EXCERPTS FROM "A LOOK ON THE INSIDE OF ME"
THE SPECIALNESS OF YOU
Page 2
A pair of twin dimes dialed my heart,
I'm so glad you called.
You thought of me as I of you
We must be sharing the same moment.
Across the land lines, into my ear,
Flowed the softest of soft, sweetest
Of sweet ... (continued to end)
GIFT
Page 3
I didn't have to see you to confirm
The feelings you must have felt
In my heart I've seen your face
A hundred times over
How can I ever forget you smile?
With winter in limbo between the rains
And sunny skies ... (continued to end)
A PART OF ME
Page 4
Moon beams for my harp
Silver for my lute, to play
In the fields
In the setting sun
To look at you
So soothing
Yet so moving
You're the focus of my heart
The reason that I need
Kind ... (continued to end)
YESTERDAY'S LOVE
Page 5
Your eyes mirrored the clues to your
womanly secrets the night you came to me
I gave you my love, together we bade
your innocence goodbye
I watched as you metamorphosed before
my eyes
"Farewell sweet maiden, farewell"
Retracing the feelings teeming in my
heart, never once have I veered from
our dream ... (continued to end)
I'M GLAD YOU SAID HELLO
Page 6
First impressions are said to be
everlasting, indicative of a
positive or negative
I knew you were someone that I
wanted to meet. Our eyes spoke
of whispers in the night and
my heart was ment to beat of you
There I sat, a beacon, ... (continued to end)
THROUGH MY EYES

Your love has touched me ...
Butterfly seeking leaf to rest above ground
Green fields ... (continued to end)
THIS TIME
Page 8
This time that has brought us together has
Ment what mere words can't quite express
Sharing with you, a space in your day
Has made mine twice over.
I swam in your fragrance with your voice in
My ear, yes ... I yearn for more
Once again I found you ... (continued to end)
TWILIGHT
Page 9
Seeing you for the very first time
Wondering who you were, and questioning
What my eyes were revealing
The sparkle in your eyes
Your cheeks aglow, sent me into
The depths of a spin to which
There was no end in sight.
Now that I know you ... (continued to end)
TYFFANI
Page 11
You're my first born ...
You came to me out of love
A miracle from the All Mighty
I'll never forget your purity
As you held me in your dark blue eyes
I was the first in your new world and you
The first in mine.
You're so beautiful of a child, the essense of
What a heavenly baby should be.
At once I knew ... (continued to end)

SLEEP WALKER

I placed a call into your dreams
As sleep befell your sweetness
Stepping inside your nestled state
I loved you ... (continued to end)
SONG
Page 15
You choose to care for me and I for you
Inspite of our circumstance
Fresh in my mind is the day I first met you
Your beauty and sensual stride
Ignited a pagan memory of another
Place in time
I had eyed you earlier ... (continued to end)
YOU NEED TO KNOW

"Let not a days crossing
dissolve into tomorrow
whereby I hide ... (continued to end)
IT GOES TO SHOW
Page 18
Alone? ...
But not really alone???
Though hard to recall
It's there,
Somewhere
In the distant mind,
That
Happier time, when
You look at her, or when
You look at him.
Now,
Something new
Has taken it's place
Like the prick of a thorn, but ... (continued to end)
THUS IS MY PASSION
Page 20
Layers of cloth shield
The passage of my piercing eyes
I'm the match that sets aflame the
Wick of desire in your heart
Your movements dance among the shadows
Cast about by the fires
Beneath your footsteps
Intrigued ... (continued to end)
SU-FU
Page 21
A love born beneath a foreign sky
Came to me from the other side
In the sweetness of you
What else can I do?
To show how much I care.
We move as one, in silk and satin lace
Our love entwined, a mist that blankets the
Earth
That blankets my mind.
I'm very much aware, that there is much more
To us than meets the eye, even ... (continued to end)
CRIS
Page 22
I hope you are at peace
I never knew you left me.
So few years you had, this time around
Oh smile for me
I want to hear you laughter.
You eyes had that certain sparkle!
You were a spirited one, with great
Determination. I watched you blossom
Into a fine young woman,
Then ...
The cry of your own offspring.
"Where did time go?" ... (continued to end)

