For every time the wind blows
A thought of you awakens
With each draft there after
My heart is but forsaken.

With every single rain drop
In my thoughts you tend to linger
With every rose that opens
A thorn but ****** my finger.

With every thought of you
It's true, I must confess
A dream you come to be
Although I seem to love you best.

Our hands have never touched
Our eyes have yet to meet
But with every waken moment
It is YOU, I feel I need.

With these thoughts, I follow
Where ever they shall lead
In hopes that maybe someday
They'll be more than just a dream.

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.

Days on the beach with our feet in the sand
The sun on our face, walking hand in hand.
The waves gently flowing up to the shore
These are the memories that daddies are for.

Sleeping peacefully, as you rock in your chair
Your breath softly sweeping through my long hair.
My thumb in my mouth, a smile on your face
I could never imagine being any other place.

There were days when we'd mingle out in the shop
Two very wise carpenters just doing their jobs.
I'd watch, as you worked, just building away
Following in your shadow  without a word to say.

You'd even take me hunting when ever you would go
Although this little mouth was quite the talking pro.
I may have scared the deer away more times than few
But it didn't seem to matter because I always went with you.

Days spent with daddy were diamonds and gold
In this little girls' heart she will always hold.
Now many miles between us, time is made few
I wish for one more day to walk hand in hand with you.

The times we use to share are branded in my heart
Memories lie deep within, they shall never part.
I keep them alive with thoughts everyday
Of my wonderful daddy in his own special way.

The direction of my heart
Flows gracefully into yours
Peaceful thoughts and melodies
sing to me a chorus.
Beautiful day has risen
brightness from your soul doth shine
Into thine eyes so wondrously
Giving happiness so divine.
A gentle sweep of thy feet
Lands me honorably into your arms
holding me tight, yet sweetly
for I am taken by your charm.
No distinct way to hide
For it has been drawn deep within
The feeling that your smile gives
could be my desiring, eternal sin.
Mesmerized by your words
Though I've yet to hear the sound
I'm pleading with my heart
To allow your voice be found.
As day slowly fades
Night surrounds me fair
the thoughts of you engulf me
As I wish that you were there.
The parting of our hearts
Must be the longing for return
For everyday thy heart is weak
Tis for you that I yearn.

In my mind you stay
Planted from the purest love
Nurtured by each thought
Strengthened with knowledge
Loved by my heart
Each moment you are thought of
you grow more and more
spreading through my mind
like wild flowers in a field
taking over, draping their beauty
As for you in my mind
you are my thought,
my comfort, and my beauty.
Having not to share you with the world
It is I, who loves you,
It is I, who sees you,
To everyone else you are not
the beauty that I see
For inside my mind
you are everything.
In my mind,
You are LOVE eternal,
The only love I have
ever known....
The one I desire,
need, want, and long for.
Every single day that I awake.
So in my mind you will
always stay the only love for me.

When I was just a little girl
I'd wish for many things,
The one I can remember most
was the fairy dress with wings.

Just to have a set of wings
To soar up in the sky
To imagine as a little girl
With wings, “I could fly.”

My wish was never granted
The wings, they never came
Instead I got a fancy dress
I loved it all the same.

As the years began to pass me by
My wishes became very few
For something about being older
Wishes don't seem to come true.

Just out of curiosity this year
I decided to make a final wish,
Instead of asking for material things
My wish went something like this...

Oh, Knight in shining armor
This wish I send to you
Please hear my plea of mercy
And come to my rescue.
Come take me on a journey
To that land so far away
The land of love you come from
Take me there this day.
Hold me forever in your presence
Keep me captive in your sight
I shall never escape your love
If you take me there, this night.

With all the years that passed me by
This wish, I did receive
Now with all my heart and soul
In wishes I  believe.

It took me by surprise, you see
Cause my wishes never came true
But never before, had I ever wished
For someone as wonderful as YOU.

Tears...
I shed for you,
The man who stole my soul
Just a small and helpless child
Having no control.

Hatred...
I feel for you,
For my innocense you violated
Being just a small child
Your sickness I tolerated.

Evil....
I see in you,
For giving me a life filled with fear
Every time the lights went off
I knew you would be near.

