The Flower

I saw a flower just the other day A greeting from above in nature’s gentle way Sharing all its beauty with the world around Knowing not a thing Making not a sound I stopped to say hello, if only for awhile A moment of my time for solace and a smile It nodded softly back,…

Rivers Of Bold

If levees of fear so strong Hold back the rivers of bold May sadness be your song And sweetness what you sold For past the walls of pain You’ll hear a peaceful sound In the waters of your gain Serenity is found

Forsaken

Close your eyes and let me share with you The hurt and pain your words have put me through Like ships upon the shore I wanted so much more But shatter dreams is all that you could do I clung to every baiting lie you told And spent my heart on fables that you sold…

Revisited

Looking back upon that night I gently reminisce Lost again in sweet delight And falling deep in Love’s abyss Reliving secret memories Protected by the night Fooled again by guarantees In dream we reunite And back on that romantic cloud The two of us will be As whispers from the past so loud Come calling…

One Request

I wonder why I let you go To take the other road My heart was young so long ago A wild horse I rode And many other girls I know True Love I have possessed But I compared them all to you And none have passed the test Yet now you’re back in sight and…

Latent Love

With broken chisels in your hand You stare at choices etched in stone And now my words you understand Your graveyard of regret has grown And just as I had promised so You’re left with all you lack Too late to let your feelings show You’re longing to go back But I have since forgotten…
