Our love remains........

What makes a love so strong,
and makes our love so right,
its as a feeling like a song,
when every note just lights the night.

What makes our love so true,
and makes us see beyond friends" doubts,
its when our faith"s in me and you,
and our chemistry works out.

What makes our love so good,
and makes our love so tender,
its whether or not we"re in the mood,
love we receive, we"re each the sender.

What makes our love go on to last,
and makes our hearts and minds hold through,
its when we live not in the the past,
but start afresh and start anew.

And when we daydream thoughts of each,
even when our love is young,
when we"re are beyond each others" reach,
our love still lasts and remains strong.

The pain of love......

The pain of love
is greater than the pain of seperation
to this some may wonder how
but the others might know

love induces the fear
of losing the one
who is a dear
love is a tragic game
no one knows what's the aim

it's a queer question
for those having it in possesion
the everyday greif one feels
mark a wound that never heals

life is an eternal truth
and the dreams are the end of time
but the agony of love
is the beginning of every ending.

How can you speak with such certainity
when you can't even see the earth bend at the horizon
why do you try to fathom
the expanse in a single blade of grass
and just as the artist's pallatte is not a blueprint
but a board of possibilities
so then there is no road map to life
only choices and consequences

yet I believe that while freewill exists
there's a silent architect hanging in the sky
and with his trusty tools
draws out a path.......
if only to give me an opportunity
to turn around or turn away
he drafts another road each passing day
with hopes that sometimes,
soon before I die
I might follow down
and move into the mansion he has built for me
so why do you live your life in pencil
when the sketches of the mountains
wait before you.....??
for at the end you'll have
no more than chicken scratches
senseless doodles and nearly blank pages
full of eraser marks and shavings

I live everyday in pen and ink
for one good consolation do I own
that the sculptor of the sky and sea
will in my imperfect hands
perfection make......
and turn my awkward sketches
into works of art.

FEEL OF LOVE.....

You ceased all the fear
i had for love in my heart
you made me feel
the essence of ur love
you showed to me
how beautiful love could be
you gave me the surge
to believe in the endevour of love
you've brought my life
to a new shore
you've lifted my spirits
up higher than the sky
you illuminated my life
and taught me ways to live
you made me fall
in love with love
so whenever i love love
i fall in love head over heels
yet again.............
