Keeping Me Together


When you tell me you love me,
And give me a heartfelt glance,
It keeps me together,
And I feel I have half a chance.

When you lay a kiss on me,
And give me your love filled breath,
It keeps me together,
And I feel no longer close to death.

When you take and hold me,
And give me your arms so tight,
It keeps me together,
And I feel I have seen the light.

When you give your heart to me,
And whisper love and life into my ear,
It keeps me together,
I've found a love that dispels my fear.

Sock Monkey

I place my arms above my head, Curl my hands in an ape-like way, Bend and bow my legs just like an orangutan, Then stick out my lips and jaw…for a monkey face. Push out my feet so I walk with a funny gait, Belly sticking out…just like a chimp, Making the sounds a gorilla would make, Bouncing around the room for a giggle’s sake… Sock Monkey I am today, The laughter bowls over in an uncontrolled way, Do you wonder why we close the doors and lock the locks? It’s because I do the monkey dance…in nothing but my socks! Eric B. Ramey Copyright ©2005 Eric B. Ramey

Where Are You?

I sit here and wait, My heart breaking with each minute passing, I wonder where you are... And why you have changed. You used to be different, Something in you has gone astray, I wonder where you are... And if you love me no more. I say to myself that nothing is wrong, But why lie when I feel it in my soul, I wonder where you are... And dream of the things you used to say. I've been down this road before, It all feels the same, I wonder where you are... And if I'm the one to blame. I still love you and that will never change, I want to hold you in my arms and wash away the pain, I'm wondering where you are my love... And if my heart was given in vain. Eric B.

Maybe One Day

Foolish notions of trying to hang on, Seeing what's not real, Wanting to live the fairy tale. Hearing it twice in one life, Finally "getting it" I guess, Two times, twice the charm. Asking in vain for it to continue, Rebuffed by the cliché phrase, "Maybe one day", translation: "I'm with another, so go away!" Eric B. Ramey Copyright ©2005 Eric B. Ramey
