A Welcome Agony

Anticipation is the sweetest torture
An agony welcomed with open arms
Knowing that in a brief span of time
Eyes will meet and hands will touch
Unencumbered by the futility of miles
Untethered from electrons and pixels
The same winds dancing over our skin
Voices unchanged by maddening interference
Living for the moment, cherishing the time
No fear or worry of the future and what may be
No thoughts of the past and what has been
Seeing, hearing, touching, enjoying, being
All that will be important

Essential

Begging you to see for yourself
The imperfect perfection I behold
With my eyes and my yearning heart
To realize that all I write bears a truth
Seeing with a clarity I have never known
Your humanity and strength, light and dark
Compassion and courage, and all you are
My only desire that your inner beauty
Flourish and grow, your heart understand
Why you have become essential to my day

Circles

Concentric circles dissipating quickly
As each new raindrop falls on the puddle
Watching, mesmerized by the steadiness
Mind wandering where it always travels
To you

Words

You talk about these words I attempt to write
How they make you feel, heart thumping
Yet truly you may not understand this
Your words have an infinite power over me
The simple terms of endearment you speak
The more serious discussions of how you feel
But also, sometimes, its a small sentence
Seemingly benign but filled to overflowing
With all the contents of your heart and soul
All of them lift me up during a tough day
Fill my heart with love and joy for you
Growing word after word, moment after moment

Silly Heart

Silly hearts can make the world go round
Singing loudly and badly in the car
Living room dancing during a movie
Or just siting around making faces and jokes
Nothing would be better than your laugh
Musical, ecstatic, as it pours forth from you
Smiling up to your eyes in that way
That I adore when I see it come out
Knowing your silly heart beats with mine

This Moment

No small measure of time to come
Nor miniscule portion of times past
Could eclipse this exact moment
There may be another to come
But right now we are in this one
One that will never return to us
So I will promise and swear to you
This will be treasured and cherished
Hope will reside within me for more
But that desire will never overtake
This exact moment

Magical Elixir

Diaphanous fabric caressing your skin
Graceful, lithe movements accentuating
The flow of the dress, lovely and becoming
Resting my hand on your hip as you sway
Heat of your skin a fire scorching me
Through the the thin gossamer like linen
Resistance breaking down as if you're some
Magical elixir destroying what will I can muster
Moving closer, bodies in sync to the rhythm
Piercing eyes, hooded as you look into mine
Parted red lips whispering to me, husky
Gazing back at you, lost in all we are

A Part of Your Day

The small peeks and glimpses I'm afforded
Into those brief mundane moments of your day
Are what I cherish,  letting me in to the routine
Those normal times that few if any get to see
Are almost like a view into your heart for me
That you wish me to be a part of your day

Thunder

I feel an affinity with the thunder
Its uneven tempo drumming
Across the sky and vibrating
All in its unsympathetic path
So does my heart pound, boom
Faster and louder as you near
Deep bass of its sonic nature
Causing butterflies to flitter
Their susurrous wings inside
Anticiption of what's to come
Thundering, blasting, destroying
All the willpower I have left

Lightning

Once I fell hard, for you, deeply
No conscious choice was made
Like a bolt of lightning striking
Electrifying my very senses
And I thought I'd fallen as far
As was inexplicably, humanly
Possible but I have since seen
I could be no more wrong
Every day, every moment
I slip a little further, deeper
No turning back

Time to Think

Sitting on the end of my worn couch
Hot coffee in hand, aroma wafting
Time to think, reflect, and hope
Think of what has been and will be
Reflect on my feelings, desires
Hope that its understood
That nothing has changed
I still remain yours until
Such time as you decide
That I am not what is best
It may only ever be this, no more
And I may always quietly wish
For it to become what it can't
But I will cherish and enjoy
Each moment and time spent
No promises, no expectations

It took strength and courage to be told what I was told tonight. Instead of being hurt I realized how hard that must have been and now feel even closer. This situation is not one that was asked for but has grown into this scary, wonderful thing. I don't want it to stop. It may only ever be what it is right now but that's OK. I'm simply thankful to have found it. Please know, my heart is yours.

