Patients

The clock ticks...
Faster & faster
Time flyes by,
How long must I wait?

The hour hand hits the seven,
It make me cry.
My face is flushed and hot,
Theres a knock at the door.

Who can it be? 
I try to fix myself up.
My heart is pounding.
Will you notice my unhappiness?
Can it be?

Happiness, Love, Questions but honesty.
Everythings all right!

Is It a Dream World

A funny little clown, a bright red nose.
Lots of make-up, and bright blue bows.

Children laughing, some fat and some thin.
Either dressed in new clothes or rags that are faded and dim.

Pretty white ponies with beautiful glittery saddles.
And again, those funny clowns are hitting eachother with paddles.

One clown keeps fallimg and pretending to cry.
The other is daydreaming and lets out a big sigh.

There are beautiful ladies whose costumes are rare.
And a man who scares the children by dressing up as a bear.

Fantasizing is a convienient thing, it keeps the shock low.
So the surprise about the real world won't be such a big blow.

"Surprised about what"? is what you ask next.
Its something you can't learn in a text.

You'll learn about life by the things you go through.
You'll learn about whats fake and about what is true.

You'll see that the clowns are still funny and have a red nose.
But then you'll see realize only money buys the ladies rare clothes.

That's also when you realize your clothes are faded and dim.
And you recognize how many times you've been beaten by him.

Yes, those clowns with paddles are at it again.
Funny. They are married and they're children number ten.

Thier children are scared and crying in bed.
Because thier big mean daddy made thier sweet mommy dead.

I Need a Fortuneteller

"Why isnt the phone ringing"? I keep thinking to myself.
Did he already put his heart and us, high upon a shelf?

I have'nt been gone 24 hours and I feel as though I am not missed.
My mind keeps going back to the last time we kissed.

It was gentle and sweet, filled with desire..
He put my mind in a whirlwind, and set my body on fire.

Why cant he love me? as i love him?
I wish he'd open his heart and let me in!

I don't know how long to try, or even if I should?
I don't want to think I should have gotten out while I could.

I'm already in so deep, he owns my fragile heart.
From him, i wish to never part.

Will he break this heart, will I cry endless tears?
or will we be together for many happy years?

I need a fortuneteller, a genie or a magicball
To just fill me in, tell me all.

My Life Is a Play

The curtain falls and one by one the characters fall into place.
I feel Im watching my own life, ill explain

The whole world seems to be against me, but I refuse to give in. I feel no one cares. I try to show the world what ive got, but it gets so hard. Its all so confusing. Who can I trust? you? her?him? them? Confusion my best friend.

This one character fits me perfectly. I feel I can get up on that stage and read her lines to the tee!
As I continue watching the play and try to figure out the finale.
My problems are right here. Right in front of me. I watch intensely.

                THE CURTAIN FALLS

Red lights are flashing. It wasnt the right answer. I dont want to die. God please save me. I'll be stronger, and I'll try harder. God help me.

Looking UP, i can see my family and friends and you. God help me.I let them all down. Im so sorry! I guess i deserve to be where I am...but..I..Did love you all!

Goodbye To My Baby

I never got to see your face
or hold you in a warm embrace.

I never got to count your toes
or dress you in ribbons and bows.

I never got to call you by name
you were gone as fast as you came.

I never heard "mommy leave on the light"
or tuck you into bed at night.

I will never get to see you grow & grow
In heaven we will meet eachother and get  to know

Id love to have smelled the odors of youth
or be there when you lost your first tooth.

Now i wish i could turn back time
cause then you'd be forever mine

The one thing I have is the memory of the day
the doctor had something to say.

he said listen to this, its her heart pounding away
Lord ill never forget that day.

But i now i guess it is time for goodbyes
knowing we will be together again, keeps the tears from my eyes.

Goodbye my child, your in good hands
and ill see you in the holy land

Daves Song

Music flows from your soul
like a life force deep within
brings you to a place where love shines

Can u it in your veins?
Does the beat match your hearts rythums
Do you  envision beauty and peace
with the sound of each note.

