Summer Days

Twirling around in my front yard In the mid summer sun Outstretched arms Spinning around and around the merry go round Running near the crab apple tee That never tasted very good to me Playing tag and watching bumble bees Going to the corner store Coming home and going once more Playing dress up with moms high heels Bright red lipstick and silly hats Pink sponge curlers rolled up in our hair Living life without a care Telling secrets and chasing dreams Wishing on stars that fell from the sky...

Burdens of Life

Like raindrops that hang on to the lip of the leaves Weighing it down towards the ground Stretching it to it’s limits And yet more rain burdens it’s outstretched limb Beating it further down One hit after another Wind blowing furiously to add to its pressure But resilient is that leaf for it holds on Strong and fierce Insistent on holding on to the branch That in turn holds onto the tree Rain subsides and it resumes position Bouncing back into full form Yet stronger and more nourished Radiating...

I'm Sorry

I’m sorry for our time together Sorry you couldn’t storm the weather I regret the pain you inflicted on me My love and heart you would not see I’m sorry I stayed at home being domestic all day While you went to work and then out to play I’m sorry I was patient and made excuses for you So sad I really believed in you too I feel bad that you think you deserve all the best And that we, your family, can have what is left I’m sorry I went out to do everything Shopping, errands lumber yard too Thought...

Melting

Frostbitten heart waiting for the thaw Slowly melting, Numbness subsiding Waiting for the day there will be no more hiding The puddle on which the ice is melting is nothing more than tears Fears that confront me need to be given an opportunity I glance to the future I must take a chance But fear and pain have been my friends for so long It’s hard to let go, I just don’t know He may be perfect he may be the one But that’s what I thought of the other one The one who held my heart in the palm of...

Twisting threads in rainbow colors Black, white, brown and red are hues that make great lovers Handprints of their offspring in the sand All the same just different shapes and sizes All having blood run through their veins Just different features and different names Laughing out loud playing and singing We all should understand We are all human beings Innocent as they are Some will grow up and not mix anymore Thinking only by rumor they aren’t welcome anymore Word and prejudice will enter their...

Wingtips of Love

Don’t leave me hanging on the wingtips of your love Weeping like a snow white dove that lost it’s one true love Time is passing my heart is crashing Flowing into a river headed for the sea Release me catch me show me you care For on your fish line of love my heart you have snared Flow into me like cells flowing in my veins Take me and make love to me in the pouring rains Paint me with your hands like I am your canvas Caress me love me take control Don’t leave me rolling down into a never ending...

We shared some special moments many years ago Nothing to deep on your part as usual for a man A few tender kisses but I refused to go that far Until I was certain you would never leave me I wanted you to please me not just there to tease me With you emotions and your love It didn’t work out you were just like all the rest Lying and cheating and breaking my heart I’m so glad I put you through the test And came out with my dignity I often though of you throughout the years Time heals wounds and...

Choices

The color of my pain today is a muddy brown Leaving my face wearing a frown Did I make the right choices way back then Was my pain enough reason to walk away Would they have changed had I decided to stay Sometimes I cry and feel so much pain Thinking about my kids and their life away from me Did I do the right thing or is it them who will pay the highest cost Reflecting on the last few years makes me feel sad and brings me to tears But you didn’t love me never showed me you cared When I was...

A Moment

Let us start over with a clean and pure slate Let me say I love you before its to late Open your heart and let me in Taste of the passion that burns, desires that run wild Let the flames of candles light our nights, take us up to unknown heights Throw away inhibitions and shame, forget about the world Dive in to ecstasy, lust and savage pleasure where time is void of speed and measure Take charge of the moments that will linger in our hearts, to fill a tender space at times when were apart Lets...

Fight For You Place In Heaven

Keep the faith and always know that God does follow you wherever you go All of our life we are in constant tests for God to see who holds out the best During difficult times did we whimper and whine or were we strong, steadfast and brave Were we consumed with this life or remembering our grave Did we waste or did we save, are things to contemplate starting today When sorrow strikes you it's good to cry when someone passes to say goodbye But never let that sorrow eat you say thank God and move on...
