I can't tell you in person
Or even on the phone,
Just how much I love you
And need you to be my own.

Ever time I think about you
Every time I close my eyes,
This feeling won't let go of me
So now I realize.

The love I hold within my heart
Is causing me to say,
I miss you and need you more
As my love grows every day.

For you are my guiding angel
With a fire in her eyes,
You are the light that guides me
To shine through loves disguise.

We walk along the beach at sunset
The waves gently brushing the sand,
The clouds, a vivid orange.
The sound of the ocean so soft and calming
We sit on a bench to take in the view
I look at you and see a myriad of colors
Soothingly reflected in your eyes.
I take you in a gentle embrace and kiss
You passionately,
You respond, melting into my arms
Than I awake, in darkness,and realize
It was just a dream.

I live in darkness within my mind
For my soul was taken long ago,
Happiness is something I'll never find
For my grief I can never let go.

but your poem tells me there is still hope
On this we both agree,
So through all the grief I will still cope
Until I am set free.

So thank you very much
Your poem means a lot to me,
For something deep within me was touched
And relived my misery.

march 2002 -2003

I'm not sure exactly
Whats going on within your mind,
Or if I could delve deep enough
Exactly what I'd find.

But Darling what I do know
Is the love I hold for you,
And pray that you have feelings for me
Deep inside of you.

But if it is just friendship
That you and I can share,
Then I will keep our friendship
No matter when or where.

But I pray that the love that's trapped me
Will also trap you to,
So that we'll both be happy
And never feel blue.

If I should die tomorrow
Have I left enough behind?
To have made my life worthwhile
In the way of memories of my time.

Or will I be forgotten
When the earth does cover me,
Or when my ashes get scattered
Across the wide blue sea.

A question often asked
No answer given yet,
But if I was to die
I'd still have few regrets.

An angel in heaven gave to you her eyes
just to compliment the beauty that radiates from you.

Your hair like that of the goddess Athena's silky soft
flowing tresses of mystic light outlining your beauty.

Your smile fades the sun till it seems like day has turned
to dusk all gray and quiet.

Your skin like velvet to the touch yet smoother than
the finest satin in it's milky white shine.

Your voice like that of a sirens, reaches into the depths
of my mind and brings calm from chaos.

Such is your beauty that it reaches inside my very soul
and holds it captive and I can do nothing to escape it's grip.

As I gaze deep into your eyes I become yours and
yours alone Trapped in love for all eternity.

I never thought I was good enough
To be published in a book,
A poem by Robert Marshall
Hay come and take a look.

Now mum you told me differently
You told me just to try,
To send one to a publisher
And not to be so shy.

So "Teardrops"( for Tabitha)
I sent to them for you,
I am told it's very good
They must have thought so to.
