Chemistry

 

would i talk to much ... nervous chatter
would he hear me or would my heartbeating
drown my words?
i must not be quiet...for surely he will hear my thumping
chest
will he notice how i frown when concentrating or
will he instead laugh at how animated i am?
shall i sit on my hands?
will he grow quiet..please don't let him grow quiet
for i'll say such silly things to fill the void
and i cannot rewind, delete, start over.
will he think how i'm not so young
of course he will because it's true
and will he say to himself
'she looks much better in her photo's'
yes of course he will
because it's also true
but will he overlook it when he see's how i move?
that i am a woman with passion's flow 
i have it on choke hold
i have it locked up in chains
fearing something he'll do or say
will unlock a part of me that will make me
want him to want me
but maybe he won't want me
and i'll melt into myself
and it will turn into heartbreak
punishment for dissappointing his eyes
and that is such a shame for so
many feel the same way.
but i don't look with my eyes
i look with my heart and my body
chemistry talks to me..
i have no control over it and it
has no care of bone structure
muscle or age
it is much wiser than man
how did it become a part of me?
do we all have it? this chemistry?
would we all be better off if we listened to it
instead of our eyes?
i know my eyes are full and yet i'm hungry for more
i want to know everything dull and boring
this hunt for chemistry is a bloodhound
that bloodhound is me
and it scares me.

Distant Love

Don't let the miles between us Keep our love apart Just listen close and you will hear The beating of my heart No distance, will ever keep My heart from loving you There are no more tears for it to weep For a love that runs so true I'll be there with you one day soon To love you everyday And then my heart will sing a tune And you will hear it say I've finally found my one true love As true as one can be And now your all I'm thinking of Forever stay with me

TEMPEST

(Translated from the Spanish)

Heaven heaves a mighty sigh;

The great oaks bow and quake;

The ground billows into clouds

With the smell of hot and dry.

Birds are forced into silence;

The impetuous clouds furiously lash on

Devouring everything in sight

And building a blinding wall.

The sands before them flee;

Mouths and nostrils are choked.

The cry is out to beware--

The ground in anger rises!

 THE NIGHT SWEATS  

My love holds me quietly in his embrace

I am content and free from care

I softly reach up to touch his face

Only to find him not there!

*****

Fully awake now, I wipe my tears,

how long must I suffer his spell?

The lonely months have turned to years,

still in my heart he dwells.

**

Burried alive, was my love so pure

and alive it has remained,

How ever shall I forget or endure

without going slowly insane?

*

With each day passing into the night,

I take comfort in these secret pleasures.

In my dreams my love holds me tight,

while I gather a night time of treasures

***

Daylight brings stark reality

to the life that I have chosen

I walk, I talk and work and play,

the smile on my face is frozen.

^^^^

My life It seems, I'm wishing away,

awaiting  blessed hours of the night

When you will be waiting with open arms

to enfold me and make our world right.

COMFORTABLY NUMMIE

Dawning of Spring

 

Tis the dawning of spring

A most beautiful time of year

When Mother Nature awakens

Bringing forth new life to bear

 

Tis been a long cold winter

Whilst Mother Nature was at rest

Tis the dawning of the spring

When she'll be at her best

 

Whilst april's showers

Shall bring forth may's flowers

And Mother Nature's fine art

Will,for a short time,be our's

 

So stop and gaze upon her beauty

If you will

For Mother Nature Performs this precious miracle

But once a year

One can, but wonder

 

Imagine a world of no diversity,life taken for granted,no curiosity

No thought of the past,no hope for tommorrow

A heart wrenching thought,a world full of sorrow

 

What would be the purpose,what the need

A world dominated by hate,

ruled by greed

 

Does this sound familiar

Is this scene at task,the state of the world

which leads us to ask

 

From whence do we come,where are we headed

The seeds we have have sown,the climate

we've created

 

Is it too late,have the lines been drawn

as a society,have we failed

as a race,are we doomed

                             OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

 

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

THAT CAME DOWN AND TOUCHED ME ONE DAY

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

LIKE A DOVE, YOU CAME DOWN TO STAY

 

 

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

LET ME SLEEP IN PEACE WITHOUT DELAY

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

KEEP ME IN RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THY HOLY PATHWAY

 

 

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

SOMETIMES I SIT BACK IN WONDER AND DISMAY

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

WHEN I'M WRONG, TEACH ME IN COUNTLESS WAYS TO PRAY

 

 

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

YOU ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO LIFT MY BURDENS AWAY

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

YOU HAVE NEVER LET MY SOUL DECAY

 

 

OH, PRECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

USE ME, MAKE ME, CLEANSE ME, MOLD ME, AND SHAPE ME LIKE A PIECE OF CLAY

OH, PECIOUS NAILED SCARRED HANDS

THY LOVE IS LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS TO BE SUNG AND PLAYED

A  Special  "Someone"

 

From the day of one's birth,til the day of one's demise

A constant struggle for survival,a constant battle for one's life

This journey may be but a short one,this quest for life's lessons,which lie in store,a classroom for one's spirit,a special treasure to carry forth

 

If one may be so lucky,If  fate should be so kind

A special soul may greet you,a special "someone" for life's ride

A soulmate to accompany us,with whom life's accolades we may share,a friend to lighten our burdens,a love who really cares

 

So vigilance  upon one's journey,patience upon life's path

Many challenges shall confront you,many filled with life's rath

Still,be open to this gift,be open to this chance,through this special "someone"

Upon you,God's favor hath been cast

 Mighty River

 

From high upon mighty mountains,to lucious valleys below

Curves the mighty river,in search of banks to over flow

To look upon mighty river,so soft,does she seem

Oh,but it be a ruse,with mighty power,does she scream

 

The mighty oak, has she broken,as she bores out her rath

The terror that reigns,as she rolls upon her destructive path

Her beauty can turn to fury,with but a drenching storm

An the land shall change its form,as over banks she swarms

 

So respect this beauty of nature,when so peaceful,she may seem

Remember,despite her beauty,the horror she maybe

She is but a mighty force,as before you ,the river screams

Oh,but to think,she was once a little stream
