Poetry - A Garden of Love

A Garden of Love

It began with that special spark –
Some sixty years ago.

Marie and David began to grow –
A garden made from love and trust.

They planted ideas that truly matter –
And surrounded them in rainbows of light.

They’ve enjoyed many beautiful adventures –
And weathered storms of doubts and uncertainty.

They’ve raised four wonderful kids –
Who’ve reflected well upon their values.

The years have come and gone –
Like leaves whispering into the wind.

Both sing with voices to one song –
With many years of happiness between them.

A gift of love so warm, serene and kind –
Comes from a friendship matured by the years.

There is a blessing knowing these two –
And a garden nurtured and filled with love.


Written for Mom and Dad – For their 60th Wedding Anniversary

Poetry - Loving, Believing

Loving, Believing

I believe in you so much,
I am always here for you.

Oh, when I think about you,
I'm so inspired and filled with love

I look forward to each new day,
So, I can love you even more.

We are here for each other,
Giving support and help always

Ah, precious, spread your wings,
And soar with me to fulfill our dreams

We are so alike in all that we feel and do
Knowing what it takes to be best friends

Listen to me and know your heart,
I'm here to wipe you tears away

I know someone very special, YOU!
Because we have Loving, Believing

Poetry - Precious Love

Precious Love

My desires for you...
are so very real.

I desire to touch you...
kiss you, hold you close

You ignite such strong feelings...
inside me because of your love

The emotions flow and oh, Love Flower...
our love is forever and ever

I hope I am the one just for you.

You know that I will always be true

I feel so very happy and blessed...
because you love me, and I love you!

I Love You my Precious Love


For my wife and best friend on Thanksgiving

Poetry - My Sunrise

My Sunrise

My sunrise aglow in the
bright of the day

Warm embracing rays of light
to touch my skin

Kissing me passionately
in the wake of the day

Becking me to rise and
love you yet another day

Soothing my heart telling
my heart is pleased

Thanking God for allowing me
this day with you


Written for my David

I
Love
You

Poetry - Dad: My Special Friend

Dad – My Special Friend

Come here so I can tell you the story about Dad
He was a special man and such a wonderful angel.

He was my true hero and my very best friend
He showed me how to dream and expect the best.

He was so humble and always here to listen
He seemed to understand even before I spoke.

He was a wise man who gave such practical advice
He had a blessed life and made such a difference.

He encouraged me to pursue my dreams in life
A higher degree and a life of helping others.

He always made sure that everyone was included
He reached out to those that needed it the most.

He challenged me in so many important ways
He accepted me for all my ideals and thoughts

I found a canvas to paint with my own rainbow colors
As he opened the gateway with the key of knowledge

He came to me as the eagle lifted him toward heaven
At eternal peace with the flame burning brightly.

I will miss you so very much my precious Dad
You will live on always in my heart and soul
Showing me the way to live and know what matters

Thank you Dad for loving me like you did
And being my special friend.

Poetry - Knowing, Loving

Knowing, Loving

I know how special you are to me
For you are here to love only me

I care s o very much about you
And we stand here together
In the battle of life and love

I reach out to touch and have you
And you pull me closer to you
And say "David, I love you so much!"

Life often can be hard to comprehend
When dear ones depart from our life

They live on always in our hearts
To show us the true way to live

You are here as my sweet Nicole
And we see the same with such eyes

I will go on to live longer and know
Not only because of all I am
But, because you love me so much.

I give myself and dedicate my life
To the one I truly love, namely YOU!

There are too many pains and suffering
But, I know that I can make it now,
Since we have become joined as lovers

Babe, come here to hold me close
And, yes, let us live and love truly
And know the fairytale can come true

There are great joys in this world
When you have each other to believe
Knowing, Loving you, only you, Nicole

Words written for my precious wife
and very Best Friend, Nicole Lynn

David asked Nicole to marry him on October 30, 2006 and she said "Yes!"

Poetry - The Call

The Call challenges us to discard what we know of ourselves as seen through other people and the world around us, and to delve deep into our own selves to find who we truly are. There is nothing as essential as what we believe ourselves to be, and that it's not necessary to search for meaning in other people and the world's agendas; just be confident of our own distinct gifts, challenges and dreams.

The Call
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

I have heard it all my life, A voice calling a name I recognized as my own.

