Poetry and Other Writings

three times is not a charm

three times is not a charm

 

you choose to be calloused

not even accept a loving soul

use and dump is your desire

tis a cruel and disheartening goal

 

close the door unto a smile

false pleasure is not even thine

can’t even chisel the cement

of what has been deeply hardened

 

what was believed and trusted

became severed by your coldness

a hurt thrice have fallen beyond

the depths of your stinking boldness

 

silence echoes across the miles

the wintery scenery fares better

than the icicles that fall off

an insensitive, shriveled quitter

 

No tear is worth shedded for thee

I’ve given mine love and it’s shunned

A selfish freedom is only temporary

You’ll have less or no more affection

A sonnet for thee

A sonnet for thee

 

mine love for thee has no boundary

tis none measurement confined

to hide it inwardly is par the contrary

no matter what has been defined

waterfalls and cascading ripplets

continue running beneath frozen land

hardened earth; underground inlets

a barricaded love will e’er withstand

beyond the endless galaxy above

throughout thy universe below

a yearning heart is for mine belove

thou shalt know what I truly bestow

mine heartfelt gift from the soul of me

through everlasting love I give to thee

Hold Me To Heart

Hold Me To Heart

by Edward Wolverton@2009

 

Grasping fingers,

hold me to heart

this greatness

that I see

from the visions

of your smiles.

 

Your eyes glitter

in the storm.

They twinkle

in the light of dawn.

They glamor

in the mirror of youth,

where your child eyes

turn to hide.

 

I look into your face,

and meet with you

half way to our

hidden place.

I will meet with you

in the great halls of justice

screaming out your name.

I would grasp at your

shadows,

that dance upon the wall

in the light of a full moon.

 

I would listen well

to what you would

have to say.

To speak to me

in that way,

and whisper

such care to heart

my shadows dance

upon the walls

in great sunlight.

 

I could taste

your sweet kisses

hidden behind

swank cherry wine.

To smell your breath

float freely upon my face,

as you whisper

lemon juice and olive oils,

or a bit of radish bulb

and onion stems,

that creep slowly to faint

upon my nose.

 

Your eyes

hold me to heart,

where dare I move

that I cannot hide,

nor would I ever

want too.

You face shines

my soul,

in touch,

as scent,

or taste of

sweet beloved,

or even such thoughts

of long memories

gathering into my brain,

where I cannot ever

forget about you,

or neglect our smiles

to one another,

or grasp at our selves

and touch each others hand.

 

I wish you

to hold me at heart,

and grasp me

with firm foundation,

that I should never stray,

or convey wishes elsewhere,

or dare look upon another

as I have looked

upon your sweet smile.

Please grasp me

 with your solemn love,

and entice me

with the bosoms

of your blooming flowers,

that I might touch you

gladly,

from the depths of my heart.

 

Hold me to heart,

that this be

my only way to live,

or to die,

as the only way

I would wish it so,

and dance upon the walls

my shadows will,

with the eternal flames

reaching for the heat

of our great love

grasping for our souls

to hold each other

tightly,

as will

my heart would say.

The Voice Of Love

 

 

The Voice Of Love

by Edward Wolverton@2009

  

Summer's fever,

blessed love

thy sickness consumes.

Shall I shout out

what waits my willing eyes,

and sings the truth

to fill my heart's desire,

this deed of love

that ponders grace

to willfully go,

and out my air

when filled of heated love

that kisses my mouth,

and taste these sweet of things

to linger upon my mind,

as a mirror upon your face

my mind consorts with haste.

 

Oh beauty

upon thy breasts

to comfort me,

thou wilt shine

my wild of swords

into the blinds of earth,

and fill me with desires

upon your coming fate,

and take me away

into the clouds of heaven,

pray thee

little need of my eyes to see,

so blind to see your love

right in front of me.

 

Summer's eve

and choice my voice to words,

a poem to complete such verse

to your satisfaction,

and give you rest

within my care to fill your need,

and mount your soul

to feel the seeds of flowers

that sway upon the wind,

and clasp upon your virginity

my name,

my love to lot,

bestowed unto you,

what wills my care

my thoughts

of forever now.

Don't know what to say anymore

Don’t know what to say anymore

 

Shall I become bitter at war’s cost?

