Unending Sadness
Black and red
Her colors they do gleam
Hair flowing down her back in an elegant stream
Baby’s breath clutched in her hands
With her every step her heart makes demands
Turn back now; turn away! Her heart does plead
Like crimson rivers down her arms she does bleed
Heart to Heart
Through numerous years
Despite thousands of tears
By my side you remain
Your love a salve for my pain
Through the miles that separate us physically
You remain with me always emotionally
It’s not like its blood in blood out
More like heart to heart
I tattoo your name on my heart
Forever I will cherish your love
And no matter what, know that we will never be apart
Shaye
Sweet disposition, tender, loving and kind
When we’re together we always have a good time
Happy and healthy with a love of running
Laughter, joy and playing games
A new member of our family, whom we love with all our collective hearts
Youthful and energetic, she’s a ray of sunshine
Everyone’s friend, she’ll steal your heart, easy as child’s play and that is our beloved Shaye.
A Love Once Lost
Lost in this dark place to which your rejection has banished me
I look up and see the sun has been replaced by an unending velvet midnight sky
I find that the taste of your kiss still lingers on my lips
And my traitorous heart still whispers your name
Prey
Looking deeply into your eyes
I can hear her heart’s silent cries
You think of her as nothing more than an easy mark
But now I’ve got you in my sights and you’re about to hear this bitch bark
Like a wolf I protect my pack
And I’ve always got my girls’ back
Friendship
Although we may not be blood
I’ve got nothing but love
For a group of very special guys
Who are always the ones to dry the tears
That my heart silently cries
Taking me in your arms and holding me close
In a loving and brotherly embrace
All the pain and anger drains
Like so much blood from a mortal wound
And I can feel my strength and joy return
With an open mind you listen to me rant
Offering advice when it seems that I can’t
Control the anger I feel inside
Life
I travel down this road
But I know I don’t travel alone
Even if we’re not together
You’re beside me every step I take
You guide me through every decision I make
Like a guardian angel you always protect and watch my back
As protective as any wolf for a beloved member of their pack
Ode to Insane Clown Posse
Your words have brought us closer together
For the love of your music
You’ve helped us both through some tough shit
Like an anchor on a ship you’ve seen us through some fierce storms
You may be just two guys from Detroit
But to my brother and me you’re so much more
Dad
Eyes a warm caramel brown like an ice cold Dr. Pepper
Hair thick and dark as a raven’s wing
A smile that could rival the sun in its warmth
With a heart as wide open as a country sky
Strong arms with which hold his daughters in a loving embrace
Hearing his voice never fails to bring a smile to my face
Lovers’ Dance
Moving with fluid grace
Her hair flowing out behind her like a cape
Her skirt collecting tiny crystals of ice
As she walks along the snowy ground
Her favorite blossoms artfully arranged
To appear as a lovely crown
Baby’s breath and roses she clutched in her hand
Down the aisle she walked to her beloved groom
An irremovable smile played her lips
As she anticipated the taste of his kiss
Alas instead of the sweetness of her beloved’s lips
It was the copper of her blood she did taste
Instead of the love that she anticipated this day
A pain sliced its fiery blade through her chest
With tender reverence she was gently laid to rest
And rain fell as though tears from Heaven’s angels
At the welcoming home of one of their own too soon
Stalker
Stalking his prey with the fluid grace of a true predator
Eyes and ears alert to every sound
His pulse pounds out a strong tattoo
As excitement pulses through his veins
He watches as she slowly moves into the trap he’s laid
At home safe and sound she should have stayed
Betrayal
Looking deeply into my eyes
Tell me what it is that you see
Do you see the tears that I cried?
Do you see how deeply your betrayal cut?
Into my flesh like a dull bladed knife
Your words of love spoken with a forked tongue
You never really cared for me
You don’t know how much my heart bled
How blindly I followed where you led
Unhealthy Love
A heart full of hatred
A soul black as night
Looking into his eyes
She knows there’s going to be a fight
Why won’t she leave friends want to know?
How can a dove with broken wings ever take flight?
