Thirsty

I never planned to be alone
Floating through forever without connections
I never thought I’d feel the cold
Of lofty fleeting unmeaningful moments

I never thought I’d feel adrift 
Speaking through dreams and whispers
There’s no replies to my thoughts 
I never thought I’d miss her

I was prepared for the night
When her soul would depart and body lay bare
My mind was strong and steady
While my heart just withered and despaired

Never did I want for a flicker
I’d take anything she’d left for me, I know
I’d grasp for the slightest semblance
For I knew my heart would never let go

I remember her vividly still
My life is frozen in a moment of tears
I just can’t let go
Of the possibility that her soul still exist

The Beginning and End of Love

Has a woman ever made your head lean to one side

Has she ever made you wonder why

Has a woman ever made you go WOW in your thoughts

And before you realize

you have been talking out loud

And the one you’re with doesn’t quite understand…

Has a woman ever made you love

love so hard it hurts but feels so right

And through God’s plan she became yours that night…

I had a woman like that, who brought tears to my eyes,

from thoughts of her and how she may die,

I laid beside

and wondered why

all the questions

and all the lies

The many flowers and food I brought

To pass the time and delay the thought

To appease her mind and ease her fears

How darkness comes and time will disappear

My love is powerless but warms her soul

and that’s all she needs I pay the toll

These precious moments I won’t forget

so unsatisfying yet pleasing I will take what I can get

There was more I had to say but I’ll let you rest for awhile

But I’ll remember your glow, your essence, your smile…



Cherish… My love…

True story…
