Home At Last

For years I searched for a home--

That one place where I could be me

And be accepted just the way I am.

Imagine my surprise

When I realized that home

Isn't a place, but a person.

Home is you...your love, your acceptance...

And with you is where I need to be.

You"ll Never Know

You'll never know

The moment my heart shattered

You'll never know

Just how much it mattered

You'll never know

All the tears I've cried

You'll never know

How much this feels like goodbye

You'll never know

The words I long to say

You'll never know

Because you're pushing me away

You'll never know

For I can never tell

You'll never know

That I'm in this silent Hell.

This one woke me up in the middle of the night, already finished in my head....still amazes me when that happens!!

Passion Ignited

Like a bolt from the blue,
Unexpected and intense,
An added level of emotion
Drawing them closer and closer.
Words flowed like a fountain,
Flooding their minds
With truth and desire.

The Dance

Tentatively they dance,

Drawing close, backing away.

Neither wants to be the first

To put words to the feelings,

Afraid of rejection;

Always looking for encouragement

In the other's words and actions.

It's Up To You

I can't make you feel what isn't in your heart

I can't make you tell me that you care

I can't be the only one reaching out

I can't be in this circumstance alone

I don't know if it's all in my head

I don't know if it's what you really meant

I don't want to play the fool again

I don't want to chase another dream

I won't ever say a word

I won't ever make a move

I won't ask you for forever

I won't ask again.

Inspired by some of the music I was listening to this morning.

The Past Revisited

Wishing the good times could have lasted
Wanting to forget the bad times
Wondering "What if?" about the road not taken.
And yet, deep in my heart,
Knowing the life I have is the way it was meant to be.

Desires

I want--I need--
Always looking for something more.
Today my eyes were opened.
Each desire--fulfilled or not--
Reveals another piece
Of the enigma that is me,
Drawing me ever closer
To the ultimate answers in You.
