eyes that
    seemed to capture my interest
    And something about your voice that made my
    heart beat so hard against my chest
    And then if it wasn't these things was it
    your personalilty
    No it wasn't this that compelled me
    And if there was so much you could offer
    which one thing would do
    It was not one thing or two things not even
    three but everything about you




Your Dream is My Prison

    Secure in love, this platform of quicksand
    I'm the happiest with her, to destroy me is her demand

    I never really say the things I feel
    You need to learn life is not that surreal

    At one time I'd run to you with arms open wide
    Now I just run from you with them by my side

    I'll dodge all you immature romance shots
    And ignore your notes signed "love you lots"

    I need to be free from your prison-like hold
    I enjoyed playing at first but this game's gotten old
