Sea Of Love
The ebb and flow of the waves on a black sand beach
Inward, then outward the water flows.
Then occasionally and sudden crash of an angry tide
against the rocks on a moon lit beach
Is this the way love goes?
You say leave, then you lace up the strings
You seek to be free but then you
Tighten the cords and say to me
“no other woman”
What I am to think of all of this
when you roam for what prey you may devour?
What words will comfort my heart as I
try to except you for who you are?
How can I see the picture of what is not painted?
My perception is tainted as to what is real
so we flow as the sound of the shoreline does.
First here and then there
Softly before loud as hot becomes cold again
When does all this grow old?
The distance brings a time to reflect
How did we get here?
And is this really our story?
The sun rises on the dawn of a new day
And the tide is out now as I wonder
If the we that used to be has finally been
washed out into The Sea Of Love.
Everything But Your Heart
I remember when our roots were firm
And our foundation strong
Our bond was as a titanium cord
That held us firmly close
Leaving no room for even water to separate the divide
We were free to trust that
Even if there were moments of frivolity
Their would be no compromise of where was home.
There was freedom; there was trust, love and honor
But how things do change…
What surprises do bring as minds are affected
By outer influence.
A promise has no guarantee.
Then the divide and spurts of new beginnings
You were there and I here
Hours, days passed, and months turned into years
The crying game persisted and I could not hold back my tears
Once the love of my youth and now barely my friend
I have died a thousands times in the soul of my heart
And I no longer know you as I did before
And even when you afforded the time to
Construct an effort at a new beginning
After the wait and the anticipation of years in yearning
And even with the visible effort to connect once again
You bring everything but your heart
Private Message
A secret word to a distant love
Wrapped in a cloke of mystery
Presented in a shinny new package
Private message for my ladylove?
Truth be told, and perhaps a fantasy
Words of knowledge seep through printed lines
A string of flirtatious intentions and a tell of past desire
How may I be of service?
A masquerade of hidden love removed from its hiding place
Hurtful truths that help explain that love no longer lives here
No one to blame or hold a grudge
Just a reminder that love is not always fair
and so I relinquish the chase again…
The whistle blows and the bell rings
The fight is now over…
Because when love dies
one must except that there’s no power in man to revive it.
Thus one last flirtatious rendezvous, sent as a secret word
To my distant love, wrapped in a cloke of mystery
In a private message
If Only I Had Mattered
If only you had taken time to look in my eyes.
If only you had the desire to rekindle smothering flame.
If only the tears could have washed away the pain
Would this have made a difference?
If only truth had been a center stone
Placed at the head of a broken promise
Butterfly paper with notes of endearment
Where is MY valentine?
A broken heart takes time to mend
Total mind requires a heart of tender yearning
And through the pain I see the darkness
But If Only I had Mattered
To look for cracks in a wind blown glass
The imperfections though they may last
Are only a part of a small equation
If Only I Had Mattered
In the bigger picture that we call life
We reach for familiar ground to find balance
The questions are ambiguous the answers unclear
But If Only I had Mattered
If only I had mattered, would your lips form the words
I LOVE YOU?
In my solitude I await her arrival
Anticipating the loveliness of her tender kiss
My heart longing for the connection
that will love away all unsavory flavors of past misconnections and tattered love
Not the flavor of the week, but the true essence
of my heart and the sweet aroma of my joy
I await her arrival knowing not from which direction she will appear
Patiently I stay and trust that she will come to me
as does the morning sun on a mid-summer day
and the coming of blossoms after an April rain
She is the Champion Of My Heart
Though imperfect and not without flaw
she accepts me as I am and celebrates my strengths
overlooking my imperfections,
perfect for one another within God’s Grace
Perhaps new fire or even a rekindled flame
I dare not guess but remain open to the
belief that she will arrive at the
perfect hour on her own terms at the appointed moment.
In my solitude I await her arrival…
The Champion Of My Heart
The Sun Now Shines Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you Even though we are no longer One You will never appreciate what you had in me, Placing more value in what appears as gold However, all that glitters ain’t gold a wise person once said Perhaps in time you will know this to be true You took what we achieved for granted and devalued my worth And when I was hurt most and crying out in pain You, the one I loved, mocked me and turned away But I still remained steadfast and connected to you It didn’t seem to matter, all we had been through My heart was yours but you tossed it aside Replacing it with a cheap knock-off of what appeared to be real But despite the rejection and the endless hours of pain The Sun Now shines Although I may miss you and my heart still throbs I understand with deeper wisdom that I deserve more.. than an arrogant self-appeasing partner who is in touch mostly with their own needs, taking more than giving. This is NOT what I was taught on how to find joy “Give and it shall be given unto you” Those are the words I will hold close to MY heart To fill the void that was left. In spite of all the lack of glory as it may appear The Sun Now shines Though I may live with pain And sometimes self doubt It all comes clear when my prayers are in route To the one I can count on to bring real joy And so… The Sun now Shines… The Lovely Sun, Now Shines…
acceptance
       I try to live again, to make my own way To find myself and discover my way Through the pain of her absence Though she is so close but so far away I reach for her to feel her touch but her spirit seems to elude me So I walk the line and stand my ground as I grow into acceptance I am me and I am not we Just as she is she, and not we There is no WE as there used to be or as I thought there was Just an opportunity to love in a new way Friends and lovers or just friends? I did not read the rulebook Or does it even exist? Who can tell me right from wrong? Why is it that we stay connected and remain so distant? No one seems to have all the answers So I conclude that the textbook is never written and the story is never told We just live for the moment and learn as we go I try to live again, to make my own way To find myself and discover my way I walk the line and stand my ground as I grow into acceptance As I grow….as I grow……

LOVE so true so dear without threat or fear so subtle and tender yet srong and firm unrelentlessly supportive of my thoughts, my feelings a gentle word to carry me through when the world has beat me down and then a breeze against my face ...a kiss, a soft embrace to remind me ...that when all is said and done when the world has turned away You are there and I am here forever strong, without threat or fear so dear...so true......IN LOVE.
Out on the town on another weeknight
Much too late, should of been in bed by eight
Sleepless, laughing
When is enough play too much?
Another dance as the party rises
Is this the girl of my dreams?
Where are you going? Up so late...
"A quick run, I'll be back shortly"
Hours passing by...Tick... Tock... Tick
Oh, back huh? ...You're HERE?
Strange thing...you act so differently.
Can you relax just for a minute?
The drink is poured in a backlit glass
As candles glow on the balcony
A puff of smoke into the night air
One without the other was kind of rare
I stand near her. The one I adore
As she stares into the mist
With her Martini, Cigarette.
Promised she’d never leave
After we made our vows
Then the scent of a woman…
FLASH
Sudden change, overnight obsession.
Quick, fast and in a hurry
You seem so preoccupied of late.
HELLO….. I’ve been standing right here
Have you even noticed?
Another martini and all night out,
a flame to the cigarette
all week gone
Where have you been hiding, did you even try to call?
Printed words of endearment tucked away so snugly.
Another windblown flower kissed by the sun
until preserved for future recollections
Why are you indifferent these days?
Why am I to be treated so cruelly?
A silent observation for all of 3 seconds
And off again to never never land
where reality has no place.
Where a giving heart can’t show it’s face
It is only me, the one you loved
The room lights dim as does the flame of her heart
Why let the fool in your heart tear us apart?
No more fight left, only the tears
Of a broken heart unable to find
A way back to trust
A last request for a cocktail or two
Two glasses on the bar
And then a walk to the balcony
For a Martini, Cigarette
