SEARCHING............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Searching for that pot of gold, That someone I desire, Someone to make the loneliness fade, And send my happiness higher. Searching for that goal has slowed, For I went about it wrong, I was searching and searching for that missing piece, The search became too long. I truly needed that special friend, One who thought as I, I didn't even have to search again, I didn't even have to try. You were there all along, Our paths have joined to one, My search has thankfully ended now, It is finished, it is done. You certainly are a special friend, One I hold so dear, Whenever you need me I'll be there, Look around for I am near. SWEETNESS............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Sweetness is that pleasurable taste, One gets from a candy treat, Sweetness is that warm inner feeling, One gets when feeling complete, Sweetness certainly is not born, One either is or not, Sweetness itself is a gift, Something that is not bought, Sweetness is that outward glow, That few today possess, Sweetness is that overall aura, That you my friend have, o yes! FROZEN*DREAMS......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Frozen in time are the dreams that I had, Wondering how to return, For that magical moment that I had with you, Wanting that spark to re-burn, I followed the path I thought was real, While stumbling along the way, I pause with the tears that filled my eyes, If only time was not today, How can I speak with sadness as this, When all I wanted to do, Was remember the smile upon your face, When I said I love you. TRYING*TO*UNDERSTAND.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. As I try to understand the feeling I have, And the love that is floating within, The thought of holding you near to me, Cloud 9 is where I've been, The miles are many, but my heart is near, Never to lose that love, When I am sad you lift me up, I'm certainly blessed from above. WISHING*UPON*A*STAR................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... As I lay here wishing upon on a star, Do you feel my thoughts from where you are? They're full of warmth with a dash of love, From me to you that started above, A special friend, but very new, Giving and lovely I see in you, Distance is far when one must start, But none is too much for this old heart, The presence of burdens will try their best, To give my days and heart a test, But time will show my heart will win, It's made of feeling and not of tin, Don't ever change from who you are, You're special and cared for from a far. YOU*ARE....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... You are the love that I feel, You are the vision that I see, Why won't you notice, The beauty in me? The thought of you is with me, In every little thing I do, The feeling was there inside me, Before I even knew THE*LOVE*HAS*GROWN.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I wish I could explain, Why I feel like I do, My heart has a mind of it's own, In my eyes you are perfect, Even if there are flaws, The love has certainly grown. PRAYED*GOD*ANSWERED.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Sometimes we pray for things we want, Sometimes for things we need, But God only wants the best for us, Not to fail, but rather succeed, We learn from mistakes so we try again, Not to falter and feel so blue, God answered my prayers and healed my heart, For that he has brought me you! BUT*YOU'RE*NOT*THERE.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. My arms reach out for you, But you're not there, My lips so long to kiss you, But you're not there, I want to speak words of love to you, But you're not there, My heart wants to feel your presence, But you're not there, The thought of you is with me, To comfort my arms, The thought of you is with me, To feel my kisses, The thought of you is with me, To hear my words of love, The thought of you is with me, To ease my lonely heart, The thought of you is with me, Forever! MEMORIES*OF*A*CRYING*HEART!........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The memories are left from disappointing realities, .....can or will they stay fresh? Flooding a crying heart with thoughts of caring still felt, .....those mental images needed, but yet hurting, The essence of a mind still tormented at will, .....not intended yet still needed for strength, Will be released into obscurity with times arrival, .....of a calmness from within! A*LOVE*ONCE*FELT...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The warming memories .....of a once felt love, Begin to fade .....when the heart grows alone, Silence and loneliness .....seem to linger every day, So we cling to those memories .....of a love that was shown, We must treasure the times .....that we have spent together, We must not forget .....the reason we care, Quite possibility in time .....both of us shall see, That what we felt inside .....we needed to share! I*TRIED....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I tried and I lost, ....but the feeling remains, How do I deal, ....with the constant deep pains? The dream, the fantasy, ....was all that I had, Just saying I love you, ....was it really that bad? The emotional makeup, ....of my very soul, Was suddenly destroyed, ....by an unwelcome goal! A*HEART*IN*PAIN............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... A heart in turmoil from shattered dreams ......being tormented endlessly, But moving onward to search anew for uplifting comfort ......yet failing painfully, The emotionless discomfort that overshadows brief moments of time's relief ......UN-welcomed, but accepted still, For no substitute can replace the lost warmth an emotional heart has brought ......from a tiny seed of love, Tirelessly the search for another lost soul moves on, ......though darkened with despair, For too easily love finds this lonely, this fragile remnant ......of a heart once filled of feeling, Fading , fading into darkened moments. I*FALL*FOR*YOU................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Of all the things I did today, One stands above them all, Unlucky I was standing up, For one has made me fall, The wobbly legs gave way, but yet, I stood back up again, I thought that I was back to normal, As I counted from one to ten, But then it hit me one more time, But this is nothing new, Each time I look into your eyes, I fall again for you! MY*HEART*KNOWS................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ I woke up this morning, And what did I feel? The same I felt last evening, Only doubled, is it real? I wonder about tomorrow, Will it increase again the same? Will my heart still feel the same next week? I know who is to blame, I had no idea I'd feel this way, But then again I knew, I can't control what my heart knows, My heart knows that it's you! WILL*I*KNOW*LOVE?..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... When will I ever know the beauty of love? Why should I toil away in endless dreams? I've longed for the warmth of another lost soul, But I appear to be the only one lost it seems, My love would be pure, given out with open arms, Have faith when I say that it comes from above, Forgive me if I fail, Lord, I will try again, When will I ever know the beauty of love? WON'T......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Won't ask myself how, Won't ask myself when, Won't be thinking of you, Again and again, Won't ask myself what for, Won't ask myself why, Won't ask myself those things, So pointless to try, I think of you now, I thought of you then, I'll think of you tomorrow, Again and again, I'll always be thankful, The thought of you did start, The thought of you will always, Remain deep in my heart! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am just a semi middle aged oldie who is so old that I used to double date with Moses. At this point of my life the lady would have to be extra special and make my heart beat faster than normal, make everything beautiful just by placing her hand in mine for me to think of anything other than just friendship and that is what I am here for (for now), friendship.
