Near the Wishing Well

Near the wishing well, our hands entwined,
Where stand we to see the direction of our lives.

Frustrated and angry with all that we have tried,
I’m tired and dying, hoping to be revived.

A copper coin from me to you, to give to the well
To pay its due.
My hopes I toss in too,
Oh please! Please, make these dreams come true!

Beneath the calm and glassy pool, an army of hopes and dreams lies still,
Lulled to sleep in waters cool, entrapped within a frigid chill.
Cast in ages past and long ago by others in righteous act,
By lovers and dreamers or so, like brothers of a secret pact.

With bated breath and fragile heart, I’m anxious for your toss.
Each moment casts a fiery dart, and this wait becomes a cross.

I wonder if your wish will be as mine.
Will our hearts merge to form a single line?
Or, and I dread the thought,
Will you commit a crime?
Will your soul be bought, will your cast be far from mine?

Of your choice I have no assurance.
Of mine, I’ve known forever.
I have loved you without insurance, and I will love you ever.

And as that golden hope floats from fragile fingers,
Toward the awaiting ocean of whispered prayers,
I know that in its sweeping, graceful arch there lingers
Abounding joy eternal, or torturous, painful cares.

Here near the wishing well, our hands entwined,
Where stand we to see the direction of our lives.

Souls and hearts need not words, how I love her

Come and walk beside me.
Close together.
I wonder, do you love me?
A bit farther.
The darkness, a veil around us.
Not much longer.
Moon and stars a heavenly chorus.
Time, our father.
Souls and hearts need not words.
How I love her.
Your eyes say all I’ve never heard.
And here I linger.

Apart

Show me a glance that says you care
A silent smile between us share.
Save me your pity and false remorse,
Flaunted ego and empty discourse.
Have I hurt you, that you shy away?
Or something within me that’s got you so afraid?
Why don’t you see me as you see yourself:
Clean and pure, in no need of help?
Until then, our lives remain apart
Until you see, and see within my heart.

I will wait for you my love, forever I will wait

Through passing seasons of precious life,
I’ll wait for you.
For all the reasons I said tonight,
I’ll wait for you.
And I’ll wait for you my love,
Forever I will wait.

Whatever trouble tomorrow brings,
I’ll wait for you.
In pain and sorrow, and hurtful things,
I’ll wait for you.
And I’ll wait for you my love,
Forever I will wait.

Until the day I close my eyes,
I’ll wait for you.
And to this world bid my goodbye,
I’ll wait for you.
And I’ll wait for you my love,
Forever I will wait.
