A Question Mark In Time



"Dreamer"

D are to believe you are able to achieve
R est peacefully, all your doubts relieve
E very moment counts, not one is a waste
A rrive at each scene, yet without haste
M iracles do occur, living is never in vain
E veryone matters, despite all of our pain
R emember that a dreamer will always dream



"Compassion"

If no one had compassion
If nobody cared anymore
What a sad world it
would be to live in



"Rejection"

Sharp as a pricking thorn
words pierce like a sword
laying open all the wounds
venomous, poisonous darts
the critical, crushing blows
death to the wounded soul
that's the sting of rejection



"Put Your Hands On Me"

Here we are together, alone at last
it is time to forget about the past
from now on, only our future matters
just you and I in a honeymoon suite
with wonderful dreams to build upon

So, come here and put your hands on me
there is nowhere else I'd rather be
caress me gently, hold me so close
I promise you I will always be true
blessed by Father, Son and Holy Ghost
forever, I will need you the most

Earlier today we pledged our love
side-by-side we exchanged our vows
a precious kiss, two bands of gold
a lifetime journey, ours to unfold
the best years for us are yet to be

So, lie down and put your hands on me
our bodies move together, so free
your love crosses every inch of me
such pleasures, we have never known
ecstasy is sent down from up above
man and wife share life in God's love



"Turning Forty"

I suddenly feel so much older
wish I could learn to be bolder
time has escaped from my hands
through all of life's demands

People say I look twenty-five
as I try to keep my youth alive
it feels like it is fading fast
why didn't all those years last?

Look in the mirror, will I see
an old woman staring back at me
my own face, will I recognize?
peering from behind these eyes

So much time I have just wasted
so much life I have never tasted
many dreams have yet to come true
sweet dreams that are old and new

When I cry I will always remember
my hope was born in cold December
when I feel sad over many things
I'll embrace the joy Jesus brings

My heart may sometimes feel sad
yet my faith makes my soul glad
as I weep over life never lived
I'll reach out with love to give

Making the transition isn't easy
turning forty does not please me
soon, I'll laugh and smile again
learn to become my best friend

Until then, I will search within
give myself a little time to mend
I'll figure out where I do belong
the Lord above will keep me strong



"Just A Little Bit Longer"

I won't promise you I'm
the only woman for you
I won't promise I'll be
all that you want me to

All I can offer is a love
that would last forever
a dream that will not fade
whatever we may endeavor

So would you stay with me
just a little bit longer?
Please don't go away
give our love a chance
Will you choose to be
right here by my side?
Will you decide to do
what your heart tells you?

I won't promise to give you
this world near and far
I won't promise to give you
the biggest, brightest star

All I can offer is a life
so filled with happiness
a vision of our tomorrows
by God we will be blessed

So would you stay with me
just a little bit longer?
Please don't go away
give our love a chance
Will you choose to be
right here by my side?
Will you decide to do
what your heart tells you?



"He Loves Me"

He loves me, that's all I need to know
he loves me, he's unafraid to let it show
I feel as if my heart will overflow cause
I never dreamed love could be like this
he changed my mind with his tender kiss

Other guys have only made me cry but
he promised to never tell me good-bye
because this man really does love me

He says I'm the center of his universe
his words don't even sound rehearsed
he says with every fiber of his being
he offers me true emotion and meaning
I see the truth in his admiring eyes
he isn't just feeding me a pack of lies

He says that he thinks of me constantly
he fell deeply in love with me easily
he says within him burns a raging fire
building a future with me is his desire
his words are beautiful, his sexy look
provided a mesmerizing, special hook

He loves me, that's all I need to know
he loves me, he's unafraid to let it show
I feel as if my heart will overflow cause
I never dreamed love could be like this
he changed my mind with his tender kiss

Other guys have only made me cry but
he promised to never tell me good-bye
because this man really does love me



"Someone Else Instead (Infidelity)"

I don't understand, you shattered our plans
you've sacrificed hopes and destroyed dreams
all for the chance to be with another woman
am I nothing to you, is she your everything
Do you love her more than you ever loved me
or is she merely a mindless one-night-stand?

She's wrong for you and I am right
so where will you spend your nights?
Will it be with her, will it be with me
or will it be with someone else instead?

