Sweet Obsession

Oh, my love
My sweet obsession
How I yearn for your light touch
Oh, my soul
My sweet possession
Never dared to love this much

First you came
You smiled so sweetly
My poor heart was all undone
How could I
Stand by so meekly
Knew from the start you were the one

When I was
Alone and lonely
Hopelessness within me churned
Now it's you
I long for only
You arrived and hope returned

Years have passed
We're still together
Life and love now intertwined
If I thought you'd leave me ever
I fear I would lose my mind

No Tears

There were no tears
When he died
Not from me
Not for him
I cried

They thought I cried
Bitter tears
That's not true
Not then
Not for years

There was nothing
When he died
Not for me
But for them
I cried

Glory Days

Days of longing, quiet laughter

Smiling through a summer haze
Hold you to me, gentle pleasure

These will be our glory days

Sharing languid nights together

Like fine wine is loves sweet praise
Lying in your embrace after
Such will be our glory days

Such Gifts

Such gifts are ours to treasure
The joy of simple things
The many friends along the way
The comfort loving brings

The drumbeat of a summer storm
The air after the rain
The purest blue of clearing skies
The sunlight back again

Evenings spent in reverie
The clarity it brings
Take the time to look around
And love the simple things
