On the Wishing Side Of Love
In this life I’ve spent a lot of time
Wishing for what I’ve passed up
And for what I’ve given up on
When the opportunity looks me in the eye
I seem to go blind
But I can’t do it this time
I have to keep on keeping on
And when the opportunity knocks
I have to answer the lighted door
As I sit here looking at her
Long slender hands
Soft as snow colored face
I feel something growing in my heart
And I can feel the glow it gives off
Bright like the sun and her eyes
The glow grows larger in my soul
And the glow starts to heat
The color red, the rose petal softness of her lips
I was lucky one night not too long ago
A beautiful woman came to my house
Sat for hours and talked, put up with me
When it was time to say goodbye
I knew that I wanted to kiss her
And thanks to the Gods, she allowed it
Then the night was over
She pulled away and it was time for bed
But, I was wrong
Minutes of happiness passed as I thought of her lips
And suddenly, there was a knock at the door
Afraid for police, I slowly opened the door
To my surprise it wasn’t them
But another Jailer of sorts
And she took my heart captive, still has it I hope
“Alexandria” was the first thing she said
With her eyes shining bright, I could tell
That was not what she wanted, nor did I
It made me feel joy to see her again
But my eyes couldn’t imagine
That soon I’d be in ecstasy once again
She told me that on her way back
I thought “On your way back”
She had gotten the answer
When her lips touched mine
It was all over then
And now I just wait, for her fear to subside
If I had my next wish, I think it would be
To have this goddess standing next to me
So that I could kiss her, and show her I care
I’d hold her forever, right next to my heart
And when she would cry, I’d dry up her tears
Watch her realize her dreams, and heal all her scars
As I wait, I still have to dream
That someday I’ll win her
For this woman’s heart is the best prize of all.
