The rimer quenches his unheeded fires,
The sound surceases and the sense expires.
Then the domestic dog, to east and west,
Expounds the passions burning in his breast.
The rising moon o'er that enchanted land
Pauses to hear and yearns to understand.

Summer breezes blow
A song of insects fills the Night
With pretty music

Stars twinkle at Night
While the Fairies dance and sing
Beside the still creek

Moonlight fills the sky
It's rays slant across my room
Leaving shadows there

The song of crickets
Hush the silent world to sleep
With a lullaby

*~Marian~
A little girl with eyes of blue
You were your mother's prayer
You are your mother's daughter
With ringlets in your hair

But...

Turn the competition up
Turn the volume up to ten
You're a little tomboy
Your dads daughter then...

You can pick a squirrel from a tree
When you wrestle you won't yield
When you go and play at football
You're the best boy on the field
You can tear apart an engine
You act just like your dad
I've got to say my daughter
Is the son I never had

You dress up for your mother
Wear  a dress to go to school
You have manners like no other
And you know the golden rule

But, when the day is over
The dress is off and jeans on quick
Then you grab your rod and tackle box
And take off fishing at the crick

You can pick a squirrel from a tree
When you wrestle you won't yield
When you go and play at football
You're the best boy on the field
You can tear apart an engine
You act just like your dad
I've got to say my daughter
Is the son I never had


You are your mothers princess
You are your daddy's son
But you are our loving daughter
When it counts, and day is done

You make both of us happy
You make both of us proud
You blush when I yell loudly
That's my daughter....really loud

You can pick a squirrel from a tree
When you wrestle you won't yield
When you go and play at football
You're the best boy on the field
You can tear apart an engine
You act just like your dad
I've got to say my daughter
Is the son I never had

In the garden of my mind
full of dried dirt and dull weeds
my thoughts of you are the
Biggest, Reddest rose
fully bloomed and making it brighter

The only beautiful thing left
in my head

I fear for the day that the rose will too
w i l t

Then ill no longer have its beauty to focus on
just crumbled remains
and eventually
d i r t

Infamous one
I want someone who can stimulate my senses
Her scent so refreshing when she is near
Her skin so soft the lightest touch
The sound of her soothing voice in my ear
The taste of her lips against mine
When we are together everything is fine
No one matters but her my eyes locked on her beauty
I'm the only one for her and the only one who truely matters
Her hand in mine we stand together
Be honest with love andd trust your heart
Lost gazing in her eyes that sparkle
She holds you with warm and passion
