Nice write pkh! Good to see ya again.

New things are always good.

New day, new year, fresh new smile, and new paths.

Take care and keep smiling.

Awww, thanks pkh. I've missed ya too. Keep smiling, it's contagious.

Ok dag-nab-it stop makin me laugh!

Seriously though the write was excellent and fun to read as well.

Dang bro....that about ripped the heart from my chest. Excellent write, sorry ya had to come by way of it so painfully though.

remember where angel's wings fail, the strength in your friends always prevails.

Unblinded

I've given my heart
And you blew out it's flame.
I sent you my love
As I walked away in my shame.
I then lent you my friendship
And you cursed it by name.
I'm not who I was then
Yet give I no blame.

It's true that I've given you
The comforts of love
Stood there beside you
Always
But that wasn't enough.

I've made my excuses
And tried to be blind,
But heartaches were certain
to open these eyes.

You let me know
I wasn't part of your life,
More things were important
And I was just part of your strife.

You wanted me waiting
Till your kids were all grown
Then they'd understand
Mommy needed space of her own.

Perhaps later in life
You'll find what you need
As I once sat in my tears
And realized
That wasn't me.

I'm sorry you're hurt
For now I've found what I've sought,
My tears have been dried
And my pain has been bought.

Yet in care I shall leave you
And hope one day you'll see
The true heartfelt meaning
In these words underneath.

Look up to the heart
That's willing to give
Take heed of the man
Unwilling to live.
Speak soft to the heart
That gives without thought
And be ever forgiving
With a love that is sought.

Aww, thanks PKD.

Thanks Mystique, I'm glad you liked it.

Ahh, yes, this year has started off well for me and I hope the same for you too.

Searching her heart with your eyes and a gentle kiss to her hand with whispered words of true love within her ear.

Hmm....This one reminds me of a Renoir.

Your words reveal what the eyes speak from a painted heart.

Very nicely done my friend.

Endearing Moment

Look into these eyes
And tell me what you see.
There's a world that's loving you
Because you've chosen me.
In these eyes you'll find
What drives this heart to beat
It comes from deep in you
My lover can you see?

Listen to this heart
And find your rhythm there
Darlin dance with me
And feel this love I dare.
Not just something clumsy
Or a moment of our time
Forever feels so right
As we dance within our rhyme.

Snuggle in these arms
That hold you oh so tight
I'll keep you safe from harm
With all my soul and might.
Never shall you know
The pain of losing me
For I refuse to go
Forever true to thee.

Kiss these lips and hush
And taste my love for you,
A treat you're sure to love
As most lovers often do.
Getting lost within this moment
Oh so lost within your love
Take my soul within you dear
For I'll never get enough.

Finding The Internal Riches

Why hast thou been forlorn,
Alone and abiding in time
That stands still
To this day?

Doest thou not know
The many gifts
That the present may bring
Or the blessings that are bare
Upon thine tears?

All that I have bore upon mine shoulders
To this day are darkness and greed
And many have spoken upon the winds
To my disenchantenment.

The paths through the squandered wastes
And ravages of time have brought me naught
but guilt and shame
As seen by the flock.

Yet I live,
Though to many,
Indignant.

Hast thine mind been closed
To these hidden gifts that I may share?

Oh how far we must fall
To achieve the graces of others,
For their sakes.

Yet I admit at times I stand alone and condemned.

Never yet have I felt so alone
Within the confines of mine keep,
For I am and have been
A seeker of hearts and promise.

Alone is but a word
Transformed into a feeling of hopelessness,
A guide into the inverness canyons
Of one's internal barren wastes.

It is to these souls I call out and speak
For they cannot see...
Else they would wash their own indignations
From themselves and rise again.

Yet to many,
I seem myself
Lost
Eternally.

Look not for the present
Nor toward the future
For both can most certainly
Bring sadness and shame.

I say look inside
Where thine lonesome heart lies,
For here is where you may find
The greatest of treasure and power
Anyone may receive.

Yet here is where life begins
From that tiny spark within
And with each new heart,
Inward in which you bring
New hope and prosperity.

Where thou art rich
The tyrants cast you down
Yet thou hast power
Where these mighty tyrants drown.

My friend, be thou not discouraged.
For thine place is kept in mine heart
That you may live.

Prepare thineself for your uplifting
And find within thineself
The wastes
Now filled lush and green.

It is here that ye may find your presents
Even treasures of what many
Have come to call
FAMILY.

Awww, thanks Mystique.

Thanks PKD.

Thanks DKW and good to see you again too. A new spirit I am becomming.

Same goes for you, my friend. Have a happy new year and new beginning kc.

Very true LAMom. Thanks.

Very nice

Thanks MirrorMirror.

Thanks Kc. Sad thing with this one is, I tied up all my emotional garbage with this one. Wonder what I'll be writing about next....lol. Kinda seems a befitting time for me though. Knotting up
The loose ends for the end of the year and beginning a new journey, somewhere I've never been, into the new year.

Good to see you too my friend.

Awakened From You

Awakened from a slumber
From the world in which I lived.
Your mere existance there
Has left a darkened empty gift.

The battles fought within our mind
Now seperates as two.
I wonder really now
If that's what you set to do.

The past is but a remnant.
Your pain can't cause me harm.
For now I understand the beast
That caught me in her charm.

You said I seemed so distant,
Last time you spoke to me.
What good is left to past
If always lived in memory?

You want to know my heart,
Yet you were blinded to it's source,
You thought you knew what drove me,
Yet your torment took it's course.

You disemboweled my kindness
And fought my attempts to care,
You stabbed the heart that loved you
And thought I was unaware.

Awakened to the present,
Revived by subtile tones of love.
Rebuilding what was broken,
My heart stirs but not enough.

She holds me in her arms
And cures what's dead inside,
Within her aura shining
There's no where I can hide.

She took me to her heart,
Something you could never do,
It's there her love does comfort me,
Protecting me from you.

She accepts the good and bad
And attempts to stop the pain.
After meeting who you are,
She vows I won't be hurt again.

What you need to understand
Will only come with time.
After you stop blaming
All the others for your crime.

You use my words against me
And silence what I feel,
Restrained from what is natural
Till my heart's refused to heal.

One thing you can't now understand
Is why you think you've failed.
You can't corrupt what's pure in heart
Or those whom seek for love unveiled.

Smiles now are broadened,
For our spirits now are one.
Her heart has grafted into mine
Untangling what you've done.
