The Most Beautiful One I thought I saw you twinkling upon a star No, it was only the light that it nightly shine Still, I can feel your presence no matter how far This universe is not so vast that you’re not mine. I believed I saw your smile rising with the dawn But it was the sun who was waking her brilliant head Yet, they day can never awake unless you are reborn And this world can never stir unless by your love led. I thought I heard your voice when I heard a robin sing But, n...

Lost Love Again I saw this woman that proved life a mystery I believed the last angel was mine But through her radiance beckoned to me For from that realm, she was next in line. But this story had still more to say From a script I could never understand Not salvation but as a temptress came my way To see what could be but never have her hand. Cold world, learning how painful love is to lose Colder still, when even a salve denied I saw her respite but still it could not choose I...

Death's Second Self This mythical fascination with immortality I believe each moment here is precious Though I know Death will stop for me Then the life I live here most relish. When that time comes and I must leave I wish my time here remembered well Though those left behind for me may grieve The example I left, I wish, lives on to tell. No need to hope this earth no limits give The time it allows is enough for me I am grateful for those moments it lets me live Though there ma...

A Look I see the way you look at me And you see the way I look at you Our heart's invitation all can see Only a few words to see it through. Our feelings nothing can deny Now the next step they must take That our longing will satisfy And from our feelings our union make. And learn love’s appearance unknown It does not care if you believe it shows It is governed by what our spirit sown And only by what our heart knows. Seeing you again may be the time When our feelings to ou...

 Only a Taste There was an angel that Heaven sent to me And through her spirit I learned to love A feeling that from this earth made me free I should have known it came from above. For soon from this place, she had to go And I was left to deal with what she left behind Without her love only sorrow left to know And nowhere else such love could find. And now I am left with only this question Should I go on without a woman so divine? Then have to continue having learned this lesson...

Christmas Forever  the world was dark before, no end in sight Until that morn a babe was born here That from our darkness showed the light That showed us hope and no more fear. And now the darkness comes once more So why do we want to celebrate? For all that's bad goodness does abhor This day we show that it can wait. It may well be our fate uncertain For the babe turned man put it in our hands Will we rise to the occasion or pull the curtain? Maybe He the only one who understa...

Christmas Every Day You say it’s Christmas every day and it is true Except this Christmas a couple things missing I will miss the snowfall and now, you Between the two, you the best dressing. I can go without the snow or the cold But that day on the beach I saw your radiance That warmth will not be here to see or hold Even though the sun shines in all its brilliance. So, I will look for Christmas in an empty season Maybe place a tree to spread some cheer Without the one who gave...

The Love You Give  Isolated where paradise in all its grandeur live But its beautiful bounty is not meant for me For all its riches your precious love does not give  And for its landscape to be complete you I need to see.  So, I reside where heaven would call a second home  But where it best lived was in your eyes Now where all seems complete my heart needs to roam  To find the love that would be paradise’s greatest prize.  And the night’s moon beckons and the morning call The st...

Love Never End  So, I now know what I felt not real How could I be so mistaken? And illusions for once did feel And my heart so falsely taken.  But why do you still live in my dreams? When your true feelings shown Love is seldom what it seems So, I must return to being alone.  But when I sleep you are still there What I can shake in the day not last For in the Night my feelings laid bare That from my waking world been cast. So, love not something rejection takes away Or wha...

The Promise In a few days, our nation will let the world hear our voice And it will be loud, and it will be clear To learn we only had one choice To choose hope over fear. It may have looked like we were divided And that our democracy was in danger But in a few days, we will show we are still united Who bet on our experiment laid the best wager. The people are the ones who understood it best Not our institutions or those leaders untrue They are the reason we will pass this test ...

She Walks in Sunshine  She walks where sunshine must bow And from her radiance this world lives  And from her beauty all else does grow  For from her essence its purpose gives.  Where she sings the songbirds follow Where she sighs the wind exhales  So the songs her melody will borrow  And even a tempest in her wake pales. When the stars point their way she is already there Her light is what they enviously copy For in her aspect their grandeur laid bare  And the light shared wit...

I am forgetting you, even though you live in the sun’s shade And the moon’s glow, I still am letting you go And with each passing day your memories fade Soon the last leave and your love no longer know. Though I see you in my dreams you are still fleeting  For in the morning not lying in my bed So, the new day comes but not with your greeting And awake in a lonely room, instead. And through each day I see many faces but do not see you Soon I will not expect yours, in all its beauty,...

When My Love Appear No lines can express what a heart can feel Though they can try their best to do For on this page futile to convey what is real For no words can take the place of you. And poor substitutes for the love you gave They must let imagination take your place Never enough, here, for your memory to save But only its outlines can trace. I see a Rose and appreciate its beauty For I know too well, soon, it will be lost Like those times you were next to me And then lonel...

When Paradise Real  Paradise is not what I expected it to be I am still lonely with all this beauty around  For the one I love I cannot, again, see A true paradise only with you can be found.  I don’t know how long I can stay here I am only reminded of what I miss Paradise was only where you once did appear Staying here, something is still amiss. When together, it didn’t matter how harsh the weather  How dark or cold was each day We found warmth in being together  And this chas...

My True Love Bring  We think we know about life but know nothing at all In one swift moment everything can be taken away And once you thought you were whole how quickly you fall For nothing here was ever meant to stay. And what we thought was valuable worthless turns out to be And what was truly precious too soon from its loss learn  In one swift moment this truth will see And then only for redemption can yearn.  And I would trade all the world’s riches for what I lost  But the l...

e is All You Need I been beat down by society, but I refuse to give in I have been an outcast but do not care anymore Though it looks like the system will still win It will only prove that goodness abhor. Because my crime is, I do not subscribe to convention My path is my own to tread And I must follow my own direction And let my actions decide where it has led. And though not accepted, I prefer my free will The rest to some dogma or cause may believe But I will let my spirit wi...

Better Angel  I saw this woman and to her spirit did succumb  She made me believe that my heart was good And whatever problems I could still overcome  Because the goodness of my heart understood.  Now I hear that she is troubled by her own strife And this for one so sweet cannot be Not for one that showed me purpose in life  Now I am the one that her goodness can see. We are far apart, distance is in our way And maybe our paths will no longer meet But I know a woman from such be...