Changing thou from within this life

A Warrior once loved, now is lost

From false desire to hang onto strife

 

Sadness has spilled from a core

Caught on spiny burrs along the way

Unanswered questions are a bore

Leaving me in wonderment all day

 

Night is restless like a blowing wind

Twisting and turning gnarly branches

Grassy reeds bent over prairie’s bend

Sighing through brokenhearted wishes

 

Aye me, what somber cry sobs instill

Unto a heart that loved thee fully

Hopes and dreams dismantle fulfill

From thy insensitive soul of a bully

 

Inquietude soul ripples across stone

Like rushing water down a stream

Squeezing through boulders alone

Crying from thou abandoning scheme

My Dear

 

MY DEAR

 

Where in

my thoughts

 could I best

store your grace,

Tis full

enough my

mind with

your sweet face,

And overflowing

with the beauty

of your smile,

Which gains my

attentioon

 for a lingering while.

You also crowd my

heart with loves delight,

For love is what we

share as lovers might.

Yet, in sharing it's

left some places free,

Where my mind and

heart can through

 my blindness see;

To mark where age

 has our youths

 beauty waned,

Though still our love

is in our

hearts retained,

For love is not a

blossom the

seasons fade,

It grows an

evergreen for a

lifetime made,

By time that

 ends our lives when

death is due,

When your sweet

grace will find

a storage new.

Dost thou sayeth

Thy love thou hath?

 

“I bequeath thee, sir

If thou hath love

Define wholly hither”

 

Wilt thou speaketh

Love for naught to

Thy fancy, dear sir?

 

“Such amorous word

Instill upon mine

Soul, beseech I pray!”

 

Dost thou sayeth

‘o sweet, sweet love’

Falsely from thy breath?

Such cutting to mine

Breast thou have bestir!”

Twas a bit of soul

 

Slow movin’ and glidin’

Back ‘n forth on the floor

Woman and man slidin’

In a slow dancin’ rapport

 

Holdin’ her close to him

Swayin’ it side to side

‘darlin’ you got rhythm’

He whispered as they glide

 

From Smokey Robinson

To the Temptations, all

Night long they held on

Arm in arm; love enthrall

 

“Baby Come Close” sung

By he into her ear softly

Slight kisses of she begun

To enlighten his lips quietly

 

Twas a bit of soul playin’

All night in the dim lit room

Two lovers, movin’ and glidin’

Back n’ forth; lovin’ consume

Inconceivable Games of Love

Inconceivable Games of Love

 

You got what you wanted and possibly a bit more

Guess it’s all over now, regrets worn on outerwear

The inner heart deceived and I believed once again

Emotions played havoc on reality of fucking then

Was warned, but twas ignored, trusted words fled

Took thy hand and followed into fake love instead

 

Here I go again, like a merry-go-round, repeatedly

Shaken and dizzy, twisted and turned inside out; me

Such cunning charm thou hast displayed; believable

Games people play and win are quite inconceivable

Forget that I’ve given from my heartfelt generosity

Cause it’s been diminished into a black hole’s sea

Wondering where I fit

Wondering where I fit

 

Broken pieces crumble within

Disillusionment upon my brow

And the purpose thou hast given

Is meaningless to even me now

 

Ignoring a person’s gift of love

Running away of reality’s life

Thou hast cast off the peace dove

And taken in wishy-washy rife

 

How silent you have left me

I do not understand any of it

It’s as if thy wish is a mystery

Keepin’ me wondering where I fit

Eternal Dance

 

Eternal Dance

 

From the time that I met you
to the moment I die
I’ve loved you
do love you
will love you –
I sigh
at the wisp of the breeze
from a butterfly’s wings,
the scent of a rose,
and all gentle things
gives my heart pleasure
because in them is you
with your love keeping time
as my heartbeats renew
the memories of times
that are eternally true.

 

And the strength of an oak tree
that bends in the wind
provides a reminder
of all of the things
that we shared on this earth
and my heart soars and sings
in the knowledge that when
I draw my last breath
there’ll be love,
there’ll be life,
there’ll be no more death
because in your arms
again I will be –
just as right now
you are held gently by me.

is the truth of thee?

is this the truth of thee?

 

you’ve found a way

to silence my calling

an indirect approach

to quiet the yearning

 

insensitivity shrouds

thy person’s love

distancing oneself

thwarts mine giving

 

are thine clues for me?

is this the truth of thee?

