  By Myself
 
I know it's true, that what you say, is how you see it anyway.
And now the realization sets itsself so deeply in my heart.
The fact you're leaving doesn't help to make a foolish man any wiser.
If this were the script,for the lead,in your movie Lord I'd just refuse the part.
 
So lets not drag this any longer, lets not tear away whats left,
this day's not getting any younger,just leave me here...... by myself.
 
You had it right when you said no one could restrain your pain or endless turmoil
And all the baggage that you've carried through those years
now lays displayed upon my mind.
I know some day you'll find your peace but now I wonder if the price
was not too costly.
For the burden of, distorted love, has manufactured tears that will not stop.

 What can I Give?

Can I give to you my love,
will you take, what I offer?
can I give to you my soul ?
take all , or take part.
Have you given away,
any secrets that  were promised?
Have you taken away,  the promise of your heart?

Is the future of you, with or without me?
Now this question seems to burn so deep within.
will you be, my only lover,
or should I just give in?

will you take what I give?
will you  have any moments,
when my spirit makes love with your dreams?
Every day that I live,
Are endless thoughts about you.
And every night, you're there as well, it seems.

Will I wake next to you, or will you just be,
fading images of dreams no longer clear?
will our old eyes, gaze into each others,
or glisten from the tears?

what I miss


I miss the sound of your sweet good night
wrapping my spirit around yours
as I fall asleep
I miss the morning embrace
the feel of your hand on the back of my wrist
as your breast forms to the palm of my hand
I miss the stolen moments of the day
when there is a hug or kiss or sweet word
with the playful promise of a love filled night
I miss the hidden touch in a store or public place
the look in your eyes that entice  and
scold me at the same moment
while your smile is fighting to show
I miss the words I love you
given as freely as the heart that holds it
I miss the heart that held it


Endless Treasure

We sat and watched the sun, go down upon the water.

A breeze of salt carressed our skin.

The crying birds called out, as if they knew we'd listen,

So long ago thats been

Love should be long gone, but it just wont fade away.

Your gentle voice sometimes, stirs within my slumber.

Your face still dominates my dreams.

I know your spirits dance that lives within my music,

or so it seems.

Love should be long gone,but it just wont fade away.

Though all the years go past,and all has changed before us,

Your smile creates each thankful way;

That you have found to give me love, of endless measure,

Ive heard them say,

Love should be long gone,but it just wont fade away.

Its only long gone, when you let it fade away.

  River Bound 
              By Sandra Dyer
 
Goin to the river down a red dirt road,
leavin competition theres no grass  to be mowed.
 
Sittin by the river listenin to a tune,
later from the patio we watch the moon.
 
Relaxin in the trees, catching all the breeze,
with my one and only squeeze.
Takin care of folks, paying off the notes,
havin a good time in the styx.
 
Goin to the river cause we'll have some fun,
gonna feed the fishes in the shade or the sun.
 
Watchin happy people floatin down the stream,
everything's so beautiful this must be a dream.
 
Relaxin on the pier, givin a cheer,
happy just to be right here.
The view is so fine it's better than wine,
havin a good time in the styx
and that's how you can get your kicks.
