The single woman's prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Please don't send me no more creeps.
Please just send me one good man,
One without a wedding band.
One good man who's sweet as pie,
Who brushed his teeth and doesn't lie.
Who dresses neat and doesn't smell,
And act like he's the man from hell.
Man, if I should die before I wake,
That would truly take the cake;
No matrimony or honeymoon,
No fancy reception planned for June.
No throwing of the wedding bouquet,
Please, God, don't let me go out that way. If I die before I meet Mr. Right,
I won't go out without a fight.
But then again with my luck,
He'd probably be just some schmuck.
The single life is not that bad,
I know it's just a passing fad.
I won't be blue. I will not frown.
Besides, I like my toilet seat down.
No more makeup, won't comb my hair,
So never mind this stupid prayer.
The single life will do just fine.
So what's up, girlfriend?
IT'S PARTY TIME

In time
Boundless hearts unbroken
Our hearts do heal with time,
Feeling lonesome in the stillness
Echoing softly with each chime.
When hearts are torn and tattered
We want to stay away,
So that when we fall in love again
It will be a better day.
Those closest sometimes don't understand But sometimes they know all to well,
They no that the times not right for love So they keep their feelings in this shell.
The time of mending can last a while
It leaves time to cherish friends,
For happiness comes from not only love
But as much, from friendship in the end.

Friendship
Whispering winds of change
Herald the coming of the storms,
Mine eyes keeping close watch
Staring off into the dark clouds that surround me.
The waters beating against my body
The rain like teardrops of long buried pain, Slivers of light breaking through to bring strength Strength born of friendship.
Strength to stand against the storms of life Taking me by the hand and lending comfort, Sheltering arms showing me the way
Filling the emptiness inside.
Loyal to the end of time our true friends There to keep the storms at bay,
Bringing warmth into our lives
Shedding light of love upon us all.

Break away
Unto the night I soar
On darkened wings of ash,
To seek a peace unspoken
Unto the darkness, in a flash.
Consumed by thoughts unheard of
Tearing me apart,
Of hope and tender things
Things better hidden, deep within my heart.
Callous words I've spoken
In vain I seek true peace,
Unattainable some would tell me
Sometimes I wish my longing for love would cease.
Fond of someone special
But seeing it could never be,
I've fought against my emotions
Pushed her away from me.
She's scared of the way I make her feel
She lets that fear pull her away,
Now I leave her world
Its time to break away.

At her side
In my darkest hour
On wings of tender love,
I found a radiant beauty
Like an angel from above.
Our paths crossed one fateful night
Drawn to her by what, I cannot say,
To a place that she called home
To her waiting arms in which I'll stay.
Her heart captured mine so quickly
As if it were meant to be,
At this moment all I see is her
In her dreams will she see me?
I care deeply for this radiant lady
She brings a smile to my face,
Where her life leads her I will follow
For at her side, that is my place.

You're always in my heart
The stars are shining bright tonight
The moon is rising still,
The air is crisp and clean tonight
Blessed with winter's chill
The heaven's shine in your eyes
They sparkle when you smile,
The darkness seems to comfort my heart in time But only for awhile
I long all day to see your face
To feel you in my arms,
To keep you safe and warm with me
Against all this world's harms
You're in my thoughts and in my dreams
We're never far apart,
As long as we stay true to care
You're always in my heart

To live or simply exist
The hours chime in rhythm
To me the minutes seem like days
Why does it seem like darkness swirls within me? I'm seemingly in fog of my own emotions
They crash upon my heart with every moment Pounding rational thought away
These waves of lone confusion tear at me They tear away parts of reality and replace them with fantasy
They do this so much, it seems
Reality and fantasy blurr to become one
Blurr in an awesome storm
To create this life I live
So much more than a man
But not so much a human
Seeming to exist outside humanities boundaries In and of myself
I see things oft in my dreams that torture me See a love that I cannot grasp
A wholeness that evades me
Evades the very fabric of my existance
I would give anything to feel whole
Climb any mountain, swim any river
Just to feel the love my heart holds
Just live life with love

'Til the sun loses light
In The depth of my heart,
There's a mysterious chill,
Like a cool winters night,
With nothing to fill.
My life is a farce,
My existance unknown,
Voices call to me,
When I'm all alone.
Is a shell all I am,
All empty and hollow,
These voices I hear,
Like the song of a swallow.
I hear them calling,
Both day and at night,
They call to my soul,
"Break free and take flight".
Should I go to them now,
Should I go to them ever,
Should I go to them later,
Or just go to them never.
My mind is a place,
Of some light and some dark,
Its really not either,
Thats not near to the mark.
The chill that I feel,
Is none other than fear,
The feeling is still,
It is already here.
One day it may pass,
And then it may not,
It comes and it goes,
As quick as a thought.
In the end I may lose,
If....I don't fight,
I will battle the darkness,
Till the sun loses light.

The stars are shining
All along lifes road I've travelled
To find the one and make her mine,
To find the love I've felt inside me
A love, like the stars that shine
I'll keep this one in my heart always
Never fade from her life ever,
Make her see how much I care
Make her see, my love's forever
Show her kindness, what's in my heart
Show her love, she's never felt before,
Make her eyes sparkle, while the stars are shining Share our hearts and souls forever more.
