LYRICS
When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
You’re still the one I love, mmm, yeah
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
You’re still the one I love, mmm, yeah
Looks like we made it
Look how far we’ve come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday
Look how far we’ve come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday
They said, “I bet they’ll never make it”
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together still going strong
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together still going strong
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss good night
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss good night
Ain’t nothin’ better
We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
They said, I bet they’ll never make it
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together, still going strong
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together, still going strong
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
You’re still the one
Yeah (you’re still the one)
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
I’m so glad we made it
Look how far we’ve come my baby
Look how far we’ve come my baby

An Ode to an Ode
I wish I knew where it went wrong
This song is a lie
I tell myself
to keep warm.
You cheated, you lied
You made a mockery of our
love
Shared in a twin-bed,
producing a boy-child.
They said it would never last
I did not know
That a viper’s tooth
was hidden in your
kiss.
Lies, lies
The bitter taste of truth
stuck in my
mouth
twisting my
smile with whisky and razor blades.
You will always be the one
The one
The one
The one
The one.
Fooled.
Raise a glass,
for this ode
captured in amber,
forever young,
A fresh and beautiful lie to behold.
My Danny, Danny dear is still the one.
He believed in me
when others caged my free.
Five years now dear.
And I we have nothing to fear.
And they said it wouldn’t last.
But with your common sense
And my book learning
We’ll keep the tongues burning
That question our love.
Dionysus’s Madrigal
Madrigals create me
as my words speak to you
reveling twin flames
we knew we were one.
Fires in the street took you
you saved me anyway
crazy daylight silences
whispered voices calmed.
Dionysus dreamt of us
jazzed we played our nights
dawn bemused woke us
you own me; you’re mine.
I smell Greek mythology in your poem
Rhapsody of dappling light
in a world gone mad
you’re still the flame
rekindle in rage
of my dumbfounded days..
Halcyon nights musing
On horizons glow
naked thoughts bewildered
in your warm kisses flow
begets the best of me.
I would never belong.
To him, her, them, me.
I couldnt connect
When would you see?
Relegated to the background
I felt alone, aloof
The proverbial wallflower
Was my only truth
But you tried so hard
To break down my walls
To make me feel loved
To make me walk tall
& slowly but surely
You made me believe
You gave my loneliness
A welcome reprieve
& now I belong
But only to you
As I kiss you forever
Can you feel it too
Very romantic. Kudos!
FOREVER
In the embers
of what i thought was
lost i dance to the
drama of our first meet.
It wasn’t love at first
but the sizzling sight made
it something to love
and cherish even when people hide.
We’ve broken rules made by men
but there rules seem to seize so
beautiful feel i feel for thee-
You’re still the one.
