The Nature Of You

The Nature Of You

As the thunderous clouds explode in the sky.The rain quietly washes away all my worries,It brings my heart to you.As the pounding waves of the ocean take me to new heights.The water softly touches my skin,It brings my body to you. As the torrid rays of the sun wrap my body in their warmth.The wind gently caresses my entire being,It brings my soul to you.As I feel the world around me,Only the glorious gifts of natureCan compare to you.

The Rose

The Rose

Recognition follows, words intended for the heart;rhyme sits in respected silence,dwells as one, one script, one part.Petals closed, brand-new to view, so fresh in innocent witness;come closer, see, unleash the now,circle of splendor, in it's fitness.Quiet, peace, complete concert sways, hear the roar so still;as in this moment, crimson beauty,displays more glory real.In the candor, of the being, all belong, as does this rose;observing the observer, whispering wind,ever growing, no more to close.

My Heart Desire

My Heart Desire

This want of you, ponders my soul,It follows me around, and in my restless nights.It lays heavy in my heart, and in the light of day.My heart aches so, with such pain,That I can't escape.This want for you.This love for you, is a true love,That is simple and true.It stays by my side, on my lonely days.It stays with me in the night,When the world is ever so cold.This love for you.I'm sure somehow, dear, it would be alright,If I had you to give this love to.But as it is, you remain a stranger.So far away from you,So I carry this love for you, with me always.Until one day, you may want my love.This want of you, is pure and simple.This love of you is true and right.

Happiness

Happiness

There is no way you can see into the future,Or go back and change the past,The only thing you can control,Is how long the pain in you will last .And if you look inside of your heart,There's a world of emotions for you to see And when happiness comes from just being alive You will realize all at once that your heart is free.You can rise up above any sorrows,and just live your life the best you can Believing there are always better tomorrows And loving yourself becomes the plan When you use the power that's in your heart And believe in love no matter the fate Sadness will never invade your mind Your love for life is much too great.Now you can always see reasons to smile As you think about all these wonderful things, You believe in yourself and feel no shame And those are the things that make life worth while
