Can Tomorrow Come Without You?
Shadows cast across the floor
With reflections of the past
As I watched our love castle turn into sand.
We shared so much together
Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears;
And when you crawled into bed beside me
We lay together
With a sense of you; and a sense of me.
Whatever happened to us?
Our laughter was so sunny and bright
And your face was all I would see.
You once told me you loved me
And that I could believe in you.
Then the clouds started to gather
And darkness spread its wings.
I tried to block out all the...

Have You Ever Thought
Have you ever thought
“I would like to have all the answers in life?”
To wake up in the morning,
And there are all the meanings before you.
Not to have to spend hours and hours
Trying to solve the personal problems that lie ahead
Racking your brain for answers
To the many possibilities,
And not knowing the outcomes or consequences?
Playing around with your imagination
Perhaps thinking, “AHA! I've got it.”
Only to have two more problems popping up?
Are we in a world of “make believe”
Fooling ourselves by denying reality?...
“I would like to have all the answers in life?”
To wake up in the morning,
And there are all the meanings before you.
Not to have to spend hours and hours

And not knowing the outcomes or consequences?
Playing around with your imagination
Perhaps thinking, “AHA! I've got it.”
Only to have two more problems popping up?
Are we in a world of “make believe”
Fooling ourselves by denying reality?...

The Perfect Relationship
What do you expect?
A romantic love relationship is wonderful
But we are human beings with flaws.
The idea of unconditional love is great
But who can live up to it?
All of us have relationship expectations.
Quid pro quo (something for something)
It is often said a man gives love to get sex
And a woman gives sex to get love.
But usually there is a hidden agenda.
I expect this from you
But I don’t tell you.
Then I get mad and we fight.
We kiss and make-up
Yet, I still don’t tell you.
So, we fight again,...

Are You a Mugwump?
Are you a mugwump?
Whaaat?
A mugwump!
A mugwump is a bird
With his mug on one side of a tree branch
And his wump on the other side.
He lives in the land of in-between.
Some say, he is a fence straddler.
A mugwump is indecisive
And can’t make up his mind.
As a mugwump,
You don’t want to give up what you have
But you also want what you don’t have.
So you straddle.
To get off that branch,
You have to make a decision,
To make a decision,
You need to know your goal.
Knowing your goal will show your choices
But with...

The Love We Have
As the music, “Here comes the bride,” begins,
I smile, like everyone else, anticipating—
And with a wonderful glow
On your beautiful face,
Your father walks you down the isle to me,
Just like God did when He brought Eve to Adam.
God said that when I find a woman
And she becomes my wife
I will find something very good
And get favor from Him;
But I never knew, until I met you,
How difficult it would be
To find such a wonderful woman.
Now that I’ve found you
I realize how precious you are
Far more than silver, gold or...

I Love The Way You Smile
I love the way you smile,
Without pretense, no mask, simply you.
Looking at your eyes, I see them as windows without curtains
Because they are open and clear
As if to say, “You may look at my soul for I have nothing to hide,”
And if your eyes are the windows to your soul,
Then your mouth is its doorway, Especially when we kiss,
And how I feel when I’m close to you,
Easy and natural, just plain me, the real me.
There’s no need for me to put on or try to be something I’m not,
For when I’m with you, I feel like a person, not a thing,
And I see you as a...

Is there no end to this loneliness?
If only it were so simple, to cruise through life smelling roses;
But then the rain begins to fall
As you left me standing alone in the rain
With pain—stirring up my memories
And thoughts of you flowing through my mind insistently.
I believed in all that you said to me
And at one point, I loved you more than anything
But it’s obvious you had changed,
And left me without even a backwards glance.
How did you get so far from my heart
Without my becoming aware?
Saying goodbye is never easy
But reality is a slap in the face
That is...

When my loneliness gets me down
When my loneliness gets me down
My mind drifts to nostalgia in summer dreams
Because not having you in my life
Saddens me deeply with lovers’ tears
And takes me to emotional depths
Where my soul withers.
The love hidden in my heart
Blends with the silence of a lonely night
As I lie awake staring at the ceiling
Turning over happy memories in my mind and heart,
With nothing but my own fevered dreams to comfort me.
I think back to a year ago,
When I thought we'd never part.
But all I have now is great memories,
