To You My Love

A day in quiet retrospect

the old year slips away...

I couldn't help but think of you

and where you are today...

I hope the new year smiles on you

that all your dreams come true...

Though many days have come and gone

I'm still in love with you...

Tonight I'll toast to you my Love

to riches, health, and fame...

I'll drink alone the bittersweet

and whisper out your name...

Sadness and the Cost

Another night we sleep apart

an aching in my soul...

We can't keep living life like this

It's all out of control...

We stumble over yesterdays

unable to move on...

Keep fading in and out of love

afraid you'll soon be gone...

I'm terrified of losing you

How do we make this work?...

We always seem to circle round

the place where demons lurk...

For now we cling to threads of hope

each day I feel the loss...

I can't keep dealing with it all

the sadness and the cost...

It's You and me Forever

We're sailing on a moonlit night

upon a sea of glass...

A gentle breeze caressing us

we're all alone at last...

The stars have all come out to see

what love is all about...

A hundred thousand points of light

approve without a doubt...

We'll sail to shores we've never seen

the compass in our heart...

It's you and me forever Babe

tonight is when we start...

Winter Storm

At last a chance to settle down

it's been a real long day...

A cup of coffee by the fire

we're in the house to stay...

A cold north wind is blowing strong

it's nice and warm inside...

They say the snow will fall for days

we'll take it all in stride...

I've gathered all the wood we'll need

to keep us nice and warm...

We'll cuddle by the fireplace

enjoy the winter storm...

I'm Ready

I woke up with you on my mind

and laid there for a while...

Reflecting on the things you said

I couldn't help but smile...

We spoke for hours on the phone

and laughed the night away...

Exchanging stories of our lives

not much we didn't say...

I know where this is going to

just hope these feelings last...

I m ready now to love again

and move on from the past...

Princess

Princess, mommies mad at you

you chewed her favorite shoe...

I heard her say some real bad words

she tried to find you to...

I think you better hide somewhere

she says that you've been bad...

The other day you hid her socks

that made her really mad...

She says that you've been digging holes

when you go out to play...

She tripped and fell because of you

and that your gonna pay...

I know your not a real bad dog

some things you just can't touch...

Mommy wont be mad for long

we love you very much...

Lingering

I lingered near the edge too long

just couldn't let you go...

I waited till there was no hope

the painful process slow...

Letting go of hopes and dreams

a dagger in my soul...

A gaping wound beyond repair

the blow, a tragic toll...

The emptiness within my heart

a void too deep to fill...

There's nothing left to hold on to

my spirit, cold and still...

The darkness overshadows me

and light now slips away...

The angels weep beside my bed

they'll carry me today...

My Place In Life

I couldn't see the road ahead

or how it'd all work out...

In time I had to make a choice

though filled with fears and doubt...

The early years were filled with dreams

the stars were mine to grasp...

As time wore on and seasons changed

they disappeared so fast...

I wandered in and out of love

adrift out on the seas...

The disappointments wore me down

and drove me to my knees...

In time I found my place in life

someone who touched my heart...

The moment you declared your love

I felt the pain depart...

Fixing Me

The time away has cleared my mind

I now can move ahead...

For months so much uncertainty

with phantoms in my head...

The issues are now clear to me

I wandered from my course...

I tried to fill an emptiness

and now so much remorse...

I have to learn to look within

to work on fixing me...

To purge away the ugly things

so I can then be free...

My Queen

Eyes that shine of crystal blue

her skin is soft and fair

Lips that speak without a sound

a crown of golden hair

Flowers dipped in colored hues

a scepter in her hand

Drawing ever close to me

I'm here at your command

The Edge

I'm walking all around the edge

my heart is saying go...

But every time I take a step

my mind starts screaming no...

I've fallen so in love with you

you're all that's on my mind...

Each night I race into your arms

our bodies intertwined...

It's more than I can handle now

not sure of what to do...

Regrets hurt more than sad goodbyes

I've got to see this through...

Flair

You have a flair that captivates

the mystery that is you...

Astonishingly beautiful

I love all that you do...

Throughout the day I contemplate

and try to strategize...

At night I dream of holding you

and looking in your eyes...

The Brook

Deep within the countryside

a clear and winding brook…

Covered by a canopy

of trees that nature hooked...

Sounds of water trickling down

this path forged long ago…

Whitecaps form around the stones

that try to block its flow...

Crossing to the other side

a game I often play...

Slippery stones my little path

sometimes I wished I'd stayed...

Every now and then I see

a deer with little ones...

Staring till the fear is gone

they drink and then they run...

So Long

The walk along the beach tonight

a chance to clear my head...

I wish that you were here with me

I'm all alone instead...

I tried my best to reach for you

had hoped for so much more...

I would have made you happy Love

instead you closed the door...

I know there was a moment there

I felt it in my soul...

Your heart was running fast to me

Your mind then took control...

So long my Dear, I wish you well

I hope your dreams come true...

I would have given anything

to share my my life with you...

The Rain

The rain is gently falling now

it’s been a real long day…

I didn't get a whole lot done

sometimes it’s just that way…

The hours pass into the night

and thunder starts to roar...

The lightening paints the sky above

and rain begins to pour...

I think I’ll read a book tonight

sit near the fireplace…

I'll pull the quilt up over me

a pillow Just in case…
