Poem: Falling In Love (With You) - Nassau, Bahamas

Deep in my heart
I know that something is going on;
It's too mysterious to be questioned,
and too good to be wrong.
Thoughts of you,
omens that guide me to tomorrow;
The same thoughts that direct my mind
in the midst of discomfort and sorrow.
My heart and soul are happily imprisoned
within the touch of your hand.
I feel perfect pleasure in your embrace,
and can't help feeling that I am yours to command.

Every night I admire a picture of you
that I keep lying by my bed,
And every night I keep wishing
that you were there instead.
To lay against my warm body
and whisper sweet affectionate words in my ears.
To feel myself capitulate to your touch,
and become your teddy bear.
Each fiber of my being
aching for the stroke of your fingertips;
Worsened by the insatiable desire
for the press of your mouth against my lips.
Constantly wondering if your thoughts
are including me too,
That's what falling in love with you
was bound to do.