Sometimes it comes as a soft-bellied whisper.Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.

But always it says: Wake up my love. You are walking asleep. There's no safety in that!

Remember what you are and let this knowing take you home to the Beloved with every breath.

Hold tenderly who you are and let a deeper knowing colour the shape of your humanness.

There is no where to go. What you are looking for is right here. Open the fist clenched in wanting and see what you already hold in your hand.

There is no waiting for something to happen, no point in the future to get to. All you have ever longed for is here in this moment, right now.

You are wearing yourself out with all this searching. Come home and rest.

How much longer can you live like this? Your hungry spirit is gaunt, your heart stumbles. All this trying. Give it up!

Let yourself be one of the God-mad, faithful only to the Beauty you are.

Let the Lover pull you to your feet and hold you close, dancing even when fear urges you to sit this one out.

Remember- there is one word you are here to say with your whole being. When it finds you, give your life to it. Don't be tight-lipped and stingy.

Spend yourself completely on the saying. Be one word in this great love poem we are writing together.

Poetry - Our Burning Hearts

Our Burning Hearts

Our burning hearts reach out now
So full of love and such a need

I see the flame burning so brightly
We love each other with such passion

The waves and wind bring us closer
As the eagle lifts us toward heaven

Where there was once such confusion
There is freedom that fills our hearts

I am finally at home with you
Our love gives me such clarity

There is such beauty within you
As we danced together once again

I am so intoxicated by our love
Our hears burn with such passion

Poetry - Once In A Lifetime

Once in a Lifetime

Once in a lifetime
A special woman appears
To touch my heart
With a love so true

She is the love of my life
An angel so very pure
Never have I loved one
as deeply as my Nicole

One Hug
One Kiss
One Life

Makes such a difference.

She challenges me so, but
Accepts me for all I am
How lucky I am - I know!
To have her to love and hold

Nicole, I will always love you
Protecting your from harm
Showing you new ways
And loving you as your man

You have eyes for only me
That know only the truth
The key to her heart
Is to love her true

Come her my precious one
And hold me for awhile
We have found a magick place
With a love that comes …

Once in a Lifetime!

Poetry - My Angel, Our Dreams

My Angel, Our Dreams

I've never known an angel like
The one known as Love Flower.

She came to me upon a dream
To share a life and way so real.

I've been thru so much pain and sorrow
That I thought, oh no!, more of the same.

But, for once I feel an inner strength
A place where sweet dreams come true.

Precious angel, show me the way so true
Where dreams appear and true love grows.

"Take my hand dear one, and know"
I will lead you through the night.

Colors wrap you in safe possibilities
Such beauty to be made by only us.

Your wings seem so tired my dear
Cause I've been thru the same as you.

Close your eyes and open your heart
And let us begin our life together.

Such smells come upon the wind
To saver all that is my Love Flower

Let us taste the sweet desires of life
A feel of harmony that comes from inside.

You are the one, our dreams as only one
Use the keys now in your hands.

Oh, see the dreams of love and light
They are here for us to discover together

Ah, the love that was just a dream
Is now inside you and me

As we love each other
Forever
and
Ever

Stars and Fireworks

Oh, the passions that I have for you,
It builds and becomes so intense.

The thoughts and desires I have,
As lips meet, it happens once again.

The heavens light up with our love,
Filled with all these bright stars,
And the bursts of magick fireworks,

Oh, Nicole, you are my one and only!
Your David comes to you to be yours.

We are touched by the light telling you
The love we share is so true and bright.

You understand what it takes to
Tame the fire insides ourselves.

Thanks for being there for me,
And darling to love me forever.

Poetry - My Heaven on Earth

My Heaven on Earth

She came into my life from afar,
Full of pain, mystery and desires.

I knew at once she was my best friend,
The one woman that I would love forever.

You were in prison and I did wonder,
But it did not matter, for you are me.

I love the way that you love me so true,
And how we balance each other so well.

You are so sensual, the way you love me,
All those passions that are so magical.

It is cool the ways that we talk together,
Learning, and teaching, with give and take.

I want to spoil you as you so deserve,
Love, flowers, and all those little things.

We are here to discover everything together,
And it's special how complete I feel with you.

We share a passion for life and have it all,
A trust that tells us we are truly soulmates.

