Along the avenue of lost souls
We danced deliriously
Entwined in each other
Oblivious to everything else

Along the avenue…
passion
Autumn breezes
She lassos heartstrings
Floating on an Autumn breeze
He feels the soft tug

This is the why…
You can’t erase a feeling
It’s like lying to your soul
Everything you feel
is a product of the whole
The sum of our emotions
remains buried deep inside
Sometimes they all surface
to be a witness or a guide
Everything we hold onto
has a purpose to protect
We mustn’t overlook that
in our attempt to neglect
The will that gathers within
lives to set our spirits free
Provoking our potential
to be what we might be

Thinking of you…
I cannot count the ways
or measure the depth of my love for you.
Words escape all rational notions
when I try to convey my thoughts.
It’s like trying to describe
the scent of a rare fragrance,
or explain the inconceivable mysteries
that leave the world in awe.
You are simply the magic keeping me alive
when nothing else can.

For certain
If I could change my life,
what would I do?
Would a simple hug
change my point of view?
I wonder how far I’d go
for the things I desire,
or would those longings
somehow expire.
I don’t always know
what my capabilities are,
haven’t gotten to the point
of reaching that far.
But there’s one thing I know
I could never do
and that would be
to give up you.
