WITHOUT YOU

 

Without you

I am empty

I miss you

When you’re not with me

 

Without you

I’m incomplete

But when we’re together

I am Replete

 

Without you

I am tragic

But together

We can do magic

TREASURE BEYOND PRICE

 

If you find love

Treasure it

Don’t be a fool

And waste it

Bottle it and keep it safe

Make it last forever

When you find love

Never let it go

LIKE THE WINTER TREES

 

Like the winter trees

Left stripped bare

By the autumn gales

Such is our marriage

Our love was once that leafy canopy

Which sheltered and nurtured

But it slowly changes in hue

Then it dried up and blew away

On the winds of change

Until our love was no more

OUR LOVE WAS GONE

 

Like the cherry blossom

That once adorned the trees

Our love bloomed

But that was before the spring rain fell

And the winds blew in

Scattering what once was beauty

And with each petal torn from the bough

A bitter tear was shed

As each piece was carried on the wind

A word of accusation followed

And when the last petal was set free

Then our love was gone

WOUNDED HEART

 

It was love at first sight

It’s crazy but it’s true

You are the one

So, I set my cap at you

 

But for a reason I couldn’t tell

You withdrew inside your shell

 

Getting close to you

Is like stalking a deer

You run away

If I get too near

 

Who has hurt you so much?

That you flinch at my touch

 

I try to get closer

I see a chink of light

Then you slam the door

And take flight

 

Who has caused you such harm?

That you draw back in alarm

 

Let me unlock your heart

With my loving key

I will protect you

Let me close and you will see

 

I am not the man who harmed you

The love I feel for you is true

 

When I get too close

You turn away

You run for your life

But I’ll try another day

 

Please don’t lock yourself away

I will keep the hurt at bay

 

Don’t let him win

Don’t be beaten by the fear

Don’t run away to safety

Like a startled deer

 

Let me help you to love again

Let me show you love without pain

I will be patient in my love

I will wait if that’s alright

And give you time to heal

Then bring you out into the light

OUR LOVE IS

 

Like the last leaves of autumn

Scattered to the four winds

Our love is drifting away

 

Like a desert river

Long run dry

Our love is desiccated

 

Like the winter landscape

Stark and bare

Our love is Barron

I HAVE LOST MY HEART

 

I have lost my heart

And you are now its keeper

With each moment that passes

My love for you grows deeper

 

Will you treasure my heart?

Are you worthy of its keeping?

Or will this infatuation

End with my heart weeping
