Forever On My Mind
The fragrance of a yellow rose,
Floating about the air,
Reminds me of another time,
And of beauty so rare.
The melodic strains of an orchestra,
Whitsping through the night,
Remind me of another time,
And so of a lovely sight.
Remembrance such as these,
Floods my thoughts with rhyme,
And I can not help but long for,
The song of another time.
A time when life made sense to me,
When love was everywhere;
When you and I would dance and dance,
While your fragrance filled the air.
Such memories consume me,
And they constantly remind;
That you, my sweet, are in my heart,
And forever on my mind.
The Rose
Some say love, it is a river,
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor,
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
And endless, aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you, it's only seed.
It's a heart afraid of breaking,
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dying,
That never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely,
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong:
Just remember, in the winter,
Far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,
In the Spring, becomes a rose.
Dream
If I could have my dreams come true,
These are the things I'd like to do.
To have a cabin deep in the woods,
And someone to share both the bad and the good.
We'd lie by the fireplace, forever it seems,
And share with each other our future dreams.
As we tire of talking, we'd snuggle up close,
These are the times, I'd cheris the most.
The times when I feel so close to someone,
Who gives me such pleasure and so much fun,
Who isn't afraid of what the future may bring,
And share so much love, that our hearts sing.
Sometimes I wonder will my dreams come true?
And I ask myself, could it be with you?
I don't have the answer, atleast not to share,
I'm afraid if I share them, you wouldn't care,
So, until the time comes, when the timing is right,
I'll cherish our time everyday and night.
And if in the future, our dreams become one,
Then I'll know that my dream has only begun.
To have you beside me, through the rough seas and good,
I know we'd make magic, I'm sure we could.
For you are my soul mate, I believe in my heart,
And to get to our dreams, we must first make a start.
So, please take my hand, and don't be afraid,
I believe that together, our cabin will be made.
I'll never doubt my feelings for you,
And if you return them, all our dreams can come true.