I love so much about my Love Flower,
She brings such desires and needs in me.

I feel like singing and dancing all day,
For you have brought me a heaven on earth.


Thank you Nicole Lynn (Patterson), my wife and best friend, for loving me and being the love of my life.

Poetry - Tears

Tears

Tears seep upon flesh
to die on parted lips

Gasping whispers
Bitter touch
Compulsive emotions

Standing alone - envy of drowning self

Tainted screams of yesterday
Dreaming, love me raging

Be the life of me

Soothing blood flows
Cooper puddles, scent of misery

Captivated laughter, deep within
Abused skin
Scared deeply

Teach me
Teach me

Blood runs cold, ecstasy unfolds

A facade of tomorrows to come
Tears of reality
Are near death

Poetry - A Friend is a Treasure

These words say to much to me - what a friend is really about. It's caring about them and know there is a risk in sharing yourself with others. Some may deceive or even play games with your heart. But those that are true are the ones that will stand by you over a lifetime. Enjoy!!


A Friend is a Treasure

A friend is a treasure

You hold up to your heart

Each one is different, to be sure

To be learned from and cherished

A friend is a charm

Like the charm on a bracelet

Each independent and unique

But still part of a whole, a chain

A friend is the smile

That creeps up on your face

When you wear that chain

And one charm shines, catches your eye

A friend is forever

Adding their link to that chain

That grows into a family-like necklace
Each charm forever against your heart

~Written By Dobhran~

My King

As Queen to the king
I give you my Everything

I rule only cause you stand with me
Equal as a pair should be

You are the king that rules the heart
That is beating upon the chest plate
Of the one who loves you

Upon the air she breaths

Poetry - Dream Weaver

Dream Weaver

I standing here thinking such thoughts about you!
Ah, here is the Dream Weaver to answer me true.

Holding our dreams in the palm of his hands,
To answer them with the songs in our minds.

My hearts has many memories and wishes for you,
That when joined together with desires, come true.

Night shadows fold across the blackened sky,
Feeling your intensity as the lightning strikes.

The stars kiss the morning as the sun rises,
Bring visions of you that become reality.

Oh, my Dream Weaver, I hold you in my heart,
Until the day you come back to become mine.

Poetry - The Invitation

The Invitation is a profound poem that touches deep feelings and emotions within us. Oriah Mountain Dreamer invites us to confront the varieties of human experience, from desire and commitment to sorrow and betrayal, and challenges us to open repeatedly to love and live.

The Invitation
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love - for your dream - for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain - mine or your own without moving to hide it - or fade it - or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful - be realistic remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Poetry - Butterfly

Butterfly

Young, beautiful and delicate with so much mystery,
She flutters, flies and plays,
Carrying with her more love than she ever dreamed of.

Like a rainbow, she colors everyone's life she touches.
If only she knew her true beauty comes from within.

She will not stay long
So enjoy her while you can
For once you fall in love, she is gone.

She spreads her wings and flies away,
Leaving only a precious memory.

Poetry - A Blessing for My True Love

A Blessing for My True Love

I have been blessed with a Love Flower
An angel that God has sent to me

You are a dream come true by all that you do
You fill my heart with such happiness and joy

You ignite such passions and desires within me
That tells me that you are the One for me

I look into your eyes and see such a sparkle
From the light and joy inside your soul

We both have our share of pain and deception
But now our love has bonded our souls together

Ah, what happens when two fragile hearts unite ?
It’s a gift of love from God that we share

I knew from the day we met you were special
You know how much you mean to me

I hear the sound of your voice, oh joy!
It whispers softly in the wind, “I Love You”

Come here and place your arms around me
You comfort me and my spirit is so happy

You heart beats strongly with such need
Drawing me inside your inner soul

What you do to me, my heart is rushing a mile a minute
What are your wishes my dear, what do you want ?

