I see you...
Your head in your hands
As tears of sorrow spill
Telling the tale of vanquished dreams and stolen hope
They blaze a trail as they fall
Branding your cheeks with the scars of despair
I reach for you, to hold you close, and calm your fears
But my hands are bound tight by the other woman that
Laughes as your heart shatters, crushed in her hands
The shrapnel pierces the fabric of your reality.
Your voice as it trembles
The words of frustration trample the broken pieces of your world
The fury screams in your veins
As the broken promises and patronizing indifference
Bleed through your mind
I cry out to you, I want to kiss away the pain
But my words are lost in the winds of the other woman's tormenting song
How she dances with delight as her words cut
Like daggers wrenching your soul
The wounds sting as they are salted with her lies and distrust
Your wall of resentment climbs higher
You walk slowly to your death, as each jagged stone is set
It's mortar of defiled vows and withered faith hardening
Confining your feeble will, as Death's icy fingertips
Stifle the final ember of passion left in you
I mourn for the lost gleam of life's splendor in your eyes
I long for the whisper in your laugh and the tenderness of your smile
But can the love I possess and cherish, resurrect your heart and soul
When it has been conquered in the tempest
Of the other woman's scorn?

a woman
Because she is beautiful...
She is beautiful
Because you love her....
~Unknown~
is not In the face...
Beauty is a light
in the heart..
~Unknown~
A stolen glimpse of you, A tender touch
A softly spoken sigh...
A lover's kiss , Pure desire
All buried deep inside...
These thoughts of you, caress my mind
And sweetly kiss my soul
Reminding me of once long ago
And a love my heart will forever hold