Come to me this night
Yes, allow yourself to steal away.
Ours is a production of destiny ... (continued to end)
GG
Page 25
Nights of late are hard for me to find the sleep
And peace I need.
Upon every corner, beneath every stone lies your
Beauty and the reminiscence of our last embrace.
I treasure our secret places, stolen time and
Conversations.
Our plans have brought only happiness joy and
Bliss, at this very moment sweet GG, it's you
That I miss.
Now picture yourself high above the earth
With the horizon in your deep brown eyes
It's just on the brink of morn
The stars in retreat, ... (continued to end)
ONE MILLION WORDS
Page 26
Somewhere there lies one million words yet unsaid
to surrender unto you the perception of my heart
With you in my life ... (continued to end)
BELIEVE
Page 27
Rest has eluded me many moons have passed
leaving me impervious to time
Ink, parchment, lamp aglow, quill in hand
the words began to flow
You are on my mine I wanted you to know
As you read my thoughts take a moment to
believe, believe once again that wishes
do come true, for you're the result of
a wish made long ago, ... (continued to end)
MOMENT
Page 28
In my minds eye ...
A special time
A special place
On the eve of "The Near Future"
I envision the moment when the whisper
of your eyes captivate the setting
By candle light ... (continued to end)
HAVE YOU SEEN MY VALENTINE?
Page 29
Have you seen my Valentine?
Oh, tell me, which way did she go?
I wonder if she's alright tonight?
You see ...
I said some things
I should have left unspoken
Did some things, I'm so ashamed
Please, watch over her while she
Slumbers this night
I closed my eyes to her wants
To her needs, I carried a white cane
I deafened my ears to her cry,
Changing the locks to her tomorrows.
Isn't it funny? ... (continued to end)
UPON A CRESCENT MOON
Page 30
The light of the crescent moon
Playfully teased the Venus in you
As the delicate shimmer ... (continued to end)
HAVE YOU STEPPED ON A GOOD-GUY LATELY?
Page 31
It's a special love, this love that I have for
My friend. The kind of love that is here to stay
A love that won't betray.
So rare and hard to find, people search their lives
Over to no avail.
A few have felt it's gentleness and have even seen
It's dazzle. Others, through presumption, let it
Trickle through their fingers as if to hold a
Precious liquid in a perforated spoon.
From the aquifer of consideration, faithful, open
Minded and true, flows loyalty with a freedom
Come high or low tide, for the one I choose.
At last When I finally find her, will she be worthy
Of my depth?
We all know, oh how very well ...
This attitude is reflected throughout the many
Cultures of the earth, that GOOD-GUYS finish last
Here, lies their own reserve.
Why does this cliche ... (continued to end)
LET ME STUMBLE

Let me stumble, let
Me fall. Mistakes ... (continued to end)
CPR
Page 33
Three little letters has brought us together
never before has simplicity ment so much to me
Just three little letters aligned me with you
Bringing new vistas into view
When I look into your eyes, I swim in pools of
brown. Oh, I love to take my time
That familiar warmth and gentle stirring within
me draws me near to you
"May I solicit a kiss?"
I've told the story again and again, each time
my love brings forth a new perception, of how
three little letters changed our worlds, now
the old, lost and forgotten is all anew
Three little letters sent me your love, an
introduction to a living dream. The girl
who appears to me in my hours of slumber is now
the lyrics of my memories
Deep within, where pother my cares and whims,
abides compassion, love, ... (continued to end)

Unseen to eyes the
Earth spins on threads of gold. A

SHOW HER
Page 35
What you seek is not the unattainable
Project to her the love you feel
With calm endurance, show her the state of
your heart
She'll think of you in the wee hours
where there is only room for her
plus one
What is life?
Multiple chances. Take one or you will never
know, for only a precious few have felt
the parallax of Cupid's arrow
Face the facts
You know you want her. For the sake of
speculation, suppose she wants you just as much?
"Could she really?"
"Do you think she could really want me too?"
Today I sat on the edge of my chair
expending an enormous quantity of energy
trying to be confident, hoping that my gift
to you would not be met with rejection
Finally I received an account ... (continued to end)

On a summer's night clearing
I found you staring out into
The distant clusters
You said to me that our love
Was like that shooting star ... (continued to end)

I know I'm your soft glow ...
You tan easily under my gaze
We speak without words
That takes a special combination.
I know how to love you, ... (continued to end)
