Beacon

Copyright © by Tammy R. Clarke, June 8, 2000

Like a Beacon on the Shoreline,
My Love is the Light that will lead two Hearts to home.

So, Go battle your Raging Seas...
No doubt you will Conquer the Seedy Storms.
And, when the darkness lingers too long...
Over your shoulder and deep in your Soul,
The Light of My Love for you will shine on your Path.


Haunted

Copyright © by Tammy R. Clarke, June 8, 2000

Haunted by eyes I have beheld but a few times...
   Clutched at the Heart by the Hands firmly placed on my back...
       Captured by your Soul & Trusting in the dark room of Fate
                -Searching for Faith in your words.

Looking like a fool doesn't matter...
But to never Let go & 'Fall from the Height' - would.

I would shiver in the Rain,
     Dare the Witching hour,
         & Search the ends of the Earth for you...

Just to capture a Dance in your Eyes
& to feel your Smile w/ my Fingertip...


Consistency

Copyright © by Tammy R. Clarke, June 8, 2000

You can spend every waking moment with someone
      and never feel but surface deep.
Yet, in only handfuls of passionate moments...
      I have shuddered & screamed at the Heart's core
while many have only tickled and teased on the skin

All the while, my lips kept silent.
      Anticipating the Days when my hands
will cup your face and our eyes meet & not waver.
      Time is just a measuring tool for our Memories, My dear...
This feeling is immeasurable, My Consistency unbreakable.


The Core

Copyright © by Tammy R. Clarke, June 8, 2000

Through the Core of my Chest...
Deep Breathes are strangled by an Ache...
An Ache not only from Missing you...
But of Feeling your Heartache & Misery


In your Heart & Hands...You will find me.
In my Heart & Hands...I hold fast to you.
It's all Time and Patience, Love
In our Journeys, Soulmates we are & Reunited we will soon be..
Trust in what you Feel...Trust in All of Me.


'My Rain'

Copyright © by Tammy R. Clarke, June 8, 2000

The 'rain' knows what I am thinking...
I don't have to spell it out.
I Know The 'rain's Indecision...
It's all been written about.
I will believe the 'rain' has been truthful
Never doubting 'its' Intentions.

Now comes the time for MY truth:
I can't reach the 'rain'...I must wait for its return
Never knowing how long or if this is a drought.
My Precious 'land' of Loyalty...
would be sacrificied for Misery.

I've been drenched with unkept Promises...
When shall the 'rain' remain the same?


Soul Twister

Copyright © by Tammy R. Clarke, June 8, 2000

I dusted off my mirror; staring solemnly at my reflection.
All the Fiery lectures flung furiously at lost souls,
had masked my wayward image;
whispering truthes into my eyes:

I am inconsistent
I am afraid of intimacy
I struggle for affection..
as if I am not worthy of Believable Emotions.

Inside, I am a tornado -
Swirling emotions
That keep secrets from my heart;
Playing a fascinating facade with me.