You are a Cinderella whose wishes can come true
As I discover that you are really just like me

Does ‘happily ever after’ really exit ?
Too often I find a broken magickal spell inside a dungeon

But, just when I think the angel has left me behind
I find a canvas painting filled with rainbow colors of love

Oh babe, come here, touch me, let me feel safe again
I will cradle you safely in my strong loving arms

You have discovered the real me, kissing away the pain
Your sweet hands heal the scars upon my heart

Please hold me close enough so our hearts beat as one
Rock me gently asleep putting the cold world outside

My eyes close, you join me in such sweet dreams
Ah babe, I miss you, and love you with all my heart

The powerful gift of our love is so pure and everlasting
I see the two red roses you hold in your hand just for me

Look at the bond between our divine spirits
That tell you that we are united as one

I am the gatekeeper for the love inside your castle
You hold the key that finally sets ours spirits free

My name is engraved upon your heart
We will live forever and ever as soulmates

Poetry - Tender and Sweet

Tender and Sweet

How deep is my Love

The ocean a cup compared
The Milky Way never ending

I am but a Star
Upon the Galaxy
Of Your Heart

Bursting with love to grasp
To shine within

I will take hold
Never let go

Tender and Sweet

Is the love you give to me
The sun but a guide
The moon a sleeping embrace

I am but a person
In this world

You are but a man
Soulmates to the end

Sing Me a Song

Sing me a song darling
That will ease my pain.
And show me a way to your heart.

Tell me a story, one just for me.
That will bring wholeness to us again,
And teach me to understand you even better

Show me the medicines that truly matter
That will heal our inner souls.
And provide lessons from the Spirit.

Heal my heart so that I can see again
Bring that gift of love just to us.
So we can live through each other,

Forever!

Poetry - Help Me to See

Help Me to See

Please help me to see
Above the pain and deception

There are times when I don't
Really know quite what to do

I turn around and I feel
The anger growing inside me

Don't get lost as the days go by
It's too easy not to see or feel

There is another much like me
She has been thru and back again

And feels the darkness like me
But there is a light inside too

For we have been given a gift
To dream and love together

So give me your hand and be
The one who loves me true.

For my guide and angel, Nicole Lynn (Patterson)

As memories cloud my mind
Shadows fade away
The fears of yesterday and shame
Of today no longer exist

How can I help you understand?

Be Awake

Love yourself and be awake
Today, tomorrow, and always

And bring sorrow to its feet

And accomplish a harder task
And know that you are doing it all

You are the Master of your life
And bring another to share all you are
And together you'll be full of joy & love

David: A Poem

Like Autumn Leafs, He Carries Me Away.

Wrapped within His Strong Embrace.

Slow, Easy and Wild His Breath Flows,
Of Words upon my Cheeks

Dancing the Weathered Storm of Romance

Seasonal Belief of a Love So Deep.

Oh, to be Rooted Deep Within,
The Moister of His Rain.

How Could I But Love the
Rays of His Golden Sun.

Awaking Like a Flower,
I Am His to Desire … Smell and Devoir.

Come Love Me Forever.

Love -- Nicole

Poetry - There Comes a Time

This poem was inspired by the book Message In A Bottle by Nicholas Sparks, which talks about about real love, but and also takes one on a journey of self awareness, and opening up to the possiblities that life has to offer.

There Comes A Time

There Comes A Time In Your Life -
When You Need To Stop For a Moment -
And Listen To the Song In Your Heart.

Each Day Is a New Beginning -
So Believe in the Dreams That You See -
And Take the Steps To Make The Difference.

I Saw an Angel Dancing Across the Sky -
Who Spoke to Me in Words So Clear -
"Open Your Eyes To Your Heart's Desire."

Then I Heard a Voice From Afar -
Who Told Me That the Time Was Near -
For the One That Was Meant For Me.

She Came Into My Life In Ways Not Expected -
And I Knew At Once She Was the One -
To Come Into My Life To Change Me Forever.

I Have Found the One Woman Who Really Matters -
The Person I Was Meant to Met And Love Forever.

She Is A Person Rich In Simple Treasures -
Giving to Others in So Many Ways -
Touching My Life With Such Wonderful Feelings.

She Is the One Person With Whom I Am At Home -
She Is My Best Friend In So Many Ways -
And Seems To Know Me in Ways That Matter.

No Wind Or Trouble Can Change Our Love -
Because This Is a Love That Is Meant To Be.

I Thank God For the Love of My Life -
And Say A Prayer For This Special Love -
That Has Brought Us Together Forever.

Poetry - Our Road Together

Our Road Together

There is a road to our hearts,
That is not so well traveled

It is in that place that I found,
A special angel, the one for me!

