Outside the rain it falls
Inside a voice it calls
The fog rolls off the water and into the streets
The radio playing some insane beats
My heart it pounds with passion
From the night of dreams
The music gets louder and drowns the screams
I start to wonder what does it all mean
As I travel to start my day
The understanding comes to me in every way
Because of things that happen in the night
All of the signs make it all right
Music is the only sound
But the thing is I hear it coming from all around
That same song that played the night before
It started getting louder as I walked out the door
All of a sudden as the fog it lifted
The sun was shining a dog was whining
The music it has stopped and so have I
Standing still in the middle of nowhere
The funny thing is that I didn't seem to care
All of a sudden I opened my eyes for it was oly a dream.

Marriott...this is local 26 we are calling you out.......after this it should leave no doubt
I really hope you read all this stuff and know it is no joke...........we are serious about all this and we are even going broke
We work our fingers to the bone for you.....I don't want to hear that all negotiations are through
We will stand together ....and we hope this don't go on forever
We are doing this because we know it is right......no matter what we will never give up this fight
As we walk these picket lines......and we carry all these signs
We yell and scream .......while we follow our dream
We look for a better way to live.....so open your pockets and get ready to give
We don't ask for much from you......so do what is right and show us your hearts are true.

For the words that come from my lips are true..........the love in my heart is only and always for you
The days and nights are not the same without you beside me.......I hope that someday soon we will both open our eyes and see......that you and I were meant to be
We will put all our differences aside......then into the sunset we will ride..

The stars have talked to me........and said that you and I were meant to be
The sun has been shining on me more ever since the moon has shifted.....and I know it's because our love has been gifted
Time has been letting me down......but for some reason I have been able to turn around this frown
This alignment of these stars.......has made me beleive we can erase all these scars
When the sun goes down and the sky grows dark I will follow the light......because the moon and the stars will guide my way for they shine so bright
Time is just a number so I will not let it get me sad......even though being away from her sux so bad
So as I sit here and think of her....I know inside that in just a few some beautiful things will occur
Right now I will send her my love....and let her know that our love was created by the lord above
She is my shining star........and I will be where ever you are
I will watch over you.......until our love is joined together....and this time it will be forever.

It floats like the butterfly.......and soars like an Eagle in flight....
I know that it's all going to be alright
It purrs like a kitten....roars like a lion....the lord told me that there would be some cryin
It flows like the river .......and crashes
Like the waves
It is gentle like a summer breeze....and rocks you like a hurricane...it is our love ......and it is soothing like the heavens above......

This one is just to let you know .......that the love in my heart is pure and it continues to grow
It does not matter what people say........I will love you more tomorrow than I do today
It is so hard being imprisoned on the outside with no voice.......not being heard away from the love of your life and left without a choice
The songs, poems and stories that were read.......but the thing is our love will never be dead
Although I am too weak right now to stand......as life's grip has a hold of me....I am still reaching for your hand

As I walk the picket line......all the time waiting for that beautiful sun to shine
Life really ***** for me these days.....I so hope it is just a phase
I must find a way to dig deep into my soul....because of my sign the twins I cannot control
Maybe I do have a hard head and I am stubborn a bit.......to shake off the cobwebs before I take a direct hit
At times I feel so alone.......but I am a lot stronger than what I have shown
If you take a good look at my face .......you will see my smile has disappeared without a trace
For the color of my love has a different shade......all in all you know it will never fade
You never had someone that loves you as much as me.....open those sparkling eyes and you shall see
Even though my mind is outta whack......for this I know I will get back on track
Before the sun goes away and fades to black
The love that is deep inside.....and with the wind it does glide.......and if my time grows short.....so as my life is going in so many directions right now
The love in my heart soars so high
So much so it reaches the sky
So as I fight for more than my job....the love and respect of this woman ....reminds me I am human
So as it all fades to black.....and when I am down on my knees I will win your heart back

The hardest thing that I could ever do...is to say a final goodbye to  the love of my life like you
I thought deep in my mind .....always and forever my love for you to be kind......there is no one on earth that I could ever love more......I slipped and I fell and now I am out the door
If I had stayed and played my cards right from the start ......I know that my love would still be tops in your heart
Now that I am out.......and I am left with nothing but doubt
I look to the stars and I pray to the moon........that you and I would be back together soon
My love for you will never die......because of that smile and that look in your eye
Just from my stare......to say I don't care......the feelings in my heart
Were always there from the start
And losing you forever is just tearing my world apart
So now I will quote from one of my notes.......the love that is deep inside.....with you I could always confide..........one thing I will say my feelings for you I could never let slide
So with that being said......and all the words you have read.......the love that we have shared for so long could never be dead.

