Secret Get Away

Now it looks like a cold lonely place.

Oh how I long to see your face.

Come near to me my dear.

I don’t ever want to instill any fear.

Holding your hand is something I miss.

I distinctly remember our long good night kiss.

This bench was our secret get away.

The tranquility was one reason to stay.

Our emotions for each other couldn’t be measured.

The memories are most definitely treasured.

The blanket of snow may melt

but nothing can take away what we felt.

Deep spiritual love is graced upon so few.

Why does everything remind me of you?

Dancing Tulips

The tulips are dancing in the cool summer breeze.

Would you hold me and dance with me please.

The photographs of us are like a slideshow on the screen.

We dance in my mind like we were teens.

We have matured just like the tulips have bloomed.

Our like minded thoughts are perfectly in tune.

Our eyes meet and they dance with laughter

as we remember all of the love that remains after.

We get older as each tulip petal falls to the ground.

It doesn’t even make a sound.

We are like the tulips in the fall of their life.

I am so gracious to be called your wife.

As the last petal falls to the ground

I’ll say I love you and I’m so glad you’ve been around.

Baby Swing Those Hips

She’s walking down the street.

I would kiss her feet.

Look my way

cause I’d beg you to stay.

Oh darlin give me a chance.

Our love making would be enhanced.

Let me run my fingers through your hair.

I would do it cause I care.

Baby swing those hips.

I want to kiss those luscious lips.

Please don’t break my heart

cause I’d fall apart.

What color of roses do you like

cause I’ll send then tonight.

I’ll always remember your name.

It’s forever burned in my brain.

You might think this poem is lame

or that I am compeletely insane

But I had to tell you how I felt

cause it’s the card I was dealt.

Oh how you make my heart melt.

Preachers Son

Preachers son do you know what you’ve done

just because I didn’t give in to your desires sexually?

I was a believer in goodness and God.

You took it all away with the letter I got.

You said you found someone who met your needs.

What happened to all of your beliefs?

Why did you have to make mine crash in defeat?

Preachers son do you know what you’ve done

just because I didn’t give in to your desires sexually?

I was a believer in goodness and God.

You took it all away with the letter I got.

I went to the mirror and put my make-up on.

When I was done it was a stranger I was looking upon.

I dressed like a siren in heat all because I couldn’t accept defeat.

I let go of God’s hand and the devil took his chance to use my pain and despair.

He chose what I would wear.

The Child Inside Of Me

The child inside of me still wants to be free of the fence surrounding me.

The fence is so high I want to fly to my home in the sky

where I’ll be free of the emotional pain encompassing me.

There was no love at this place called an orphanage.

They didn’t care very much.

I was withdrawing within building a wall to protect myself

from the emotional pain I’m going to sit on a shelf.

I can dust it off and start with a clean slate starting on this date.

Only time will tell what emotions are sunken deep in the well.

My heart feels like a black hole instead of having a soul

searching for the warmth of the sun to lighten the load

leading to a better traveled road.

Stay With Me

Come inside and keep me warm in the fading dawn.

When I walk through the horizon I am standing beside him.

We are slow dancing on a cloud.

I never felt so proud.

You are the one that I love

and I’m not afraid to say it out loud.

Don’t leave me when the sun goes down.

We are forever bound.

I want to keep you around

now that you’ve been found.

Stay with me, stay, stay, stay with me.

Don’t ever leave.

I won’t ever be able to sleep

if you don’t stay with me.

I don’t know how I got through

the loneliness I endured.

Don’t leave me when the sun goes down.

We are forever bound.

I want to keep you around

now that you’ve been found.

I hope you feel the same way about me

because if you don’t I will have to plead.

Stay with me, stay, stay, stay with me.

Don’t ever leave.

I won’t ever be able to sleep

if you don’t stay with me.

Stay with me, stay, stay, stay with me.

How Are You

I want to change my name,

want to move far away,

and want to leave all my troubles behind.

It’s depression.

Can’t you read all of the signs?

My constant companion,

can’t you leave me alone this time?

The pills don’t work at all.

Just hand out masks that wear a fake smile.

Don’t ask how are you

because I just might tell you the truth.

I feel like dying.

What’s the point in crying?

I don’t want to keep trying.

What’s the point in lying?

If you don’t want to know the truth

don’t ask me how are you.

Just kick yourself in the head.

Just let me lay in my bed.

My head keeps spinning.

Vertigo stop me spinning.

I keep hanging on to the walls

afraid I’m going to fall.

If you don’t want to know the truth

don’t ask me how are you.

Just kick yourself in the head.

Just let me lay in my bed.

How are you?

Let It Go

You’re out to hurt me for hurting you.

That was so long ago.

Why can’t you let it go?

I’ve told you I’m sorry.

Can’t we just go on living without the pain?

What do you want?

Do you want me slain in the midnight rain?

If you do I’ll take another train.

Let me off at the next stop.

Take me away from the piercing rain.

There’s a rainbow just out of my reach.

I’ll just sit here for a while

and reach deep down inside for a smile.

You’re silence hurts me

more than any words can say.

The deafening silence makes my head hurt

24 hours a day.

There isn’t a pain pill for the words you don’t say.

All I can do is pray.

You’re out to hurt me for hurting you.

That was so long ago.

Why can’t you just let it go?