Forgiveness....
I have none for you,
You made my heart wither away
Disgust in the mirror was all I could see
Each and every day.

Pain....
I wanted for you,
For all the pain you gave unto me
All the years of torture and fear
I had to make you see.

Death....
I wished for you,
Because you took my childhood from me
Knowing you were still alive
I could not let it be.

Smiling...
I am for you....
For you taught me something in life
No matter what you may encounter
You can become stronger in time.

Happiness....
I stole from you,
Because you always stole from me
When you died, I was reborn
My innocense was set free.

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.

Picking you up
Tears fall down my face
As I look into your eyes
The ones I once loved
There is nothing.

Holding you in mid air
I ask, "WHY?"
Angry and hurt, I curse you
It was my heart, my heart
Not yours....never yours.

The beautiful smiles
The innocent heart
Dying just to be loved
Lips like that of rose petals
No other soul so complete.

As I hold you in my hands
The reflection I see, is not you
Lest mine eyes misjudge the reflection
It is evil that lurks about you
Slithering through your veins.

Afraid of my discovery
I fall to my knees
Asking God for the forgiveness
Of the crime I am about to commit
Killing the only one I ever truly loved.

Holding you higher, I glare into your eyes
Once what was beautiful, is now evil
I loved you, I needed you, you killed me
Now your death awaits you
Here in my own loving hands.

As I lower you into my arms
I look deep into your eyes
The Porcelain doll I once loved
Who's beauty captivated the world
Most of all, captured my heart.

Your head I bash onto the floor
Awaiting to hear you scream
Each time I bash, I yell every word
that reminds me of who you truly are
Deceitful, liar, dishonest, and fake.

To your death I take you
Leaving you no time to beg
As for me, I am once again complete
Knowing that you cannot hurt me anymore
I am strong, and I will survive.

As for you, my sweet, little porcelain doll
You shall forever be nothing more
Than pieces of my life that I ripped apart
thrown into a plastic bag
Buried in your favorite rose garden.

Everyday as I walk passed this garden
That we so lovingly planted together
I smile, not in remembrance of you
But in remembrance of the life
you gave to me, and the death I gave to you....

My little Porcelain Doll.

Beautiful as a rose in full bloom
Although my mother, I never knew
Priceless days spent together
In my life I can't remember
When I was four my life was changed
By a man who had no face or name
His soul survived on evil alone
Hell is now his comforting home
My mother was beauty upon this earth
Her intentions were full of peace and worth
So young and frail it had to end
Taking away my mother, my friend
Even though her body is gone
Inside mine her spirit lives on
The beauty she natured, the love she shared
Was a mile of fortune that can never be compared
Two little girls who reflect from her life
Even through suffering heartache and strife
From her strength and her wisdom we shall prevail
For the rest of our lives her story we'll tell
How beauty and innocense can be stolen away
Yet, remain on solid ground each day.
This is how I'll remember no other
Because for me, my life, is lived for my mother.

My life that's just so hectic
Is far from calming down
Stress levels overflow
Aggravated by every sound.

My head like a volcano
ready to errupt to the max
what I wouldn't give for
Just one day to relax.
                                                      
No kids yelling, "Mommy"
Laundry that's already clean
A house so immaculate
Not even dust is seen.

Dishes washed and put away
The floors all nicely swept
Everything in its place
Exactly where its kept.

A massage for the body
Jacuzzi for the mind
A drug to make me stressless
It doesn't matter what kind.

Slave-free environment
No duties to acquire
Living just ONE day of freedom
To do what I desire.

Perhaps I wake up feeling lazy
Or I wake up wanting to shop
It will be my choice to do
whatever until I drop.

If the house turns to chaos
Or crashes to the ground
At least I'll know that when it did
ONE day of freedom I had found.

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.

The waves roll onto the shore
Dampening my feet...
Imagine being swept away
Drifting out afar...
What force keeps me standing
I want to fall...
Drowning in peaceful waters
Gone just like that.
Footprints left in the sand
For the next...

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.

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.

Old heart, beating strong
Together we'll stop...
It won't be long.

Give it time, see me through
There are things...
We've yet to do.

