Yellow Rose of Texas
A SOUTHERN HONEY

A newfound friend I met today;
my skies are blue instead of gray.
A beautiful soul, by God Almighty
a wonderful woman, my Aphrodite.
A far away place she be living in;
but close enough for we to sin.
I find refreshment within her youth;
others may think this love uncooth.
Our journey is fresh and full of hope;
disasters and thorns:  we must cope.
I dwell within her heartsong soul,
feeling her essence is so damn cool.
Friendship lives in the hearts of two;
I will never again turn sorrowful blue.
For a southern honey gave to me
the best damn love there could ever be.

OUR DREAM OF A POEM

My love has grown for you so much,
I can't live a day without your touch.
The living God has given me today
A texan love that never fades.
You come in my dreams as each day dies,
By my side, your body lies.
We never talk as we really dare;
To touch each other to show we care.
Your heart and body wants a baby tonight;
My sperm's the word I give you with great might.
Always remember you're a mother to be;
For one day soon I'll inpregnate thee.
Never lose hope in what we dream;
My texan flower of starlite beams.
I write poetry within you and words swim in a sea of esctacy;
You're the Joan of Arc of my sexual fantasies.
Love abounding, a poem is born;
I take your love, life, and soul by storm.
Never again will your heart be in pain,
Cause there is no better love then I give you this day.

IN DADDY'S ARMS

In Daddy's arms
I felt safe and warm,
Knowing that he would
Protect me from all harm.
~~~~
In Daddy's arms
Strength I found
To meet each task
With both feet on the ground.
~~~~
In Daddy's arms
My tears were gone.
He would comfort me
and say,"Life goes on."
~~~~
Now Daddy's arms
I can no longer feel;
For he is in heaven...
"I can't believe it is real."
~~~~
The pain is great,
I've shed many a tear.
Yet, i know in my heart,
He will always be near.
~~~~
If Daddy could speak
To me this day,
I know the words
He would surely say.
~~~~
"Daughter, when your
Time on earth is through,
Daddy's arms will be
Waiting for you."
