Samantha
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
When I say I'd give you the world
I meant it
All the mountains we must climb
All the oceans we must cross
Everything we face
I meant it
All the doubt is in my mind
While all the love rest in my heart
So when I say I'd give you the world
Believe me
Because you are that world

My rose
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
Just like a rose
I remove your thorns
To only wear them as a crown
If this is what it will take
To make you believe my love
Then know now I love your thorns
As much as I do the rose

Your soul
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
What will you feel like if I told you, you was the most beautiful woman in the whole world?
What if I told you, you had the the most beautiful legs I’ve ever seen
And your smile is like the sun in the morning
What if I told you the way you walk makes me trip over my own feet

Your presence makes me feel safe
The sound of your voice drives away all my weakness
The place always feels right whenever you are there
The time is always perfect with you

What if I said your beauty sets my imagination into reality?
What if I told you sincerely that I love you?
But I’d be wrong to think I will love you forever
Because you won’t be forever
Except that I love your soul and not your body
But I never want to miss you
And so I love you soul
I love your soul and I want to feel you close to me
I love your soul because I love you forever.

There is always something to admire about you
Even age and time cannot wear out what I feel
And it comes from deep inside your soul
The way you smile
The way you talk
I look through you with ease
I see the true you  and I love it
I love you when you are down
I love you when you are up
And at that point when the other men condemn your physical appearance
I still love you because I see you through you
I see the true you  in your soul

In time your smile may change
You may not walk the way you do now
With age your face will wear
You will always have that beautiful voice that I love
They may never be the same but your soul will always be beautiful to me
Time or hazards may take away all this
But your soul remains strong and beautiful
I love you forever
I will love you forever
Because I love your soul

You know
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
Shy girl
I'll tell you how I feel
While you hide behind that smile
And the soft hellos
I'm afraid to ask you
How you feel about me
Your reply will be

                             You know.

What Is That Feeling
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
I can only pretend to
Understand where you came from
I can only comprehend
Why you are you
You're terrified by me because
It is I who breaks those walls
And it is I who can understand you
I no longer pretend
I know who you are
You are no longer terrified

Trouvaille
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
I've been told to make her fall in love
It would require much laughter
Yet each time she laughs
It is me who falls
Through our journey
Pain will ensue
But our strength
And courage
Can take on anything
Thrown our way
See, I promised I'd reach
The part of her
That's she swore
She wouldn't give to anyone.

The long search
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
Finding who i am and who i want to be
but i guess that isn't who i have to be
and what you all want me to be,
so maybe i should just stop the searching.
Feel like i should start apologizing,
for being who i want to be?
or for being someone i wasnt?
or maybe just being here in the first place?
it is all a blur and i need an escape.
At last I found the escape I need
It wasn't in the form I thought it would be?
But now I don't want to apologize
I want to be me
The me that I need to be
The me that you want me to be

She.
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
She was remarkable
Easily the most beautiful
She was complicated
Her hair all tangled
Like a ball of yarn in the cats paw
And all I ever wanted in life
Was to sit by her
And help untie her knots

Needs
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
Sometimes we all need
Someone to be there
Not to fix anything
Or to do anything
We just simply need them
To let us feel support
To show we are cared for
To show we are we are supported
Because I'm the end
We are needed.

Mothers Message
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
A mother once told her son
Babe you have a heart of gold,
One day someone will see it
They will not abuse you
they'll take you and that heart by surprise.
Before you can even feel it.
Don't give up son
She will be worth it
The one to steal your heart
And tell you that you deserve it
Stay strong my son
Don't falter in the pain
She is right around the corner son
Save that heart for the one
Who truly understands what they will gain

Let Go
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
So I say my soul
Let go
Let go
Trust in her
As she trusts in you
The mountains
And the waves know her name
It's time
It time
Be brave my soul
Let go.

A Man
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
A man.

A man is given a new life when he sees the one
He feels his best when they embrace
Whether for a moment or for a lifetime
Apart they were plain but together they were unique
Thanking the Father above for each other
Was all they could do.

The Musician
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
The musician

Long days yet never distracted...
Lost in thought for a vision...
Waking at the crack of dawn far to long...
Blank page no more..
Guitar in hand...
Oh how this woman amazes me ...
When her finger strum the chords...
Its like magic appearing...
And oh so endearing...  a
Music plays so softly, as she hums in her head ...
Her personality comes through in all Her work
God truly blessed her the peaceful Writer...

Forgive me
Dalton Cantrell Jul 2017
Forgive me my dear
If I stumble too far
I know not how to love correctly
I'm silly and clumsy with my words
They don't take shape in the way I want
Just let me kiss you instead
Let these sad lips kiss you
And show you what my heart cannot.

— The End —
