The beat of your heart
As your chest is rising
Softly it falls as your eyes see mine
Hearing your breath
As your fingers are tracing
The outline of mine

And I’d give in all to have just once more
To see your smile through that door
And I’d live it again forever a day
Right from the start when time wasn’t afraid
Uncertainty lies of the path our feet walkin’
But glad that the journey unfolded with you

This is for you that you live to see all life gives
Wrapped up in blessings more than all you will ever need
Tied in a bow that protects your heart from ever getting broken
Happiness glittered all over bringing laughter to your days

There is no gift so precious as the gift of real true love
It’s easy to forget when life beats on all the years
What will you give to someone who has everything yet none
A piece of her she will give and the memory may be enough

To create that fire
To keep your hope
Burning for
Another day to come

And it felt like the rain falling on her face
When she felt his touch and his embrace
Time chased
They were hiding
Hearts beating
She felt his breath
And they escaped for a moment
While the world did not rest

Was this how it really was she wondered
For so long she just wanted to feel
Life being breathed so deeply inside her
For once feeling alive might just be real
Not wanting to let go as time ripped them apart
If only everything could stand still
Longing to feel his embrace once more
A memory she would not forget walking out the door

Only time will see if there’s hope for her and him…

A beautiful escape she feels the rush to pull him in
But reaching out she can only get so far
Pain it is so real a longing just to feel
All the moments shared and dreams to see his smile
She wonders how it’ll be to kiss his lips just this once
But the tears they fall so far
She’s tries just so hard
How can she stop the feelings of her heart

Only time will see if there’s hope for her and him…

For now she will sing
That you’re her beautiful symphony

Time passes on
Life’s river starts to flow
And soon the current pulls up
Right beneath her toes

Witness her strength
As she continues to grow
Reaching towards the sky
Where all her possibilities will show

Can they see
The cuts running deep
Yet she hides the wounds
With her lantern within
Can they hear
The story in each tear
Of this land unknown
Will she find her home

How ungrateful can one be
With a selfish thought in mind
That even though something was taken
Still something so precious was left behind
How wrong was it to long to hear
The sounds that you once spoke
For now when things seemed so unclear
Readily I’d take the step you took

I miss that voice your voice it was
One day I still wish for it back
But till that time comes round again
I’ll learn to love that which is here that we have
So short is time that we long for
So eager I wish to spend it
For when the time comes for another loss
I’ll know we did everything to defend it

Who are the patriots
We thought we once knew
Now they stay hidden
Blamed for surfacing truth
Their hearts so broken
Yearning for their voices heard
But only given opportunities
Of vague expressive words

Spores dispersed seeds planted in places the wind blew
Rain under covered branches the planted grew only a few
Hunger for more the branches would part
Sunlight seeped just enough for a meagre feed
No one thought different of this forest amongst us
The leaves all rustled to the same rhythm and beat
Nothing stopping the branches growing
Not even a threat to engulf it in flames

There she walked
Quietly into the forest
An iris she sought
To find
