These Strange Nights These strange nights,
That only happen during the late days of summer,
When the air is so very warm,
And strangely cool at the same time,
And you are next to me,
Your arms enveloping me,
As we lay on the still-made bed,
The very air,
Seems to crackle with my desire for you,
Building around me, as it does within,
You look into my eyes,
And smile so sweetly,
And I can't help but to return it,
So delicately you pull me to you,
As my lips slowly form to yours,
And I taste you,
My skin aches for you touch,
So gentle and soft,
Like the very breeze itself,
And as I feel my skin melt into yours,
As if the flows of heat from our bodies,
Were like fingers mingling with one-another,
And then it is like the very windows,
Had flung open, flushing the room,
And stilling the air, in complete silence,
You give me that smile again,
And once again I find myself returning it,
These strange, late summer nights.
---------------------
I Want To Sleep I want to sleep,
And yet I try to defy it,
I step outside onto the walk,
The air starting to embrace the first chills of fall,
My breath escapes me in just barely visible clouds of vapor,
I glance up at the sky and watch the moon,
Surrounded by a glowing haze of light mist,
And the stars so bright and visible on this crisp night,
I wander back to my door,
To finally give into sleep's blanket.

The Magic Of You
The feel of your skin next to mine,
Your eyes pouring light in through the windows,
I would go through the stars,
To feel the magic of you.
To taste your lips,
The sweet kiss of honey,
Placing my heart in the fires of passion,
To experience the magic of you.
At last I'm in your arms,
Your head resting on mine, two souls as one,
The warm night air snakes across my skin,
As your lips touch my neck.
This is the magic of you.
------------------------
We Glance At Each Other Across The Crowd We glance at each other across the crowd
And I smile right after you do
Even with how stupid I act sometimes
And all the wrong things going on in my life
You still stand by me
Without even saying anything about it
You save me from myself
With your hand on my shoulder you comfort me in this world
You don't face my fears for me
But you're there to share my pain
But for those short moments when I'm in your arms
Everything is so worth it, for that short feeling of total happiness
