Angel Song

High up in the tree tops
Light as falling snow
A sound rings out so crisp and clear
To listening ears below

A melody so sweet and pure
It sets the heart to flight
It reaches the most hardened souls
And turns the dark to light.

As refreshing as the morning dew
It's voice so pure and mild.
The songs of earthbound angels perhaps?
Tis the laughter of a child.

The Kiss

Intensity swirling dark and light through my mind.
Emotions are deep and breath is shallow.
Cocoons burst open into butterflies in my stomach.
The feeling is too great and too soon.
Kindness, passion and friendship can be felt more through it.
However, it all ends too quickly for your lips are no longer on mine.

The Love That Breathes Within

My face, enigmatic moon,
glows in the darkening sky.
My eyes are gleaming jewels
in an ebony felt night.
My lips caress a sound
and my teeth click sharp and bright.
A phrase sifts over my tongue
in sinuous sliding waves.
My fingers brush with
tender touch,
a stroke upon your skin.
A kiss, a look, a laugh,
show the love that
breathes within.

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies
I say
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my steps
The curl of my lips
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honey bees
I say
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see
I say
It's in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud
I say
It's in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need for my care
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

Little Angels

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world,
seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more
beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still
somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

A touch of Love......

Even though love is quiet ~~ its bold ~~
its greater than anyone could behold.
Greater
than the deepest sea
is the love you hold with me.
I've searched the insides of my soul
from the top of my head
to the tip of my toe
nothing compariable in all this known
has there been a love freely shown.
Only you.
Have touched my heart
this, grown from the start.
Friend and lover, both in all,
greater than the finest grain of sand so small.
Nothing quite could completely reveal
love with smiles,
touches,
passions....
so real.
What is felt so deeply and true
love, known to all, old and new,
vision,
within,
able to show....
this feeling we both know.
Friends and lovers,
complete.
One soul,
one body
to keep.

For All Eternity...

I know where I'll be
loving you and your loving me.

Always searching for what should have been
looking at the many turns in our lives
and feeling emptiness with the life we were in

Knowing that we wanted and now, to go and

get it

isn't it just amazing?

for all eternity.......
I know where I'll be
loving you and your loving me

and, honey,
we've found that special way
that lovers stay in love
we need each other every night
and every day
and when we share
we completely give and take
and when we touch, no words we say
the feeling remains through and through.

for all eternity.......
I know where I'll be
loving you and your loving me

we've seen things, and been in a few
our kisses are sweeter
than the finest wine
we know we got a love that few do

a sweet loving that understands and cares

honey,
I honestly and freely
will always love you

for all eternity................
I know where I'll be
loving you and your loving me...