We can't give up, not just yet
I have to make sure..
That my life is all set.

In due time, the sound will end
The music shared...
By life long friends.

Before we go, we must say goodbye
To those we cherish...
Whom we loved all our lives.

Walk the path, we've never taken
To ask forgiveness...
From those we've forsaken.

Handing out thanks, where it is due
For being kind to others...
As they were always kind to you.

Analyze the truth, see it as we may
For all through life...
We should have done this everyday.

Now it's time to go, no time for looking back
We cannot make up for...
All the years that we now lack.

Old heart, beating strong
Together we stop...
Our life is now gone.

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.

Standing in a distance
Staring across the room
Will this be their fate
Or their everlasting doom?

Her heart pounds profusely
The sound he cannot miss
For they shall fall in love
But only by midnights kiss.

He walks towards her silently
He is music to her heart
She glares at him with passion
For they never want to part.

He takes her hand so gentle
"May I have this dance?"
Not a word escapes her lips
The answer is in her glance.

He bows before her lovingly
For this dance he shall not miss
As she flows across the dance floor
They await the midnights kiss.

As he holds her in his arms
They dance the night away
With so much love before them
Not quite the chance to say.

The night begins to fade
On her way, she needs to be
Caressed by all his tender words
His love, her heart can see.

Knowing if she leaves now
It shall be the end of this
If she stays her love she'll know
But only by midnights kiss.

She stares into the night
It's about to be her doom
As she looks out across the crowd
Of the people who fill the room.

Their eyes meet in wonder
Towards each other they stride
For the feelings held within their hearts
Each can no longer hide.

Into his arms she plunges
A magical night filled with bliss
For two people have fallen in love
Only by midnights kiss.

Beautiful white gown, flowing so fair,
Babies breath wrapped in my hair
Lovely flowers, I hold in my hands,
Awaiting the hour that we shall both stand
Vowing our love, underneath open sky,
As doves in flight pass us by
True love has met it's glorious day
Knowing that forever, it's here to stay
Feeling the air breath on our skin,
The sun, to our souls, sinking within
As we vow to each other to always be true
From this day forward, it's me and you
A chance to make a brand new start
With love to over flow each others hearts
Before you, I stand, to walk down the isle
My true love awaits, with a gorgeous smile
My heart is singing from deep within,
For this is the moment our life will begin
My journey starts, towards my love so true
Tears fill my eyes, each step closer to you
On this day, my dream has come true
To marry a man as wonderful as you
Now together we stand, side by side
We say our vows with honor and pride
To have your name, now as my own
We kiss with passion, our love is shown
Down the isle, now as one
Our lifelong journey has just begun.
Beautiful day, wondrous start
We are now the owners of one big heart
To envision a love, so perfect and true
This is my dream for when I marry you.

Today will be the beginning of forever
Where we shall find truth in all we do
Nothing will stand in our way
We will be complete....

Today will be the beginning of a new life
A door will open that leads to love
Nothing will stand in our way
We will be complete....

Today will be the beginning of US
To abide in each other in all we do
Nothing will stand in our way
We will be complete....

Today will be the beginning of tomorrow
Each day that shall follow there after
Nothing will stand in our way
We will be complete....

When I fell asleep last night
I had the most amazing dream
We sat together peacefully
By the rose petal stream.
The sky was baby blue
Not a cloud in sight
The sun draped our bodies
As it shone ever so bright.
The grass was soft as cotton
Yet as green as it could be
The trees were full of color
For only our eyes to see.
The birds, chirping love songs
Soft breeze in the air
Our dreamland was so beautiful
As only you and I were there.

All the while we wait
For life, come what may
Taking the good with the bad
Each and every waking day.

Sometimes in life we realize
Things aren't always as they seem
Even though we continue on
As living in a dream.

Often we ponder our existence
Answers to our purposes on earth
Maybe we are here to dream our dreams
Or maybe to explore our worth.

Are we worth a life each day
Perhaps we are worth so much more
In time we shall all know
Just what our purpose was for.

If only to write a book, or two
Or love with the heart we are granted
To give the most of who we are
For we are the seeds He planted.

