My heart is broken
I feel such pain
I look at my face,
It's all tear stained
I want to hate you,
But I never can.
No matter what,
You may have done,
I know in my heart,
You're still the one
So,
What is it,?
That I'm to do?
To prove to you,?
That I still love you

Can You?

Can you,
Protect me from my dreams?
That's all I need.
Or sometimes,
That's all it seems.
Can you,
Hold me in your arms?
And keep them at bay,
With your wily charms?
Can you,
Love me for just today?
And make my fears go away?

"Nothing But My Heart"

I have nothing to offer,
I'm sorry to say,
I have nothing left today.
I have nothing to offer
Can't you see?.
Nothing to offer,
But little old me.
No dowry.
Little hope.
Nothing to offer,
Nothing,
But me.
Nothing but my heart.
And I give that
For Free

"Night"

Nothing is as lonesome as the night.

The stars are burning dim,
As the whippoorwill calls,
From the shadowy twilight's gloom.

A tear streaks my face,
As his call tears at my heart.
And the weight of the moonlight presses,
Me on down onto the earth.

I cry out for help,
With a voice that makes no sound.

The weight of the world,
Keeps me pressed to the ground.

The crickets chirp, and the tree frogs sing.
And above it all,
I hear ,
The whippoorwills,
Plaintive call.

nightime is a lonesome time even if you have someone much less if you are alone

"Pure Gold"

Into this world world will come,
A few,
Very precious souls.
Who will not fit
Into your cookie cutter molds.
Yet,
To your ideals,
You try to make them hold.
And never realize,
They may be,
The purest form of gold

I wrote this when I watched the staff in a "mental" ward openly laugh and make fun of someone who was challenged when they attempted to make him the same as almost everyone else.I don't conform either and was quite upset by their actions and treatment of this individual. I simply say that they are "differently enabled" than others and staff would have used resourse myuch better to find what the person was good at instead of forcing them to comply and making fun.

"Burnt Bridge"

I once crossed a bridge,
That now is burnt.
It seems that behind,
All are hurt.
A word too quick.
Can't be taken back.
My whole world,
Goes to black.
Actions and reactions,
Done in haste.
It all seems,
Such a waste.
Regret, it rears it's ugly head,
and desires to be fed.
But regret, A bridge, can't rebuild
Not when it's very foundations are crumbled.
And covered by the embers,
That used to be a bridge.
Bridges are built on faith and trust.
The strong ones are steel,
And will withstand rust.
But thoughtless words,
Spoken in haste.
Can lay even the strongest,
Bridge to waste.

A reminder to myself, to us all that we should engage our brain before opening ones mouth.

"Gods Child"

You might despise her,
For what she's done.
She's not perfect,
As is no one.
But...
None of us are.
For all time,
There's only been one.
No matter how far,
She might fall.
God loves her,
Despite it all.
Perhaps she has,
Been out running wild.
But.....
Don't ever forget,
She is,
No matter what.
Still....
Gods child.

Think before you judge or criticize others. We are all children of the Lord and it is up to him judge us not each other.
