The Her of my dreams.....

Few days had I known her
and in those I had found my love
Breathtaking she was and as jovial as could be
I was taken as soon as our eyes locked
How had I been so fortunate
the one I looked for i found
She did not know it but Iloved her
I did not tell her,
I hoped she could see it
The attraction that drew me to her
Her conversation drawing me nearer
That was just day four

I would be leaving soon
I didn't want to go
Her eyes told me to stay
but if it was love I wanted to know
She confided in me
she trusted me
but it wasn't me she loved
there was another

my heart was dismayed
but hope lingered on
the other one treated her bad
I wanted to fix it
I told her it would be ok
it was going to be fine
She confided in me
She trusted me
but it wasn't me she loved.

I wanted to tell her I loved her
but left before I could
I hope she knows
I hope she dreams
I hope she'll love...........

Be....Live....

She wants to strive and thrive
Live like she has never lived
Believe like she has never believed
Looking up and moving forward
Dance in the rain even if its awkward

Sing like the birds, sit with the nerds
Skip in the streets, move to the beats
Fly in the air, walk with flair
Run with glee though its silly

She longs to sleep in the day, and lay awake at night
Stare at the stars at bay, live free of plight
Talk on the phone, sing till the voice is gone
Laugh till she cries, dance till time flies

Bygones .....

He wanted it all to be undone
He wanted it all to be a nightmare
to make up and know that everything's alright
It was just a bad mistake
regret fills his heart
it's not the same.
It will never be

How fast things can change
a trial at a second chance seemed possible
but bridges were burned
kindness was unlearned
They were really good friends
then one day, one event
changed everything

She wanted it to work and so did he
But the past kept creeping up on them
The trust dissolved in a miasma of betrayal
Though the hurt was not intended
The aftermath, the pain was inflicted
The sorrys were not enough
hopes shattered

Forgiveness if not from the heart is futile
Nobody said it is easy
but if its for the love then let it be
let the love grow beyond the thorns
Like the rose look beautiful
feel soft and natural
let bygones be

The Desert of life....

Walking along trudging on this dusty road,
My feet they feel so tired is there a bus i could board.
I'm really thirsty too i need something to drink
The sun's so hot i can't even think.

I know in this I'm not alone,
Cause I'm my fathers own.
Yes indeed He gave His son,
So that He and I may be one.

In this long and dreary way
I can't keep my goals at bay.
I need to look forward
Strive and walk onward.

The sweat is trickling down my cheek
The rest in all this is what i seek
Sometimes i don't want to walk this no more
Other times i wish i had wings so i can soar

I'm down on one knee i really can't move
What am I doing, what am I trying to prove.
Hear my cry Lord I pray
In this long and weary journey let me stay

Why I Love thee......

You ask me why I love thee
its not because you are intelligent or dandy
Why do I love you?
it's not because you are a lawyer and can sue
I love you not because of your ambition
or even because of your attraction
Neither because of your beautiful eyes
Nor because of your attractive size
Not because you have a job and earn
Not because of the ease in which you learn
I love you not because you have a car
Or even because you have the cheddar
I love you with no conditions, judgments or criticism
I love you with no inhibitions and lots of optimism
So you ask why I love thee?
I say because I love thee.

Love freely......

Love me without fear
Trust me without questioning
Need me without demanding
Want me without restrictions
Accept me without change
Desire me without inhibitions
For a love so free....
Will never fly away.

~Dick Sutphen


Will you love me in December as you do in May,
Will you love me in the good old fashioned way?
When my hair has all turned gray,
Will you kiss me then and say,
That you love me in December as you do in May?

~James J. Walker

Love seeketh not itself to please,
nor for itself hath any care,
but for another gives its ease,
and builds a heaven in hell's despair.

~ William Blake

Crack in the wall...

We all love our walls smooth
in the bathroom, the kitchen and the bedroom to soothe
if you check out your house you'll see my proof
well painted or marbled, even the roof

We all love our walls clean
repainting them every so often
different colors they may be but a white is the ceiling
the loud colors like red and brown we try to soften

Then one day, as if we didn't see it coming
there's a flaw, a crack in our precious wall
as little as it may be, it causes this feeling
a discomfort so great almost to appall

The crack in the wall is referred to in conversation
it is now the center of attention
it becomes the cause of deviation
and eventually hurt and disintegration

The crack in the wall is a flaw in the plan
it needs to be looked at by someone
a constructor, a mason or one from the clan
it doesn't matter provided its done

Hours turn to days and days to weeks
The crack in the wall really needs a fix
it seems to be growing wide and longer
what to do about it we really need to ponder

Then the crack in the wall is finally checked
Luckily the wall wasn't so wrecked
however a large amount of paste is applied
for the crack in the wall to be nullified

Still the wall will not be the same
The sealed crack shows the shame
the damage that was can't be undone
the arguments and fights can't be unwon

The scar will forever be seen
nothing really could be done to redeem
as much as they tried to repaint the wall
the original smoothness is not there at all.
