Hardening

The softness you once held within your arms,
Has hardened into cold and heavy stone.
No tossing of this weighted pebble knows
The smoothness of our quiet lake --it's gone.

Currency

Two dimes, a nickel in my hand
I need much more to pay my way
Four quarters or a crumpled bill
Won't take me further than today

Sunset

The sun and moon no longer friends
Will pass another day apart
Your enemy, I won't pretend
To feel the beating of your heart

Summer

Blue ocean seas are whispering my name
Mysterious deep waters embrace me
Paradise lingers like soft golden sand
My mere memories cannot replace these

No Voice

I could not write my song tonight
My mind felt pale and weak;
A baby bird that couldn't fly
A mute that couldn't speak

Stood Up

I waited for you patiently
Hoping that you would meet me soon
Three hours later I could tell
You stood me up this afternoon

Deferring

If I believe will he arrive
And bring with him the love I need?
Deferring hopes to sleep and dreams
Reminds me life gives no reprieve

Deferring

If I believe will he arrive
And bring with him the love I need?
Deferring hopes to sleep and dreams
Reminds me life gives no reprieve

Thirst

How long will lovers have to wait
And should they sit upon some bench?
While life decides to fill the heart
Despite the thirst it cannot quench
