They always told me to play nice.. I never .....
When darkness arrives
When darkness arrives
and you’re all closed in
when the sky goes gray
thunder crashes around
when times are troubled
with fear and hurts
know that this love
will be there still
still through the hard times
strong as you need
here in the good times
to share your smiles
through all of life’s turns
this love remains yours
You...are my love
You are the essence of comfort and acceptance
Forever encouraging and loving me
For who I am and who I wish to be
Radiating your love like the warmth of a favorite blanket
I am wrapped within your heart.
You are like the ocean's tide
Constant and beautiful, yet forever changing
I watch in wonder at your many hues
Like that of a glorious sunset
The colors of you are infinite
You are the one I need to seek
When I experience a newness in life
I want to share it with you and only you
Like a sturdy oak I lean on your strength
When I feel like a Weeping Willow
You are eternal
You are woven into my soul forever
Etched into my life
You are My Love
remember this...
fate has a plan for you and for all of us...all you must do is
In The Evening
The lights have all been dimmed
the trees sway in the wind
sounds of the raindrops
lightly falling out my window
here in this quiet place
when time stands tall and still
music drifting quietly
played from another place and time
I sit and think of your eyes
looking back at mine
the days of endless chatter
the nights of embraces strong
time drifts along so slowly
lives interweaving
a little more each day
still the quiet
stirs loud across the night
I smell the fragrant hours
of the remainder of our lives
so complete in the knowing
a heart that is so real
do you hear the distant singing
those voices on the hill
where no one stands alone
I strain my ears to hear
sounds that come from nowhere
yet within my ever so deeply
they ring out deep and true
This little poem was written late tonight as the world seems to sleep. Do I really hear music or voices singing as I am typing? Yes, I do. I have no real explanation for it, there is no one there making a sound. The TV, the stereo, everything is off. The streets are quieter than normal, it even feels like the world is asleep. But I do hear it. I really wish I could make out the words and the tune, it would make for the best I have ever written. But I do not believe there is any way that what I feel could be put down in words. Why is something so very right sometimes and you just know it beyond doubt? I have no clue as to the answer to that one, all I know is, Katrina... I love you more than my words will ever tell you. And I will write it a million times in my life and never say it all, but when I look you in the eye, I have no doubt at all that you understand, and not a single doubt within me that you love me as well.
Tonight Again
sitting here alone tonight
with my memories of you
just me and this empty glass
going over things again
the sound of your laughter
ringing in my ears
the times we cried together
cutting through my tears
I hear that old song
playing on the stereo
and all I do is think of you
the pain starts once again
life has seemed to empty
since you walked away from us
when the clocks all stopped ticking
the day the clouds emptied out
Remembering the dreams we shared
the laughter we had planned
rainy nights and walking far
holding each others arms
time should be easing this aching
yet day-by-day it goes on
knowing your out there somewhere
not sharing the cutting blade
no matter how deep this pain can go
You’re in my heart forever
I'll cry myself to sleep again
as every night goes on
my heart cries out for you
in this empty empty darkness
When darkness arrives
and you’re all closed in
when the sky goes gray
thunder crashes around
when times are troubled
with fear and hurts
know that this love
will be there still
still through the hard times
strong as you need
here in the good times
to share your smiles
through all of life’s turns
this love remains yours
You...are my love
You are the essence of comfort and acceptance
Forever encouraging and loving me
For who I am and who I wish to be
