It’s wonderful

In the twilight of the evening
as I look in to your eyes,
I can see that love is burning
like the shining northern star

As I hold you in my arms
I can feel your trembling heart,
reaching deep inside me
helping me to love again.

It’s wonderful, holding you so close to me,
so beautiful, for all eternity.

My life with you I know that know is born again,
united still through all adversity.

If I’m with you I will be forever young,
though once was weak, I will be for ever strong.
Now I know, now I know where I belong
in an ever lasting lover’s song.

It’s wonderful, so wonderful

It’s wonderful holding you so close to me
so beautiful for all eternity.

It’s wonderful

Magic

When I woke up late that morning
I couldn’t believe my eyes
It was tragic
Without a word of warning
You decided to disappear
As if by magic
I’ve tried to dream you back to me
But I knew it would never be

All you had to do was wave your wand
And I would come running
But was your love an act?
I thought we had an unbreakable bond
How wrong I was
But I still want you back
I’ve cried a thousand tears about you
Because I can’t believe we’re through

Would I see you again if I said ‘Abracadabra?’
If I threw my heart and all my love at ya
Would you catch it?
You used to be real, now you’re my illusion
I fell for every trick that you were using
But you were magic

BLUE AND GREEN EYES

In depths of blue, a sapphire gleam,
Where oceans dance in sunlit dream.
A splash of green, an emerald spark,
A forest whispers in the dark.

Two worlds entwined, a mystic hue,
Where skies and seas forever woo.
A brushstroke soft, a teardrop’s trace,
A universe reflected in this space.

They hold the secrets of the dawn,
When light first kissed the world, newborn.
The wisdom whispered by the moon,
The shadows dancing in the noon.

Oh, eyes of blue and verdant green,
A tapestry where dreams convene.
I lose myself within your gaze,
In endless depths of emerald haze.

So let me wander, lost and free,
In galaxies that bloom in thee.
For in your eyes, my world is found,
A paradise on sacred ground.

I wish I could remember that first day

I wish I could remember that first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me,
If bright or dim the season, it might be
Summer or Winter for aught I can say;
So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand – Did one but know!

I’d Love You To Want Me

When I saw you standin’ there
I ’bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Somethin’ in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes

Baby
I’d love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be, mmm
Baby
You’d love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you’d only let it be

You told yourself years ago
You’d never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave

 

Your Heart Is Where Your Treasure Is

our Heart Is Where Your Treasure Is!

I thought that I could make it on my own.
Till that day when I lost my job and home.

There were things in life I took for granted.
Till that one day, when all was “unplanted.”

There were many things that I had enjoyed.
Till that one day, when it was all destroyed.

I cried and wept as I see it all disappear.
But something that I discovered became clear.

No matter how many times I sought pleasure.
Where my heart is, there is also my treasure.

The treasures I thought would bring fulfillment.
Never did they bring true joy and contentment!

I began to pray like I had never done before…
God was what I needed… I needed HIM more!

The love of God spoke to me, as I knelt down…
And soon, I felt HIS presence all around!

I lost everything in life, that I thought I needed!
But, through Jesus, my life is now completed!

Jesus brought a heavenly treasure that I never knew
He filled my emptiness, and made me “brand new!”

He came to where I was! I was empty within…
And gave me the victory to live life AGAIN!

The treasure in Christ brought healing to my mind!
I love him so much! He’s so gentle and kind!

The treasure in Christ, is a wonderful delight.
This eternal treasure… Can be yours TONIGHT!

 

Love’s Silence

To count the ways, I dare to comprehend
such finite love defined in written line,
for quantity shall never find an end
to love that lets infinity define.

A Summer’s day, to love shall not compare,
though shines to bathe your beauty in its light,
and as it wanes, waits breathlessly to share
the passion of a sultry Summer’s night.

To laureates and bards of metaphor,
each scribbled phrase, I bid them credit due,
but all their words and phrases heretofore
can ne’er describe this love I have for you.
When words fall short and poetry departs,
love’s silence fills the cockles of our hearts.

 

Goddess of the Night

 

What beauty reflected in love’s fair eyes,
a passion treasured beyond all measure.
As ardor stirred flames, I failed to disguise
the need in my loins ere want of pleasure.

As sweet the music I discern profound,
tis more honeyed your lips when touching mine.
Oh! My pained heart shall beckon love resound,
my moonstruck maiden, unearthly divine.

Mute, I cannot be, so near your soft breasts.
This besotted man has but scant more breath.
Grant me your pure love, not in mere request,
but with an angelic kiss ‘fore my death.

I beg thee allow the stars remain bright.
Give yourself to me ere the end of night.

Nothing Compares 2 U

 

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl you better have fun
No matter what you do
But he’s a fool
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try

EYES THAT TOLD

 

It was all in her eyes,

Eyes that showed the real her.

Through her eyes, you could see past those smiling lips.

Eyes that were loud, loud like pounding drums

Eyes that were colder than a winter night.

Minute by minute, you could learn more of her story,

All just by looking into her eyes.

 

Eyes of a black crow-

Eyes that made your heart beat like hail beating on your window

Her eyes always dancing with worry-back and forth.

The eyes of acceptance, yet eyes of rage.

The eyes of sadness-creeks of water pour.

Pour over mountainous folds of skin under her eyes

From sleepless nights.

 

Her sleeves on her blouse were wrinkled,

Perhaps from wiping her wet face.

You could see her whole world through her eyes.

I choose to keep looking.
