The Highest Bidder

I want to hear you talk forever,
The clever things you say
inspire me to hold you close
if you wouldn't push away.

But you're bold and keep your distance,
Your resistance to my arms
just complicates my courage
and cripples all my charms.

I just can't divert my thoughts from you,
Construe a new emotion
to hide the fiction of my mind
or blind my heart's devotion.

Because your eyes are so resilient,
You're brilliant when you smile
like everything you see you love...
Just love me for a while.

a kiss left your mouth
and was given to mine
where it danced on my lips
and our hearts intertwined
leaving me breathless
and blind with elation
hungry for more
of your sweet invitation

Catch a Falling Star

Laying on my back at night
I've tried to count the stars
and pick apart that veil of light
to find what we made ours.

I'd take the silver moonbeams down
and tie them in my hair
so heaven's light would be the crown
of our glittering affair.

Upon my collar I would place
a strand of starry pearls
for every kiss upon my face
that made my dreams unfurl.

I'd pick a corner of the sky
and wrap it close around
so I'd always remember why
the love we have was found.

When the sky is stripped above
the blanket covering me
will beam the splendor of our love
for all eternity.
