could you be my love?

Could you be the man I longed to love?

Could you be the second turtle dove?

In quiet moments when I stare in to your eyes I find glimpses of me

From across the room I can hear your thoughts

You speak to me without words from your mouth

At times I truly wonder if you know what this is all about

You love a woman for who she is

Not the superficial pleasures she can bring

You love the short afro with tight curls

Sometimes you may think of lacing a women’s foot in pearls

But that’s because real Kings always treat their woman like a Queen

You can articulate the past

And refuse to be struck by Hollywood’s cast

You speak the truth

And from day I knew you were proof,

That real men exist

And manifest their thoughts on more than bliss

Could you be that man to bless my lips with an everlasting kiss

Show me that there is more to life than T. H. I. S…this

To walk down the street hand in hand

Observe the sunset with our feet engulfed in sand

Let me tell the world that you are my man

Could you be that man to help God you and I bring new life into this world

Love me until the sun goes down

Smile even when you’re mad, because only my kiss could remove your frown

Could you be that man to love me even if I gain a few pounds?

To let me love you and give you all I have to give

And never run from the oath we made to commit

Commit our lives to being true to one another

When I look at you I see the man God created for me

Could you be that man?

Will you be that man?

Cause I see that man

Come forth and take my hand

dancing in the dark

Dancing in the dark

Alone in an oblivious park

Stepping to the sound of the cool breeze

Swaying my hips along side the lonesome leaves

And as I close my eyes, inhale and breathe

I dare not remind myself that I stand alone amongst the trees

For the stars have put on a show for me

And I dare not give them the impression that I am not pleased

Stepping to the sound of the street

Snapping my fingers to my own beat

Entrenched in rhythm

Beats so deep they become as wondrous as a prism

The street lights light up the walk way

Encouraging me enticing me to lengthen my sway

Soon night will turn to day

And I’ll think to myself I may just have over done my stay

For the world awaits and many faces despise the way I play

So for now I will continue to dance in the dark

Until the world is ready to light up my park

unseen love

Born to breath

Born to please

Born to set souls free

But as I walk down this path

I can’t help but stop and see

That you were made for me

These words may only see this paper

And my feelings may only reach as far as the door

And when we meet again you may only stumble upon my smile

Without sight of the many miles you have already traveled along side me in my thoughts

In my mind we have traveled and conqured many seas

But in reality my love is simply a dying breed

And each day my words go un spoken

My heart grows impatient

Ripping my soul at the seams

Hoping that one day my heart will be caressed by thee
