A POEM FOR MY LADY

I WRITE ONE EVERY DAY
SHE’S SO MUCH FUN TO THINK ABOUT
AND SHE LOVES THE THINGS I SAY
I TELL HER SHE IS PRETTY
AND A LOVELY SIGHT TO SEE
I COULD NEVER FIND ANOTHER
WHO COULD MEAN AS MUCH TO ME

SHE HAS CLASS, A DASH OF STYLE
AND AN OVERDOSE OF CHARMS
OH THE WAY SHE MAKES ME FEEL
WHEN SHE IS IN MY ARMS

SHE HAS BOTH WIT AND HUMOR,
AND A HEART THAT’S OPEN WIDE
SHE’S A LADY OF GOOD CHARACTER
WHO’LL WALK BESIDE YOU, STRIDE FOR STRIDE

EVERY NIGHT ANOTHER POEM
IF NOT, THEN EVERY DAY
I COULD WRITE UNTIL FOREVER
AND STILL HAVE MUCH TO SAY

Foever Gone

rising as the somke
off my cigarette
comming up from the depths
of the coldest heart
lost in the wind that sweeps us away
my soul vanishes
into thin air
love gone
life belittled
gone forever never
form you again
to the end i’m gone
forever never again

Found a reason

“I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you”

Direction

I used to feel fine
you were to be mine
I need direction
to take me to you

A Book of Memories

Hidden in the attic,
all the way upstairs,
is something very special,
that I would like to share.
My hopes,
my dreams,
old photographs,
of good times and bad times that make me laugh.
The joy of a hug,
the thrill of a kiss,
leaves me to remember the pure, simple bliss.
I cry for the fun,
and giggle for the pain,
I enjoyed the good life I was able to maintain.
The thoughts and wishes,
they all stay with me,
all of these contained in my book of memories.

The Upset

There seems to be an issue
Left unchecked and yet denied
A promise made without much thought
Now chained we must abide

Still you refuse to realize
The desperateness within my eyes
I wish a way, I wish to find
A safe way to leave you behind

My life would then be empty
For you complete what I am
But your life remains unfinished
While I keep you from His hand

You truely claim that you cannot
Remain to be happy, while I am not
Yet that’s the way that it must be
Since this won’t last because of me

Empty Fire

Tonight’s a burning loneliness
Bleak and empty, cloudless above
The absence of the moon speaks
Of the absence of our love

The coldest of wind in the air
The darkest of black in the sky
Frigid and opaque, the adjectives
That aptly describe you and I

Queries

How many times
Has it been
That you have given up
Everything

The love that you gained
Was it worth all the pain
Of letting go?

I’d like to feel
That what we have is real
Enough for me to do the same.

Don’t leave me lying here
Bedded in poisonous fear
That it’s not what we thought

Love can be misapprehension
So is it worth all this tension
For those moments of bliss?

I ask you these queries
In aim to calm my worries
That this is really love

How I’m Feeling

We were close friends, also lovers
did everything for one another
Now youre gone and Im lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live and make it somehow

Come back to me
Can you feel me
Hear me callin for you Cause its

Its been too long and Im lost without you
So what am I gonna do, said Ive been needinyou,
wantin you
Wonderin if youre the same and whos been with you
Is your heart still mine, I wanna cry sometimes

Now Im sittin here thinkin âbout you
And the days we used to share
Its drivin me crazy, I dont know what to do
Im just wonderin if you still care
And I wanna let you know that its killin me
I know you got another life, you gotta concentrate,
baby

Thank you

I thank you for being with me.

I thank you for being who you are,
for what you had done for me.

I thank you for being you.

I have many more things to say to you,
but I wish to say it face to face with you.

You are perfect

I’ll never need any change in you as You’re so perfect
and the precious bond that we share is sooo perfect
though we are seperated by so many miles
though we know we may never meet
No one else in the world can even compare this Love
I can’t turn back time But With you I see present and future
as We are always togethor forever
You’ll know How perfect you are when seen through my eyes
I can wait for the fate to show you How lovely you are
You are that someone special & a true miracle to me
Across the oceans, mountain peaks, time and space
You kept my heart alive & love survive

Because of you

Because of you
my world is now whole

Because of you
love lives in my soul

Because of you
I have laughter in my eyes

Because of you
I am no longer afraid of good-byes

You are my pillar
my stone of strength,
With me through all seasons
and great times of length.

My love for you is pure
boundless through space and time,
it grows stronger everyday
with the knowledge that you’ll always be mine.

At the altar
I will joyously say ‘I do’,
for I have it all now
and it’s all because of you.
