For Raymond
Topic: Love
When I was just a little girl
I used to lay awake in bed
Asking the angels for perfection
And praying they heard what I said

I wanted to find the single rose
amongst the garden of thorns
Someone to whom I'd give my heart
Cherish, honour and adore

I wanted peace within my soul
someone i could unconditionally trust
But along the way i found myself
Repeatedly burnt by lust

All my life i searched for something
I could never find
unsure of what it looked like
I saw it only in my mind

I found some thorns along the way
although i kept on trying
My heart was like a wilting rose
each petal slowly dying

I began to think I'd never find
what i was searching for
Each flower i picked along the way
Just left me wanting more

In sorrow I left the garden of love
and gave up my lonely quest
and placed my faith in fate again
that it would serve me best

But the little girl's prayer inside me remained
a part of me hopeful still
that it would eventually find this rose
Before my heart did wilt

So one night not so long ago
I asked the angel's grace
I have room for only one in my heart
who will take its place?

She answered with a breath of wind
instantaneously she flew
straight through my window, took my hand
and led me then to you

Now at night i lay in bed
and thank that angel fair
She placed you in my heart and head
and today you remain there

I know not what it is about you
that holds me tight within its grasp
I only know I'm drawn to you
and hope this feeling lasts

Never in my life have i
met such a perfect soul
and since our sunblessed meeting
my fragile heart has remained whole

I walk again now in the garden
but no longer searching by the moon
I have found my single rose in you
Perfect in its bloom.


Baby - this says it all. You are what I prayed for, my heart is yours. You continue to inspire me day after day. I love you.

Time
Topic: Miscellaneous
Time.

They say it is everything.

It heals all wounds.

Yet it is time, that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.

And that, is a wound in itself.

One More Night
Topic: Love
Is this a dream?
If it is, please dont wake me
I just want one more night with you
Please dont leave me in the shadows again
I'm not sure I'm strong enough
to climb free of the darkness
I'd rather embrace this eternal slumber with you
Just one more night.



Thoughts on Nath.

Remedy
She fell into your arms and surrendered
she did what i couldn't do
I didn't want this to be all there is
I thought we were more than that

Tell me if she touches you the way i used to touch you
And tell me if she kisses you the way i used to kiss you
Can you smell her on your skin long after she leaves you
If you tell her the same lies do you trust that she believes you

Does she know the way you look at me still?

She surrenders to you but gives to you too easy
And I'm left sitting in the darkness while she touches you
Wishing you could feel me
Remembering the feeling when we were real
And you would look and really see me

And if these feelings here are set to fade
and all we have are a memory
I'll hold them tight and not let go
visions of you, my remedy.

Venus
Topic: Life
Venus is screaming in the sky tonight
amongst stars that shine and sparkle
Like dew in the morning light
I can hear the sun smiling
as it rises over darkened lands
Where stories are waiting to unfold
In lands now drenched in morning gold

Simplicity
Topic: Miscellaneous


In the midst of the intricacies
abounds a simple pleasure
that of being drawn
with unexplained methodology
to the other.

In the midst of a glance
abounds a moment
where one is connected
with unexplained simplicity
to the other.

Simple touch
Simple pleasures
Simplicity.

Challenge
Topic: Inspirational
It's true life doesn't get easier with age
Sometimes a challenge it presents
And walking uphill is always slower
than running down descents.

It can be tough to find exactly how
to reach your destination
And sometimes we just need to rest
in quiet contemplation.

But know that when the dusk comes
Its always followed by a dawn
And you should walk your own path
regardless of other's scorn.

Pursue your passions, live your dreams
don't lose your capacity to love
Never forget to take notice
of the miracles you witness from above.

And remember your friends are always there
whenever you feel alone
We lend you strength when you find none
In our hearts, you have a home.


Written for Dru.

The Veil
Topic: Love


You reach out to touch me
but i remain a thousand thoughts away
lost in a void of circumstance
and a memory of a better time
You were once there
but now you seem so far away
When all you want is to reach me
you try, yet i remain
a thousand thoughts away
I'm trying to sift my way through
I'm trying to give myself to you
but memories hold me back
I dont mean to keep myself shrouded
But the veil, it remains
and i am a thousand thoughts away.

On Bended Knee
Topic: Love
On Bended Knee

It hurts to admit that i love you
so i keep it locked inside
If only you knew just how many
tears for you I've cried

To reach for your heart is to clutch at straws
you keep it locked away
Sometimes i think i catch a peek
inside the words you say

Its in the way you look at me
and stare into my eyes
Something about the way you move
keeps me mesmerised

I want to let go and tell you the truth
that my heart is yours to take
But I'm scared that you will run away
faster than it will break

We have a bond i can't explain
I'd hate to let you go
Still i cant work up the courage
to open up and tell you so

I wish you'd let me love you
I'd never do you wrong
I'd never lie or hurt you
I'd love you my life long

Sometimes you say things to me
that fill me with confusion
Do you feel something in your heart
or is it an illusion?

Do you know inside yourself
just how you really feel?
Am i imagining things within your eyes
or seeing something real?

Sometimes at night i lay awake
and yearn for your touch
sometimes i want to run away
it all just seems too much

If i could hold you in my arms
I'd surely not let go
I'd hold you there til you released
the barrier between us, so

we could let go and be as one
and quit playing all these games
when will you admit to me
that you are feeling the same?

I guess firstly, you must
admit it to yourself
Dont you make the mistake
of putting my love on a shelf

Lets not wait til the water runs dry
you said it to me once
Now take the step and live those words
and act upon a hunch

Sometimes you feel so close to me
and others far away
at times we talk so open and easy
and others we struggle in what to say

I want to be honest and tell you
the way i really feel
that you have the key to my heart
and for you, alone, I'm real

I want to take a risk on you
and forget about the cost
I want you to accept my love
before that love is lost

How do i find the words
my feelings to convey?
How do i be honest with you
without scaring you away?

So patiently, i wait for you
to offer your heart to me
Til then, I pray to the angels
and wait, on bended knee.

Visions
Topic: Love
Visions, fragile,
that once danced....
Swept away on the breeze
by a few words,
too easily spoken...

Fragments of a mind tormented
rest easy on the sunset
Preparing to twirl through the dusk
the calm before the storm

Visions, smashed,
that once danced....
now resting upon the grass
by a heart,
too easily broken....
