How Long Is Forever

How long is forever?
As long as the sun shines ...
As long as the birds sing ...
As long as the baby coos ...
As long as the lion roars ...

How long is forever?
As long as the heart beats ...
As long as the eyes see ...
As long as the ears hear ...
As long as the mouth speaks ...

How long is forever?
As long as the stars shine ...
As long as the seasons change ...
As long as there is a universe ...
As long as the robins sing ...

How long is forever?
As long as I can see your face...
As long as I feel your touch ...
As long as I can hear your whispers ...
As long as eternity lasts ...


You Said...

You said... goodbye and my world screeched to a halt.
You said... no more and my heart turned into stone.
You said... I regret and my eyes welled up with tears.
You said... I trusted you and my ears became deaf to your accusations.
You said... I take back but forever and a vow can't be unbroken.
You said... I loved you or the image I had of you.
You said... There'll never be another but there already is another.
You said... I never lie but that in itself is a lie.
You said... I'll never leave you then you turned and walked away.

Walk Together

Your eyes I want to look at me with renewed love and tenderness.
Your hands I want to tremble as you unbutton my buttons one by one.
Your words I want once more to reach a part of me that is yours alone.
Your arms I want to wrap around me so tightly so I can't run away from you.
Then when you enter me and we become as one, I want old feelings to merge with new feelings.
As we both claim destinies charted eons ago.
Creating new strengths together that can't be taken away.
Whatever roads are ahead of us I want us to both remember if we walk together hand in hand we will never again lose our way.

I Want To Know


I want to know why you sat me upon a pedestal...
When you know I am only human.
I want to know why you swore that you would always be here for me.
When you went in the opposite direction- Alone.
I want to know why you made a vow Then undone the very act that made that vow possible.
And said the chilling words, I take back all I've said.
I want to know why you accused me of living a double standard.
When you are the biggest hypocrite of them all.
I want to know why you ever thought you loved someone like me with all my faults?
I want to know what it is about you that looks so innocent but hides a multitude of prejudices?
That swears he feels passion but is incapable of love?
I want to know what gives you the right to play God with another person's heart?
Too listen but not hear?
Too judge without compassion, and then to scream for mercy for thine own self?