Out of Time

Often I feel myself caught out of time
As if a leaf trapped in the swirling eddy
Of a stream as it flows, its rock strewn banks
Silent observers of my arduous journey
Dipping and turning as I circle and move
Each new whirlpool that catches me out
A new glorious experience to share with you
Passion and wonder present in all I do
Passion...Abundant, unchecked, coursing
Cornerstone of many days to come
 

Clarity

Realizing today with stark clarity
That what I have found with you
And thought I had lost until now
Was something that I've never had
Didn't even know I was missing
Regardless of the duration, long or short
My world has been transformed with
The possibility of all this waking life
Can be and all the joy contained
Finding the ability to once again
See the good in myself and others
Is a feeling that I will never forget

Your Eyes

Today, they're steely blue
Like a storm darkening sky
Harkening forth a tempest
Cyclonic reaction inside me
As I look into them, transfixed
Tomorrow, the green could rise
Flecked with gold, the desire
To swim into them, lost forever
Is overwhelming, intoxicating
Day after, icy and mesmerizing
Spheres of arctic water frozen
Into perfectly cool inviting orbs
Each permutation incredible
Each change projecting you

My Beacon

To this place we've arrived
Unheralded, unhurried
Yet arrived we have
A place of togetherness
Though we be far apart
The lonely miles mean nothing
Through even the darkest night
Your radiance shines outward
An exceedingly bright beacon
Guiding me through stormy seas

Holding You

Moments such as these that I wish
To wrap you in my arms and pull
You close in to my warm chest
Letting you feel and know that
You have people there for you
To talk to, to help you, to love you
Supporting you and keeping you safe
As best as can be done

I Write

I write to stir your soul
I write to rouse your heart
I write to raise your temperature
I write to explain to you
I write to make you smile
I write for you to feel
I write to shout out
To all who will read
What lies inside of
My full heart

Defiance of Explanation

Some coincidences defy explanation
Seemingly trivial and insignificant events
Set on an unlikely collision course
Serendipitous and blissful the result

Forget the Words

Forget the words
All that I have written
As if a broom
Sweeping the fall leaves
Into some oblivion
The words can't begin
To reveal what is contained
Inside my heart and soul
Unable to do justice
To the feelings that escape
As they look for release

Drawn

How
Is it possible
That I find myself
Drawn even closer
Feeling even deeper
To you
Each day passing
No evanescent moment
But lingering
Growing
Completing
All that I am

You

You
You are beautiful
Inside and out
Simply
Incredibly
Ferociously
Heart meltingly
Beautiful

Trouble

Outside the sky is darkening
To the color of blued steel
With the coming of days end
The air warm but with a cool edge
Type of night that makes me edgy
Wanting to cause trouble, have fun
Be my partner in crime this evening
Let the excitement we feel for each other
Carry us away, laughter and danger
To be our compatriots, our confidants
Come away with me tonight
Let's cause some trouble

That Person

That person in your life who cares
About your day, how you are
Whats happening and your needs
Is truly incredible to have
Missing for so long but found now
Only way to thank is to do the same
Show them how much you truly care
Make sure its not missing in their life

Wholeheartedly

Knowing your heart
Its wants and desires
Its hopes and dreams
Its foibles and fears
Is a wondrous thing
Being allowed in
To your world
Is one of the greatest
Gifts you can give
And you gave it to me
Unfettered and unedited
Wholeheartedly I accepted
And I hold it safe

Fuel

Those specific moments occurring
That continue to fuel my fire for you
Making it burn white hot, scorching
Multiply exponentially each day
Gasoline gushing from a leaky tank
Exploding, burning, consuming
With a passion unrivaled before

Small Measure

I want many things
Some for myself
Some for others
But what I want
Most at this moment
Is to see your happiness
Displayed on your face
To be a small measure
Of why you're smiling
To effect your life in
The tiniest way
For the better

Lost

You've got your hair up today
Highlights catching the sun
Simple yet utterly beautiful
Alabaster neck encircled by
A necklace of ivory flowers
Eyes ensnaring me to look
Deeply into their blueness
Today looking like the ocean
You're yearning for, fathoms
To sink into and be lost
Gloriously lost in you

Clamoring

Clamoring to new heights and feelings
Like a drowning man fighting for air
Each time I hear your voice, see your smile
Every benign discussion or deep conversation
Whether spoken or typed brings about
A heightening,  a growing, a confidence
In what we have and what we give to each
A completion of those things missing

I Don't Know

I don't know what to say
But it needs to be said
I don't know what to do
But it needs to be done
I don't know what to write
But it needs to be written
I don't know what to think
But the thoughts come pouring
A constant stream rushing
Of a never ending waterfall
The inspiration only increasing

