Night And Day
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Miss those arms around me

When you use to hold me tight,

Never doubting that you loved me

Every day and every night.


You had a way about you

That made me feel so safe,

Knowing nothing could hurt me

Neither night nor day.


When my heart was broken

You knew just what to say,

You would take away the heartache

If it took all night and day.


I remember our fun times together

Like we'd go fishing on the lake,

If ever a time you wouldn't let me go,

I'd cry all night and day.


For being with you, Daddy

Made a little girls dreams come true

There was nothing better in the world

Then spending night and day with you.


You always did amaze me

You were my hero, by the way,

You were the strongest man I ever knew

Your strength remained night and day.


Life was hard while growing up

You were my strength along the way,

No matter what this life may bring

I will forever love you, night and day.

Once In A While
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Someone comes into your life,

Every once in a while,

Sometimes they bring laughter,

Others they bring a smile.


This has given me a new perspective,

On a lot, including myself,

Taking heartbreaks from the past,

Placing them upon a shelf.


Walking away, leaving them there,

Never looking back or thinking twice,

Only looking at what the future holds,

The things that make my life so nice.


No need to dwell on what we can't change,

Live for what is making us live,

The beauty of the world, the touch of his hands,

The most amazing, is the gift to give.


Let your heart reach out,

Show someone how to smile,

Never hesitate to take the time,

If only once in a while.

Awoke In Love
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Someone once told me
Love is like a dream

Strewn rose petal pathways
And a delicate flowing stream.

Beautiful mountain tops
Covered with snow

Winds that whisper love
Everywhere you go.

Flowers in full bloom
Like a fairytale enchanted

A wishing well of colors
Where all wishes are granted.

A gazeebo twined with roses
Surrounded by light of fireflies

Clouds of cotton candy
That illuminate the skies.

As night begins to fall
The moon takes the sun away

Still as beautiful as ever
This dream will surely stay.

And soft as a breeze
My heart did flutter

For with every word he spoke
There not once was a stutter.

For I fell in a reverie
Full of pixies and such

When Love did talk to me
And whispered, I love you this much.

I love you like cherries
That burst in your mouth,

I love you like wisteria
That blossom down South,

I love you like dolphins
Love to jump free,

I love you like the ocean
Where waves crash gracefully.

I love you like a mountain
Loves to drink from the sky,

I love you as sweet gentle truth
That betrays the worst lie.

But as I crossed
The green hills so favored

It is that moment in choice
I will forever savor,

For as I awoke
In the morning divine

I saw all the beauties
In the bright sunshine

I awoke in love
And as I turned around

It was to see a smile
I have yet not found

For as love is as mystical
As mystical can be

It is my dream pleasant
That forever belongs to me.

Our Wedding Night
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
It was a cold and dreary night, when I called you up to say,
"There's only just a few more miles, but I am on my way."
My radio was blaring, the windows were all rolled down,
Nothing's going to stop me now, for I am wedding bound.
Thinking of my bride, how beautiful she will be,
Speeding up to get there, for my love I longed to see.
The miles seemed to get longer, excitement building strong,
In an instant I close my eyes, not knowing what was wrong.
The next thing I remember, your face so lovely to see,
The beautiful lady who said yes, when asked to marry me.
There you were beside me, "What are you doing here?
Our wedding is about to start my love, I told you I was near."
You looked into my eyes, tears falling down your face,
All I could see surrounding us, was a beautiful dress of lace.
"Why are you crying all those tears, you shall marry me tonight,
Have you changed your mind already, or has your love lost it's sight?"
Reaching down, she kissed me, "I'll love you forever my dear,"
Then falling onto my chest, weeping is all I could hear.
That very moment and time, I knew my dreams were shattered,
For when I closed my eyes to imagine her, I lost everything that mattered.
As I lay here lifeless before you, you are full of hurt and pain,
In your eyes I see the sadness, for what will never be the same.
I want to hold you close to me, tell you everything's okay,
To comfort all your sadness, take all your pain away.
Somehow deep inside of me, I know you will get through,
I want to say, "I'm so sorry love, this isn't what I intended to do."
My dream was just to be there, watch you walking up the isle,
Glaring into each others eyes, sharing our love all the while.
Holding your hand in mine, speaking our vows and saying I do,
To be the man whom you'd always love, and for eternity I'd love you too.
We'd kiss and hold each other, walking hand in hand, away,
For this would be the beginning, of the life we'd share this day.
In my arms you'd dance, under the moonlit sky so bright,
Proud of holding you close my love, for you are the most beautiful sight.
Today is just the beginning, of the heartache you shall feel,
I'll be forever by your side, hoping that your heart will heal,
I'd beg for one more chance, in hopes to do it right,
If only just to see you smile, on our wedding night.