Today we stand for what we believe in
We are black and white ...we are red and brown...a little green maybe even yellow.....if you came by we would say hello...
We do this because we want to live a better life .......every one here like that man and his wife
United we stand divided we fall......we would stand behind you ...........all you have to do is call
For we walk the picket line.....we hope and we pray it will all be just fine
We are big and small short and tall....we are skinny and fat.....but you you know what together is where we are at
Local 26 we are hotel workers of all shapes and sizes....we don't get all of life's prizes
We only want what we deserve......stand up with us if you have the nerve
If we win or even if we fail......we stood with each other and that's for real..

My love for you will always live.......for letting you slip from my grip myself I could never forgive
These feelings I have for you are oh so deep.......for the mountains I would climb are very steep
There is no woman who could ever come close........for your love all that it took was one small dose
You were and always will be my Angel.......Eventhough my heart is left to dangle
The relationship we had for it was only in fairytales.......our love on the tall ships it sails.....forever and a day it will always live......and just for your hand my life I would give
So when you close your eyes tonight.....just think of me and the stars and everything will be alright

My grip on reality is really starting to slip.......if I lose her for good I will flip
Everything around me is crumbling down.......all I am left with is this lousy frown
My tears fall like the rain outside.......the thing is I don't even think that time is on my side
I am shivering from the cold or is it from what's in my head.......I feel like I just got punched and knocked out of bed
Everything I do ....all I ever say I am always wrong.....even when I quote her favorite song
I scratch I claw ...I fight .......but I know I feel it inside something is just not right
I shake and shiver as the tears roll down my face......as her feelings for me are off to outer space
The feelings I have for this woman are just so strong.......So how come I am doing everything wrong
I try to stand but my legs are weak from all this......would you do all this just for her kiss......for this the world I would battle.......till all the walls rattle
But with all I do.....I am just left in pouring rain of tears........just to shake and shiver.......

I think back and remember the first poem I wrote........the way I felt and the things I quote
The way I felt about you back then.....I still feel the same today as I did back then
That beautiful smile and that sparkle in your eyes
I see your face in the midnight skies
Your beauty and your wit ...is what I write about......and if you read them it should leave no doubt
The love that I have for you and the way I feel........you should definitely know that it's totally real
There is no one on earth that loves you like I do........and there is no chance in hell that I won't see this through
This bond that we have and the love we share.......I will tell you right now it is beyond compare
When we get older together and look back at it all.....then we will know why our love could never fall.....
The memories we have made and the ones we will make......you know deep down my love for you could never be fake
The reason for this poem is because our love is real........and we can see through all of our problems and never hide how we feel
Together forever we will be....and I will write poems about our love for the whole world to see.

The fire of the love that I have for her it burns deep within my soul......for the way I feel about her I have no control
I believe that fate brought us together.....and even with all the strife we shall be together forever
I do believe in the stars and in signs
And the power of the full moon when it shines
This flame that burns within......has always been there and it will when the final round does begin
The stars have always pointed the way.......and that's where I should be today
But somehow the light has grown dim
And now our life together does look grim
But fate works in strange and mysterious ways......this is a game of life and there are so many plays
To be with her forever means so much to me......to open her eyes wide so she can see
This fire That burns deep within me......her and I were meant to be

My life has changed on Oh so many ways
Its like a football game and you forgot the plays
Working so hard to change what I can
Losing a grip on reality was never my plan
To regain control of what's real and what means the world to me
To show myself that I am stronger then I appear to be
Then to secure my relationship with the woman I love......I know it won't be easy......but with a little help from the lord above
All my life nothing has gone right for me everything I do I seem to fail
Its time for me to turn that all around .....for this time for real
Now I am on the right track.....even my mind is not out of whack
The stress in my life it must end.....to the woman I love my heart I send....and our life together we will mend

This pull that has a hold of me is intense.........just the thrill of it all is imense......this woman is my soulmate.....and is to her I gravitate
At times I did things wrong but my feelings they are so strong.....even if I wanted to which I never would something just pulls me back to her .....a sort of gravity...this love that I have is special....so is the love we have for each other.....one thing I want  her and everyone to know if the gravity does one day cease ......always and forever we will be at peace
Its like the moon and the stars above......there is nothing like the sight of our love
So please let her know ......there is something that I must show .........she is the flame that ignites my heart .......and our love will last just like it has from the start

