290 Forever [23 February 2000]

I’m going to love you forever.
This is my promise.
Until the sun will never rise again,
the oceans will freeze their tides,
the clouds float no longer in the sky.
I will cherish you,
hold you close to my heart.
For you, my friend,
for you, the lover you may become.
You were the bee
that fertilized this flower,
causing it to bloom and flourish.
You are the very reason
that like a butterfly
out of the cocoon,
I have come out.
To forget you,
would be forgetting myself.
I will love you
until time itself
no longer exists.

288 My Strength [09 February 2000]

You are strength
A pillar of stone
I lean upon.
Just to be near you is to be
Apart of your might.
You are my truth
The honesty I desire.
I believe in you
And all that you are.
If I could lose myself
Within you
I would gladly
I would fall into your arms
And never come up for air.
I love the way you smile at me.
I love the way your arms surround me.
You are love.
The only one I’ve ever truly cared for.
You’ve taught me
To give of myself
To give you my heart
And love you completely.
If I asked you,
Would you love me?
Not just in pieces,
But in all parts?
I know that today is not the time
For me to fall in love.
But I will love you
Without question,
Without regret.
Even if fate
Sends us our different ways,
I will find you
And love you until I die.

0282 Life’s Music [1999]

Like a song,
The wind through the trees.
Like a melody,
The talking brook.

The songs of a forest,
Like the heartbeat
Within a child’s breast,
Like the soul’s longing cry.

The heart’s mournful ballad
For a love so true.
The moon’s silent vigil,
Haunting like a chant.

The songs within,
The music without.
Sung by nature’s choirs
Listened to by human ears.
