MY FOREVER LOVE

I lay here in my darkness

I no longer see the light

The sun no longer shines for me

I've lost the will to fight

My soul it feels abandoned

My heart a mass of shards

I feel I have been cheated

In the dealing of life's cards

Inside my mind I wander

I dwell in reminisce

Watching still framed picture's

Of a past so filled with bliss

With the tenderest of moment's

When a flame burned deep inside

The sun did shine forever

In your heart I did abide

Existing now on memories

Unable to break free

From the pains of my mortality

Where once you stood with me

I search for long gone season's

The summer and the fall

The winter chill and snowflakes

The spring's rebirth and all

I pray to God and Angels

Without the slightest faith

My thoughts so filled with anger

Inside me grows such hate

For answers not forthcoming

No little voice does talk

Since your passing to the other side

It's all alone I walk

It's said that time's a healer

That things do turn around

And in this life of mystery

Love remains abound

But I miss you so my sweetheart

And all in life we shared

In my every waking moment

My soul I feel so bared

Then today I seen a butterfly

It's colours vibrant bright

Rekindled in the depths of me

That spark of hope, of light

And I looked up to the heaven's

That azure sky above

To speak these words my darling

You're my forever love

A WONDERFUL WORLD

I see the autumn colours

In the changing of the trees

I taste the air of freshness

In the cooling of the breeze

I wonder at how nature brings

Forth such graceful change

How she converts the old to new

In the beauty of her range

I awake to misty mornings

I watch the fog roll in

I listen to the silence of

All that's shrouded there within

And I inside the silence

My coffee cup in hand

Cheer old natures qualities

Far across the land

I stand along the riverbank

I hear a gnawing sound

A beaver builds itself a dam

What wonder I have found

A squirrel gathers chestnuts

A fox stalks out some prey

Oh the wonders of this season

As nature leads the way

NO SHADOWS OVERCAST

Let me be the warming wind

And light that makes stars glow

Let me be the greatest love

Your heart might ever know

Let me ease your pain away

Protect you from love's fears

Let me be the sunshine which

Makes rainbows from your tears

Walk with me to where I stray

Come now take my hand

Let me catch the dreams you hold

That I might understand

Tell me of the nightmares that

Plague your sleep at night

That I might take you in my arms

And hold you warm and tight

Bring me deep into your eye's

That I might see your soul

Show to me all deep inside

That I should find my role

Share with me the sorrows you

Have suffered from your past

That I might bring the happiness

No shadows overcast

Make love with me beneath moonlight

Whilst eternally we grow

Kiss me with the passion that

Your loving heart does know

Grant to me the one true wish

My everything you'll sate

If you whisper in your sweet soft voice

I am your one soul-mate
