Do Not Go Don’t lose your soul so easily  It is too precious for this Don’t think if you escape you are free What you leave behind you will miss. I know it may seem there is a better place  And you can forget what you leave behind  But a different location won’t change what you face Anyway, is it ready for one so kind? A spirit like yours is, I know, rare Maybe this is something you don’t realize  Would you leave behind those who care? To let go those who your beauty prize? But, these words your actions can’t control I only want to let you know what I feel And let you know you may decide to go Then a woman lost whose heart was real.

Sonnet 348 (Your Radiance Show) This is the night whose stars most clearly shine Because my love the brightest of them all An earthly star, not Heaven’s, but mine Whose brilliance even angels does enthrall. And through the void your spirit I still feel No distance keeps a love like ours away And through your hold I learn all else is real The thought of you keeps my darkness far away. And so, the night can never grow too deep For on this earth the morning with you lives And when it comes, I know your heart still keep For as this world turns, your love still gives. So long your love is mine to always know The darkest night your radiance will show.

A Day at the Cape with You  The Cape has its pristine blue waters rushing to its crystal white sand While its majestic lighthouses beckon to the shore But its best treasure is you holding my hand In this earthly paradise want nothing more. That day when you drove beside me I can hardly describe Like an angel descending to comfort me And from your beauty this day did I imbibe So, my troubles from these magical moments free. And watching the ocean waves touching my feet And the warm sun caressing my skin  Only waiting for you to make my life complete  And this day’s warmth letting you in.  Driving while our music to our hearts did play Wishing this rhapsody never end A couple that the Cape could never keep at bay But to my shore your sweetness did send.  To: ST

Your Love See The night is going but I cannot sleep  What keeps me up at night? Is it that my troubles run too deep? Or because you, no longer, are in my sight? Well, that is one trouble I must confess  But why not sleep and see you in my dreams? Because in the morning waken to emptiness  Your shadow only highlighted while the sun gleams.  So, I stay awake here and feel this pain  Until my tired mind finally succumbs  And in this other realm see you again  Even though only your ghost comes.  What I need is that woman who is real The one who made me happy with her smile  Who I could hold close and her breath feel  Who made my life worthwhile. Instead, I am here with a simple line  And the night that beckons me Knowing that here you can never be mine  Then fight dreams hoping your love, in the day, see.
