As Sweet As Wine

Strummed my guitar along the way

the chorus echoing our lovely cheer

the village sung, the people’s voice

was heard in all towns that were near

I saw a girl, that walked the road

under the trees that gave her shade

she quickly turned, my heart then slowed,

I thought, “my God, is this my fate?”

She asked to sing a little more

as if I’d pleased her with my voice

so my guitar I picked back up

and with a smile she gave me joy

She said ‘hello’, I said ‘quite right,

for a goodbye is not in sight’,

between some songs, some notes and rhymes,

we drank some love as sweet as wine

Let There Be Light

Beneath the stars that shine above

  there placed the wise God of all flesh

a gentle soul, a fairer rose

  than all the rest we count as blessed,

He saw the world and dark it was

  He saw the void - the need for light;

His words were heard - without a pause,

'Let there be light. Let her shine bright!'

We Broke the Silent Sleep of Night

'Twas hard to catch a breath,

  with rushing words that were not scarce,

She spoke and spoke - I did the same,

With rushing words that were not scarce

The moon was lit, her voice was heard

  we broke the silent sleep of night,

We sat for hours, no one at bay

  'til dark gave way to morning light

Her eyes, to me, seemed shooting stars

  like gravity her soul did pull me fast,

She made me whole, she stole my heart, 

 with rushing words that were not scarce.

She Is There

Oh what dreams

  am I going to share;

When she sits on my mind

  when she reads my long stare?

Oh that time

  would forever stand still

Her sweet freckles I'd seek

  to myself delight in,

Oh that mole,

  sublime beside her lips,

Stands ruling all my being,

  as tiny as it seems,

In moments of hurt

  in moments of pain

In moments where sun

  is shadowed by rain,

                    

In moments of joy

  in moments of truth

In moments that laughter

  does truly me soothe,

                    - she is there.

She Gave Me a Smile

She saw me from afar;

Oceans apart.

She asked what beat so hard;

I said, "my heart".

She giggled, 

                       then she smiled

the cutest smile

                         there ever was.