 

you’ve tossed aside

any amorous thought

disbanding what is me

to make what’s naught

 

calloused shutting off

to what is pure and true

echoes of loving words

is what thou have threw

~with this love for thee, I've held close to me~

~with this love for thee, I’ve held close to me~

 

I’ve searched through the thick and thin of wonder

looking for the him to give me the love I hunger

 

I’ve called out his name in whispers of the wind

sending messages of mine yearning of thee rescind

 

I’ve listened to the song of the nightingale’s tune

as she sat in the shadowy silhouette of thy moon

 

I’ve sought and wondered if this he will be mine

in gardens of old fashioned fleur as vines intertwine

 

I’ve sat way up high on my mountainous rocky top

speaking of the love I have for thee to never stop

The Sweetness Of Soft Silent Light

 
The Sweetness Of Soft Silent Light
by Edward Wolverton @ 2008
 
 
 
Such prose
the master be,
that I see
forever into your eyes
and read your heart
of poetry,
comes the light of dawn
awakening
into a new soul,
a new
sound of a thought
to kiss
upon my way
as a journey into your heart.
 
The sweetness
of breath upon my face,
living or dying,
I have such faith
to hold you upon my heart
in this true awakening,
a light that shines
forever in your eyes,
that my soul
will forever
live with yours.
 
The poetry
of what dreams
are made of,
and the prose
of sweet softness
of kisses
to fall upon my lips,
and the soft silent light
that shines from within your eyes
to fill my soul with happiness,
to touch upon my face
a warm embrace
as you look into my eyes.
 

His love for Her

His love for Her

 

Hidden

Tokens of love

Mysteriously sent

From treetops above

 

Droplets

Of emerald tears

Mixing with rubies

Fallen cascades appears

 

Warrior

Sounding of song

Through wooden flute

For his maiden all along

 

Echoes

Plinking in tune

Resounding of heart

From the stars and moon

 

Secluded

Letters of love

Outpouring of soul

From fond memory thereof

Shall I truly Believe?

 

Shall I truly believe?

 

Watching from a distance

Beyond rose colored lenses

It is I that wonders of you

Of truth and of anamneses

 

Once upon a short time ago

Fond memories held closer

Thanking for your presence

In not baffling like a poser

 

I’ve held you on a pedestal

And kept it free of tarnish

Always wanting to treasure

What was held; a dear wish

 

Now, we’ve become nearer

Accepting what had passed

Holding onto the moment

May what we’ve got to last

IN ITS PATH NOTHING STAYS THE SAME

IN ITS PATH NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
 
The wind cannot be seen
Only its affect on the objects around it.
It lets its mark as it flows across the earth
In its path nothing stays the same
 
The trees on its course cannot stop it
It will just go around it
Taking pieces of everything it touches
In its path nothing stays the same
 
The tallest mountains cannot withstand its power
They are slowly changed with each passing breeze
Leaves and earth picked up and redeposited
In its path nothing stays the same
 
The mighty ocean is tossed to and fro
Constantly eating away at the earth
Powered by a force we cannot see
In its path nothing stays the same
 
Sometimes it becomes destructive and forceful
The damage it causes cannot be fixed
It changes lives and breaks spirits
In its path nothing stays the same
 
Love is like the wind, it cannot be seen
Its affect on the one it is given to is evident
It lets footprints on a heart that cannot be erased
In its path nothing stays the same
 
Love can overcome the obstacles it encounters
Even when the mind says no the heart takes over
Tiny pieces of a heart claimed until it is consumed
In its path nothing stays the same
 
The trials of life can toss it to and fro
Trying to eat away at it and destroy it
But two souls truly joined in love can persevere
In its path nothing stays the same
 
Two souls become one dwelling in two bodies
Living separately yet always united
Overpowering and always growing
In its path nothing stays the same
 
Sometimes it becomes hurtful and deceptive
The damage it causes cannot be fixed
Broken hearts sometimes cannot go on
In its path nothing stays the same

As One

 
 
As One
 
 
It was foretold ages of yesterday past,
that you are my one and only true.
So why do I find it so very hard
letting you know that it is you?
 
 
Could I give you my heart my love
and in doing so, we could fly together?
Or must I just stand and watch from below
always longing for you forever and ever?
 
 
Could I take you for my very own
and have all but that of your wings?
Could we fly where night begins
and frozen sunlight dances and sings?
 
 
Or will we ever soar as one
flying through our lives together?
Or will we just fly alone
never knowing what is forever and ever?

He won't try again anymore

 

He won’t try again anymore

 

He can’t go there anymore

What’s been abandoned is gone

His decision to stay in silence

Is worn loudly on his shore

 

He won’t try again anymore

What’s been tried has died

His desire has left for no one

Just an emptiness on his door

 

He hasn’t a clue anymore

Of the love that was given

Many times in front of him

It’s obvious he cares no more

 

He doesn’t want to anymore

To accept her loving caresses

Fear becomes his grand ruler

And seeks to hide from amour

If He Had Looked

If He Had Looked




Her brown eyes glitter in the candle light.


