*ME*
This heart bears no harm to anyone,
so why does it feel
the pain?
The pain of love, The pain of lust,
The pain
of wanting something
That seems so far out of reach.
I just want to feel the Love,
The one true feeling
of being “in” love,
The need to feel the wanting
the caring,
The love for me, as me.
No one else.
Don’t mold me into something you think I am
Don’t make me feel what you want me to feel
Let me do these as I can..
as I want.. as I will.
Take me as I am, not as you want me to be
For you will get what I am, and nothing more
There is more, but learning together
Is the Special thing about Love.

*A Hill To Climb*
I know there is a hill to climb,
one higher then I’ve been,
One Special place for me
to shine, so brilliantly.
I want to climb this hill alone,
to see what I can see,
I need to see what’s at the top,
waiting there for me.
I need to reach the top of it,
to take in all the view,
if it has a place for me,
or has a place for you.
This need to be on top,
means that I want to be,
someone Special in my life,
not for you, but me.

*Tides*
There comes a time in everyone’s life,
For tears and fears to be tossed aside.
The feelings deep within our souls,
Ebbing like the morning tide.
The sound of the surf,
The flight of the birds,
The heart beating rapidly,
Is all that is heard.
The joy rising in my heart,
The smile on my face,
Wondering if I can truly,
Keep this pace.
The energy created,
From the sights on the shore,
Brings tears of happiness,
And I’m sure there will be more.

*Memories*
I remember an open field with bright green grass,
and autumn leaves falling slowly to the ground.
A stream gurgling into a forgotten lake,
to add to the still waters, not used any longer.
A cabin in the middle of nowhere
with the much used look about it.
Where is this place?
Why do I dream of it,
yet can’t find it in the files
of my mind and memory.
It’s a quiet place, so lonely,
yet so beautiful, and so
familiar.
When will I see this place again?
In a dream, or the future?
Could it be that I have lived before?
When?
Who am I?
Will I ever know?

*Wanna Be*
In your arms I wanna be
Just us two in ecstasy,
Laughing, Hugging, Kissing too.
I just wanna be with you..
Making love throughout the night
Waking with the morning light.
Walking hand in hand down the avenue,
I just wanna be with you.
Each of us seeing new things together,
Making memories to last forever,
Wanting, Needing, Loving too,
I just wanna be with you.
