Kiss Me
kiss me-
no, not there
but on the
side of my neck
like you used
to do to turn
me on and tell
me you love me
even though
the years have
turned my hair white
and i've
a few wrinkles
here and there
kiss me-
and tell me
i am still sexy
even though
its been years
since we
last made love
i have kept
myself up for you
waiting for
this very moment
just to be
with you once more

Little Bird
i watch for the mailman
as a child waits for santa clause
hoping for news from you-
no word comes
you don't know what
you do to me
i am trapped-
a prisoner in my own home
one day you'll return
from africa or germany
or where you've been
to find your little bird
has flown it's cage

Love Lies
you called me
your destiny
knowing full well
you weren't free
and never would
break the ties
that binde you
to your head-strong
wife and mother
of your children
you chased after me
everywhere i went
you were there
speaking tender love lies
wanting me to believe
i was your favored one
when it was your wife
whom always came first
now, standing alone
so many years after
the day my heart
fell at your feet
i no longer grieve
over the fact
i was nothing more
to you than
a psychological trophy
sad but wiser now
i accept my destiny

Love Me
do you love me
if you do
please tell me so
that is all
i ever wanted
i really want to know
it seems like
we get closer
with each passing day
i love you, darling
in a very special way
each night i pray
you will never go away
so darling
do you love me
do you want me
the same way i want you
it would make
my heart feel glad
to know you loved me too
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