Her brown eyes twinkle when she laughs.


Her brown eyes darken when she is upset.


Her brown eyes fill with tears when she is disappointed.


Her brown eyes fill with love.


He would know this if only he had taken the time to look.

Dance of Unspoken Desire

Dance of Unspoken Desire

 

Slow movements to the beat

Casting long, sensual stares

Snapping fingers, raised arms

Seducing is what she dares

 

Head slowly swaying with it

Intertwined with its melody

Absorbing the mysterious tune

Turning in rhythmic fluidity

 

Passionately gazing into him

During this interlude of song

Not missing a beat it displays

Making him desiring all along

 

Gyrating about the dance floor

Alluding to a forthcoming want

Rapturous lips slightly open

Tantalizing with alluring taunt

Slow dancing in your arms

I’d want to get next to you

And be embraced tightly as

The melody speaks through

Words playing on the player

 

Lento movements barely go

Hungering for your touch too

From Unchained Melodies

Listening to his word through

Loving her with great passion

 

Dreamily gazes into his eyes

She moves her cheek into his

Heartbeats rhythmically junto

Pressed into tighter embraces

Dances past the midnight hour

Let There Be You

Let There Be You
Coming through the Mist
Touching my Heart
Giving me a Kiss
~
Let There Be You
When scared of the dark
Feeling so alone
Praying to be in your arms
~
Let There Be You
Each Night and Day
Close by my side easing my pain
~
Let There Be You
Banishing all my fears
Kissing and drying all my Tears
~
Let There Be You
To give me strength
When things go wrong
And my Heart aches
~
Let There Be you
At the end of my day
To Kiss me Goodnight
And be here when I wake

I return to alone again

I return to alone again

 

I walk away with my head up

You won’t see my tears fall

 

I walk away with my pride

You won’t see my pain inside

 

I walk away with my dignity

You won’t see my cry, never

 

I leave what was thought of you

You won’t see my love I had

 

I leave what was cared for you

You won’t see my heart anymore

 

I leave what was wishfullness

You won’t see my dreams of you

 

Such a waste of time have gone

Hoping and hoping of something

 

I bid it all adieu, and be gone

In seclusion I return to alone again

"Von" by Sigur Ros

What is it...?

 

What is it…?

 

It’s a love that won’t bury itself

Somehow it keeps coming out

What is it that I must find in it?

 

Your face in my memory stays

Can’t discard what I feel for you

What is it that won’t leave me?

 

It’s something that settled deeply

Into the crevices of my inward me

What is it that keeps calling out?

 

You, whisper through prairie wind

My name, is being soothingly said

What is it that wants me to answer?

 

It’s a heartfelt, endearing gesture

From you to me, embracing tightly

What is it that I must keep forever?

If only love would be like this...

if only love would be like this

 

if only love would be like this

and romance lasted forever

squabbles and disagreements

were moments of nothing much

 

if only love would be like this

and dreams of united bonding

embracements, cuddling, holding

cherishing two souls, two loves

 

if only love would be like this

man and woman, side by side

loyal to their relationship only

such wishes of this is what I wish

 

if only love would be like this

looking to each other as heroes

protecting and holding always

appreciating both loves forever

The Gift

The Gift
I bought a pound of love
At the outdoor market today
I thank the heavens above
I found it on display
 
It was packaged in a paper bag
And tied with cotton string
It had a colored price tag
With the amount it should bring
 
The price was a bargain
The sale was two for one
So I bought a pound again
And had three before I was done
 
I’ll use a single pound today
And save the rest for spare
Today’s love I’ll give away
A pound is enough to share

Blue moon smile upon my heart

Set me free along the shoreline

Wading in and out of soft waves

Taking what are yours and mine

 

Hand held in hand, genteel man

Caresses of thy heart within me

Soft breezes singing love’s song

Into the moonlit night air’s sea

 

Twinkling stars dancing around

Into the vast dark heavens above

Shadows rippling across the water

Of two immersed souls in love

'R'

 

25 August 07

 

 

‘R’

 

Though she who in your eye was better made,

Who led you through sweet sunlight into shade,

Destroying love; betraying all your trust,

That everything superb has turned to dust.

You will beyond the blackness of the night,

Find even in such darkness shines a light,

That grows and grows as time passes by,

To eventually wipe the clouds from your sky.

