sit and...

I'm sitting here...

I'm sitting here and you are sitting there,
You're telling me what's happened since we met,
And I am happy for I love to share
All aspects of your busy life. And yet -
Rebellious fingers yearn to stroke your face,
Rebellious mind strays from your argument
And dwells instead on thoughts of your embrace
And memories of what our kisses meant.
I try to concentrate, but cannot find
Much aptitude for logic when you're near.

I'm sitting here...

Oh, darling, surely you can read my mind?
You're sitting there and I am sitting here
Just longing for the moment when you'll say,
With outstretched arms, 'You're rather far away.'

I Know why the caged bird sings

I know why the caged bird sings.
For the sign of hope that tomorrow brings.

I know why the caged bird won't fly.
Because he rests on the soul of life
and if he flies away he will surely die.

But tell me please, oh someone please,
please tell me because I just don't understand
why that one little caged bird cries.
Is he sad, is he lonely, is he discombobulated?

That poor little caged bird is lost on the road.

Would someone please show him which way to go.
I know why the caged bird sings.
For a sign of faith that tomorrow brings.

Celebrating First Year

 

 

FIRST SUNRISE, FIRST LOVE

My Heart facing the Horizon,
My eyes seeing the Sun rising
As this feeling rises in my Being
Disabling in me the Reason.

The Sun rising heats up my soul.
This Heat causes my heart to beat.
This beat should cause our paths to meet
Though their first crossing made me fool.

As the Sun enlightens the Earth,
So does Love cause my Heart to flame.
In this feeling there is no shame
Free in my Heart and Soul to surf.

This mood changes my character
Her image fuses with the Sun
And I face it and start to run
Going to my Love to conquer.

Colors of Life

Life is like crayons,
That gives attractions,
It is filled with colors and meanings,
And so interesting...

Life is like a rainbow,
That others doesn't know,
It is full of excitement and glow,
Which will be remembered all day long...

From beginning till ending,
From sadness to happiness,
From failure to success.
GOD is always with us...here...there...and everywhere.

'The colors of life will bring a shining light dreams...'

Childhood Religion

 

I have lived most of my life with individual expression and thought 

At times sacrificed free will and allowed it to be bought. 

My religion has been brought from out of the past 

While life is the present and precedence does not last.

I understand that there has to be building blocks for life 

But I question why the foundation caused so much strife?

 I was taught to confess childhood sin 

With a penance from man for a new life to begin.

Power and fear were the idols of my church and thusly so 

Human compassion and forgiveness seldom did we know. 

When I observed my pastor in military regalia go to the altar

 I thought how cruel and therein did I falter.

That moment I lost my belief in a church I did chose 

But I have faith in the eternal gift which I will never lose. 

Over the years I have sat and listened to others 

Mostly words from the past and seldom from my brothers.

Love Has Finally Come My Way

With you, how lovely are the days 

And having you can be compared to a lot of clichés.

 

You make my fears and doubts all fly away;

Always assuring me that things will be okay.

I have loved you ever since the first day

And I will love you even until our hair turns gray.

I am and will always be here to stay

Because your love has finally come my way.
