Souls intertwined
From the very first time
I heard your voice,
I knew you were mine
Connected by chains
That won’t break away
Regardless of what life
Has laid in our way
Heavy hearts
Worlds apart
Still so close
I can’t let go
I’m under your spell
Weaved in a web
Of your heart and mine
From the very first time
Eyes have not seen
Lips never kissed
Yet bruised by these chains
That won’t go away
You’re a part of me now
Deep in my soul
Bound by your love
I’ll never let go
Dead inside but still alive
Thrashing through life’s angry tides
Sorrow, scorn, remorse, and trials
Wondering if things will ever be right
The winds of change
Have come to dance
To fill your heart with joy
And pure romance
Grieving for what once was the past
Singing the blues
Yearning for a second chance
Yesterday is gone
Like a feather in the wind
Desire crumbles
Like the day well spent
Like a bow and arrow,
Your life has been
Pulled and stretched
Then tossed to the wind
Sailing forward
Straight ahead
To the mark, that was planted
By unseen hands
The winds of change
Have left your bruised
Overturning regret
For all things new
Hope still floats
Hope still lives
It keeps us alive
And pays the bills Continue reading Hope Still Floats
Procrastination and blah
Running hand in hand
Like best friends on a Sunday night
Dread without determination
How do I get out
Of this rut, I’m in?
Seemingly swallowing my time
Motivation has gone by the wayside
Overwhelmed by nothing at all
Depression creeping in
If I close my eyes I can ignore it all
Making it disappear time and again
Delaying the inevitable
Dawdling my life away
Waiting for some miracle
That will never come my way
Feeling humdrum and unresponsive
To life’s daily routines
Unfeeling and uncaring
As monotonous as it seems
The thief of time has come to steal
My joy and waste the day
A dark cloud has covered me
With discouragement and dismay
Hoppy Easter to my lovies
Colored eggs and Easter bunnies
Creepy pictures on a rabbit’s lap
Cadbury Eggs…what the heck is in the middle of that?
Putting on your Sunday best
Time for one of the two days to go to church
The heck with the rest?
The Passion play and recommitments
Hoping that this time, we’ll keep them.
Plastic grass tangled in the vacuum
Too many deviled eggs…
Guess who’s living in the bathroom
What happens when the kids get older
No messy tables from dying eggs
No egg hunts and baskets
The house seems colder
Till later when the grandkids arrive
Easter will once again come alive
Two worlds, two lives, two souls collide
Bringing together the land and tide
Meeting on life’s rocky shores
Grace abound and love is born
From the first, we both knew
This love would grow and I’d marry you
Through ups and downs and inside out,
Our souls combine free of doubt
Outer darkness tried to come in
With diligence, we were determined to win
The music plays, the flower fades
We refused to let love slip away
With tears in the night
My heart in your hand
Our love renewed
Through a fight to the end
Eternity is not very long
Compared to my love for you
That keeps growing strong
When past loves and lives fade away
Into the darkness where they will stay
A light will shine and our eyes behold
The reason and season
For where we are now
Entangled in love
That was finally found
Candles burning at both ends
The stress and anxiety never end
Fights and feuds
Staying up all night
Never sleeping or eating right
What good is this life, you say?
I never thought it would be this way
Reality hits and things go wrong
Making weak what once was strong
The tears I’ve cried for all the years
Can never return what I once held dear
Our love was pure
Our love was deep
It still could be,
But you sow and reap
Please turn around and see the truth
This disease is killing you
Intelligence will get you nowhere
Without wisdom its all a nightmare
You’ve turned into someone I do not know
This isn’t the way it was supposed to go
Somewhere deep inside is YOU
Find him before your face turns blue
While there is breath
There is hope
But once it’s gone
That’s the end of the rope.
You lost in love
You lost in life
You lost your mind
And paid the price
The things you do for selfish gain
Are slowly driving you insane
Your heart is stone
You’re immature
Swallowing your pride
Could be the cure
You’re so blind
You cannot see
This precious gift
In front of me
Too late now
You’ll never know
The love, The laughter
Of Raising a soul
You ruined it all
But who’s to blame?
You and You alone
What a shame.
Life goes on
We live we learn
And thank God for
The bridges burned
I can’t breathe.
My life hangs in the balance
Slowly dying
Tormented.
My soul is in deep despair
Conflict raging everywhere
My hands and feet and heart are numb
For what once was our love has become
A love that started out just right
Has drifted away just like the night
My heart can’t take it anymore
You compromised
So I’m walking out the door
One thing can turn this all around
Joy in the morning can still be found
One thing I ask in return
Give me your all and let our passion burn
I won’t give in to second place
It’s all or nothing at this stage
I’ve stayed, I’ve cried, I’ve lost myself
In a world of dysfunction
I won’t be found
I beg and plea for an escape
But my love for you has me in chains
So here I lay, slowly dying
Tormented, outraged
My broken soul crying
My love for you is a strange love
As strange as the weather in Texas
As long as the nights in the winter
As sweet as the tea in my mason jar cup
My love for you is deep
Deeper than the deepest ocean
Higher than the clouds and the moon and the sun
As long as the equator
My love for you is frightening
Scaring myself into silence
Alarming the depths of my heart in the night
Terrifying my soul completely
My love for you is unending
Ceaseless even in the darkest days
Infinite regardless of test and trials
Eternal in all of its ways
