Your music
Touches hearts and souls
Connecting people all around the world
Bringing joy and happiness to millions of people
Thank you

Rain

Rain
Gray skies
Thunder and lightning
Raindrops fall down lightly
Gradually becoming a torrential downpour
Like the sorrow flooding my heart.

Crowned And Crucified

My first SERIOUS attempt at a sonnet.....made tougher by the fact I had the last two lines in my head first!! LOL

Crowned with the glory of your precious love
I believed myself to have won your heart
I dreamed that we would never be apart--
Neither on this earth nor in heaven above.
Passing time gave you every chance to prove
You had more than tender words to impart--
Instead of being struck by Cupid's dart
You showed me a heart that still longed to rove.
Though you knew how to love my body well,
You always managed to make my soul cry;
Longing for more, yet feeling all hope die.
Without you , here in my own private Hell,
There is but one truth left that I must tell:
As love crowns you, so shall he crucify.

6 Short Poems From March 2009

Spring slowly begins
As slivers of green appear
Mixed amid the brown.

True love
Given to you
Unconditionally
Asking for nothing in return
My dear

Someone reached back and called to the past.
What relief is found in whispers of love
Yes it was good

Dandelions kissed by sunlight
Petals tickled by raindrops
Field bathed in green and gold.

Happy
To be with you
Through good days and bad days
Working with you to make a life

Love has been reborn
Once more we're like teenagers
Who can't get enough
Our life may not be perfect
But we're giving it our all.

Never Been Me

For longer than I can remember, I've been trying to find
The life that would make me happy, that I'd be proud to live
But no matter what I do, the thought is always in my mind
That I'm still not content, that I have so much more to give


Looking back now, I can clearly see
That I've been living someone else's dream
And been a pawn in other people's schemes
In all of my life, I've never been me.


From childhood I began to make a plan for life
Only to have others treat it like a huge joke--
I wanted a man to touch my poet's soul, to make me a mother and wife
But I let their ridicule blow the dream away like so much smoke.


Denied the chance to really be free
I've been living someone else's dream
And been a pawn in other people's schemes
In all of my life, I've never been me.


Told that my writing was a waste of paper and ink
I gave it up for a time, let them give me another career
I let those who "knew what was best" tell me what to think
And tried to ignore the lines my muse would whisper in my ear.


Crying for the woman I wanted to be
While I'm living someone else's dream
Used as a pawn in other people's schemes
In all of my life, I've never been me.


I've let men in my life, and they've tried to win my heart
But the woman they've tried to win is not the one deep in my soul
I've learned to keep my true hopes and dreams in a place apart
While I longed to find the man who could accept me as a whole.


Longing for the one with whom I could be a "we"
I go on living someone else's dream
Being a pawn in other people's schemes
In all of my life I've never been me.

Because Of You

Dedicated to my father.

Because of you, I learned to never believe that love was true
Because of you, I learned to walk away and look for someone new
Because of you, I learned to cheat, lie and deceive
Because of you, I learned to never let them see you cry when they leave.

Because of you, I can never give away my heart
Because of you, I must always hold something of myself apart
Because of you, no one ever earns my total trust
Because of you, my dreams of happiness all turned to dust.

Because of you, I'm still a lost and lonely child,
Because of you, there's a tear behind each smile
Because of you, and the example you left for me to follow
Too much of my life has been sad, lonely and hollow.

Sweet Trouble

From the moment we met,
I knew you would bring trouble to my life
How could I have guessed it would turn out to be
a trouble I would crave?
I know I should resist the temptations you offer
And save the two of us from the potential heartache.
But each time I see your sweet face,
my heart skips a beat
And I find it nearly impossible to resist your many charms.
Whenever you're near, I find myself getting deeper and deeper into trouble;
Trouble that brings so much happiness I welcome it with open arms.
