"Destined Souls" Distant friend, so close at heart And cosmic worlds away... Someone especially dear to me, You bless me with joy each day. Nothing much to question, No reason not to dream, Life is full of beautiful things That are exactly as they seem. The glistening dew reminds me Of the new friend I've found in you, Coloring each other's thoughts daily We gently caress away the blue. Like the stars kiss the dark On a bright summer night We'll howl up at the moon As we hold each other tight. From the new doors that await us, To the common ground we share... Only destined souls are blessed With a friendship so kind and rare.

"The Forest Of My Mind" The creek that runs crystal clear Through the forest of my mind, Tries to help me disappear, So that the joker does not find. The waters kiss the rocks, As the rapids pick up speed. Crashing in my head, Dreams begin to bleed. Like a leaf I start to float, Further and further down stream. Where the joker is aloss, I escape in my dream. A fairytale land I come across, My dreamscape brought me here. For this is how I choose To drowned out my mortal fear. The joker never wins with me, I leave him stuck in reality. No way out for him to find In the forest of my mind.

"Prince Of Toads" I seem to attract some real strange ones, Not sure how that comes about, They seem like a prince in the beginning, But soon after, they make me want to shout. They aren't what they seem to be, And I find out a little too late. Did someone hang a sign that reads... "Only Toads May Enter This Gate"? Some could have passed the test, If only they'd had the guts to try. But they simply leave me thinking... "This is one toad of a guy!". Then I guess it was your turn, And I should have seen you coming... With your faux fur robe and jacked-up crown, I should have took off running! I'm not one to judge others normally, But you really took the cake. Do I look like a tasty mosquito Flying near a cool blue lake? I crown you "Prince Of Toads" And the title fits you well, Although I know it's not very becoming... Get over it, what the hell?

"Good Intensions" The voice is loud but unheard, Nobody ever hears a word. Wisdom comes at a high price, For it's the ignorant it aims to entice. To make things easier on those you love, You share your experiences, the ones you think of. To somehow hopefully lessen their pain, You have absolutely nothing to gain. Good intensions that go nowhere, Lost a midst the foggy air. Maybe I abuse my own heart, Or maybe I'm just too damn smart. I feel shattered inside at their loss, The knowledge they freely choose to toss. My words fall upon deaf ears, Failing to recognize my heart's fears. Don't ask my advise, it's too intense, Live your life at your own expense. Later in life you'll realize it's all true... I shared it all because I love you!

"Ocean Blue And Cuervo Gold" The perfect rose he had waiting was a soft, romantic yellow, The mood was like the color... relaxed and mellow. The margarita slightly tart and icy cold, The tequila was warm... Jose Cuervo Gold. The switch on the bright lights dimly fell, The steak grilled to perfection... "Medium Well". The eyes sparkled stars in the flickering flame, The lady's dreams would never again be the same. The two hearts' emotions so tried and now true, The night peaked a full moon so bubbly, ocean blue. The kisses were passionate, yet perfectly gentle, The touches guarded as pure and sentimental. The usual doubts never once whispered existence, The tequila again teased with a lime of salty persistence. The stimulating conversation was full of flirtatious smiles, The morning sun's happy rays crept up after awhile. The broken souls whole, bottle empty and it's five A.M., The inviting mental images of two entwined lovers sleeping in. The heartbeat of the other awakes them both at high noon, The coffee maker perks another bubbly, full moon.

"When I See You Smile" I live my life with no regrets, I gamble wisely on sure bets. I have no place, no face for shame, After all, this is my game. It's my life and I live it content, I have one God to which I repent. I quietly make cautious decisions, Little space for uninvited collisions. I live this life day by day, Kissing each treasure along the way. I teach, I learn, I work, I play, I always find time to pray. There are many more needier than I, I'm blessed even with the tears I cry. I cherish memories and photographs, Love, smiles and silly laughs. I love stars, rainbows, the moon and you, For understanding and loving me the way that you do. For holding my hand and staying by my side, You've made my life one heavenly ride. Fate has entwined our precious hearts, For an awesome love that's off the charts. The tragedies have all been so worth while... It's all so clear when I see you smile.

"The Wind" To recall a past life, A life when I was normal A life that was somewhat charming, A life when pain was informal. Blowing gently against my skin, Is the force of the wind. Awakening my youthful soul, As I chase the falling leaves again. Forgetting if for only a moment, What life is like for me now, A heart made up of sorrow, And the shattering pain somehow. To kiss each day the way I want to, With a peaceful, easy glow. And go to bed each night, Not feeling the pain I know. Yet the nightmares persist, In the most agonizing way, The hopelessness, and depression, Again, My life has been delayed. I desperately try to be patient, Time after time, year after year, I am running out of wind, For the cure is nowhere near.

"If Only Tonight" Staring into outerspace As I count the shimmering stars Imagining what you look like, And wondering where you are. I feel the breeze gently whisper "He's closer than you know. Don't wander too far in search, Love doesn't want you to go.". As the fire burns brighter, I slowly close my emerald eyes. Our hearts miles from one another, Yet near enough to almost synchronize. I refuse to give up hope, My heart speaks the words too clear That love will find us one day soon, And erase our cautions of fear. Dream with me if only tonight... Beneath the light of the starry sky. We'll passionately fall fast in love... As the shooting stars fly by.

"Lonely Hearts" Lonely hearts gather here Thirsty for someone especially dear. They're looking for their soul mate, Attempting one last chance at fate. Some will gracefully bow out Lay around and simply pout. Others will leave crying tonight, Not willing to put up the slightest fight. Lonely hearts are somewhat scared, They aren't fond of being dared. They often like to play the field, While tightly clinching to their sheild. If only they understood why And gave their heart time to fly, A true treasure they'd surely find So easy, pure and eternally devine. Two hearts broken and ripped apart, Pick up the pieces to make one heart. Lonely hearts then soon feel whole, Body, mind, spirit and soul.

My parents were married for over 62 years. I wrote this one when my Dad passed away last year only a year after he knew I was cancer free. I think he would approve. "Two Angels" I think I've found my purpose, The reason God let me live, The plan was a devine one, As it allows us both to give. He brought me home to you, And it's here that I will reside. Holding your hand in mine, My heart always by your side. He knew we were both alone, And needed each other so. He told me that I could choose, That I did not have to go. I think I've found the reason... That he chose you for me, As he saw two graceful angels, With broken wings, down on their knees. He straightened their golden halos, And then gently repaired their graceful wings, So they would have the strength together, To soar through life and all that it may bring. This major plan was well thought out, For he would trust no other... So that one day the young angel might be... Half as angellic as her mother.
