Reverie

I wish to dream the day away
Lost in thought of yesterday
When tender lips caressed my skin
Drew me down and pulled me in

Those eyes that spoke of raw submission
Mind and body, requisition
Demanding hungers, unquenched thirst
Pounding hearts about to burst

Alas the ringing wakes my mind
I'm back at work and undefined
Within the crowd, just a face
A secret lust I can't erase

I bear the minutes, count the seconds
Through it all your memory beckons
Soon I'll race to be with you
Living what my daydream knew

Iridescent

I wrote this for a friend who is in a tight spot. She knows who she is when she reads this. All I want to say is, have faith, and believe in yourself. Before you start thinking about others, think a little about yourself too. And if you don't, then that is what friends are for!!

I see those rainbows forming,
Deep inside your eyes,
Hope is slowly breaking through,
Your spirit starts to rise.

The beauty in you, I first saw,
Now slowly comes alive,
I always knew you had the strength,
To stand tall and survive.

Cast those demons from your head,
Learn to love once more,
Not just others, but yourself,
Like you did before.

Many falter, many fail,
So many are misled,
Pain exists in every life,
If human, you have bled.

Only you can make the choice,
To see this journey out,
Joy and laughter play a part,
But so does hurt and doubt.

So glad to see those rainbows forming,
So nice to see you smile,
Remember it depends on you,
To make your life worthwhile.

Making Peace

Hand inside the honey jar
Face deep in the dirt
Hold onto what feeds the pain
Then wonder why you hurt

A million choices in the world
Could wash it all away
But bitterness has taken you
Where happy cannot stay

When all you see is what you've lost
You lose all you could gain
Life becomes an empty shell
Pride becomes your chain

Love becomes the enemy
Loneliness your friend
Seasons come and go with time
This life will surely end

Regrets will plague you until death
No freedom to bestow
Reconcile the emptiness
That comes with letting go
