such is that half moon
brightness above
shadow below
as if it was struggling
to be released from
its pod
gazing up at it,I sit
upon my emotional hill
wanting to reach up
wanting to erase that
shadow, to see its
full illumination
such is the feeling
I have for our love
if you let me I will
erase that shadow
that doubt, and
illuminate you
to your full brightness
such is the love I have
for you

such is this dreary rainy week
cool numbness, yet not freezing
brisk winds flap the droplets
from young spring leaves
sun blinking from passing clouds

under this canopy I stand watch
waiting for a glimpse of you
sun's ocassional shadow of trees
plays on my mind, your voice
resonates, whispered trickery

so incomplete to mother earth
it seems, your footprints cease
who will tend to the ****** plants
caress with caring hands, nurture
will they bear their friut, alone

such are my thoughts on this
dreary rainy week, droplets
fall from my eyes, misty view
under this canopy,I stand watch
waiting for a glimpse of you

I don't want to do this, say goodbye
forever is such a short word
yet a long lasting scar on my heart
your toughness was just a facade
inside, the lite of love shined bright
your presence commanded attention
your touch soft as the summer breeze
the smoothness of your sway collects us
as if to say,come with me, I am your protector
I will see you with the other shining stars
just above the horizon, winking at us
then peeking at us while we dream
so I won't say goodbye,just hello to the
night sky

so lovely is the sound of the songbird chirps
singing for the rebirth of mother earth
may the sun's arms surround us with warmth
as the winter snow seeps into the earth
bring to life , the roots below
soak them,nourish them,unfold the petal hands
sprout the the colors, paint the land

you laughed with me at these silly jokes
but I work hard telling them
my reward, how easy they make you smile
I love how the corners of your mouth
tickle your cheeks, your eyes an ecstasy squint
and if you will let me continue this silliness
I hope I can make you smile for awhile

how dare you tresspass on my heart
my only crime was to glance at you
as you tip toe through my emotions
peeping into my feelings, i'm held hostage
these ropes that bind me, I tug
and struggle to free myself
but your medusa eyes turn me to stone
so carve me to your liking
make my lines smooth
so I can sip every drop of your love
and a thousand years will not erode
my love for you

removing the '' If I could''
when I look at you
hoping you'd say
''I wish you would''

the scent of your being
lingers in my thoughts
eyes that hold my feelings
well into the night

for what do I say
to a beauty such as you
will my meaning go astray
rejection, that powerful fear

removing the ''If I could''
when I look at you
hoping you'd say
'' I wish you would''
