Can I Hold You?

Can I hold you?
Can I look into your eyes?
Can I give you gentle kisses
Until I see you smile?

Oh yeah and I
Never saw
The things my heart has seen in you
The vision in my eyes

Can I talk to you?
Can I speak from soul to soul?
Can I listen to our inner song
Until I feel us fly?

Oh yeah and I
Never felt
Such things my spirit feels with you
The magic in our eyes

Can I dance with you?
Can I move from side side
Can we share the dance of life
Until we are in ecstasy....

Oh yeah and I
Never moved
Such gentle flowing oceans
The magic in our lives

How to Fall in Love (for a guy)

One girl
Will walk into your life
Your world
Will imperceptibly come alive
Your eyes
Will shine with glazed perception
Your soul
Is surprised by her perfection
Your hands
Will tremble when you touch her
Your heart
Will flutter when she laughs
Your mouth
Will not know how to speak
Because she's the only thought inside your head for the whole week
And your muscles make you crash into Lampposts in the street
And then
It's not a good idea to kiss her
Or you will always miss her
You will be unable to concentrate
On working at your papers
Love is like a temporary
Psychotic mental state
Then it's way too late ...

Written this morning 17-09-08 for someone very cool.
