Loves Promises

Every night as you sleep,
I check up on you.
I run my fingers through your head,
Wipe away the sweat beads that appear
From being too deep in the covers.
I examine your small fingers,
And kiss everyone.

I’m reminded of the day I first set my eyes on you,
Small and innocent.
When the nurse placed you in my arms,
I was lost,
Lost in my love for you.
You looked at me long and hard,
And then a small smile formed around the sweet corners of your beautiful face.
Slowly your eyes closed,
And you fell into a blissful sleep.
Tears spring to my eyes.

I still couldn’t believe you were mine,
I could not believe you came from me.
And I was amazed and moved that god had shed his grace on me.
I had so many fears,
But they vanished the moment I set my eyes on you.
You are my everything.

I vowed that day to make all your dreams and hopes come true.
Since that winter morning
I have lived every day for you.
And will continue to do so.
Your happiness will be my happiness,
Your dreams will be my dreams.
And I will stay by your side in every conquest you face,
In every heartache you may come against,
I will be your haven to seek solace and comfort in.


These are my promises to you.

Sesames

Last night as I drove through the busy lit roads looking at the bright evening sky with the wind blowing in my face I thought of you.  I thought of you and wondered where you were, what you were doing, what you were thinking, and if, just if, there were any ifs in your mind......On nights like this I feel like the skies above me feel my sorrow and yet somehow I feel free..maybe its because I feel one when immersed in such beauty or maybe because it's those times that I can be true to myself and you...who knows..but I still hear the voices and questions in my head, the minute I'm alone or lying in bed or when I open my eyes to the bright specks of sunlight streaming through my curtains and the innocent singing of the mockingbird outside my bedroom window, I hear them, it's as if with your exit came a new companion for me, my own companionship, my twin who always lived in my subconscious but far from haunting me, now she haunts me every day with her continuous questions....Wh...

Tears

When I see her tears, her pain why do I ache in here? Is this justice? If the burden of both tears and pain were her, what justice would that be? Were her tears and her pain to be mine, justice would be done The tears welled up from her heart. I made her cry.  When her tears stream down here why do I ache in here? She says I don’t understand anything.  If I never understood anything, How come I understand what I am and what she is ?

All

 gave you all I had I gave you my heart I gave you my life I gave you my soul I gave you my happiness I gave you my tears I gave you my hope And I gave you even  more But what did you give me? You gave me pain You gave me shame You gave me heartache You gave me burdens to carry You gave me loss You gave me lies You wrapped me with defeat You surrounded me with evil And then you vanished. And now I've grieved I've shed so many tears I've felt my heart shudder I've felt my body age I've felt my heart harden I have only one more space,  A space left unfilled A space filled with fear I'm afraid because of you The space I have is small but true I need truth. The one above,  only he knows I trust in him and him alone He is the judger of all judges Some day he will catch up with you It will be a day of great truth All my tears and heartache, They will wrap around you, And shake you in a fury,  And spread pain in every corner of your body, He will spread it to yo...
