A dove

Thank you for making the stars shine,

For everything you are and for being mine,

There is no other person in the world for me,

No shadows blanketing my eyes I can plainly see,

That for me you are perfect in ever aspect in every way,

Trust in me I will show you love every hour every day,

I saw this perfect flower blooming the other day,

I paused for a second or two it remined me of you,

How when I first found you all brittle and blue,

I planted love in your heart in front of my eyes you grew,

Then this Flower Bloomed with such inspiration and love,

Right then I new I had two pure white doves.........

Perfect Moment

I was walking by the river as it flows in the sea,

I saw you sitting by the river and fell to my knees,

You looked so peaceful siiting alone there,

I sat back and watched, to come closer should I dare,

Quietly I whisper your name it flows in the wind,

You gently touched your hair not noticing so a kiss I send,

Gently you touched your face as if you felt me,

You closed you're eyes then I wounder if it's me you see,

Brave man that I an took the chance I needed a closer look,

I saw you're hair gently blowing, your face was an angel I swear,

You glanced around as if you knew I was there,

Then we joined hands and danced in the night air.

Go on

The world is full with hopes and fears that get broken,

And when new ones arrive trapped in our hearts without being spoken,

The day goes by and the hours drift away,

And in your heart your dreams seem to stay,

With no intentions on letting anyone know,

Your true hearts desires will eventually show,

In a crowded room or maybe when your alone.

In the dead of the silence when you can't hear a tone,

You will eventually realize what you've a;ways known,

That yout dreams and hopes never die they just go on.....

The Storm

The winds, the showers fall upon the wall,

The lightning strong with a bang,

Hidden away in the covers I lay,

As the rain drips on the window,

Thunder rolling, my heart drumming,

The winds change about in a haste,

The windstorm stills in the dead of the night,

I can still hear the showers against my window,

Sounding like rocks throbbing against the glass,

Petrified as the window vibrates immovable,

Vibrating harder, I yank the covers over my face,

Terrified of the hardness of the shower,

In the still of my focus the storm stands still,

Ultimately leaving in the still of the night.....

Part of a Lifetime

Once there was this boy and yet not knew his name,

I fell in love with him but was not to blame,

I went to his house to meet him the first time,

I knew when I laid eyes on him soon he would be mine,

He asked if it was snowing or if it would rain,

After I laid eyes on him I knew my love would remaim,

Cut as a button beauty only skin deep,

The pounding of my heart didn't miss a beat,

His beauty took my heart and put it on a rack,

Now that he has my heart I'll never get it back,

No one can have your heart and hold it as tight as me,

For in my life and my hand your heart will always be...

Remeber Me

I was walking along the beach one sunny day,

And I watched as the tides slowly slipped away,

I look behind at the footprints I had left in the sand,

Slowly I walk as I had a cane in my right hand,

I think to myself of the footprints I will leave behind,

Will they be secure or wash away in time,

Will my memories carry on with each passing day,

Or will the people I love the most let them slip away,

My footprints in this life I leave for you,

So you can carry on knowing my love for you was true,

With each passing breath and each smile I had,

So raise your head my love for I am not dead,

For in your heart is where my footprints will be,

So that with each passing day you will remember me……..

I see Now

I can still hear you saying my name,

But now it’s just not the same,

I can hear you lauhter down the hall,

as I sit and stare at a chalk white wall,

I see you rubbing the sleep from your eyes,

and the look on you face of total suprise,

When I told you to stay home,

because I did not wish to be there alone,

I can see the bus picking you up,

and I laugh when you try act tough,

your friends think that your so cool,

when you try to act just like a fool,

I see the sadness on you face,

when I told you your pet was in another place,

I can see the joy and smile return again,

when I told you I had met a new friend,

I can see the happiness on your face,

When I told you about our brand new place,

I hold you close and I draw you near,

I whisper I love you in your ear,

I can see how much you mean to me,

Now I wish you could help me see,

Just why you had to go away,

And why you were not allowed another day,

I cry from deep inside,

I know you were full of pride,

With all these things that I could see,

Why can’t I see you here with me?….

The man

Here stands a man before you a man beaten down and broken heavyhearted,

Who had a dream that he never started,

He had a goal that he had lost,

He paid the price and it was a heavy cost,

The burden that he must carry through his life,

It is filled with pain, Sorrow and strife,

He once was the man to put the smile on her face,

Now it is a person in another place,

Is he the one in your dreams at night,

The one you see holding you tight,

Or is the one who she sees in spite,

That encompasses her days and comforts her nights,

If it is the one who is done in spite,

Can he honestly tell you everything is alright,

If it is the one who you hold so dear,

Your life will be filled with happiness without fear,

So here stands a man strong, proud and true,

A man you can see who’s love is true.

Ever After

It was a dusk morning waiting for the sun to rise,

Awaking from a sleepless night I imagined I was gazing into your eyes,

I must have been dreaming because you weren’t there,

I walked through out the house, I couldn’t find you anywhere,

The only thing I found was a single rose,

Knowing how much you care, tears begin to flow,

Only of happiness and joy was m tears,

Thinking of all the time we can have together,

People say we’re crazy and fell to fast,

But we both know what we have will last,

We’ll grow old and have children, you and me,

Watch them grow old happily ever after we’ll be.

Holding you

I was sitting on a park bench one day,

I heard a child's laugh coming my way,

Pausing for a second thinking that could have been you,

Six years now since that day only if I knew,

They told me it wouldn’t hurt I I would feel no pain,

Now six years later and what did I have to gain,

An empty place in my heart that could never be fulfilled,

They never told me how I would feel after it was done,

Who knows you could have been a daughter or a son,

I come back to reality when I heard a cry,

The little child fell some how the mother right by his side,

I started crying wishing that was me holding you…

Drifting Time

The day seams to go so slow with out you here,
The hours seem to drift away without you near,
There is an empty feeling in the house tonight,
I look out the window at the stars so bright,
I make a wish that we’ll be together once again,
Then I hear you call my name in the soft wind,
I will always love you is what I hear you say
And I will hold you close as you go on your way,
Even though I’m not with you where you want me to be,
My love is always with you as you can plainly see,
So when the day and hours seem to drift away.
Just remember I am here with you to stay……

The Challenge

I feel the gentle breeze on my face,

As I’m Challenging this long race,

I close my weeping eyes to say my grace,

My fast, hot breath slows it’s pace,

So hard to live this life I try,

And I watch everything pass me by,

Why do I try so hard to accomplish,

What can’t be so easily accomplished,

Every night my eyes do cry,

At those sad and long good-byes,

I want you close to my heart,

But I know now I have to make a new start…..
