The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

To look into your eyes, Feel your hand in mine, To see you laugh, See you smile, To hold you tightly, Hear you breathe, Rub your back, Watch you sleep, To buy you gifts, Take you out, Write you poems, Joke around, To wash the dishes, Cook and clean, Talk to you after work, Do the laundry, To take care of the kids, Take care of the dogs, Go on errands, Shop at the mall, To feel your lips upon mine, A soft and gentle touch, Filled with passion, Filled with love, To fall asleep in your arms, Relaxation at its peak, Waking up filled with joy, As you lay right beside me, To make you laugh, To make you smile, To make you happy, That’s all I want.

"Connection" A feeling strikes me, As her eyes penetrate deeply into mine, All other persons and sounds drowned out, The crowded room becoming just she and I, With every word I utter, Her focus is solely upon me, Questions come my way, As I peak her curiosity, All my jokes stimulate laughter, Both the good and the bad, A seemingly permanent smile on her face, Whenever I'm around, She briefly looks down, Her cheeks redden, As another looks over and opens his mouth, Insinuating we're together, My heart quickens, As she touches my arm, My smile never leaves my face, When she's around, Deeply into her eyes I stare, Further into my heart she travels, Connecting with the woman for whom I long, Never wanting the moment to pass.
