This one or that one?
Which one should I choose?
Whichever one gets me
the other will lose.
I sit here and think
and get a headache,
and while that's going on
I get a heartache.
I know it's not weird,
and I know that it's common.
Even though to them
it may seem uncommon.
I love them both
with all of my heart,
but which one of them
will have to depart.
It's one or the other.
I can't have them both.
This feeling in my heart
has exponential growth.
Why is this so hard?
Why must this be,
That both of these guys
would feel so much for me?
They both are so kind,
and they both are so sweet.
It's so hard to choose
by just sitting in this seat.
I must choose for myself
however hard it may be,
and maybe I will find
the perfect one for me.
This one or that one?
Which one should I choose?
Whichever one gets me,
the other will lose.
L.I.F.E.=Living in Faith Everyday
The climb may take a while
But the view is beautiful
...There is always going to be a tough battle
The Battle may be one that
We don't want to face
But don't give up
Keep trying.
Just keep believing
Get yourself through the day
Yes life can be thought of as a mountain
You can move mountains
And every battle
That faces us
Always be Patient and Enjoy
The experience you create
Because its all about the climb
And remember it may take a while
But the view is beautiful..
I may not be beautiful,
But I have my beauty –
If you can see.
I may not be the brightest,
But I have my wisdom –
This you should, see
I can love unconditionally,
I can be compassionate,
I am good at heart.
But still, if none of this is in your sight,
Then you’re not the one for me
I fell upon a dreadlocked man, with wood he made, with my heart he ran
For never before have i known of such inspiring thought and tempting touch
So to the forest we made our way, with plans of happy, joyful play
The trees did shelter to a degree, but not enough to protect me
As we sat faces aglow, around the fire his head hung low
For what he said he meant no harm, to save me from his free-spirited charm
You may think that denotes the end, for the woodland two that would depend
But something quite wonderful happened that night, with flickering flames and souls alight
Just like a butterfly held too tight will die, we set it free and watched it fly
It landed thankfully on a tree representing what may be
Colour, beauty, dancing wings, our friendship began cut loose of strings
I found a friend and will always be, there for him as he is for me
LOVE IS BLIND IT SNEAKS UP FROM BEHIND, BEFORE YOU CAN PUSH REWIND……
LOVE IS KIND , THAT PERSON IS ALWAYS ON YOUR MIND…..
LOVE IS SWEET, IT WILL KNOCK YOU OFF YOUR FEET WITH NO DEFEAT….
LOVE IS TENDER, IT WANT LET YOU SURRENDER…..
LOVE IS PASSION, TO ME LIKE GOOD FASHION…..
LOVE IS TRUST, FOR ME IT’S A MUST…..
LOVE IS PATIENCE, SOME MAY CALL IT HIGH MAINTENCE…..
LOVE IS COMMUNICATION, ONLY WORKS WITH DEDICATION…..
LOVE IS EMOTION, WITH GOD ITS GREAT DEVOTION…..
LOVE IS MENTAL, IT HAS EXCELLENT POTENTIAL….
LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL , NOT NONFICTIONAL….
LOVE HAS NO REASONS, IT LASTS ALL FOUR SEASON’S…
LOVE IS NO LIE WITOUT IT SOME MAY DIE…..
LOVE IS A LESSON GIVEN PROPERLY, YOU WILL RECEIVE MANY BLESSINGS…..
LOVE DON’T COST A THING, BUT IF YOU MESS IT UP, YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE….
I have been searched for ever so long
For something that can only be found
In poetry, legend, or song
I will search and search till it I find
Until I can see it within another soul
Even though they may be blind
It may be invisible to the naked eye
And it will not be easy to seek
But for it, I would die
Love is what I am talking about
Something that gives you a reason
To get up and shout
Something that makes your day true
Something without a lie or deceit
And this feeling will be so knew
It may be a fairytale
It may be a fluke
But in her eyes
I would become a Duke
I am no Prince Hamlet
Nor was I meant to be
But for love,
I would give up me
Strange as this may sound,
I long for your touch
when you are not around.
Strange as it may be,
I miss you every minute of every day.
Strange as it seems,
your voice puts me at ease.
Strange that strangers from different parts
of the world, can fall in love.
Stranger yet, is the way I love you.

