I will face my fears
Come what may
I will slay each demon
Appearing each day
I will be brave, I will be strong
I will sing the victor’s song!
I will go forth once night is done
And look towards the shining sun
I will catch each ray upon my blade
My trust, my hope will never fade!
To God Be Glory and
Amen
I reach my hand to touch your face
And find your face not there
I long to trace your fingertips –
Your hands are nowhere near
I wish to look into your eyes
And meet your soul with mine
Your image haunts my every dream!
I want to shout and scream
Where are you, in this world?
All I have are thoughts
And sweet reminders of the times
We touched and loved and kissed
I hunger now for you, my love
The memories have to fill
That aching void that never goes
It stays with me through all.
We’ve lived a lifetime
You and I
Far above the highest star
Our lives have joined
And meshed and twined
We’ve grown and laughed
And dreamed and dined
Hold my hand oh draw me near
Be close by, forever, dear
I loved you then, I love you still
Our love will bind us, it always will.
All my life I wished for you
On every falling shooting star
Oh I wished and prayed and dreamt
That in my life you’d walk right in
Now here you are, it’s you and me
You have my heart right in your palm
I prayed for you I did and then
You entered in and here you are
My wish and prayer and dreams came true
My dreams came true because of you
I love that you love me
I love that you care
I love that you kiss me
I love that you dare
To hold me and touch me
Caress everywhere
My pain is a delicate globe, carefully held between my hands.
I will use it to channel energy, sharpen focus, and to change.
My sorrow is nudging me. Am I listening?
Speak! I am here, my eyes can see, my ears can hear. My soul can feel.
I hear you. I am not afraid.
Sadness open the way! Lead me and I will go.
I have no right to feel as black as I do
I have no right to see no light
When birds sing me awake
After a quiet night
I have no right.
Give me poetry when I start to drown
Into the abyss of my internal distress
Wrap me in words when rain soaks my
Humor until there is none left
Poetry!
My longing, my heartache, my desire
My loss
Be my water
Cleanse me from head to toe
I need you

No regrets
Since I leaned across
And whispered in your ear
No regrets
For every touch
And all falling tears
No regrets
For every word
That echoed thoughts of you
No regrets
For ever loving you
No regrets
If only this were true
