I can smile
I can smile ,sure I can , But I forgot how to smile , memories faded , Time whispered ,days gone , Promises withered ,gain lost ??. I can love ,trust me I can , But loving requires trust ,that I have not , They took my innocent soul, Taught it to repeat the oath - trust no one ! I can be...

Premium Member AS RICH AS I CAN BE
They were sitting in the afternoon sun …in a field of flowers atop a little rise… when the daughter asked a question which took her mother by surprise. “Are we rich or poor?” The daughter asked… “This girl at school, Elizabeth, …she swore… that since I don’t wear the nicest clothes…our family must be poor.” “The answer’s not that...

When I Loose Myself - I Can Only Dream
My only friend, The night is full of stars, scattered like lost prayers upon the velvet dark. I stand beneath them, adrift in my own unknowing, whispering words of kindness, into the legal wind, hoping they may find you. I respect the you without the why, the way a river respects the ocean, never asking why it must...

I can only imagin
I can only imagine the marriage of life From youthfull marriage to the end of life But I cannot see what was not meant for me one by my side No one else to see Children made by her and me some like her others like me The making of choices Of what they may be The ageing together the problems we'll flee the undying love and sometimes disgrace The...

Premium Member I can wait for you, my love, in the silence of flowing time
I can wait for you, my love, in the silence of flowing time, long and heavy years, with faith burning in every moment, and let the nights be silent witnesses, guardians of longing, one year, two, perhaps even a lifetime, wrapped in dreams. The leaves of the calendar fall like the leaves of a tree in autumn, but my desire...

Premium Member I can build a new personality, like a sculptor shaping the clay of life
I can build a new personality, like a sculptor shaping the clay of life, But I feel the gaze of who I once was, watching me from the shadow of memories, I try to bury her, but my hands weaken when digging deep into the past, And I cannot burn her, for the flames would leave scars on...

All I can do!
Because that is all I can do! Influence the little spheres where I have presence! A little space for all my voices! Voices that speak choices, Choices that direct violence! Violence so benevolent, benevolently left for your choices! Because that is all I can do! Speak truthfully in all ways, Weigh what is on my mind, and temper it with the wind. And wind up my...

Thing's I Can Not Fix
The hardened heart, a fortress cold, No warmth within, no hand to hold. A rigid mind, like stone it stays, Unyielding through unnumbered days. The eyes that turn from beauty's grace, Blind to the sky, the moon's soft face. The trees that whisper, bushes sway, Their emerald song fades into gray. Your look, the storm within your eyes, A tempest where no solace lies. The...

I Can No Longer Fight You
{“You can’t fight for what’s left in you, You cannot fight against the waging war that disrupts within you. You can’t be against it, it was fulfilled with nature, the nature of you with every implementation of your flesh being ripped off from the soils of the ground as you were sculpted by the Creator,...

I can finally breathe by Teresa zimmermann
Hello my little friend We meet once again Go away, leave me alone But I'm the only one that's always home That may be so, but I know that's not true This can't be it, it can't just be you Well I'm always here when your feeling down Especially when I see you, everytime you frown That's not ok,...
