I have always loved
you Though youth knew not
that love so well Like a mountain
stream, Enlarging in the
river of my life, Expanding on to
depths That alpine rivulets
never know, My love grew.
I have always loved
you And though it seemed
my love would die In the deserts of my
life It swelled instead on
mighty plains Until, a massive
flood, It hurries now to
ocean depths I cannot foresee I have always loved
you It breaks my heart I
cannot show how much The fullness of my
love But I believe a day
will come A day when you will
know And there, in ocean
mists I'll be reborn To love you even
more.

A cold cold heart is my legacy The winds of change have blown Forever lost are the arms of love I have known. Prisoner in a haunted place a desert dry Gentleness and tenderness within my reach yet denied And though she has desires and dreams I don't know what they are the magic kiss withdrawn from me met in another's heart. A cold cold heart is my legacy 'Tis the end of love's sweet song her need for me has flown you see When I thought our love was strong I was wrong. I thought I'd always win at love it never dawned on me That like a knife a cold cold heart would be my legacy. 6-27-99
If
I searched oer' a lifetime Where
could I find A
vision like you... A
jewel out of time. Though
the
waters are many And
the land is diverse I
could look on forever And
I'd always find worse. For
you are my sweetheart The
dream of my youth The
light of my days A
stronghold of truth. Life
is an adventure Each
day a new twist It's
your friendship that make it As
fun as it is. If
I lost you tomorrow I
don't know what I'd do Cause
I could search oer' a lifetime And
I'd never find you. 3-27-94
She's
gone
like a whirl
in
a world of change and
there's no one
to make supper
argue with
or put the kid's to bed She's
left
like a dream
.a frantic nightmare
one you wake from but
I can't And
there's no one
sharing the loveseat
my dreams
a movie
lunch. She's
gone
her decision to love
revoked. and
there's no one
to scratch my back
shop with
kiss goodnight She's
left
to take her beauty
where it's better seen
to love another with
more passionate touch and
there's no one
to talk with
massage or to listen to strange sounds She's
left
like a dream
a rush of fear
and She's
here.

i'm adrift without your love wondering often if it's me your thinking of not just an image from a weathered memory perhaps i'm slave to how i think it aught to be
still i'm adrift without your love longing always just to touch the substance of the very heart of all that makes you who you are then again am i just wishing on a star?
yet i’m adrift without your love to share a closeness is the thing i'm dreaming of i pray someday that I will find that phantom place where love is real not just a likeness of your face
so i’m adrift without your love

Like sunlight on the water and diamonds in the sand Like laughter drifting children dashing and crumbling castles Like gently moving leaves in the breeze is your touch. Like the beach between my toes and currents in my hair Like brilliant kites touching the sky or a thousand dandilion parachutes floating on the wind is you touch. Like a lingering sunset where mountains meet the waves Like the quiet sound of surf Like a favorite blanket or a prayer of thankfulness sent in the twilight is your touch. Like moonlight on the ocean and a whispering sea Like a crackling campfire or a million sleepy stars Like an angel here beside me
If she would come again Then I would love her As a man Through tears I see Where I went wrong And I repent
I remember now how close to me She came Her flame as strong a death I feared Her strength and fierceness And I ran away
But now my heart comes trembling I seek Her tender spirit and All the treasures of my house I'd give
My heart is turned within me My soul cries out This love as deep as hell Is tearing me apart And yet
Her seal is on my heart How can I give her up Oh just to love her Intimate If she would come again. 5-15-2003
Love is a long-past dream In my memory Setting out across A diamond sea Where I would long to go again If in its youth Love sailed again for me
Lost upon the stormy winds And torrent yesterday Smashed upon My treacherous way Love cannot find the way again If it had youth To sail sail back home to stay.
And yet I can't but wish In my dreams held dear To see it once again Sailing near This wandering long-lost vessel love That in its youth Made happy memories here. 6-10-2001 Goodbye
my love. Where
will I go to find a love like yours?
Your
soul, your thoughts so special —dear
to me. I
freely gave myself to you.
My
heart is turned within for you are joy
to me and
passion in my eyes
Yet
here you are, dying in my arms.
Gasping
out your last as if you had no friend —no
lover. Why
don’t you want me close? Futile
now my words "Come
back, my love!"
How
will I bear your absence?
I
have anticipated you From
the moorings of eternity dreaming of your love —us
together. Since
your birth I
held your bright eyes close Brought
you good things.
Is
this the way it ends?
Now
you’re forever gone In
vain I call to you "Come
back my love!"
Sobbing
like a symphony, a priceless violin —my
heart Caressing
now your face I see what might have been.
Eternity
so quiet
Falling
on your lifeless form —my
tears And
wondering, they will say “How
great his love!”
How
can it be that I have lost you?
Yes,
now I’ll hold you one last time and say with quivering heart Goodbye
my love!
