I can no longer pretend my heart has turned cold
When the embers still burn red hot
I can no longer deny the passion I feel
The loneliness is felt on a daily
I wonder what the feeling feels like again
The feeling of being loved and loving back
What does my future hold?
I miss the feeling
The feeling of being wanted
Desired
Loved
But am I truly ready
Or is it loneliness speaking again

Impatiently waiting on me to spit Her anticipation reaches a fever pitch She lives how the words tend to slip off my tongue flowing rhythmically from my lips to her waiting ears She said soon the magic will happen Soon my ears will be pleasured with the passion in his rhymes The flavor in his tone The swag in his motions

Brings happiness when the day has turned a blind eye
To my despair a light some call it hope
Arises to strengthen me against my troubles
Through the fire I’ve survived suffocating heat
From the fires that burn within me
Motivating me to create artwork with words
On blank canvases with only a pen to guide my thoughts
I find that love takes me to new heights
Where I am no longer afraid to fall
Cause at the bottom I land feet first
Standing on my own two
Holding destiny in my hands
The past eats away at my heels trying to draw me back
Into that dark place under the rock built by my fears and guilt
The future looms ahead beckoning me with its wonderful sites
I only catch a glimpse from my light tower of hope
Many seas separate me from my goal
But I will climb the highest mountain
Swim the darkest sea
Endure the most pain and sorrow
To reach that peak
That peak fuels me throughout this thing we call life
Challenging me to keep going
Keeping me grounded but at the same time letting me fly freely
This passion burns pleasing me
My temptress seducing me
Music flows throughout the room
Enticing my senses
Caressing me in a tight hug caramel brown arms surround me
Whispering in my ear that everything is ok
Comforting me as I continue my journey
My passion is loyal
Never betraying the truth that I have put into
The heart of the emotion
As my journey continues my life’s book is being written
Forever I’ll strive
Forever I’ll love
My dear passion
Many things in life catch your eye
But only a few will catch your heart

As I gaze into the night sky
The stars form a silhouette of your face
A face I know and love
Looking down on me as I go through this rough patch
Whispering sweet nothing in my ear
I embrace this feeling you’ve introduced to me
Love and happiness
Al green sung that
I know understand what he meant
Love brings happiness whether your day is good or bad
Cause when you think of that special one
As you gaze upwards into the night sky
Know that the stars shine a little brighter
Because your mind is in a better place
The place where your love resides
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
Temptation is life’s biggest tease
Causing these thoughts to come as they please
I made a vow to refrain from pleasure
But these little moments are hard to ignore
The thought of your body caressing mine
But all of this will happen with time
Time
A concept I’ve pondered
Giving myself time to wonder
Is it more than just the sex
A night of passion with an ex
A heated encounter when I’m drunk
Or is all that shit just mental junk
Thoughts
Of my life having more meaning
Cause for once I’m not being demeaning
Finally learning about myself
Cause to truly love another you have to love thyself
Celibate temptations I will not bow
Cause true happiness is all I want to know
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
These words clash to control my thoughts
They determine the thinking of my pen
As it slashes genius across this blank canvas
These are my thoughts fighting for freedom
From the confines of my mind
The deep bruises left on this paper
Define the emotions felt as this is written
Written from the heart of passion
Spoken like soulful lyrics flowing from the voice of an angel
Words that need no weapons
Only using the force resonating for the waiting ear
To hear
These words are crazy and wild
But organize themselves into a harmonious union
Making sense out of senseless confusion
Trapping the heart into an emotional conundrum
The battle for supremacy rages in my head
Waging a war of words inside my mind
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
Sitting around awhile
Staring into each other’s eyes
Trying to feel that longing feeling
That feeling of completeness
Our emotions slowly draw us together into a kiss
Our hesitant kisses turn into blissful sensations
O lady tell me what it is you feel
As you feel my lips upon your lips
Tell me where to go from here
Cause this feeling I’ve never felt
This journey we’re on has just begun
The excitement we feel as we lay
As we lay upon satin sheets
Made for lovers such as ourselves
Your head lay’s on my chest
Your ear hears loves rhythm as it plays our favorite song
I caress you on so softly
Feeling the skin that’s as soft as fine silk
Warm like the suns gift to planet earth
Again we kiss
Deep
Sensual
Passionate
Sparks don’t fly
Instead they stay within to heighten loves senses
This feeling we feel can’t be lust
Only love can feel this way
The protector wrapping his arms around your nurturing soul
Passion not hidden but open for the world to see
Not ashamed to show the emotions felt between us
Love is defined by our passionate eyes
As we stare into each other’s soul
Defined by our sensitive touch
As we lay
Defined by words not just said but meant
As I whisper I love you into your waiting ear
Defined by the sacrifice of relationships
As your needs become mine and vice versa
Defined by us
Defined
Felt
Trusted

Midnight lover knows she feels so good
Treat you right like I know I should
Midnight lover won’t you stay with me
Through these lonely nights
Steamy thoughts envelope my mind
Every time you cross my thoughts
Thoughts of what we have
Thoughts
Clear and concise
Midnight lover, damn I’m a lucky man
To have happened across your fine ass
The way you danced that sensual dance
The way your hips sway with that sassy walk
The way your lips feel against mine
The way please this rising passion
Midnight lover I know your time is short
But please stay till the sun greets the sky
Cause your body feels like heaven on earth
Your words play music in my mind
Soulful and invigorating chords of melodies flow from your mouth
Through those lushes lips pass wisdom that soothes and comforts
Your body is the epitome of God’s creation
Crafted by perfect hands and a perfect mind
Midnight lover, this night can’t be true
I hope this fantasy can merge with reality
I hope you stay just for a little while
Or marry me and stay forever
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
It seems like you’re ready
To feel intense pleasure
So let me come through and satisfy you
Let me caress that body
Got you feeling naughty
When I lay down that body
Now you’re off in my ride
Cruising with a smile so bright
The sunshine grows jealous of that good feeling
That feeling I gave as a gift of my love
My love for passion
My love for excitement
My love for you
So undress baby
Slow and sensual
Touch your toes when you bend over
So I can see the love between those thighs
Girl you got me rising high with a simple touch
Soft and tender slow and gentle
Let me work between those thighs or maybe from behind
Naw I’ll let you ride then reverse the motion
Up against the wall or in the kitchen next to food
Feed my hunger
Feed my passion
Feed me your sweet essence
So let me come through to satisfy you
And I promise I’ll feed you too
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
These predicaments we face really break the heart
This problem has gone on longer than we both can bear
After so long a love
The waters run dry
Our emotions are mere actions predetermined by stereotypes
How did we get here?
Feeling like Deborah Cox in the brain
This thing we’ve become I truly detest
Sometimes I feel like running away
Far away or even back in time
When the rivers flowed with vigor and strength
Love’s presence has eroded like mountains over time
The fire is extinguished
Intimacy is like a household chore
Life has caught hold of our status and twisted it into a withered old soul
The words “ I Love You” are hollow and bare
No emotion flows from the words spoken from our mouths
But this love must reignite
We’re destined to be great
We sacrifice too much
We savor too little
I love you for eternity
I can’t live without you
Please help me find passion
That first love type passion
That passionate love making
Help me ignite that fire
That had us dripping from head to toe with sweat from a pleasurable night
Light the fire and let it burn for eternity
I love you can’t you see that?
Let’s work this out
Let’s be one again
Let me love you better
Don’t let the water run dry
