You
01/06/05 |
I have searched high above the sky to find the one for me
For the longest time I thought it was not my destiny
Then like the sun breaking through on a cloudy day, it was you
You and only you, and I gave my love to you
Now that we found each other, I will be there for you no matter what
Put your hands into mine and we'll take off to the skies above
If we cry, we cry together
If we stay strong, we will be strong together
Sailing cautiously without knowing what my reality will be
I know it will be all right as long as you are with me
You touch me with your soul love
Soft like the feathers lying on a dove
Like an angel watching over me
I once was blind, but now I see
You protect me from my fears
Ever since the day you appeared
Gonna make you mine til the end of time
Simply put I, live my life for you.

Is It The End
05/27/05 |
This is our fork in the road
Our last episode
There is nowhere to go
We both know
Do I bow out gracefully?
You hold the key
I used to know what to say
Now the words won't come my way
Whenever you call me
Whenever you want me
Whenever you need me
I'll be around
You don't have to worry
I'll be there in a hurry
Just call out my name
My love will always be the same
There's always a chance
Because a tiny spark remains
And sparks turn to flames
And our love can burn again

Still
02/01/06 |
People would say when we first met, how a woman like you did I get
How in the world could I attract, someone so fine like that
I played straight to your heart, thought that we would never part
But you betrayed me with a kiss, you and your cheating lips
To keep from cracking I reminisce, the birth of our kids, our first kiss
Our first house I was so proud, I even helped your family out
But someone planted seeds and weeded you away from me,
You believed in the trickery
Didn't I give you the best I had, didn't I make happy, not sad
Wanted to live the rest of my life with you, thought I would die with you
Hold you through the coldest winters nights, didn't want you out of my sight
From the sky above and back to the ground, my love for you was so profound
I hide a thousand tears inside my bed, maddening thoughts fill my head
This craziness is killing me, just the thought of you not loving me
But I forgive the pain you put me through, because, I still love you

You Can Count On Me
02/15/06 |
When we met I always knew
That I would have strong feelings for you
If you ask if I love you I'll say I do
And the depth of my love is true
You are like a diamond so bright
My dark life you light
You warmed my heart
Right from the start
Your love set my soul free
I love the way you love me
With your love I can do anything
You're like a rainbow in spring
When I think about how much I love you
I pray that I am not being a fool
If I am a fool, you make it feel so good
Like nothing I ever imagined would
So, I will give you all me
Every thing I have, unselfishly
There is nothing that I can give you in exchange for what you have given me
For now the scales are unbalanced, but you can always lean on me.

Pier Fishing
12/20/07 |
It never stops—the wind rushing.
Constantly roaring past my ears.
They never cease—the waves breaking,
Committing suicide on the sand.
Birds tack into the wind, suspended,
Hovering still-lifes pinned against the sky.
Why don't they just go the easy way?
There's water in three directions.
In the slower currents beneath the surface,
Fishes hide from hooks laid to pull them
Into the rush of wind and crush of wave
Where the gasp of death awaits.
The pier and I are all that stand still,
Baiting, waiting, baiting, waiting,
While the shining earth glitters and rolls
Under poles and line and feet.
We wait for that rush of adrenalin
From the battle of hands against fins,
Until silver scales break the water, and-
Our eyes meet, just as he lets go.
Water and wind rush by, hour by hour,
Until the jerk, the hook tearing flesh,
And on the pier she flops, silver scales
And fearful eye shining in the sun.
I put her in a bucket to stop her gasping;
She turns restlessly in her new cage.
So delicate, so beautiful, so strong,
But she'll be shark bait on the next cast.
And we think we stand above it all, so still.
But it never stops--the cycle of birth, hunger,
And death, the death that preserves the next life.
It never stops—life rushing to its final shore.
