poems

I was looking through an old journal and found some poems I wrote. They are old and I never expected to share them with anyone but I guess I will now...

Love Never Dies

Your love has always kept me warm
acting as a light through every storm
When you had to go away I wanted you to stay
I was scared things would never be the same.
Everything looked dark and my sadness grew
then I thought of you and the love came through
I know it will be hard to say good-bye
there will even be times when I want to cry
but I know in my heart
love never dies.

(RIP Robert Wayne Hardison)


Sugar Coated Dreams

My need for someone to hold
harbors the poison killing my soul
dissolving my sugar coated dreams
forming sweet puddles on the ground
until they're lifted again by the sun's beams

The Sun is Bright

I keep hanging on to this pain I feel
It has become my companion
never leaving my side
afraid it might miss a moment

A moment in time
when the sky is blue
and the sun is bright
when I'm smiling
and welcome the light

I keep clearing my mind
trying to erase all these daydreams
fantasies that will never come true
I keep brushing my teeth
scrubbing and rinsing
trying to forget the taste of you
that moment

A moment in time
when the sky is blue
and the sun is bright
when I'm smiling
and welcome the light

I keep crying alone
wiping the tears
too proud to admit they fell
cleansing my eyes of all the times
I've pictured you in hell

How could this happen?
I knew better than that
When will I be rid of this pain?
I knew it was coming
that's why I kept running
but still you caught up
and left me in the rain.

So maybe I'm the one to blame...
So will I ever see it again?
this moment

A moment in time
when the sky is blue
and the sun is bright
when I'm smiling
and welcome the light

or will I be looking for you?