The tension you could cut it with a knife.....these things that happen are just a part of life
I had just told her how much that I loved her.....and all that I offer
Then some unexplained things started to happen...I started to see some things that I only knew because of my baby........it's a sign ....a huge one just maybe
It started when I read a paper and I started to see the number 4 not just one but by the truck load...the number 4 signifies the angels are watching over you so I have been told...
And then everywhere I looked I saw the car...well you know  the same model same color...you get it...and I mean everywhere I turned.....you know that I know that it is the best signs of all because of what I have learned...
This puts a smile on my face and puts it all in a positive light........and I believe that when it comes to her and I everything is going to be alright

Walking down the highway all alone....pouring rain.......the feel of loneliness and so much pain
Along she came driving down the road....the car breaks down ...so I wander over to see if I can help....lo and behold it was her as she steps from the car ....the rain it falls I put up my umbrella....to keep her dry
When a Strong gust of wind.....now that fails...I take hold of her ...she is shivering and wet .....we walk towards the house she starts to smile....and we both turn....that look in her eyes and the threatening skies....as I look at her she starts to cry......we both start to talk and at the same time.....baby everything is going to be ok......so as we continued to walk soaked to the bone .....painted smiles upon our faces.......all the pain it disappeared .......without any traces

As the rain continues to fall.....like the tears from my eyes.....I stand here and try to make sense of it all
The heartache .....the problems we face in everyday situations.....sometimes it feels like the roof is caving in......the words well where do I begin
The love that I hold dear to my heart.....I must get through to her but just where do I start....the words they just don't cut it.....the things that I keep doing it just gives me a fit
When will the sun start to shine.....I can't just sit here and whine....sometimes I am just fit to be tied.....these clouds in my head.....but there is a couple of words that must be said......baby I love you....I can and will get you back in my arms again....I know there is a lot on your plate at this time......I am not here to make it worse....no more drifting away it's time to make a move ....there is so much I need to prove
We are going through too much to be alone....I know together we are stronger I have more than what I have shown......if we fail at least we can say we tried...my time I will bide.........this time I will not hide
So when the rain begins to stall....... the tears they still fall but are not for sadness they come of joy.......brings a smile to my face ....like a kid with a brand new toy.........I know in life there is lots of stress....you learn to deal with this I must confess
As we struggle to keep our heads above the water........it seems we are still sinking......what was I thinking
Time we cannot waste.......we have already too much in fact
For it has come and together we must be......my love has grown a little stronger ......but to wait not much longer
For our lives are much too short....our differences we must sort
I know in our hearts the love is true .......so now we become one and live for today and until we are done
For the tears are bound to end .....and to you my love I send

This lonely road that I walk today.....I know in my heart that you and I will be ok
Life throws us lots of curves....my love the path that we both must travel  is a long one......and along the way I know we can have some fun....but in life we must face all kinds of trials.....and to know that we are not alone ......I must step up and give you more than what I have shown
Sometimes I feel like that one lonely star .....now I have come to realize that together we are one......and that star is you and I and like that star we have traveled very far........not in distance but in space......the path chosen might not have been the straightest but it is the right on in our case
As long as that star continues to shine bright......we shall be together in this fight.....for our souls will be joined as one......and we will love each other forever under the sun.....so on this path of the lonely star you will always know I will never be far...late at night just look to the sky.....you will see that lonely star .....and never again will you ask why

I want her to know..how much she really means to me.....I want to be there when she falls .....always answer when she calls
If she sheds a tear....tell her I will always be near....when she wants to talk......or maybe just take a walk
Anytime she needs me ......I will be where ever she wants me to be
So Baby if the sun refuses to shine.....I will reassure you that everything will be just fine......I want to let her know that when ever she needs me I will always be there
Baby so if our train slips the track.....I will always make sure we make it back
These shoulders are not just here for me .......they will be there for you to lay your head upon can't you see
So all I am trying to say I will always be there when you need me......just call me once and you will see
If the day is just out of whack......or if those hornets are ready to attack ......it doesn't matter what it is big or small ....or even if it's nothing at all
That is what I am trying to say......I will always be at your becon call......

