BACK IN TIME

The Poet — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:53:15 +0000

BACK IN TIME

We were young when true love came our way

Not knowing what it was, we let it slip away

Had I known that your love could not be replaced

Oh, I would have held on and never let you walk away

But, if I had three wishes

I’d wish them all that you could be mine

Oh, how I wish I could go back

Go back in time and push rewind

Just to be with you

I came across an old letter just the other day

As I slowly opened it, I knew what it would say

With each word lifted, I knew you still had my heart

I am still in love and I know that isn’t smart

But, if I had three wishes

I’d wish them all that you could be mine

Oh, how I wish I could go back

Go back in time and push rewind

Just to be with you

I went to visit your mother

Hoping she would mention your name

By the twinkle in my eye, she knew my feelings hadn’t changed

Even though time has passed and you have moved on

Deep down inside, I know with you I belong

But, if I had three wishes

I’d wish them all that you could be mine

Oh, how I wish I could go back

Go back in time and push rewind

Just to be with you

We were young when true love came our way

Not knowing what it was, we let it slip away

Had I known that your love could not be replaced

Oh, I would have held on and never let you walk away

But if I ……..

Until we meet again, may the winds of life blow towards your dreams

REACH FOR ME

The Poet — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:49:47 +0000

REACH FOR ME

When my world has been turned upside down

And my feet are no longer on solid ground

I may go on for some time, pretending everything is fine

But one day I won’t be able to

And that’s when I’ll turn and ask

Can I hold you, because I need to be held

By someone who loves me, by someone who cares

All you have to do is just reach for me

And pull me close and whisper those words that means the most

Like, I love you and that you are so proud of me

Your words means everything, because your heart beats just for me

So can I hold you, because I need to be held

By someone who loves me, by someone who cares

Until we meet again, may the winds of life blow towards your dreams

MY PROPHECY

The Poet — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 21:44:34 +0000

MY PROPHECY

Once upon a time

In a far away land, there lived a couple

They were forty years away

They started on their journey

On a day much like today

With love ones in attendance

Much love filled their hearts

The couple united that day until death do us part

With loved ones looking on

And not a dry eye in sight

The couple stepped into all of eternity

To follow their light

They met forgiveness

Along with give and take

They learned how to sacrifice

To make each other’s day

When the world turned cold

They kept each other warm

They had one set of foot prints

As they travelled along

The couple faced many storms

When one was weak the other held on

Because that’s what love does

It never lets go

It sees you at your weakest

And loves you all the more

The road the couple travelled was long and winding

Some roads were steep and others they had to climb

But no matter the task or however long the day

The couple knew that with love they could face anything

There’s a couple in the distance

And they are forty years away

They started their journey

On a day much like today

Until we meet again, may the winds of life blow towards your dreams

LOST

The Poet — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:00:05 +0000

LOST

I use to be a man that worked the land

And I had everything that I needed

Until one day I was told a dream

My life became depleted

For chasing another man’s wealth

I lost myself

And now he must feed me

Boy what a dream!

Until we meet again, may the winds of life blow towards your dreams

A YOUNG VIOLINIST

The first Saturday in June, I ran into Michael a seventeen year old playing his violin on River Street. It is good seeing a young man doing something constructive and doing something that he truly loves.

ONCE

The Poet — Tue, 29 May 2012 12:01:12 +0000

Once
I once found love, but I couldn’t give it back.
The kind of love that a romantic dreams of, imagine that.
A special love where dreams come true,
Yes one in a million, they are few.
A love that fights and stands and stretches to you,
no reason not to accept it or you will lose.
The only love I’ve ever found like that
was a love that I couldn’t give back.
Imagine something so awesome standing in front of you,
wanting to show that their love is true.
You cannot choose love or how it comes to be,
love chooses you and hopes you will see.
I was privilege to find a love so rare,
not realizing the gift, I did not care.
The only love that I ever found like that
was a love that I couldn’t give back.

Until we meet again, may the winds of life blow towards your dreams

FEMININITY

The Poet — Fri, 25 May 2012 12:01:00 +0000

Femininity
I see you standing there with your femininity everywhere
I’m loving you because it’s so rare
To see a woman that is complete
Smart, confident, soft, and oh so sweet
The qualities you possess this world really needs
Your femininity brings life to its knees
Don’t ever lose touch with your feminine side
Your femininity keeps the world in stride
When life has shaken us from our place
Your femininity puts us back in our space
I appreciate you and all that you do
Your femininity makes me tell the truth
I’ve seen many beautiful things, but I am in awe
Your femininity makes me see stars
I lack nothing when you are around
Your femininity keeps me astounded
So I thank you for love, understanding, and all that chemistry
But I thank you most for your femininity
Don’t ever lose touch with your feminine side
Your femininity is what keeps the world in stride.

Until we meet again, may the winds of life blow towards your dreams

NO TIME FOR LOVE

The Poet — Tue, 22 May 2012 12:01:49 +0000

No Time for Love
For so very long I wanted you to build me up in some kind of way
I wanted you to say something heartfelt that would make my day
With each conversation I would just hang there hoping you would say
Something your heart felt, something you never said
Over the years I’ve tried to be content
But the desire to share with someone on a deeper level
never went away
I don’t know your deepest secrets nor do you know mine
I was hoping our love would stand the test of time
It appears that trust was not there so we couldn’t open up
So we kept the things that meant so much on the inside of us
When I think about the time and the opportunities we had
I can only conclude that we were helpless and it makes me sad
We were never free and it’s a shame
We know each other but only in name
What held us back? I could never figure that out
Was it the ups and downs of the relationship
that created the doubts?
I realized that we never spoke into each other’s lives
The words of assurance that everything would be alright
So we went on living with so many voids
So many holes so many stories untold
To be honest I don’t ever see that changing
The depth I need in our conversations
I looked for answers everywhere, even above
The answer that I received, there was no time for love

Until we meet again, may the winds of life blow towards your dreams
