Until the Water Runs Dry

Sensuous dreams, a love that was lost,
Wind over fire, rain after frost.
Willow trees blow, firecrackers spark,
whispers of love alone in the dark.
Lusterous hearts, undying love,
caressing your body, reigning from above.
Kiss me once my heart does plead,
kiss me twice, my soul shall bleed.
Raindrops patter in my face,
within my heart, I see his grace.
I love you more, he said in tears,
releasing his hopes, his dreams and his fears.
You'll live in my heart although I cry,
you'll live in my heart, until the water runs dry.

Death In the Wind

I smell decay in the air. Stagnant. Sticky. It curls its wrinkled boney finger towards 
me telling me it will be back. Tick tock. Tick tock. The wind blows my hair away from 
my face and my soul away from my body. And then the wind stops, giving me my 
soul back just long enough for it to start blowing again and carry it away one final 
time.

Happiness

Weeping willow, sun-kissed haze,
spring flowers glow with honeydew glaze.

Dragonflies dance, sparrows fly,
endless rainbows in a cloud-filled sky.

Cascading waterfalls, hot summer days,
marshmallows roasting by a campfires blaze.

Bumblebees buzz, firecrackers spark,
lightening bugs glow all through the dark.

Run Away

Run away from the pain
that is growing inside,
Run away in vain,
run away and hide.

Run away from the darkness, 
closing in on me,
Run away from the hatred, 
so I cannot see.

Untouchable

She is always searching for his love. It looks so close, like she could reach out and 
touch it. She tries but it's in vain. She could've no sooner reached his heart than she 
could've reached a star.

Tick Tock

Time ticks, time tocks,
love grows stronger, yet it mocks.

Days and months and years go by,
Will my heart and soul defy?

Do my eyes and ears deceive?
Does my heart dare to believe?

Is my heart telling a lie?
Will my soul be left to die?

Only time and fate will tell,
and only when the time is well.

Will your love stay true to me?
It is you who holds the key.

Endless Heartbreak

Hurting, bleeding, crying, yearning,
endless heart break, screaming, burning.

Agony, grief, sorrow, dying,
deep inside, my heart is sighing.

Touch me, hold me, I'm screaming inside,
for your love, I will abide.

Arising fire, scorching flame,
souls to ember, you to blame.

Cascade waters, sparkling white,
fountains flow, beautiful light.

Leaves dance across the ground,
for your love has yet to be found.

To Love

To touch, to feel, to see sunrise,
To know, to learn, my spirit dies.
To forgive, to forget, to cherish, to hold,
To caress your body, so radiant, so bold.
To hurt, to bleed, my soul shall do,
To give my heart only to you.
To look up to Heaven, beyond and above,
To look down to Hell, the creation of love.
To shed a tear for a mournful loss,
I give to you, my heart, I cross.
To whisper your name, so alone, so scared,
My love to you, I gave, I bared.



Dedicated to my husband...rest in peace

Never Ending Darkness

Downward. Spiraling out of control. Into a darkness so black and empty that its perimeter 
can only be described as infinity. Void. Empty. But full of betrayal, deceit, hatred, disbelief. 
The air is thick, heavy, stagnant...poisoned. But only one thing truly exists in this area of 
nothingness. As I push back the tears, madness and denial I see it as clear as day. Death.

Without You

Without your love what will I do?
I gave my heart and soul to you.

Without you, who will I embrace?
I've reserved in my heart, for you, a place.

Without you close, I feel my heart break,
each time you go, endless heartache.

Without you near, where will I turn?
How will I cope? When will I learn?
