In the stillness I can hear it all
The wind blows softly-
The cat sings loud.
And through this music
The human heart pounds.
Listen!
As the heart cries out.
Hear me, please, as I shout-
With my whisper and my tears.
I can see your hurt,
'Cause I feel it as well.
Listen!
And I open up my heart.
Oh the pain- it's overwhelming to me.
Her emotions hidden so deeply.
Like an underground river
Far below the surface of our humanity.
I listen
With disbelief.
Stricken by horrified shock, and disgust.
Holding you-
I can only say I care, I'll be there
I love you, my friend.
As I listen
My emotions wash over me for this special friend.
Could it be that she understands me?
How I wish it were not true this time
I'd give my life
To save you from this pain.
Listen!
You say it with your heart.
Care, love and help.
Once again I've heard
What no one else can hear
Because my heart is listening with tears.
The marriage of justice
Keeps rolling forward.
While innocence is offered
On the alter of ignorance-
And the guilty
Walk freely among us.
Children are broken,
And crying;
Yet we force them to go on
keeping their secrets in silence.
We've abandon the victims
As we close our eyes
Always hiding the sins
Of the wicked,
Afraid of the consequences
Of their actions
Yet unwilling to make them pay.
I sit alone
On a bench with a view
Of the world.
Life moves on
As it passes me by,
And I watch
As time turns me old and gray.
People pass me every day
Off to work or play.
I take it all in-
Only from a distance,
Unwilling to venture my heart.
Each day you pass as well,
You smile at me and wave.
But I, alone will stay,
In the safety of this place.
Watching, never joining-
Finding security in my solitude.
And as dawn has now turned to dusk-
You no longer pass my way.
Cob webs grow on me like vines-
Nothing to show for my life.
Nothing ventured nothing gained,
And now I feel it is too late.
Standing alone
peering our a window
she awaits the passage of time.
Before her in the view from the window
passes kings, queens,
and all manor of man kind.
Still she waits
presuming the perfect moment will arrive
when love will sweep her off her feet.
The shadows cast by the sun,
as it rises and sets,
shows on her face.
Time is passing before her.
Her hair grays, her complexion fades,
as the sun threatens to set on her life.
But convinced love still waits for her
she stays on another days,
peering through the window
at the world.
On the corner
down the street
across from the park the children play in,
set back from the street
hidden in the bushes
fixed between the trees that have stood for ages,
disheveled in it's appearance
dilapidated by time
forgotten by those who own it,
Victorian in style
faded in color
empty of all life that once filled it,
stands this old house.
Searching for a soul to love it
children and laughter to fill it once again.
If only the hedges were trimmed,
the grass was cut,
and the house was repainted-
vitality, spirit and history
could be restored to this dyeing neighborhood;
just down the street
over the bridge
on the other side of the river from me.
Your Electric touch
Your perfect body
The way you bat your eyes.
The tilt of your head,
The tone in you voice-
The way my blood boils when your near.
It’s something in the way you touch me-
And the way our bodies respond together.
It’s the smile that dances
Constantly on your face,
It’s that sparkle that lives in your eyes.
You intoxicate me-
You pull me in and I am
Incapable of getting free.
It’s your silky voice
At the end of the line-
The way you make me melt
When you call me baby.
It’s the shape of your nose,
It’s the curve of your face,
It’s the way your lips entrance
Me when you talk.
It’s the dream in the middle of my life,
The dream I wish not to be stirred from.
It’s you, baby!!
That’s how I know
I love you.
