Would you be a lemon tree?
A dizzy, dancing, crazy bee?
Would you climb the highest tree?
……..for me?
Would you do the darndest thing?
Scream and shout and flail and sing?
Would you do the simplest thing?
……...for me?
Would you swim below the sea?
With whales and sharks and still not flee?
Would you delve under the sea?
……...for me?
Would you take my treasured chest?
Claim it yours and not just jest?
Would you save my precious chest?
…..….for me?
Would you take the solemn vow?
Keep it safe no matter how?
Would you make this sacred vow?
………for me?
Would we laugh and cry and share?And live and love and always care?May we always want to share!
………for us!
But, would that really be for me?
Or is it but a dream to flee?
Would you always want me?
……….for me?
I hope that we can live as one!
Where the days are never done!
Because you are the only one!
……….for me!

FOREVER ENDING
Today forever ended, I didn’t know it could.
This thing that welled up in me, so strong, I could feel it ripping at my chest wall trying to get out,
Taking with it my heart and lungs and soul.
The realization that love is not what u expected it to be. Neither what u think it is.
It is just something for other people, who can find happiness in it.
Love is a user. Taking all prisoners. Giving forever an ending date.
Shed not a tear, for not one, or years of weeping can do a damn thing.
No length of time could heal the pain of forever ending.
When your heart is on the floor and a gaping hole in your chest, soul cannot be kept in.
It leaves.
There’s no place for love in my life anymore.
My soul has left today.
The day forever ended.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW
What if I were a bird?
And could fly from tree to tree!
What songs I would hear!
What things I would see!
The song that the rain sings,
Before a thunderous shower.
The song that the stars sing
As they twinkle at each other.
The song that the sun sings,
As it warms the earth at dawn.
The song that the earth sings,
When something new is born.
And I would see the tree tops
From land view and the sky.
All the things look big or small,
Depends how high you fly!
And I would see the creatures
All moving down below.
And I would stop and give a shout
A heartfelt gracious “hello”
And I would see the people
Walking hand in hand,
And so I move in closer,
For this I have to land.
And I hear the song
These two begin to sing
One being to the other,
The song that lovers sing.
So as I take my flight here
From the things I’ve seen and heard
The things I cannot tell
For I am but a bird.

TODAY
I do not feel myself today
Like my hat is falling and I cannot catch it.
What am I to do?
Where am I to go?
How do I stay here?
How do I stay away?
I have seen many things you have shown me.
I have seen more of what you have not!
I have heard many things you have told me.
I have heard more of what you have not!
How easy it is to believe lies when it is what we want to hear.
But still it is a lie.
We know the truth but believe the lie
It is what we want to hear.
It is easier to believe the lie of love
No one knows its truth.
No one would believe!
