When I Look In Your Eyes





So many nights have passed

and waved hello

to the entering sun

while fading beyond the stars

and beyond my dreams.



Throughout them all,

I've thought about

your eyes,

and the way they

'told' me things

that my heart needed

and wanted to hear.



I miss those nights.



The feelings have engraved

a permanent place

in my being,

like so many

resting…

May This Be Love

Waterfall



Nothing can harm me at all

My worries seem so very small

With my waterfall

I can see

My rainbow calling me

Through the misty breeze

Of my waterfall

Some people say

Day-dreamings for all the

Lazy minded fools

With nothin else to do

So let them laugh, laugh at me

So just as long as I have you

To see me through

I have…

Your Smile

I took my walk around the square today

feeling a sense of

renewal and ease

as I strolled

holding hands with

the breeze.

My thoughts sauntered lazily throughout

my head

as my senses

inhaled sights and sounds...

I smelled popcorn

and chinese food

flowers

and soft rain

as…
