My eyes look brightest
Whenever I see you
My heart cries out
To beat only for you
My entire body
Yearns to be near you
I speak “I love you”
It falls on deaf ears
It is ridiculous
How much I need you
And you don’t even care
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – ridiculous
You turn to me to kiss me
And hold me in your arms
Passions burn brightly
We become consumed
Left basking in the glow
Of love in the afternoon
…
Alas it’s just a fantasy
That someday you’ll be mine
And dreams are all it will ever be
As you kiss your wife
Loving her endlessly
Without a thought for me
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – fantasy
You take me into your arms
Holding me tight to your chest
I can feel your heartbeat
And I am certain
You can feel mine racing
Gently you touch my chin
Lifting my face towards yours
Then with a caress of the cheek
You pull me into a kiss…
This is the daydream
I have dreamed a thousand times
But your wife’s picture
Is set upon your desk
And you barely say hello to me
I’m lost in thoughts of you
Most every single day
But I am only furnishing
In the corner of the office
You notice
But don’t really see
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – daydream
And as a bonus…
She was in love with him
Had been for years
But she knew she didn’t have a chance
It was a hopelessly impossible love
Sometimes late at night though
He would text her and “talk” for hours
He was miles away though
And now he found someone else
She was happy for him, truly
But she still had dreams at night
Of being in his arms held tight
And he grabs her face oh so gently
He kisses her for the first time
It is everything she thought it would be
But morning always comes
With a new day without him
And she still silently hopes
Someday it could be her with him

(I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine’s Day. I know I am a little late with the wish but I am well know for my tardiness!)
You’re the true north of my compass
My northern star in the sky
When I’m with you I am at peace
Home is by your side
I share these words with you
Every single night
One day I hope you’ll hear them
For you are my guiding light
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – compass
You did it again
And you don’t even know it
You made my heart skip a beat or two
You let the butterflies loose inside of me
I have to keep my mind on track
Or you’ll have control there too
Because every time you look at me
I lose a piece of my heart to you
And you don’t even know it
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – track
his manicured hands
lightly brush against mine
only for a second
but I feel the electricity
he talks and I can’t help
but be drawn to his lips
how soft and warm
they appear to be
his eyes dance
when he starts to laugh
then suddenly turn gentle
with a softened look
I know he would hold me
if only I would ask
the temptation is so strong
for I feel so all alone
but this is not the time for passion
he’s only just a friend
who’s more than I could handle
and all that I’ll ever want
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – temptation
I care about you
Give my heart some credit
Don’t ignore my feelings
I yearn for you
Give me your touch
Don’t ignore my needs
I love you
Give me your heart
Don’t ignore me
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – credit
Fire in my heart
Desire in my body
Thoughts only of you
But it will never be
You see me only
As a friend
Someone to talk to
Not a body worth touching
Someone to laugh with
Not a heart to beat with
But in my eyes
We are bound by more
We know each other so well
We are souls entwined
In a closeness that is
A once in a lifetime union
If only I could be enough for you
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – bound
What can I do
You are always on my mind
This constant yearning
Is tearing me apart
I should not feel this way
But when does the heart
Ever follow the rules
You are with another
And all I can do is dream
So I close my eyes
And place myself in your arms
To satisfy my craving
If only for a moment
