Promise

Again, I open my eyes slowly
to the first ray of light shooting from the morning sun
through the opening in my window drape
and again I entreat that ray of golden promise
to empty its light into my heart
with the promise of fresh dreams
and a new heart to love
one wanting to give
one soulful and caring
one willing to see me in mine
oh peace, beautiful peace
pour yourself into my heart
see the love that needs to feel
find me and hold me once again
how I do miss your calm

Peppermint and Chocolate

The taste of your kiss flavored with peppermint and chocolate
dances wildly through my senses on this cold winter's night
while the warmth of your fingers that are touching my skin
assure me at this moment that loving you is right
for me, in my heart, there is a peaceful grace
and nothing could satisfy me any more tonight
than the honest look of love on your face
