Looking For

I'm searching -
Searching for the look in your eyes I once saw
That told me without speaking that I was all
All you needed in this life
All that completed you and happiness.

Okay to Need

Tell me a tale

Of a heroine so true

Who fought off the terrors

Who knew what to do.

Sing me a song

Of a beauty who rode

Her horse to the ends of the earth

To find her eternal abode.

Whistle the tune of a bird

Who could fly to the top

Of the tallest evergreen.

To roost in her haven

In peace and liberty;

To look out upon a sea.

Confidence is acquired

By what one will do,

And simply thinking of courage

Will not cause it to be true.

I could fight a mighty battle

With terrors of insecurities.

I may ride away in victory

Atop a stallion to a home.

To finally rest, with peace of mind

High above the atrocities;

To gaze out at the deep deep ocean

and realize, suddenly... that I'm alone.

No, Someone to help me fight

The ghosts that rage inside,

Someone to steer the mare

As I hold on for the ride.

Someone to set my wings

On tight and just right,

Someone to fly beside

In this determined plight.

And to finally find a home

With the gentleness of the sea,

and oh, how much more the pleasure,

To have you share it with me.

(To need someone is okay;

You are not less of a being to feel so.

To want someone to stay,

and to never, ever let you go...)

Lady He Said

"Lady" he said

As he held out a hand,

Daring her to take the chance and say,

"Yes I'll go with you."

His eyes they spark with interest.

Excitement & mystery hidden well behind them.

Sweetness and charm pursue him

And any doubts escape her.

Inside she smiles reaching out,

"Dance? Yes, I would love to."

As My Dear One is Away

You are away from me,

Oh yes, distance is not a friend;

But may God show mercy

And quickly bring this to an end.