Go on about your life this day
and everyday there after
No more worries why we're here
Just fill your days with laughter.

In your heart you'll soon understand
the purpose He has for us each
Until that day, live life, come what may
When He's ready our souls he shall seek.

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.

You made me, I am yours,
Question not why I am here
Love me all the same
Help me grow, strong and persistent
Show me the way through life, as you know it..
Teach me to be a leader, not a follower
Allow me to learn from your knowledge
Help me understand pain, as I endure it
Lend me wisdom, and encouragement
Teach me, to be like you, my creator.
Help me understand the differences in life..
To learn how to be kind, and sympathetic
Help someone in need, without praise in return
Help me reach the stars, without stretching
Create an amazing masterpiece, without art
To love all, without any reservations
Be proud of me, of who I am, for I am part of you.

I do not seek your company
Nor do I seek your time
All I seek is your soul
I want to make it mine.

Come, walk with me
In darkness, and cold
Feel a life of emptiness
Your hand I shall not hold.

You'll crawl like a pathetic maggot
Through my fleshy droppings
Bowing at my feet, you need me
For now there is no stopping.

You seek to find me everywhere
When I am not around
For summoned into evil
Forever you are bound.

Now I seek your company
I shall always seek your time
Pathetic maggot you've become
Wallowing in my grime.

It was you who beckoned me
Begging for me to appear
Now that I have come for you
Your request you must adhere.

I recall the good insisting
That you please not beckon me
Since you did not take the advice
You now belong to me.

I can mold you any way I choose
make you anything I please
You are now a pathetic maggot
A server unto me.

Once you beckoned unto me
Your soul you did sell
The time has come for you
To rot away in hell.

A garden of despair
Or sadness you may see.
Beauty is beyond it all
As for here, is just a dream.
It's elegance and silence
Take my soul to faraway
The beauty it beholds
Is why I come to dream each day.
In this peaceful place I sit
A gentle breeze always blows
Somewhere midst the silence
Is where all my dreams doth go.
When night begins to beacon
I am awakened from deep in sleep
As I stand to leave this peaceful place
My dreams it shall safely keep.
For another day is arising soon
Calling me nearer to thee
Back in this peaceful place
I'll return to continue my dream.

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.

As I set here feeling all alone
I'm thinking of all the moments..
When we held each other and laughed
til we ached with joy...
and tears trickled down our faces.

Remembering the way you smile
at me...like it is the first time
every chance you get.
And the way you kiss me
like it is the last chance...
Every chance I give.

Remembering all the sweet words
you say to me...
But even more, the way you say them.

I pray, one day, we can think back
on these moments...
As we sit in silent comfort,
Holding each other close, because
it's all we know to do..
Through all the rough times our love
abides... stronger than anything else
ever could.

Remembering how you look
deep into my eyes...
But even more, how it makes me feel.

Remembering the way that you touch
my face,
And the way that I hold yours...
when we make love.
Or when you whisper in my ear,
just to say "you love me"..
And the way it makes me smile.

Now, I want you to remember the way
I look at you,
With big eyes and a bottomless heart...
Always wondering if you know how
truly wonderful I think you are.
And although I've hurt you more than
I ever wanted to do...
I want you to remember.....
I love you now and forever...
Like it's never going to hurt.

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.

Sadness lives to hollow the heart
Its pleasure is our pain
It abides in darkness and fear
It lives for weakness to gain.
Burying itself within our minds
Trying to steal our dreams
Desiring one tear to fall
Knowing it shall succeed.
Sadness is but a figment
That of which we can control
If we refuse to get lost within it
It cannot deprive our souls.
Our strength and our wisdom
Keeps us standing tall
As long as we fight sadness
We are saved from it all.

Alone in silence with my thoughts
Rain pouring like tears from my eyes
Cold and damp the earth feels
Hearing echos of my sighs
Placing my chin in my hands
Closing my eyes trying to see
Is there anything out there somewhere
That could be waiting just for me
Like a beautiful rose in bloom
Or the sun to fill my day with light
Warmth to blanket my lonely soul
Maybe just the sounds of the night.
Moonlight to paint my face with smiles
Stars to capture my deepest thoughts
Carrying them away into the night
Bringing back to me what I have sought.
Words filled with strength and emotion
Flowing like a river through a valley
Seeking the minds of others to enrapture
Leaving me with no more to worry.

