this quiet of evening
no wind to speak of
body drains to comfort
as its you I think of
murmuring rhythms
softly played song
murmuring whispers
this is where you belong

so elegant and strong she seems
as she takes her seat
an aura of calmness surrounds me
the sweet hello from her lips
renders me weak
her intellegent thoughts
humble an ignorant man
yet her vulnerbilities she cannot hide
her words are a guiding lite for all to hear
take them, absorb them, apply them
for she wishes you all the best
I'm honored to call her my friend

Oh, my mind is at peace, atop this moutain peak
the air so crisp and clear, it renders me weak
looking at the horizon, and illusion captures me
a silhouette of you dancing, to the night to be

so vibrant is your sway and the lightness of your feet
bouncing effortlessly from each star you meet
a gentle touch from your fingers lets them twirl so sweet
as they twinkle and wink, for all of us to see

up here my thoughts are vacant, the debris is down there
my smile is wide, yet the corners drip tears
and up here I try to reach you, to comfort your fears
I guess what I'm really saying, I wish you were still here

at the end of day, when emotions are drained
and ole sol has relinquished to the night
the brain stimulates in vain
yet the heart wants to rest, relieve some pain
the eyes just stare, in silent reflection
waiting for darkness to shield their moisture
there's a reoccuring theme, wanting a connection
as we ponder all of our expectations
life is just a rough draft, as the poets contend
the rewrites are many and a certant constant
we hold our thoughts, as the mind bends
not knowing what message we should send

as I walk amongst this silent path
hundred roses lined pretty in a row
the dew on their petals, are teardrops
from my eyes
each step taken, is a memory long ago
precious time remembered, heavy hearts
slow the pace
wishing all along I would catch a glimpse
a smile and a wink to satisfy my soul
yet the fragrance of the roses
is all that is left, to let me know
you are still here
so I'll say hello, as I always do
knowing you walk this path with me
always guiding me to you
you are part of my heart I won't
let leave

though you cannot say, how you feel today
let these words try to sway
when the sunset sinks away
the last time I saw you
was first time I fell for you
the first words you spoke to me
was the second time I believed
these shallow waters of love and life
wont sooth the hearts enduring blight
it begins with us, hand in hand
back to the past were it all began
can we rewrite history, we sure can try
if only for a moment, yet never say goodbye
so if you want to say, what you feel today
perhaps my words did sway
you to start our newest of days

if I could, I would color you in the hues
that paint my mind
each stroke, smooth and true
if I could, I would tease you with
the melody in my heart
each note resonates with love
if I could, I would whisper to you
let your knees collapse with my words
then hold on to you for all eternity
