She lights the way for me to see,
and I walk with her through the trees amidst the lights,
and the summer breeze,
and she in her red dress she takes my hand,
and she leads me to a glade where the waterfall plays,
and we can swim for free,
and of the day we forget it all except for her and me,
and in our individual ways,
what shall be shall be for she is a wonder,
and a miracle to me,
and in her heart,
and in her humour and in her emotions,
and in her smiles, she sets me free,
and when, and when upon my way,
I can be what I can be,
in her touch she will light my soul,
and awaken me to life and of its many great possibilities,
because she works magic in my heart,
and I am open to the world,
and learned of all her feminine ways in which I bathe,
and which carry me through many troubles,
and with such vision and such clarity,
for she is of delicate sensitivity,
and she walks on air with no airs and graces that I can see,
and when,
when we hold each other close,
I feel the power of her warmth for we are as one,
and content and in each other’s love,
in each other’s love we are free.
Sunshine
Sunshine.
Sunshine upon a cloudy day,
Now, what but darkness,
could come with the disposition upon your face,
for you and your alcoholism and you,
you with your rambling ways,
you stagger here, and stagger there,
ranting and raving,
and bent upon such destructive ways,
and I wish I could help you,
but I have tried for years,
and for years and years you have done the same,
and you wake up in the morning,
and you head down the street to buy beer,
to block out your pain and what a life,
and what a shame,
because I knew you before,
I knew you when you were employed,
and well kempt,
but a relationship came along,
a relationship,
all tumultuous and rocky,
and destructive,
and emotionally wrong,
yes, but you took your part,
and in your eyes,
that were once full of life,
there is something missing today,
because you stand before me,
in your alcoholic haze,
and I, I wish I could save your life and yes,
I have tried many times,
but to my dismay,
It was not enough,
And I have given all I could give,
but here you are,
repeating the same mistakes,
again, and again and again,
despite the best advice of friends,
and your life,
continuously going wrong.
