To Watch You Sleep

To Watch You Sleep

In the still, frozen air,
In the dead of winter,
A loving heat protects me.

In silence of night,
In the whisper of skin against sheet,
Our love plays a masterpiece.

In the tickle of your breath,
In the steady beat of your heart,
I am comforted by your rest.

In a world filled with chaos,
In a search for answers and solutions,
Your love gives me hope.

Love Is Blind

Love Is Blind

I see your love in every sunset.

I see your laugh in every twinkling star.

I see soft wisps of your hair in every willow branch that sways in a breeze.

I see your smile in every soft colored petal in bloom.

In every mountain that stands boldly against the sky, I see your courage.

In every cloud that floats above me, I see your gentle sighs.

In every crashing wave, I see you strength of will.

In every stance I take to view these things, I can see only you.

A Solitary Moment in Utopia

A Solitary Moment in Utopia

My spirit is replenished with the moist fragrance of every dew caressed leaf and petal.
My skin has made love with the rays of the sun.
The sounds of living Earth resonate with my soul.
My eyes observe every incredible detail of my surroundings.
The graceful beauty of life I find here, reminds me of you.

Hostage

Hostage

There is too much passion
In this place that keeps me.

There is too much familiar
In my home.

And I leave to find
No more reason to hide.

And I miss, all too much,
My hiding places.

While it instills such rage,
It’s corners hold my dreams.

I have confessed all that was in me
To its shadows.

Knowing all too well,
It holds me here, this place.

To escape,
Never means to be free.

Waiting For Destiny

Waiting for Destiny

A young girl
Spirals through the fields.

Her heart leaps
To peek over the mountains.

She floats through the valleys
To the concrete jungle.

Smiling at its promise,
She returns to her forest,

And confides in the stars
Her dreams of that promise fulfilled.

The Art of Living

The Art of Living

Where did you come from,
And where will you go?
With so many questions,
How can you know?

We trudge and we travel.
Onward, we fly!
There’s no turning back, now.
Don’t even try.

We live and we learn.
We’ll feel sadness and joy.
Following your heart
Is a major ploy.

What makes you tick?
Who will you inspire?
Who in this world
Will set your passions on fire?

We don’t know why.
We don’t know when.
We don’t have the answers
As imperfect men.

One day we’ll get there
And when we arrive,
We’ll yell and be thankful
To just be alive!

A King's Fall

A King’s Fall

Oh the sermons he did preach
As clear as water on the beach.

Down the sidewalk he would creep
With his promises to keep.

Oh the speeches he would tell,
For the mission he wouldn’t fail.

Oh the marches he would lead,
So honest to his creed.

Before he changed the law,
The great King had to fall.

The Path I've Chosen

The Path I’ve Chosen

There, the light will shine
And night will not bring fear;
Not one outside expectation,
Just my voice to hear.

There will be new faces,
A different life design,
No set routine or places,
A world that is all mine.

There is a new beginning;
Always a lesson to learn.
Forever I shall sing my song
For only happiness to earn.

Let me spread my wings
And soar across the sky.
Though you’ll question my success,
You have to let me try.

Our Town

Our Town

In this town, you will see
How life should really be;

Where neighbor will greet neighbor
And ask a friendly favor.

A gentleman tips his hat,
As an old woman feeds her cat.

A young girl will cross the street
For her mother there to meet.

And the boy will make a wish
Just to catch a fish.

Yes, in this town you’re sure to see
How life should really be.

The Moment

The Moment

What is it I see
Behind your eyes
That stills your voice
And fills your sigh?

What dream is it
That wins your heart,
So you hesitate
Each time we part?

What is it I find
There in your smile,
That makes the wait
So worth while?

What is it you treasure?
Oh, can it be,
At the end of your gaze,
You would find me?
