An Unstoppable Force

It is the ache of my heart,

that pushes me to start,

on an uncharted path,

that will unleash its wrath,

a wind that rolls through,

with a mighty force of truth,

no secrets to keep,

we both take a huge leap,

two souls stripped bare,

take heed world and beware,

Irreparably Broken

My heart is irreparably broken,
Since the day you rose above,
I strive to keep it open,
To recieve all your love,

Love that lives in the air of spring,
In each and every budding flower,
In all the memories that it brings,
Embraced by its immense power,

Never Ending Love

The skies are grey,

Crying rivers of tears,

Raindrops at play,

Lovely sound in my ears.

 

Your presence remains,

Felt each and every day,

Coursing through my veins,

In every single way.

When We Stood Still (A Tribute to 9/11)

A swoosh, a crash, screams, horrors, and ash,

Reducing the heart of a nation to garbage and trash,

Many lives lost on a clear blue sunny day,

A world stood in shock, awe, and could not look away.

 

A strong emotion of hate,

That drove many to their fate,

Is this really the price we all pay,

When love does not light the way?

 

Differences cause a crumbling fear,

That keeps our hearts from getting clear,

Loosing sight of the greatest possession,

A life unlived without expression.

 

Priceless is the sacrifice,

Of the man that gives his life,

For the stranger calling out,

Without sight in total doubt.

 

Let us never forget,

The day we held our breath,

When we stood still,

And never lost our will.

Time Ticks Away

As the minutes tick by,

The tears shed subside,

Your voice trails off,

Wings take you above,

 

The hours continue,

Pushing hope through,

Finding no rest,

A bird with no nest,

Through the Clouds

Through the clouds I fly,

Life laughs in my ear,

As the wind howls softly by,

I wonder if I was ever really here.

 

My heart beats slow,

Memories pass through my eyes,

Softening the harsh blow,

Oh how I wish it was all lies.

I Am Not There

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn’s rain.

As One

There is no remorse, no guilt, no shame,

because real love is what remains.

You can now see,

what truly was meant to be.

 

Embrace and enjoy it for what it is,

be not afraid of the joy it gives.

Take what is rightfully yours,

and open all the closed doors.

The Rest That Comes

What has it meant,
to live a life in such torment?
To agonize over what is lost,
has had a pricey cost.

What part of him is in me,
that I cannot set free,
he is gone forever,
I face a new endeavor.

The Beauty Within

An angel came to me,

like honey attracts the bee,

delivering a message from her,

my mind became an utter blur.

 

She says I will never be alone,

if I give away all that I have known,

sit upon this golden throne,

it is for you that I built it to atone.
