A Colorado Girl

A Colorado girl captures my eye,
Such a beauty I have come by.
Eyes as blue as the lovely sea,
Hair as blonde as blonde can be.

I wish I knew this Colorado girl,
Who knows what emotions we could unfurl.
If only I could hear her voice,
That alone would make me rejoice.

A Colorado girl too far away,
A distance that leaves me in utter dismay.
If only she could hear my plea,
For love that may forever never be.

True Love At Last

Everything in the past,
The memories pushed away.
All for one final love,
No more heartbreaks I pray.

You have shown me true love,
What it's really about.
You gave me your heart,
Which holds no doubt.

My past was filled with sadness,
Never knowing if I'll find love.
But then you came along,
A true gift from God above.

That gift was true love,
True love at last.
Our future will be forever,
And our future is vast.

A New Feeling

A new feeling has arisen,
What could it be?
A new emotion of the heart,
Someone new for me?

What is this feeling that I feel,
This thing I have inside?
Could it be I found new love,
Someone new I can confide?

The pain I had is fading now,
Joy takes it's place.
The memories of the past,
Taken over by a new face.

A new path I have chosen,
To walk from now on.
The darkness has gone away,
I wake up to a new dawn.

Our First Date (Tri-fall)

The silence around us
as we see
the stars shooting across the skies...
From this beautiful grus
above me
the stars reflect into your eyes

The moonlight shines on you
in this night
bringing out your amazing smile...
And when the morning dew
comes in sight
our night together was worthwhile

This night was our first date
only us
I'll never forget holding you...
And as we accept fate
with a buss
the start of new love as sparks flew

Gates Of Love

The gates of love
Require two keys,
Only one is standing there
That one is me.

Where are you my love
Why did you leave,
I know we had problems
But I still believe.

Others walk by me
Love they are shown,
There's no possible way
I can walk in alone.

Where is my true love
Where has she gone,
I am lost and helpless
Like a newborn fawn.

I Hope You Dream Of Me

As your day passes by,
Without a single thought of me.
Not a memory of the heart,
You would rather let it be.

Of all the things that come to mind,
I am an absentee.
But when the night falls on you,
I hope you dream of me.

I hope you see me with you,
I hope emotions flow.
I hope you wake up crying,
Because you miss me so.

So as the days go on by,
And it's me you do not see.
When night comes and you sleep,
I hope you dream of me.

A Cursed Gift

I wish I didn't know how to write,
Or how to use a pen.
I wish this skill was forbidden,
The greatest of all sin.

I wish I didn't know how to think,
Or how to use my mind.
If they took it all away,
These words I would not find.

I wish I didn't know how to love,
Or even how to break.
Both of these leave me in fear,
In which I write as I shake.

So take this all away,
Leave me empty in my heart.
I do not want to write again,
It's tearing me apart.

When You Wake

When you wake, think of me,
You're in my thoughts as well.
Put a smile upon your face,
For in your heart I dwell.

Lie there a moment, don't you move,
Don't even blink an eye.
Imagine I am there with you,
Your sweet and loving guy.

Hold me in your arms so tight,
Don't ever let me go.
Tell me that you love me,
More than I will ever know.

I wake myself and do the same,
Imagine you're here too.
Before our day has begun,
There's only me and you.

Moving On

Moving on is so hard to do,
What can I do, I can't live without you.

Crying in my soul, dying in my heart,
Screaming in my head, why are we apart.

Moving on is tearing me up,
People all around me wishing me luck.

Nobody understands what is going on,
During sleepless nights, until the early dawn.

I try to move on but nothing yet,
Everywhere I turn, I'm caught in a net.

Wandering, staggering, depressed with my life,
Moving on, it cuts like a knife.

Lies (The Mirror Sestet)

Lies from you in the sweetest guise,
guise you were, spilling lies.
Tears on my pillow with all my fears,
fears of drowning in all my tears.
Pained with truth, my heart is stained,
stained with lies, my soul is pained.

'I love you' you say, your greatest lie,
lie about love between you and I.
True, you spoke it and I said it to you,
you said it as words, I said it as true.
With him you are not, that was a myth,
myth filled with lies, it's me you're not with.
