and that is how Have you ever seen the morning snow fall prey to the afternoon sun ? That is how my heart melted today when you looked at me and smiled . Have you ever had an ice cream cone around mid day in late august ? That is how my heart melted today when I heard you say my name. Have you ever used a cube of ice just one , to cool your fresh brewed tea ? That is how my heart melted today when I held you in my arms.

I Wear a Smile Silently I sit alone as her eyes sparkle so . Hidding , behind a false tone that she will never know . Though I am happy for her that she has found the one , beauty is with another , to share the rising sun . Does this mean I am a fake I have to think a while . For me I feel a heartache , for her I wear a smile .

Forever Life had only just begun, though twice, I had gone around the sun. Yet , forever bound we would be. A full grown woman ... bound to me. Mom ... I'm sure that was her name , and breaking hearts was her game. The woman I depended on, so suddenly , had packed , and gone. Let's move forward , in my life. I took a girl to be my wife. We swore , in front of God , Forever. Yes , we would alwals be together. The key word there was girl you see. Alot to learn , a world to see, and no matter how hard I tried , another man , would be her guide. Even though , some call it sin, I looked , and fell in love again . So young again ,but I was I was sure , experience , made her mature. Now once again , I had a plan, but again , there came another man. " Daddy " , my girl calls he, and I . Grin on his face , tear in my eye. Remember this , if we should start , and know these words are from my heart. " Forever ", not the word to say . Tell me that you love me TODAY. I know , the word said , you believe, and never wanted to decieve. But , know you now , that I have cried. The word " Forever" has always lied.

Alone Another night , sitting , waiting , wanting desperately to feel a touch . No not a sinful touch , a simple one. An embrace can mean so very much . Sure , I sit tonight( by choice) alone. Feeling a touch of simple pleasure done at any time , for any reason seems to me like a minor treasure . Yet I know that in a loving grasp lies a promise , the goal , eternity . Though , forever , in a lovers arms right now seems like pure fantasy.

When the Sun No Longer Shines I couldn't see a problem , 'till you came by yesterday, And I can't tell you how it hurts , to look at you that way. You came to me , with opal eyes, the starlight , at your feet. The signs tell of a meeting with the chemist , in the street. What will you tell yourself, if we never see the signs ? Did you ever wonder where you'll be when the sun , no longer shines ?

I Wear a Smile Silently I sit alone as her eyes sparkle so . Hidding , behind a false tone that she will never know . Though I am happy for her that she has found the one , beauty is with another , to share the rising sun . Does this mean I am a fake I have to think a while . For me I feel a heartache , for her I wear a smile .

Just for a moment Just for a moment , Put yourself in the war of the blue and the gray. Balls of molded lead passing within hearing distance of that stubborn skull of yours. Wondering the identity of the asassin be he cousin , or no. Just for a moment , picture the world. See the chaos of a battle of all. A maniac wanting all power, Putting a species through hell for their physical appearance. Though just a man on a sphere , in the vastness of space. Just for a moment, See the streets of the city. Fear in the eye of all passing by, accepting the punks around each corner who live by mere extortion. Trading currency for powdered death , Throwing pain from a speeding car, and life , from the urban nights . Just for a moment , see the victims faces. Full of peace of mind knowing that wherever they will go Must be better than the existing violence on the rock they call home. Just for a moment, the pain was all but obvious. Although flesh is not eternal, suffering may be. It may start at any time , but may not end when you hang your head , and cry.

I was that child A family , torn apart at the seams with none to turn to , no escape . One , states away , and one beyond leaving none to tend the herd at home . A child , wondering if love is there though the innocence in his eyes could not yet speak those fears. I was that child , the fears forgotten. A family , seeing three sons in need Reach out to provide a home to them . All of their hearts going their way as if , from the start , they were their own . A child , seeing the good in some and knowing it could be found went home ,and missed the tears . I was that child , your tears , I see. A family of three , siblings through trial all life has to offer at a young age thrown at them , with its surroundings,to tear them apart from the start. Yet they had a will to succeed , to stay together , whatever should fall .and today hold a union unscathed . That child was me , the union , strong .

To Much To Ask As our eyes meet looking longingly , deeply into each others soul , seeing the secrets neither of us share with the world , is it to much to ask to know you like that ? as our lips meet desperate , passionate , tasting our lives , sensing in ourselves the heartfelt joy that comes with a kiss is it to much to ask to know you like that ? As our hearts meet racing in unison feeling our worlds as they connect knowing that now is the time to join. Is it to much to ask to know you like that ?

The Tree Along a road , on our river trail , sits a solitary tree. Standing through blizzard , and summer heat . Because , Standing , is all he knows . Occasionally , a weary traveler will pause in his shade, admire his twisted , massive arms , lean upon him for support though , somehow , does not take time to notice, he is alone , standing away from the others . He takes his nourishment from nature . In the spring , he drinks heavily from the shower that bathes him . . And melting snow , in the winter supplies a deep , hearty , if not cold meal . Not relying on the hills , nor the comfort of others like him to ease the winds of march . He stands to offer shelter , But knows none of his own .
