Lady

Lady, weeping at the crossroads
Would you meet your love
In the twilight with his greyhounds,
And the hawk on his glove?

Bribe the birds then on the branches
Bribe them to be dumb,
Stare the hot sun out of heaven
That the night may come.

Starless are the night of travel,
Bleak the winter wind;
Run with terror all before you
And regret behind.

Run until you hear the ocean's
Everlasting cry;
Deep though it may be and bitter
You must drink it dry.

Wear out patience in the lowest
Dungeons of the sea,
Searching through the stranded shipwrecks
For the golden key.

Push on to the world's end, pay the
Dread guard with a kiss;
Cross the rotten bridge that totters
Over the abyss.

There stands the deserted castle
Ready to explore;
Enter, climb the marble staircase
Open the locked door.

Cross the silent ballroom,
Doubt and danger past;
Blow the cobwebs from the mirror
See yourself at last.

Put your hand behind the wainscot,
You have done your part;
Find the penknife there and plunge it
Into your false heart.

WH Auden

Where the Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Shel Silverstein

I love you, need you, miss you

I love you more than all the stars in the sky.
I love you more as each moment passes us by.
I love you more with every breath I take.
I love you more with each promise we make.
I need you like a flower needs the rain.
I need you for you can wash away my pain.
I need you more each day
I need you for you are so wonderful, in every single way.
I miss you more than ever now.
I miss you because I really need you somehow.
I miss you and your touch.
I miss you for to me, you mean so much.
I want you to caress my lips the way you always do.
I want you to look into my eyes and see my love for you.
I want you to hold me close to your heart.
I want you to know that 
I love you, need you, miss you, and want you
And I have for every single moment, right from the start.

Emily

Lullaby

Lay your sleeping head, my love,
Human on my faithless arm;
Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:
But in my arms till break of day
Let the living creature lie,
Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful.

Soul and body have no bounds:
To lovers as they lie upon
Her tolerant enchanted slope
In their ordinary swoon,
Grave the vision Venus sends
Of supernatural sympathy,
Universal love and hope;
While an abstract insight wakes
Among the glaciers and the rocks
The hermit's sensual ecstasy.

Certainty, fidelity
On the stroke of midnight pass
Like vibrations of a bell
And fashionable madmen raise
Their pedantic boring cry;
Every farthing of the cost,
All the dreaded cards foretell,
Shall be paid, but from this night
Not a whisper, not a thought,
Not a kiss nor look be lost.

Beauty, midnight, vision dies:
Let the winds of dawn that blow
Softly round your dreaming head
Such a day of sweetness show
Eye and knocking heart may bless,
Find the mortal world enough;
Noons of dryness see you fed
By the involuntary powers,
Nights of the insult let you pass
Watched by every human love.

WH Auden 

 

Mirror

Through the walls
And past the mirrors
Stands a girl Who is strong
With her eyes filled with fire
Her soul is weak
But you would never know.
Detailed with passion
A definition of her heart
Words filled with regret
Her dream to write.
Pieces of no meaning
Nothing they could understand
How do I explain
Write of happiness
When all my stories are sad.
So hard to tell
My expression
My speech stuttering
My hands shaky
My heart beating fast
Loosing sleep from stress.
I want to give it up
Let go of the never existed
Step up to the plate
But how do you know me.
When you can not get me
When you don’t know me
When you cant figure me out.
Battling her everyday
Beat her down
Tell the girl in the mirror
To never give up
Reassure her it will be OK
So many burdens.
With makeup running down her face
I tell her
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow will be better
Tomorrow I can start over.

Like all the other days.

I miss you

I miss the way.....Life used to be
I miss the smile.......I used to see
I miss those times.....I had you there
It felt so nice........You really cared
Don't know why......I'm feeling this way
Think about you....Everyday
I blame myself.........For hurting you
I blame myself..........For all I do
It's all my fault.........This is what I get
But I just can't..............Give up yet
I finally realize................What I had
I'm so sorry...........Don't be mad
I can't be perfect......I don't even try
But when your gone.....I can't get by
Your in my head.........Your all I think
I'm missing you..........I'm on the brink
I can't remember.........Before you came
Without you...............It's just not the same
So much to give.........But no one there
So much love..............But with no one to share
I have these feelings.....They feel so true
I can't say it any other way...I'm missing you...

Three Words In the Sand

A warm breeze is blowing
As our feet caress the sand
Looking at the sky overhead
In the shoreline holding hands

Peaceful and quiet
The puffy clouds blow by
The sun warms our skin
I have never felt so alive

Then quietly we sit
Gazing into each others eyes
The sounds of seagulls and the waves splashing
And a ship?s horn echoes for miles

This precious day together
Feels like it?s just you and me
I want this to last forever
With you I want to be

Now the horn fades away
With a deep and mournful sound
The sun is setting far away
As we lay there on the ground

Just before we leave
You take my fingertips
And tell me to close my eyes
As you softly kiss my lips

Then as I open them
You let go of my hand
And there you wrote? I love you?
Right there on the sand
