Other Thoughts From The Author
Treachery
Lies and treachery shall not be forgotten
May justice stalk you from every shadow
What price to pay for betrayal of trust
A steel web of lies turn to rust
Exhortations ring hollow
False words fail to caress
A cold wind blows between us
There's nothing left to say
All allegiances are broken
All ties now unbound
The silence of distrust has spoken
Suspicion surrounds
The time for redemption has past
Too many deceptions have left you unmasked
Thins cannot be changed now
You are but what we see
A cold wind blows between us
There's nothing left to say
No Dream of Love
For dawn would be too empty
To make the day worth living
I could love no one as I love you
No one could take the place you have made within me
No dream of love would be complete
Without awakening to find you here beside me
How can I feel so secure
In the complete and willful insecurity
Of loving you with all my heart
If I risk everything
To say I love you
Does love mean more than life itself
I surrender to know
What I cannot know alone
To my last dawn
I will love you
Always and beyond
The Space Between Us
You may not like
You may not change
There will always be a space between us
That will always be there
Some gaps may not be closed
That they leave another space
The space between us
Is not the darkness
But respect for two ways to be
Something Smaller Than Myself
A gang of birds flew in my window
And rested on the sill
They spoke among themselves in whispers, chirping
I was free, but they so necessary
That I decided to remain
For something smaller than myself
Something smaller than myself
Forces I have not seen bring to focus
I know my place in nature
But softer beating hearts and my imagination
Fly away together
To a place where eternity seems so brief
With something smaller than myself
Before I even thought, they tore aloft
Banking sharply on a darkening sky
Flashing wings and colder breezes
Spark things left long in waiting
For something smaller than myself
Something smaller than myself
