Love is An Illusion

My type of guy
comes to life everyday
in my memory

He is alive and can be
found on the streets of
Virginia

But I don't think
he realizes his
positioned place
in my history

My type of guy
came to my rescue
like he said he would
and even though
the expertise eluded him
he did shine

Nowadays
he's a picture
captured
hid and displayed
because some days that's all
I have.

 

Switch

I can do it just like that
especially when the flood gates
weren't opened yet
I can do it just like that
the flip of the wrist
the blink of an eye

Love is real
soft, pliable and resilient
but love is not for sale
not from this gal

One cannot take my emotions
lightly although I'm a loving, giving spirit
the Agape of me is the breezy
but the heart of my love takes
ethics

I can do it just like that
switch direction, attention
and affection
One can be left with the more
than empty that we started with 

Sleep Watcher

I watched him sleep
A thousand times
In my dreams
And once,
In reality
'Cause upon
Awakening
He disappeared
From me
I wanted him
In a lustful way
But I desired to hold
Him in my. Heart
For eternity
So I closed my eyes
Regularly
And tight
No peeking
As I didn't give
An open invite to
Jeopardy
To kill what might be
Someday
I watched him sleep
A thousand times
In my dreams
And once,
In reality!