Endless Forever
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Breathing you in...
Inhaling every scent of you,
Drinking you completely..
For your sweetness is so true.

Cradling your body..

Wishing Stops...Love Begins
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Every night as I fall asleep
Its your face I long to see
In the dream that never ends
Where wishing stops, and love begins.

To dance with you under the moonlight
The stars shining forever bright
A song so beautiful, tender and true
Words that are meant for me and you.

Gentle breeze of the night passes by
Leaving a kiss on the lips of you and I
Nurturing dew, blankets our souls
As the midst of the night loses control.

Now lying beneath the stars so bright
Our bodies together so tightly entwined
The cries of our emotions drowned the song
The beating of our hearts inspiringly strong.

As the brightness fades from the stars array
The night journeys on into everlasting day
Where wishing stops, and love begins
This is the dream that shall never end.

The Master of Dance
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
As elegant as any,
he dances with ease
No fear in his heart
His goal is to please.

He circles around me
with a grin ear to ear
Nothing else matters
When his body is near

With air brushing past me
He is a magician of dance
I watch him hypnotically
I am engulfed in a trance

His feet are in motion
his confidence grand.
He leans forward slightly,
and offers his hand.

Everyone is now gazing
but he stays right on track.
He pulls me in closer,
sending chills down my back.

Like a true master of dance,
he has awaken my soul
His hands grip me firmly
I have lost all control.

The night is now ending,
and so is this spell
He kisses me softly,
as I bid him farewell.

We Are The Proof
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
The rain holds our hearts
together forever more
Our souls dance in love
As our smiles spread the shore
I hold your hand as we walk
Knowing that you're not there
In my heart and in my mind
you surround me everywhere
As I speak to you in silence
My words I know you hear
When I touch your body softly
there is nothing that we fear
For love is not a figment
nor a dream we wish to wake
We are the proof of true love
That noone can forsake.

I Wish I May
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Hold you in my arms tonight.
To let you know how much I care
All my love with you I'll share.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
Touch your lips to mine tonight.
For your sweetness I long to taste
Leaving none behind to waste.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
Feel our bodies pressing tight
Passions burn and love unfolds
The realm of love we begin to mold.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
Make love to you all through the night
Have your body blanket mine
Our passions raw and unconfined.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
Transcend my love beyond your sight
To make you see and understand
As love is just the way I planned.

Missing You So
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
This morning when I woke up
and again, you were not here
I prayed you felt my arms
as they pulled you, oh so near.
I talked with you in silence
about the things we often forget
I prayed you heard my voice
and the words that my heart said.
I brushed your cheek with softness
and shared the love I feel for you
I prayed that in this hour of truth
your heart could feel me too.
This evening as I go to sleep
I'll pray that you are safe
In hopes that when we meet again
We'll rejoice that happy day.

My Children, My Life
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
With each passing day
you are my sunlight
the breeze in my hair
the stars that shine bright.
You are my laughter,
You are my strength,
there is no better place
that I'd rather be.
Beside you always
to show you the way,
To give back to you
what you give to me everyday.
You're place in this world
is special, you see
for without you here
this world would not be.
There are memories to build,
many places to see,
as together our hearts
bulid love and tranquility.
My reasons for living
for a happiness so true
All of the reasons
Why I"ll always love you.

Candy Glidden Jul 2010
As you lay beside her silently
Her beauty is your embrace
As you touch her cheek so tender
A smile peeks from her face.