Her hand is within my reach....should I grab hold or let it slip.....to learn how to love I cannot teach.....to live without her should I try....for her affairs I will not pry.....my heart is ripped I will not lie..my head is spinning ...my heart is twisting......and I just cannot let her go ...she is my best friend...she is much more...my soul mate I still do believe all of this......my head was clear and then it got in....that crazy feeling I am so in love with but unsure of myself at first I thought that I had a firm grip...then it all started to slip it was just my thoughts getting lost on me.....all I need is to make her see....so when the moon is full and my mind clear I will grab her hand and hold her near...to love each other with no fear...of hurting one another with our words......to love and to hold....not to shove and not to scold.......my love for her is true.........and these feelings I have I cannot undo
So as I wait so patiently....and try not to cry......I must keep my head up and my spirits will stay high

I think of her 24/7 ......I know I  will even think of her if I am in heaven
This woman she means to me so much....I really miss her gentle touch
The way I feel it is the first time....haaa it makes me so giddy I must rhyme
To make things in our lives a lot easier
It is my plan......to make her believe this any way I can
The love that is deep in my heart......to prove this with actions I must start
I know that we belong together......it was meant to be this I know
I must do this with my lips sealed
My actions will speak my words from this day......I will give her my love and share my life with the most beautiful woman sent from the lord above
And show this woman she is the only one I will ever love.....over and over she has proved to me......heaven sent her love ....and it was meant to be

The love that I have for this woman is strong and powerful..........to always be with her my life is wonderful
The light that our love creates makes it the most powerful on earth.....the power of love is beyond belief.....and to know she feels it too is such a relief
I know her beauty I cannot resist.....to live without it I must persist
Us together her and I our beautiful love touches the sky
The sun shall rise and it always sets.....the love between us is as good as it gets.

We here at local 26....we are not doing this just to get our kicks
Life is hard and times are tough..so if there is a strike things will get rough....we will always stick together.and then we will all work. Here forever
All we want is our fair share.....and we want to know our bosses care
As we stand for what we believe in
For the contract the talks they will begin
Here we will stand no matter big or small win or lose we go for it all....
We will  become  as one... As you know together we fight and then we shall never fall

There will be no more running away
If and when I come home I will be there to stay......if the rain continues to fall.....we will work on it so our love does not stall
So that when cold and the snow comes we will be content and begin to grow...more in love than we already are...the road we both must travel.....my mind is clear and my heart is ready.......so my love and I are keeping it steady......now When the rain finally stops....so when the stars are shining bright in the sky......we are in love and there is no better reason why...so baby with that sparkle in your eyes from this day forward there will be nothing but clear skies

The leaves have begun to fall....and last night I finally got your call
It was just enough to know you were thinking of me......and I thank the Lord above I still have the chance to make her see.....this love that I still hold....still...you don't believe those stories you were told.......this I know I feel it.....to even think of me......you still love me it must be.....now the cold is creeping in........for our new life together will begin......there are some things I must finish .....before that last light does diminish.......somehow the train is still on the track.....forever and a day I have always wanted you back
This fairytale romance that we have had......you know deep inside that I never meant to ever make you sad
Just to hold you in my arms again would not be enough....I need you today and every tomorrow this is no bluff
So tonight when the sun does set
You will think of me and have no regrets
The love in our hearts is just too strong.....you must be back in my life where you belong......So pretty baby your love is not something that I borrow......it is real and I will save you from a life of sorrow

Our hearts are torn ....in many pieces..our lives have gone in many directions....but each road we take.....or path we walk.....we seem to end up back where we started.....together....once we made a vow to love each other.......lightning strikes why do we bother....back to the beginning ....now we stand hand in hand.....totally in love......promises....long standing....apart we go ...different directions....but on the same street......then we run and we can't even see ....bump in the road ...and end where we meet.....and here we are face to face...staring in your eyes there is no better place.....we are better in love so lets end the chase....the story is long ....and as beautiful as she......body to body and heart to heart......there is no love like ours so we will never part

Did the sun ..forget to shine..why is it so dark.....I am sure it will be fine........wait I see her standing there she's all alone....is she waiting for me why don't she just use the phone
She's right there ....but I can't seem to reach her I'm calling her name but she can't hear me....I am waving my arms but ..she can't even see me ....I am right in front of her why can't she see me ....I am touching her hand ....but she can't seem to feel me...what is happening but it seems so real....she is looking around as if someone is calling to her ....but still she looks right through me....here I am....here I am....she still can't hear or see ...it can't be...or is it just a dream

