Love, there is nothing I want more Than to capture you and place you in a cage My love for you is boundless and it is you that I adore You instill within me a passion with such a rage That only by capturing you within my arms can I be truly satisfied;

But I do realize, my love That you desire freedom more than life itself And it pains you to be chained like a wounded turtle dove And sit inside a steel cage beside my kitchen shelf While I enjoy your company for my selfish purposes forever;

I am truly sorry, dear If I make of you a caged bird I do not mean to entrap you with my affection, but this I fear That you do not comprehend my undying love for you;

So I can only show this undying love By capturing you within my heart and soul forever Until I can make you mine; I simply cannot have enough Of your sweet passion and this enrages me in a selfish madness But I will release you, do not worry I know how much you love your freedom I only wish to make you happy I know that if I detain you here forever, handsome Your only instinct is to fly away;

So I will be lenient and let you go Even though my heart is aching I must let your love for me grow For love is patient and long-suffering And it is only fair that I let you love me in your own way;

I must learn to let love spread its� beautiful wings of gold And not try to choke it with a strong and greedy hold!!!

The human heart is a fragile hope chest A place where all your dreams and hopes go A safe retreat to delve into When life slaps you with harsh reality; The human heart is a fragile organ It is an intricate jewelry box So vulnerable and delicate Beware....for the human heart is irreplaceable Treat well your hert Be kind and gentle For inside is the home of all your inspirations Take good care of the human heart For it is like a jewelry box to your soul It is the keepsake of all your dreams, hopes and expectations!!!

On the dawn of my Birthday I do reflect upon my life And I am grateful for each and every day The good days as well as the ones of strife My life has been a mixture of bad days and good But mostly I remember The good days that I've been given And I reflect upon the reason of my personhood And then I look within my heart and find the answer: I have come into this world to do good If I can be of service to humanity Let me do it now...for tomorrow i may not be here I only come this way but once And I must make each day a masterpiece!!!

Dear heart, does she love you as much as I do? For my love for you is strong Is her love deep and true?

I thought that you and I were meant to be together I really thought that love was our destiny But now you�ve found another

Does she fulfill all your ultimate dreams? Can she love you like I love you, dear? Love, it seems Like I will never calm this fear

I fear that I may lose you forever And that is something terrible that I can�t bear to face It seems I�ve lost you to her

Now I cannot bear to be alone like this Without your love I am lost for an eternity Do not punish me this way, please

My love for you has always been solid and sure So how can you repay me this way, love This cruelty imposed upon my heart , my soul can never ever endure!

Like the pheonix My heart has risen out of the ashes of my past And has flourished into a new and lasting relationship That could withstand the test of time;

Many times in my youth I've been a slave to love yet only have I felt love's abuse And I have the scars to prove it! Now I've finally taken The wings of the dove And have broken love's chains forever

never more will I allow myself to bleed Over some lover's jeoulous quest Or let passion nullify my aching need For freedom and independance no more will I let lust Hold me captive Upon eroticism ship For now I've tasted of love's sacred wine And felt true passion take control of me Now with love's golden key Does my llife begin to open And like the pheonix I rise to new hights once more and am reborn again Unto the light of true devotion And romance From an untimely death That kept my soul in darkness!

A gentle breeze Flows freely across the blue Atlantic Gracefully the tall native, southernbelles sway In a rhythmic dance Graciously they move their curved bodies With perfect symmetry and perfect ease; The tides clash against the golden shore The sun gazes upon its own reflection In his crystal-clear looking glass upon a turqouise ocean Everywhre you turn in this Island Paradise There is a panoramic view Of scenic wonder and surprise Miami is alive With the sounds of laughter, excitement and romance... In the air you can smell a clean, fresh scent.. The aroma of foamy beaches and tropical breezes That cools this island tropics And sets the mood just ripe For relaxation and tranquility

Ahh! Miami City of sunshine and of my youth I long to sense you within my soul once more And walk barefoot along your many miles of golden sand And feel your warmth burn my flesh in hues of gold Ahh!! Miami You are quite a breath-taking sight to behold!!

Each time the raindrops fall upon the Earth And the Dew moistens the tender blades of grass Weaving a misty tapestry In an intricate design I cannot help but watch in silent awe And marvel at the beauty of the universe; Each time the Rainbow crowns the sky Like an iridescent diadem When it casts a prism As light touches the thin patches of air and water I am spellbound as I behold all of Nature; How astonishing are the laws of Nature! How mysterious, how awe-inspiring! I cannot help and stop and wonder How moon, stars, and the planets all are held together by an invisible band called 'gravity' It is quite breathtaking To watfch the rising of the sun All in its precise season Yet most mysterious of all Is the hand that set Creation forth Out of nothing what-so-ever!!!

