At The End

 

          I feel a heaviness upon my chest, waking me and I do not know if it is my heart telling me it is time to go home or my heart telling me I never loved enough

        Is it something that comes up or something that refuses to go down or is it sadness of massive aloneness that carries so much worry with it

        I want to see my children again, to hear them laugh, to hear them say they love me in whatever way they do, to touch them so lovingly again

        And, if I was to answer right now, at the moment before eternity, what I believe heaven will be like, I would say as comforting as rocking my child to sleep, as enrapturing as making love to my wife, as powerful as my father’s pride, as great as my God makes the greatest of things

I Just Love

 

Whenever I touch the roses they all seem to turn to dust

Sometimes I’m scared to touch you because I feel I’m saving us

The wrong things come so easy

And the right things are never enough

But no pain is my wish for the rest of our lives

Just love

What She Should Be

 

She should be who I want to be with each day

The one for whom I always pray

The reason that I stay strong

The one I hang the most pride on

She should be the better half of me

That’s what she should be

What I Mean

 

Are you as restless tonight as I am as you smell and hold the rose I sent

But still as tired as used lovers when all their passion's spent

 

Are you as cold on the inside as the rain outside as it pours down

But still knowing there's warmth here in arms and hearts bound

 

Are you just as lost as I am when I'm not around

As I am when your body, passion and body cannot be found

 

Can you be the fool I am, to love this man like I love this woman...

 

Whatever it takes, I'm willing to do

Whatever it needs, like I need you

Whatever it wants, I'll give my everything

Whatever it has to have, more than these words I sing

I love you and more is what I mean

 

Are you as lonely as I am reaching out from where you are with tears

with hope your affections not lost wishing your heart had no longing or fears

 

Are you just as sad as I am when my world is falling down

Or as empty as I am, so deep inside, when you're not here in town

 

Can you be the fool I am, to love this man like I love this woman...

 

Whatever it takes, I'm willing to do

Whatever it needs, like I need you

Whatever it wants, I'll give my everything

Whatever it has to have, more than these words I sing

I love you and more is what I mean

 

Are you as sad as my God is, looking from your room with green eyes

like the eyes of an angel are jewels

You're so sweet for you I'd die.

But if you'll tell me what you want I'll be here no matter what...

 

…ever it takes, I'm willing to do

Whatever it needs, like I need you

Whatever it wants, I'll give my everything

Whatever it has to have, more than these words I sing

I love you and more is what I mean

Soft Summer Rain

Sitting in this soft summer rain
My mind opens up to wander through more of this pain
As streams of the skies tears cascade like spilled milk off the counter

 

Hearing the undertones of random words
The mill of feelings churning, burning wanting to be heard
As the burden of doubt rages buried in my inexpressible love for her

 

Making the choice to be still and near
Angry at hope for failing me again, as before, as always, here
As countless miracles await us but for just the timing that seems never come

 

Sitting in this soft summer rain
My mind opens up to more than the realities of this pain
As slowly the clock moves away from the end even now, as you and I will not be undone

Hell of a Woman

 

How blessed I am to see the beauty God’s begun

            So sweet in all it’s sorrow

 

Why have you come to annoy my minds shallow way

            Splaying all my senses array

 

Did you not say yes in the spirits silent form?

            No matter what comes, I’m tomorrow

 

Were my hands warm, yourself so gentle, all ways through

            I’ve had loves, but hope you stay

 

Could I love you? If I shall, I do, remembering

            This price of Heaven to borrow

 

I am an offering, to owe you my life, at your hand

            While I’ll love you in every way

 

You are one hell of a woman

Basis of Our Relationship

 

          You’ll never understand how much I love you. I can only hope to convey, half of the joy I feel when you look my way.

        I’m never giving up on you so let’s let the insecurity go. I pray each night, as I hold you tight, tomorrow might let you begin to know.

        I ain’t ever going to forgive life for keeping us apart this long, and I might push you too hard, and that might be wrong, but this love’s so strong.

        We’ll be all right even if we have our fights. Nothings going to scare me away from what God has gave me. I don’t ever again be free.

        I can touch the mountains when I touch you. I can feel the rainfall when you cry. I can read you thoughts of “I Love you, but I’m afraid” and I can only say to you I’ll try.

        We might be poor but proud. We might end up on the firing line. But I thank the Lord for my blessing, that you’ll still be mine.

        We got roads ahead to travel and books to take us to where we will never see. We got movies to live our fame through, and time to do anything else for you and me.

        We are one, we both are us, and our only basis is our trust, the thoughts that we’re both thought of, and our love.
