Sonnet to Love

A lonely ghost upon a darkened hill
Where I reside within a barren land
Should then I find your love I would live still
For love is more abundant than the sand

If flowers are to live they need the sun
Than like to them, thy smile is to me
And were thy laughter gone, thy smile done
Than should I perish most unhappily

I could not do thee harm, more than myself
For to harm you would only harm me more
Thy love, I would not trade for all the wealth
For tis my breath, without which, I'm no more

At Death's Door, your kiss could, me, revive
And with but your love I shall survive

The Waiting Place

Dreary nights and weary days
That pass by in this waiting place
And through the sameness of the haze
We cannot see a change in pace
Here we sit, Wait-ers, all
And though we try, we cannot go
They hear us cry, they hear us call
But for us, no help will show
Trapped here and only us to blame
Racing forward, towards more the same
A nightmare of our own creation
Unsatisfied with our frustration
One day I'll break out but not now
In a few years, then I'll learn how
I'll wait till tomorrows here
I utter this morn' with false cheer
But each dawn comes and goes away
And I wait each passing day
But I still see no change in pace
There's no escape from The Waiting Place

Tonight

Tonight I will remember all the times gone by

The friends I’ve made, the friends I’ve lost, the friends I’ve left behind

Tonight I will let go of all of my regrets

Chances lost, and choices made and friends I never met

Tonight I will discover all the world can give

Family who love, friends who help, and a life to live

Tonight I will accept that life is what you do

To be loved-love, to get- than give, to trust you must be true

Tonight I will recover all I’ve left behind

Because anyone you’ve ever lost, you can always find

Tonight I will appreciate all of those I love

There are no better to be found neither below nor above

And when the sun rises with dawn, it will be my brand new start

Of mind, of body and of heart