To Love Again
Every time I see you my heart skips a beat
And you fill my blood with passion’s heat
Only you are the object of this fire
It is you whom my heart does desire
Your kiss I long to taste
I only hope my love won’t go to waste
For many times before
Love has knocked upon my door
Only to leave me out in the cold
When the one I loved loves me no more
Heartache
Take up sword and shield, my love
So as to guard your heart from the dragon
Awaiting you at the door
With a forked tongue
And coaxing voice
This serpent gives you your choice
A love filled with pain
And lonely days out in the rain
Heartbreak
Once more I hear them fight
And again my heart tells me this isn’t right
Slamming doors and hurtful words
Exchanged between them
Feeling like a child once more
I find that I can’t help but long to cry
Knowing my sister’s heart is breaking
All I can do is heave a heavy sigh
And hope that one of these days
She comes to her senses and realizes
What a precious thing she’s tossing away
With both hands
The love of a good man
Is so hard to find
Isolation
Sitting here in the prison that is my room
I find myself contemplating my eternal doom
How long must I wait for the bite of the snake
Coiled in the corner of the room biding its time to strike
With serpentine grace it slithers around the room
Obsidian eyes gazing deeply into my own
Almost as if it can see all the way into my soul
Friendship
Precious as pearls
Radiant as rubies
Each friend a treasure
Of love and value beyond measure
An Angel’s Heartbreak
A tarnished halo sits above her head
Blackened wings rest against her back
Tears she does cry as she wishes to change her track
For the love of another
She cast her wings aside in anguish
Now sent down from Heaven she does reside
Feeling her heart steadily growing cold inside
Friends
Together forever
Always by my side
As constant as the ocean’s tide
With love in our hearts
We face any odds
We greet each other with smiling nods
Our hearts beat as one
As we’re all under the same sun
Danny
Friendly and kind with a smile as warm as sunshine
I’m thankful for whatever you can spare of your time
You make me smile just being in your presence
And when we’re together we always have a good time
Riding With My Angel
Riding with my angel
He keeps me safe as we travel
Down the road of life together
Riding with my angel
Always brings a smile to my face
Over all the miles we may race
Riding with my angel
The wind in our hair
And a song in our hearts
Unending Love
Angel from Heaven up above
You shower me with unending love
Your smile warms me like the sun
Your arms envelope and comfort me
Holding me close in a loving embrace
Angel from Heaven up above
You shower me with unending love.
Your Love
Looking into your eyes
So warm and filled with love
I can’t help but smile
As my heart races
Just speaking your name aloud
It’s like your standing beside me
And I feel surrounded by your strength
Granddaddy
Eyes so clear and blue
Sweet to every friend old and new
Looking up into a starlit night sky
I smile and I think of you
And the nickname you’ve
Bestowed upon me
Your Little Stevie Star
Friends
Looking back on all the years you’ve been with me
Always there to hold me back and comfort me
When my granddad and brother died
You all dried the tears I cried
When my heart got ripped out of my chest
You were there with needle and thread
Sewed up the wound, your friendship a healing salve
For this wounded and broken up heart
Even when we’re miles away know that I keep you close
Every step that I take and every beat of my heart you are with me
I put that on my skin; you guys have been with my through thick and thin
Helping me through whatever trouble I get myself in
Whatever happens
No matter what goes down
I know you’re not a group of clowns
You stick it out with me
You ground me when I start to fly away
You defuse the fire when I’m about to blow
Know I take you with me wherever I go.
I carry you forever in my heart
And I know we will never part.
