If kisses were the water I would give you the sea, if hugs were the leaves I would give you a tree, but if love was time, I would give you eternity.
Life is mostly froth and bubble.
Two things stand like stone:
Kindness in another's trouble,
courage in your own.
Once upon a time, it happened to me,
the very sweetest thing, that could even be.
It was a fantasy, a dream come true,
it was the day I saw you.
One Hope Present
Flesh that parts quiet along the knife blade
Lyrics that resonate, ring alive, fade.
Spirals of chlorophyll cover, defy.
While I am living, this hope cannot die.
Edges of pain that has shrieked in my mind
Trembling despair nearly batters me blind.
Things left behind are more precious than breath.
While I can speak, I will not yield to death.
Watching the light for a chance of reprieve
It will all funnel to what I believe.
Time will bring healing, with scars it must give.
While I am dreaming, my dream will still live.
No thesaurus can give you those words, no rhyming dictionary. They must happen out of you.
Dorothy Fields
I may have faith to make mountains fall,
but if I lack love then I'm nothing at all.
I can give away everything I posses,
but without love then I have no happiness.
I could fill a 1000 pages,
telling you how I felt
and still you wouldn't understand,
So now I leave without a sound
except my heart shattering
as it hits the ground.
When I'm rhyming it's all in my head... Like the slaves, when they were picking cotton, they would block out their minds. They would sing.
A house is made of bricks and beams,
a home is made of love and dreams.
I saught my soul
But my soul I could not see.
I sought my God
But my God eluded me.
I saught my brother
And I found all three.
Womens faults are many,
Men have only two.....
Everything the say,
and everything they do!!!!"A part of you has grown in me,
together forever we shall be, never apart,
maybe in distance, but not in heart.
Role Reversal
(Emily Dickinson)
She watches me through slitted eyes
Though not yet filled with hate
But venom that--she cannot know--
I've given out of late.
It's happening all over, and
This time it really clicks
And now I know the other pole
Of feeling--on the stick
If kisses were the water I would give you the sea, if hugs were the leaves I would give you a tree, but if love was time, I would give you eternity.
I may have faith to make mountains fall,
