introspection, life, life, life,
In youth I looked at life through my front window
Everything was new and unexplored
Expectations flowed like rushing water
Nothing that I viewed could be ignored
Paths untested prompted me to venture
Inhale the fragrance of discovery
Taste the nectar of a love awakened
Embracing life wherever it took me
Today I look at life through my rear window
And savor the experiences I've had
Reflecting once again upon my journey
Accepting what life gave, the good, the bad
The edges of my world are now more rounded
The colors are a softer, warmer hue
However, I have not a favorite window
Through either one I've much enjoyed the view

Dreams,
Forgotten in a sea of agony
Remembered in waves of regret
And the terror of letting go
Love,
Given freely in the warmth of a kiss
Taken quickly in anticipation
Of pain promised to pass
Her warmth surrounds me
Her strength becomes my own
Her skin holds the memory
Of the familiar touch of my hand
Her lips
Wet and wanting
Her eyes
Open and waiting
Her arms
Accepting and mournful
Her body
Needful and forgiving
Lust,
A wishful gift of life
Unable to be ignored or pushed away
As we lay together
Dreams,
Forgotten in the blanket of night
Remembered in the light of day
Increasing the terror of letting go

anxiety, deep, emotions, fate, feelings, imagery, perspective,
Love's light beams from the hearts and souls of Man
but His insecurities shade its glow.
And in shadows, hate and bigotry grow;
though Man's conscience interjects when it can.
But, like a child, He fears the bogeyman;
facing repercussions, He lets hope go.
Scared of storms, He revels in the rainbow;
convincing Himself that it is God's plan.
Evil overshadows the light of good;
anonymity merges with the dark.
And accepting truths, tethered to rumors,
we mesh with the system as robots would.
Yet, the love in Man needs only a spark,
to exorcise fear's cancerous tumors.

This Is How Much I Love You
He lays on the wooden cross
accepting the piercing to his flesh
with thoughts of;
“This is how much I love you.”

love,
I look into your eyes – so beautiful.
Inside them I see reflected myself as you see ME.
The tenderness you feel for me,
the unconditional, forever love so true.
I know you see it too reflected back from my eyes
right to you.
Your gaze is constant and unwavering
like that love which we’ve both come to know.
You see into my soul.
accepting me for all I am.
For this alone – I love you, but for so much more.
Darling, may you ever stay this way,
gazing back at me with love and understanding.
My soul mate, I adore you forevermore.

christian, history, jesus, jesus,
My tale is from the time of Rome
Away across the sea
The tale of one called Jesus Christ
From distant Galilee
He placed Himself at God's command
Accepting all His will
Accomplishing the work of God
From Tyre to Olive's hill
He walked the streets and sailed the seas
He healed the blind and lame
Since Jesus came and changed the world
It's never been the same
He hung upon a cross of wood
To save from Adam's fate
He lived and worked among the poor
And died in low estate
He turned the world right upside-down
With nothing but His love
And now He watches us with care
From heaven's court above

There is nothing I won't do
To try and finally get through
To a world who is not well
Somehow we all tripped and fell
Right into a hole of hate
I just hope it's not too late
For climbing out of the deep
Anger that we slowly seep
Into souls, quickly burning
Out the love, now it's turning
More and more into heartache
When are we all gonna take
A look at what we're all doing
To each other, lets stop screwin'
Around, getting back to when
All humans were happy friends
Accepting others, and not judging
Let's leave all the hurtful smudging
In the past and move ahead
Without any tears or dread

Reveal
Revealing hidden treasure
Opening to view
Bringing unknown pleasure
Embracing something new
Romance long defended
Thwarting every chance
All the times expended
Movements through the dance
Advancing every dream
Repairing moments past
Inviting as they seem
Erased by Love at last
Kindling the flame
Rapture hard to take
Accepting all the blame
Takes away mistake
Souls embracing last entwine
Ascending to a Love divine

I'm not accepting your word of doom
I won't give in and seek the gloom
I'm gonna smile for a while and be so high
I'm gonna reach right up and touch the sky
I'm gonna live my life and feel free
I'm gonna find the good in all I see
You can't reach me with words that hurt
I won't be part of you're dealing dirt
I will laugh and I will love
And I will touch the stars above
This will be my finest hour
Your negativity will have no power
You can't keep me down; my life is mine
You can wallow in mud but I'm gonna shine.

love,
Flaxen stars splash
coal colored heavens
with luxurious
luster that captured
eyes from all lands
of darkness,
embracing love
under a blue moon
radiating-
luring embodied
souls to ignite
passion and romance
abundantly
with old and young hearts
throughout ageless time
regardless of
ethnic background or
sexual penchant
of human
relationships
for the duration
of existing life-
for eternity-
judging not
but accepting-
for love of God…

childhood, family, father,
I remember sitting on your lap and feeling completely content.
I remember sitting with daisies in my hair waiting for the big day.
I remember the smile on your face when I walked into the room.
I remember all the hugs and kisses to make the owies go away.
Most of all I remember the love. The unconditional love that you have always
showed me. You always treated me like your natural daughter. Through all the
love and pain, through all the loss and tears, through all the joys and
disappointments. You have always been there encouraging me, loving me, and
accepting me.
You are the Dad I am supposed to have. I thank God everyday for sending you to
us and making us a family.

