To the Father of My future Children…

To the Father of My future Children…

Since I know you don’t exist

Can I compliment your hair?

Can I say your eyes are beautiful?

Or that they sparkle in the sun?

I feel I know your laughter

The way it touches my soul

When the wind blows a certain way

It feels like your breath on my neck

And since it doesn’t matter

I’ll say I love your lips

The way they touch mine gently

Then whisper I love you

Often

A Midnight Wish

A Midnight Wish

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

Haunted eyes that burn so bright

Pray that good times never fade

I feel I am measured and weighed

Should my soul be heavy or light?

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

The sun is so bright there is no sign of shade

No color at all, only white

Pray that good times never fade

A seeming then, A home that’s made

A happy family, feeling so right

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

When the time comes to end the charade

Will it be easy to give up the fight?

Pray that good times never fade

So I’ll not be moved or swayed

To my true feelings I’ll hold tight

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

Pray that good times never fade

What Men Really Want...

What Men Really Want…

Why must men insist and say

Care not for dress, throw wiles away

Who put it about, who heard it said

A man cares for the looks inside our heads?

But do they mean it, what they say?

Or is it an attempt to gain our bed?

They try to stay two steps ahead

Why must men persist and say…

A loving wife they wish to wed

To laugh and smile all the day

Intelligence should fill their head

Care not for dress, throw wiles away

It’s enough to make a girl see red

To find the original protégée.

Who thought enough to think of a way?

Who put it about, who made it said?

A girl is beautiful for skills she conveys

Not bosoms big, shining hair or lips of red

When that is true, I’ll seize the day

When a man cares for the looks inside our heads!

Lies

Lies

Do promises made at midnight

Mean nothing in the light of day?

Did you not swear by look and by deed?

I believed you when you said

You would be faithful

Was it all lies?

The moonlight was so beautiful

It cast a spell over us

Made me a romantic

Took me for a fool

I think we need to take time

To reassess this relationship

Maybe we were never meant to be

Love means...

Love means …

Knowing all your secrets

Reaching out and never doubting

That a hand will be there

That feeling in the pit of your stomach

Is only from nerves,

Never your love

Love is as steady as

The ground beneath my feet

The first flush of lust

Grows into a beautiful rose of romance

Constant as the North Star

A shelter in any storm

Our love will hold fast

Together we can conquer the world

Descant

Descant

A counterpoint in harmony

A rhythm of the heart

You can’t pair a bass with a soprano

Or a contralto with a tenor

The harmonies must match

Then soar together to new heights

So too must souls match

Their jagged edges must meet

They fit together perfectly

But sometimes what is needed

Is a descant

That perfect little melody

That runs overtop of the song

Turns it inside out

But makes it so much better

Changes it all around

But the combination

Is beautiful

Growth

Eyes hid in shadow
Invoking fear and longing
Glancing from side to side
Evading another's glance
Trapped and afraid,
It seems to be pitiful
Like a beautiful Lion
Trapped in a cage
Be wary of what you seek here
Sight is not always your friend
What once was a helpless puppy
Suddenly outgrow it's Den
