The unique, the one and only, you.
You dance, move and speak with your movements.
The unique, the one and only, you.
The unique, the one and only, you.
Are there words? I do not believe in words anymore.
The unique, the one and only, you.
On the Corner
I am a stranger, an interested stranger,
From where I sit I see something unique, something beautiful.
Allow me to introduce myself, allow me to remain a mystery,
It does not matter for I am content to watch you move ever so graceful,
Like a dove in flight, like a swan in leisure,
You move in moments, snapshots of stillness,
You breathe warmth into the room,
Someday I will say thank you, but for now I only find the need to smile,
Just know everytime I smile, I am speaking to you without words,
I smile as a privileged man should, for I am a witness,
A witness to something special, something indescribable,
I wish for you to pause when you when read this,
Pause and gaze at a rose in bloom,
Find patience, embrace patience and you will find reward in the end,
You will see a portrait of yourself.
I see something within your eyes,
Something so familiar, something memorable,
I see myself, see my depth, and see my desire to find purity.
I do wish for you to know one simple, undeniable, truth,
Yesterday has passed; for all of your smiles, I am thankful,
For all of your tears, I am sorry,
In my pocket I carry a mirror, a reflection of you,
I will carry with it anytime you may need,
You will not have to ask, I will know.
I may be a stranger, but I am man of sight,
In your eyes, I see years of experience,
Travels, journeys, triumphs and heartbreaks,
Through it all you have survived,
Flourished, grown, and blossomed,
For I am a stranger, in body, in soul,
But I am an admiring stranger,
I have been waiting on the corner, for someone like you,
I may never hold your hand, may never hold you,
No matter, I have found my dreams to be real,
My wishes have found fulfillment,
For that I say thank, sit on the corner,
Admiring and silent,
But never to far away,
Remember these words, not me,
For you deserve something more.
Friends
In waiting I stand without walking,
For my feet remained drenched in fear,
Who am I? I do not really know,
For the mirror hanging before me seems blank,
My hands seem like those of a stranger,
For where has my smile gone if not here?
Sometimes I think without thought,
Just lost I desire a place to call home,
Home! A funny word with so much meaning,
For my feet remain without shoes,
So am I home or just standing in comfort?
Who am I? I do not really know.
But my eyes seem familiar in the mirror,
Their depth reminds me of a tunnel,
A mystery of questions without answers,
For with each day I continue to grow,
Evolving from a child into a man,
In regards to love, I know of beauty,
For those within my heart remain perfect,
They take away my sadness, my rain,
When I think of them I think of me,
They speak through my smile, my laugh,
In thought of them I find reason,
A place that I think I will call home,
Funny! For I have found my mirror,
My smile speaks from my heart,
Where pictures of you remain in perfection,
Who am I? A simple man with perfect friends.
J.S.
this is for a special person who has left us
Standing upon your bridge, I smile,
Looking upon the water into your eyes,
The fish swim within your image,
Never have you looked so beautiful,
My soul, my love, my grandson.
Even as my tears fall over my smile,
Crashing upon the water below,
I still find the time to remember you,
Your blue eyes look back at me,
My soul, My love, my grandson.
Your soul lives within me,
You had so many days before you,
How can I not miss your laugh,
If I could only hold you now,
My soul, My love, My grandson.
Sometimes we sit by your truck,
Hoping for you to come home,
I know you made heaven a better place,
That is why they choose you,
My soul, My love, My grandson.
The days will pass by without you,
Only they will never seem the same,
I will leave you a kiss in the wind,
For I say goodnight,
My soul, My love, My grandson.
Goodnight
The time has passed without you,
My love, my soul, my breathe,
My tears have fallen like the rain,
Quietly they have collected around my feet,
It is hard to laugh without you,
Somehow, I have carried on,
Ice cream will never be the same,
Nor will my days without you,
Never have I stopped loving you,
All you need to do is look for my smile,
You will search in eternity,
For my blank expressions will remain,
I still cherish your beauty,
For you made me blind to the sky,
For the sunset seems dim,
The stars somehow seem ordinary,
When I think of your beauty,
I miss your touch,
For you made me feel special,
You gave me your love,
How could I say thank you?