Passion’s Embrace
Fire glows in the depths of his eyes
Molten heat fills his blood
It is his love that he spies
Gently taking her hand in his
He leads her down beside the fire
With tender kisses he sparks her desire
In passion’s embrace they tumble
Chest to chest their hearts do rumble
Mouths open and seeking
Tongues meet and duel
Fire burning with all their fuel
Darkheart
Your words of encouragement brighten my days
Your words of passion and love bring joy to my nights
Your advice and kind words are my truest delights
A few years now we’ve been corresponding
Heart to heart I feel we’re bonding
Like good friends more so old than new
As comfortable as an old pair of shoes
Your advice I take to heart
Even through the miles that we’re apart
Xavier
X is for the mark you’ve left upon my heart
A is for the adventures you will have
V is for the variety of dreams you will chase
I is for the intelligence you will gain
E is for everything you are to me
R is for the radiance of your smile
Amber
A is for your angelic smile
M is for the memories we share
B is for the brightness you bring to our days
E is for endless laughs
R is for the radiance of your spirit
My Love
Drowning in the depths of your gaze
I feel my pulse race with excitement
The flavor of your kiss I long to taste
For your hands upon my body I secretly yearn
Give me a chance, my passions soon you will learn
Missing Your Love
Sleepless nights spent tossing and turning
My heart secretly yearning
For the strength of a man’s arms
Wrapped ’round me I’m longing to feel
Like a rose longs to feel the rain
Petals gracefully unfurling
Passion’s heat within my blood
Nightly I feel it stirring
His face haunts my waking hours
Stilling into my dreams like a phantom
In the stillness of the darkest night
Passion’s Embrace
She comes to him cloaked in stars and moonbeams
An angel in the night who haunts his dreams
Reaching out with open arms
She fills the emptiness within his heart
Their lips meet in a tender kiss
Together they share passion’s bliss
Long and lithe limbs tumbling amidst silken sheets
With wild abandon they give the other what they seek
Rosebud lips part on passion’s sigh
Radiant in her beauty, a tear stings his eye
With mounting passion she falls upon his blade
Wrapped in each other’s arms they rest in the quiet glade
Uncle Kurt
Warm brown eyes so full of love
Laughter sprang easily to his lips
A heart surpassed by none
He was always so much fun
With angels now he is soaring
Comforting us in our mourning
He wouldn’t want us to shed a tear
But instead crack open a can of beer
And tie one on ’til morning comes
As the sun rises clear
Love’s Ebb and Flow
Cool night air kisses her skin like a lover
In her arms she could wish for no other
As tongues meet and duel
Adding to passion’s fuel
Inside both of them is a roaring desire
Burning in their blood like molten fire
As his lips glide down her throat
She purrs out a soft note
Hands seeking and grasping
Passion floods them like a moat
Riding on the ebb and flow of the tide
They hold on as they begin passion’s wild ride
Love’s Dance
Gently he takes her hand in his
Leading her out onto the floor
When the music starts
He takes her in his arms
Smiling kindly she sings
He feels his heart has received wings
Graceful as a flower unfurling its petals
They glide across the ground ’neath their feet
Smiling kindly at every friend they meet
Suddenly the music changes tempo
And she’s whisked away
Just when he thought she’d come to stay
Love’s Dance 2
Gentle as a spring lamb
He slowly takes her hand
They move with liquid grace
Each an immovable smile upon their face
Music swirls around the pair
As they dance in the cool caress of the night air
Moving with the music of their hearts
Love’s Dance 3
Tenderly he takes her into his arms
She feels entranced by his many charms
Their lips meet in a tender kiss
A gentle expression of their love
For one another for all time
Passion soon has them in its grasp
He smiles as he hears her impassioned gasp
Moving gracefully as one on the dance floor
They express their love for each other evermore
Painful Memories
Gazing into the depths of your eyes
I can still hear her pained cries
Can still feel her frantic heart
Beating wildly against my own
As she told of what she’d known
If I ever see you alone
I’m going to send you home
Back to your maker
I shall send you soon
My hatred pervasive as a monsoon
For her I’d do anything
Even if it meant my freedom
Like a black inky stain
You’ve been nothing but pain
To an angel whom I love with all my heart
Seeing you around her
I know is tearing her apart
Passion’s Flame
With longing my heart does yearn
With passion’s flame my body does burn
I spend most every night tossing and turning
This fire of desire inside eternally burning
Every night I deeply wish for the taste of my lover’s kiss
For the feeling of passion’s bliss
Whenever I’m around him I feel this tempest
Deep inside my heart is where it resides
Unwanted Love
