Give me a kiss to build a dream on
One caressing kiss before we part
To still and fill, my hungry heart
Give me what you alone can give
To last as long as I may live
Give me a kiss before you leave me
This small favor will relieve me
One kiss for my imagination
As you end our loves relation
A final kiss to quiet my sorrow
As you'll begone tomorrow
Leave me moments for my dreaming
So when my vacant heart is screaming
Memories of you will ease my pain
Thoughts of your kiss will keep me sane
From the pain of my grieving
Please kiss me once before leaving
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
Though I know it can't come true
I make this last request to you
Give me what you alone possess
A last request I now profess
Your lips I pray to caress
Would it not be too remiss
To offer one parting kiss
The bliss of a wishful kiss
One that I'll forever miss
A kiss....To build a dream on
Dedicated to Victoria Lee Beisler who died December 19, 1997.

I love you
Burns my heart in claim
I love you
Churns is burning flame
I love you
In the sunlight bright
Then love you
Thru each starry night
I'll love you
From a mountains crest
For loving you
Is my earthly request
I love you
Flies on eagles wings
May I love you
Two love birds sing
I still love you
Sounding waves on shores
I must love you
A bounding ocean roars
I have loved you
As my love imparts
True love
Cry my heart of hearts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My love for you will always be
As vibrant as the surging sea
Since I was made for you to love
And you were made by the lord above
To share with me in every way
A love that flowers day by day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After many years of travel
Searching for myself
I do believe I've found me
Deep in someone else
For you have made me realize
It's not myself I seek
But the beauty in a morning
Like the softness when you speak
The lovely in an evening
Like the color in your eyes
The passion in our meeting
Like the pleasure in your sighs....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The love one carries for another
Runs deep into the heart
Reaches farther than the soul
It cannot be expressed
It can be felt but not touched
It can't be seen but envisioned
It can keep you standing but may let you fall
A feeling that will never die
One that can be locked up inside
And stay with you forever!!!!

*Window*
I look through my window and see the world below so full of hopes and dreams still I feel so low. The pace so quick and frantic but still I do not panic. I sit and stare I wonder if their aware that I am there. Big and small I see the all some I admire and some I don't care. I wonder what they think or if their aware that life passes them by and does not stop. Their life so jumble and quick. I wonder if they'd stop just to look out their window like me.

*Mirror*
Looking in a mirror at this man I see. My reflection is a memory of what I used to be. I see a child that is frightened, Of life so big and fast. I see a tear forming in this looking glass. The tear is for the heartache that I must have caused. I want to say I'm sorry, But at last there's nothing at all. I stand in front of the mirror and wipe the tears away. And thank god this is tomorrow and that was yesterday.
