What My Tears Are Trying To Say
We will never
Sing together again.
And I want to
Run into the night
And catch you.
Snatch you,
To ease my pain.
But I just have my pen
To write.
What my tears are trying to say
Tonight.
Yet I know it's all
In vain.
We will never
Dance together again.
And I want to
Run into the rain.
Hold you close,
Overdose

Want To Kiss You.
I want to kiss you.
By the ocean.
Before I miss you
Forever.
Memory
That poetry in motion.
Is all that is left
To sever.
Never again
Will we feel the flame.
Our once sacred dance.
Now,
Two people lame.
I want to kiss you.
In the night.
Just feeling our bodies,
Light
- Our soul.
As we roll
In deep satisfaction.

Fleeting
I gave you a solitary rose
So beautiful while it lived.
But sadly it had to die.
Now it's just part of a memory
Of a candlelit dinner
With you and I.
Before the breeze
Carried that sweet fragrance away.
Beauty
So fleeting.
Remember
Never the time to stay.
I gave you a solitary love
So beautiful while it lived.
God, why did it have to die? .
Now just part of a memory
Of someone
Who once made you sigh.
Before the breeze

My Woman
You are the delicate petals of my flower
The joyous sun at waking hour.
You saturate my soul
Like april shower,
And you glow
Like a sunset sinking,
Winking,
A fond goodnight.
A waterfall,
You teem in silver cascade.
I sit and watch
Through sun kissed forest glade
- As you bloom
With colours of Autumnal morning
And perfume of a new day dawning.
I drink it in
With bated breath
Holding it until death
Or until you say
You are my woman.

Broken
Do you know what it's like to be broken
Wish this morning that you had not woken
When all words of love have been spoken
And hopes disappear in the night.
So you know how much silence can wound
A beating heart that fate had harpooned
Laying shipwrecked forever marooned.
And pain reappears at first light.
Yes, broken we hang by a thread
Over memories and new paths to tread
Maybe stars if we look straight ahead
Look behind for the scars where we bled.
And i just need one hand to hold
Not to die in merciless cold.

You.
You are the summer days, the jasmine of my mind
The orchestra that plays when hearts at first entwine.
The stars across the sky, the twinkle of your eye, are lit by the same fire
A song from the same choir that turned the moonlight blue.
The sun after the rain, the breeze as angels passed
The scent of love's refrain
High seas tied to a mast.
The danger and the thrill upon the highest hill
-We clung so tight in love
And wonderous night above
Heaven's embers, our spangled view
My soul remembers, one touch from you.

Pic
I have your pic in my head
I take it each night to bed
And wake it in the morning sun
To tell you our day has begun.
I kiss your crazy hair
To know that you're still there
Sleep with you in a chair
A photo extraordinaire.
I have your pic in my heart
All feelings will impart
With this snap, from Cupids' dart
Sends my pulse rate off the chart.
Captured without a net
One butterfly I'll never forget
Could seduce a sweet sunset
To rise again over morning dew
That pic, my lasting treasure
Of you.

You Really Are.
In memories I ache.
Kisses keep me awake
That never occurred.
Some might have preferred
Not to have loved and lost.
But your smile
Was worth the cost.
Que sera sera.
I bow to my last hurrah
And know
That you really are
- A part of me.
The lovelight
In your eyes
Remains.
When all else dies.
I lost you to the skies
In shades of blue.
My ballerina dances

Missing You
I look out to sea
A yacht dressed in white sail
Glides in poetic motion
Through sun spangled diamante
That we call the ocean.
A silent goodbye
fades in indigo blue
A tear invades the eye
The pain of missing you.
I lay on the shore
As tide does ebb and flow
That releasing, unceasing symphony
Unwritten music we all know.
Then as Morpheus takes my hands.
In flowing white above the sands,
You dance in shimmering rhyme.
And our eyes kiss one last time.
Cruel dawn steals my spectral view

That Day
When we walked on frosted field
Warmed by glowing love revealed
Escorted by the moon
Courted by a tune
That shared our hearts to dwell.
As golden stardust fell
Upon your softest cheek.
Rendered forever weak
By the power
Of a forever kiss
One sweet flower
And our hearts exchanged bliss.
And our bodies just grooved in time
As love's fragrance wooed our souls
That day our very being did rhyme
And was etched
On eternal scrolls.
Our rhythm of love
Lit the stars up above
That day