Tell me, do you have a heart for me anymore
cause you have carelessly ripped mine apart
you're cold and cruel, what else could I do
but chalk this nightmare up to an infidelity
Are you still mine or simply biding your time
how long will it be before you push me away?

She's wrong for you and I am right
so where will you spend your nights?
Will it be with her, will it be with me
or will it be with someone else instead?



"Beautiful Surrender"

When I remembered all the others
I never thought I'd find a lover
who would remain here by my side
my feelings, I'd learned to hide
romance had only brought me pain
there seemed no escape from rain

Until the day I heard your song play
whispering that you are here to stay
with hope and a sweet love so tender
I offer to you a beautiful surrender

When other lovers chose to leave
my heart was only made to grieve
dreams were buried deeply within
my belief in forever had worn thin
much easier to give up and not try
than to have another say good-bye

Until the day I heard your song play
whispering that you are here to stay
with hope and a sweet love so tender
I offer to you a beautiful surrender

Once I tried to be tough, in a world
that treats you so rough, as a girl
but I won't deal with sorrow anymore
since true love has walked in my door
I am giving you the rest of my life
now that we've become man and wife



"A Question Mark In Time"

A question mark in time
remains without answers
crossing over the lines
just like a necromancer
seeking out the spirits
through multiple visits

A question mark in time
swirling like a cyclone
invitation to the divine
finding galaxies unknown
spinning around like a top
likely nevermore to stop



Sonnet Poetry:

"The Bonnet Sonnet"

From the husband to his wife:

Shall I regard thy countenance today?
Thou art a vision of such loveliness.
Rough yet so gentle is the game we play
And thou carry thyself with much finesse.
Sometime upon thy head a bonnet rests
And thus reminds me of thy mother's face.
And how her life was filled with many tests
By standing tall she moved about with grace.
But thou art still so young and unafraid
Nor dost thou consider the consequence.
Nor refuse to lie in the bed thy made
When besought by any of life's events.
So wear thy blue bonnet with much delight
So remind me thou art my wife tonight.



5-7-5 Poem:

"The Reunion"

For ten years she grieved
waiting for their reunion
he welcomed her home



Free-form Haiku:

"Your Hands"

Your hands they heal me
and comfort my weary soul
while the storm's raging



Tanka Poem:

"The Lighthouse"

The beacon shines bright
from the tower where I stand
when your ship glides in
at last you've returned to me
the lighthouse welcomes you home



Faith Poem:

"Crying Out To You"

Father God, can you hear me
life is a difficult journey
I'm here, crying out to You
are my prayers getting through

All the things I've wanted
oh, I try to remain undaunted
seems impossible to achieve
to keep my faith and believe

My best friend is with child
a tiny baby so meek and mild
soon, her arms will be filled
yet my own womb is empty still

My brothers both wed this year
as I brush away a lonely tear
they have women of their dreams
my life is very empty, it seems

Forty is approaching me fast
I wish the moments would last
whatever happened to the time
it has gone and left me behind

Watching the successful people
distracted from the church steeple
it feels like I have done so little
snares entangle me in the middle

I yearn to be a mother and wife
not be alone for the rest of my life
please, answer my sincere prayer
oh, Holy One, Who is always there

Father God, can you hear me
life is a difficult journey
I'm here, crying out to you
are my prayers getting through



ABC Poem:

"Creating Life With Words"

Clickety-clack go those keys
Deftness of fingers is required
Evoking images with descriptions
Fleshing out a birthing of words
Zounds, what a new creation!



Acrostic Valentine's Poem:

"Romantic"

Rosy are your cheeks like the rose in my hand
Ovation I'll give, when you sing I will stand
Merry is the feeling, my heart you are molding
Angel is the face of the beauty I'm beholding
Never will we part, your love I'd dearly miss
Tasty is sweet essence flowing from your kiss
Incredible sensations, always send me reeling
Cherish you I do, for God's gift I'm kneeling



Short Love Poem:

"Breathing New Life"

My heart feels overwhelmed
a beautiful blessing you are
breathing new life into my soul



Naani Poetry:

"Love And Kindness"

In order to nurture
a beautiful relationship
one must sow the seeds
of love and kindness



Haiku:

"Autumn Tapestry"

Brilliant color scheme
fills me with awe and wonder
collage of beauty