Love’s Last Dance
By Rick Rucker
I’m reflecting, now, on Love’s Last Dance,
My doctor is concerned that I may have cancer,
We will have to wait a few weeks for the answer,
But I don’t want to wait, take a chance with me on True Romance?
On the dance floor, I may lack Grace,
But, as a partner, I am committed,
No source of Pleasure will be omitted,
You will see The Look of Love upon my Face,
If this were to be our Last Dance,
And I slowly dipped you toward the Floor,
Would you wish to leave, or scream for More?
Would You take this Last Chance?

You may not wear glass slippers
Or even wear a crown
You have no magic pumpkin
Or a fancy ballroom gown
But you're still my Cinderella
A princess in my eyes
I'll be your knight in shining armor
And you, my noble prize
I may not be Prince Charming
With a kingdom of my own
I don't wear those fancy clothes
Or sit on some jeweled throne
We're gonna see some bad times
And we'll probably even fight
This may not be some fairytale
That always turns out right
It's as real as we can make it
No reason for pretending
I will be your morning kiss
And you, my happy ending
And so it goes,
you live in your world,
I live in mine.
And without the grace of God
we may never be close again,
never be “together” again.
After many more weeks I may be able
to sleep and dream once more
without seeing your faces.
For time is healing this hurt
slowly, so slowly
that it may take a lifetime.
A lifetime I’d rather spend
having special people like you
to hold, to love.
But we’re seldom given what we want,
you and I,
nevertheless, I will always try to be your friend.
No matter what it costs me
my caring will continue.
And so it goes…

I witness through the gentleness of your hands,
the tender strength of your arms, in your eyes- love,
I understand the speech your body expresses,
The slight turn of your head, the way the flames in my heart
Are fanned- great waves beginning, and your heart too-
See its beauty, feel its warmth,
And then I can hear it.
My breath is withdrawn but just as sudden-
Everything is made clear- the love I attribute
From you. Never let me go, if I fall I will shrivel- so cold.
A humble request of my love, my tears, expressed through
A trembling kiss.
Lift my face to yours, so I feel your breath,
Feel the beginning of lust,
But it is so much more.
Substantial and pure, enveloped in peace,
A feathered touch upon my skin I cease
To exist.
As I am calm, in the mold of your arms
Held and caressed, I know true bliss,
We may finally begin, each other, we may finally begin,
Life with our hearts,
Entwined as one,
I do not wish to be my own
I want only to be yours.
In order to "be", we’re given three gifts- one life - one fate - one death
For successful living we need these gifts- faith, hope, charity and love
The greatest of these gifts is love, as it embodies all others
Love may bring light in deepest darkness
Love may heal wounds
May pardons all wrongs
Love conquers eternal death!
~*~
Silent watching from afar, her tears fall down like rain
No one sees her hide her eyes, no one sees her pain
She sits and laughs and smiles away, hoping no one knows
What dark secrets she hides inside, or how far she will go
To see the one that she holds dear, the one who is in her heart
She pretends there is nothing there, inside she is torn apart
She knows that it may never come to pass, it may never come to be
And so she keeps it locked up tight, and hopes for some reprieve
He holds her heart, He holds dreams she knows she can’t break free
She hopes deep down she never will, one day He will finally see
Until then the tears will fall inside her as she plays the part
And all the while she stop and smile, and slowly fall apart
A REQUEST
My dreams were dead
You made them fly,
When I touched you
That made you shy…
I will be the soil
So that you can step on me,
I will be the grass
So that you will walk on me…
In the past days,
The sun burnt my memory,
In the nights,
The moon turned my memory,
And the rest of time
Your love stung my memory…
I will wait for you
Where the earth kisses the sky,
I will wait
Where silver moon smiles and the dreams fly,
For you I will break my heart
And make my eyes ever cry…
On the bed of desert
I will sleep under the blanket of sand,
Wandering aimlessly through
Life’s grey desert land
No one can feel,No one can heal
I will be buried
If not get your helping hand…
Whenever your heart says
To meet me again
Then touch my photograph
And kiss my poem
I may be in the earth,I may be in the heaven
No one can stop me
To enter in your dream…
If i hold ur hands,will you lie on my shoulders?
So that i could smell your hair,
So that i could feel the warmth,
So that i could hear the beat,
So that it may all fill my dreams,
So that my dreams may feel real,
So that i could live this reality for eternity!
