The greatest gift you can ever give or receive is love
When you  give it make sure it is always true
And  when you receive it treat it with tender care
Because the one that gave it holds your heart so dear

The sand is always shifting
The sea washes away my sins
A new year now revealing
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Love shows itself in so many ways
Never ceases to surprise me
I always keep an open mind
To the various ways love finds me

I can not resist the temptation
Every time she contacts me on the phone
The tone of her voice seduces me
Knowing she is on her own
Saying no is not an option
An invitation i cannot refuse
We both understand the consequences
When i put my key in the door
The scene is set , the fire glows
Conversation finally comes to an end
Feelings and emotions
Take control of the situation
We both know where it ends

Trauma leaves a mark
That cannot be erased
Stays with you forever
Something not to be praised
But time is a healer
The memory with time fades
You cannot forget
What caused that trauma
That made that imprint
Which stays in your mind

My mind is divided by poetry
Between reality and what i create
Like living two separate lives
Always thinking two separate ways
It’s hard to sometimes explain it
People cannot understand
I am one single person  
With two sides to my thoughts
One is in the present
The other in a creative place
Where imagination and emotions
Present themselves as poetry on a page .

We all have our lies
We all have our sins
But the past does not matter
So long as you’re in the life i’m in
I don’t care what you’ve done
I don’t  care what you have said
The only thing that matters
Is that your inside my head
My heart yearns for you
To tell me you love me
But the silence is deafening
Leading me to think
Am i only dreaming

We live in a sea of emotion
That ebbs and flows with the tide
The people we meet are the currents
That carry us on waves for the ride .
