(chorus) Heart on my sleeve Feelings I can’t deny My love for her still shines from me No matter how I try To cover the emotions That I foolishly thought I could hide These signals and signs I’m giving off Reflecting the love inside (v1) My hands still shake when I come up behind her Fingers that long to run once more through her hair I have to remember to not reach out to her To touch the soft sensitive places there (v2) Her eyes still capture me, turning my head Caught in their beautiful blue-green glow Brings a blush to my face and rush of warm chills My mask is shattered as my longings show (v3) My smile still comes, I’m powerless to stop it Butterflies racing pulse when she gives her own A smile I crave to kiss, lips I want to taste And a grin that says these desires are known (v4) Her perfume still holds me as I walk near her Memories relived by the caress of her scent My body reacts as if I were still holding her A constant reminder of the times that we spent (fin) Heart on my sleeve Feelings I can’t deny But it’s a love that’s bittersweet Ever since we said goodbye Now my heart is silent And these words I will try to hide Signals and signs are all I can give To show you the love inside "People say I should learn some self control; but I just want to exorcise my soul" |

 (sigh) Oh Jeff, this had a sad ending but it is soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I hope now love fills your heart forever and the bluish-green afterglow of loves eyes always sparkles in you! This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I could hear your heart beating on your sleeve, it is a muffled sound, but still audible. Perhaps she will again turn her head and heart towards you. |

Hiya, Jeffey. I'd sure like to hear some of these songs put to music. I've found a countryish one and a slow/fastish one so far. (Jenn makes up words) This is lovely..and longing.  ps..what were you blushin' for anyways? "two hearts will build the foundation for one point of light |

This is the reason why you are still one of my favorite poets. Beautiful poem, Jeff. |

SEA, Glad you enjoyed! Noah, Your responses are always uplifting Thanks for reading. Midnite Sun, Unfortunately, although my heart remains on my sleeve, her and I's time has passed and I know that she will not be looking my way again. But the memories are comforting. Fuzzy one, Yes, I am a hopeless romantic too; it's what keeps me writing these songs from my heart. (even though I'm rather down in the dumps about love right now too) Glad you liked it Jenn, This one is "slow/fastish" (lol and what's funny is that I know exactly what you are talking about!) As for hearing these put to music, I'm working on that. As for hearing ME sing them, (lol) you better break out the brewskies cause I'm too shy to sing in public. (although I have been known to leave acapella messages on answering machines )I was blushing because my attempt at "hiding" the inspiration for this poem behind some altered lines failed (lol) Tara, ...and you are still my favorite muse (although I really need to start working on some humorous material - sad songs kinda get to you after awhile lol) - Jeff "People say I should learn some self control; but I just want to exorcise my soul" |

Jeff, I really like the words to your song. Maybe because I'm a hopeless romanic, too. I'd like to hear these words to music, too. Thanks for sharing. Love To All, Ethel |
