A mouse on the run
is a joy indeed
knowing that the kill
it the only thrill I need.
Just to catch a glimpse,
I would wait for days
in this same spot
just waiting to graze.
You might think I am asleep
and my eyes may be closed
but still I’ll catch my prey;
I only need to use my nose.
Tell me just once,
that’s all it will take,
to make me stay forever
or leave me in your wake.
Tell me you feel it too
and that it’s not just in my mind
that my heart belongs to you
in a love that is so blind.
Tell me the truth,
no matter what it may be,
since we’ve only got tonight
before the flames will flee.
I have seen song bring together
two people who never knew
what they didn’t have in common
was all it took to say “I do.”
I have seen a gentle tune
heal the deepest wounds
created by a hate so deep
that all mankind should be doomed.
I have seen a heartbeat pulse
to a beat that shakes the soul
that once lay dormant
just waiting to become whole.
With all that music can do
there still exists one song
that drove us two so far apart
pointing out all that’s wrong.
in one ear
and out the other
these words
float away
hoping for the day
they will be heard
Spring flowers will bring
some salty showers indeed;
awed by Her beauty.
Love is broken hearts.
and mended souls.
Love is many parts.
and shared goals.
Love can break
or it can repair.
Love can lift you up
or bring despair.
Love can be blind
or see it all.
Love can catch you
when you fall.
Love is there
to fill the holes.
Love is broken hearts
and mended souls.
I’ve run out of things to say
so instead I’ve things to feel
and keep locked in my heart
while my head is left to reel.
Thoughts that have escaped
lay dying on the floor
as I hope for reason to return
so I have feelings no more.
I still can’t believe
you let her do that to me
how embarrassing it was
and you just didn’t see.
I looked you right in the eye
and pleaded for your help.
Still, you stood your ground,
perhaps I should have yelped.
I guess it is all over now
and you claim it was for the best
but how I’ll be teased,
you know cats love speaking in jest.
Forgive you, I may not,
but forget I’d like to do
so find me a fish this moment
so I can forget all about you.
Your beauty will not fade
with the years that pass
since some beauty is eternal
and inner beauty shall last.
A chill to the bone,
slipping on ice under foot;
warmed only by love.
