Scrapbook

I found your scrapbook yesterday
it was by happenstance...
Pictures from another time
a budding new romance...

A door swung open to the past 

and rain began to fall…

Lightning struck my heart again

your voice began to call...

I searched each image till at last
there were no more to view...
My heart began to break again
I'm still in love with you...

Friends and Brothers

Walking near their resting place

a garden filed with tears…

They've been asleep so very long

and some for many years…

Friends and brothers all around

with tributes to their name…

Guests of honor everyone

their markers all the same…

A precious gift they gave to us

we never can repay…

They sacrificed their lives for all

one lonely fateful day…

Wind Chimes

A gentle breeze caresses me

the wind chimes gently play...

A soothing little melody

that takes me far away...

Hypnotic sounds that captivate 

and lead me down a path...

To memories from another time

a mental photograph...

For just a moment time stood still

the curtains drew apart...

You walked out from the other side

and touched my lonely heart...

Standing At The Fork

I'm standing at the fork again

another choice to make...

So much is in the balance now

not sure which path to take...

A part of me says turn around

go back to where you were...

Forget about what might have been

don't let these passions stir...

But yet I hear another voice

that cries within my soul...

You'll never know unless you try

regret....a heavy toll...

Fantasy

Living in a fantasy

that's scripted in my mind...

A never ending search for you

afraid I'm far behind...  

I'm always looking for a door

a path, that leads to you...

A fluctuating paradigm

for me to travel through...

Sometimes you're dancing my dreams

your sweet and lovely face...

I run to you with outstretched arms 

and fall in your embrace...

Sometimes

Sometimes you have to walk away

and leave your heart behind...

To close the door and not look back

and still the troubled mind...

Sometimes the window closes fast

the timing's just not right...

Perhaps another path you'll take

will make your burden light...

Sometimes there is no right or wrong

you do what must be done...

You close the chapter in the book

and start another one...