(chorus)
music man let the sound engulf me
take me over
entwine me in the mood

Can u feel it in your mind?
Do you see the sun and the stars?
space..filled with your notes
each signified by your creation

music man let the volume rise,
take me over
make me beg for more
leave me wanting

(chorus)
music man let the sound engulf me
take me over
entwine me in the mood

Us

As I sit here all by myself, i listen to our song.
I dont feel alone, even though i am
this song puts you where you belong.

If you want to know where youve been placed it in my heart.
theres pieces of my heart given out to many, many people but YOU have the biggest part.

I want both of you to try and try hard, we can make it if we do
i feel it, alwaysdid and always will, i dont know how i knew.

I know after you move it won't be easy
But i think well make it through
We'll have eachothers caring to keep us sane and together but oh how ill miss you.

Please dont forget me, i dont think you will.
I doubt ill let you, cause weve got something nothing can kill.

Well my dear im running out of rhymes, so i guess id better go.
just think what this poem might have said if you were still saying NO.

What Would Happen

What would happen if we knew the world would end tommorrow?
 Would people laugh, cry, party,sigh or go crazy with sorrow?
 
I don't know what I'd do. I just hope my goals are completed!
 I hope I know my place on this earth was something that was needed!
 
Could you imagine the unorganized panic if people were to know-
 What would happen if we couldnt beat this one clever foe?
 
I know for sure if everyone died, I would'nt want to live.
 I need my family & friends and all the love they have to give!
 
So. I can now say that if the world should end tommorrow, i don;t want to know.
 For now, I'll live my life as long and as far as it can possibly go.

Heaven

As I lay here in my bed
pen in hand, thoughts in head

I remember those who have passed away
and i know ill see them again someday

Some ill meet, some i knew
Angels will guide me through,

Brightly lit, refreshing smells
will tell me i didnt go to hell

Huge castles and works of art
and heaven has its own Walmart.

No on is to fat or to thin
everyone love the skin their in

Cookies bake all day long
And a thought plays your favorite song.

Smoking is permitted, food can be junk
and 10 Corona's wont make you drunk

Angels fly by to lead the way
everyone is hard at play.

flags fly high in the air
heaven is beautiful, i have to stare.

glistening walls and floors of gold
each person has God's promise they will never grow old

happiness over flows and the hurt is gone
A fountain can make a brunette a blonde

There is no sickness, no need for pills
everything is all down hill

Smiles fill every face
no anger, shame, or disgrace

God is our father and he greets with love
making you see he has been waiting above

waiting just for me and all his sheep
His love is mine to forever keep

My dream of heaven is a happy one
Since im gods child, ill be there when my days are done

This Was a Close One

I can't believe I was such a fool, I fell for those adorable eyes.
I can't believe theres someone else, i guess the caring i saw was just the start of your lies.

But you did'nt get me hooked, I did'nt waste to much of my time.
It all happened so fast, Thank God- I would of sdoon felt you were mine.

I'll admit it hurts alittle, I mean I thought it might might work.
But there can't be two of us, only one, and I'm not gonna be the jerk.

Maybe you did'nt intentionally lead me on, i don't know. You dont look like that kind of guy.
But yet I know for a fact that looks can decieve, i guess I just want someone by my side.

I'm very confused again, I mean, I feel really alone.
I know I have my friends but I want to hear I care in a promising tone.

Maybe it was'nt to soon, I do have feelings for you deep down inside.
I don't know what to do, I just hope they are easy to hide.

I want someone to care, not like a friend, something more.
I need someone who I can believe in, someone who makes me feel secure.

I want a relationship, no acting, we could of had it all. 
I want someone whose gonna love me forever, and be there should I ever fall.

I guess theres nothing I can do, At least I can say I tried.
I'd still like to know you're a friend standing by my side.

We still have eternity......