Despair and anguish torments you yet my friend,

But you will emerge the better in the end,

For the power of love though diminished by deceit,

Is vanquished not and quickly seeks repeat.

For we who trust must know we risk much pain,

But the love we gather from it we retain.

This Selfsame Man

 

This Selfsame Man
By Rich Reith

This selfsame man,
who is flawed
as all men are,
was never flawed in his love for you.

The selfsame man,
who lived in another world,
another reality,
willingly tied his soul to yours.

This selfsame man,
who tenderly touched your soft skin,
was the one whose fire of passion
needed to consume you.

This selfsame man,
Who spread his dreams under your feet,
Trusted you to tread gently.

This selfsame man,
Long after sorrow has consumed him,
Long after love has died,
Long after hope has ended,

  Rebuilds his dreams.

Love's Interluds of Eros

Love's Interludes of Eros

 

I've dreamt of lover's passion

Kisses of sensuality and lust

Driven a soul to hunger within

Desiring mine heart's a must

***

I've tasted of lover's persuasion

Tantalizing touches of fingertips

Arousals of inwardly sensation

'N from osculating succulent lips

***

I've fulfilled of lover's fantasy

Hypnotizing the wanton essence

Luring one away from reality

By wakening voluptious senses

This Love

This Love

 

 

This love flows into the mysterious watery deep

 

Sending turbulent waves to and fro across the sea

 

Like two lovers intertwining in a rapturous ardor

 

Massaging and tantalizing tiny erogenous zones

 

Caught in an endless desirous whirlpool of pash

 

Twisting and twirling over and under amorously

 

Until the tides calm and gently caresses again…

wishes for my love

wishes for my love

 

hold onto my love in crystalline vessels

protecting it with the bonds of fortitude

never allow insecurities to seep through

nor let jealousies bubble forth to mar

keep my love polished and free from cruelties

allow room for growth in wisdom and maturity

do not worship me as if I am a goddess

but do cherish and treasure of who I am

be gracious with loving-kindness and empathy

guard my love from antipathy 'n loathing distaste

please be patient, respectful, and non-entrapping

provide comfort, guidance, and endearment

charm me with natural silliness and fun

always regard my love with truth and honesty

The Kiss

The Kiss

desirous lips

slightly parted

nectarious wetness

planted upon

wanton mouth

reverbating sensations

riveting sensuously

entering tounge

tasting inside

lento movements

encircling lips

from craving

ravenous tongue

light suckling

of quivering lips

The Night Shift

The Night Shift

Walking up and down lit up streets

People residing in and out of places

Music interludes of various forms

Lingering in the steamy night air

Spoken and unspoken words emanating freely

Lustful desires flowing through the night shift

Couples in darkened doorways embracing

French kissers rule with sensuous movements

Rhythmic bodies making love in heated atmospheres

Moments of orgasmic grandeur fulfilled

Explosive climaxes; screams of delight

Water beaded bodies dripping

Flashing lights; flickering lights,

Shadows of lovers in dimlit rooms

Devouring love or lust between two

Absorbing sounds, smells, tastes, 'n touches

Pausing briefly, some lulled into slumber

Others regain surging energy for more

All in the night shift of the day...

Through.....

Through….

 

Through the sands of time

When all is calm and free

There stands a love waiting

For people like you and me

 

Through vast oceans deep

When waves always flow

There will be a pure soul

Never to let a love plateau

 

Through colorful rainbows

When the solar lights flare

There exists a love shining

Brightly for the we to share

Romantic Thoughts

Romantic Thoughts

 

 

A gentle kiss

Planted on lips

How sweet is

Its nectar taste

 

A light caress

Across cheeks

How delicate is

The finger tip

 

A touching of

Tresses of hair

How gentle is

The embracing

 

A glowing heart

Growing warmth

How tender is

Its moving beat

A Love Story of Sorts

A Love Story of Sorts

 

 

He said he’s not the one

She said, ‘ baby, I wasn’t born free, yesterday,

I was born to be wild! I already got you babe!’

‘N every morning and every night she sang

‘Sugar, sugar, you can’t buy me love,

Cause you were born free Mr. Tambourine Man

so put you’re hair down and come

Ride with me on that fantastic voyage

Down on that lonesome moon river

We’ll sail away somewhere over the rainbow’

After a moment’s time in a bottle, all he

Could say was big girls don’t cry, no more 96 tears,

He said he would cherish her till the end of time

And gave her trinkets of crimson and clover

She said, ‘baby, don’t hurt me, and you won’t

See me cry! Cause I got a hold on you!’

