Running in Rain

the weather is perfect
spring is in the air
I want to run in the rain
jump in puddles
come home soaking wet

the enchantment of drizzle
the handsomeness of the storm
the way you precipitate your love
and sprinkle your delight

the beauty of the day is invigorating
your thunder and music, hallucinating
your welcoming embrace, so captivating

I want to run in the rain

Fine

It happens every time

I see you and you look more and more fine

I wish you were mine

We could have a night out on the town and dine

enjoy a nice glass of wine

You are creeping up on me like a wicked vine

I wonder if that is a sign

because darling you are so fine

I'm Not Ready

I'm not ready to see you go
I can't believe it's already your turn to walk
I don't want to say goodbye
I wish you the best of luck
But tears trickle down my face
because you've left your handprint on my heart
I'm not ready to see you go

My Brother

you are my brother

you are my friend

you make me smile

to no end

The Joke is on Him

every simple gesture
turns out to be ridiculous
not sure how we were ever us
what he does is so extraneous
but it's not only me
everyone else can see
his petty ways
so here's a toast to laughter
because the joke is on him

Nincompoop

Do you remember
all those letters I wrote you
if you can even call it that
do you remember
being young and carefree
I remember
all the silly things
how I felt about you
I remember
blushing at the sound of your name
and how you were such a nincompoop!

Do That Which You Love

listen to the voice within
do that which you love
because pleasing yourself is the only way to win

there comes a day
of epiphany and understanding purpose
the purpose of life

listen to the voice within
do that which you love
and light up the world with that beautiful grin

We are different, you know
You sleep with a buddy
I sleep with a night light
Our differences are all too much the same
Why not coincide and give it a try?

Explore

who wants to come?

fly away with me 

across many seas

who wants to come?

drive a road unknown

and see where it takes us

who wants to come?

ride in a hot air balloon

and see from above the trees

who wants to come?

jump out of a plane 

and let gravity take us as we fall

who wants to come?

with me on my bicycle built for two

who wants to come?

ride a horse beside me 

along the beach

who wants to come?

and share my home

who wants to come?

be by my side in all life's adventures

who wants to come?

explore forever and beyond

Indescribably Happy

indescribably happy
nothing in the world can bring you down
your face painted with a splendid smile
can't think of anything but your emotion
yet cannot explain how you feel
the world just knows
you are indescribably happy

Running

running is me time
I run for me
always driven by something new
when running is not an option I drink tea

looking out the window
a storm is on its way
I think it's time to go for a run
take up this opportunity? I think I may

The Ace Of Hearts

A deck of cards in hand
shuffling and listening
to our favorite band

half black half red
here I am
always remembering what you said

only four suits

clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts

but only one stands apart

you are the one and only
ace of hearts
there's no question how to start
just lead with a heart
there's nothing like playing cards
with the ace of hearts

black jack and poker
no matter the game
you're gambling with my hearts
two through nine
the jack, queen, and king
you act as though it ain't no thing

right here, right now
i'm calling your bluff
as if I haven't seen enough

you are the one and only
ace of hearts
there's no question of how to start
just lead with a heart
there's nothing like playing cards
with the ace of hearts

my euchre game isn't so strong
would you be my partner?
I don't want to go alone

my hand is weak
share yours with me
and we won't be beat

I've got the left
and you've got the right
both of our bowers can put up a fight

you are the one and only
ace of hearts
there's no question of how to start
just lead with a heart
there's nothing like playing cards
with the ace of hearts

you and I are two of a kind
what a pair we'll be
I ask "Do you have a seven?"
You say, "No, go fish.
Do you have a three?"
I hand it over because I know you can see
I let you cheat because

you are the one and only

ace of hearts

there's no question of how to start

just lead with a heart

there's nothing like playing cards

with the ace of hearts

When it comes to pinochle

I'm oh so good at counting cards

you can stack the deck all you want

I know you hold all the trump

I even let you steal the deal

because you've won me over

ace of hearts

no matter all the meld I held

you are the one and only

ace of hearts

there's no question of how to start

just lead with a heart

there's nothing like playing cards

with the ace of hearts

egyptian ratscrew, rummy, and bullshit

canfield, spoons, and speed

you're everything I need

quite the magician, I must add

and here we are

playing fifty-two pick up

now look at what two cards are left

one for me and you

a joker and the ace of hearts

so now what do we do?
would you like to play double solitaire?

I leave it up to you because

you are the one and only

ace of hearts

there's no question of how to start

just lead with a heart

there's nothing like playing cards

with the ace of hearts

My Love

I miss you so much
I can't sleep
I continue to think about us
visions of you drown my mind
I can't wait until the next time we meet
I love you my love

Hearing your voice
knowing you are so near
makes me miss you even more
than when you aren't here
