~In Dedication to Brian Yale~

"BELOVED"

Today the world comes to life for you
I can hear the music swim through the sky
as the clouds diminish, and voices rise.


30 dozen roses to your house I'd send
a dozen for each year your beauty is spread
if only I knew where it is you live;
With the blanket I made
to keep your heart warm on those lonely days,
and a gentle kiss I'd place upon your lips
for today is your day to know such bliss.
Remember you are loved for the rest of the year
My Beloved Pookie, My Dear.

~I wrote this for Brian for his 30th birthday. I know he had a wonderful one, and that makes it all worth while. I put it here with much love, as always, Kristina Carpenter~

"STOLEN"

My Own Heart
From my control, Stolen;
By you, your hands, your heart, golden.

(c)2/2/98. ~I wrote this two days after my first Matchbox20 concert.

"STAR"

I reached to the sky tonight
to touch the star
that bears your name;
the more I stretched
that farther away you seemed.
Still, I keep wishing,
wishing you'd be a falling star,
falling, to my arms.

When your eyes aren't inside mine,
when your voice isn't inside my heart,
I'm alone, see,
like you,
blue, but shining through...
And when the sky is grey,
A sea of tears,
I'll close my eyes to a clear sky,
Where I reach out again, for you,
My Star.

(c)2/15/98 ~I wrote this late late at night, one of those nights burning candles, listening to music, and writing...I looked out the window, saw a star, reminded me of the sparkle in Brian's eyes...and i wrote STAR.

"DAISIES"

As you lay there
silently asleep,
I watch you,
captured within my own dream;
I single tear falls from my eye,
As I say goodnight
I leave daisies by your side
to greet you when you rise...
Will it ever be me
You wake to,
captured inside your blue eyes?!

(c)2/19/98 ~I wrote this laying in bed

"BE STILL MY LOVE(QUIET)"

Be still my heart
to help quiet my trembling hands
to help quiet my doubts
that you could ever love me.
Be still my love
come to me, lay with me
to help quiet our lonely hearts
to help quiet our empty tears.
Be still my life
I want this moment to never leave,
to help quiet the rustling trees
to help quiet, our fears.

(c)2/24/98

"MEANT TO BE?"

If the sky is falling
into the lavender ocean,
and if my tears are falling
with candle-lit emotion,
Does this mean, we're meant to be?

If you look inside my heart
and see your life,
and if you look into my eyes
and see your un-born child,
Does this mean, we're meant to be?

If I lay beside you in a dream
does that mean someday it will be reality?
If I'm cold, can I wear your raincoat,
can you warm me, shelter me?
If you show you care,
does this mean, we're meant to be?

If the world stops spinning
and there's nothing but You and I;
If you want to get to know me
we can know each other
and, could this mean,
we're meant to be?

(c)3/8/98

"DIVINE"

As the sun melts from the sky
I sit here with you by my side
held in your arms, captured by time;
watching the last light of day fade.
Your gentle touch upon my skin
the fire in your eyes burns bright again
I feel you there deep within
inside me, become one with my being.
You drink of my lips
like a glass of red wine
I lose myself in that moment
you taste just as divine.
And as the sun emerges in the morning
from the depth of the ocean in your eyes
I will remember this night
and how together, we shine.

(c)5/14/98

"WRAPPED"

Wrap your soul around my heart
feel how I love you, deeply.
Wrap myself in you,
I feel your life breathe in me.

Drink of me, my love
my lips long to taste your kiss
your touch brings the motion in my hips.
Drink of me, my ecstacy
feel the shimmer in me, mercury
share with me, enless eternity.

Wrap your soul around mine
feel us become one in time.
Wrap myself in your mind
I feel us perfect, entwined in the night.

(c) undated for some reason. I had an expirience just recently, that really made me believe I wrote this poem for a reason. Souls connect sometimes, and you don't realise it until later. It's a beautiful thing.

"INITIALLY"

Beneath the strands of streaked hair
Rise the most beautiful blue eyes
Inside a light that never dims
Angel of my heart
Never forget my devotion to you, in my veins, love swims.

Yearning to be happy
Again searching for the one who made you smile
Look no further my love, it was me
Eternity is here, you and I together, can make it real.

(c)8/19/98 ~Now, if you all are paying attention to what you just read, you'll see what's cool about this poem, there's a little secret hidden in there...if it baffles you, e-mail me and I'll tell ya, but it's pretty easy. I wrote this 5 days after my second Matchbox20 concert, which was in Philadelpia, PA. My first time meeting all 5 of the guys, almost didn't meet Brian(Thank you Adam!!)..was one of the most amazing, and moving expiriences of my life.

"THERE'S YOU"

Tired, but no longer tormented
in love, in happiness
there's realization, there's truth
there's you.

Tempted, but no longer saddened
in past tenses, in future mentions
there's a touch, there's warmth
there's always you.

Torn, but no longer shattered
inside your heart, you hold me together
there's life, there's light
there's you.

Rained on, but no longer washed out
in that moment,
you smiled at me
and melted the pain in my heart, away...
There's realization, there's truth
There's a touch, there's warmth
There's life, there's light,
There's you, There's always you.

(c)8/19/98 ~I wrote this on the same day as the one before. That whole week after that concert just was really something else, very emotional, very happy, much much realization came to me.

UNTITLED

Your eyes are a skyline
I want to be able to reach.
Your hair is as soft
as the sunshine I dream of you beneath.
Your lips are poetry
that I could never begin to descend.
Your body is a song
I could never sing
and your heart as a joy
I wish I could bring.
Your soul is a field of roses
I want to make love in,
and your mind is a place
I want to believe in.

Come lay with me
your arms and heart will see,
How special you are
and how good together, we can be.

(c)8/5/98 ~This poem, I am a bit proud of, it really describes how I feel, every line of this poem is true, The man is beautiful, in every sense of the word beauty, and I love him dearly. (PS...if anyone out there has any ideas for a title for this poem, PLEASE e-mail me, and let me know, I will give full credit to whoever gives me the title ..I tend to have a hard time titling my poems sometimes.
