MY GIRL

With the girl I loved most in life

I walked in street lamps glow

Could she hear my heart calling

for the love I never show

Treading lightly along beside

her footprints marked the snow

The warmth of heart I felt for her

I doubt she will ever know

With the girl I loved most in life

I walked in street lamps glow

Oh if I could stop Earth turning

then she might never go

THE SECRET

I dreamed three words within my mind

that longed to touch her heart

Each a third of the love

I had felt for her from the start

I'd hid these words I'd treasured so

praying they would only heed

But needing love they wanted out

to touch the soul they'd freed

So now at last I let them fly

as all would freely do

That she might know the first be I

the others Love and You

LONGING

Though now the clouds roll over me

as the west winds have blown

I find I long for distant plains

endless skies I have known

But what to me was east and west

and lure of many lands

could never replace the green grass

with tepid heated sands

For here was where I set my roots

bright summers in the glen

A-wash in colors of the fall

your heart shines now as then
