With All My Might

Why do I close my eyes
When your lips are pressed against mine?
Who am I afraid to see
When I know it's you kissing me?

Standing alone with you and my thoughts
Battling all my fears and wants.
Clinging to that which is good and right
Tightly gripping with all my might.

Stopping to take in some winter air
Wondering if this is all we can bare.
Wiping the tears from your desperate eyes
As if we have just said our last goodbyes.

No one knows the pain we're in
Unless they've traveled the places we have been.
Hitting the wall of love and war.
Batteling the demons of life and more.

What will we do to let this be?
A harmonious life of you and me.
Walking together with hand in hand.
Leaning on each other to help us stand.

The choice is there to set us free.
Life alone or you and me.
Not sure of what will come of this.
So just close your eyes and finish our kiss.

The Open Road

I was walking down the lonely road
Passing signs that read "You're not alone."
I turned around to look and see
But the only one I see is me.

I turned to walk awhile more.
Not knowing what lay ahead in store.
Hanging my head down low.
For I hadn't a desire to know.

Rain falling on the ground.
Was all the noise I had around.
Until I heard that sweet sound of your voice.
Guiding me onward as if I had no choice.

Why am I fearful of letting go?
I asked as I really want to know.
"Walk with me and you will see.
I will lead you to where you need to be."

"Go with faith and your head up high.
There will be times of sorrow and fright.
And although its a long and winding road
I promise you will never be alone."

Words of comfort most in need
Brought hope to my troubled heart indeed.
Breaking free of the cage I'm in.
Gaining strength from where I've been.

I walk down the open road
Obeying the signs of where to go.
And although I feel lost and unaware
I know I will most assuredly get there.

Kissing A Ghost Kissing A Fool

What a clod he must have been.
Seems to happen to him again and again.
Spinning his world around and around.
Getting beaten when he is down.

Love crept it's way back into his life.
It whistled and called and all seemed right.
He felt so alive. The air was clear.
He felt it always. Whether far or near.

Then the heart on his hand faded away.
And what took months to get was gone in a day.
Her laugh. Her smile. He will miss the most.
But all he was doing was kissing a ghost.

Her eyes are dry and burning red.
Angry about the lies she was once fed.
Swearing and cursing that she is alone.
Wondering if what she had is gone.

Love whispered through her window.
And It frightened her to know.
Doubt crept in. Wondered if it's right.
Trust crept out. That thief of the night.

And what she wanted was gone that way.
Wishing and praying it would always stay.
And those feelings to her were exciting and new.
But all she was doing was kissing a fool.

When The Clouds Cover The Moon

Do you elude me or are you just a myth?
All around I feel your presence.
Yet I am alone in the dark.
Questioning my own existence.

In the cold you scream my name.
Waiving your hands to break my stare.
Is it you that cannot speak?
Or is it I that cannot hear?

Softly you whisper to me.
And for a moment in time I died.
In that realm of peaceful tranquility
My heart opened to the light.

And the wind blew.
And the sea crashed.
And fire fell from the sky.
Nothing in life is ever the same.
When the clouds cover the moon.

Awakened to my vision of you.
Your heart already known.
Picking up the pieces of life.
Reaping what I have sown.

I wonder how it all can be.
This feeling deep inside.
My seemingly endless journey ends.
With you by my side.

Softly spoken to one another.
The little things we do and say
And the world will go merrily by
Fearing not the end of day.

And the wind blew.
And the sea crashed.
And fire fell from the sky.
Nothing in life is ever the same.
When the clouds cover the moon.

Together we go and together we come.
All is well or so I thought.
Perfect love without the light.
Shaken and stirred twas all for naught.

I awake to see my love was gone.
Lying alone and in the cold.
Whispering her name as I wander alone.
Dying to let my love unfold.

Wishing upon the stars at night.
Wanting an escape from my despair.
For in my dreams you are real to me.
Hoping to find you hidden there.

And the wind blew.
And the sea crashed.
And fire fell from the sky.
Nothing in life is ever the same.
When the clouds cover the moon.

Empty Still

Filling empty spaces
With empty things
Leaves them empty still.

You

You are beautiful. A jewel set in stone.
Glimmering eyes, like water at night.
Crooked smile when all is right.
Laughter that brings peace to the soul.

You are pure. Unblemished in the world.
Acceptance is all you have sought.
Helping hands, never of your own thought.
To many you know, a perfect pearl.

You are loving.
You are true.
You are unique.
No other like you.

You are gentle.
You are soft.
You are caring.
No one will ever scoff.

You are a reminder of happier things.
A shinning light in dark lit places.
You can see it in their faces.
You are music when others sing.

It's been tough but you have come through.
Always remember you are loved.
From earth below to the heavens above.
Never forgetting to just be you.

Soul Mate

There's a song that I sing.
Some say it's a beautiful thing.
Lyrics from my heart.
Music from my soul.
Wrapped together and never torn apart.

Do you understand me?
Are your eyes open to see?
Do we dance in time?
Stand close to my side.
Put your hand in mine.

I belong to you.
You belong to me.
You long to be with me.
I long to be with you.

You say what I think.
I hear what you speak.
Those magical moments.
Never in doubt.
Forever unspoken.

There's a song that you sing.
It is a beautiful thing.
Lyrics from your heart.
Music to my soul.
Wrapped together and never torn apart.
