You
By WAN
I see you reaching out to me.
Entreating me to help you see
Was it fate that brought us here
To face together all our fears.
To find a reason we are here
Lonely hearts and unshed tears
A mind that’s full of demon play
A motive needed to face the day
My mind has hindered the demons play
Enticing him to go away
I offer up my soul to him
My mind, my heart, I let go, and then…..
My body as a sacrifice
I never had to think it twice.
I travel slowly through your mind
My search won’t cease until I find
The pain that keeps you from letting go
I can’t stop, I have to know.
I find a restless soul who weeps
I beg the demon to go to sleep
Please free his mind, release his heart
Allow his life to finally start
My love for you is strong and true
There’s nothing I won’t do for you.
The demon sees and finally leaves
You’ve let it go
To haunt somebody else’s soul.

This time of year, an uncertain state
My mind is plagued with worry
Love is there, yet hearts still bleed
Depressed and melancholy
Yet somehow satisfied and content
They co-exist ironically
What keeps me here; what do I fear?
The adventure of each day?
I search my mind for memories lost
So unappreciated and then they’re gone
I see a smile meant just for me
My child’s hug, a kiss goodnight
A secret shared between best friends
Tears of laughter, a private joke
Ice cream savored on the tongue
Shared with him, the one I love
Each memory tucked and stashed away
Inside my mind, to be remembered
When sadness threatens once again
Waiting for that time to come
When clouds break up
Releasing my heart
The sun shines upon my face
At last I’ll know, that in my mind
The winter finally slumbers
To Us……..

Deep water, rising tides
Drowning in a sea of desire
Foreign territory
Waiting apprehensively
For what is almost perfect
To stumble and fall
Undaunted by the future
Yet still cautious
Treading slowly
Through unfamiliar terrain
Slightly insolated
From sweet words and promises
Promises, not made aloud
Still they were made
With each smile, each kiss, each caress
With every I love you said
Each meant honestly and completely
Still free to decide our destiny,
Together or separate, but hopefully together
Linked for life
In one way or another
Unwilling to let go
Of something so good, something so right.
Love, Happiness, Contentment and Trust
Finally they have meaning.

I remember lying in my bed
Shadows on the wall
From the night light in the corner
Waiting......
Waiting for my dad to tuck me in
Footsteps in the hall
The "Pretty Song" hummed to me
As my dad sits beside me on the bed
Slowly I close my eyes
Knowing it is safe to go to sleep
Written for my dad
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die, before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take.
Slide slowly down my face
In a sea of anquish and despair
I taste their saltiness on my tongue
as a reminder of my unhappiness
The echo of retreating footsteps
is like the beating of my heart
Now there is only silence
So deafening it hurts my ears,
LIke a naughty child
I have banished my thoughts
To a far corner in my mind
for to think is to feel
and to feel is to suffer
I close my eyes,
though sleep eludes me
The anger is imminent
but for now the pain is too powerful
As darkness surrounds me
My eyelids grow heavy
The sentence on my heart
has been lifted,
if only for awhile
for at last I am allowed to sleep.
