Gone
so completely
like a vapor
as if never here
my heart still remembers
soul that aches for you
memories are all that are left
still remember the pained tears
all the wasted years
no true closure
not completely
Gone
Gone

Each one welcome
to slowly wash
earth and soul
Quench a thirst
overdue so long
drops on drops
Giving new life
cooling the fire
bringing sweet relief
Earth and soul
cool and refreshed
drops and drops
Smile

And to my heart you make me smile
bring me happiness for a while
it can be silly it can be sweet
to touch a heart no easy feat
So easily you bring the smile to my face and heart
how to touch me deep inside you know just where to start
sometimes silly sometimes sweet all the time love from you
I am just amazed by this thing you do.
No matter what my day is like you are always there
with a quick smile and laugh waiting just to share
My heart it smiles every time along with my face
you know just how to touch me you know the exact place.
When I think of all the people who love me so
you are the first that my heart does know
and again I smile down to my heart into my very soul
nothing but the smile you give to always make me whole.
Whole

Taken as a whole life is quite complex
day to day the living not knowing what comes next
so many things leave little holes dents inside the soul
but then there are just a few that tend to make one whole
To have someone who loves you no matter what you are
to go with you each step of the way whether near or far
holding your hand holding your heart they never let you go
having someone that makes you whole is all you need to know
They can take all the dents all the holes and patch them over with a kiss
make you realize that there is nothing in this life you miss
for you have it all right in front of you love to fill the gaps
into the very soul of you each touch from them taps
Everything that was no longer means anything to me
as if the past the people there were dead you see
surrounded now by an envelope of love to feel
it makes me whole love’s power to heal
Lost

Brown and round large flecks of gold
the kind of thing a person could get lost in
lashes so long they reach for the sky
afraid to look for fear of being lost in them
As if they look right through me
so warm so unafraid seeking out my face
when the sun hits them the gold shines so bright
it takes my breath away
Never really noticed until you were inches from my lips
how they drink in everything around each look a little more
every feeling so expressed inside those lash framed eyes
so easy to fall in one look is all it takes
Feeling them on me turning to see their beauty
never wanting to stop transfixed by the colors
by the emotion wrapped within only wanting more
reach into my soul just a look and I am yours
