Beautiful

Beautiful

a cup of coffee 
a sip or two 
passerby's walk by 
tip the waiter 
Don't really know if I could change 
we have been friends for such a long time 
with words soft & tenderly 
one may evoke a feeling of retreat 
still deep inside there rises a pulse of fever 
long to discover situations 
snap shot memories of are past 
having so much fun with a hope that it would last 
yet when I look deep into your eyes 
I can see a beautiful future 
filled up with love for a much brighter tomorrow 
amidst the pain & sorrow 
a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of love 
the truest wishes of love mingled in the fire 
of your purest desire 
the wheels go round inside my mind 
count your cards in the deck 
as you wait by the door 
a joyful solace down deep inside 
the ocean has a way of soothing the senses 
basking in the vast expanse of jubilation 
let the fire of affliction deliver you from its remorseful blow 
every highway I slip away on you 
have we bitten off far more then we could ever chew 
yet I have seen much better days in my life 
coupled with light laughter it will often shatter 
an explosion deep inside 
we have every reason not to run away & hide 
tranquil piers of death door explosion 
old rusty nails meant for my coffin 
the fire fly's passing & soon you'll be asking 
where is the beauty within me 
this is my one last plea
