By moonlight,
or starlight,
or in the sun's bright rays,
I journey,
guiding my way
by keeping
to the light
as best I can.
Sometimes all seems dark,
then I remember
how the poppy turns its head,
follows the sun's passage across the sky,
then rests in night's cool shadows,
bowing in thanks
to whatever power
makes the stalk
stand straight and strong,
drawing deep from its roots
a wine dark love.
In moonlight,
the garden glows,
silvering the poppies.
And even by starlight
you can tell
shades of darkness
if you try.
So do not lose heart
when vision dims.
Journey forth
as best you can-
bloom when you are able,
rest when you must,
keep faith,
keep always
towards the light.

Simply Say
What are we fighting over?
I simply do not know.
You have me lost in thoughts,
I'm tossing to and fro.
Soon you will be gone,
And you'll blame this all on me.
What can I say or do,
So the mistake we both can see.
Why did you pick this fight,
With me before you go?
I'm all alone and lost,
But of this you do not know.
If you don't say goodbye,
Before you turn and leave.
What am I supposed to do,
Except to cry and grieve?!
I thought our friendship was special,
I thought it meant a lot.
If you felt the same way,
Why are we stuck in this knot?
I don't like good-byes,
But in this we have no choice.
If you won't speak to me,
the good-bye's will come from MY voice.
We've managed through other fights,
But this one's not the same.
I'm not having any fun,
And I won't to stop this game.
I'm not good at soirees,
So I'll do my best with this.
I have one last request,
It is my goodbye wish.
I wish that we were friends again,
Before WE say GOODBYE.
Now that this is off my chest,
I wait and sit and sigh.
Maybe it best this way.
Only time will tell.
If our paths should cross again,
I'd greet you with a smile.
Since wishing is not reality,
I will simply say,
I hope for you the best in life,
Our memories I'll carry with me.

There Are Times.
There are times when words aren’t enough
feelings can’t always be put into words;
because they are inadequate and often escape us
sometimes, there are only feelings.
There are times when all you need is a look;
a silent, wordless connection between souls
an understanding that needs no translation
a natural, knowing stare that says everything.
There are times when all you need is a touch;
nothing spoken - just the gesture of reaching out
touching, silently transferring your energy
conveying something that comes from within
There are times when all you need is acceptance
to know that you are valued as you are
that any changes you make only enhance you more
as you discover yourself.
There are times when all you need is love
no conditions or demands, only simplicity.
to know that for no reason at all
another chooses you over all others.
There are times when all you ever wanted,
was to be completed by another person.
There are times when you need all of these things
there are times when nothing else matters.

I Wish To Forever Stay.
You are the one my dreams are made of,
Full of understanding,
warmth and love.
These feelings I thought for only fairy tales,
But you are the winds that fill my sails.
The honesty we share between us two,
Keeps this connection very dear and true.
We can talk about good times, talk about bad.
Talk about the present and the past that we had.
You accept me for me, for who I am.
My opinions and thoughts you never condemn.
There's nothing of me you ask or expect,
We have for each other the deepest respect.
It's truly amazing how you make my heart smile,
And you do it with such a graceful style.
Keeping my heart smiling all through the day.
And for you, I do thank God, when I pray.
You are the warmth of the sun upon my face,
You're the calm to survive the rapid race.
And when you say "Crislyn", I get butterflies,
Like a little school girl, with puppy love in her eyes.
You can melt all the tension and ease all the pain,
Making all refreshed as a cleansing spring rain.
And looking in your eyes, I can see the sunrise.
And your excited hellos, like all the Fourth of July.
And talking for hours, seems only minutes passed.
And the conversation can forever last.
Your hug, so firm, and yet so tender,
Forces all my fears to immediately surrender.
There's a bond and a trust that's so very strong.
That I feel it is with you I truly want to belong.
A feeling of security, a safe- haven if you may.
And within this dream, I wish to forever stay.
I love you with all of me.
<3

Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise?
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

my everything
Your my everything..
Find me here
speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
that's leading me
to the place
Where I find peace
again
You are the strength
that keeps me walking
You are the hope
that keeps me trusting
You are the life
to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
You calm the storms
and you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You still my heart
and you take my breath away
Would you take me in
take me deeper now
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
Cause you're all I want
you're all I need
You're everything
Find me here
speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
that's leading me
to the place
Where I find peace
again
You are the strength
that keeps me walking
You are the hope
that keeps me trusting
You are the life
to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
You calm the storms
and you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You still my heart
and you take my breath away
Would you take me in
take me deeper now
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
Cause you're all I want
you're all I need
You're everything