You honored me with your heart,
How could I say thank you?
We will always have each other,
I give you my friendship,
You will always be my love,
My soul and my breathe,
Goodnight my friend,
Goodnight my beauty,
Goodnight.
Father’s Day Thoughts
My tears have run throughout the days,
So long, to long have you been gone,
You gave me breathe, life,
You held me as a child,
Walked with me as I grew,
Your smile told me how proud you were,
I hope that my grin spoke to you,
There was never a moment, a second,
That I was not proud,
For you were my father,
What more could I ask,
You presence spoke volumes,
As a man, you stood tall,
You taught me of the falling leaves,
Who if not you taught me of the wind,
You made love simple with your laugh,
Even when you were mad, I knew,
Knew a gentle soul made of mirrors,
You wore your heart on your sleeve,
Like a man should you admitted fault,
Like a king you stood in the rain,
Enjoying the moment, you remained dry,
You taught me of simple beauty,
Who if not you taught me of strength,
You held me when I fell,
Guided me when I was lost,
Now I sit and wonder,
How far is heaven,
For you are my father,
You still walk with me,
For within my eyes I see you,
For within my heart I still love you,
For within my days I still miss you,
My tears have not run dry,
So long, to long have you been gone.
Father
Standing upon your grave, I weep,
For you have been gone for too long,
The moments have passed in the wind,
Your gentle way guides my sadness,
Mom misses you, within her soul,
You will forever be my father,
My smile, my thoughts, my eyes,
You breathe in my beating heart,
How I wish to make you proud,
Hold my hand above my smile,
Walk with me just like before,
Show me how to ride a bike,
I throw my ball weakly in the air,
You guide my pass in the wind,
Watching over me, I still know,
You will forever be my father,
Standing upon your grave, I weep.
A Moment
Distance falls short between us,
An admiring fool I just sit,
Looking through my amazed eyes,
A smile leaps from your lips,
Inspiring words of timeless beauty,
Your eyes speak of a pure soul,
Dozens of roses fall from your look,
Drowning men in waves of beauty,
Your hair runs in soft, patient lines,
Delicate, it surrounds you in sunshine,
With every word your spirit smiles,
White tones drip from your soul,
Every smile reminds me of a dove,
A free spirit looking for love,
A friend, a stranger, I almost know,
Two steps from walking away,
The night falls into the waiting sun,
With one last turn a sad goodnight,
For all the moments will remain,
Without a picture of beauty,
To guide my lasting words.
Crying Angel
Your tears fall under the night sky,
Strangers, we embrace in appreciation,
Do not cry my unknown angel,
Discover your beauty in my eyes,
For I see a gift within your soul,
Look within without blindness my angel,
Hold your hand just as another would,
Feel the touch of heaven within you,
For I see seven sunrises looking at me,
Seven beautiful rainbows standing in tears,
Why do you show me such emotion?
For I should be the one crumbling,
With wonder you have never known,
Known of my thoughts of desire,
Desire to give you a simple picture,
My tears hold within for you,
For my painting may never truly finish,
Brush strokes will never truly do,
For endless beauty has no color,
I leave my canvas littered white,
For purity should be your name,
So within white you are captured,
An angel, a fairy tale, a woman,
The stars twinkle in the distant sky,
Seeing you, nothing seems real,
Nothing for the stars lay upon my shoulder,
A shooting star so rare she cries in joy,
Do not cry for my words are for you,
For within my mind you will be my angel.
The Gift
My words fall to the ground like roses,
Walk upon the waiting pedals my angel,
Do not cry for my words are you,
Smile so you may hide the sun in light,
My door, forever, will be held open,
We must honor those who define beauty.
The sun rises over the waiting horizon,
My tired eyes write with respect of you,
Kiss the sky good morning my friend,
You have the touch of a blossoming angel,
Your eyes gave me a reason to grow,
My broken heart became whole in admiration.
The miles may grow between us,
Never will I be without images of you,
Just look in the endless oceans of horizons,
You give beauty a forever in your lines,
Lines traced into the pedals of a rose,
Holding one, now, all I can do is smile.
