HAPPY RIDVAN!!

SURRENDER

Her green eyes glittered

he was left wanting:

who is she?

Why does she haunt my dreams?

He awoke with a start!

And looked around the room

a breeze swept across from the window

as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes

he had dreamt of her for a fortnight

and still no peace of mind.

Was she just a will-o'-the-wisp?

Or an angel?

He asked with wondering

his need so intense

he had to find her before he lost his mind.

0h ye, of little faith

the voice whispered in his ear, surrender

Believe, it said, she is yours.

It shall be.

How can I know he cried?

She is but a dream

Have faith the voice whispered.

For if you have faith there will be no questions

 but without it there will be no answers.

A BITTER SKY OF GRAY

a bitter sky of    gray

A sandy beach below

two people hand in  hand

walk very slow

a distant moon begins

the sun descends once more

and though we feel there their love

we know it's not like before

Too many words that hurt the heart

too many tears tore them apart

too many fears to overcome

before the night is done

she wonders why can't he understand

her needs are small

he could hold them in his hand

He wonders why she doesn't know

he's just a man who loves her so

But words get in the way

of the essence of the heart

and no matter what is said it doesn't change

the picture sky of gray

a bitter sky of gray

Faces wet with tears and ocean spray

He holds her hands in his

He longs to say,” I love you”

She pulls away and walks ahead

so all alone, his words left unsaid

Please don't go his heart cries out

But in his silence, love dies

Beneath the bitter sky of gray