Let our new journey begin anew,
With purity & beauty in our souls

Ah, as we turn around for a blessing,
A light touches & surrounds us.

There is so much about life to discover,
Meadows, flowers and even butterflies!

Come forth and let us walk together,
Knowing how the world is now us.

You take me into your arms,
And we feel a love so very rare.

There is finally someone so wonderful,
On the road that we walk,

Fear disappears, the past is broken,
You accept me for all that I am,

Come let us build our house together,
On that road filled with love & happiness.

Inspired by my Nicole Lynn,
who shows me how to love and sing!

Poetry - Life

Life

Never have I felt so empty inside
So lost to hope and all mat is life.
Stuck in a world where people don't see
Eye to eye.

Lost in a world where chances are taken
And faith opens doors.

I cry, I scream, I bang my hands against the walls,
Yet I'm getting no where at all.

I could climb the walls,
I could break everything in sight,
I could lose my mind
But my heart will not die.

Never have I felt so empty inside,
so lost to love
and all that is alive.

Stuck in emotions that never seem to fade,
If it is a bad dream, let it go away,
For I will not be able to handle the pain
For I am slowly going insane.

With blazing passion in her eyes.

She sings the songs from her heart,
That says that she wants only me.

Make sure that you understand her well,
Strong, sassy and so full of life.

Don’t you ever under estimate her,
For she knows just what she wants.

Accept her for all that she has and done,
And feel her gentle presence come alive.

With each breath that she takes,
I come to know her even better.

She is the Love Flower of my life,
And the only one I could ever love.


A beautiful poem written on Valentine’s Day
for my Nicole Lynn (Patterson)

Poetry - Love Bites

Love Bites

Prickly the feeling
Comes and goes

Rapidly it’s flowing
Within me

Flesh and Bones
Soul and Heart

You knew from the very start

Adored and Lured
My spell pulled you under

Bitter sweet, love and so tasty
How you took me with love bites

Poetry - Rainbow Colours

Rainbow Colours

She came into my life quite suddenly
Full of rainbow colours just for me

My heart leaped with joy when she took red
And touched my heart with a love so pure

Flowers are now in bloom everywhere
The orange sunrise is but a beginning

A new sunlight shines upon me as
She opens her eyes and sees only me

She called to me, "David dear, follow me"
Let us play together in fields of dreams

Our love is as pure as the deep blue ocean
Bringing our lives together in a symphony

Magick rainbows surround us as we kiss
Giving birth to new suns, moons and stars

We have become a royal couple so true
Full of hot passions and such desires

Come paint my body with rainbow colours
Covering me with your love so true.

Poetry - I Love You

I Love You

I ponder with Enlightenment
For my Heart's desire

I wonder in a bless for
My true love to call upon thee

I love you, shall we talk aloud
of all the world holds

For I am in love with a Viking Sage
Who's name is one of meaning Kingsnorth

Ah, to me he is simply David the Devine

As I ponder, wonder, and love you

Poetry - You Are Me Now

You Are Me Now

Love Flower has touched my heart
And become such a part of me

She fills me with kindness and love
To enchant me with her beauty

Her lips sing of such mysteries
Her eyes glow with the joys of life

I am glad that you have touched me
You are now such a part of me


Inspired by an ancient Cherokee Prayer

Poetry - Ragdoll

Ragdoll

I am a ragdoll, all torn to pieces
You were the stitches that held me together
Then left for rags to clean

Up the mess you left of us
Abused and used for all your needs
Never once did you notice me

For all my stuffing was falling out
for you to see
Torn and Trashed

Someone found me, seeing the real me
Took me home with love and care
Loved me back together again

Stitches made with golden thread
Together as one I sit
Beautiful in a glass case

I belong to nobody but me
Can you even imagine
Rags to riches

And to hell with you from me

Nicole Hutchins - 2003

Poetry - Butterfly Dreams

Butterfly Dreams

I saw the wings of butterflies
In a dream so true

They showed me the way
To the beauty in my soul

They are the guides to the One
Who shows me the way so true

You are a part of my journey
And have become a part of me

Butterflies and roses so true
Come fly with me and be

For my dear friend Rose Barber

Poetry - My Road

My Road

It is ironic the way I feel living in the unknown,
Not knowing which way to go.
Having no plans, no goals.
Looking at the walls, starring at the bars.
I can smell fear and hatred in the air
Yet I see not one tear.
Please God, tell me it's not so
That life will one day carry on
Is there a light at the end of my road?

