Summer
Storm
My
heart brews madness with memories
of
a little white church and a cool summer's breeze.
Kindling sparks from an invisible source held
my heart on a string and my mind in a trance.
We were naked beneath the evergreen trees
as your soul whispered unending love to me.
Your love burned a deep red fever in me.
I can see you and smell you and taste you today
as I stand at the window and relive that day
when the world was ours and ours alone.
My being is shaken along with the storm
that brews in my heart like that last glass of tea
we shared on that day when He took you from me.
Summer
has crept up again
and one more year
has slipped through
the cracks
without you
my dear.
So
Long
I
once had a friend who shared all my dreams
I once had a friend or at least so it seems
For it's been so long since my friend went away
That I cannot see clearly - my memory is gray.
How
I long for those times we shared long ago
The freedom, the adventure, the time in the snow.
My secret soul aches for your strong dark hands
To hold me and touch me as only you can.
You
once were my husband and I was your wife
Full of dreams and visions, I loved my new life.
But something happened on life's twisted road
Now each time I see you my blood runs cold.
Our
friendship was ended from unending lies
It's not you I'm blaming - it came from both sides.
I once had a friend who was kind and true
I once had a friend and I thought it was you.
So
long dear dear friend, and have a nice life
For I'm over you... starting tonight.
Death's
Journey
"Rage
against the dying of the light", she says,
Well, I'm here to say there's darkness for years.
O these darn walls with their forty-three stripes
They laugh as they hold me here day and night.
Red,
bubbling blood flows through my veins
The walls are the ones that my body contains.
Freedom exists to everyone else with their
2.5 kids and their two-story house.
"Rage
against the dying of the light" I can hear
But I wasted my youth without even a care.
My long hair was yellow as corn long ago
Before the walls turned it white as snow.
I
am stuck here now, with these walls in this place
While shadows of past lovers dance in my face
Smiles and tans...I could be one of those
Nameless, faceless parts of the unending flow.
Death
now has gripped me and try as I might
to force the walls against the 'dying of the light'
They are useless,
But strange how they now have no fear
As the darkness has found me
and ravaged me here.
Reflection of Lost Love
I
have known love
I have been loved
I have loved you for quite some time.
I
have seen you
I have been seen by you
But I have not seen you for such a long time.
I
have touched you
I have been touched by you
Now I must touch you only in my mind.
I
want to love you
I want to see you
I want to touch you again.
My
heart aches for your companionship.
I
am incomplete, and even in the largest crowd,I am very alone.
My
breast yearns to press your head against me,
to run my fingers through your silver hair.
My
lips yearn for your passionate kisses
But, I am alone now.
O
sweet love,
mate of my soul,
stranger of my bed,
Look to my heart
Hear the words I do not speak.
Feel
me in the wind and touch me in the trees,
See me in the stars and the palest moonlight.
I
am wrapped inside you and we are lost together, Forever!
Rainbow's
End
The
sun's rays shine brightly through the broken storm clouds
Like spears of light piercing my faraway mind.
I find myself in a dream-like trance
When you and I were two of a kind.
When we were young I held your hand
And you were held close to my heart
Those who knew us knew us well
For it seemed we were never apart.
But
as the years go flying by, I see change in your eyes
The passion has slipped from our once hot romance
The colors have faded from our rainbow's array
It seems the meaning has gone away.
From our troubles we need not hide
But share with each other what we are feeling inside.
Let's remember to remind each other
That the grass is not greener on the other side.
So
please stay with me until the end...until the day we die
Strive with me...work with me...stay here close by my side.
When I think of all that we have endured
The teardrops fall freely from my eyes.
Please know that I thank God for you and all you mean to
me
And no matter what tomorrow sends
When all is said and done,
I rest secured with the knowledge that
At the rainbow's end, I know we'll still be friends.