Today I turned a year older...wiser And as I stood there with eyes closed and mouth puckered like a fish As the candle glowed in the darkness in a steady flicker I closed my eyes and thought of you and so I made my wish The candlelight looked beautiful against the darkness And the magical glow filled the air Whilst my heart made its special desire to still this sadness By wishing you were here Your absense distresses me It fills me with dispair And I cannot enjoy a moment's glee Without your thoughts capturing me in a snare And so as I turn a year older...wiser I thought that it would be best if we Could come into each other's lives and be together And share our lives with all its ups, downs, and live happily It is my birthday wish that you and I Can be together for eternity Without your love I will simply wither and die So please look into my heart and hear my plea

Make this birthday wish come true Come into my sanctity I will be waiting there for you!!!

The tulips scent the warm spring air With the sweet aromatic fragrance Little rabbits, chicks, and lambs Open their eyes To an early spring Easter is finally here again It fills my heart with joy... A joy that fills my life with happiness And refreshes my soul With a fresh sense of renewal When the soul is asleep In winter's icy grip It is so nice to awaken To Spring's warm sunshine To a world of flowers and fresh air Easter brings such a sweet surprise To a dead world of snow and ice!!!

Pow! The smell of gun powder Hit the atmosphere Sending an acrid stench of sulpher That was quite sharp and severe;

Bits and pieces of metal spilt everywhere in sight Maiming, injuring and killing the innocent victims in the room It all started with a secret which the wick did light Slowly, intensely did the tension loom

The explosion happened so suddenly Nobody had a chance to evacuate There was a long list of casualties And as I read the obituraries of the victims did I ponder How can a heart be so full of hate That it can be so cold as to slander And in an instant kill and maime and totally annihilate

She annihilated a whole roomfool with her endless chatter Without alms she totally wiped out an entire family Her mouth was a short fused firecracker That went off instantaneously!!

Sitting here, needle in hand I attempt to make a masterpiece I pull the cloth tightly against the band And thread the needle with ease In my mind i�ve created the perfect tapestry A beautiful design of intricate pattern and artistry My hands, dainty and small commense its� task And carefully pulls with great care the needle And begins to embroider with yellow flask some design that is soft, femine and beautiful In time I embroider a red, red rose With a kelly green stem Oh!! I am out of white floss A fine crafter I am... I run out of material Before my project is done!

I am obssessed by the luminescence of your smile Your essence has captivated my soul With the elegance of your style You, love, my very being does enthrall

I can breathe your essence inside of me My heart sings like the lark It sings joyously As it treads upon the soft grass of Braddrock's park;

I cannot sleep longing for your touch I am feverish and delirious over you Love, can a person die of loving too much? My love, this feverish obssesion leaves my whole entire being tired, sad and blue!

Butterfly Dance the dance of freedom's song You flutter your wings and away you fly Your wings of gold are dainty but strong Like a beautiful ballerina you do your plies And off you go to blue, blue skies Butterfly You dainty dame You add beauty to this earth Without you life won't be the same For your presence adds grace and lustre to the universe

Mother Nature is cruel Thor sends down his arrows And suddenly....calmness?

The Ruby gently pressed upon the velvet texture of the flower With such finesse that I must attest Can only come from just one word from Love�s power The sweet fragrance of his breath Left a dewey residue Which gave her a youthful look upon her countenance And I do declare with such precision That there is none so beaming in such elegance And there is no human emotion Left that can honestly express The beauty that came over this gentle rose The very instant that she was tickled pink by love�s sweet kiss And this is why to this very day, this flower with a redness glows!

The phantom of Shakesphear With golden pen By my bed one day did he appear In my ear he whispered poetic jargon

My head all full of Iambic Pentameter I get up from my bed anxious and weary In search of pen and paper My mind scrambles and I begin to worry As my hand feverishly work and guides my pen across the page As my mind transfers ideas unto the pen with such a fierce rage Until I produce a Literary masterpiece Of which the Phantom of Shakespear could be proud

My virtue is a prize To be earned by a kingly man It cannot be bought, sold, or negociated in a compromise.... My virtue can only be won in a contest by a true gentleman

My virtue is above everything else in this existance The knight who pursues my heart and soul Must be an expert huntsman, willing to take a chance And set his mark upon the goal

This contest is not easy It takes great skills to obtain success But great joy and victory Far outweighs the battle and endless stress Only those brave knights that can pass these pre-requisites Get a chance to woo my heart and soul And it is only the best man of all these numberous suitors Who walks off with my Virtue lifted high upon a pedestal!

We met on ICQ.... Our conversations were endless. When I came home from work all my thoughts turned to you I would race to my �puter almost restless And turn on my ICQ in hopes to catch you there And when your box was blue I was in ecstacy But at times you weren�t there and I just could not bear To live in this misery I long to hear your voice ...your sexy voice on ICQ It moves my heart and delights all my senses Just sitting in front of my computer reading you You knock out all my defenses And I try picturing you inside my mind the perfect man... sweet, handsome, curteous and kind