How do you say thank you for a breath,
Allow my friendship to give you life,
My words will serve as mirrors of birth,
Open your eyes my blind Juliet,
See your beauty in timeless respect,
Read my words if ever you do forget.
Gifts come to us even in people,
Find your soul of laughter my angel,
Give yourself all that I see in you,
For my part I will sit quietly in thought,
Quietly, waiting for the next shooting star,
Quietly, waiting for a tickling rain.
No matter the days that may pass,
The time will forever be slow,
Slow with thoughts of you,
Thoughts of your endless smile,
So many words may pass in time,
Only two will you need to know.
A gift.
Colliding Worlds
Snow falls all around me in quiet,
Worlds collide in simple fires,
Heat paints the horizon below me,
Anger curls around snowflakes,
We know of nothing except now.
Lights dance along the resting ground,
Paintings come to me in moments,
My lips rest upon the verge of fire,
The snow begins to fall heavier,
I know of nothing except now.
Acorns crackle in the distance,
There is still life even in cold,
My fire rumbles below my feet,
Holding me without shivers, I smile,
I know of nothing except now.
The sun begins to rise slowly,
Orange arms stretch towards me,
Snowflakes continue to fall,
Clouds hide the waiting day,
I know of nothing except now.
A single flake falls upon my nose,
Covering me in simple warmth,
My lips begin to smile with hope,
For the beauty of a found moment,
Stands, just in front of my, cold feet.
Found
My love remains even without you,
Hold me to shed me of my tears,
Love me even in my crying moments,
Forever will my heart remain empty,
Along with my fading, quiet smile,
Where must I go to be found?
My shoulders remain even without you,
Whisper upon my falling deafness,
For my smile has faded into the wind,
The walls seem to be growing taller,
Sunrises fall behind clouds of sadness,
Where must I go to be found?
My eyes remain even without you,
Your picture falls upon waiting floors,
Tears falling upon your still photo,
My kiss covers your beautiful smile,
Still I breathe without you my breath,
For even without you, I remain, found.
A Day
Days of rain give way to sun,
Tears dry amongst growing smiles,
Spring showers grow with laughter,
Happy children play in thawed fields,
Love springs in endless rivers,
Kisses fall upon desiring lips,
Desires springs from rainbows,
Magic beams in rays of light,
Hope anew we find in birth,
Cherish a baby with love,
For the day finds life,
In endless wonder,
For today is just a day,
Except in the hearts of many,
Who find reason in desire,
Find love in their hearts,
Tears in their happiness,
They find life in the day,
Love in the moment,
Heart in the every second,
Wish for you will know,
The love of endless seasons,
The love of endless lifetimes,
The love of a new day.
Reflection
Cool winds follow me along my journey,
Snow falls upon a lonely, lost beach,
Blankets of white cover seas of sand,
My footprints trace my every move,
The cold cuddles me into quiet,
Seagulls talk in the distant horizon,
One boat sails the tops of crashing waves,
We spend a moment together again,
If only in a moment of reflection,
I leave with a smile of cheer,
For we danced along the seven seas,
Walked upon grounds full of twigs,
Grew within beds of tall roses,
We found a life that only two could know,
Spending a moment together in reflection,
What could I ask for if not a moment with you?
Just Love
My clinched eyes tell a story of sadness,
A tear falls down my waiting cheeks,
Love whispers within my closing ears,
Mirrors live within my closed eyes,
Photos race through my tired mind,
Can you tell me where has my love gone?
Have you ever seen a moment of beauty?
My hands have been touched by falling water,
While I stood still reflecting amongst desert sands,
The sun has divided the hours reserved for darkness,
While the stars within her eyes twinkle in light,
Love can bring miracles simply met for one.
Walk with me down my road of simple desire,
Sit with me along rivers of cold rushing water,
Fall without hands to soften beds of softness,
As love will bring us beds of peaceful rest,
Do not step along rivers of fearful desires,
For love will guide the adventuress home.
