You opened your arms and looked at me
Faster than a stone I sank
All the walls tumbled and I closed my eyes
Faster than a stone I sank
Your lips on mine and I craved more
Faster than a stone I sank
You walked away without a word
And faster than a stone I sank

She writes like the wind
To nobody there
Or so she thinks
There is no one to care
Sshhh don’t tell her
We all feel the same
The invisible people
Who all play this game

So many parts, so many pieces
Brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces
It flows from your heart and out of your hand
Sometimes depressing, but somehow so grand

She’s not alone, nodding our heads
A knowing grin reflecting her back
Look in the mirror, there’s a whole Pack

Some talk in riddles, some talk in prose
Smiling and thinking ….. how little she knows

The whisper of your voice soft in my ear
Sends me to places surrounded by fear
Tingling my nerves, erecting my soul
Begging you tell me
Which way to go

Surrender is not a choice
A given, a gift, mumbling my voice
The strongest of persons
Normally or so
Begging you tell me
Which way to go

Be careful with my heart
So easily bruised
It has been damaged
And so badly used

You have pushed the right button
And found the right key
Eyes fogging and lowering a knee
My heart is pounding
I give you my all
The strongest of women
Is now feeling small

Love comes in…
All the colors of the rainbow
Orientations of the mind
Temperatures of the body
Emotions of all of time

Love comes in ….
Soft as a feather
Hard as the steel in your will
Hot as summer
Cold as a mid winters chill

Love comes in …
And Love goes out
In with a kiss
Out with a shout
It rattles your nerves
Shakes up your soul
Confuses your brain
As to which way to go

Dichotomy of the ages
Struggles of the world
Life’s history of pages
Mans flags are unfurled

Bringing life in and taking it out
Making us cry and making us shout
What else pumps the blood and weakens the mind
Nothing in this world does any of this kind
To live without love
Or jumping in deep
None unaffected
We’re all loosing sleep

Bright, bright reflections of light
As it recoils off on the cold, cold snow
Somewhere beneath
The earth is warm
But how were you to know

Hidden deep
From the glaring light
It held the power to grow
A knowing hand could have had the might
To dig
Deep
Within the cold, cold snow

Its tender wonders may never rise
And who would ever know
If faith and love does not reach down
Deep within the cold, cold snow

Rain from tears, the warmth of a smile
It may take a while
Will it burst from it’s shell
Its tender soft shell
Or die in the cold, cold snow

You crept into my soul
As much as
I wished it wasn’t so
Between gasps and tears
Between swears and cheers
As much as I wished it wasn’t so

One day you were there
Growing inside of the life
I thought was mine
But God has other plans….
Sometime

Acceptance comes in small doses
Unlike declarations from Moses
Bad time, good time, what does it know?
When it snuggles into your body to grow
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
I wanted to hide

Three months you had grown
Three months I had known
You had grown in my heart
In My Life …
Were a part

Life takes its turn
Lessons to learn
Sometimes they’re good
And sometimes they’re just…
Lessons you should
One day I must…..

Forgive myself
For ever not wanting you

Always been there
For so many years
Eyes blurring
And filling with tears
I vow, not again
Please don’t tear me to shreds
No more hopes
No more dreams
I wish I were dead
It’s so hard to say no
But only to you
So hard to say no
And feeling the fool
My shoulder is tired
From all of your tears
Shed for others
For all of these years
They’ve not been for me
As much as I’d prayed
The time that we’ve spent
How I wish you had stayed
I vow once again

Determination sings!

Wiping the tears


And then……….  
              
                                            …..it rings