Bright and Vivid

Bright and vivid shine the colors of your soul
A multi hued field of wildflowers growing
Look dull and faded in their comparison
Their fragrance near lifeless next to you
When you smile your full unreserved smile
The radiance of all the suns in all the galaxies
Pales and they wish they could be so lovely
This is you, all eclipsed by your mind and heart

Waiting

The waiting seems interminable
Mere weeks away but at moments
Could be a thousand lifetimes
Enjoying precious minutes until
I can first see the nonpixelated you
Slightly anxious that the real me
Will not live up to your expectations
Yet confident in how we feel and
That the precise moment when
We lay eyes on each other
All will be perfect

Dockside

Sitting together on the lakeside dock
Wood gently warmed by the days heat
As our feet dangle in the cool water
Setting sun creating fire in the sky
Red, oranges, yellows set ablaze
Your hair gently blowing in the breeze
Hip to hip, that simple touch bringing
Us ever closer as we talk endlessly
No plans, no agenda, simply being

Past events have taught that when I start to write for a person or event that inspires me, it lasts for a few days or weeks and then tapers to nothing. However, in defiance of that past logic I have been writing now for 6 or 7 months. The oddest part is this, instead of tapering off I seem to be writing more and more. There is no end in sight at this point. I am not wanting to write but I need to write. It overwhelms me at times as words run through my head. Best part is the inspiration that makes it enjoyable.

Dancing

Free spirit dancing, laughing
Auburn tresses framing
A smile so bright that every
One in the room must stop
And stare, sharp intakes of breath
As she floats by, ecstatic, carefree

Indescribable

Days like today that I realize
How strong my feelings are
Indescribable and magnificent
When I see your true smile
One that may be only for me
And I hear your voice and I know
That your day is nearly perfect
My heart soars for having you
In my life and in my heart

Touches

Fingers touching fingers
Deft touches as the newness
Of a first encounter fades
And the comfort we've known
In words and voice
Begins to overtake

Orbit

What circumstances brought our spheres
Into such near orbit, hearts and souls
Close proximity despite distance and time
Even the simplest of conversations causing
A lessening of being so far apart and keeps
Smiles growing, widening, staying always
Anticipation of days to come, unbearable
Frustrating comfort of our lives and love

Choice

Sitting alone, darkened room tomblike around me
Like a cool cave cut into the rough mountain stone
Letting go of the day, reflecting on moments, memories
Positive and negative always struggling to overtake each
The age old struggle of the light and dark within us all
A choice is often made to go in one direction or t'other
I choose the good, to let the bad leave and be no more
To make those positive moments last and multiply
Creating them from all of life's minutes and hours and days
New found attitude of inspiration and creation driving me
The choice made

Perfection

Drunk on fine wine and finer conversation
Wide smile permanently affixed as I sit across
From you and hold the gaze, transfixed by
Those sparkling ethereal blue-green eyes
Cascading auburn hair, fragrant and begging
For me to reach out and run my fingers through
Yearning to hold your hand in mine, soft and warm
Feeling the sand under our feet, cool and wet
From the receding tide as the moon and stars
Light our way, in this moment, pure perfection

Heightened anticipation nearly torturous
Like a child on the night before Christmas

Learning

From the physical distance, a wide gulf separating
You've managed to see inside me, my heart, my thoughts
Those mocking miles closed by our conversations and souls
Learning each day about you and you learning of me
Pushing me, inspiring me to transform, become not only
A better man but a better human, living life as it should be
Your resounding compassion and strength, intelligence and beauty
Remarkable, see yourself as I do, not perfect but incredible

Change

Being faced with having to give up something you love is both difficult and heartbreaking. Be it a sport like running or hockey, or an object of sentimental value, or even a favorite food, it's never easy. Watching someone handle that with grace and even embrace it is a wonderful thing. The attitude to not only move on but dig into the new is simply incredible. Once again I'm inspired.

