We want to understand our world and humans that are in it
situations and events that shake it up and spin it
make our choices, choose our path, convinced that it is 'right'
until we see another path that's just beyond our sight
a different path but yet, the same, with others plain to see
all moving on or standing still, all people, you and me
as paths converge what happens next is basic and is right
no pushing shoving or standing ground, no need to stay and fight
a simple course correction, moving round each other with ease
to continue on our paths, no two the same you see
For all the paths eventually arrive at the same conclusion
that help us clear our hearts and minds removing our confusion
it's not the destination that was paramount, but those along the way
people, lessons, obstacles, that come with each new day
the journey that we travelled bringing thought and clarity
Be glad you chose the path you did ~ Be glad that you now see

In this life love crept inside
unsuspecting souls thought love had died
It hadn't, slumbering, waiting still to
find us match us joyous will
full of spirit, body, mind never to leave
nor stay behind for in this life
we now know love - eternal gift
from Heaven above

Bottomless yearning, deep as the fathoms of the sea
to feel your heat once more, gaze into those eyes of green
days as empty as a well in desert sand
until the time when I feel the trace of your hand
along my face, so gentle and loving your touch
craving all of you, a passion that needs you so much
curse the hours, minutes, seconds we're apart
together, all I know, is YOU complete my heart

Why do my feelings run so deep?
Where is the strength that others have
if only my desires I could keep
protected with a magical salve
impermeable to futile hope
a barrier from deepest wishes
maybe then perhaps, I could cope
with emotions completely useless

He said, 'I love you and want to marry you'
I heard, 'He loves me and wants to marry me'
He meant, 'You're fun to be around and daydream with'
I meant, 'I love you and want to marry you'

Somewhere in emotional disconnect
causing my heart to palpitate
my soul's deep desires they do affect
forever knowing, I'm second rate

What a wondrous feeling, heat seeking missiles
colliding with no air between
our own emotional catalysis
legs entwined, breathing shallow, no return
Higher and higher we rise
Passion our fuel, desire in each others' eyes
Melded, we become as one
only known in that moment
as rays of dying embers burn on

I strain to hear your heart
across the broken miles
for even when apart my mind
conjures up your smiles
I strain to let you know
Your voice is what I hear
in silence and in shadows
I always have you near

I strain to send my love into
the ether and the mist
So when you turn around and see
a sunbeam that has kissed
the puffy clouds up in the sky
it's really me you see
I strain to give you all my love
For All Eternity
