" MIDNIGHT IN PARADISE " by MAXINE SOSO

3/26/2008

The night we met
is embedded in my mind
you were
everything I needed you to be
and, more
When you...
laid me down at your feet
And...
kissed me gently
your lips so soft and inviting
took me to a whole new level
than I was used too
When you...
laid down beside me
you enticed me
caressing me entirely
with your effervescence
I melted
And...
my heart fluttered
as gently as
the wings of a dove
I love...
the way you touch me
executing mutual emotions
passionately embracing
a scent of mystery
that glistens in the air
dancing in the wind
When you...
look at me
I tremble inside
realizing that I
had fallen for you hard
so hard
trying to
tell you how I feel
that what I feel for you
is real
the night we met
was like...
Midnight In Paradise

" LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE " by MAXINE SOSO

3/26/2008

DEEP IN A CORNER

IN THE BACK OF MY MIND

A VISION OF YOU

AWAITS, TO BE SEEN

I AWAKE

AND…

THERE YOU ARE

RIGHT WHERE I LEFT YOU

THE NIGHT BEFORE

WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU

I WAS IN AWE

OF YOUR MERE EXISTANCE

PERSISTANCE, HAS LED ME HERE

TO WHERE, I WANNA BE

I’M ENTRANCED BY THE CHANCE

OF GETTING TO KNOW YOU

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

FEELS RIGHT

BUT…

CAN IT HAPPEN?

I THINK IF YOUR HEART

KNOWS WHAT IT FEELS

THEN…

IT’S REAL

IF ONLY FOR A DAY, A NIGHT

A MONTH OR, A YEAR

IT’S STILL THERE

AND…

THOUGH I’VE KISSED YOU

A THOUSAND TIMES

IN MY MIND

I CAN ONLY SEE

WHO YOU APPEAR TO BE

BEHIND…

MY COMPUTER SCREEN

EVERY SECOND WE SHARE

IS PRECIOUS

BECAUSE…

YOU POSSESS THE SOUL

OF NO MAN, I’VE EVER KNOWN

THE RESPECT AND TRUST

I ADMIRER YOU SO MUCH

YOU’VE TOUCHED ME IN WAYS

LIKE NO OTHER BEFORE

SO…

IF YOU WANT ME

HERE I AM

DO WITH ME, WHATEVER YOU FEEL

ALL I ASK

IS THAT YOU KEEP IT REAL.

" SILENT KISS " by MAXINE SOSO

3/26/2008

I've kissed your lips
a thousand times in my mind
I can only see
who you appear to be
behind my computer screen
Something inside me
cried out
I wanted you
but...
I couldn't touch you
because...
you were behind glass walls
that kept us apart
My heart was aching
I was shaking
on edge
I wanted to hold you
so, I tried pulling you in
through my walls of glass
but, that didn't last
My heart was shattered
it didn't matter
that the distance between us
was enormous
no way of breaking through
I still want you
I'll continue to kiss you
A silent kiss from your lips
though it's all in my mind

" BEYOND ALL REASON " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

SOME DAYS I FEEL

LIKE, I'M SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL

WRECKED AND, DISTRAUGHT

WITH BROKEN TENDENCIES

FISHING, FOR A REASON TO GO ON

SEARCHING, FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE

TODAY I LAY,

STARING AT THE CEILING AND WALLS

WISHING I COULD FALL

OFF THE FACE, OF THE EARTH

WORTHLESS ASPIRATIONS

CAUSE TEMPTAION TO STRIKE

ALLOWING MANIPULATION

OF MY MIND, CONJURING FRANTIC

DECISIONS, INCISIONS COME INTO PLAY

CONTROLLING THE RATIONAL, SENSIBLE SIDE

THAT LETS LIFE GLIDE IN STRIDE

IT'S GOT A HOLD, OF THE OLD

USELESS ME

SCREAMING, " PLEASE!!! "

SET ME FREE, DON'T LET ME BE

LOST IN TIME, OUT OF MY MIND

PULL ME IN AND, LET ME WIN

THIS WAR OR, SHOW ME THE WAY

TO STAY, SANE

RELEASE THE PAIN, LET ME GAIN

WHAT ONCE WAS

BECAUSE,

NOW, I CAN SEE CLEAR, TO WHERE

I NEED TO BE, FOR ME

TO BE ME.

" FOR ONE NIGHT " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

I WANTED YOU LAST NIGHT

NOT ONLY TO MAKE LOVE

BUT, TO BASK IN THE AMBIENCE

OF YOUR PRESENCE

TO HOLD YOU AND, MOLD YOU

TO MY BODIES SPECIFICATIONS

SO, I STARED AT YOUR PICTURE

THOUGH YOU WEREN'T THERE

MY BODY STARTED TO TREMBLE

AS THOUGH YOU WERE HERE

IT SEEMED YOU WERE COMING

RIGHT OUT OF THE FRAME

MY MIND KEEP ON PLAYING

THESE TRICKS AND, THESE GAMES

I SMELL YOUR COLOGNE

IT'S ALL IN THE AIR

YOU'RE VOICE KEEP ON RINGING

INSIDE OF MY EARS

I STARE AT YOUR PICTURE

WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE

MY MIND SEEMS TO WANDER

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE

THOUGH I CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE

IT'S EMBEDDED IN MY MIND

I SEE IT EVERYDAY

EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME

I WANTED YOU LAST NIGHT

FOR ONLY ONE NIGHT

TO MAKE LOVE TO MY HEART

MY SOUL AND, MY MIND.

