Poetry, lyrics, other words and art…
Be who you are
The power is inside
Reach for the stars
Have faith and not pride
Give voice to the voice
That resides in your heart
The words that you say
Can mend a soul torn apart
Speak kindness and love
And lead the right way
Smile and laugh often
Everyday
Time will soon come
And your ship will sail
Stay true in your faith
Live inside the pale
If I fall, I know the kiss of a thousand angel’s wings will catch me and set me upon the solid ground with a reassurance that can only come from God. If I lose a friend, my heart may break, but time will heal the heart and soul as our paths have been forever laid out before us in the book of life. We may not know what is written on those pages until we have ventured beyond them, but if we have faith in God, then it really doesn’t matter. Have faith and be well my friends!
For you I’d count the stars at night
Then bring them down to see
For you I’d swim the ocean’s wide
It’s what you mean to me
I’d give my life right now for you
Without a second guess
And feel the last beat of my heart
Because of you I’m blessed
I’d climb a height no one has climbed
And sing throughout the day
Then fly back down on eagle’s wings
Where in our bed we’d lay
For you there’s nothing I won’t seek
Just to see your smile
For you have made my life complete
And happy – if just for awhile
His chest felt like it was sinking, untethered to anything, so too did his broken heart. Tears flowed in unfettered streams down his cheeks wetting his shirt. Sunlight glistened like tendrils of silver flecks within each drop. As for his heart… It was bereft of the only love it ever knew.
Regret me not
For our time draws quickly
With each dusk
The following dawn
Has no guarantee
Indeed, for us we have only today
Surrender finds its way
Always
Captured in this moment
In this time
In this life
In your smile
Irresistible
She fills my life with beauty
No rose can compare
The tide has ebbed
And now turns
In a moment
Slowly the rise
And flow
Is at hand
Gentle the touch
Washed over
Emotions
How much control
Of her
Has this man
Lean back
And pretend
That this time
Will never end
Count the minutes
Count the hours
Morning rains
Midnight showers
For when it’s over
Yeah, when it’s done
We’ll look back
At all our fun
And talk about it
Down the road
Until then
Let’s just unload
Eight days from someday
A quiet night on the cove
Beneath the eyes
Of a moon so high
With no mention of snow
—
A beach that’s living in my dreams
Perhaps it will come true
Eight days from someday
A time for me and you
—
Your blue eyes sparkle, and they shine
Reflecting like the moonlight
Off the gentle lapping waves
Paradise, awe… just right
—
But here we are awaiting
For that future to come true
Eight days from someday
And I’ll spend it all with you
You know what I mean
Without me saying a word
I know what that look says
To all others, unheard
A brush of your skin
Excites me to my core
And we long for each other
Always wanting more
