Weep No More

Weep no more for me, my love
Although our time for now is through
I am but a breath away
And I shall always be with you

Dry your tears and carry on
Live your life with joy and laughter
We will meet again someday
Then will be our ever after

Entangled

Skin pressing skin in silent plea
Wrapped in the haven
 of your loving arms
This soothes my soul, twining you and me
Lost in a world
of sweet reverie

Quiet as a sunrise, soft as loves first kiss
This gentle sharing
of our nights and days
Entangled in your arms to dream, sweet bliss
I could stay wrapped forever
with you like this

Someday

Someday I'll walk with you again
Hand in hand we will be together
But for now our time is through
And this, the storm that I must weather

I thought that you would be here always
Never a thought of me, alone
But in my heart you still are near
And with this thought I'll carry on

Someday we'll walk again together
This, the thought that keeps me strong
Until that time, I'll hold my memories
With you is where my love belongs

Family Matters

So much harder than I could have
guessed
This honesty you now expect from
me
Now I realize how often I have
bowed
How often I have smiled and played
along
Don't make waves
It may cause problems
Shhhh
Don't

Don't say too much
Don't rock the boat
If you do, they may not love you
Shhhh
Take their love away
Tomorrows another day
Shhhh

Don't disagree

Passionate

How welcome carefree time and
open air would be
How welcome time alone together
you and me

The pleasure of some quiet time
to spend within
The treasure of an afternoon
in my own skin

To wallow unrepentant
self-indulgent days
To squander languid leisure
in a summer haze

To sip a glass and daydream,
nothing else to do
To lie in torpid sunshine 
wrap myself in you

These agonizing longings writhe
beneath my skin
These passionate emotions
which are deep within

This burning blinding madness
Which now rides my soul
This yearning sweet loves gladness
That now makes us whole

Edge of Reason

I stand here on the edge of reason
Fearing for my sanity
Mood as changing as the season
This madness that hangs over me

Caring not for my tomorrows
Time a friend to me no more
Searching for an end to sorrow
Eyes upon a distant shore

Then you came upon me, wooing
Offering to share my sorrow
So your love was my undoing
And our love now my tomorrow

Daydreaming

I am dreaming of you

Although my eyes are open
And I am wide awake
I find I'm dreaming of you
With every breath I take

Daydreams which beguile me
They have right from the start
All my thoughts are captive
As well as is my heart

I never was a dreamer
or thought dreams could come true
But now my daydreams flourish
All because of you