Contradictions swirling within
Don’t know why I loved him
How our friendship could have spanned so many years
How he could have dried my numerous tears
Tears my heart to pieces so callously
Then wonders why I react so viciously
To his words and those of his so called friend
Spreading lies with forked tongues
I know they were the ones
Who lied for him all this time
My Love
Your name springs easily to my lips
And often follows me into my dreams
There I see your smiling face
And being near you makes my heart race
Though you’ve yet to press your lips to mine
I find myself dreaming of your kiss
And feel a sense of contented bliss
You Haunt My Dreams
It is your visage I see in my dreams
It is for you that my heart yearns
Even as it comes to terms with old burns
In the past I’ve given it into the care
Of some who didn’t comprehend the treasure
That rested within their hands
It had been returned battered and scarred
Tossed carelessly aside like an unneeded card
Selky
Creature of legend
Creature of lore
Enchanting imaginations
Forever more
Cody
Innocent as freshly fallen snow
Know I take you with me wherever I go
Always I carry a piece of you in my heart
So that way we never have to part
You may not remember my face
But in my heart you always have a place
Whether blood or not
Makes no difference to me
As a baby I held you in my arms
And I was held captive by your charms
Casey
I call you brother though we’re not blood
You call me sister from another mister
You make me laugh when I want to cry
With gentle hands you dry the tears from my eyes
Every day you may taunt and tease
But ever night I’m on my knees
Praying for Him in His infinite wisdom
To watch over and protect you
Life’s Mysteries
Soupy gray and gravy thick
Smoke surrounds my mind like a fog
Desire to lie like a fallen log
Eyes see through a haze
On these lazy days
Wondering always
Will I change my ways
Each breath we take
Is a choice we make
Never knowing what’s at stake
Warrior Woman
Pride of her people
Loved by them all
With head held high
She does stand tall
Hair flowing like a
stream
Bright as sunlight she does beam
Her smile peaceful as a dream
My Love
Heat surrounds me like a negligee
As your eyes meet mine
Time after time
Though our lips have yet to meet
You fill my blood with passion’s heat
Even when we’re not together
What I feel for you is beyond measure
And to me you are a dear treasure
Surrounding my thoughts while I wake
In my dreams passionate love we do make
Through every kiss and every caress
Our love for each other we do express
Our Passion
On the softness of a bear skin rug
We tumble in a passionate hug
As passion mounts
We embrace
Smiles upon each face
As our hearts do race
Slowly and gently we undress
Each new spot blessed with a loving caress
Seeking lips and searching tongues do meet
As this fire does spark and heat
With gentle hands and patient minds
We teach each other what brings pleasured sighs
As slowly passion begins to glaze our eyes
Dreaming of Your Kiss
Your name springs readily to my lips
And often follows me into my dreams
There I see your smiling face
And being near you makes my heart race
Though you’ve yet to press your lips to mine
I find myself dreaming of your kiss
And feel a sense of contented bliss
Treasure
Lying awake thoughts drifting in and out of my head
Wishing desperately to go to back to bed
Like a thief in the night he steals into my dreams
Tenderly he heals my heart’s old wounds
Hope he knows what a treasure I place in his care
If not there might not be enough to spare
To mend my broken heart ’til it’s whole
Dreaming
Dreaming of him again
His name the first thought
To enter my head
As I lie awake in bed
Visions of us dancing
Hand in hand playing in the sand
With the abandon of children
We continue about our day
As we laugh and play
Peace
Silence envelopes me like a cloak
As my mind slips away from the problems
Of every day
Gone is the stress
The whole emotional mess
Slowly I begin to close my eyes
And release content-filled sighs
Passion’s Hunger
Embracing her body like a second skin
The dress only reflects the fire within
Like molten lava passion does flood
Her blood at the sight of the handsome stud
His eyes meet hers across the dance floor
Suddenly she knows she’s done for
Gliding with the grace of a skilled hunter
Both of them pulled closer by passion’s hunger
Our Sister
Enchanting little pixie with a radiant smile
She has enough energy to run well over a mile
Loves horses and playing with dogs
Doubt she runs away from bullfrogs
Her hair reminds me of sunshine
And her eyes are warm as fresh honey
Her laughter is refreshing as a cool brook
And she loves to read fairy tales in books
She’s a ray of sunlight in our lives
One we’re pleased to call our sister
My Love
Like a wraith in the darkest of night
He slips into my dreams
And dries the tears that silently stream
In a gentle embrace I feel my heart race
As he holds me close in the safety of his arms
I wonder, Is there no end to his charms?
