If I hold my heart out
Will you take it, will you dare?
Will you take my heart
Within your hands
Will you hold my heart with care ?
Will you love me as I love
Will you never let me go
Will you walk beside me
Will you love me so?

Be Mine
Strands of Grey
It was only when I stopped for awhile
And allowed the color to drain from my hair
That I saw the beauty and wisdom
In each strand of grey.
Stillness
Sometimes
We need to set aside
Our desires, our wishes
Our wants, our strife
And simply be
Still
Taken
Taken
People come and people go
Some with notice and some say so
Others kiss you and walk away
Mothers hug you on their last day
I had a mother and then she was gone
Brutally left to fight on my own
Never again to hear her kind voice
Left with an emptiness, a certain black void
Moving along I live my own life
Free to be me, no one to advise
I heard her advice, in the time she was here
And now she is gone, I have nothing to hear
My dreams tell stories in a dark lonely night
The pain I carry, a never-ending fight
She left me, and never came back
I was left standing, gasping for air
The pain is buried, but somehow it’s there
In my daily life, my mistakes and torment
I will love, for that’s all that stands in the end.
No Right
A despicable you
Can never know
How much hurt
You’ve caused my soul
I will not share
I will not tell
You have no right
No right to me at all
Simple Desire
Everything I wanted
My every dream came true
I wanted but for nothing
Yet desired still for you
I simply didn’t care
Or closed my mind to know
How much better off I am
Without you in my life
A Rose
Vulnerable
I pretend to never care
That your silence overpowers
Me, a constant dull ache
I wish you knew
I wish you cared
I wish you’d love
Me, once again.
Vice
Nothing to live for
Nothing to gain
Your sweet pleasure
Drives me insane.
I cut you out
I push you away
There’s no resistance
Nothing to say.
Touch me once
Again touch me twice
Broken I crumble
Your kiss – my every vice.