And then with much respect she exclaimed

‘I’m a wild thing, and if you can’t handle it, then

Hit the road jack, and don’t come back no more!'

Lost Love

 

 

 

My Lost Love
 
 
Off misty borders
I see him in my mind;
He's always there, reminding me
of what got left behind.
In our haste to find what lay ahead,
we lost or forgot,
where our hearts once lead.
 
 
I wonder if Fate ever casts a sideways glance,
& is willing to give two young fools, another chance?
After so many years apart,
to see if the same song plays in our hearts.
 
 
To look again into his eyes, a miracle t'would be,
and to find them, just looking back at me.
A fantasy so real, so sublime, and
to feel his body next to mine.
 
 
If Fate would yet grant us the time to see,
just what good might come to be,
With the years left to us,
before the story is over
& we turn to dust.

Empty

Empty

 

Hollowed out heart

No more care to feel

Anything kind or good

Erase memories of thee

 

You have carved away

Any trace of kindness

And allowed the wind

To dissipate it into nothing

 

Abandoned loving soul

Death ruled out its life

Hopelessness rules

Avoid all positive light

 

You try to erase all

Possible love and light

So as to not notice

Different loving things

 

Unburdened and free

From my love for thee

You’ve taken away all

And left this empty in me

Foolishness

Foolishness

 

 

Foolish hearts

 

Beating on a whim

 

Embarrassment rules

 

High and mighty

 

Body and soul

 

Dreams for naught

 

Destroy them all

 

Don’t let it exist

 

In my inane brain

 

Wanting to love

 

Thrown about

 

In the tumultuous tide

 

Sinking thru the mire

 

Tangled and caught

 

In a foolish heart

Twitterpatedness

“Twitterpatedness”

 

Captivating glances

Passions stirring

Awakening desires

Sensations tantalized

Seductiveness of two

 

Voluptuous lips

Slight of tongue

Arousing souls

Locked together

Pulsating of two

 

Sensuous embracement

Gentle caresses

Encircling arms

Slight rhythmical

Movements of two

 

Ecstatic bodies

Enraptured between

Hearts all-a-quiver

Climatic responses

Satisfaction of two

The Meeting of Two

The Meeting of Two

 

Two lips

Pressed upon each other

Sensuously devouring

Slightly quivering underneath

 

Two souls

Embraced within

Passionately inflaming

Rhythmical hearts dancing

 

Two bodies

Intertwining together

Desirously yearning

Arousing vibrations within

Life's Ticking Clock

 

LIFE'S TICKING CLOCK

 

Years pass by and I remain
In a darkened black abyss
A prison that envelopes me
While others live in bliss

 

I claw the sides of the pit
That holds my soul so deep
I cannot see the light to guide
Me from this hell that keeps

 

My soul imprisoned from all joy
My heart so filled with grief
The hurt so deep within my soul
The darkness is a thief

 

The light appears from afar
The darkness between it lays
I do not have the strength to walk
Towards the light of day

 

Within this darkness are the dreams
That will not set me free
To live to laugh to love again
It is my only plea

 

A bridge of love and friendship
Would make my journey brief
If you could help me build one
Then I can escape my grief

 

To wrap myself so safely
Within your warm embrace
And build our life in sunshine
The demons we would chase

 

Back to the pit of darkness
Where they can never pull me down
To face the hellish nightmares
Or cause my soul to frown

 

Each morning with the sunshine
We would rise to face the day
If bad memories tried to surface
Our love would keep them away

 

I'm not strong enough to get better
Without you next to me
I want to come to you right now
Your love will set me free

 

We'll kiss away the teardrops
We will love away the fear
We will live our life in happiness
The darkness will never appear

 

Today is when I need you
Tomorrow may be too late
Each day passes swiftly by
while the demons choose my fate

 

Your lips so tender on my face
Your hands carressing me
It is those special times we have
That I am finally free

 

The clock of life can't be rewound
The days behind are lost
Today is the day to love and live
No matter what the cost

 

We are soul mates, you and I
and forever we shall be
One soul sharing two bodies
You live inside of me

 

I give you my love forever
My heart belongs to you
Hold it ever so gently
Just as I will hold yours too

 

We will one day be together
Never to walk away
The goodbyes will be behind us
And together we will stay

 

Hold tight to all our memories
They are our strength for today
Soon we will be together
Not for a day but forever and always

I LOVE YOU

 

Mary
