goodnight brother
you can dim the lights man
i will lock up..just want to chill here
and cogitate on my lady bro.
be good man..
if i say
a love like ours is supernatural
but long ago i had a dalliance
with a gypsy woman
somewhat impractical
ignoring her warning my next romance
would be cursed by witches
i am sorry
best wishes
ruby my love
if i have
in any way reminded you of him
and now you are reluctant
to dive into my heart for a leisurely swim
please do not allow our love to hinge
on a whim
best wishes
ruby my love
if i wake you
from a sound sleep
complaining about the attutudes at work
how certain guys get
special perks
yet when i come home i selfishly
ignore the time you spent preparing
my favorite dishes
i am sorry
best wishes
ruby my love
if i call
just to hear your voice
such a silky tone
and through your affirmations
i am elevated to a kingly throne
but during our trip to
an erogenous zone
i fail to keep our love promises
best wishes
ruby my love
best wishes my love sincerely
clearly
the stormy weather has severly
has hampered our abilities
but i will always love you dearly
ruby my love
if i respond
to your wants and desires
but fail to find
the time required
to allow your goals to transpire
when you ask my opinion
i yawn and say...baby i am tired
acting plain dismissive
i am sorry
best wishes
ruby my love
if i promise
to be the best and i am
not even the best of the worst
you have met
and when we are sitting in a restaurant
i make eye contact with
a buxom brunette
oblivious to our disconnect
ignoring the wonder of your riches
best wishes
ruby my love
if i make reservations
for sunday brunch
and tea for two
but at the last minute
call and say i have something to do
leaving you feeling blue
then it is clear my revelation
has eclipsed our genesis
i am sorry
best wishes
ruby my love
if we meet
your friends for a night on the town
and i am a bore
barely concealing a frown
and when the topic of my love
for you comes around
i experience a temporary
mental paralysis
best wishes
ruby my love
if i preach
a real man should own
his words
yet when we argue my hypocrisy
leaves me sounding somewhat absurd
what is the use in being
a romantic lyricist
i am sorry
best wishes
ruby my love
best wishes my love sincerely
my insecurity
made a love that should have lasted
become nearly
and now forever
i will stare at the stormy weather
while dejectedly
living with the memories
of you
ruby my love
