Through the gentle toned vibrations
Of six strings beneath my hands
And the way from them I try to pull
Every bit of me I am
From the symphony playing in my head
And it's ninety-six pieces strong
I try to get the right words sewn
Into a single song
Though the lyrics might come easily
The melody might not
It's like wandering through a story
That doesn’t have a plot
And so very many tales we have to tell
All laid out as we weave upon our loom
From those many places life has let us dwell
From that hospital into those motel rooms
Some times were for exploring
Some times we found ourselves
Sometimes we got distracted
Now and then by things on shelves
But in every situation
From the freight cars to the ships
Being consumed by infatuation
With pirates swords and shapely hips
I lived each day for the memory
Sometimes a loss sometimes a gain
But it isnt all about the past
Or the places I have been
But through the gentle toned vibrations
Of six strings beneath my hands

I was looking for my smokes
And I found my old Bic lighter
Everything was made all right there
Behind the seats there in my truck
I was waiting for your phonecall
And I lit one and inhaled
The white smoke left my nostrils
And I trusted things to luck
I sat down at my computer
With the ashtray made from glass
Something wanted so to come out
So I let my mind fly true
As the words find way to paper
It might be a story or a caper
I think I just want to deliver
All the time I want with you
Like sitting by the poolside
With our feet dipped in the water
Maybe with my son and daughter
Holding hands there in the sun
Or spending sweat there on the dancefloor
While the swinging band did scream
All the while I'm in heaven
As all my moments with you seem
Or walking slowly by the river
Arm in arm you by my side
As the sun dips lower slowly
And romance in shadows hides
I steal a kiss from willing lips
As a barge and tugs float by
I am lost far inside magic
As the sunset fills the sky
There's a journey that together
We try to travel when we can
One that makes you quite the woman
And you remind me I'm a man
Sometimes it seems so far off
But it's a truly magic place
And someday I hope to pack my bags
And live in your embrace

The shadows
On the wall
From what the
Candlelight
Has captured
Create another
World
Like the
Moonlight on
The bay
They bring
Memories
From the past
With the scents from
The wick burning
Like the
Way my world
Was turning
When
Your lips
Held
Mine fast
We were standing
There amongst
The trees,
The wonders
God made with
Artistry
The faint sounds
Of the waters
Passed us as
I held you
Tightly to
Me
The softness of
Your silky skin
Such magic there
Beneath my hands
The world went by
Unnoticed
As our tongues danced
In a wonderland
And as the
Cool breeze
Blew our
Hair
I felt
Privileged
Being there
My arms wrapped
Tightly
Around your waist
As my hunger
Your lips
Sought to taste
And still a moment
Captured here
One ended far too
Soon
I’ve placed in this
Special rhyme
Our moments in
My memory
Of our kiss
This
Afternoon

Once upon a time
Life was such a nice rhyme
Everyone was a poet
Every glass filled with Moet
And the moments of every
Day filled with magic and song

That seems so long ago
When my hands held a Martin
And the fog rolled up the river
While the seas they were parting
And the notes that I played echoed
While the tide would roll in so strong

What ever happened to
The rainbow that landed
Right next to the freeway
Did we forget about that pot of gold?
And when we found our paradise
Why did the real estate sign say sold?

I think we passed Camelot
Burning rubber down the highway
There was too much to do
To slow down to smell a rose
Now some years have gone by but I refuse to
Admit that the flames have grown cold

I have had the good fortune
To know some priceless friends
When I was chasing the wind
And adventures round the globe
Did I stay on tour too long and did I let go
Of something I should have embraced

Forever is a long time still
Just like I suppose it has always been
Laying on a beach in Jamaica
Steel drums on the breeze
Drinking rum while the full moon shown
I still have that with me in a special place

One day I woke up there in Kentucky
California still burns in this native sons blood
I guess decisions and sailing
Took some kind of derailing
But I still think I’m lucky
And everyday the sun still rises

Now I still know that
I have some things to say
And a cheap guitar here when there’s music to play
And I still drink wine until I’m feeling fine
Even though I know my ocean is so far away
Life is still full of surprises

What ever happened to
The rainbow that landed
Right next to the freeway
Did we forget about that pot of gold?
And when we found our paradise
Why did the real estate sign say sold?