Secretly I must say you are amazing,
In every single way you can be.
Secretly I must tell you, my love
That I haven fallen deep for thee.

Secretly I want you to know
That I need you now and forever
Secretly you must know in your heart
we are meant to be together.

Secretly I wanna make love to you
until the sky is full of light
Secretly then we shall share a day
until the day turns into night.

Secretly I will  share with you
the feelings that I hold
Secretly I'm so in love with you
and with you, I wanna grow old.

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.

Late at night in her room
This little girl would see her doom.
He stood about 6 feet tall
His shadow lurked on every wall.
He crept in slowly for the taking
Hoping the girl he was not waking.
She would always peek a little though
So every where he moved she would know.
He liked to stand at the foot of her bed
Staring at her as though she were dead.
Only planning his next vicious attack
While she would plan on how to fight back.
Slowly he would move to kneel at her side
Lifting her sheets while his hand he would slide.
Touching her legs, and groping her *******
Rubbing his hands all over her chest.
Her body would stiffen with such disgust
As his body would thrive just out of lust.
He would stand to his feet, then lay by her side
All of her fear she was trying to hide.
She could feel the arousal of his manly pride
As he poked, and he prodded her from behind.
This monster appeared in her room every night            
With him appeared this child's worst fright.
She wanted to cry out and plead for help
But ashamed of herself, she would never tell.
Now he is gone the shadow in the night
Still in her room she is filled with the fright.
Every once in a while the shadow she will see
Her mind and her heart just can't let it be.
Her soul has been damaged by his own lust
He repaid with his death, in God I do trust.
When I heard of his passing tears I did shed
Was it comfort in knowing the monster was dead?
Or did I somewhat feel sorry that I just let it be
That he died with the secret of what he did to me?
Nine years of living a life filled with fright
Every time I would go to my room at night.
Even though he is gone, I sometimes feel him near
Like the faint whisper of his voice in my ear.
My pillow I grip, my eyes tightly squeeze
There is a slight trembling from each of my knees.
My heart starts to race, chills crawl my spine
What is it now you are trying to find?
No longer a child, I'm stronger you see
You are dead and you can't hurt me.
Go away monster, release all of my fright
For you are no longer a shadow in the night.

Could it be the way you walk
Or simply just the way you talk,
Maybe just that piercing stare
Or your fingers running through my hair,
The way your breath caresses my neck
The touch of your lips with each sweet peck,
The feel of your chest all over mine
Your hand on my thighs, and chills up my spine,
Laying beside you everything to spare
Could it be just knowing you are there,
How you lay me down so soft and sweet
Or the gentle ways our eyes do meet,
Maybe it's the way you set me on fire
Walking your fingertips higher and higher,
Your tongue on my body making me hot
But then again maybe it's all that you've got.
The look in your eyes, the touch of your hands
The power behind the kiss that you brand,
The way that you hold me, oh how it feels
The feeling of knowing that our love is real.

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)

Stars that fill the heavenly skies
Protect me with your light
Surround me with your presence
Lend me guidance through my life.

Fulfill me with reassurance
By a twinkle in the sky
If goodness, I have accomplished
Or given hope to someone's life.

Guide me with your brightness
By a meeting of the stars
If by chance, I fall astray
Or wander closely into harm.

Embrace me with encouragement
By shining on my life
When I tend to hang my head low
Or speak with bitter strife.

Teach me with fiery knowledge
By just a shooting star
When my lessons I have learned
I'll chase my dreams from afar.

Love me with proud ambition
By a glow where I tread
Perfection has taught me well in life
It is time for me to move ahead.

Stars that fill the heavenly skies
My path through life is clear
Thanks to you for lending me light
I pray that you'll always be near.

