Thousand Deaths

 To part one soul suddenly from another 

is to die a thousand deaths each day,

separated by time and place

life seems to fade away. 


It is not of choice the path was carved,

for the journey of reckon would be long 

worlds apart the evil lurks and there is 

no writing all the wrongs. 



 


No One

 No one can take my dreams away, 

I look forward to them night and day. 

Touches my heart and fills my soul 

with this uncanny kind of hold. 


No one can take my dreams away,

I look forward to them night and day.

I feel your love and see you there

it's the magic we share. No one can

take my dreams away.

Deep

The hills echo the silence as the
mountains call out your name.
I feel the chill of your absence 
quivers with each passing day.

Years of standing still while running,
to escape what circumstance had chained.
Trying to make sense of this journey 
that somehow is deeply engrained.

Fades Away

 The silence calls my name

and the emptiness is felt, 

like the sorrow from above

when void of your love. 


Closing my eyes

to dream your presence, 

to feel your lips just 

once to mine.


Fading like the stars of the night

when the morning brings the light, 

another day to start in silence

as your image once more fades away.

Changing Of The Season

 My father always said upon leaving " I'll be seeing ya " I never once heard him say good bye. I have come to realize how final a goodbye actually is. With each goodbye the heart aches a little more. It is the changing of the season, dark, gray and a little cooler. I can't help but  think of the people who came into my life and for a moment redirected the path I was on.  I can't help but feel the loss that overwhelms my soul. It's not often I let the tears fall but it reminds me of the poem I wrote many years ago. " The weight of a tear" "as it rolls down my cheek it picks up memories"

New Day

There is a mountain so high

and I  can't see the sky, 

can't see the stars or 

the clouds passing by. 


Surrounded by darkness

the heaviness weighs,

as I look for tomorrow

to start a new day.

Heart Song

 The song played mellow

the heart string it pulls, 

a reminder of the sorrow

and the void it instills.


The full moon rises 

taking its place up in the sky,

documented journeys 

and the reason I still cry.


Can't change yesterday

those chapters are long gone,

can only write tomorrow

into this foolish heart song.

My Heart

 Someday when you're old and gray, you will hear me say " I ..." with all my heart.

Mine

 I had fallen into the moment

where dreams take me away, 

to the special place of love 

where I meet you each day.


Incredible the feelings 

that take me by surprise ,

when I open up my eyes

what I see can't be denied.


Stars in the heavens 

the moon bright and full, 

brings you a whole lot closer

as if you have a hold.


I don't know what you are thinking

or if I ever cross your mind, 

there's two sides of a story 

but life is revealing mine.

One

 Count the stars up in the sky, 

while dreaming of you and I.

From the moment we met 

life as put us to a test.


Time has passed on by

sometimes laughed and cried,

always felt your love 

we are forever one.

Melt

 Chapters are written

as the dreams reveal, 

the love I have for you

and the magic I feel.


It gets me through the day

as the energy is felt,

warming my heart 

as just a mere thought

cause me to melt.

Cleaning Cobwebs

 Tucked away in a box,

the years had passed on by, 

was a stack of memories

a copy of just one side. 


I put them through the shredder

and only than did I realize,

that I was doing the talking

and no one was by myside.


I felt a loss from deep inside,

for I kept a lost connection 

that toyed with my mind

as the years had passed on by.


There wasn't joy or sorrow

no emotion did I feel 

but the need to document

what within me was instilled.
