I want to devote this page to some writings that I have penned over a period of approximately 20 years. I am not quite sure of the exact dates that I gave life to these thoughts, but, in most cases I can pin them down to a particular incident or relationship. What matters is that every single one of them still apply to me and believe me when I say they apply to you as well (you know who you are).
Thoughts
How can I say what I have
felt all along?
How can I feel what my mind
has said is wrong?
The thoughts of my youth have made
me to believe many things,
though I had the choice to choose.
The teachers in my life tried to
teach me right and wrong,
but they neglected to tell me
how to win and lose.
Now, I've come to a time where I live my life
and make choices on my own.
How can it be that it has taken all this time,
for me to finally be grown.
The Threshold
Your touch has brought me to a life,
a life that I can know.
Your love has brought me to a place,
a place where I can grow.
My past has taught me many things
lessons good and bad.
My mind brings back a yesterday
of times happy and sad.
I want to give you of my life
a mixture of my dreams.
They've been there for a long time
waiting for you, it seems.
Help me to open up my world
to the happiness you could bring.
Help me to open up my mind
so that my heart can sing.
Awakening
I realize now
what you tried to say
It seemed I was busy
like a child at play.
I couldn't find time
to slow down for love
I was much to busy
for those things above
Too busy to listen
to morning birds sing
Too busy to notice
the joy that new love brings
My thoughts were not centered
on things that are right
I was stumbling around
searching for the light
I need your gentle hand
to guide me home
I need your honest voice
to call me your own
I thank you for bringing me
back to a place
where true passion lives
in the sight of your face
Light of Day
How did it happen,
is the question I ask
My life is so hidden,
it's worn like a mask.
I only pronounce
what needs to be said
I only write down
what needs to be read.
The moment it happened
I knew I was lost.
As is always the case,
I didn't count the cost.
This is not to say I'm wrong
nor claim that I am right
It's just that my eyes were blinded
when confronted with your light.
You opened my eyes
to a beautiful world,
one filled with passion
and feelings unfurled.
I realize the journey
has only just begun.
I look forward to times
spent with you in the sun.
