Captive By You

You’ve got magical fingers knowing the tunes of my soul
Laying down my dreams onto the keys of an old piano
I watch your fingers grace each note and I fall in love with your hands
I’ve never been so captivated in my life -you’ve put me in a trance
You finish my song and I’m speechless –nothing to say
Words won’t come out –but I want to say
Don’t stop- never stop! I could watch you play forever
I would watch you play forever
I shiver from the chills you sent down my spine
They leave me wanting more – I need, I long, I pine
I pine for that sensation again and as if you had read my thoughts
Your fingers hypnotize me onceagain giving my desire exactly what it wants
A masquerade painted in the color of music
A fantasy of shades unknown to man that I choose to pick
The sound’s so beautiful I want to cry
A single tear falls from my eye
You keep playing undulating in motion
Tuning out the world and unaware of my emotion
You’re playing my heartstrings winning me over with each measure
You prevail with no endeavor
You don’t need my love you don’t even care
You don’t even know that you’ve stripped me bare
My heart is wide open, but it’s obvious to see
The piano is your only love you have no more room for me

Hidden Beauty


Camouflaged in this life
She blends in with the world
Ebbed out of the limelight
Almost made invisible, because of the flashiness of others
Just one more face in a sea of cloned people
Nothing special, nothing noticeable, nothing memorable
She looks just like everyone else
Shy, quiet, nothing to shout about, but nothing to cry about either
Just ordinary
A hidden beauty
That when she is noticed-
She’s unique, oddly beautiful, almost perfect
She has her flaws, but she’s better than most
A camouflaged beauty, that will one day make one lucky man very happy
