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.

Love Of My Heart
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Love of my heart, why art thou far away
Doth thou not see, I live for thee today.
Heart beat of lonely, tears shed of grief
Why doth thou heart feel no relief?
Tortured by sadness, Showered with pain
Awakened by the sound of your name.
Thine ears are my comfort, my soul shall bear
Bring unto me truth, if thy love is there.
Shuttered with fear, trembling of doubt
From the roof tops, I want to shout out..
If only I could first make you see,
How much I want to love only thee.

The Face Behind The Name
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
A name appearing before my eyes,
Uncertain of the face it holds,
Through gentle, kind, and loving words,
My heart, this name, unfolds.

Darkened skies, dreary day,
My dreams carry me far away
Into your world, setting me free
No other place I desire to be.

Without a sound of your voice
Though I need not to hear
For from the heart, of the name
Dreams of inspiration did appear.

To dream of such a beautiful soul
To hear thoughts of a glorious mind
Words that flow like the ocean waves
No better place, could I find.

Wondrous and magnificent existence,
The face that holds the name,
Just to know the heart of such,
Has kept me honored, just the same.

Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Like the ocean so wide and powerful,
with it's waves rolling in
and crashing against the rocks,
With the same force as my admiration
towards the man I want to get to know.
I want to know and feel his strength,
Feel the power of his touch
crashing against my soul.
I want to feel his passions,
his desires and the dreams
that he has, like the waters
that go on forever and ever.
I want to feel his tender touch
caressing every inch of my body
like the kiss of the sun over the ocean horizon,
Faithfully each morning.
I want him to know that with each and every
word spoken is like a ripple that spreads
throughout the deepest waters.
For the day is coming closer,
The nights are getting longer,
In the desire to be near you.
I dream of that moment when
the waters of the ocean and the rocks
of the cliffs finally meet...
In a storm of passion.
His every touch will be like a soft
caress to the rocks of the cliffs below.
With each encounter will be like the waters
stirring under the ocean so deep.
With each kiss will be like a storm
building furiously down beneath the earth,
and deep down beneath my soul.
When the time comes for him to take my heart,
my soul and my body to make love to me,
it will be like a wild storm out of control.
With each touch, caress, and kiss he bestows
upon me, will be like giant waves, crashing
vigorously with so much power and strength
against the rocks, like nature intended it to be.
Just like I want him to completely take me...
then like the calm after the storm, I want to lie
in his arms and hear the pounding of his heart,
like the ocean waves calming and soothing to my soul.

For Just a Little While
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
As I drifted off to sleep last night, I heard you  call to me
Knowing I was dreaming of the way things used to be.
Hearing your sweet whispers, seeing your beautiful smile..
Dreaming we were young again, for just a little while.

Your reached your hands to touch me, the way you used to do
As tears fell down my withered cheeks, my heart cried out to you.
I'm standing tall, and staying strong, continuing to hold a smile,
There we were, so in love again, for just a little while.

As I awoke, withered and old, I left you to stay in my dream
For there you stay so beautiful and young, your heart stays pure and clean.
For dreams of you are all that's left, to finish life's lonely miles
If only I could hold you in my arms, for just a little while.

Need For Life
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
If you were the raindrops
that fell from the sky
I'd fill a glass with each one
Owning all of you
Placing you inside me
Each time I felt the desire
to be close to you.
Rubbing you all over my body
Just to feel each glistening drop of you
If you were the trees
that grew from the earth
I'd plant a new one each day
To have as much of you as I wanted
Allowing you to shelter me
Keep me shaded from the world
I'd become your need for life
In order to survive
You would then own 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.

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.

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.

Set Her Free...
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Do you ever hear the footsteps
That her tiny feet leave
Do you ever hear her weeping
For your heart she doth grieve.

It's she who stands a shadow
Human eyes cannot see
It's she that longs to be here
It's she that comes for thee.

Her hands cannot touch you
Her heart cries out in pain
For if she had one moment
Your love she'd wish to gain.

Her lips as cold as winter
You shiver as she kisses your cheek
Awaken by the sudden cold
To your love, you start to speak.

Not knowing that she's there
Tears you begin to shed
You curl into a fetal position
As she tries to caress your head.

Suddenly, almost knowing
She is right before your eyes
You scream her name while weeping
Crystal tears she starts to cry.

If only she could hold you
Let you know how much she cares
No matter what your life may bring
Her soul will always be there.

If ever you feel cold at night
It's her love that she brings
When the wind shall blow aloud
It's her love to you she sings.

When the daylight starts to fade
You'll want her there with you
Just know that she is always there
No matter what you do.

When she said forever
That was her solemn vow
Even tho her bodies gone
Her soul is with you now.

She's lost between the worlds
For she cannot seem to leave
Until she knows your heart has healed
Her heart will always grieve.

She needs to know you're happy
Your sadness keeps her in your heart
For once she knows you can go on
Her soul will forever part.

Knowing you'll never forget her
That you're love for her will remain
Now that she is not here with you
Nothing can be the same.

You'll find your way to happiness
You'll set her spirit free
In your heart, she'll understand
That's where she will always be.

Just Another Face..
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Just another face in the background
Someone that reflects from the crowd
Wishing that more than a reflection
Could somehow be profound.

A soul banished from the rest
Horrible encounters, dying existence
If for just a moment in time to change
Begging for that in an instance.
  
A heart punished for its mistakes
Carved with a knife, bleeding
Craving to be alive and wanted
Longing to feel the beating.

Cold hands, dilated pupils
Mouth that makes not a sound
Please let me be more than...
Just another face in the background.

