LOVE WASHED OVER ME

 

Love washed over me

Liken to the lapping waves

On a lonely beach

JOYFUL DAYS

 

Gone is that joyful day

When we stood before God

Humble in his presence

And we were joined as one

Everything ahead of us

 

Gone are those joyful days

Full of love and laughter

Days of tender moments

And heady nights of passion

Everything ahead of us

 

Gone are those joyful days

When we walked the shoreline

Sunlight glinting on the water

Walking hand in hand

Happy and carefree,

Everything ahead of us

 

Gone are those joyful days

When God blessed our union

Delivering joy into our lives

As our little family grew

And we had everything we desired

 

Gone are those joyful days

When your smile lit up my life

And filled my heart with love

Before it was broken in two

And you were still here with us

 

Gone are the joyful days

Since you have gone before me

And you are now at Gods side

So I will miss you until the day

When God reunites us

 

I look forward to that joyful day

When we stand again together

But though my heart is broken

I must delay our reunion

Because our children need me

And I must love them double now

UNDERMINED

 

Our love, once sturdy

Strong as granite rock

Standing against the storm

Has been eroded

By elements of distrust

Unspoken discontents,

And bitter jealousies

Corrodes like acid

As doubts and suspicions

Grow like cancers

Until they become terminal

Silent killers of love

I PRAYED FOR A LOVE # 2

 

I prayed for a love

A prayer for someone true

Are you the answer? 

I PRAYED FOR A LOVE # 1

 

I prayed for a love

A prayer to loves goddess

You were the answer

ASYMMETRICAL LOVE

 

Why do you hold back?

Why can’t you go all the way?

“I love you” those are the words

That I want to hear you say

 

Don’t be half hearted

I need you one hundred percent

I don’t want you to be unsure

I want you to be content

 

You have to be sure and,

Content as I am in my choice

But you are, not are you?

I can hear it in your voice

 

You don’t feel the same as I

I don’t make your pulse race

Or your heart skip a beat

I’m right; I see it on your face

 

Love isn’t a one-way street

It has to flow both ways

But it isn’t flowing to me

Not even on the best of days

 

Then it’s over and done

I won’t have half measures

It has to be all or nothing

Not just the pleasures

 

I need to be “the one”

I won’t be your second best

I won’t invest my love

With no prospect of interest

 

It’s sad when love ends

And a couple have to part

But I only feel regret that

I never reached your heart

MY SAD WOUNDED HEART

 

My sad wounded heart

Bleeds for the lost of our love

Since we have parted
