Unending Sadness
Black and red
Her colors they do gleam
Hair flowing down her back in an elegant stream
Baby’s breath clutched in her hands
With her every step her heart makes demands
Turn back now; turn away! Her heart does plead
Like crimson rivers down her arms she does bleed
Heart to Heart
Through numerous years
Despite thousands of tears
By my side you remain
Your love a salve for my pain
Through the miles that separate us physically
You remain with me always emotionally
It’s not like its blood in blood out
More like heart to heart
I tattoo your name on my heart
Forever I will cherish your love
And no matter what, know that we will never be apart
Shaye
Sweet disposition, tender, loving and kind
When we’re together we always have a good time
Happy and healthy with a love of running
Laughter, joy and playing games
A new member of our family, whom we love with all our collective hearts
Youthful and energetic, she’s a ray of sunshine
Everyone’s friend, she’ll steal your heart, easy as child’s play and that is our beloved Shaye.
A Love Once Lost
Lost in this dark place to which your rejection has banished me
I look up and see the sun has been replaced by an unending velvet midnight sky
I find that the taste of your kiss still lingers on my lips
And my traitorous heart still whispers your name
Prey
Looking deeply into your eyes
I can hear her heart’s silent cries
You think of her as nothing more than an easy mark
But now I’ve got you in my sights and you’re about to hear this bitch bark
Like a wolf I protect my pack
And I’ve always got my girls’ back
Friendship
Although we may not be blood
I’ve got nothing but love
For a group of very special guys
Who are always the ones to dry the tears
That my heart silently cries
Taking me in your arms and holding me close
In a loving and brotherly embrace
All the pain and anger drains
Like so much blood from a mortal wound
And I can feel my strength and joy return
With an open mind you listen to me rant
Offering advice when it seems that I can’t
Control the anger I feel inside
Life
I travel down this road
But I know I don’t travel alone
Even if we’re not together
You’re beside me every step I take
You guide me through every decision I make
Like a guardian angel you always protect and watch my back
As protective as any wolf for a beloved member of their pack
Ode to Insane Clown Posse
Your words have brought us closer together
For the love of your music
You’ve helped us both through some tough shit
Like an anchor on a ship you’ve seen us through some fierce storms
You may be just two guys from Detroit
But to my brother and me you’re so much more
Dad
Eyes a warm caramel brown like an ice cold Dr. Pepper
Hair thick and dark as a raven’s wing
A smile that could rival the sun in its warmth
With a heart as wide open as a country sky
Strong arms with which hold his daughters in a loving embrace
Hearing his voice never fails to bring a smile to my face
Lovers’ Dance
Moving with fluid grace
Her hair flowing out behind her like a cape
Her skirt collecting tiny crystals of ice
As she walks along the snowy ground
Her favorite blossoms artfully arranged
To appear as a lovely crown
Baby’s breath and roses she clutched in her hand
Down the aisle she walked to her beloved groom
An irremovable smile played her lips
As she anticipated the taste of his kiss
Alas instead of the sweetness of her beloved’s lips
It was the copper of her blood she did taste
Instead of the love that she anticipated this day
A pain sliced its fiery blade through her chest
With tender reverence she was gently laid to rest
And rain fell as though tears from Heaven’s angels
At the welcoming home of one of their own too soon
Stalker
Stalking his prey with the fluid grace of a true predator
Eyes and ears alert to every sound
His pulse pounds out a strong tattoo
As excitement pulses through his veins
He watches as she slowly moves into the trap he’s laid
At home safe and sound she should have stayed
Betrayal
Looking deeply into my eyes
Tell me what it is that you see
Do you see the tears that I cried?
Do you see how deeply your betrayal cut?
Into my flesh like a dull bladed knife
Your words of love spoken with a forked tongue
You never really cared for me
You don’t know how much my heart bled
How blindly I followed where you led
Unhealthy Love
A heart full of hatred
A soul black as night
Looking into his eyes
She knows there’s going to be a fight
Why won’t she leave friends want to know?
How can a dove with broken wings ever take flight?
To Love Again
Every time I see you my heart skips a beat
And you fill my blood with passion’s heat
Only you are the object of this fire
It is you whom my heart does desire
Your kiss I long to taste
I only hope my love won’t go to waste
For many times before
Love has knocked upon my door
Only to leave me out in the cold
When the one I loved loves me no more
Heartache
Take up sword and shield, my love
So as to guard your heart from the dragon
Awaiting you at the door
With a forked tongue
And coaxing voice
This serpent gives you your choice
A love filled with pain
And lonely days out in the rain
Heartbreak
Once more I hear them fight
And again my heart tells me this isn’t right
Slamming doors and hurtful words
Exchanged between them
Feeling like a child once more
I find that I can’t help but long to cry
Knowing my sister’s he
art is breaking
All I can do is heave a heavy sigh
And hope that one of these days
She comes to her senses and realizes
What a precious thing she’s tossing away
With both hands
The love of a good man
Is so hard to find
Isolation
Sitting here in the prison that is my room
I find myself contemplating my eternal doom
How long must I wait for the bite of the snake
Coiled in the corner of the room biding its time to strike
With serpentine grace it slithers around the room
Obsidian eyes gazing deeply into my own
Almost as if it can see all the way into my soul
Friendship
Precious as pearls
Radiant as rubies
Each friend a treasure
Of love and value beyond measure
An Angel’s Heartbreak
A tarnished halo sits above her head
Blackened wings rest against her back
Tears she does cry as she wishes to change her track
For the love of another
She cast her wings aside in anguish
Now sent down from Heaven she does reside
Feeling her heart steadily growing cold inside
Friends
Together forever
Always by my side
As constant as the ocean’s tide
With love in our hearts
We face any odds
We greet each other with smiling nods
Our hearts beat as one
As we’re all under the same sun
