heroin 
is killing
everything
I once 
held dear
so many
friends
gone to
the hereafter
leaving 
me alone
with methadone...

Many sights I will never see,
Many utterances I will never hear,
Many flavors will remain untasted,
Many lovers will never again be held dear....

Do you see me up there God, and know my heart?
All that I held dear is now worlds apart.
I am like a new bird getting her wings.
Give me more faith Lord, for all that life brings....

I've heard it a million times,
By friends, family, and others I've held dear,
"Oh, Catie, don't worry about her, she'll be fine."
So let me tell you now...
 No, Catie will not be fine....

pressed flowers, held dear of someone lost
turned crisp
between yellowed pages
which have begun to stick
once beautiful
now decayed and lost once more

Time holds nothing
watching it flow
bring to birth
only to see it fade
 Time gives no warning
in a moment 
everything held dear
becomes ash
 Time is a friend
it is also an enemy
bringing an end to it all...

Our love entices us
to risk the silhouettes 
of those we once held dear
 
Our memories chide us
to hold back our desires
from the one's now so near
 
Our passion keeps us
dodging those shadows
and feeding that which we fear...

People who from the heart
In our lives have been a part
Whether they are near or far
Not with us or in the bar
They will always be held dear
While we try through tears to peer
Because the joy of knowing you
Fills our thoughts of love so true...

Why do thy eyes look so sad
Have thy been betrayed
Like I have

Betrayed by thy dearest friend
Whose friendship I held dear
Who now I look at 
With hatred
In thy eyes

Who will never trust again
For thy have been betrayed
By thy dearest friend....

When the time to depart from this world comes

And the things we held dear must leave behind

We see that the only things we carry with us

Are our good deeds that our soul has enshrined!

I wander down the road
Feeling the heavy load
Of those things we held dear
And were so sincere

And some things make me smile
Because I know it was your style
So they will be with me forever
As these things will leave me never.

If tomorrow was but a word
and today is all there is
would not each moment hold meaning
each breath pleasure
knowing its all counted as sand
melting before you
 If tomorrow was but a word
how would this end
all that is held dear
would it finally be free...

Some ask is there gain or merit,
Or what is the prize.
The word with sighs, replies
A crown that will not fade
On each of us is laid.
Reborn from dust
Those resurrected just,
To reign a thousand year
Where love's held dear.
Made right with Him,
Life without sin....

Treasured within
is that moment held dear.
A freindship was born
with a maiden afar.

Held deep inside
is the heart in her words
and each x that follows
is a smile worn within.

Cherished her presence
though distant so near.
A cold sea between...

Wont drown this connection....

Here in the dark I will not stay
Better days are ahead 
And will come my way
I will rescue a few while I am here
Together we are strong
An will push one another along
An no longer live in fear
I will look back a shed many a tear
For a love I thought we had and held dear..........

Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us every day.
We see their smiles in memories
and feel their essence in the breeze.
We relive family scenes in dreams
and feel their touch~~or so it seems.
We cherish things they once held dear,
mementoes now. They bring us cheer....

Thought forms appear and disappear
Like waves of the ocean
Veils that self-block God to draw near
Love, the magic potion

Love transmutes lower mind
Freeing us from its bind
Leaving ego behind

Desires held dear
Thought forms appear

Nothing left to hide
Everything is crystal clear
I must sound absurd

How does one confide
In shattered mirrors held dear
Using only words

Why do I reside
In broken hearts filled with fear
Cage confines the bird

Take it all in stride
Love will resurrect good cheer
Mend my broken world...

In verse I blend my roles, multiplicity defined..
A poet-mother-daughter, all within my design.

Sister, secretary, cleaner, nurse—my busy days abide..
Dreamer, philosopher, optimist, by my side.

Psychic and intuitive, my spirit held dear..
Engineer, crafting futures, breaking barriers without fear....

The Hitchcockiain dream sold me a frightfull silence

Filled with the screams of forever

Fate married a closed gate there

And expectations raped by losing hands destroyed all I held dear

This empty kiss left me bouncing brain cells off of concrete walls

And yerning for the protracted silence that ends at dawn to hurry on...

laying here
mind running wild
all these thoughts
flood my mind
drive me crazy
still I have no doubt
what we have is right
worth every thing
I'd never give up our moments
each memory is precious
a treasure held dear
keep them close
play them over in my mind
I hear your voice
words that I love hearing
I never tire of it all...

The thing is to die well 
But I suppose that only matters in the tell
You would like to think you could say
Goodbye my friend I want you to stay

And I remember the laughs on you face
Sitting together remembering the time and place
So when the final goodbye is here
Our friendship is still savoured and held dear.

On drowsy hamlets mobile hordes descend,
From tight-lipped forests rises a babel. 
Wanderlust is to distant wonders sent,
As fleets of long-haul birds skyward rumble.
Where massed footprints to virgin lands extend,
And sights are packaged for all to sample,
Coy beauties in nature’s bosom held dear
From between heaven and earth disappear....
