A Garden Of Roses
I remember when the watch
was new.
So shiny…so accurate, I could not believe
what I was seeing, that it was mine.
Here, in the garden of roses where I first
met you, the most beautiful woman
in the world.
Love bloomed…new, exciting and
wonderful, like a new watch.
Everything new, everything special,
in their own way.
All in time…endless time!
The watch stopped ticking one day.
Off to the watchmakers for a repair.
Love stopped one day.
There was no "love maker" to repair it.
We must have come to a crossroads
where you went left and I right.
No discussion…just a parting.
I blindly thought all was fine.
You with eyes fixed moved on
to someone else.
My thoughts I hold within.
Feelings disguised with a smile
for friends.
Inside, I pray for rain to wash the petals of
once beautiful roses now turned brown away.
The watch keeps ticking, perhaps one day
I will plant a new rose garden.

Wishing You Knew
How can I say "I love
you"
when all I have to offer
is yesterday
If I had a tomorrow
I would fall before you
pouring out my heart
laying my soul before you
Your image is always
before me
hanging there in space
tearing at my heart
You are more than a part
of me
more than I have a right to
but I cannot let go
of my thoughts or the image of you
If you knew
would you deny me even this
erase your image from my mind
I tempt fate each time I
write
trembling with fear
that you will realize
that "I love you".
