Someday

Someday…someday…you’ll be happy.
The sun will shine, the rain will dry.
Someday, someday, I know you’ll see.
Right now you may weep, you may cry,
But surely you know, someday, someday,
Everything will look up,
You’ll be okay.
Someday, someday.
You’ll learn to trust,
You’ll learn to love,
You’ll learn, you must.
Life gives you a shove,
So get back up!
You know I’m here,
Your friend, your backup.
I know you can,
I know you will,
I’ll always be here for you an’
If you think your life’s at a standstill,
Trust me, that’s why I’m here,
It’s what friends are for.
When you’re filled with fear,
Struck to your very core,
I’m here for you.
Someday, someday, maybe you’ll see
Everything I say is true,
Just trust me…

Silent Pain

This love is like an ocean storm;
Raging through my heart.
Rain and sunshine, chaotic mix;
Alone in the dark.

Do you know the power of love?
So hard to control;
Tearing me to pieces inside;
Release my poor soul.

I need the kiss of peace;
To restore my faith.
Hateful love burns my ravaged heart;
Oh, my pain is great.

My saddened eyes drop crystal-like tears;
I scream out in pain.
A silent scream that goes unheard;
Barely staying sane.

Dropping to my knees, face in hands;
Choking back a cry;
Hurting like I've never before;
Why me? Why now? Why!?

December

Snow sparkles,
In the rising sun,
A diamond palace,
Touched by none.

Peaceful and quiet,
The wind whispers through.
The voice of good times
Calling anew.

To the curtains,
Little feet tiptoe.
Little eyes peek
Through the window.

A cry of joy
Is heard within,
Warm clothes pulled on,
With a great big grin.

Out the front door,
The little boy runs.
His mother in the doorway,
Watching her son.

She smiles as she watches
His carefree delight,
His absolute wonder
At everything in sight.

He played all day,
‘Til he was chilly and blue,
His snow angels made
And his snowmen through.

He went back inside,
Changed out of his wet clothes
Went into the kitchen,
Where from two mugs steam arose.

He sips his cocoa,
Sitting in his mother’s lap.
She reads him a story,
The cat in the hat.

His head begins to droop,
His eyes begin to close.
His mother kisses him softly
And up to his room they go.

She turns on his nightlight
And tucks him in,
But he’s already out,
Peacefully dreaming.

The Butterfly Effect

A butterfly flaps its delicate wings
Flower petals kissed by nature’s soft breeze
A wind-chime slowly, melodically swings
A wind rustling through autumn leaves

The wind flows across the golden plains
Quietly whooshing over the land
Sweeping through the grassy lanes
Making its way to the warm coastal sand

Wind meets ocean with a roar
The powerful surf welcoming its pair
Into the skies the growing wind soars
Spiraling along columns of rising air.

As the wind rises, it’s chilled to its soul
It slows and it turns and begins to fall
Hurtling towards the ocean below
Responding to the ocean’s call

It rockets downward, unchained fury
Heated again by the ocean’s rage
Lashing out, sword of the sea
Mighty waves crashing, refusing to be caged

Unstoppable storm of endless power
Triumphantly, freely, the wind sings
Under its gaze, the bravest will cower
A hurricane born of a butterfly’s wings.

I love you.

That curious feeling.
It starts in your toes,
Makes you float to the ceiling.
Staring into those eyes like a doe’s.

Love holds you aloft;
Keeps you looking ahead.
It’s amazing when you’re caught;
Loving those three words that are said.

“I Love You” are the words,
So beautiful, so true.
They carry my heart;
Starting my life anew.

Life is empty without love;
It needs a purpose, a point.
My life has only one, my dove;
Its you, my heart you anoint.

Remember these words;
When you’re feeling all alone;
Love isn’t only for the birds,
And shouldn’t be disowned.

These words, so beautiful and true,
are the words that I must say to you.
Never doubt their purity, for it’s truer than true.
Those words I must say? I love you.
