What a Lovely Grip

Get a grip, I don’t love her yet but what else do I hang onto, I can catch her eye for a second, maybe a smile, she’s even touched me for a moment but while hope springs eternal it was not meant for anyone forever. “What a Lovely Grip”

So we let go of Heaven
to learn how to fly
But we never look down

And I don’t know how
Is that a reason to lie
“To the stars” is that where we’re headed?

If I had just another second
Would you ask me why?
You are here; you’re mine, and now

I’m holding you, you’re holding me
How I have dreamed of this,
as zippers and buttons fall away;
what do I hold onto?
It’s you that I’m touching

Scratches all down my back… you’re blushing
Love me like you do
tonight, tomorrow, where were you yesterday
You answer with a kiss
yet in the morning we see

Clothing, bed sheets, did we rip these?
It looks as though Heaven won’t be missed
The feathers, the colors, the light, still falling anyway
Along with three little words… “I love you”
If I had to say something

Get a grip

Falling for you, falling for it

I want to hold your hand… but “those words” might slip

Let It Go Higher

No not Frozen… more like paralyzed, besides she’s too “dang” hot for me to be frozen but my crush being with me; yeah when Hell freezes over I guess. Let It Go Higher, because I am constantly falling and I don’t look forward to coming down

And are the stars high enough
for I need more time to fall in love
Tell me, “I think so”
if only I could just…
Maybe today, tomorrow, tonight

I confess all of my sins
I’ll call you beautiful once again
But you never hear me though
Paper, pencil, pen
Everyone says hi

Only I’m left here absently
holding onto gravity
thinking out loud… of making you curl your toes
You’d have to be an atom bomb baby
because I’m holding on so tight

to the possibility, to the hope
the pillows and bedsheets; am I a dope
waiting on you to say no
No you don’t want me, no love, no ravish, no lingerie rope
*sigh* I want to be that guy

Let it be me… the one you choose
What are you waiting for… love me like you do
Why can’t I let it go?
This love medley, those three little words… I love you
or the wish that doesn’t sound quite right… “Morning”, “Hi”

Better off Faithful

If for every wish a star went out would you never wish again or I heard once a fairy keels over whenever someone says “I don’t believe in fairies”; I saw one of my crushes today and thought of the things I want from her. Better off Faithful

For the man who would frighten the angel
If only for a few lost feathers
Or a moment of truth

Would you make her a beautiful stranger?
Real or even something better
Love me like you do

No my love, I shall remain one of the faithful
Than dare to dream of you and I together
With the words “I love you”

But how do you talk to an angel

Landing Love

Falling in love… one is always falling but I’ve seen those couples afterwards; someday I want to wake up with the sunlight and a pretty girl. I want to fly to come back to Earth; it’s why God made beds, carpeted floors… “Landing Love”

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4_0AsdGXvU

And I’d like to land

No not a trip
or so much as even a slip
But what lovers do after the fall
Tell me, this is it
I don’t think so as all

of me and all of you, lies in a pile of clothes
with nowhere we want to go
Yet we cannot be stranded

Because that’s the way love goes
Only if we were together…

Angel don’t pluck your feathers
Still with all my love letters
Think I can, I think I can

Never, I’ll never catch you
“Love me like you do”
As you make capes out of bed sheets
For even the stars fall too
Just where we will meet

In each other’s arms; you’re my woman, if I’m your man

How to Open Unwritten Love Letters

I was thinking about “Lessons in Falling” and I said I never talked to a girl’s father before but I haven’t talked to a lot of girls either so… Anyway she might have to talk me up to him and hell to myself How to Open Unwritten Love Letters

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_3…

“Are you sure he even remembers”

“Because I tell him all about you”
So why am I whispering
I love you or whatever

If you could only see the way she loves me
“Should you really be writing an apology?”
Sometimes I think I should forget her
“Don’t you ever say that again”
But is beautiful the way to begin
Maybe I should let her

Only your love remains unwritten
Just by no means hidden
A few loss feathers, face riving in pleasure
Fallen angel, ravishment, I’d take you to Hell
As you tell me the things I don’t tell myself
When we’re together

“Love me like you do”
God, Cupid, pretty girl listening
Alone forever

Waiting on unwritten love letters

How Cotton Was Forgotten

People are just too much to deal with for me sometimes but a person, one beautiful woman, I’d want to show her the world; on the other hand why would I want to leave my bed? If I found love, I’d be worried about losing her “How Cotton Was Forgotten”

What about a smaller snooze button
Only I reach for nothing

You’ve gotten nothing to wear
And I really don’t care
to look in the bedroom closet; maybe I’m rotten
but I found your panties
A dystopian fantasy

where the spaces between you AND me
well they cease to be
Causes…
Three little words or a few
Love me like you do
In lace, silk, and cotton
My atom bomb baby

Because here and now
Won’t you stay with me, like I’m the only man in town?
Or has my heart too been forgotten

Lessons in Falling

It’s not like you can just go up to the door and knock… I’ve never talked to a girl’s father so could you imagine knocking on heaven’s door as the song goes. Also angels have wings so no wonder one won’t fall for me but if she did Lessons in Falling.

As my legs turn to jelly
and my words fail me
Butterflies in my belly
Because no one walks into Heaven

But I’m still falling now

While you’re walking on air
I could take you there
Just like a prayer
Where is this question

cause I don’t know how

“Let me love you
love me like you do”
Only I don’t know how to fly, true
Something other than falling lessons

Happily… Ever… Whatever

So what’s stopping me… a few “fetishes”, a need for the intimacy, all of womankind, who knows really; okay so I could be a better person I suppose. “Happily… Ever… Whatever” that would be too much especially for a “first” just the opportunity…

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi0cV2mNLr8

Oh God was it ever

The lace and the feathers
Not much for leather… are you?
And a thank you letter

Because it must be quite the effort
To love me like you do
Bu why can’t I remember

My love, return to sender
You and me… a dream or two, a few
Happily… ever… whatever

Something better than “I love you”… wish I could let her
Or the answer wasn’t never

Cupid Mobile

Better to say nothing, but I have a heart, I have “something else”, and I have fingers, and all those things seem to outrun my brain, so why not blame Cupid and Siri. Cupid Mobile… think I need a better mobile plan.

One day I’ll have to guess

The honey and the moon
Two of the lucky ones… who would you suggest
To love me like you do

Oops, what did I just say to you?
Autocorrect
Too soon, too soon
“My love…”
“What?”

Sweet Something Speak

She looks at me, I look at her and pow, or maybe boom; hearts say so many things and we’re listening or I’m listening, can’t speak for her. “Sweet Something Speak”… sweet nothings but lovers have their ways but me, I can’t tell her this way, that way

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SznRrbX59lQ

And what god was encouraged
That the stars became wishes
for winds to give breath?
Only there was nothing left
to say but this…
Nothing

Why is everyone nervous
speechless, without words
Now see what you’ve done
“Two of the lucky ones”
Him and her
Thinking “love me, love me”

How’s that for a purpose
To love, to be loved, to be loved
“I love you”
“Love me like you do”
We don’t say these things because
It’s a little bit funny

But where is my courage,
in bed sheet receipts?
Dreams instead of plans
“I want to be your man”
said in so many heartbeats
Or so I was wondering

I’d say something
like, I want to know what love is