Hello
Hello my lost soul, my friend,
Smile with the wind caressing you,
Hold me like no other before,
For with me we will forever be one,
Show me your beautiful smile,
Your lost soul has cried for so long,
Only you have feet full of miracles,
Touching the lives of so many,
Your words fall like raindrops,
Blessing smiles of those who read,
Show the world your waiting smile,
For only days, remain for us to live,
Hello my lost friend, my soul.
Closeness
Sitting within a field of roses,
Pedals fall between my soft hands,
Sunrises litter the distant skies,
You come to me in the wind,
My smile reaches into heaven,
Where you sit upon the clouds.
The time has passed without you,
Days have fallen into night,
Your smile escapes from my eyes,
Laughter seems quiet without you,
The wind still guides my step,
You come to me in memory,
Guiding me when I am sad,
Never will a day pass without you,
Your smile will shine through me,
So for now, I can only say goodnight.
Just Waiting
Within a glass of water I sit,
Waiting for a moment, not lost,
Change within our lives is easy,
When eyes see through us,
Our glory sits within our laps,
Only arms fall short of reach,
For fear makes us comfortable,
Only we know there is more,
So fall upon the waiting ground,
For within water there is birth,
Within a glass of water I wait,
Wait, for what I do not know?
Falling Rain
The falling rain washes me away,
For my colors run upon cold ground,
My shivers run within my broken heart,
Turning the corner of wonder and lust,
My life turns to what I do not know,
No matter my road has begun anew,
In the distance, the sun may rise,
Maybe the rain will forever fall,
No matter my day is forever,
So my walk must begin again.
Snow
Snow falls from sky to ground with care,
Capturing the imagination of waiting kids,
Windows remain without closed blinds,
With wide eyes watching each flake in falling.
Walking with my eyes watching in closure,
The touch of beauty falls upon my cheeks,
Frosted they appear in colors made for roses,
Even in the cold, the chill fades away.
Falling upon the waiting ground, I lay,
With the wind the only sound haunting me,
Your voice calls within the distance,
Frozen my smile creeps into the cold night.
My hands stretch far beyond my wings,
Pictures come to me in flashes of white,
You were my waiting angel in the night,
The snow begins to bury me in happiness.
You are gone, but never have I forgotten,
My angel comes to me in lost moments,
Tracing her heavenly body, I begin to move,
My body finds beauty in heavenly motion.
In still motion I just lay, in still motion,
A tear collects upon my warm heart,
For spring seems to becoming in the distance,
So where will I find my angel, if not in the snow?
My Mountain
Standing upon the bottom with wonder,
We fight our own fears within judgment,
Hoping with hope that today is our reward,
My feet begin the journey with only water,
I walk in cautious steps with slow feet,
My journey starts anew within the sunrise.
My father stands within the clouds smiling,
Each steps seems endless in thought,
Reflection keeps me slow in my pace,
The new dawn inspires me to begin again,
Every wrong turn needs my apology,
For all I ever wanted was to find myself.
Walk with me in my newfound glory,
For my happiness is within reach my friend,
Love me for I love all that I can be,
My steps begin to quicken with spirit,
The hill was once a mountain without you,
Only I know my life was born to be more.
Forever will I miss your beautiful soul,
Your steps fade with the passing of time,
My journey continues without me,
My everything has faded away leaving me,
For judgment will remain with time,
Only my strength can overcome fears.
The mountain continues to fall,
Hope springs from every river,
My water falls to the floor in pieces,
Pausing upon the top within a spring,
My tired lips quenched in waiting thirst,
The sun begins to fall within the sky.
Sitting upon the top of my hill,
The glory of my travels comes to me,
A smile greets my blossoming soul,
The evening falls into the night,
Stars shine capturing wishes of men,
I remain in quiet knowing I have me.
My Little Bird
My love has left me standing alone,
For life gives to us days of challenge,
Even after years of love my heart knows,
That my little bird has flown away,
Along with her, she took my waiting smile.
She danced with me as I held her close,
We made love like two best friends,
Laughing we always knew our love,
Would last through eternal days,
Now my little bird has gone away,
Along with my tears, I still cry.
The leaves fall along with seasons,
As the road grows even with length,
Left with just a mirror I only know,
Of the times we smiled for no reason,
Now my little bird has gone away,
Along with my carefree days of lust.
