I stand alone
Yet among friends
I stand alone
In the sight of family
Hear the music?
Come ahead
Make me turn my head
Come join me
Stand beside me
Stand to my left
Become me
Let me become you
Hear the words?
Go ahead
Make me turn my head
Come join me
We stand together
Before our friends
We stand together
In the sight of family
Hear the music?
Hear the song?
Let’s sing along
Come join me
We stand together
Alone no more
Joined as one
Before our God
The wondrous beauty
Of your pale white
skin,
That seductive
landscape
Pure as exotic silk
Fresh as winter snow
And as cold as your
heart
For so long you have been my friend
But you've grown
nearer to my heart,
And now I want our
friendship to end
And the longed for
love affair to start
You were joyful, everything was fine
You were content,
sitting on cloud nine
Then things sharply
turned
And you ended up
getting burned
You took your eye off
the ball
And took your
devastating fall
You thought as life
was good for you
That everything was
for me too
I know that for you it
was for life
But I’m not content to
be your wife
I need more
The door to my heart
Is always open to
loves light
My essence is a
rainbow
A spectrum of bright
hues
But if you can only
see
In shades of
monochrome
The door to my heart
Remains closed to you
Once inside my heart
You’ll find it bleak
and stark
For love has been
defeated
And sits lonely in the
dark
No colours exist here
Only shades of grey
But if you can endure
You could show me the
way
And lead me from the
dark
And back into the day
Eternal love?
Love that lasts
Forever more
Not this side
Of heavens door
That was my opinion
Well heretofore
Then I met you
And now I’m not so
sure
You must be devoted,
Kind and true
Willing to give of
yourself
If all this you can do
Then without
reservation
I will love you
Accept me please
Accept all of me
Every flaw and blemish
Every quirk and foible
For if love is as you
say
Truly unconditional
You should accept me
as I am
My life runs fast away
Like sand in an
hourglass,
And with each grain of
sand
Goes a moment in of my
lifetime
Each moment is an
empty one
Not spent with you
The moments are fast
running out
As the grains of sand
move on
And still I wait to
meet you
Hedonistic thrill seekers
Adrenalin junkies
One and all
Cannot surpass the
thrill
You get from love
When you completely
fall
And for pure danger
Nothing is more
injurious
More painful to befit
Than when you’ve
succumbed
And you are in love
And you then fall out
of it
My heart is so full of love
Yet my words alone
can't say,
They simply fail to
express
What I wish to convey
I am just like an
infant
Mumbling the snips and
bytes
Of unformed language
To incoherently recite
I am like a foreign
visitor
Trying to translate
into English
Trying to formulate
phrases
Instead translating
into gibberish
My heart is so full of
love
So why can I not just
say
That I love you
darling
Why is it so hard to
convey
For everything that you are
And for everything
that you do
For all of this and so
much more
With all my heart I
thank you
For every little thing about you
Every way you’ve
showed you cared
For all the happy
laughter
And all the happy
times we’ve shared
For always being there
And being the
essential part of my life
For just being with me
And for agreeing to
become my wife
I'd like to give you the special key
That unlocks my
forbidding heart
But I must be sure you
are the one
I must know that
before we start
Or the secret of the
golden key
I would be unable to
impart
Let me surround you
Like a benign spirit
Comforting and
protecting
Let me envelope you
like a cloak of love
Wrapping you in a
goose down quilt
To warm your soul from
winters grip
Let me nourish and
nurture
And blow gently on the
embers of love
In your sad and lonely
heart
I want to stir the slumber
Of your lonesome heart
And shine a loving
light
Into the corners of
the dark
All I can do is stand and stare
At the Auburn headed
maiden fair
The girl with the
shinning brown hair
Oh beautiful maiden standing
there
With tresses of
reddish-brown hair
Please be the answer
to my prayer
She looks like the girl next door,
Well my interpretation
anyway,
And for me she
literally is
The girl next door
The studious Rebecca
Full of cleverness
The only child of the
Coopers
Now the studious
orphan Rebecca
The bookish girl next
door
A homely girl though
In the unpretentious
sense
Certainly not plain,
But rather understated
She is unworldly
In as much as the
temporal world
Holds no sway for her
Rebecca is an
attractive girl
Though not in any
obvious way
Dressed casually,
always
Mousy hair worn
indistinctly
She has never been
flash, quirky
Or groundbreaking
No its homespun
sweaters
And supermarket jeans
Not exactly the height
of fashion
But not dowdy nor
frumpy
Unlike most of the
world
I look beneath the
homespun
As I have all my life
But no one else sees
Rebecca
Alas she does not see
me
The bookish girl next
door
She has her heroes of
fiction
How could I compete?
With Ahab or
Hornblower
Copperfield or Darcy
My heart carries too many sorrows
Now my yesterday’s
outweigh my tomorrows
My spirits sit low in
the grey December light
My bones grow weary in
the night
I long for the spring
sun upon my face
Yet I know that can
never again be the case
I wait now in the
quiet of another night
In hopeful expectation
of the benevolent light
