UNKNOWN TITLE
By Theresa

There are dreams that cannot be
words that needs left be unspoken
Hearts that never mend
lives that never falter
There are joys that last a lifetime
and tears that are not shed
Hate that often lessens
love that falls so deep
There are smiles that often fade
memories forgotten
There are wishes left unanswered
faith that sometimes die
Still if you just remember
great friendships last foreve

"Often words cannot express true meaning behind
the emotion which is felt, but when written
down, the emotion can be understood more clearly"

- Theresa

TO LATE TO SAY I LOVE YOU
By Theresa

There is always a question to ask
and a memory to dwell upon
always another curiosity
wondering what if this and what if that
never knowing what could happen
if we let our hearts decide
that for just a simple moment
we could let our love unwind

That if we finally set free emotions
we had come to push aside
would we come together for a lifetime
or would the knowledge make us cry
and weaken the walls we built
making them crumble to the ground
running from the tenderness
fighting it with all our might

We had loved so passionately
yet loved not at all
cared with a deeper sense of caring
and shared all that we could share
each tear was felt a thousand times full
and each sorrow we took to burden
and we talked and explained
and hid behind our walls

Prtending we didn't care
and smiling through the hurt
covering the true emotion
and watching it grow only more
but saying nothing, professing nothing
and playing on unsaid things
unbeknownst to me, unbeknownst to you
to never see 'till its to late

And as I finally learned to love
with another, who loved me as I him
so came the confession of the heart
to bewilder me, to taunt me, to break me
as i had loved you years before
and had been loved naugt in return
so you had told me, so you'd professed
only to find it was naught all true

If only you'd have told me so
many long years ago
I would have given, to you, the world
and the stars in the distant sky
but late are you, you can't imgainge
how silent i've been through these times
when seeing you love the women you loved
watching them only break your heart

I still love you my dearest friend
but no longer as I did
the times have healed this shattered heart
i've accepted that there is no "us"
but still i'm always there to listen
whenever you are down
i'm sorry to have hurt you
in finding someone that I love

But still I can't help but wonder
what now would just be like
if only you'd have said the words
to which my heart so yearned to hear
the words I waited for, and hoped for
that could have changed my life around
I will wonder for all eternity what if only
you'd have told me long before...

But its to late to say "I Love You"

EARTHLY SORROWS
Written by Theresa

The rose, now grasped within my hand
That lay wilting, dying - -
Has been plucked from the land
With Mother Earth, who now lay crying

Goodbye the gentle ones of this place
That now upon the land lies cold - -
Has disappeared without a trace
A world, whose beauty, it could not hold

And winter comes; its white snow falls
And sleep, and dark it brings upon - -
The world it voices its anguished calls
Gentle lives now dead, cannot be undone

And when tomorrow's skies appear
To melt away the blanket, white - -
Giving way to a childish fear
So begins another foolish fight

And by and by destruction proves
The death of all things pure - -
Imbalance there will be, should nature lose
Kindness, love� are the only cure

Mother Earth, against the darkened side
Hoping to win this ruthless fight - -
And make the dark ones forever hide
And bring all beings into the light

THE GAME IN WHICH I PLAY
By Theresa

in my quiet solitude
is where my heart remains free
to fly the endless journeys
that was meant for only me

in no one shall I find
the truth of who I am
I�ll find it deep within me
For �tis me, who truly can

Flying to fantastic places
Where no else can go
Is what I want, to do the most
And let my imagination flow

Alone beside myself
Looking out, and looking in
Understanding and forever learning
I cannot lose, nor can I win

This game in which I play
A game that is my own
I never will grow tired of
Though �tis a game I play alone

I have learned to find excitement
In all that I ever do
Whether standing on wings of forever
Or pondering life through and through

In my world of dreams
I alone can venture here
No tears dare to fall
For there�s nothing that I fear

And in the world I live
Sheltered from prying eyes
Who would judge me from a simple glance
I�m remembered in the skies
