A Lover’s Concern

I have begun to wonder That if by now you have fallen in love with my imperfections And if so Would it be okay it there were also bruises

The infamy of a Lover

Unknown to the lover  I had yet met Unknown to me Wrap me in soft silhouettes Caress my soul Love me with the least of your thoughts Thinking  Lost Not yet found

I Must Confess

Tonight Before I close my eyes And drift off to a land of make-believe I must confess This beating heart of mine is yours And if you wished for my kisses Then I’ll give you three more wishes My Heart  My Soul My Mind Belongs to you with small bows on top As if they…