Our time grew with each passing year,
My hopes rested in her waiting arms,
Where I found rainbows and shooting stars,
Now I know only of rainy days even in sun,
For my little bird has gone forever away,
Even though my love has not faded from my day.
The cold air bites at my neck with warmth,
Reminding me of the nights wrapped in cold,
Lovers like us created fires without light,
Even in her slumber she breathed in beauty,
But now my little bird has gone forever away.
Along with my laughing heart which has faded away.
A Step Without Me
The sun rises in front of me,
Trees begin to blow in the wind,
The leaves crumble all around,
They fall from earth to ground,
Fluttering in the winds of forever,
They tell the story of a coming.
The sun lights the clouds,
The thunder claps between the rain,
Lighting flashes in the distance,
The grass begins to grow,
Their seed falls in plenty,
Drenching the arms of me.
My hands reach for eternity,
Finding nothing on either side,
They try to reach further,
With unending love driving me,
My knees crumble to the ground,
My hands grasp each blade of grass.
Searching they know nothing,
The rain caresses my back,
The drops run their own path,
Waking me from my world,
They show me you again,
My smile returns for a moment.
The rain draws me to you,
Shows me the beauty of tears,
The lessons of sorrow are gone,
When I know you will return,
My feet stand once again,
Until I take another step.
Crying Nights
My crying tears collect nicely,
Upon my soaked feet I stand,
In thought of what I have lost,
Hold me, so my shivers may cool,
The wind decorates my lips in ice,
Lonely lips befriended by fate,
Lost my journey has no end,
Pictures of you haunt me,
Even in sleep, I still weep,
Missing you my friend,
I close my eyes in hope,
Hope in finding my lost,
My goodnight comes closer,
Moments pass as long days,
Missing you, who knows my end,
Tonight collides with tomorrow,
Still you will be lost to me,
So why do I find comfort in never?
The Wind
(In Memory Of My Father)
The days have passed in number,
Moments capture my thoughts,
My grieving heart wishes for you,
My hands trace your cheeks,
My eyes seem to miss your smile,
So I find myself walking amongst the trees.
My laughter comforts my lonely heart,
You meant so much to me I can not cry,
For you may be watching in heaven,
So I stroll through your gardens,
Waiting for you to speak with me,
Waiting for the wind to cry.
The nights seem long in waiting,
The days seem longer in purpose,
Walking amongst your shadows,
Your feet just seem to be a bit small,
Your shirts still hang in the closet,
So I wait for you to speak with me.
My hero you will always be,
For my heart has thrown away the key,
You will forever be a part of me,
So I wait, sitting quietly on a beach,
For the wind to speak with me,
From heaven to my heart,
You will always have the wind.
Ordinary
I wish, I think and I wish once more,
Shall I propose or is a proposal not enough?
Humbly I admit to my naivety for such beauty is one of a kind,
I am ordinary, but I wish to offer my ordinary heart to you.
Fulfill my dreams, answer my prayers and you will never seek gratitude,
In your presence I will be grateful,
Be weak enough to seek your hand, allow my tears to be visible,
Under an ocean of grateful tears, you will find me smiling,
Smiling for unspeakable reasons, I am silent in your presence.
Miracles are indescribable; you are miraculous, without equal,
I would have to speak with the lips of an angel,
Honorable words, words in honor of you, need to be spoken from heaven,
I am ordinary, but I wish to offer my silence in honor of you.
I wish, I think and I wish once more.
I looked within your eyes just once,
Fell in love for the first time, breathless love,
In your eyes, I saw rain,
A million roses falling from a million stars,
The pedals rained upon me, baptized me, overwhelmed my stature.
The view from my knees, my grateful, weak, knees,
Shall remain a part of me, shall define me,
I was a man absent of soul, until you,
From the first moment I realized my heart was too small, too simple,
I was in love with you, in lust, loved you,
When my heart grows tired, my soul will be there,
I am ordinary, but I wish to offer my soul to you, for eternity and beyond.
I am ordinary, but I wish to offer every part of me, will it be enough?
