lyrics of my life

Prose that’s put to music the lyrics of my life Sung in soft and bluesy tones Wonder, loving, strife A melody of amazement A rhapsody wrought with passion A song of aspiration An opera with all factions The chords of deep dissension Played by violins A harp for softer moments A cello for my sins The maestro does conduct it all Standing with baton The symphony well directed As my life plays on

kiss me

you can kiss me under the moonlight
you're the only star I'll see
you can kiss me by the ocean
my favorite place to be
you can kiss me when it's raining
I don't care if I get wet
you can kiss me in slow motion
baby, that's the best kiss yet
you can kiss me under the ceiling fan
letting it cool these satin sheets
I don't care where you kiss me
but you know where it's gonna lead

dreamed

at the foot of the mountains
in a valley that is green
in the shadow of saguaro
and arid desert terrain
this is where you leave me
I know it's the last time
you quickly mount your horse
and off to the west you ride
no glances over your shoulder
you pass the mesquite trees
on this new trail that awaits
looking for what is dreamed
maybe it's just a myth
and maybe it's really there
but you'll never know the truth
till you search everywhere
