am truly vexed by you

      I can’t tell if it’s in your smile

      Or if it’s the way you touch me

      Make a thirsty man walk one hundred miles

      In an arid desert where even mirages refuse to play

      Could it be I am falling in love with you

      You touched me in a place I never knew

      Open up my eyes like a newborn child

      You let me see for the first time and my first sight was you

      You’re my angel and my love

      I could never have dreamed of another besides you

      This thing we have has got to be from heaven above

      You are my Michelle Obama

      My hot little number

      My chérie amour

      And I adore you

      You are my sweet little flower

      My soul d’amor

      And I do not want to live without you

      Like a flower out of water, I would wilt

      With your touch, you give me power

      You shower me with a love that I can never grasp

      And never hope to ask why you love me so

      So I just am content to blame it on gravity

      Simply put, I am just meant to be close to you

      You are my Venus

      That star that guides me in the midnight sky

      And on my list of joys, you are reasons number one through nine

      (And number ten is to start from number one all over again)

      How do I tell you in any other way?

      Je t’aime

      Te amo

      Ti voglio bene

      Ani ohev otach

      Mo ni fe

      No matter how you spin it

      No matter what time or what day

      My heart still burns for you

      With a heat that only warms my yearning for you

      Like the moon thirsty for the midnight sky

      I forever long for you

      I never want to learn to be without you

      All that is to say…

      I could never tear my heart away from a love this good

      So, it’s got to be true

      I may not be your first or your only

      But all we have is this instant in time

      For tomorrow you might be gone

      Leaving me sitting solitary and forlorn

      But that doesn’t matter in the here and now

      While I can hear your laughter

      Feel your caress

      Or hold you for just a moment and see your smile

      I can’t say that I will never hurt you

      Or never make you cry

      I will never be unblemished

      And not always avoid all lies

      I know we are not perfect together

      Neither are we apart

      So I will not seek to hold you to a standard

      That will never be our norm

      I will always seek to elevate you to a place we never been before

      And if you ever stumble, I hope to be the hand to catch you before you fall

      I will love you

      And love you

      Deeper than any man under God’s grace

      Hold you closer than my tomorrow

      And try to always kiss you like it’s the last goodbye

      To look into your eyes in a way that you never have to wonder why

      I love you

      Billie Jean

      Billie Jean was not my lover

      She was just a girl that beat a boy

      And showed the world that the other half of the sky

      Was just as bright

      That’s what happens when strong girls stand up to become great women

      With indominable wills to fight

      Same hands made to cradle

      Can be a fist hard enough to beat back the wrong

      And strong enough to hold back the night if he won’t hang her stars

      Because angels can’t be heavenly through ceilings of glass

      And stereotypes that last way past feminist ideals

      Held victim to princess hopes and pink pony dreams

      And then there was Billie Jean

      That girl that was not my lover

      But a mother and a sister

      And always a daughter

      A woman standing firm

      Strong enough to beat a boy

      And take the world past just trying

      To a firm path to equality

      Those Damn Eyes

      hung low

      a head turned in the direction of a heart spurned

      forever thirsty for lost embraces

      and kisses that taste like tomorrow

      a brain stained with traces of hope’s demise

      legs that couldn’t blame fate for a destiny turned away

      arms without an excuse to hold on

      and lips that stayed firm

      but those damn eyes

      just wouldn’t let go

      they told the story in watery verses

      still pleading silently to say

      they would rather go blind

      than to see him walk away

      Mercy

      All the tears cried

      Can never dilute the blood spilled

      With thoughts so resolute, they gave birth to deeds

      Things lost in moments when blurred lines become stains

      Bodies claimed by the outline of chalk and police tape

      So many lost dates and loves

      Just because the only way out was a desperate path

      Across souls bent on revenge

      Deaf from the drums of basic respect

      A thing not earned but innate

      With eyes wide open and late from paranoia

      Too tired from running to see

      Mercy alone
