I heard a new song as day was breaking, Rising from the heart of the waiting earth, As if the world from deep sleep was waking, Singing a welcome message of rebirth. The Winter has been hard, and icy winds Have sucked the joy from every living thing Casting a doleful blight on hearts and minds. But new hope stirs with the coming of Spring, And as new green shoots raise their tender heads Above the barren ground, so my hea...

I've waited patiently to be the woman by your side; I've watched my other romancesas they ran their course and died; I've always wanted you, but you were so very far away; Never in my loving armsat the end of each long day;  Now we meet again,after 'lo these many years; And the love I feel for youis worth the time I spent in tears; Though you are not yet free, my time I'll calmly bide; For I still dream of the dayI'll be...

I pray you, do not trample on my dreams. Though you may only see this outer shell, A frail thing of flesh; this outward reality, Is of no greater substance than the air,Masking the real truth that lies withinFrom the unperceptive gaze of the world,Blinded by the harsh glare of common sense. Outwardly I may be on the dread pathThat leads to mortal decay and old age,My limbs may now be clothed in sagging flesh, Where in my...

The coldness stretches out, touching all cornersBare trees, bare everythingThe air is crisp and chilly, seeping in through the gapsYou disappear in the silenceWinter’s arms outstretched around you, trying to drag you inThe bleakness gripping you with icy fingertipsThe days are short and the nights are longThe sky is dark. BlackEndlessAchingLonely days and lonely nightsEverything is gray and desolateAloneBut then you remem...

Was I never enough?   I know I have given my all I have loved you more than I could ever love myself I have given you all there is to me But still, you have left me Alone, broken and irreparable   It’s incomprehensible, You’ve loved someone, but they don’t love you as much, Or would they even love you at all? It’s even unfair, But has life never been one?   People love and they get their hearts broken, People stay out of...

When my world is darker than I can understand.When my sky turns gray with no light in sight.When nothing turns out the way, I've planned.When I can’t sleep at all, through the lonely night.I turn to you like a flower bends toward the sun.You can turn me around when I’m upside down.I turn to you ‘cause you’re the only one.When I need inspiration, when I need advice.When my insides are wracked with anxiety.You lift my spiri...

I don't want to hear it.All about how you became this way, Or any way at all. Face all the facts. It was your decision to make your life hell,And now you fall. But don't you tell me such a whiny story. I don't want to hear it, 'cause... Take away the drugs. Take away the booze.Take away the pain that's in the news. Take away the screaming. Take a way the fighting.What is left but peace in this big blue sky? I just want to...

“Do you believe in heaven?” That sudden question dragged me from my daydreams as I was sitting by the plane’s window seat. I stared at the guy momentarily as he took his seat beside mine. “I suppose. Don’t we all?” I answered, almost disinterestedly. I liked talking to strangers, but I was hoping to spend my one hour ride in peace. “I guess, human as we are, we will always want to believe in heaven or something similar.”...

“Only if you know how to." I heard that as I saw him wipe those tears away. I stopped dead in my tracks momentarily forgetting why I was in that empty hallway again. I longingly watched his back disappear into the men’s room with drooping shoulders, seemingly carrying the weight of the world. Could a heart become whole and crumble into pieces all at the same time over and over? It’s been what? Two or three months? I’ve lo...

Dear GodIs it too much to ask for companionship in this lifeAs I walk this path of loneliness you dealt for meWhile you look down from aboveSomeone to hold my hand, kiss my lipsTo smile and assure me compassionTo show me the meaning of loveWith every beat of my fluttering heartWith your own hands you created this imperfectionThis monstrosity I see everyday in the mirrorEyes that stare backHiding pain and fear amongst the...

Somewhere beyond and out thereA place far better than hereWhere the only way is truthWith no room for any lieWhere eyes are always openAnd hearts never become closedA place of brightness and loveDevoid of darkness and hateSome say this is where we comeThe place where we will all goThat this cold world is our deathAnd the warmth there is our birthWhere there's no more need to fightAnd one's self can be at peaceWhere there...

My Body is shaking Heart close to breaking Just who the fucking hell Did that jerk think he was taking? You do not force a woman Down on her knees That is not her place You moronic sleaze! You ask a woman nicely Perhaps seduce her with finesse But you absolutely never coerce Because of your physical prowess A woman’s heart and body Are hers alone to share If given to you freely Treat them with the utmost of care!

It takes so long To recover and heal From a physical attack It’s so hard to deal The physical pain Will eventually go But life is never the same Yet not many will know Fear will always linger Deep within my heart A simple tap upon the shoulder Might cause me to start Try as I might Memories often creep in I will never truly escape The lingering terror within Forgetting is not an option Try as hard as I might Memories and...

There are two kinds of evil men,There are two kinds of men,There are the evil men who think they are doing good,And there are the evil men who know they are doing evil.I am Cain who killed Abel.

In nightly dreams,I find myself outside a house Made entirely of stained glass windows, a vision of such beauty, the play of light and colors that mesmerize Contrasting hues that fit together perfectly Every wall, each window, every door, covered in stunning glass, images that represent life, and mark memories made within My curiosity and imagination begin to work What happens in that house, behind the stained glass windo...
