Sunlight

Your love is like the sunlight

Shining down on me

It warms and caresses

And makes me feel carefree

Everything looks different
In your love's true light
Full of life and vibrancy
A blessing to my sight

Sometimes the clouds pass over
And hide your love from me
I know that it's still up there
It's just that I can't see

Through the rain and through the snow
And through the storms so fierce
Like an arrow from the bow
Your love will always pierce

But at last the darkness falls,
The sun has finally set
No weeping and no wailing,
No talking of regret

Instead I'll be rejoicing
That I walked within your light
And hoping for a new dawn
To end this lonely night

Reflections

I look in the mirror
and what do I see?
A fractured image
staring back at me

So many faces
all around,
splits and schisms
seem to abound

Is it possible?
Could it be?
Are all these faces
facets of me?

I don't know why
I'm so divided,
split apart
and many sided

But I'll try
to merge as one
all these pieces
come undone

As they blend
and reunite
I have a hope
I'm holding tight

That when at last
I reach my goal
I'll be myself
hale and whole

And then I'll shine
with an inner light
of purest love
burning bright

Web of Lies

Through a tangled web I weave

just trying to not get lost

Seems everyone is out to deceive

no matter what the cost

They say that truth will set you free
but how can truth be found?
When ears wont hear and eyes wont see
in illusion you'll be bound

And so the people in my life
can drive me to distraction
It's not that they are full of strife
or want a chain reaction

It's not that they don't care at all
or that their love is fake
It's just that they can feel so small
and in their heart's an ache

So I'll try my best to ease their pain
and all the hurt thereof
to show them how the truth can reign
with gentle caring love

Then perhaps one day they'll be set free
and know that inner peace
that comes about when you can "be"
and let the falseness cease

Just Add Ice...

Here is another short poem that I found lurking on my computer. I wrote it several years ago and promptly forgot about it. I can see why...can you say overdramatic and bitter?

Blended Love

When you give your heart to someone

And they treat it with gentle loving kindness

Awed at the gift that you have given them

You just don't expect it

When one day

They put it in a blender

and hit puree