What an incredible tour I was on
Though we still have our smiles
All the money is gone
I guess it’s time to start over
Time to dig in again
But I know that forever it’s true

That adventure knows where I’m living these days
And it is waiting for the moment
That’s growing on the vine to be ripe
Like the return of the summer wind
Adventure and I will be out riding again
And maybe we’ll be looking for you

My Life

What would
My life be like without
The part where
You came in?
Well...
For starters I
Think I know where
To begin
I wouldn’t see
The colors
Of the rainbow in
The sky
Nor watch
A flock of birds go south
And wave as
They go by
I’d never know
Why rain exists
Nor hear the ocean
Through the mist
And roses just
A hobby
A flower that
Needs water
When I had not
The time to bother
I’d never know
The joy in seeing
A child’s
First hello
And never see
The wonder in
The way they love me so
The house it’s
Just a place to sleep
And letters
Never meant
To keep
And every day
No one is winning
‘Cause the world
Just keeps right
On spinning
I’d never have
Received the perfect
Kiss from such a face
That fills my daydreams
And livens up the nights
Here in this place
And never know
How powerful
Is a simple hug
And mistakes were
Swept under the rug
I’d never quite
Appreciate
The spark in me
Your touch creates
When fingers drifting
Through some hair
My own
(Whats left)
Is all that’s there
I wouldn’t know
The pleasure there
Of drowning in
The gaze
Of eyes so blue
I melt
And then I ooze
Yes quite
A liquid phase
And when I lay
Me down to sleep
I share a book
With text to reap
And hope the plot is
Running deep
With but my
Interest to keep
The world is pretty
But is it art
If you and I
Had missed our part
And though it’s now
I want to start
I never had
A role
Which I so want to
Extol
But I could never
Be a better or find
A finer goal
Than to be the man
You’ve wanted
And the time apart
Has haunted
Me right to
My very soul
I love you with
My heart and hope
I never find the end
For you are the best
And last I’ll know
And always my best friend
©MM

Morning time will find you
With a heart that needs a friend
You've got one here use mine
While yours is on the mend
For all kinds of crazy reasons
Some spend hurt like a Midas touch
And they just don't seem to see the color
Of the pain that you feel so much
There doesn't need to be a reason
It wouldn't matter anyway
All the nerves inside your lovely heart
Have unraveled some today
But maybe outside the sun is up
And driving the clouds all away
And if you smile in a short while
It will be beautiful today
You know my shoulders are broad enough
If you want to rest your head
And if I could you know I would
Spend the day with you instead
But things will find a road to you
For every rainbow you ever dreamed
And today will be a memory
Of a past that was redeemed
So if you need a friend today
You know I'm not too hard to find
Because a friend in need needs a friend indeed
And you're always somewhere on my mind

Poem

In the absence of other
Then thoughts I suppose
And your touch I miss so
As my computer knows
I will stay near right now
And create you some prose
In a type that might rhyme
As it comes and it goes
My days full with stalking
An elusive prey
And my sanity threatens
To leave me someday
Here are a few thoughts of you
From a mind far away
I miss your touch
Like I mentioned above
It might be quite redundant
But for the one that I love
My head is so full
Of this amorous stuff
And sometimes what I say
I can’t say enough
I miss your hellos
And I miss your good-byes
I miss the scent of your neck
And to gaze in your eyes
To stroke your fine hair
And rub your burdens away
What more of a future need I
But to be by your side everyday
Though it’s well past sundown
And the day's warmth is gone
You live in my mind
Every noon dusk and dawn
And if anywhere near
Lays a more truthful part
Is that you never have
To search for my heart
For with my family it lives
Though I’m not sure in which room
Perhaps down with the laundry
Though that I wouldn’t assume
But it’s there close beside you
And new without
It will help ease your worries
And allay all your doubt
And the day can’t be far
That I’m looking to
Where I’ll spring here
From Dante’s
And Be there
With you

