The Chance

The date was like a dream 

Her eyes were so serene 

In the end the point was missed 

What she wanted was a kiss

He thought he'd make it up

If he had a brand new truck

By then the chance was missed

What she wanted was a kiss 

Life swept them both away

They both had rolls to play

At fate he shook his fist

What she wanted was a kiss 

Through time and turbulence 

They didn't get a chance

But its on his bucket list 

What she wanted was a kiss

I'm Here

I still cry

I know you care about it

And I grieve

If I let my mind go

It still hurts

And I sure miss your smile

If life ever lets you down

I'm here...

Still the same

My feelings won't change

Never fades

As sure as stars shine

We are joined

In too many ways

If you feel lost on the way 

Find me...

Never far

We're close in our hearts

It's been hard

Doing what is right

I am glad

To know how you feel. 

If life ever lets you down

If your soul is overwhelmed 

Your heart will know what to do

Find me

 

  

Out of the Blue

It was out of the blue

           A hit from the start

Fell from the sky 

           And captured my heart

One out of two

             Who would have thought

Don't ask me why

              It couldn't be taught

No reason at all

              Could it be true? 

All of my life

                I've been waiting for you. 

              

The Song

She loves hard, he loves long

In harmony, a lovely song

Through centuries it resonates

Changing lives and tempting fate

She gives love intensity

His strength brings longevity 

He carries her when she tires

She makes sure to keep the fire

Apart the notes are only noise
Together when they give it voice
All creation stops to hear
Those who listen shed a tear





  

Making Sense

It couldn't be love 

So why is my heart racing?

It's true that you look good

But that's infatuation

My heart is always in suspense 

Will it ever make sense?

I always think of you

Call it live imagination 

Time should make it fade 

But it's here for the duration

It is enough to make my head explode

My mind has gone rogue. 

 

More than Show

True love is a wild beast

Mere mortals try to tame

Those who try to cage it

Are only playing games

It seems a contradiction

But love is more than show

Before it causes hurt 

True lovers let it go

A heart may break in pieces

With longings unfulfilled

But happy smiling faces

Beat any banal thrill

Its essence never leaves 

Hope is always there

True love never wanes

For those who really care 

It cannot be explained 

And will never be alone

Wild love once discovered 

Makes adventures of its own.  

Words

The voice inside of us

Has so much to say

But it has to be filtered

So it doesn't offend 

Go ahead and be honest

be rash and blurt it out

You will find it doesn't work 

Despite what they champion

Tactfully, using grace

We must filter our thoughts 

Nothing unusual about it

It's An acquired skill

There is that rare person

Who takes no offense

To anything said

But savors it all

Each word as a precious jewel

Every thought as a diamond  

Words, though hard and sharp

Are beautiful to examine