Gazing at her with gentle eyes
Pressing firmly against her hips
Laying  your hand upon her heart
Planting softly, a kiss on her lips.

As you stare at her with amazement
Tears began to fall from her eyes
You gently brush the tears away
Saying, "Baby please don't cry."

Crying out, she whispers  your name
You feel the flutter of her chest
For now she's weeping relentlessly
For the man who loved her best.

Over and over, your name she repeats
Tears now flowing like rain
It's hard for you to fathom right now
That she's dreaming of you again.

Lifting her head from her pillow
Holding her close in your arms
Gently caressing her falling hair
Telling her, "Please baby be strong."

As you hold her in your arms so tight
Her head resting on your chest
A tear falls from your weeping eyes
"I'm the man who loves you best."

You lay her down to finish the dream
Leaving her with your last goodbye
A gentle kiss upon her lips
And the teardrops that you cried.

As you go to leave, she calls out your name
Wiping the tears from her eyes
"I love you sweetheart, so much that it hurts
And I bid you my last goodbye."

Tears fall regretfully down your face
As you turn to journey on your way
Leaving behind the love of your life
"I'll see you again someday."

LOST IN YOU
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
To thy delicate skin
Rose petals of satin
Like a paint brush
Sway across with gentle sweeps.

Rose petals of satin
Tingling sensations,
Begging for pleasure
Your gorgeous soul.

Tasting sweet desire
Passionate kisses
Pressing firmly
Blanketing thy lips

Thirsting for intimacy
Fill me up with YOU,
Like water fills a glass
Crystal clear, and pure.

Like the peak of a mountain
My body reaches
To the top, ecstacy,
Then falling down into sleep.

This Life Made For Two
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
The stars shine on the evening that's made for only two
There's no one on the earth tonight except for me and you.

A walk on the beach, together hand in hand
Underneath the moonlight's bliss on the pure white sand.

A love that's born unto this night, the love of you and I
The strongest and the finest love that any two could find.

This night we'll make a solemn vow, declare the way we feel
And I'll become the captive of a love that is so real.

My eyes will sparkle like diamonds for all the world to see
And my heart will beat forever more, knowing I have thee.

Our first kiss will be like fireworks, on the fourth of July
The fire ignites, and passions explode..lighting up the sky.

The way that I feel when I dream of you by my side
Is a sense of completion, astoundment far and wide.

All these dreams that I dream, each one about you
Will I ever wake up finding my dreams have come true?

In reality I know, you are the missing piece in my heart
Just wake me from dreaming, so this life we can start.

I'm overwhelmed and excited about a life spent with you
Now wake me from dreaming, let's share this life made for two

The Strength Of Our Love
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Every time I look into your eyes
the love I see goes far beyond
anything that my eyes have ever
allowed me to see.

With every touch of your hand
an energized feeling lures through
my body, inside and out with the
most wondrous shock of love.

Every sound of your voice generates
my heart, strengthening what I feel
for you, knowing there will never
be another love so true.

The most wondrous feeling in all
the world, is the feeling of knowing
that you will love me forever , even
after our bodies hold no more life.

Without question or further need of
knowing, our love is strong enough
to conquer all obstacles in life, and
hang on even after.

I love you, now, this day, and forever more...

The Beast Within
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
He hunts for me, by night
My soul he longs to take
As my temptations are getting weaker
I fear, it's the taste of blood I crave.

The medication, I'm now immune
Before long I shall transform
For the beast that longs to steal my soul
Will be the beast, that I become.

As he hunts for me each night
My craving, is to steal his soul
For the smell of his blood leaves me thirsty
Driving me out of control.

His skin smells of sweetness
His blood is my cravings of the night
He moves closer to me, I lick him
His neck, irresistible, I bite.

The splatter of blood everywhere
Tearing flesh from bones
I crave the smell of death inside
                                   A death to most unknown.                                        


After all the nights he hunted me
It was I, who stole his soul
Now, I'm nothing more than he
The Beast, that lost control.

