And I Love Her

I thought
We were equal
Magdalene and I
She's always
by my side,
With thesame
Years devoured,
From friends
To best friends,
A common bond
In being closer,
And closer,
And I love her;
From friends
To lovers,
And I love her,
I love her.

Expendable Name

I have a name
An expendable name
A name with a million meaning
My expendable name
More powerful than
Any other name
I have a life, an expendable life
A life full of uncertainties
A life I gave up for you.
My life which never shall know
No end.

What Have You Done To Me

What have you done to me
I feel like I'm losing my mind
Though we hardly talked
Each time I think of you
I can think of nothing else
If I must survive?
I must run away from you
To a far away place
Is there any far away place
Where no love is?

I Think I Love You

What I remembered about that day
Was everything I dont want to say
Even if I said it, would it make you stay?
I stil think of you til this day
Even if I really dont want to say
I really think I love you
This is why I gave my everything to you.

A Photograph in the Observer

This is a photograph
Of I the observer
I can see my life
Very clearly
And my life is right
I will not lie, nor steal
Nor kill to get to the top
For my life is already
On top
And my dignity and
My strife to continue
Living rightly
Keeps me there.

When You Come

When you come, passing me by
Blushing over the way I smile
BUTTERFLIES will fly from my eyes
True love isn't easy to come by.

I have looked the whole town
Searching for love all around
But I keep stumbling about
Falling always on the wrong hands.

Love is Devine

Cupid O Cupid,
Hunting all day long;
Bring me a love,
Wise or stupid;
Beautiful or ugly;
Love covereth all.
My love is divine;
One of a kind,
It covereth
All the inperfections
In your life, in my life
Let us love forever
This love is devine.

Fantasies

Do not tell me friend
How you found your
Love dead
Looking into your eyes
I can tell you're yearning
For the world far beyond
My height
But I know too, fantacies
May come to reality.
Just keep dreaming
And I'll be here watching.
It's my philosophy.

Like Obama and America

My dear Naomi
Have you been loving me?
Like President Obama
And America
Have you been faithful to me?
.
My dear Naomi,
What would you have me say?
I have been loving you my
whole life.
Like America and its president,
I have been faithful to you.

A Scene at the Doctors Office

At the doctors office
I was scared to hear his words,
His words to me about you;
Made me lose my manhood
And I cried for you my wife,
And you where going to face
The surgeon's knife,
For you I knelt and prayed,
Hoped you came home
with a new life.
