IF ONLY YOU KNEW
by Mindy Shultz
© October 13, 2001
If only you knew what your smile does to me,
how your touch makes my heart skip a beat.
If only you knew how much you mean to me,
and how much I really care.
If only you knew what thoughts run through my mind all hours of the night,
or how you never leave my dreams.
If only you knew how you make me feel,
and how I never want to let you go.
If only you knew how much I love you...
sincerely and completely,
and how I would do anything for you
to keep you in my arms,
near me at all times.
...Oh, if only you knew.....

GIVE ME A CHANCE
by Mindy Shultz
© October 13, 2001
I can be your shoulder to cry on,
an escape from the world around you,
the one you call when you need advice,
and someone to dry your tears.
I can be your friend,
your safe haven,
your dreams,
and your love.
I can be the one who holds you
when no one else will.
Someone who sticks up for you
even when you're wrong,
and the only person to come in
when the whole world goes out.
I can be there
to help you up when you fall,
to heal your wounds,
and to take your sorrows away.
I can be your one,
your only,
your true and passionate love.
I can be all this and more..
Your hopes, dreams, and wishes combined.
But only....if you give me a chance.

THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL
by Mindy Shultz
© October 13, 2001
Did I ever tell you how you live in me?
Every waking moment, and even in my dreams.
I cant escape this feeling now, I know it must be true.
For every time I close my eyes, all I see is you.
Your smile seems to follow me, your eyes cant be dismissed.
I watch you from a distance and my mind wanders amidst.
Do you know that late at night when no one is around,
I think of how it could be if my love was ever found?
I'd die a hundred trillion deaths to have you in my arms.
I'd hold you close and make sure you were far away from harm.
I know my love will not be seen and never will you know,
just how much you mean to me and how I cant you so.
all I can do is watch and dream and hope that some day soon,
you might have a feeling that could make you love me too.
Until that day I'll sit and wait, yearning for your touch.
The only thing I know is that, my dear, I love you much.

Desire
by Lindsay Clark
© December 7, 2001
To fall in love, in love you fall, falling hopelessly,
drowning in my own head my own thoughts my own desires. . .
the desires that I am afraid to speak about
the desires I keep closeted in my head. . .
the desires that have consumed me, or maybe I have consumed myself.
even my dream world has consumed me. . .
desire a desire so strong that it follows me everywhere. . .
no where to run no where to hide. . . no where. . .
nothing can stop these emotions. . . they flow so effortlessly. . .
effortlessly flowing through my soul. . .
my soul is slowly drowning in the prison I have created. . .
with no chance of escape I must face my desires. . .
I must embrace them or hide from myself for forever. . .
forever hiding. . . who am I kidding I cannot hide. . .
I cannot run. . . that's not my habit not my way. . .
so I turn and I face desire. . .
I look it in the face and I am speechless. . .
caught in desires eyes. . . I look away. . .
I gain my composure again and I look up at desire. . .
desire already knows. . .
