The Night

Crystals light the sky.
As we watch the moon rise.
Fireflies waft in and out.
Like the fog through the garden.

Take me dancing this night.
Laughing as the crickets sing.
Lost in our own world.
Far from sight and sound.

The moon lights our path.
She guides our every step.
Alone in our own fantasy.
Let us not forget this night.

Watch the waltz of night.
Mesmerized by the beauty.
Keep me smiling.
While you have me for this short time.

As I close my eyes.
Lead me through the dark.
As I hold your hand.
Let me trust you whole.

Two hearts beating as one.
Let the world pass us by.
Forget everything but the moment.
This moment will live forever.

Take the lead.
I will follow.
Take us on an adventure.
I’ll be right beside you.

No more clocks.
No way to tell us time.
We are here forever.
Forever needs none to tell time.

We are no longer separate entities.
Being merged as one.
Dancing only for ourselves.
We’ve been captured by the night.

Our Journey

Follow me through.
Follow me yet.
Follow me until we forget.

Hold my hand.
Hold me still.
Hold on till all is fulfilled.

Flying across the universe.
Flying until we reach the sand.
Flying as we go hand in hand.

Keep with the stream.
Keep while we’re awake.
Keep us well above the lake.

Take us on an adventure.
Take us through the hills.
Take us for fun and thrills.

Let me forget.
Let the sun warm me whole.
Let light shine to my very soul.

Open up my heart.
Open and find its hidden treasures.
Open with whatever measures.

I’ll share my secrets.
I’ll share my heart.
I’ll not let it fall apart.

Fall into the unknown.
Fall to me my beloved.
Fall and I’ll fall in love.

Heartbreak

Drowning, capsized and falling beneath.
Water filling my lungs.
Making it impossible to breath.
Sinking to the cold hard bottom.

Heartache, crushed yet feeling numb.
Unable to feel my surroundings.
Too hard to move on with life.
Cringing at every memory.

Screaming, sobbing at every dream.
Insomnia settling into nightly routine.
Skin white as snow.
Blue tints the corners around my eyes.

Breaking, crashing and ear splitting.
The sound of a heart that breaks.
Pain no longer a feeling.
Instead becoming a memory.

Staring, incognizant and immobile.
All through the day long.
Through the night nothing moves.
Shadows creep around not touching.

Silence, quietness making the loudest sound.
Words have been lost inside.
Beauty fading with the sun.
Light drowned in darkness.

Loving, laughing and joy gone.
Bitterness seems not far behind.
Hope of tomorrow not seen or heard.
Who is to save now?

The Battle

In the silence they keep the edge of sound.
In the dimness they work constantly.

Fighting to keep their right.
Never once do they back down.

Battles follow them unyielding.
Not to cease till the sun reaches the water.

Keep me hidden away.
Safe from the terrors that surround.

Light the way through the darkness.
Walk beside me so I do not feel alone.

Amongst the heaviest battle.
Flying immediately to my cry.

Wings beating faster then wind.
Beating wings bring them closer.

Shrills fill the air around.
Shadows fade off the ground.

Darkness settles around my feet.
The air becoming tense.

Feeling as though I have been touched.
Being drug into this unending battle.

Not my fight to fight.
Not my battle to win.

Tears prickle at the corners.
Terror rising like bile at the back of my throat.

Amidst these million thoughts.
You are there beside me.

In the midst of the strongest storm.
Peace finds its way through.

I can fight your fight.
I can win your battle.

Dash to pieces these terrors of the night.
Let us stand together forevermore.

Lullaby

Deep inside there chimes a song.
Listen long and you’ll drift away.
Far away to Musintopia.
Way above to lullaby’s and musings.

Hear the song of the lark.
How she sings you her song.
If you stay to listen long.
She’ll keep you mesmerized in beauty.

Gliding along two love birds sing.
They sing to the world their song.
Making your heart light as air.
Leaving behind all worries and cares.

Moving along like a swift.
Hearing in the distance song and dance.
Music dances on the wind.
Bringing it closer with every step.

Hear the song of the birds.
Hear the sound of the wind.
Listen long and you’ll hear love.
Through the voice of thy beloved.

Drifted away with sweet lullaby.
Lost in a land of paradise.
Thy lullaby keeps me safe.
Safe in your loving song.

You are my

You are in every breath I breathe.
Impossible to live on without you.

You are the birds in the newness of spring.
My heart feels light with your song.

You are in every dawning of the sun.
You bring joy to my every tomorrow.

You are in the soft caress of the wind.
Bringing me comfort when feeling lost.

You are the water around my feet.
Guiding my every step towards you.

You are in the warmth of the sun.
Warming me with your beautiful smile.

You are my every heart beat.
Leave me and life would stop.

You are the light when darkness surrounds me.
Chasing away every shadow and demon.

You are the heat of summer.
Burning me up from within.

You are the ripple of laughter.
That only you can bring out of me.

You are the sparkle of the first fallen snow.
Making me immobile from staring at you.

You are here to stay in my heart.
I am yours completely.

Worthy Woman

Our place is beneath our head.
Striving to be obedient.
Loving our master whole heartedly.
Tending to our families every need.

We work all through the day.
Through the night demands never cease.
Going about our every duty.
To keep up a cheerful heart.

Our tasks seem simple.
In the eyes of the ignorant.
Not seeing the sweat on our brow.
Being wiped away before seen.

To know the love a woman holds.
Flowing to those around her.
Training up her children.
To walk away well prepared.

We strive to serve our family.
Rising up early to prepare they’re way.
Speaking kind words to uplift.
A harsh word only for the disobedient.

Keeping up a well ran house.
Orderly to the very last child.
The reflection that comes from within.
Our hearts toward our provider.

A woman who can find.
Her value cannot be bought.
Who seeks righteous through all her actions.
Putting her creator above all.

Our hearts desire to give.
Like giving unto a king.
Grumblings are never to be heard.
Her every word speaks truth.