He makes me feel like very few ever have
And sometimes I wonder if he’s really an angel
Sent from Heaven up above
Slowly but surely I feel my heart mending
And these feelings grow with gentle tending
My Mom, the Queen
I can think of no words to describe
How deep this love I feel runs
You help me through so much
You express your love in so many ways
Bright as a blazing sun on my darkest days
Even though I cause you stress and drama
You are a warrior queen to me mama
Like when my father walked out
I thought my world was over
But then you took me in your arms and told me you’d be there for me
In so many ways you show that you still care for me
You show me every day
In so numerous ways
I couldn’t even begin to count
In one lifetime all you do for me
I know we have our fights
But looking back in the daylight
Even though I thought I was
I know that you were right
Thinking of You
Thinking of you I find the words
Refuse to come to mind
And I know they’re not easy to find
You fill my thoughts through the day
And you still into my dreams at night
When hold me in your arms
Everything feels all right
Your smile chases the clouds away
And is my sun on a cheerful day
Granddaddy #1
With eyes more blue than gray
They remind me of the sky on a cloudless day
Walking side by side you held my hand
As we laughed and played in the sand
With eyes like a hawk you’d watch
Your Stevie Star and warn me when
I would venture out too far
Now even though you are gone
Still I carry on and know that
You still watch over your little
Stevie Star
Granddaddy #2
Solid as an oak with arms just as thick
You always held me tight even when sick
You’d hold me close and let me listen
To the resonance of your heart beat
Steady as a drum
Ever so softly you would hum
Missing You I
These days are dragging by and making me want to cry
Days of not seeing your face or hearing your voice
Might as well be nights as far as I’m concerned
For they’ve taken away my love
Taken away my joy
And replaced it with sorrow
Making me dread the thought of tomorrow
But a small glimmer of happiness remains
That it is only days and not years
That we will be apart
Know that always I will carry you in my heart
For my love for you is as long as the world is wide
Blossoming like a flower under an open sky
Missing You II
These days spent waiting
Each sunrise I hate
To see the start of each new day
For I know I won’t see your smiling face
Nor feel the warmth and love of your embrace
But knowing their number is few
I can face each day with a smile bright and new
Passion’s Flame
With longing my heart does yearn
With passion’s flame my body does burn
I spend most every night tossing and turning
This fire of desire inside eternally burning
Every night I deeply wish for the taste of my lover's kiss
For the feeling of passion’s bliss
Whenever I'm around him I feel this tempest
Deep inside my heart is where it resides
Wondering
Lying awake thoughts drifting in and out of my head
Wishing desperately to go back to bed
Like a thief in the night he steals into my dreams
Tenderly he heals my heart’s old wounds
Hope he knows what a treasure I place in his care
If not there might not be enough pieces to spare
To mend my broken heart ‘til it’s whole
Dreaming
Dreaming of him again
His name the first thought
To enter into my head
As I lie awake in bed
Visions of use dancing
Hand in hand playing in the sand
With the abandon of children
We continue about our day
As we laugh and play
Granddaddy # 3
Eyes the deep blue of a loch
A laugh that could crumble rock
Strong and solid as an oak
His love surrounding us like a cloak
In his arms I know I’m safe
And that feeling not even time can erase
Passion’s Flame
With longing my heart does yearn
With passion’s flame my body does burn
I spend most every night tossing and turning
This fire of desire inside is burning
Every night I deeply wish for the taste of my lover’s kiss
For the feeling of passion’s bliss
Whenever I’m around him I feel this tempest
Deep inside my heart is where it resides
