I'd tell you that I love you
but there are no words
I'd tell you how I need you
again there are no words
I would tell you what you mean to me
but the words cannot express
exactly how I feel for you
no words for the happiness
with each heartbeat I can feel it
and my mind can comprehend
but the tongue lays silent
no voice with which to send
perfect words, the perfect words
there is no way to say it
so that you will understand
exactly the way I feel for you
their unknown to mortal man
so until eternity let's me see
a perfect way to express
exactly what you mean to me
and all the happiness
I'll use imperfect words.....
I love you words
I need you words
forever words

Ode to a Furby

I've got to have it Mom!
I really need a friend!
And so with these words....
My normal life came to an end.

An ugly little creature.
All green and red and blue.
And once taken out of the box,
Right then and there I knew.

That battle lines had been drawn,
This creature had to go!
It talked it sang it snored,
How was I to know!

A constant chirping it emitted.
I waited for it to die.
But the child had extra batteries,
upon which to rely.

I know that it is watching me,
I can see it in it's eyes.
That ugly little creature,
Is planning my demise.

And soon the fateful day arrived.
When in the store she saw,
A friend for her furby...
I had lost it all.

The furby creatures they had won.
And I knew that all was lost.
It was two against one now,
I was no longer the boss.

Patchwork

Stitching fragments together
trying to mend all the pieces
Remembering what it once was,
small torn bits fitting back into place.
Tattered remnents with frayed edges
a puzzle of what is left.
Carefully mending...
sewing.
Tearstains upon the patchwork,
filling in parts forever lost.
Looking upon the finished work
knowing it has little likeness
to what it once was.
They say time will mend,
but it is forever changed,
pieced back together,
more fragile is the material than before.
It's never the same when someone
rips apart your heart.

Sandcastles I

We walked along a sandy beach
reveling in our love so new
everything possible we could reach
our world was just us two

playing in the waves and the sand
splashing, frolicking in the sea
drying our bodies upon the land
heaven embodied you and me

building a mound became a game
slowly shaping it into our dream
noticing ours were somehow the same
everything so perfect it seemed

the walls were high with a paper flag
tucked neatly into a tower
envisioning our dream upon a high craig
love blossomed beginning to flower

quietly we built our tomorrow
the day slowly faded to dusk
hesitently leaving with sorrow
reluctantly knowing we must

a tribute of love left in the sand
the memory forever in our hearts
entwining fingers and hands
never again to be apart.

Sandcastles II

Walking along a remembered beach
two strangers searching for something
alone in their search out of reach
depending on each other for nothing

quietly seeking hoping to find
a love that had become so lost
each wondering the others mind
seperate worlds the other can't cross

digging toes into the sand
a look passed between us two
slowly down upon knee and hand
recapturing what we knew

the walls not so high no paper flag
not quite so high a tower
remembering dreams time now drags
realizing now the late hour

quietly pushing down the walls
regrets buried within the grains
wiping away the tears as they fall
knowing love no longer remains

A tribute of what was left in the sand
memories still in our hearts
a sad goodbye a wave of the hand
in seperate directions we depart

the ocean tide rises slowly it creeps
towards our castle of dreams
taking it away piece by piece
until nothing is left it seems
