I took for granted everything,

colors of every hue.

I didn’t know those colors

filled my world because of you.

So, like the fool I am

I let you go, too blind to see

that on my own I am just alone

and things turned out to be

where colors slowly slipped away,

the yellows, greens and blues.

And now the only color left…

is the memory of you.

Two days until Christmas.

Two hours until light.

Too often you fill up

my dreams in the night.

Too tired to keep going.

Too weak to move on.

Two lovers divided…

in one love gone all wrong.

His love for her was strong but still,

a longing in his soul

took him to where he could be free,

but ocean’s take their toll.

He never did return

although she waited faithfully.

Day and night she sat there watching,

hoping she would see.

She prayed that his ship would return

but fate will have its way.

She waited til her time was spent,

until her hairs ...

Starring out my window this December rainy night,

all I can do is long for you again.

Sometimes I feel I’m over you, like maybe I just might

move on and forget about all that’s been.

But as the raindrops fall, all of the tears I hold inside

come tumbling down as blue skies turn to grey.

And then it doesn’t matter much, how hard I have tried

to let you go and go another wa...

Too many nights, too many times

I've woke in sweat and had to find

a way to push you out again,

and pray once more that this will end.

That from my heart you'll finally leave

and not come back into my dreams.

For I am old enough to know

the years have made our love run cold.

And I am wise enough to see…

I only love your memory.

An old porch swing made once for two.

Cool night breeze calling out to you.

Ten thousand memories rise above,

the sunset waters of our love.

Just like the day slips into the night,

the love we had that was oh so right

it slipped away. It slipped away,

like day slips into night.

Was our love doomed to come and pass,

one day as fire, one day as ash?

Night afte...

Soft moonlit eyes that paralyze.

Unbridled passion on the rise.

The room afire in fading light.

Fragrant desire fills up the night.

As worlds dissolve, so unaware.

Entangled in your casual stare.

Nowhere to hide.  No way to see.

No self-control inside of me.

Slow motion moves through tangled time.

In shallow breath I feel that I’m

adrift upon your velvet sea...

The torn remain

of what was plain

waves now ore frozen ground,

in winds that blow

cold ice and snow

and other feelings down.

There isn’t much

left in a touch

to calm the trembling hand.

For winter’s chill

falls colder still

in cloak across the land.

The settled dust

and cankered rust

guard safe against the grain,

while fading dim

from deep ...

When all the leaves fall from the trees,
what does it mean to you and me?
Perhaps it wasn't meant to be
as now we reach the end.

Is there some place we didn't go?
We tried every fork in the road,
and never seemed to find a home.
My dear, what's at the end?

But we're ok. Yeah, certainly
we could have done things differently.
But side by side we took this ride
and so what is to ga...

Sailed an ocean just to reach you,
passed through a hurricane or two,
hit land to find a ring upon your hand.
I was almost there for you.

Crossed a continent to find you,
every hardship I passed through,
at ocean’s rim you were there with him.
I was almost there for you.

Does it pay to lay your heart on the line,
or believe that true love’s true?
Now I spend my time traveling on, I’m...

The piece that is missing

is the piece of my heart

that I threw like a stone

when our love fell apart.

Without looking I threw it

as far as I could.

Now I’m stuck with the fact…

that I’ve lost it for good.

First note chimes,

long silence gone.

Like breath again

or light at dawn.

Pure joy to hear,

healed by each note.

Lost in the melody,

finding hope.

With new life comes

new eyes too see,

and ears to hear

but eventually…

the song winds down,

fire fades to smoke.

For each song has

a final note.

Love has so many forms by which it shows itself each day,

in simple acts of kindness made in quite heartfelt ways.

Sometimes it takes a hand and spends the time to show it cares.

Sometimes it takes a few steps back while broken hearts repair.

And every time two lovers finally cross each other's path,

it jumps with joy to have the chance to work its favorite task.

Sometimes love is easy, so natural and pure,

but often it isn’t that clear.

Like fog in the morning makes traveling unsure,

not knowing which way you should steer.

For what comes the day you must make the hard choice,

between two you desperately you need?

It’s like choosing whether to hear or have voice,

no matter the answer you bleed.

Then how do you make a deci...

It was a beautiful story,

I wish it was my own. 

It makes me think of you,

so every now and then

I turn it on. 

Was the first song we danced to,

it made us fall in love. 

Now every time it plays

I see your face, 

you’re all I think of. 

Why does it seem true loves

are always kept apart?

Is it cruel fate,

a form of bait

that’s used to crush the he...

The stars that fill the midnight sky,

or single grains of sand

cannot compare to all his works

too vast to understand.

What number counts the drops of rain

that make the oceans wide?

How many hours and days and years

fill up eternal life?

How far the furthest star lies from

the meager grasp of man?

How far across this universe

hath he stretched fo...

Love is a game, a journey of sorts,

a search for the one who is right.

And of all the seekers, just what do they know,

are not all just travelers at night?

For it seems in darkness they search hill and dale,

hoping to find their true love.

Awash in the masses, a literal throng,

mixed in amongst push and shove.

And so, as you seek for to find it y...
