Is It Time To Say?
My heart beats to its rhythm,
and is filled with anticipation for today.
As I sit to contemplate, I wonder if
Father Time has come to part ways.
Will there be time to express my love as
you walk out the door?
Perhaps a gentle kiss before letting go?
Will there be time for one last fleeting
embrace before I say the words that
might compel you to stay, or words
that could alter the course of our love
today?
Is it time for these lips to say goodbye
while my heart asks you to stay?
One last plea not to give our love away,
but a fighting chance for love in good
faith.

THE LOVE SONG
It's always been you, the music my heart sings,
the reason its rhythm is offbeat.
Tell me, my love, how can this be?
In your presence, I stand with courage and strength,
yet I stumble on unsteady feet.
Your loving me is like midnight sweets.
That satisfies cravings way down deep.
To say "I love you" is simply not enough
to compete with the song that my heart sings.
They say love grows stronger with time,
and I find that to be true as each second
turns into minutes when I am with you.
To you, I have given my love, and
from you, I have received love in its full truth.
Where would I be without you?
Your love, your friendship, your simple acts of kindness--
for those attributes, I will love you forever in blindness.
Your willingness to give and share without
restraint means everything to me.
Your unselfish joys are among my greatest treasures.
I don’t need to witness the world’s mysteries
or hear the tales of great kings and queens.
My vision is clear, and in my heart, I know what I believe:
It is you, the love song my heart will forever sing.

“MY HEART SONG”
If I give you my heart
on a musical sheet,
will you strum it like a violin,
soft and sweet?
Or will you strike it like a drum,
hard and fast, with meticulous strokes
and boombing beats?
Will it be a love song of melodies
or the classical sounds of a symphony?
Or will it be the sound of the blues—
a little sad and off-beat?
If I give you my heart
on a musical sheet,
will you compose a country song
that tell the story of truth?
Or will it be the smooth sound of jazz,
crafted with heart and flair?
Or perhaps it will be the soulful sounds of R&B
that stirs my soul and buckle my knees?

MY FAILED HEART
A Note to My Failing Heart:
I tried my best; I held on tight.
Yet, somewhere in the battle,
I lost the will to fight.
I surrendered to the daylight
that conquered my lonely nights.
I surrendered to a love that felt so right.
For now, I am blind and deprived of sight.
Love slipped in between heartbeats
and an extremely weak pulse.
I had no choice but to let it in,
as my heart, body, and soul
yielded to the power of its whirlwind.
How did I reach heaven
with the earth shaking beneath my feet?
How am I still breathing when I felt
asphyxiated by the love that seized me?
I confess to saying,
my heart is no longer in sync
with its rhythm; instead, it is led astray
by brown eyes and a handsome face.
To my failed heart: You have failed miserably.

MY HEART’S DESTINY
How did you find me?
I was not seeking to be free;
I was hiding, nurturing wounds of weakness.
There, your presence found me---
a surprise entrance my heart didn’t see.
Your presence is overwhelming,
invading my deepest dreams.
Visions of you haunt my lingering memories,
shattering strong walls and breaking through freely.
Your smile and kind eyes captured me.
How did you navigate my heart so expertly?
You are a strong warrior
who chooses your weapon carefully.
With great skill, you tended to my wounds gently.
With the delicate touch of your hands,
you healed my heart's sorrows and forgave
my yesterdays for my tomorrows.
I’m glad you found me—my heart’s destiny.

Love Out-of-Control
Defenseless and out of control,
on wings of passion, we soar.
As two become one, passion takes control.
Love is a thrilling and daring experience.
That is both compelling and bold.
As two souls unite, a new story unfolds.
The memories of the here and now
will forever be told.
Your love has captivated my heart.
Not even Father-time can keep us apart.
The opinions of others
about our love hold no weight.
Even I cannot fully grasp
the intensity of its burning state.
Our love blazes like a wildfire,
with flames unconstrained.
Fierce, wild, and raging out of control.
Untamed love inconsistently remains the same.
The heat burns inside as a moth to a flame.
Your name, I've uttered openly.
Aloud without shame.

"The unleashed freedom to love is a beautiful thing".
Midnight Heart
My heart feels a bit blue as I think of you.
I wish you were here sitting near.
Out of all the days,
Why must it be this one you stayed away?
The stillness of the night
Echoes the strings of my heart wrapped so tight.
The surrounding dark resembles my midnight heart.
I am imperfect without you and fumbling in the dark.
Being without you my love
Is like having two hands but only one glove.
Lacking thereof, I miss you so much, my love.
Your love is the calmness that I crave; without it,
My heart is as hollow as an abandoned grave.
If only you were here with me to soothe
My midnight heart and keep it from falling apart.

Medieval Love
I slayed my heartbreak today.
I am a conqueror.
I am no one's captured prey.
I killed it with my spear against my shield
and laid it to rest on the battlefield.
Forgiving you doesn't mean forgetting what you've done.
You took away my sun for a moment's run,
the clouds above went dark as you obliterated my heart.
But that's okay because tomorrow is a new day.
The sun will shine bright again,
and my heart will resume to mend.
As time equals a full day, the heavens will make a way.
So I raise my goblet to the open sky
and proclaim victory underneath heaven's midnight stars.
The tears I've shed will flow no more.
Thus, I mourn this ancient love and settle the score.

MY HEART SPEAKS
If my heart is happy,
will you hear the rhythm of its clapping?
If my heart is breaking,
will you hear the words desperately saying?
I am sorry for today, tomorrow, and yesterday.
For it is me my heart does speak.
If unforgiveness
causes my heart to withdraw and retreat,
Does forgiveness then set it free?
If my heart is at a restful peace with thee,
Should I offer my love to you unconditionally?
And if I choose to give you my heart wholeheartedly,
Will you stay loyal, play for keeps, or abandon me?
Will you protect my heart?
Treat it with the kindness and tenderness it deserves.
Will you keep it healthy and happy with fulfilled love?
Will you pay the asking price of my heart’s freedom willingly?
Or will you, of your own free will, enslave me?
For it is me my heart does speak.