Fluid

Long limbs moving with the graceful fluidity
Of a stream gently rolling over polished stone
She pads softly around the dimly lit room
Yet coiled with an easy, sensual athleticism
Seeming almost panther like, languid, beautiful
Freckled skin lovely and fragrant under my fingers
Pulling her to me, warmth and touch, electric
Lips colliding with sparks, each time even better
Tasting, feeling, all senses heightened, involved

Muse

Every day I wake up expecting
To have no more words to say
Nothing more to write or create
But then without you realizing
Or trying to be my artistical muse
More come in a rush, a torrent
Of language and thought and images

Brilliance

Your smile today has filled my heart
The joy overflowing like a bucket
Held under a faucet for too long
Its brilliance out shining even
The radiant sun burning bright
In my cerulean blue cloudless sky
Seeing you the sun is more jealous
Than even Shakespear's envious moon
Sick and green, was of fair Juliet
My words unable to do justice

Dreams

Dreams remembered and dreams forgotten
Extensions of what has been awoken
What has been brought back to me
Vivid, real, and wistfully hoped for
Seeing each day as if the first time
Storing each in the room you built

Thoughts On My life

This started as a NEED to write something until I realized I'd already written the poem that says what I wanted to say and I could do no better(Heartfelt). So instead I'll share a few thoughts. The last 7 months or so have been many things, a whirlwind, blissful, rocky, transforming, many things. Through it all I've learned, been inspired, been motivated, and most importantly, realized that I'm worth something and that someone out there values what I have to offer. My smile which had faded has returned, my attitude improved, and love has returned to me, love of life, love for my family, and love for the world in general. I feel at a loss to genuinely express how much all this means to me and the value I place on having positivity back in my life. Its a change that I'll work hard to keep permanent so as to honor how I've come to this place. Every day new, every day a gift. Thank you, sincerely.

Whatever Force

Whatever forces brought us
To such close proximity
Of heart, mind, and soul
Whatever power entwined
And enriched our lives
A little more smiles in each
Whatever design keeps us
From drifting apart
As we continue to be
For all of that I rejoice
And each day, a gift

Flourish

Even on these days
Seemingly interminable
When life conspires
Not allowing us to
Catch upon on your day
Be lifted by your words
And brightened by your smile
All remains well and good
Carried through by memories
Fed by the knowledge of
Your hearts feelings
And that we flourish

Rare Glimpse

Catching that rare glimpse
Leaves me breathless
Each expression you own
Remarkable, captivating
Longing for the next

Beauty

The requisite words cannot do justice
To the beauty beholden to you
New must be created to extol
What I can see and feel inside you
The physical loveliness you possess
Is outshone by what is internal
It pours outward with your words
Your actions and your spirit
Those of us residing in your circle
Know and revel in the joy
Of knowing you

Safe

Do anything in my power
To keep you from harm
To see you keep that smile
Radiant and beaming bright
Knowing that you're there
For a friend in need, helping
Guiding through the anxiety
That you feel the worry in
Yourself, the doubt, but
Yet you help, your true
Nature shining outward
Even more do I want
To keep you safe

Smile

Whenever I sit alone
Mind in a thousand places
And I notice a smile
Spread across my face
That is you

Exposed

As I stand in front of you
Exposed, naked, soul bared
There is no fear present
No anxiety coursing through
My heart is layed out
Like it has never been before
And you accept it and me
For what I am and most
Importantly, what I'm not
Not once past have I done
And said and written and
Allowed in to see these
Fathomless feelings and
Inner workings that make up
What is me, always too afraid
But that's been extinguished
Effortlessly by your loving heart

Things You've Taught Me

Keep your feet moving
Forward, onward,
Don't let the roadblocks
Stop you from your
Destination and goal
Smile, be positive
Then head down
And run, run
Push through and
In the end, no matter
The result, success

Aflame

Still aflame
Unquenched
Match head
Burning bright
Hot, red flame
Insatiable

Ignited

Ignited by you, I burn
At times the slow smolder
Of a dying fall campfire
Yearning to be awakened
At others a raging inferno
Blazing out of control
Scorching, searing, flames
Burning all in its path
But no matter the tempo
Always there, never dormant
A perpetual torrent of flame
Setting the world alight

Wonder

Life is truly only ever unexpected
Never ending on the road where
You started but miles and miles
From the end you imagined
Finding the hidden mysteries
That wait along each twisty path
Is where the true joy lies
Experiencing each one in turn
Relishing each new moment
Always looking to the next
And letting wonder guide you

Vivid

Vividly I can recall, no effort
Blue green eyes sparkling
Like a foaming sea, changing
Bright smile lighting up
Everything in its sphere
Voice, harmonious, beautiful
Like a song you want on repeat
Inner beauty radiating out
Imperfections highlighting
All that I love about you
Memories recalled with
Little prompting, always
Fresh in my mind

