SIMPLE THINGS MEANT SO MUCH

Free Image Hosting

                     

Cotton candy, ice cream, lollipops,

School, homework, big raindrops,

Simple things meant so much,

Friends I wish I'd kept in touch,

Busy, chores, laundry, dishes,

I remember childhood wishes,

Time eludes us, spend it wisely,

Grown now, things to do, way too sizely,

Cotton candy, lollipops, big raindrops,

To dream of youth time never stops.

                            CAN'T LOOK BACK

Free Image Hosting
   

Walking along the shore leaving prints in the sand

There's nobody to walk with or to even hold her hand

She left everyone behind her, she knows it isn't right

She needs space to think, her wings have taken flight

Love, it still eludes her, she just can't find it anywhere

She won't look back behind her, love was never there

Hangs her head in sorrow, and seeks to find the light

She can't go back there ever,  her wings have taken flight

                            CALL ME HOME

Dark and scared she hides her tears,

Bats and darkness mount her fears

Will she know the place called home

Tired body,  her thoughts will roam

She knows it's in this world someplace

Where home calls to  her saddened face

                          A DAY IN THE PARK

My love and I walk hand in hand,

no destination we have planned.

The park we see calls out out names,

come here, it says let's play some games.

We walk upon the fresh green grass

children laughing we soon pass.

I look at him, he looks at me,

we race to climb an old oak tree.

Such fun it brings of memories past,

when we were young, but life went fast.

We're older now and not as limber,

we giggle as we both remember.

We played here once as little ones,

frisbees, see-saw, little squirt guns.

Down we climb the old oak tree,

we laugh and smile my love and me.

Our thoughts our own, we hold them dear,

when we were young in yesteryear.

                              EMOTIONALLY

Free Image Hosting
        

Emotions... we feel so many deep in our soul,

Live,  laugh,  learn,  hunger for a life's goal,

Emotions... love,   loneliness, longing for truth,

Memories,  sadness,  missing our youth,

Strength,  weakness,  aching for love,

Wishing on stars,  watching the full moon above

Emotions... a look from a lover,  hearts so afire

Passion,  empathy,  hate and desire

Emotions... feeling alive,  longing to be free,

Wanting acceptance,  by just being me.

                              BIRTH OF A PLANET

Free Image Hosting
       

Nurturing and protecting the world in her womb is her life

She is a woman of nature's hand,  she is everybody's wife

She is Mother Nature,  with the whole planet to protect

All she wants from us is just a little kindness and respect

Such a beautiful precious gift she has growing for us all

The world is her gift,  to the mighty,  the weak and small

Protect it like sweet Mother Nature is doing for all of you

A beautiful baby.. the earth,  big,  bright and blue

                           BEHIND TIME

Free Image Hosting
   

Time is  behind her now,  cutting  her no slack

She is just a child inside,  trying never to look back

Things she waited patient for,  and never to receive

People and the ways of life,  practice to deceive

Time is her captor,  it has her bound and tied

Wondering why way back when.. everyone had lied.

She is walking swift.. to get away from her riddled past

Her only good memories..time will never let them last

                             BRAVING THE INNER STORM

Free Image Hosting
  

A storm is breaking off in the distance

She waits for it to come.. to bare her witness.

She was left to brave the storm alone,

Wishing she could just go home..

Home.. it seems so far away  now that she is all alone,

No body to blame it just happened.. she only longs for home...

Braving bittersweet turmoil.. she remembers all the faces,

She remembers all of the places.. that go along with home

                            THE WALL

A wall around my heart, built so high,

For reasons I'll never answer why.

To keep pain in or keep it out,

I don't know, that's in doubt.

I know the wall has finally crumbled,

As it fell many times I stumbled.

I cannot build it up again, my friend,

A vicious cycle has found an end.
