i only see you
in my dreams
walking around
like we belong
together, we walk
the city streets
hand in hand,
i steal a glance
your eyes filled
with love for this
town filled with
song and opportunity
she stole you from
my heart this place
and left me to pick
up all the parts
leaving just my heart
to feel you in the
pages of a book
the lines of the
latest poem i
write for you
eventually i must
start my life anew
with less than a
song, and more than
words to fill this ol’
heart
you came to me
in a dream, it was
one of those dreams
that wakes you with
a start, not knowing
if it could be real or
just the longing of
your heart for the
moment we met
if only we could start
anew, no lies or mistakes
maybe then we’d have
a chance at building
something real, something
more than this bitter
addiction to your
smile and the touch
of your hand on my
heart....
Sometimes all it takes is a smile really
to start ones heart on fire
when you can see the pain
crying out from within their soul
and you wonder what is it
really that one person can
do that can alter the path of
another, and greatly change
the heart within and yet we
know the power of words
and thoughts, and lies
that take little pieces of
our hearts and leave us
in need of repair
i could love you
if only you let me
i can be the woman
you need, the one
that makes you feel
complete
i can be the comfort
you come home to
the one who makes
sweet love on a sunday
afternoon. when the
sun is creeping below
the horizon, while we
lie, legs intertwined
i can love you for the
woman you are and
the woman your are
meant to become
broken pieces and
all, i could love you
if only you let me.
coming out of the darkness
i find you there, waiting for
me to realize my true potential
i can feel the change in me
altering my presence, making
me whole, again. it’s because
of you these changes exist,
but in spite of you i am free
to live my life alone and free
awakened to the senses. the
presence of love that was
lost among the silence, waits
at every turn. i can breathe
for the first time, and
the air tastes good,
and new full of life, i am
whole.
what a difference a day makes
it was just day three years ago
that changed my life’s course
a quick glance at the bar, a
simple hello, nice to meet you
and nothing would ever be the
same...i would never look at a
woman the same, i would never
feel the same for my husband
the end result would be the
constant longing for you in my
life. all it took was a day for me
to go from a life of comfort and
security to one of constant
question and pain and sadness
all the days leading up to you
and me and us the impossibility of
it all what a difference a day makes.
her voice sang
to my soul, my
heart burst with
every note. she
lay her head on
my chest, her skin
touching mine. and
i was home, finally
a place of warmth,
of peace. to feel all
at once, free and
alive for the first
time. it shook me
so i could barely
move, for fear it
would leave me
once again alone.
my love
the way i see you,
it’s the beauty in
your heart, the way
you share it with the
world. it’s your words
and how you live them.
it’s your song and how
you sing it. how it opens
up my heart, and mind.
the love you gave to me
how it healed my soul,
made me feel worthy
again and full of hope.
it’s how you listen to
my words and read
them into life, eternal.
it’s your exuberance,
a joy for living, a kind
of blind faith in life, that
keeps me coming back
to you. comparing all
others to what ultimately
will always be my love
for just you.
there’s an empty space
i feel it on my finger
where you placed my ring
i feel it at night
the ocean of space
in our bed where
you used to lay
it’s there in my heart
when i look at our kids
their searching eyes
asking what’s wrong
it’s wrong and its
right all at the same
time, these moments
of emptiness and pain
