I Thought

 I thought long and hard
didn't get any sleep
I didn't play my cards
I just began to weep.

I got in your face,
it was a big mistake,
wasn't the time or place,
my sorries are not fake.

I pushed and poked,
dug in deep,
you had me spooked,
hit me off my feet.

My breath was short,
I ran away,
you weren't the hitting sort,
I thought anyway.

I deserved it possibly,
didn't mean to push,
yesterday i was happy,
then it was flushed.

The mark you left wasn't bare,
next to my heart,
where no one can stare,
I know now to act more smart.

I love you more than enough
eight months together,
we got a little rough,
let's not do it again, ever.

I couldn't lose you
even when I told you to leave,
It was a challenge to you,
I wouldn't believe.

Eyes full of tears,
flowing over and over,
it's not been years
i don't want to start another.

You are mine,
and I am yours,
our love is prime,
I hope it stays on course.

If you would have left that night,
I would have fallen apart,
I would not fight,
the blood would start.

You are my reason for living,
you know it is true,
I kept on giving,
maybe too much for you.

I thought long and hard,
didn't get any sleep,
I played my cards,
and didn't weep.

I want you,
I know what I feel,
I want to start anew,
Our love will be made of steel.

FROM SANDS OF TIME

Atop this perch above the sea
My heartbeat seems to rush
As foaming whiteness of the waves
Upon the rocks does crush.

Billowing up in sparkling peaks
Then gently trickling down
Flowing brilliantly out to sea
This Island's sparkling gown.

In calmness, ripples shimmer,
As back out to sea they go,
They'll now retreat from sands of time
To create another show.

As darkness hides these footprints
In the sand, there left behind,
To shroud the very existence
Of this witness of mankind.

Then way up high in darkening sky
The pale moon will display
As those shimmering reflections
Upon the waves do play.

And softly now each prayerful thought
My mind is swirling through
Continually sent from within my heart,
From within my heart......to You!!!!

Lost, Along The Way

As years, and tendencies .. have changed
as eyes .. are opened, wide
as loving years .. and hopes, remained
I swallowed .. all, my pride

I choked .. back years .. of silent, thought
gave nature .. it's own, head
left ruins .. in the wake .. I wrought
came back .. from, walking dead

I saw a world .. that changed, so much
but lost .. it's meaning, there
I wonder through .. the narrow .. streets
and somehow .. didn't, care

'What, had I lost?' .. along .. the way
my spirit .. 'Had, to know!'
the wanting back .. of just .. a kiss
perhaps .. a taste .. of snow.
