Closing Book On Queen Muse

You were the illuminating sun bright in my life
But to you I was the moon reflecting your beauty
Separated by the Earth populated by your boyfriends
Even as I orbited around you when you relocated
To your tropical isle while I stayed in this winter city
But I want to thank you for the best three years
I've spent since the days I would weekly fall in love
And there is no logic to whom the heart dedicates itself
Though I will always remember the exuberance and joy
Of your personality to which I am always devoted
Even as we part from one another and go our unique ways
As I face a deeper solitude than I have ever known
Calling upon my faith in the Lord to send me a mate
To make me complete in manner I thought you might
Were not the many distances between us so overwhelming
We were bound never to be lovers despite the affection
We shared being blissful in each other's presence.

Love You But Lost You

Passion does not necessarily end
When a relationship does even if
It is just a friendship but I am
Tired of carrying an unrequited
Heart on my sleeve and I am just
A cuckold for we will never have
An intimate affair so maybe it's
Time we say farewell and keep joy
We've given each other in unique
Place because although I have an
Incredible threshold for emotion
And pain I refuse to be the fool
Who shall not admit the dead end
To which we are destined as true
Reality kicks in and I find love
Is an illusion of my warped brain
Lost to lust which cannot create
The perfection of an amour while
We are separated from each other
By the impossibility of distance
Of your desire for someone else.

Heaven Of A Thousand Muses

I lack inspiration feeling being in love
Cannot be a permanent state and mad lust
For you negates the grace of forgiveness
I seek every night with prayer to Christ
While watching every day the sweet bodies
Of ladies with whom I would love to have
A relationship though Lord knows our needs
So I remain celibate and pursue the wishes
Of my physical self with gazes of longing
At lovely women driving their custom SUVs
With children to whom I can never be dad
Though still I wait to find my perfect maid.

Considering Future With Queen Muse

To know the joy of the presence of Jesus
Is a bliss I have not experienced except
In long-gone dreams just as I have never
Felt intense intoxication of kiss of sweet
Lips with which you mesmerize me with
Amorous voice telling me you adore me
Enticing me with deep dreams of sacred
Devotion since I cannot expect you to be
My Bride for I'm unable to compete with
Younger stud who can make you mother
While I sit by silent phone waiting for the
Time when we can talk and laugh though
It leads to nothing but a lonesome abyss
From which I will never be rescued as I
Wait for you to decide the winner of the
Breeder's Cup from which I'm excluded.

A Fool Only In Love

You short circuit my brain with craving
To be in your presence my vaunted intellect
Cannot control as hormones of early spring
Kick in and I sit fixated by the silent phone
Waiting for the ring of your velour voice lost
In long moments of amorous oblivion
Reading the Bible to increase faith in Lord
Who directed you into my reality formerly
Resigned to indifferent solitude until the day
You materialized in pub to create in my sad
Existence new meaning even as you melted
My defenses with torch of the kind concern
By which you illuminated my darkness as I wrote
You poems inspired by the purity of your beauty
Which thunder-struck me with a longing I had not
Experienced for a score of years so I fell
Into an adolescent infatuation that continues
To bloom into deep affection transforming
My aloneness into a sentiment of wholeness
I never thought I could ever feel again.

Let Fate Follow Its Destiny

If you are the lady from the future I think you are
Then nothing I Dew will change the path of journeys
On which together we will embark and if you are not
Who I think you are you have still put a fire under
My frozen heart to show me the possibilities I feel
Have become manifest for some type of true love
For you've filled my spirit with a hope of finding an
Amour with whom I can spend the rest of the earthly
Time I have before my descent into the silent grave
That pulls us all into the oblivion of immortal sleep.

Pondering A Truly Absurd Notion

One cannot "decide" to fall in love
For when it happens it just happens
With an intensity and inevitability
That the brain is unable to process
And even when it occurs there is no
Guarantee the feelings shall endure
But still I long to enjoy the velvet
Of your voice and touch the silk
Of your body flowing as kimono
Above waterbed of bed-chamber
Where we lose ourselves to joyful
Bliss of our temporary time in each
Other's arms holding onto the sweet
Illusion of passion growing like apple
Upon heavy branches of tree of life
In The Lord's garden of perfection.

Great Now Distance Between Us

My emotions are in motion on the big ocean
Across which you flew to commence new life
On the island paradise from which you hail
In your subtle youth as I entertain notion
Our love can survive the separation of our
Realities even as I remain in Holiest City
A mere mile from the house you left behind
To pursue the bliss of an existence in the
Hope that you might create happy situation
While I envy of your carefree dedication to
Contentment that you have forever sought
Which I celebrate though you left me alone
To deal with the yearning of romantic soul
Gasping to find breath to talk to you as
The days accumulate and I struggle to find
An alternative to the real intense passion
We always experienced in presence of each
Other seeking to balance friendship with a
Lust it seems I alone of us two truly felt
In the holy time we spent joined together.
