Never Forget Me

Hello today but goodbye tomorrow,
Never forget me and my heart you can borrow.
We gave it a go, but there was no way to know,
Our friendship would blossom and continue to grow.
Every last second I will forever cherish,
Please don't cry we'll meet again before we parish.
Blessed with youth, time we can spare,
But still, leaving you just isn't fair.
We'll keep in touch from day to day,
But eventually we will begin to drift away.
You'll find another to find warmth in the night,
While I wake alone to the mornings light.
Our bond will be tested at the core,
A man who has gone can you still adore?
Close the door, watch as I'm forced to leave you behind,
If you believe, again my heart you will find.
So a promise you must make,
Before this chance I will take.
Hello today goodbye tomorrow,
Never forget me and my heart you can borrow.

sleep

whether by choice

or no fault of our own

sooner or later

we all sleep alone



surrounded by darkness

and fed by the gloom

we all wake up early

alone in our room



the thing that we reach for

is so far away

just close your eyes softly

and pray for the day



mutter your prayers

to whomever you choose

but despite your best efforts

sometimes you lose ...



because whether by choice

or no fault of our own

sooner or later

we all sleep alone ...

Distant Dreams

-Having never felt your kiss,
I dream of our lips meeting in perfect bliss.-

-Taking you in my arms so tight,
holding you as you sleep in harmony through the night.-

-Two souls under one moon,
both wishing to be together soon.-

-Often wondering if perfection is real,
searching for an explanation on how you make me feel.-

-Long days I long for your touch,
nights craving to kiss you all to much-

-I have searched for so long before,
yet known such as you do I adore.-

-Restless nights as you fill my dreams,
my fantasies bursting at the seams.-

-Looking to the stars wondering where you are,
knowing love is off somewhere far.-

-Will I ever be able to call you mine,
or will you just be in my dreams until the end of time?-

-I sit in darkness yet I still see your face,
lighting my minds eye with beauty and grace.-

-For now you remain a distant pleasure,
until we meet my feelings shall grow beyond measure.-

The Wife

Although I lay here on your shoulder
With a smile upon my face
I feel as cold as ice
Within your warm embrace

The life that I've been living
The person I've become
Is a person that's been moulded
Just another 'One'

A cookie cutter imprint
The classic 'stepford' wife
Your typical TV sitcom
Has now become my life

And now I miss the person
The person that I was
When I was just a carefree girl
And I was not your wife

Memory Lane

I don't wanna take a trip down memory lane.

I don't think I can deal with that pain.

There's nothin I can do, nothin I can say

to bring you home to me again.



So this is what I say...

Let the future take it's course,

and maybe again someday

in time I'll be yours.



I hate knowing that I can't be with you,

but as long as you're happy then Im happy too.

We both know that I hate to lose.

I wanted to hate you, but I can't bring myself to.



So this is what I say...

Let the future take it's course,

and maybe again someday

in time I'll be yours.

If it's what God wants

I have faith we'll find the love we knew once.



But for now it's not to be...

for there's another man there now...not me.

All I rely on now is God's power.

I'll make sure to be there in His hour.

These demons Im battling won't give up,

so I'll keep fighting them even if people think Im nuts...



So this is what I say...

Let the future take it's course,

and maybe again someday

in time I'll be yours.

alone



the darkness seems to hide your face



and though i look for you



i seem alone



i stand in the shadows left



from memories of days gone by



and distant dreams that haunt



the corners of my mind ~





my soul cries out so desperately ...



~ i stand alone

and wait for you ~

~You Know~







Being happy all the time, its inhumanly impossible to be,as so well you know

Happiness is so fleeting,it just comes and then it goes,so when you have it,let it glow

Because as you experience it in time,it just doesn't remain with you and me for long

Our own humanity won't allow it that,so today try to be contented and just stay strong.



We are always chasing after so much, of what we maight be getting for

We're always searching for that brighter star we see up in the sky from where we are

Happiness some times slips us all by and then tears from our heart will pour

And so we smile behind this mask to hide our pain and woes,as if so happy we were.



There's a big difference between happiness and contentment as you can check and see

Contentment last long if you choose to do so,but happiness just cannot,no matter what you do.

Look around you,and be happy with what you have,search inside your heart and then you'll see

That you can catch all the rainbows and stars you want,and make all your dreams come true.

final call

who's left standing

when love goes south

and you're far north

with no way out



when it's gone

and disappeared

while on your face

are bitter tears ...



who's left standing?



the artful game

of cat and mouse

is over now

without a doubt



the easy lies

with cleverness said

turn to a cold pillow

and an empty bed ...



who's left standing?



the final curtain

on the empty stage

will go down on

the love we made



i won't sit down

or quietly leave

and though it was only

make-believe ...



i'm still here ... standing.

Of Magma Rising

The old cat suns himself

Stalking the wide dreamscapes

Of easy mice and roly dams

Stretched on a warm window-ledge

Of rough sawn ashlar tuff

Troubled only by the occasional rattling of the window panes

A slamming door, a passing car,

Or magma rising?



The farmer frowns on the terraces

Where only vines live now, (and how?)

His father grew almonds here, bergamots and lemons,

Before the wells ran dry.

The city, industrial neighbours, over extraction,

Or magma rising?



Gino guns the Alpha, chopped and dropped

He’s all in tune with his over-tuned joy.

He collects Isabella from the bank on the corner

And speeds down narrow streets,

Paved purple with cracked porphyry.

Home, the garage door jams once more,

Should he curse the builder and poor materials,

Or magma rising?



Isa, resigned, sighing,

He’s not the man for her,

She knew that in the first kiss,

But she thought “he’ll do for now”,

The jealous glances of other girls,

Are all she’s going to miss.

His true love is his car,

And she could never settle here,

So she took the job in Rome,

She’ll have to find courage,

And tell him soon.

Career move, fresh start, or intuition,

Of magma rising?
