In Time

In Time 
It will happen...in time
I don't know when, and I don't know how
But it will happen...
In time

Some say that good things come to those who wait
But how much longer am I going to have to wait
As I watch all the good things around me
End up in the hands of undeserving people
But have faith my friend,
It will happen...in time

Once, twice, maybe third times a charm
Or so they tell me
The first should've been the end, but I'll settle for the third
I'm ready
Now it sits in your hands, and it will happen
In time

But please be gentle, my heart is tender
And please be kind, and show compassion
And help me heal the scars that riddle my chest, my mind, my thoughts
Because I want to feel love again, I want to love you
But I know that it doesn't happen all at once
It will happen...again
In time

Lost

I never thought it would end in this way
Losing you..
The pain, the words
Not knowing what to say
I am lost

For so long, we were one…
Together
Never feeling safe alone
And yet always remaining fearful of our bond
Proving this to serve as the outcome
Why..

Now when I say your name
Just an untouchable memory..
One that will never be again
It’s never going to be the same

A tear begins to form
On it’s way,,,waiting to fall
In the same way
As your love for me
Hitting the darkened ground…
Spilling into it’s million pieces…
Never to be whole again

Our journey’s have started..
Each a solo voyage showing tattered pieces..
With haunting dreams…shattered thoughts
Lonely souls frantically searching 
Hoping to find lost innocence once again 

The pain won’t ease…
Even though they say it will, 
But no one ever knows when
My cries never running dry..
Showing that my heart never being whole again

Yet I Wonder

Yet I Wonder.... 

I don't know what the future holds,
Yet I am living day to day.
I don't know why I hear the screams,
Yet I listen closely, often hearing my name
I don't know why I close my eyes and see the stars,
Yet it mesmerizes me and brings me comfort
I don't know why I speak, and nobody listens
Yet I keep trying in hopes that you will take up my cause
I don't know why I push myself to get up in the morning,
Yet I know if I don't, my body fails me

Yet I wonder…

I don't know a lot of things, 
And I never will,
Yet I do know that if I stop learning , 
I will stop living, and I will wonder--
WHY?

You Are In My Dream

You are in my dream…
And you know who you are… 
I am always waiting and hoping..
But I know, and you don‘t have to say…
I am only there
To admire you from afar…

You are in my dream

A chance meeting, I guess you could say…
What else would it be called?  
A simple ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ or ‘hey’..
I had wanted to do it for a while…
But never knowing what to say…

You are in my dream

We are far apart…
A mile…or two..or three..
I don’t know exactly…it all leaves my knowledge..a sorted blur
And I don’t care…
Cause in my mind, I know 
I am there…
When I cast my gaze upon you--your smile, your eyes, your stare 
And then I melt
My knees get weak, and my heart skips a beat…
And I know

You are in my dream

I know someday , it will happen…
But only if you still think of me the same
And how I long for that moment…
To touch you..your hand, your hair, your face…
To smell you, to feel you, to pull you close..
And to kiss you…
Those sweet tender lips…
A kiss that will never end…
And last forever…
A kiss that will keep you safe
And an embrace that will hold you close to my heart…

You are in my dream

Frozen

Your essence is intoxicating,pure and true
It makes me smile, and my heart skip a beat
Thoughts of your touch
I cannot wait to be in your arms again	

The sweet smell of your breath on my neck,
The taste of your body against my lips…
Take them…my lips are yours
Because without them, I am bare
Without you, I am nothing

I’ll be all that you need
All that you want
Take all of me,and I am lost
You are all that I know, all that I cherish, all that I crave
And still it is not enough

Frozen on my face, forever in time…a tear
A single tear of love..
My love for you…my life
A love you didn’t ask for…
I cannot take it back
It is yours…I need you

Like the water to the wave,
Like the blood to a vein…
And it’s your desire for me
That makes me want you close

The Promise

I’ll wait for you…
Everyday, all through the night..
Closing my eyes, seeing your smile…
A reinforcement to my tired less fight

I know you know…
And I know it too…
I have so much to show you…
So much to give…
A heart, a hug, a cry, and a laugh…
Our lives together…
A destiny for us to live.

Feeling the embrace…
Warm and secure…
Lost for a moment…
Nothing else in the world but you…
Always you…
The light in my eyes…
The brightness in a room of black…

I will wait for you…
No matter what it takes…
Wherever you go, I will follow…
Leaving nothing unsaid…
Nothing undone…
Through the good and the bad…
The sun and the rain…
The joy and the pain…
Whatever hurt can’t be eased, you can lean on me…
Always and forever.

I’ll wait for you

Aroma Tenderness

The heart can be delicate 
Warm with shadows of love,
And sweet with the fragrant aromas 
Of a sympathetic tenderness

The sounds of whispering echoes
Filling my ears
Singing their melodious tunes
Ever so softly, bringing me comfort

Healing what has been damaged
And saying what is yet to be said
Speak softly and with care
And join in the harmonious solitude
Of the empty night

The beating heart is always fragile 
Wrapped with caring arms
Of the one that holds it dear
And once again, sweet with the fragrant aromas
Yet this time of a healing tenderness

I am listening…
And I am ready to be healed

Always Wanting

This is me....where all my thoughts always turn to
I always want what I can't have.
Why? Who makes the rules? 
Yes, I want it--but I know I can never have it
The more I see it, the more I smell it...how sweet it must taste
Though it will never touch my lips
No matter how much I wish it. No matter how much I plead. 
No matter how much I yearn.

I want it, but can never have it
I see it, I feel it
So close, but yet so far
It haunts my dreams, my visions, my thoughts
It's so beautiful, so serene
But it hurts
I want it so bad that it hurts
Will the hurt get better? Can I attain what I want?
Is it within my grasp?

Maybe in a perfect instance, a perfect world
It would be mine, to cherish
To love, to hold close
But this world is not perfect.
And I can never have what I always want
