when you grace the garden
i am overfilled with sunlight!
an intense admiration
leaves me with sudden blossoms
of an ever gentle pink...

won't you come closer?
i don't ask of you to be mine
nor for the warmth of your hands
i simply asked to be loved
every now and then...

and when i realize my feelings are one-sided
my appearance falls apart one petal at a time
leaving me to cry among the decay
when the flower is no longer a beauty
what reason do you have to stay?

At first I was falling,
Stuck in a whorlwind,
Stragiht for the ****** bin.

Twisting, turning,
Tumbling through-
Then I found you.

You held me firm,
And helped me stand.
Now I know me.
Here I am.

A fresh start to things recast
I start my job - it may be my last
New things, new roles, new people
Will I succeed, will I fit in
We...  Are on A Journey

At first, I see a pleasant face
A smile that cheers the soul
She turns and looks and dare I think
She'd make my life so whole
We...  Are on A Journey

It started small as some things do
A word, a glance, a sterling smile
The understanding is so clear
I marvel more and hold it dear
We...  Are on A Journey

As time moves on, I settle in
The days and weeks stretch further on
I feel secure and have a place
I long for her warm embrace
We...  Are on A Journey

Then one day she bears a gift
In jest, I'm sure as hearts abound
I love the thought it could be true  
I hope nothing can change my view
We...  Are on A Journey

One day she sits and opines
we have so much in common
I agree and say for sure it’s true
The path is clear, but can I woo
We...  Are on A Journey

Years pass and life it moves at pace
With joy and loss, a mix we share
We look, we smile, we talk
We know we fit but leave it sit
We...  Are on A Journey

The word is comfortable we share
The feeling is so clear
The word is love, dare it be
How can this work we’ll have to see?
We...  Are on A Journey

We are so good at being good
Platonic is the word
But love I know is such a thing
I hold out hope by just a string
We...  Are on A Journey

The eyes so strong and blue
And listening and attentive
Are but a window to her soul
I barely keep my self-control
We...  Are on A Journey

Friends for life it seems to be
The outcome that is best for all
and if it comes to that alone
My heart will not have turned to stone
We...  Are on A Journey

I see her in the ocean breeze,
In dark and churning stormy seas,  
honey eyes taste salty air,
She’s curls forming in untamed hair.
I see her in the deepest night,
A starry sky of freckled light,
An asteroid, her fall to earth,
Caused ripples through the universe.
