"You Got Me So Pegged"


Your voice smiles
like a warm embrace
on the phone and
I’m laughing
you make my day .
I cannot hide or
recede to some inner space
away from the sadness
that lay around this place
till I met you..
Coincidence, you think?
A story, a joke
your softest stroke
so calming to me,
A friend to soothe
life's mysteries,
who understands
My deepest needs
before I can.
A friend who listens
and talks up a storm,
protects himself
because your romantic heart
is beautiful and warm.
Ready to love me,
as on a dare,
someone who is always there.
A loyal friend
unselfish true blue.
Your casual power
awakening me
engaging me
touching me
caressing my thoughts,
warming my body
getting lost in each other
hours upon end..
I'm falling in love with my friend.
I embrace this with you -
You bring out the best in me.
Your presence in my life
you give new purpose
and make it so worthwhile..
I love where this is going with you,
it's new everyday.
An addictive heat of love
it shimmers
lightly off the deepest ocean
like currents
on and on we go (it goes).
Dive into the water.
How deep is it? Reeeallllly.
What began as friends
feels like much more.
Your green eyes light up
like twin moons,
your lips smile full
smartass comments
laughter ensues.
You filled me up today.
Your words like arrows
aim at my heart
exploding,
filled with love
patience and understanding,
finding my deepest place
easing aches within.
Your thumbprint upon my soul
erasing clouds away
within my heart
Growing day by day.

You got me so pegged.
