Wade

A strong and steadfast friend
                        I know I've found in you
                        A warm and caring soul
                        someone who will be true

                        I'd walk alone for many miles
                        blinded by the haze
                        without your faith beneath my steps
                        Id' be lost within the maze

                        Take my hand so you will know
                        the sincerity in my song
                        Hold me close if I should fall
                        as I journey the long way home

                        I bow my head in silence
                        take your words and feel
                        This friendship growing steadily
                        into something lasting and real ~

An Awakening

An awakening this morning
                        stirring deep inside
                        Feelings of strength and understanding
                        I no longer want to hide

                        Smiling softly towards the future
                        For its shadow truly knows my heart
                        Resigned to create changes
                        and become a brand new start

                        Patiently and peacefully
                        I ride the storm and wrath
                        always with you by my side
                        I continue to walk this path

                        Learning and revealing
                        what my soul should really be
                        Knowing it will be okay
                        if you still believe in me

                        The trees whisper my calling
                        Moon rises for my dreams
                        Days and nights are
                        time and thoughts
                        Nothing is what it seems

                        Take my promise and hold it true
                        forever somewhere near
                        I've opened my eyes and still see you
                        and can conquer all the fear

                        It's there behind the dark vast sky
                        and carried on the wind
                        The stars remain my watchful eye
                        over possibility and infinite end

                        How difficult to find a way
                        to give back the gift of you
                        You have my words and so much more
                        please feel me speak the truth

                        Beyond what was expected --
                        though it never really was
                        A rare and priceless connection
                        where dreams begin above

                        Needs no explanation
                        or reason for why it exists
                        Deeply wrapped in passion
                        sent with an invisible kiss

                        Time is slowly beckoning me
                        to live but wait with wonder
                        Neither dim grey skies nor blackening clouds
                        can chase away life's thunder

                        Roaring like the tiger's cry
                        Flying freely as a bird
                        This became my song to you

                        and is now my final word ~

Fairytale

Once upon a Fairytale
                        in a Land unlike our own
                        There stood a Palace of Strength and Love
                        surrounded by water and stone

                        Majestic dragons of distant lifetimes
                        glide swoop and perpetually dive
                        Impish Faeries with sparkling eyes
                        dance 'round the moons and come alive

                        Five purple suns in the heat of the day
                        shine down on the vast kingdom below
                        Knight loves Young Maiden and steals her away
                        to a place where crystal rivers flow

                        Alone in the clearing their sighs intertwine
                        with the rising heat of their actions
                        A loving embrace, a deeply felt kiss
                        an explosion of desire and passions

                        But the Kingdom shall not remain so blisffully safe
                        For the Enemy creeps and dangers unfold;
                        A midnight raven furiously cries in vain
                        for the Knight to awaken and Take Hold...

                        Firey battles rage upon the Castle
                        Warriors and soldiers march into Hell
                        The Knight hears the call from his Brothers-in Arm
                        and bids his Young Maiden farewell

                        Crying out for his valient and loyal dark steed
                        in a voice commanding wind, fire and rain
                        Silver shield raised up high and sword touching the sky
                        the brave Knight rides to restore Hope again

                        His galloping horse travels like lightening and speed
                        taking paths through the clouds and the thunder
                        Upon reaching his home he falls to his knees
                        for most of the great walls have crumbled

                        The Enemy silently awaits him near
                        his sly grin and red eyes glowing bright
                        The Knight feels his evil and searches him out
                        in the place where his father lost the Great Fight

                        Angry eyes meet determined ones
                        Fog rolls in and darkens the land
                        Enemy amd Knight begin the challenge to see
                        who will destroy or save this haven in the end

                        Gleaming tips of powerful swords meet and strike with
                        malice
                        Knight is well trained and has strength from the gods
                        and the unwavering will to save his palace

                        Losing in the end with a look and a curse
                        the Enemy falls to the ground
                        The Young Maiden and village emerge from their hiding
                        and praise their Knight's victory in song

                        But the Knight was cut deep from his mission
                        and needs breath for eternal sleep
                        Though his good deeds and protection did well
                        His own life to give he can't keep

                        He looks one last time at his beautiful Maiden
                        with a soft smile and promise to love
                        She cries for what might have been in the future
                        A final kiss and his soul flies away like a dove

Girlfriends

Like beats to my heart
                        you stay within my world
                        I feel you in my thoughts
                        your voices always heard

                        Your friendship is engraved
                        upon the walls of my soul
                        Always I am with you
                        whether day or night seems cold

                        Feel me in these words
                        for my love will never cease
                        I will see you someday
                        and we will find our peace

How Long Will You Love Me

How long will you love me
                        She constantly would ask
                        He'd laugh it off
                        or roll his eyes
                        She was always wondering things like that

                        How long will you love me
                        she asked him one starry night
                        He pushed back her hair from her face
                        and commented on her eyes

                        They walked along
                        past the woods
                        even right by the place they'd met
                        She couldn't understand why
                        he hadn't answered her yet

                        How long will you love me
                        She quietly sighed as she slept
                        He stood so still
                        by her bedside
                        and hands in face he wept

                        Her death was growing closer
                        he could not say goodbye
                        He had to tell her something
                        and he began to try...

                        I will love you for Eternity
                        I will love your soul, your heart
                        I will love you in the darkest times
                        I will love you near or far

                        She turned to him
                        but couldn't speak
                        to ask of him once more
                        He closed the blinds
                        tucked the blanket around her
                        and slowly shut the door

                        As he saw her spirit leave
                        he leaned in to give her a kiss
                        I will love you he whispered
                        my darling, only for as long...

                        as anything exists

The Firelily and Your Love

A Flower
                        so precious and rare
                        Petals to protect
                        Color to reflect
                        Scent to affect

                        A Love
                        so pure and real
                        Feelings too new
                        Thoughts too true
                        Words too few

                        Like the Firelilly
                        finds herself
                        inside the familiar home
                        So shall your love envelop us
                        wherever we shall roam

                        As it's said in Nature
                        Some pieces of her just live
                        And like your love
                        ask not the how or why
                        but accept it for what it is

Awaken

I looked out at the stars
                        they greeted me with a song
                        Singing a melody from our past
                        we've known it all along

                        They hinted to me of a year
                        full of promise and surprise
                        I stared at the dark night's mystery
                        and began to see your eyes

                        I felt warmth and comfort
                        from a familiar place I know
                        You seemed to be calling me
                        from somewhere I cannot yet go

                        I smiled and thought to myself
                        this could be the time
                        We will open our eyes and awaken
                        and discover what we must find