Spring

Spring blooms emerging from winters grasp
Green buds popping out on forlorn willows
Under our feet the cool grass softly whispers
Hand in hand we saunter, step after step
No words spoken as none are necessary
Simply enjoying the quiet solitude
As the sun beams down upon us
Recharging and rejuvenating swiftly

Indomitable

Though the day be hard
The road interminable
Your spirit troubled
I stand here beside you
Your friends support you
As you inspire us with
Positive words and deeds
So we strive to payback
To remind you of all
Your greatness, your strength
To reinforce that you're
Never alone and always
Carry with you us and
Your indomitable soul

New Day

Awake to this new day dawning
Blissful dreams of you freshly
Imprinted into my mind
Yesterday washed and gone
Anything possible but
Nothing expected, only the
Sweet anticipation of what
May be ahead in this bright
New day dawning

Stronger

Each day stronger, better
Inspiration flowing through
Motivating me to push on
Past the pain, past the fatigue
Growing healthier in body
More positive in spirit
Changes I once thought purely
Impossible, now seem close
Obtainable, within my grasp
Living each day as you've shown

I Want To Dance With You

I want to dance with you
Heels kicked off to the side
All eyes upon your graceful
Motion as you twirl in a
Sexy dress, entrancing, vivid
I want to dance with you
Slow and sensual as our favorite
Song glides out over us
No dance floor even needed
Anywhere the mood could strike
I want to dance with you
Joyful in a warm summer rain
Laughing, caressing your cheek
As the wet droplets caress you
In sync, no music necessary
Just the music we make ourselves
I want to dance with you

Running

Imagination running wild
A runner racing fast
Legs pumping freely
Quickly, endorphins high
Allowing the words to flow
To burst forth, a broken dam
Easily it comes with you
A constant stream invading
My brain and wanting out

Impact

Simply knowing that the choice was made
To keep me in your life despite what has been
Confirms all I have known about you and us
Reinforces what I know of your incredible nature
Plants hope as a seed that you remain my inspiration
What will be will be, no promises, no pressure
Only the sharing of moments as you continue
To impact my life in a way few ever have

The Path

The path will be found
Though no maps exist
No cartographer helping
We'll let our hearts guide
It will meander and stray
The way not always easy
But together the challenges
Will be overcome, the hardships
Met and defeated until the
The full path has been found

Awe

This feeling of awe you've created in me
Rare, like a moonbow, colors bright
In awe of your strength, fighting to help
Those that can't help themselves
In awe of your compassion, loving spirit
Infusing all you do and inspiring others
In awe of your deeply resonating soul
Positivity brimming forth and always
Finding a way to do what needs done
But mostly, in awe of you, graceful, magical

Radiance

Sunshine returned, radiant and shining
Precious time to come, unbeknownst
What moment may be the last, so each
Is treated like the gift it is, priceless
Taking not for granted, holding dear
Positive thoughts and positive actions
Reigning supreme, ruling my world

Heartfelt

The thanks I give is the most heartfelt I've uttered
It's the thanks of a man transformed by you
The gratitude of a man inspired by your strength
By your positivity, by your compassion, and internal beauty
All were replete in my life until you entered
Brought them back and showed me possibilities
World now made new, seeing with fresh eyes
And nothing I may say or do could ever
Thank you enough or repay what you've done
Regardless of the course of our lives
I will forever owe that debt
Thank you

Light

Today a lightening in the dark has come
Holding hope and faith in my heart
Through the dark moments past
Has come to fruition and now
I'm seeing that all I knew has
Remained, that a change may be
But an end will not

Come Back

I miss you, like nothing I've ever known
Please come back to me soon
Let me begin to repair the damage
Let me remind you what you know
That our love is real and worth saving
The mistake will never be made again
My heart will always show me the way
Your soul and mine belong together
You've made that known to me
Taught me how to love again
Come back to me

I know your heart. Countless times you've told me that. I know that as I'm hurting from what I did and from your pain, that you must be in agony. I know you still love me. I know you still know how I feel. If I could go back in time and fix this I would, I'd listen to my heart. The heart that knows yours and knows your love and knows to trust you.