" HIDDEN DESIRES " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

LET ME GENTLY CARESS

YOUR GRACE, SPACE AND, INTELLECT

WITH THE MAGNITUDE OF MY AURA

YOUR PRESENCE ENTICES

DICES AND SPICES

MY INNER BEING TO UNWIND

LET GO OF MY INHIBITIONS

NO INTERMISSION

JUST LISTEN!

YOU AWAKEN MY SENSES

IN THE TRENCHES OF DESIRE

I ENTIRELY WEAKEN

TO THE WILL OF YOUR COMMAND

YOU'VE GOT THE UPPER HAND

ALL I DEMAND

IS SOME TIME, TO UNWIND

YOUR DIVINE ADAPTABILITY

STABILITY,

SENDS ME INTO A TAILSPIN

I CAN'T WIN, THE PASSION WITHIN

LIES BENEATH THE WALLS OF TRANQUILITY

THAT WILL LAST FOREVER

YOUR INNER BEAUTY ACKNOWLEDGES A RARITY

THAT CAN COMPARE WITH NO OTHER

MY LOVER AND FRIEND.

" FANTASY " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

YOUR EYES COMPRISE

A LULLABY

OF MUSICAL MADNESS AND,

SEDUCTIVE WARMTH

WHICH HEIGHTENS MY SENSITIVITY FACTOR

UNIQUELY INTERRUPTING

MY CHAIN OF THOUGHT

CONDITIONING MY MIND TO COMPLY

TO THE WILL OF YOUR COMMAND

AND,

UNFOLD MY SOUL, TO BEHOLD

THE MAGIC THAT IS YOU

WHEN I SEE YOUR FACE

I WANT TO EMBRACE

THE SWEET DELECTABLE ESSENCE

OF YOUR ENTIRE BEING

I'M MESMERIZED

ENTRANCED IN A LACKADAISICAL STATE

A PLACE IN THE UNKNOWN

BUT, THAT DOESN'T MATTER

BECAUSE, I AM WITH YOU.

" MESMERIZED " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

The window to your soul

opens a world of possibilities

that can be explored

through your signature stare

which melts me into submission

A trio of effervescing characteristics

replaces all sense of reason

Your mesmerizing rendition

of celestial pools, of seductive warmth

invites an invisible yet, tasteful way

our thoughts can simultaneously

Intertwine,

Respectfully, we envision a night

of uninhibited, interminable

Intimacy,

I patiently await

as the midnight miraculously

heightens the sensitivity factor

endured through mutual admiration

enhanced by the undeniable,

voluntary, out of the ordinary desire

to reach ultimate climatic elevation.

" MARITAL BONDAGE " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

Restriction, conviction of the heart

so it starts,

Obsession, the lesson you learn

will burn

in your mind, all the time

Control, has got a hold, on the mold

you try to break

The mistakes you make

leaves you trembling

You feel alone in your home

though your partner is there

despair, when they're near

The verbal, physical and, emotional abuse

what's the use, in hanging around?

Stand your ground,

refrain, break the chain or, remain the same
broken spirit, don't you get it?

The time has come

to take a stand and, demand

the respect they wrecked

when they shattered your soul

and, left a hole where your heart

used to be

Get back your pride and, take in stride

the mistakes you made, you'll get paid

your self-respect, self-worth

and, your dignity.

" I CAN SEE " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

A blind person can see

what their heart already know

Their insight is enhanced

by the essence of the inner being

The magnitude of their suggestive thoughts

takes on the form

of the innermost hidden desires

that a distinct possibility

of communicating visuals

can encounter from within

In the depth of their souls

eternal images are placed

of a perception once known

not even time can erase

The mystery behind the mask

to the world you have shown

that a blind person can see

what their heart already know.

" SOUL SEARCHING " by MAXINE SOSO

A WOMAN'S EMPTY HEART

UNACCUSTOMED DELICIOUS CONVERSATION
IN THE AFTERMATH OF HER NAKED SOUL

" ANOTHER BROTHER " by MAXINE SOSO

10/19/2007

TRAUMATIZED, BY LIFE"S INDISCRETIONS

SUBMERGED IN STEREOTYPICAL

CONTRADICTIONS

CAUGHT-UP IN THE MIX

CAN YOU FIX, WHAT'S NOT BROKE?

THE TOKEN MENTALITY OF THE MAN

DISPARITY, IS HIS PLAN

A THOUSAND FACES AND, NO PLACE

TO CALL YOUR OWN

YOU'RE TRAPPED IN A WORLD

TAUGHT TO HIDE AND DIVIDE

VICTIMIZED BY A CRIME, YOU DIDN'T COMMIT

YOU ASK THE QUESTION,

WILL I EVER BE FREE, TO JUST BE ME

AND, WALK THE STREETS

THOUGH UNKNOWN, BE LEFT ALONE?

CAN I DRIVE MY CAR, NO MATTER HOW FAR

AND, NOT GET STOPPED BECAUSE, MY SKIN

COLOR

IS NOT, LIKE THE OTHER?

WILL THEY DISCOVER

THE OTHER SIDE OF PREJUDICE

OR JUST, CONTINUE TO SUFFER

THE CONSEQUENCES OF CIRCUMSTANCE?

IS THERE A CHANCE TO ENHANCE

THE MIND OF THE MAN

AND, MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND

THAT NOT ALL BROTHERS

ARE THE SAME?

THE GAME REMAINS

BUT, THE PLAYERS

DO CHANGE.
