To my darling Kara

Heights

What would i do to give her a kiss
Just to stand there with her for a moment of bliss
What would i do to give her a hug
Thoughts and feelings at my heart do tug

What can i do to be just like her
Sweet, comforting, soft as fur
How can i ever love her enough?
She's beautiful, even when times are rough

She's something that can't be taken away
For if she was, with my soul I'd pay
And try my hardest to be able to return to her side
Now i just wish that for the rest of my life, there i can abide

So please God, look upon us with loving eyes
Please make sure that all we have together is bright skies
Let this flame grow old, but never burn out of sight
Let our love grow to new destinations: new hights

Dedicated to my Sister, Kara
(This poem was written before Kara and I were going out)

Here

I sit at a desk, and look at your words,
In the electric silence, you can be heard.
Why do we live so far, yet stand so close?
We talk, laugh, cry, love, and boast.

Stay close, Sis, may our ways never ever part,
Hold on, girl, when he leaves, you'll still hold my heart.
Don't ever leave my side, I miss your company,
Let us grow up strong and free.

I miss you, Sis, just stand tall,
Maybe I'll see you before the fall.
We can finally talk face-to-face,
And will put our thoughts in place.

For my darling Kara

Dark

I pray for you as I sleep at night
I pray for us, `cause love has a fierce bite
Heavy hearts, as we walked our final miles
We cried inside, but our mouths had smiles

Your lips were soft, your hands were cold
I kissed you gently, your fingers I did hold
The bounce in your walk kept my hopes up high
You're light as a bird, together we will fly

Your tears are sweet, but I don't like to see you cry
We both shed tears, though we'll never say good-bye
Now I sit here alone in the dark
I remember the time I held you in the park

Memories can never be taken away
You may be gone, but your sweet smell will stay
I hope that soon we will again touch
Because hearing your heart is something I miss so much

Pictures

I gaze at the screen with our faces,
I remember the times, your touch, the places.
I know what it's like to be in your arms,
I know what it's like to be out of their harm.

Slowly now, I write these words,
Phrases that we were only ment to have heard.
So I watch on, as they try to pull us apart,
For I know, that we are one at heart.

My mind is full of images, past and future,
Why does it feel so good, this love creature?
Can I be yours for the rest of my life?
Will you kiss my tears away when they cut like a knife?

For now, my love, I feel our burning desires,
To make this love last, to bring our passions higher.
I will wait forever, when it comes to being with you,
Because knowing you're there makes my heart red, not blue.

Sun gleams over the never-ending ocean, smooth and serene,
Though beneath the surface the hate cannot be seen.
To the naive, all is well,
Yet for deep inside, all is hell.

Winds blow strong as the ocean grows black,
I know now there is no turning back.
Waves crash, grasping me from within,
Lost in sudden darkness, the pain soon begins.

The rise and fall of the now torrent ocean,
Is the cry of my tangled emotions.
Churning and twisting, taking hold of my heart,
Ripping and tearing my life apart.

Reaching for the light it takes hold of my soul,
Pulling me deeper into its infinite hole,
I fall into the realm of darkness and hate,
My mind now in an empty state.

The winds fade, though the light has diminished forever,
The ocean dies inside, yet looks full of pleasure,
To the naive, all is well,
Yet for me, all is hell.

Moving

She told me she was going to leave
She had tears in her eyes as she grabbed my sleave
I kissed her and held her close
She was the one I loved the most

I wished that moment would last forever
I wanted for us to always be together
The pain was great that I felt inside
And along with her that night, I cried

She pulls away, and heads to the car
Those wheels will taker her to a place thats far
I feel like my heart has been ripped apart
I remember the look in her eye as our lips did part

All I now have left is a picture of her face
Her picture though isn't something I can embrasse
I can still see her tears roll down her cheek
I know that never again will we meet

Dedicated to my Everything, Kara

Sun, Stars, Wind

Her full soul fills my gap of darkness
Her heat melts my heart time and time again
To her, I am afrain of nothing to confess
She holds my deepest secrets and feelings tightly inside

As the wind blows, it softly whispers her name
It quietly reminds me of the strength we have
Though we are different people, we are one in the same
She grows old with me, timeless as the stars

Her heart grips me like the sun's warm rays
I can't stop thinking of her, then, now, forever
And I will breathe her thoughts for the rest of my days
As she sees me walk among this faceless world

In sickness and in health I will be hers to stand by
I will heal her wounds, and comfort her so
She's deserving of the best, and for that I will try
She is my life, world, hopes, dreams...my angel

Train Ride

I watch the trees fly by me now
I think of where I'm going, and how
Stories untold stowed away in their seats
Our story, one of them, of how we did meet

The train whistle in the air does blast
Memories come back deep from the past
On our first kiss, the whistle we did hear
Small memory: so important, yet so mear

Our lives take us like a speeding train
Walking us to the tracks in the pooring rain
Our tracks are endless, side by side
The engine of love keeps us in stride

The tears roll down my cheek as I sit in this seat
I'm just another person that a stranger might meet
The story of our love is just a drop of water in a pail
Our story of love is one which will never ever fail

Everytime you hear the whistle, think of me
Remember all the good times we have yet to see
Don't forget: Our life is like endless tracks
We keep surging forward, and never looking back

Insomnia

If I fall to sleep and you wake me up
I'll love you more in the light of day
But as darkness sweeps behind my eyes
My bright side may decay
Because when light turns to dark
Love turns to hate
And though I may love you now
I find it hard to stay awake
If you see the shadows in my head
And stay here by my side
I'll hold you in my arms and thoughts
Until our love, it dies
When dreams turn to dust under the wieght of truth
And only nightmars remain
A star will shine on, maybe yours
If not it's all the same
In the light of day our scars may heal
Overnight our love will fade
Loyalty may last forever
But thoughts have always strayed
Love isn't always a rainbow
Love isn't always a heart
ove can also be the rain
Love can also feed the dark

Fade

I'm broken, so broken
I'm torn in two.
Now it's dark
and silence closes in,
and I'm left to pick up the pieces,
try to put them back together
but I've lost the glue.

Now I'm tired,
shaken by the agony of it all,
surrounded by a deep abyss
created from my fear.
It's quiet,
through the darkness creatures stir
and I hold onto the pieces.

The stone walls of my cell are cold,
dampness seeps over my skin
but I won't give in,
somehow the pieces fit,
I just need more time,
maybe an eternity.

I feel myself growing old,
my skin withers,
so frail and delicate,
and the pieces of my life
turn to dust

...I didn't want to fade away