Could I just turn and walk away
Could I just walk away with nothing to say......is it possible to walk away from the one you love......I don't think I could even if push came to  shove....these feelings and the person that I have become.......I just don't know where all these values came from....my heart has so much love for this woman and it runs so deep....the mountains I would climb they are very steep...... but she is  worth every step I take....and believe me the way I feel is not fake.......especially when I know that our future is at stake....she tries to push me away with harsh words and bad talk.....but even with this I could never walk....is there something wrong with me....if I can't reach her....I guess we will have to wait and see...so when the sun refuses to shine....and the moon hides behind the clouds and the stars are nowhere to be found.....I vow to please her and show her that my love is real and true....and I will finish this way before they put me in the ground.....please tell her that I love and miss her....and I will return....before they light a fire and my soul will burn.....in life we all have something we must fight for...it is written.....for each man has at least one..and for me her love is what I fight for

The days are getting shorter....and the nights oh so long
Now I think I know what I am doing wrong....the love that I have for this woman has clouded my mind....thus is the reason I can't just unwind
The things I must do for myself I can't do if I don't clear my head.....then only then my story can be read.....I know what your thinking we have heard this all before.....I have worked on things so this I am sure.....I know it will not take long....after I get her back I will sing her that song.....you know the one..she means so much more than everything under the sun
At night when I look to the sky....I make a wish that I will back with her before I die...I always pick the brightest one cause I know lt is you.....and forever this is what I will do
When the sun goes dim and I am unable to write....I look to the stars and they give me the light
I will ask the almighty to give me the strength to get through this.....for my wish is to At least to enjoy one more kiss.....I hope and pray that I get my chance ......to prove my love is real....and it is more than just how I feel...to lose it forever is not a choice believe me....so now it is up to me and if I can focus on what needs to be done....please just know this I will no longer turn and run

Our love is different than any other...that is why I could never be with another.....she makes me feel like superman.....the way I love her today is the same as the day it began....my head gets light my body it tingles....and my hands they shake...... my heart it burns....for her love my soul it yearns......she makes me feel like no one has ever.........her eyes they sparkle and shine whenever we are together...so I tell you now that this love we share.......it will last forever........... This I vow Baby...... you will not shed one more tear........

Baby don't let those voices in your head cloud your mind
They are not being real and that is so unkind
Now if I lay here......you would  lay with me.....stare into space ....and just forget the world....
The stories I have told you....by the way they are all true.....the promises that I have made....my how time flew
Sometimes I wish I was never born....and then came you.....baby you make me wanna live yes....yes it's true
Baby I believe in you....but I can see right through.....why are you afraid...i...I am never gonna....gonna leave you
I will stay through it all.....I will be there when you call....just beleive...yes baby believe in me ...I will prove all this and then you will see.......for this our love was meant to be....as long as you believe in me

The sun was shining so bright on me
By the smile on my face last week the whole world could see
....but this dark cloud has appeared
again trying to stop true love....but this cloud will not win........for to lose my love would be a sin...I have searched a lifetime for this woman....for this cloud can not take it from me........I will relight the sun....when I steal it from the sky
My body was so strong......now my legs they grow weak.....My mind is empty of thoughts....except of her....it all is such a blur....my tears now I bottle up my strength I must gain back.....this cloud has covered me...at this moment it is so dark I can barely see
As I try to reach the sun .....and reshine the light......I would be lying if I say ill give up the fight......her hand was almost in mine......we had the talk we saw the sign
But again this dark cloud has taken us over and covered us both ......I see a spot....a spot of light.......and I again will make this right
So up on my feet and wipe off the dust ...I will shine our hearts before they rust
I know our love was meant to be.....I will relight the sun so she can see
The sun will shine and that dark cloud will leave forever........our hearts will ignite with love for each other.....and the rest of our days we will be together

I am so tired of these tears that I cry
Is there way to stop them ....and just tell me why
The way I feel about this woman
And the reason I cry.....just to get close and convince her how I feel...for my heart was always hers to steal.....last night I cried a bucket of tears.....but it is funny because I know she...really cares......tell me why she listens to the voices ....instead of her heart to make those choices....I tell you now if she hears what her huge heart says..........she will hear the beautiful song that always plays
These tears that fall night after night
The sound that I hear from her heart tells me that everything will be alright
The sound of my tears creates the music you hear .....the love from my heart you need not to fear.....your hand in mine I wait to see .....then the tears will no longer fall......because the sound of my tears ........it plays the song that our love will conquer all