longing, relationship, song,
We all know that it's too hard to handle.
Accepting things that are so unreal.
So give it time, to fade away.
Accept the world, for what it is..
So glare at me, and you will see.
My heart's pounding, for some energy.
I'll let you know, and make it clear.
I'll give you everything, I've got to give..
So think it over, it's got to be.
See if you're, the one for me..
We all know that it's too hard to handle.
Accepting things that are so unreal.
So think it over.You must be careful.
See if you're, the one for me..
So think it over, it's got to be.
See if you're, the one for me..

absence, change, deep, emotions, feelings, forgiveness, i love you,
Your failure, thought by your ear
Words of another, your dread spread
My shoulder, never not yours
Reconciliation; your voice heard.
A misery, my own doing
My recoil, accepting the proximity
Sorrow, the feeling behind my joy
The pain untold, but written in silence.
As your tears I feared; your side I embraced
A seat you offered, an honor remembered
Conversation alive again, its fragility accommodated
Your speech to me, always a pleasure.
My smile true; my heart whole
Another day for some; a renewed dawn for me.

retirement, sympathy, visionary,
In getting into a conclusive unit
We may need a saturated balloon
From what we have got is far from accepting
Those who insisted beyond lying pits.
Dear men under siege, from back and forth
who face scratching soil and the scorching sun
Yet have to account for what they have earned.
Who will call who into justice burst forth.
Heaven must have been right reward for them.
But libido instilled in them a love
Of touch, riches, mantle, mansion and fame
Waved their fat claimed hope, achievements... But tough.
No amount of clarion call to guidance
Will stay their world, if they won't be guided.

When
When all of this is over
just as any war been waged before
It’s the lessons that we learn today
that tomorrow’s waiting for
so, help where help is needed
give of time of care of love
be patient and accepting
when it’s you their thinking of
If we choose to be our better self
If we choose to do what’s right
the world we have tomorrow
will be the world we want tonight

love,
Oh, when two fall in love all is entrancing,
magical, romantic- pure in every way;
with bouquets of roses, dining and dancing,
sweet kisses and whispering and great foreplay.
Then, a change as the affair is advancing,
you see little things that leave you in dismay;
there are days gray when you notice your love's flaws,
but love is accepting those flaws with no pause.

forgiveness,
Love is about forgiving
when you really would like to hate.
Love is about letting go
When that seems like embarking on an entirely new day.
Love is about searching
When coldness is all that you see.
Love is about praying one day
Situations will change so each many discover their destiny.
Love is about accepting faults
without complaint.
Love is about giving each other encouragement
Even when emptiness remains.
Just wanted to take a second to express thoughts of love to you.

adventure, travel,
on the road trip I found
love sheds a light on all things
I believe in love we must grow through pain
Traveling through different States and Countries
In truth people all over , we want the same
no mater how far , no matter how long you have travelled
There is a choice between light and dark
In meeting and accepting all people , embracing the differences
in giving and taking , as "John Lennon " wrote
of course I will quote " The love you take is the Love you make "
be a poet , be a visionary, be a artist in design
on the road traveled , whatever road trip you find
always dance if given the chance , be true , be kind.

care,
I believe in lessons
Reasons for building character
I believe in being honest
Chance for meaningful expressions
I believe in accepting all feelings
A reminder that we are human
I will still love if I knew for sure my heart would be broken
I would still give if no acknowledgement of receipt was forth coming
Because my experience reminds me that I am living.
A state to be cherished more than just existing

cute love, i miss you, love, romantic, romantic love, woman, women,
Believing, I choose to care not be silent
You pierce my heart's pleas by trident
You're healing me with your genuine caring
The benefits are bold in what we are sharing
No catastrophe in us could ever possibly be seen
Your gentle touches I always feel what they mean
I'm buying in, heading for your other worldly charms
You're accepting that I always belong in your arms
You got the summers vacant scent; from me in the fall
I continue to give you the love, as I am standing tall
You are the only one I showed up for above and beyond all else
How could I have possibly known, you would return me to myself

angst, betrayal, break up, emotions, feelings,
You believed all he said,
but it was all a lie.
And the saddest thing is,
every lie made you cry.
Your pain and suffering
haunts the angels above.
For your innocent heart
has been damaged by love.
Time's the only thing that
can mend your broken heart.
And dispel depression
when your world falls apart.
You cannot change the past
despite your umpteen tries.
And accepting the truth,
you wipe tears from your eyes.
Today is a shadow
cast by yesterday's light.
And that reality
disturbs your dreams at night.
Tomorrows don't exist
in the moment of now.
And you need to move on
and let love go, somehow.

lost love,
there is nothing more unfortunate
than a love with no ending
a love so pure..
yet with no name to define it
a love all consuming
but in no way have you expressed it.
there is nothing more unfortunate than a love you took for granted
dawning on you late
but is already out on its way
into the arms of another prey.
the love which filled you with joy
day after day..
but you spawned it away
for your mind was not in place
there is nothing more unfortunate than the cry of unrequited love
resonating in the walls of my mind
akin to a bird in a cage
urging to be released..
accepting its fate..
it slumps in despair.
