How do you do that?
Just stand there
And
Take my breath away?
Make me stare at that gorgeous mouth
The one I want to kiss

Tiger, Tiger are you alright?
In the fairways of the night

IN MY MIND

I waited for you there
In my mind
When I was that little girl
Sitting on my dads lap.

Look at me like that again
you know the look.
The one with those hungry eyes
with an eagerness
that never lies.

Kiss me like that again

I never dared to dream of you
the white knight in shining armor
one who might complete, me
the perfect dream.
The one you try and recapture

Your mouth,
beautiful harbor of
pale pink lips,
swollen
with cinnamon kiss
and velvet ease.

the whole world
stand still.
Today I saw

eyes as genuine as the ocean,
