My Love

Glowing like the early morning sun 
Subtle like 12% alcoholic rum
Poco-a-poco, I didn't know what hit me
Until your love saturated me

I need you like a heart needs a beat.
You be the cure to my feat 
Your love is all I need to feel complete.
No man contest,  no man Compete

Come live in my heart and pay no rent.
Use all the space but leave no dent
place all your eggs in this basket,  place a bet, 
I'll contain you with no regret


Our love  is a journey; of cause! 
Starting at forever, and ending at never.
Twill take eternity to break us 
I doubt if it even has the liver


I will love you until the stars go out
, and the tides no longer turn
Above you, still, like in a wrestling bout
KK. come over,  it's your turn


The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
The best person to grow old with is one another 
We won't have to bother,  our love knowns no borders 
We could fly away on wings with feathers 


You shark me like old wine
Knock me down like fever
You may hold my hand for a while
, but you hold my heart forever.


I am happiest when I’m right next to you.
Every time I see you, I fall in love all over again.
I may not be your first date, kiss or love…but I want to be your last everything.
I love you – those three words have my life in them.



Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.
Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.