Dreaming, it may be
Something quite easy for me
Hopes and dreams are the fox
Hunted down to the box
That is wrapped like the gifts
Beneath the Christmas tree
But they are not limited
Nor held to one day
Where we send cards just to say
Thank you so much
For you were thinking of me
For at least the promise of one day
Hopes are the yearnings
We hold deep inside
Our secret desires held so close
Dreams are a place where we
Discover our wishes
Like the shore is discovered by the tide
If we were ruled by our passions
We might run away
From responsibility and expectations
But while the heart of a child might
Be found inside once in a while
When we think we know we can find a way
As we’ve logged years behind us
In a manner we’ve grown
We try to live like we ought to
And try to behave like we’re shown
But we discover the life that we live
If we hang onto it, it is our own
I have been here now long past
Thirteen times a thousand days
Sometimes I like to learn new things
Sometimes I am set in my ways
Like a ship that I’ve sailed around the world
I put an experienced hull into new currents and bays
But I know I’m not that reckless
Not near like I sometimes pretend
If there is a pirate inside me
His heart is gentle and pure
Although he has to give a show now and then
He can be scary to see but he will see the dreams to the end
And this pirate was captured you know
By a senorita from a faraway port
Somehow their maps wove together
Bound with love and forever
Rediscovering love found together
They keep on sailing on a journey of sorts
And I know it seems for
Such a very long time now
That our dreams will remain only when we’re asleep
But time has taught me that if we hold on to them tightly
Those dreams that we hold are the ones that we keep
And they all will come true some how
Please know that I love you
Like a love never seen
Like the way the summer breeze seems to surround
All the skin that we show
That has the summer suns glow
I love you every minute and each moment between
©MM

Well thank you (blush)

Our lips met
For just a moment today
I had
Hoped that they
Might

We spent the day being alive
Feeling the sun on our faces
I wish
That all of our laughter had
Lasted into the night

But the warmth
That you gave to me
You softly left it
Right there
On my smile

Who would have ever
Guessed that this gift that
You left would make me warm
Inside for
Such a long while

And I got to gaze in your
Eyes lovely pools as vast
As the skies
And see the promise that I’d
Hoped to find there

Holding hands, sharing time
As the wondrous moments
We held onto
In the last of
The warm summers air

Our lips met
For just a moment today
I had
Hoped that they
Might

©MM

Thank you Ladies, that means a lot to hear :)

Our Lips Met


It was our third time
That we filled each others view
A dozen roses just for you
As you placed them in a vase because
They gazed at you and your beauty was
You were a vision like an angel
With those sweet eyes I would look to
And then our lips met
In a moment I was
Swept so far away
Your passion it had found me
And I felt all of you surround me
And carry me to a place so sweet
I never want to go away
Our hands were
Like a bright glow all around us
Where we tried intensely
To discover all about each other
Our perfumes joining in the darkness
The lotion made our skin like one
As we pulled each other closely
Your skin sent electricity
All through this body I call me
And you drew me tightly to you
Like a magnet and the steel do
As our passions climbed from under cover
And passions climbed inside each other
As though nothing lay between us two
Two hearts ran and ran to win
With frantic fanning of the fire within
All the sensations so delicious
As we felt complete as one
Our hearts so close together that
Their beating pushing us faster
Like the breeze on the sail of canvas
Our tongues were pressed
Together tightly as they danced like
Timeless lovers while
The world had gone away
It was just ours in which to play
And upon a cloud we lay with only
Warmth and sunshine in our smiles
As I ran my fingers through
Your hair and discovered the same
Beauty there as my fingertips discovered
While my hands wandered everywhere
And your cheek so soft upon my
Touch as my lips and tongue met
Yours who not at all shy answered
When I felt your pleasing hips
Meet mine and mine responded
Like the pages meet inside a book
That has been completely read
And they are then pressed so tight
Together and remain there side by side
Until the cover opens for a second look
As the feelings from this evening live
Inside me and your taste is still
Upon me my fingers
Feel your nipples still between them too
That place we went together I
Will chart a course for it is there
Where I dream that
We might linger
©MM