God Made Me
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Please don't ever be sad for me,
My life is as God planned it to be.
Full of life and so much splendor
More than most could ever render.
My heart is warm, full of laughter
My eyes are sore from looks I capture
Radiating a beauty, given by you
Something lasting, forever true.
Mother and daughter, still together
If only in our hearts we live forever.
Looking in the mirror, it's you I see
The beautiful woman who gave life to me.
God has blessed me with many things
A lot in my life he continues to bring.
No more sadness, no more tears
No more worries, no more fears.
For I am who God wants me to be
So, please don't ever be sad for me.

River Of Lonely Tears...
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Yesterday I cried a river, of lonely tears for you
My heart it breaks in pieces, for I know not what to do.
I want to feel your touch, and kiss your lips of sweet,
To whisper to you softly, and hold you as you sleep.
Today I cried a river, of lonely tears for you
For I am scared in many ways, and know not what to do.
The feelings that I hold, go way beyond belief,
But telling you how I feel, could be my true relief.
Tomorrow if I cry a river, of lonely tears for you
My heart will open up, and I'll know just what to do.
I'll have to tell you that I love you, it may be to soon to say,
I'd rather say it now then wait, because I'm feeling so afraid.
No more to cry a river, of lonely tears for you
My love has found his way to me, we've started something new.
Today I smile an ocean, of happiness with no more fears
I say goodbye forever, to the river of lonely tears.

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.

Reflections Of Life
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
As I peer into the mirror, what is it I see?
A beautiful face staring back at me.
Though the image is different than that of my own
There are a few resemblances that are clearly shown.
You are there, it is you that I see,
That beautiful face that stares back at me.
Reflections of a love so true,
The bond that was shared between me and you.
The things that you taught me, the love that you hold,
Are the reasons why I am so strong and so bold.
You gave to me wings and allowed me to soar,
You gave to me, life, and I owe you much more.
Cherish your "MOTHER"  and the love that she gives,
For a reflection of life, oh, how precious it is.
From this day forward in the mirror there will be,
Reflections of my mother staring back at me.

To my mother, my angel, I love you, and miss you so much!

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...

My Journey
Candy Glidden Jul 2010
Too young to lay my head down
Pretend that all is well
I see my life before my eyes
Now there is no time left to tell.

I should not have been selfish
Nor should I have gotten mad
I'm sorry that I walked away
From the last chance we ever had

I knew of the chance I was taking
When I left you there that night
Now before my very eyes
Lays the truth beneath my sight.

You're beat and you're battered
Cut all over the place
Blood fills the shirt you wear
From the beating of your face.

Beneath you lies the picture
Where our lives were all we knew
Now the life I loved so much
Is gone, what will I do?

The tears I shed are like acid
They burn right through my skin
There will never be another time
To go back and do it again.

Regret and pure torture
For the rest of my life
I will wake up every day
Feeling no less than pain and strife.

My life will be empty and sad
As I journey away without you
"God won't you take my life"
For I know not what else I can do.

Placing my body into the water
My face falls under, not able to breath
Now I will have no more pain
No more reason to wake up and grieve.

I'm off to start my journey
Not as beautiful a journey as thee
But for reasons no one will ever understand
Beauty I deserve not to see.

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!!

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!!!

Invisible Love
Candy Glidden Aug 2022
Invisible love,
Blind to affection.
A single touch burning thy skin,
Unnoticed, I crumble apart.
Hating daylight,
Feeling lost and alone.
The world my enemy,
Nightfall is my throne.
The sun vanishes,
Stars begin to shine,
Out from the heart arises,
A love I call mine.
Tender and sweet,
Burning desires from within,
Neverending love, tho it seems
Until now asleep we fall.
Nestled within each other,
Only to wake once again
To an invisible love.

All The Reasons Why
Candy Glidden Aug 2022
I love you because,
You fit into my world perfectly, like a hand in a glove,
My cup runneth over with undying love.
Your eyes take my soul to places unknown,
Your touch leaves me mesmerized completely to the bone.
Your kiss is infectious and it courses through my veins,
Your voice when it speaks to me and how it says my name.
Your arms how they hold me tight making me feel safe,
The way our "five minute" rule never stays in place.
How you open up the truck door to let me step inside,
The way you hold my hand and kiss it while we take a ride.
I love when you kiss me and stare deep into my eyes,
How my hands upon your body can make you get a rise.
You always touch me softly with gentle, loving care,
You text me throughout the day for our thoughts we like to share.
I love when you look at me for your face I can read,
It tells me everything you want, or everything you need.
Every second we're together I feel safe and so secure,
Our love radiates around us so tremendous and so pure.
Everytime you leave me, my heart breaks a little more,
Waiting on your return is what I'm dying for.
When you say you love me or that I'm beautiful,
It reminds me why I love you deep within my soul.
I want to start a life with you and give to you the world,
To make it known to everyone that I'm your special girl.
To go to bed at night after our day is through,
Feeling like the luckiest girl because I am loved by you.
Maybe live together in a way that lovers do,
To wake up every morning being loved by only you.
I love you now and forever until my last breath I shall take,
And I promise to love you still when my soul no more shall wake.

"YOU"
Candy Glidden Aug 2022
Awakened with thoughts of you,
Drowning by your presence in my mind,
Dying to feel your touch,
To smell the essence of your skin.
You're intoxicating.
As I look beside me, no one is there,
Only your light radiates around me.
I close my eyes to feel your touch on my skin.
Shivering from the excitement that you bring.
If into my thoughts only I have fallen,
Let me never be awakened,
For you are the sweet sounds of the night,
Calming as the deep blue sea, that of which I wish to be.
Our love carries me through each day,
Memories of us fill my nights,
Your love, my darling, takes my heart to heavens heights.
Be with me always and stay in this place of pure bliss forever.

— The End —
