True Love Is...
Patient, Honest and Kind
Not Envious or Boastful
Proud or Rude
Love is not Selfish
Nor does it Manipulate
Love does not easily Anger
But, without fail
Love always Protects, always Trusts
Hopes and Preserves
UNCONDITIONALLY
Love is the most Precious of all gifts
And if Nurtured
True Love is Forever!
Broken Cookie Cutter
It's a past you remember
When you painted within the lines
Where everyone had the same dreams
And they all lived dressed in lies
The charmed life behind the picket fence
A smoky memory from behind
There you go
There you run
There you fly
Off to catch your star
Cuz there's a
Broken cookie cutter in the drawer
And freedom molds your new way
Momma's voice becomes faint
As you create your own day
Brush away the eyelet
And let the sun spill the future in
Where blank colors paint the canvas bright
And you become real
The flood warms your face from a frozen past
In a gold dust dance from ahead
There you go
There you run
There you fly
Essence
I need to see you to look into your eyes
I long to dive into that hazel window
And swim to the depths of your soul
But, it is not for me to find my way into your heart
Though I wish I could be the one to heal you
And everytime I close my eyes
It is the essence of your soul I ache for
It is a James Dean mystiqe you have
For your soul is old with wisdom, young with desire
You eyes are filled with hope though tainted by pain
The moments where we melded together
Could not be relived, but in my cherished dreams
Where they'll tantilize my wonder
Aria of the Moon
Surrounding the cunning creatures of the night
Lighting the way of lovers through a world filled with wonder
Silent beauty in a time standing still
For those who have within them
The power to wonder
The power to awe
Living in a world so lost in its race
There is solace
In the glow that dances with the leaves
To the Aria of the Moon
Cast a Stone
Though my life has little meaning
My business is of no concern
But, to justify your weakness
Attack my strength, bring me to my knees
Cast a stone upon my heart
Even if you know me not
I live by rules that don't fit yours
And through the undoing of my ventures
Your life redeems its failures
Cast a stone upon my heart
I'm just, to you an outcast
A loner in a world you rule
And when your rejection tears my soul
Your broken heart won't feel so lost
Cast a stone upon my heart
And keep me in your rememberance
For one day, as you look back
The stones you cast will be yours to own
Your unwelcome burden to bear
A Child Falls
With tiny fingers
Pug Nose
Full of wonder, the world is a dream
First steps, so unsure
He falls.....He cries
Reaching for the skies
Mother.....Father.....precious finger tips search
Rewarded by a ride into flight
Into the safe warmth of love.
Treasure
Searching for the rare emotion
Emotion of everlasting power
So Sweet
So Intense
Destructive in every way
Treasure so elusive
To live for
To die for
Piercing the heart of the strongest warrior
Bringing him to his knees
The rare emotion, what disease
When do we learn
The higher the climb
The rarer the find
It shatters with our touch
Leaving us to a destiny of lusty loneliness
To die in the void of its absence