It is ironic the way I feel,
Living in the moment got me no where but here
Having a habit, not giving a care.
Now I'm looking at the photos of memories gone by,
I can feel the years driving at my mind.

Yet, I can't shed one tear.
Please God, don't let it be so,
Let there be a light at the end of the road.

My Dear Child

This poem is probably my favourit one
because I see hope in it. Yes there is light at the
end of the road, bright and beautiful light, almost
as beautiful as you. Look to God & pray with me
that soon you walk the right path in the wonders
of a new life ahead. Remember beauty is within
not always on the outside.

Poetry - Spirits

Spirits

Spirits, talk to me!
And show me the way

I need your guidance
For protection and being

Mighty voices echo thru the nite
While stars watch over me

Please save someone who is lost
Giving me hope and understanding

Come to me now oh please
For my heart is crying inside

I will ride the lightning to
Find insight into the soul

I will walk in beauty
Loving my special one

There is Nowhere to Run

There Is Nowhere To Run

There is nowhere to Run
Nowhere I can hide
From these feelings I'm feeling
For you deep down inside

I can't help myself
I just can't let them go
It's feelings like no other
I've ever felt before

Help me to understand
Please help me to see
Is this the fate of our lives
Our world, our destiny

And within our hearts
If we will only believe
We will find love & stand strong
For All Eternity

Poetry - My Heaven on Earth

My Heaven on Earth

She came into my life from afar,
Full of pain, mystery and desires.

I knew at once she was my best friend,
The one woman that I would love forever.

You were in prison and I did wonder,
But it did not matter, for you are me.

I love the way that you love me so true,
And how we balance each other so well.

You are so sensual, the way you love me,
All those passions that are so magical.

It is cool the ways that we talk together,
Learning, and teaching, with give and take.

I want to spoil you as you so deserve,
Love, flowers, and all those little things.

We are here to discover everything together,
And it's special how complete I feel with you.

We share a passion for life and have it all,
A trust that tells us we are truly soulmates.

I love so much about my Love Flower,
She brings such desires and needs in me.

I feel like singing and dancing all day,
For you have brought me a heaven on earth.


Thank you Nicole Lynn (Patterson), my wife-to-be and best friend, for loving me and being the love of my life.

A Wandering Heart of Mine

A Wandering Heart of Mine

A wandering heart of mine
Loves so deeply

It beats upon my soul
Longing to be held

How I long to love thee
So very real

My wandering heart of mine
All broken from pain of the past

Longing to be One with you
A soulmate so very true

A special poem for my husband to be, David

Nicole Hutchins, April 30th, 2007

Poetry - Come Fly with Me

Come Fly With Me

You come to me with such desires

Please catch me and teach me to fly

Life has become so worthless and

I need answers to my questions

I have become so tired and

Will you be the One to save me ?

I need to hold on for dear life

Give me your hand and walk for awhile

Your eyes are red and filled with tears

And you do not want another day to come

Will you be the One to love me ?

And accept all of my pains and joys

You wanted to run away but now

Decided to walk slowly along the shore

I open my arms and hold you tight

I have so much love; will you be mine ?

I saw your wings begin to grow

And we talked through the night

Don’t forget me or turn me away

I need someone to believe in me

You took my hands into yours

And saw the lines of hope appear

Whisper your desires to my heart

Come be mine and love me true

I promise you but forever

To protect and be your man

Suddenly you sprang to life

And colors filled your wings

You know that you are true

And a beautiful angel to me

Remember to always hold me close

And see me as the only one for you

Thank you Lord for bringing me an angel

My Nicole who has become my soulmate

You saw that we needed each other

And taught us to see with our souls

We are guides for one another

With a precious love that matters

Poetry - Escape

Escape

I sit in pain and misery,
locked away in my own penitentiary
My sentence is death, if you get the best of me.

I'd like to cut my veins out
Let the pain run out
I can't find a blade
My scars run deep
So deep, I can't find sleep.

It's like I'm speeding
Running around like a demon.

My past is coming at me in flashes.
My future holds nothing in store,
All I can cry is Dear God, why?