My Badge of Honor

If the anguish I feel
Helps you to mend
I'll gladly wear it
A badge of honor
My only desire
To see you happy
My love for you
Never waning
And I know that
We are better
In each others lives

Rising

Taking the pain
Knowing its meant
For me to feel
To suffer
Praying that like
The Phoenix we'll
Rise stronger

I'm buoyed by hope, by love, by faith. All the things you've helped restore in me. I haven't been cut out which helps me see that things can be restored. The time you need is yours. I'll write, I'll comment, I'll continue to say what I feel with no expectations other than the hope that we will continue. Our love is strong. I deserve any pain you wish to inflict on me, tenfold. Hurt me and then return to me. It won't be instantaneous that things are back to normal but I know they will. Hearts together on the same wavelength cannot remain apart.

Penance

While I can only imagine
The pain I have caused
While I can only guess
At how your heart hurts
The pain I feel knowing
What I have done is deserved
The penance I must pay
Can never be enough
If it were possible to
Take every last ounce
Of what you've felt today
And heap upon myself
I gladly would to restore
Your happiness and love

Hope

A brief but horrible moment of weakness
A loving heart quickly rendered in two
A man simply trying to mend back to one
A love having survived other pitfalls
A hope that since communication still exists
A confidence in all that we have shared
A difficult road I truly expect to walk
A faith in our love

Despite

I remain faithfully yours
Despite the moment of fear
Despite the gargantuan mistake
My love endures and holds
Steady, unwavering, true
I know that I must redeem
Myself and my actions
And I will because simply
Through all to this point
We love

My Plea

Harm has been done, mistakes made
I know I can't erase them but I can
Fix the damage and heal the wound
All the words I've ever written
All the spoken conversations shared
The feelings entwining us together
Still exist, not been undone, can thrive
Yes, real life takes precedence, always
But no less real are the depths we love
You once said it would hurt to have me gone
I'm going nowhere, I will always feel
Just stay in my life and things will be
How you need them to be

Real

An incomparable vision of loveliness
Real, from deep inside her shining out
Resonating with the frequency of her soul
Her compassion, her strength, and her heart
Hours I could gaze into liquid blue green eyes
Very depths of which know all about me

Sunset

Sun sets

Firing the sky

With the endless

Possibilities of tomorrow

Dark of night

A blanket

To make ready 

For the dawn

Uncharted

Wanderlust takes over emphatically

Crossing that bridge unbeknownst

What may be hidden beyond its end

Dare I go alone or will you explore

With me, this uncharted territory

Hand in hand

Compass

When I start to lose my way
You become my compass
Pointing me true, the map
One you've inspired in me
Road not always simple or
Easy but the challenge and
Reward worth every incline
Every obstacle, every ache
Because the end is you
And what we share

Some Days

Days like these, when I know
And prepare for us not talking
I reflect on past conversations
Knowing without a doubt that
I am on your mind as much
As you are on mine, sneakily
Intruding like a thief coming
To steal my every thought and
The inspiration of your actions
Guiding me throughout the day
Each hour filled with those things
That you would be proud I've done

Sensations

Electrical impulses coursing

Diminutive lightning strikes

As my synapses fire in turn

Heart racing, thumping quickly

A frenetic drummer keeping time

To a song, its rhythm supersonic

Velvety Butterfly wings dancing

Whisperlike as they softly brush

And tumble inside my stomach

These are the sensations I feel

As your words cross my eyes

As your voice plays to my ears

As your smile brightens my day

As your heart helps me feel

Often

There's a place I often go
Submersed ever so deeply
Within my consciousness
Labyrinthine passages and
Unmapped corridors leading
Me fathoms beyond what
Others can see or know
To a room, a room built
By you and every memory
We've constructed together
Holding your smile close
Your words, your heart
So I visit, often

Safe

Trusting, confiding, relating
Have always been difficult
Until you and your lovely heart
Came tumbling into my universe
Eclipsing the sun, the moon, the stars
Now they come easily, pouring forth
Sometimes unbidden, unasked
But with certainty I know that
With you, all is safe

In Times of Trouble

In times your mind is troubled
Or stress and  hardship takeover
I always strive to have the right words
Spoken or written makes no matter
Helpless that I can take no other action
So I say, write, and do what I can
To help you through each moment
To remind you of how wonderful
You are and how inspiring you can be
My muse, my butterfly, my sweet

The Gift

Each day surpasses the next
Bouyed spirit made lighter
Shining smile and sparkling
Eyes dancing through my mind
Hoping the right words come
When you need them most
So that I can return the gift
The gift of making each moment
Of every day, better
