WHERE YOU ARE Even though you are so far, I can dream of where you are. When I look up to the sky, I can see into your eyes. I will stare off into space, And there I'll see your shining face. Then I look upon the ground, Even there, too, you are found. It matters not what I do, All my thoughts are of you. I see you in the stars, Still I wonder where you are. Dark, cool, blowing night air, Reminds me of your soft hair. Maybe it wasn't meant to be, Then why are you all I see? I can see you floating above, flying as graceful as a dove. In the winter, when it snows, In the fall when the wind blows, Even during April showers, Your beauty exceeds the flowers. In the summer and on the sand, You can be seen across the land. Hao Voqui. (C) SONNET 109 O, never say that I was false of heart, Though absence seemes my flame to qualify. As easy might I from myself depart As from my soul, which in thy breast doth lie. That is my home of love; if I have ranged, Like him that travels I return again, Just so the time, not with the time exchanged, So that myself bring water for my stain. Never believe, though in my nature reigned All frailties that besiege all kinds of blood, That it could so preposterously be stained To leave for nothing all thy sum of good; For nothing this wide universe I call Save thou, my rose; in it thou art my all. William Shakespeare WAITING FOR EACH OTHER Like the golden glory that arrives before the dawn, We were only waiting for the day we both were born From the misted labyrinths of warped and endless time, When our lives were joined together into a steady climb To reach the tow'ring ramparts of the far and distant clouds; To find our life together, and to shout our love aloud. Mike Brooker (C) ALWAYS AND FOREVER When nothing makes sense and every thought is blurred Love finds it's way and somehow I understand I know why it is and what must be No matter what arises or what happens Love will always find it's way And lead us to our place Our fairytale. When you look into my eyes you view my soul And see the love I have to give It is everything I am and because of it I will always love you For you have given it to me In a world full of despair You've given me hope A dream, a desire for something more Something better For this you will always be special. I love you more than anyone will ever know If there was a word to describe my love Surely it would only be spoken by god For no person could love more than me In my heart I carry you and the essence of love In its pure and simple form All I have to offer you is me and my love Though both are simple I promise they are true. Even as I write this I think of how to describe to you Something I hardly understand But I must tell you how I feel So I close my eyes And let my heart guide my hand Perhaps the tears that fall from my eyes Will show you my love and how much it means to me To me our love is everything. I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers To the questions being reveiled I promise you that i will always love you And I never meant to hurt you I know you love me I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your touch I promise I will never forget it For out of everything in my life I have earned and aquired Your love is my most valueable possession And the memories I have with it Will always be my fondest. Life is truly a mystery A puzzle waiting to be solved Although one might be able to solve it alone The answer will be found easier with another I want to discover life with you And experience all of life's mysteries Together in your embrace I love you... always and forever..... Christophor Hardesty (C) WINDOWS Love became windows of springtime Through which the light of many dreams Found life, the manifold summertimes Began to breathe their first breath, The skies taking hold on many days, With gentle embrace: the fondness of first roses, The fresh smell of pine trees, the glades full Of abundant green life, birds and crickets singing, Thinking aloud as they sing, full of joy as they bring Tenderness to our souls, the warm winds full Of natural fragrance as she adorns herself With a gentleness like soft down. She is a sweet song upon my lips That will never be silenced, a sweet fragrance That will never leave my dreams, a living vessel Of sweet love that will never run dry, her kisses Becoming gentle doves of light floating deep within The skies of my Heart. Our Hearts filled with gladness, She is my joyful Companion of Love, Sweet Lady that she is, full of life; our lips touch Again in sweet, abundant love. Ken Scott (C) IF I COULD... If I could, I would, I swear Take away all your pain I'd wrap you in a shawl of care 'Til you feel safe again And if I could, I would, please know, Restore your life anew Be the half that makes you whole Bring happiness to you If I could, I would, my dear, Grant all your heart's desires A life of love, devoid of fear All that your soul requires And if I could, I would, believe, Make all your dreams come true I'd be the man who'd never leave I'd give my heart to you Gregory Bell (C) MEMORIES WITH A ROSY GLOW Memories from long ago Acquire a kind of rosy glow That filters out a bitter taste (The regret I felt at my own waste) I want to think of only good Of you and the time we stood Together, against the odds That threatened us, and pounded us And as I dream it happens thus That beauty yours in frozen time Diffuses through my memory mind Things I liked-I want to dream Memories with a perfect seam And I won't remember what went bad- The shouting and the tears and fighting that we had The lonely ache and what was to be gone forever ... Only the high I had with you Huff an aroma rosy hued Blue sky stars and candle flame Perfume you wore, and champagne Lips on lips and hands on skin In a sun of love and sea of sin And how I loved! And how I love-- How I love Memories with a rosy glow Of you and I, so long ago. Josh Poage (C)