There's so much I want to tell you
So much I need to say,
Every time I try to speak
Your heart gets in the way.
I know how much you love me
For me, the world you'd give
For every breath you tend to take
Its me that makes you live.
My heart has turned direction
Been stolen by stronger force
To deny the feeling of love I feel
Would make my life lived, worse.
This day I'm here to tell you
My dreams have all come true
I found a love worth living for
This love does not include you.
May your heart find peace and comfort
May you someday find your dream
For everything my life I searched
Now awaits in silence for me.

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.

Walking away..
Hearing the faint cry of your voice
Calling out to me,
For it's  too late now, I am gone.

My heart left you..
Standing in a distance like shadows
Darkness blinded me,
Allowing me not too see your tears.

No feeling left...
Cold hearted by your wickedness
My blood chilled,
Left me with nothing but death.

To my knees....
I fall, staggered and so empty,
Silence drapes me,
Your face is all I see....

Tis my death....The beginning.

Imagine how nice it would be...
Just to sit down next to you
By a fireplace
And  enjoy being close to each other.

I daydream about...
Lying next to you
Entwining my body with yours
Holding each other, for a moment, in silence.

How would it feel...
To place my head upon your chest
Hearing the sound of your heartbeat
As you caress every inch of my silky hair.

I often wonder...
How sweet it would be
To listen to you read to me
As I fall asleep, drifting into dreamland.

Then I ask myself...
Could you be the sound of the rain
The blanket of my warmth
If so, I long to wrap myself in you.

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!!!

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.

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.

Away at a distance,
Everyday he sets alone,
Leaning up against
A heart that's made of stone.

He reads a book each day,
He often lays to rest,
Does he grieve the loss of love,
Or is life his only test?

Passing by one afternoon,
I turned to him and smiled,
His eyes were filled with sadness
As he spoke, “I'm ok my child.”

Was he feeling lonely,
Or was his heart full of fear
For what was all his heartache,
And why the saddened tears.

Today starts a new day,
The distance is all alone,
No one there to occupy
The heart that's  made of stone.

Did he find his happiness,
Is he at peace within his heart,
Are his sad eyes smiling now,
With his heartache, did he part?

For the books he read each day,
Were not just books you read,
They held photos and memories
of his life that he did grieve.

Now the distance is empty,
But his presence will never be gone,
For his life and his love remain in
The heart that's made of stone.

Each day he carried his memories
Never leaving them alone,
For they lay to rest inside
The heart that's made of stone.

To make a kind heart
First you will need
Tender loving care
With a pinch of good deeds.
A handful of smiles
A cup of warm love
An ounce of effort
Without substitutes above.
Now together you mix
Until all is blended
This will make kindness
Ever so splendid.
Combine a  half cup trust
With a half cup honesty
By spoon fulls drop
Lots of generosity.
To complete the mixture
Add the main part
To the life of kindness
You must add the heart.

Dreams are descending upon me,
Falling deep into a trance,
With these dreams I sleep forever,
Giving up not the perfect chance.
Becoming who I want,
Feeling all that is so good,
Not to worry about emotions aroused,
Because in dreams, we do what we should.
Hearing the rhythm of our heart beats,
Holding tightly, while lips to lips,
Laying me down and caressing my body,
Feeling electrified through my fingertips.
In this moment my life is a dream,
For reality, I beg to become real,
Nothing in this world gives me pleasure,
Like the man in my dreams that I feel.

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.

The mirror reflects the image
The image defaced
A blur, invisible, a mistake

The mirror shows all
All is everything about you
Nothing, little, a coward

The mirror is truth
Truth is what I believe
All, but nothing  from you

The mirror holds your future
Your future is doomed
Flames, screaming, helpless

The mirror allows you one call
One call to whom it counts
Not me, no way, someone else

The mirror breaks before you
You, who is pathetic and low
****, death rot, vanished

The mirror reflects the image
The image now beautiful
For without you, I reflect

If from your lips came tenderness
Or sweet poison to my soul
The spell you cast, I'm already under
My heart you've but stole.                    

Though if my lips are sealed
To my neck this poison you offer
It shall flow into my veins so smooth
Reaching my heart there after.

A thief in the night to greet me
With such desires as this
When all the while, it was the thief
Who held the poisoned kiss.

The spell you wish to cast dear thief
Is that which I cannot refuse
For if you stare deep into my soul
I already belong to you.
