Chapter One

    The Candlelight Collection


    Naked

    Loins clad
    In full attire
    To be naked with you
    Is my heart's desire

    Not speaking of clothes
    Or a literal undressing
    Just two souls in touch
    In commune and nestling

    To know that our heartbeats
    Are so intertwined
    To know you never doubt
    What's on my mind

    Words never spoken
    You know how I feel
    Bodies fully clothed
    Souls naked that's real

    Just with a thought
    Or perhaps a glance
    Another layer unrobed
    It wasn't by chance

    Why all the fuss
    Why all the reaction
    It's your heartbeat
    That brings satisfaction
    The Scattered Collection

    I know who you are
    Right down to the core
    I see you naked
    Still I want more

    My desire for you
    Is straight off the chart
    Don't physically undress
    Just reveal your heart

    So take the layers off
    One at a time
    You show me yours
    I'll show you mine

    Wounds that are deep
    Scars that won't heal
    I've got those too
    So how do you feel

    If I drop my defense
    If I lower my guard
    If I stand here naked
    In your heart's front yard

    What will you do
    Don't stumble, don't falter
    Will you still love me
    Or send this lamb to the slaughter


    Sweet Sentiments

    I am thankful for my sight without which I may never have seen
    your beauty.
    The beauty that is equaled only by the earth in springtime. The
    smile that is more radiant than the moon at full glow. Certainly
    God had a princess in mind at your creation.


    Break-Ups

    Searching for words
    Want to sound sincere
    But they have to be words
    You desire to hear

    Thinking real hard
    For words that will please you
    Want to impress you
    So these words never leave you

    I've gotta make an impact
    Become a show no one can follow
    But there's something about truth
    It's often hard to swallow

    Not gonna quote Shakespeare
    Words must be real
    Just gonna tell you
    The way that I now feel

    Shouldn't really do that
    It's driving me mad
    Have a lump in my throat
    These words, they taste bad

    Hell I'll just tell you
    The way we shall end
    I only want the best for you
    My dear precious friend

Chapter Two

    The Collaborative Collection


    B.F.F.

    You say you're moving on
    You don't desire me no more
    Our love affair was legendary
    Tales designed for folk lore

    They'll speak of our romance
    For years to come
    We'll become immortal
    Lovers and then some

    You were...
