WHERE COULD I GO?

Where Could I Go?

Without you in my dream-filled arms

Down where the hopeful meet

I'd never know what love looks like

Or how it tastes so sweet.

Without you running down that road

In misty morning air

I'd never see the sun light rise

Like halos in your hair.

I'd never hear the song bird's song

And the joy that shines in eyes

I'd never know the ring of truth

That separates the lies.

I could not know the touch of bliss

That visits at that gate

Could only long for a tender kiss

To come and change my fate.

But there you are, and there you stand

With arms out-stretched to me

And there I run in breathless haste

To where you'll always be.

In dreams, as perfect as a rose

In sleep, where dreams come true

In midnight lands where dreamers flee,

I flee, and search for you.

For in this world, you do not dwell

On east or western shore

Your spirit passed this way but once

And caught my eyes no more.

Yet every night I hear your call

Your voice so low and deep

You say my name and I awake

There in the realm of sleep.

And hand in hand, we run and run

From daybreak's heartless sorrow

To find the night that has no end

That always comes tomorrow.

Where could I go but to my dreams?

No love waits at the dawn

My life's a lonely, loveless thing

Since you've grown wings and flown.

Where could I go? Where could I find

The love I miss so much

There in the green fields of the heart

Mere deserts, without your touch?

Perhaps one day I will come to you

Though I don't know if that will be

Till then, I'll run through these days to night

When you can come to me.

FALLING my birthday poem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dec 30th..................

Falling

I fell in love the day I was born

Like Elvis said "one frosty morn"

A winter's day nigh the New Year

And cried to find myself dropped here

From clouds of Glory, to Earth I came

To earthly parents and earthly name

I came from Heaven to find a place

And all my memory of there, replaced

I grew to find myself misfit

And full of wisdom, woe and wit

Feeling never at home on this round rock

And searching ever, it never stopped

Falling in love in the abyss of a heart

Reading the end of the story before the story would start

Looking for answers in the eyes of a stranger

Trusting in fools and dealing with danger

Falling and falling and falling, I fell

Falling from Heaven and falling through Hell

Loving the unseen and hoping somehow

I've fallen forever and I'm still falling now.

GAINS AND LOSSES

Gains and Losses

In the game of life, we lose a lot

Much more than we gain

And spend half our time out of our minds

And the other, half insane.

Our columns add up in tiny measures

But the minus columns are long

We hum our tunes about the moon

And never learn the song.

We walk the streets with solemn feet

And pass people we could love

But we don't have the time, we are so blind

To needs we don't think of.

Stock markets rise, stock markets fall

And we throw our money down

And riches lose or poverty gain

We swagger like a clown.

He who dies with the most toys wins

The saying goes today

But the winner loses all the same

When he throws his friends away.

And lovers come and lovers go

And people pass from Earth

And living flows so very slow

Between the death and birth.

We poets write in dark of night

Our prose for other's hearts

We see the love that others share

And of which we have no part.

And after death our fame may rise

And our verses published be

But the adoration given then

Our eyes will never see.

For poets only feel the losses

The suffering and pain

We do not know the face of love

Or blessings ever gain.

But if Heaven waits beyond the veil

As a reward for our trust

Then all our losses will fade away

And blow away like dust.

Perhaps this life was never meant

To be a poet's paradise

But through the preaching of our prose

Save other men from vice.

I cannot say, I do not know

I only know I yearn

To lose the losses and gain the gains

And to share what I have learned.
