DAMAGED

How does
A damaged
Heart heal
Went to
My doctor
But there
Was no pill
Tried the Library
But there
Were no books
Spent half
A day
All I got
Were dirty looks
Gazed at the moon
Last night
Couldn't sleep 
Oh what a sight
How does 
A damaged heart
HEAL
Does it try again
Or just be still?

MAYBE

Maybe one day
My heart
Will heal
The pain
And
The hurt
Will disappear
Maybe then
I can finally
Let go
And
Let the 
Tides of life
Just flow
...Maybe

THEM

Let them laugh
They are just
Jealous
Of what
We have
Because love
Like this
Don't come
Overnight
It took
Hard work
To get 
It right
In a world
Gone mad
Just know
That you 
Are the 
ONLY ONLY
One!

BEGIN

In  a world
Full of hatred
Where do we find 
The world of our
Dreams
Should we stop
Searching for
Heroes
Or should we
Become that
Which we seek
After all
There's no fun 
In being the 
Villain
In storybooks
They always
Get captured in the
END
...Or is this
Where we begin
To teach our children
Love?

COME QUICKLY

Bathe me
In your 
Smile
Lather me
In your embrace
Take me in your
Arms
Hold me
For all time.
Give me
And me
Alone
The joy that I have
Never known
Love me
Like I have
Dreamed of
For so many many nights
But could you
Please hurry
For I am 
Weary from waiting.

Fairytale

She pictured herself
A queen
Her kingdom lay vast
In her mind.
She thought that love
Could be found
Around every corner
When in reality
It was the one thing
That she could not sustain.
Maybe she should give up looking
But it's been said that
All is fair in love and war.
So she keeps searching
For a love that
Never comes
She keeps hoping 
That maybe the next man
Will be the right one.
But fairytales are meant
To be read
Not lived
And happy endings
Rarely come
...THE END
BACK TO PAGE ONE!

ME

Never had
A reason
To smile
Only tears
Gave me comfort
For a while
Until the day
I believed
In myself
Took those fears
Placed them
On a shelf
Became me
In spite of
all doubt
Found the
Strength
To carry on
A new day
A new song!

ONE DAY

One day
We will close 
Our eyes 
For the
Last time.
People will stand
And speak 
Of us
As if 
They knew 
Our minds 
As if
They knew 
Our hearts 
As if our souls 
Were entwined. 
One day
We will shed
Our bodies 
For a pair 
Of gossamer wings.
One day
WE SHALL TRULY BE FREE!

NOTICE

She didn't notice
That her smile
Had faded
Years ago
Nor that
Her clothes
Were no
Longer fashionable.
She didn't notice
That men
Did not seek
Her attention
As they once had
That she was
Now invisible.
She didn't notice
Her dreams 
Slowly slipping away
As sand
Sifts through
Gnarled fingers
...SHE DIDN'T NOTICE THAT SHE NO LONGER CARED!

MY LOVE

My love
Is all
that I can 
Give to you
My heart
It lay shattered
Before greeting you
My soul floundered
In quicksand
As I waited
Aimlessly for you
So my love 
I smile
I take 
Your hand
And I welcome you
HOME!

SHOW ME

Hold me
Love me
Place 
NO ONE
Above me
Stay with
Me
Play with
Me
Spend the
Rest of
Your days
With me
...SHOW ME WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

RRIGHT AND WRONG

Everything wrong 
With the world 
Can be made right 
If only 
Truth and Justice 
Would take up
The fight.
War is hell
Is what they say
Yet grown men
Still come out
To play.
Others are born 
With silver spoons 
In their mouths 
Toxic behavior 
Who will pull
The spoons out.
Children living
With no faith 
With no hope 
Yet who 
Among us 
Will balance 
Life's tightrope??

I GO ON

Like a bird
In the sky
I soar
Like a lion
Hunting prey
I roar
Like a flower
In spring 
I bloom  
Like a smile 
That brings 
Happiness not doom
Like love
That once was
Like the cooing 
Of a long lost dove 
No matter 
What is
Or
What was
I go on!

THOUGHTS

Thought we would
Grow old
Together 
But all
We did
Was grow
Apart 
Thought we would 
Have a 
happy ending 
But life
Had plans
Of its 
Own 
Now here 
we stand
Separated
Hearts worn
Love tossed
Aside 
Left only
With thoughts
Of you
And with my
Foolish pride! 

YOUR CUP

I took
A sip
Of your love
Found it
warm exhilarating
I could not walk
Could not move
I became lightheaded
Unsteady unsure
Intoxicated with
Your kiss
With your touch
Frozen by
Your smile
I reached
For another sip
But your cup
Was empty
And you were GONE.