Soulful Musician
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Into the heavens your soul shall soar
An Angel of Gods chosen flight
                            For from goodness comes eternal life                              
Peace be with you tonight.
A face that will never be forgotten
His music, from his heart, did play
Such a tragic and overwhelming loss
Of this soulful musician today.
Though life is never what we expect
Lived from day to day
Sometimes we question what God does
Though we should except it come what may.
Through all the trials and tribulations
Even heartache and tears
We must remember that you are an Angel now
Walking home without any fears.
When your thoughts carry you away
Look to the sky and see
The soulful musician looking back at you
An Angel of God, now, is HE.

In loving memory of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott (Dec. 08 2004)

Tonight I Close My Eyes
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
My heart restrained
Locked behind these bars
No escape from torture
No freedom from the walls

A life so bitter, so angry
                            Falling to my knees                              
Lots of air to fill my lungs
Though I refuse to breath

Captured in hell
Longing for my death
The desire to be free has set in
Now I lay my head to rest

Since death refuses to take me
My life I shall hand to thee
Cutting my wrists wide open
My blood shall set me free

The pain I feel is agony
Though such a desiring need
Falling to the ground
As I watch my body bleed

Lifeless now, unable to move
The blood creeps everywhere
Blackness becomes my sight
As in my face, death does stare

I realize now my freedom
Where it has been all along
Tonight I lay my head down
For the rest of the world is gone

My pain has eased to tolerable
As my last breath I take
Tonight I close my eyes with death
Never again to wake!!

Unspoken Passions
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
My shy eyes gaze into yours
My emotions masked with soft aura of innocence
Like a sun kissed dandelion at dawn

But underneath, I conceal a fiery inferno of unspoken passion
Part of me hoping you'll see it's warmth
Another part hoping you won't.

Your entrancing beauty captures my breath
Filling me with a sensation of warmth and chills
Every hue of emotion melts into me
Ebbing and flowing with each turn

I want to touch you, but my heart is in chains
My love is an underground river
Flowing towards you, but then scurrying away
Quietly running through every crevasse of my being
My words drown within a torrent of emotions

As I wonder
And long endlessly
In my unquenchable thirst

My eyes brimming with hopeful longing
Sparkling like ripples
as your sunniness kisses the watery depths of my soul
And I wait in chains
Hoping you'll hear the unspoken passions of my heart

HUNGER
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Though usually a preference of fantasies
Are never stored in my conscious,
Tonight images are appearing
into a sweet oblivion
with your name on it.
The thought of us
becoming one soul,
breathing with one heart,
and devouring each other's flesh--
I never had that in mind,
but tonight, unlike other nights
of purities and a bland image
my desire has risen,
and the only thing i want to feel
is the enchantment of you.

THE END
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Turning your back, so easily done
When all the while you are the one
Who began the war, increasing the fire
Just for your pleasure, your sheer desire.

My feelings fall short from your mind
Revenge I seek, and I shall find.
I did nothing, yet I pay the price
What a friendship, how sweet, how nice.

Nothing left but an empty heart
Ripped from my chest, and torn apart.
Nothing falls short of who I am
Letting you win..I'll be ******!!

Standing tall, firmly on the ground
Nothing you do will bring me down.
My hands are washed of you forever
Lost in lies, no longer together.

A better person I prove to be
While your true colors, others shall see.
Dim, and dull, boring and grey
Guess there's nothing else to say.....

Except goodbye and farewell!!!

The Gift Of Friends
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
There are days when
beneath our adulthood comes
the innocent child within,
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin.

There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired, the body weak;
we have no strength to smile.

There are days when
joy abundant
grabs a hold of you and me;
wraps us up in all it's splendor,
lifts us up and sets us free.

There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear,
'till our hearts ache to the breaking,
'till our eyes can't shed a tear.

There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light;
with its beauty and its mystery,
its power and its might.

There are days when
all I need is you
to be there to make me smile;
Just knowing that you comfort me
makes our friendship all worth while.

And there are days when
life rewards us
and seems to make amends
by granting us a marvelous gift,
the precious gift of Friends.
