My Poetry Corner

You bring a smile to my face
You keep me safe in this dark place
You open my eyes and help me see
The lighted path where I should be
You take my hand and lead me through
You're strong my friend, I trust in you

A glimpse of love tortures the soul
Down deep you cry out
Come back to me
Passion burning in your heart
Sweet memories linger on your lips
Touch them softly
Feel it again
Drowning in uncertainty
Searching for what is to come
Let desire overwhelm you
Let it lead you where it will
To a place where happiness lives forever
In the arms of your beloved

Blood pumping through my veins
Heart racing fast
Head filled with questions
That I'm afraid to ask
Body aches with longing
Limbs are laden down
Hands that long to touch you
But I know you're not around
Seeing with my curious eyes
Hearing with my ears
Touching with soft fingertips
To wipe away the tears
Arms that hold me close
Head against your chest
Lips that kiss me sweet
Now I can finally rest

Just friends
That's what we are
Nothing less but a little more
Just friends
A surprise concert late one night
Not seeing my door until the first morning light
Just friends
I know that I'm not alone
Even though I'm on my own
Just friends
Deep inside we both care
But you have no love to spare
Just friends
I finally found out what you want from me
And no strings is how you want it to be
Just friends
I think somehow we're losing out
But I guess that's what it's all about
Just friends
I wanted more but in the end
I've had to realize we're just friends

When I stare out that big glass window
I'm looking into another world
I only see what I want to
I'm as free as a bird
I can see my future
The way that I want it to be
I can see love forever
And the one who cares for me
I can see the bright blue sky
And the sun is shining down
My lover seems so far away
But I know that he's around
I can see the morning come
The difference between day and night
My lover is standing in the shadows
But he's showing me the light

Sometimes I want to get lost in my dreams
My own Never-Never Land
Because then you're not what you seem
And I could hold you in the palm of my hand
Then I could control you
And make you love me
I would tell you what to do
And open your eyes and make you see
I don't think you knew
What it was you did to me
In my dream I'd make you pay
For my broken heart
But you would want to stay
You'd realize what you had lost
But now my dream is done
And I am back for good
Because my life has just begun
And reality has won

Save me:
I'm falling deeper into your trap
Love me:
My heart aches for you to be mine
How do you know when it's really love?
Hold me:
I need to be enclosed in your arms
To feel your warmth and security
Try me:
No matter what I will always be there for you

Tonight I feel so lonely
I think how much I want you to hold me
You make me feel so good
I put my trust in you because I knew I could
You never let me down
When I need you you're always around
The world has fallen around me
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than spending time with you
It's the only thing I want to do
I know you're there when I need someone
To lay all doubts and fears upon
So let me love you with all I've got
Because you're everything I'll ever want

I've walked this path before
Nothing is the same to me now
Is this the road of life?
It seems so strange and distant
Nothing familiar to hold onto
And yet a sense of serenity ahead
I reach out to grasp it
And pull it close to me
To never let it go
I hide it away safe inside
Tucked away in the depths of my being
Where it begins to grow and blossom
And radiate a precious light
Transforming my lost and lonely soul
Into one full of hope
For a future with love
Peace settles in
And makes me its home

Tonight
I'm waiting here
And it's clear
I miss you
Tonight
You're so far away
What can I say?
I love you

The blackness surrounds me like a blanket
Deep fears surface and escape
I want to crawl out of this abyss of despair
Air to breathe, light to see
It won't allow me to break free
The blackness surrounds me like a pool of water
Pain and tragedy haunt me
I want to die in this cavern of torture
Can someone save me?
It won't allow me to break free
The blackness surrounds me like the still of night
It's hold on me is suffocating
I want to climb up the mountain of anguish
I look back, I cannot flee
It won't allow me to break free
The blackness surrounds me like a cape
It releases it's grip
I fall past the mountain, the cavern, the abyss
I wake up, can it be?
It has finally allowed me to break free
