Not for ailing love
our beautiful balloon, about to burst,
an endless journey meets its sudden end,
forced to tango with our faults.

Time erases sadness
“Sadness flies away on the wings of time.”
—Jean De La Fontaine
...................................................
Heavy is this gray cloud above our heads,
Its weight like stone, it bows our shoulders low.
The robe of joy we wore is torn to shreds,
We're clothed in tears, in despair, ache, and woe,
Yet still we crave good hearts to love and care.
This yoke we bear

Echoes of the Silent Shore
Echoes of the silent shore into our past it transports
Calling me to my memories long ago stored
Safely put away
for days like today
when I need you and my eyes are red and sore
Echoes of the silent shore make me want you more
than I have truly wanted anyone ever after or before
To have and hold you
wrapped in

stanyan street
stanyan street
.
.
we walked along stanyan street
where amber-colored streetlights
looked down upon us
like hundreds of sunrises
as if in reverence and respect
.
we held white candy bags
holding secrets of smiles and memories
of how we used to eat crepes
and dance with parking meters
before feeding them a diet of quarters

my Young Love
You held me close as night danced us away
We welcomed the stars into our embrace
You gathered moonbeams into a bouquet
our love created a magical place.
We laughed and loved, life was so full of fun
We loved intensely, we had found our love
We celebrated our days in the sun
We fit together like a lambskin glove.
Just memories now

Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing
In my youth, strong and commanding,
I was proud to be the last man standing
They say pride goeth before a fall
But way back then, I had it all
All the good times, all the songs
You were the reason I sang along
All the road trips, all the fun
and start again when the day was done
I look

Let me go
Let me go
Don’t kill my soul, felt your evil will, it’s kind of you
You are a beautiful creature, but inside, you are so cruel
You know the life given by God, and you use it like a selfish kind
Lost years, lost times, lost opportunities, lost meetings are all your fine
Life is fine, sometimes could be fine,

Take Me Back the Day We Met
Turn back the hands of time,
Against the fading light,
Keep me in that moment,
Everything felt so right.
My heart raced, unsure but alive,
Echoes of your smile still survive.
Bring me back to where it began,
All the stars aligned in our plan.
Close my eyes and I still see,
Kisses that were meant to be.
Take me back to that sweet day,
How

Memories of You
Memories of You
You’re more than just a memory tucked deep within my heart
you’re the brilliance of the sunrise that cues the day to start.
You’re the rustle of the wind blowing softly through the trees,
the music of a wind chime dancing on an evening breeze.
You’re a symphony of robins returning in the spring

I just loved you
I just loved
I just loved, just loved, and loved. And loved
Need a God in my life, can’t be my life’s kind
If my life is a problem, let me lose that, cross the time
Forget my problem, get me yours, I need your love in yours
Feel my soul, still beating, a take my life into yours
Death is

An Amicable Parting
Our love was a mixture of dreams,
joy and pain, they were not of equal
parts.
Oh, but how they each tore the
heartstrings apart,
Now, we are at the crossroads of
parting ways,
So let’s admit to the World once more
and say It’s just you and I.
There’s no need for tears to cascade
down our cheeks or

We Used To Be So Close
We used to be so close
Nose to nose
Eyes to eyes
These are not lies.
Now, you’re so far
It’s like a strange war
You get upset
For no reason
This is a new season
Let’s not bet
To separate forever
Or to quit loving each other.
Let’s reminisce
That’s not a sin
Let’s try again
To be face to face
Very close
Nose to nose
Eyes to eyes
Under the blue skies.

Gaslit Memories
When I was younger, days moved softly,
an endless waltz of hours beneath the cherry blossoms
where I walked alone, convincing myself
that solitude was sweet, that love was for the others.
My footsteps in the fall, crisp and solitary,
echoed through halls of laughter I dared not enter.

If I had a dime
If I had a dime
I'd pay for the time that I had lost long ago
but I only have a penny and a head
filled with many memories of summer spent with you
Now it's winter, and I still think
of the summer nights
although we had our fair share of fights
nothing compares to those 90 days
