"If you could have one thing, what would it be?" "Hmm?" he asked. "If I could have one thing? Well, that's an easy one. But before I tell you, what about you? What would you want?" "What!?" his partner gasped. "No, no, no, no, no, no. I asked you first. You tell me and then I'll tell you." "I can't, otherwise you might be swayed by my answer," he laughed. "No I wouldn't," his partner proudly spoke. "For nothing can change...

Peace shattered in an instant. Nothing left for us here. The world had gone from splendor to dust. What little hope remained faded the moment we looked out to our little scarred planet. But even in the new darkness enshrouding us could not take away our determination to live. Hope did not fill us that day. It would not for many years to come. No, determination filled us and gave us a reason to live.And in that bleakness t...

I don't know what it is that sets you apart; I knew you were special right from the start; You touched a place within my heart; That had been sleeping for many a year; We always share what's on our mind; The exact same thing, at the same time;Our hearts seem to beat to the same rhyme;Which brings about a joyful tear; I know deep inside Who brought you to me; He knew all along how amazing we'd be; Together as a couple just...

I heard a new song as day was breaking, Rising from the heart of the waiting earth, As if the world from deep sleep was waking, Singing a welcome message of rebirth. The Winter has been hard, and icy winds Have sucked the joy from every living thing Casting a doleful blight on hearts and minds. But new hope stirs with the coming of Spring, And as new green shoots raise their tender heads Above the barren ground, so my hea...

I've waited patiently to be the woman by your side; I've watched my other romancesas they ran their course and died; I've always wanted you, but you were so very far away; Never in my loving armsat the end of each long day;  Now we meet again,after 'lo these many years; And the love I feel for youis worth the time I spent in tears; Though you are not yet free, my time I'll calmly bide; For I still dream of the dayI'll be...

I pray you, do not trample on my dreams. Though you may only see this outer shell, A frail thing of flesh; this outward reality, Is of no greater substance than the air,Masking the real truth that lies withinFrom the unperceptive gaze of the world,Blinded by the harsh glare of common sense. Outwardly I may be on the dread pathThat leads to mortal decay and old age,My limbs may now be clothed in sagging flesh, Where in my...

The coldness stretches out, touching all cornersBare trees, bare everythingThe air is crisp and chilly, seeping in through the gapsYou disappear in the silenceWinter’s arms outstretched around you, trying to drag you inThe bleakness gripping you with icy fingertipsThe days are short and the nights are longThe sky is dark. BlackEndlessAchingLonely days and lonely nightsEverything is gray and desolateAloneBut then you remem...

Was I never enough?   I know I have given my all I have loved you more than I could ever love myself I have given you all there is to me But still, you have left me Alone, broken and irreparable   It’s incomprehensible, You’ve loved someone, but they don’t love you as much, Or would they even love you at all? It’s even unfair, But has life never been one?   People love and they get their hearts broken, People stay out of...

When my world is darker than I can understand.When my sky turns gray with no light in sight.When nothing turns out the way, I've planned.When I can’t sleep at all, through the lonely night.I turn to you like a flower bends toward the sun.You can turn me around when I’m upside down.I turn to you ‘cause you’re the only one.When I need inspiration, when I need advice.When my insides are wracked with anxiety.You lift my spiri...

I don't want to hear it.All about how you became this way, Or any way at all. Face all the facts. It was your decision to make your life hell,And now you fall. But don't you tell me such a whiny story. I don't want to hear it, 'cause... Take away the drugs. Take away the booze.Take away the pain that's in the news. Take away the screaming. Take a way the fighting.What is left but peace in this big blue sky? I just want to...

“Do you believe in heaven?” That sudden question dragged me from my daydreams as I was sitting by the plane’s window seat. I stared at the guy momentarily as he took his seat beside mine. “I suppose. Don’t we all?” I answered, almost disinterestedly. I liked talking to strangers, but I was hoping to spend my one hour ride in peace. “I guess, human as we are, we will always want to believe in heaven or something similar.”...

“Only if you know how to." I heard that as I saw him wipe those tears away. I stopped dead in my tracks momentarily forgetting why I was in that empty hallway again. I longingly watched his back disappear into the men’s room with drooping shoulders, seemingly carrying the weight of the world. Could a heart become whole and crumble into pieces all at the same time over and over? It’s been what? Two or three months? I’ve lo...

Dear GodIs it too much to ask for companionship in this lifeAs I walk this path of loneliness you dealt for meWhile you look down from aboveSomeone to hold my hand, kiss my lipsTo smile and assure me compassionTo show me the meaning of loveWith every beat of my fluttering heartWith your own hands you created this imperfectionThis monstrosity I see everyday in the mirrorEyes that stare backHiding pain and fear amongst the...

Somewhere beyond and out thereA place far better than hereWhere the only way is truthWith no room for any lieWhere eyes are always openAnd hearts never become closedA place of brightness and loveDevoid of darkness and hateSome say this is where we comeThe place where we will all goThat this cold world is our deathAnd the warmth there is our birthWhere there's no more need to fightAnd one's self can be at peaceWhere there...

My Body is shaking Heart close to breaking Just who the fucking hell Did that jerk think he was taking? You do not force a woman Down on her knees That is not her place You moronic sleaze! You ask a woman nicely Perhaps seduce her with finesse But you absolutely never coerce Because of your physical prowess A woman’s heart and body Are hers alone to share If given to you freely Treat them with the utmost of care!
