Our Dreams Can Carry Us Beyond The Rainbows
If Only We Will Open Our Heart To That Chance
And Permit Our Soul To Embrace The Risk
For There Is A Price To Be Paid
For Great Love
That Price, Is Great Risk
We Place Our Hearts
In The Hands Of A Virtual Stranger
And Pray They Don't Crush It
But Without That Great Risk
Without That Great Trust
There Can Be No Great Love
It Saddens Me, How Many Damaged Souls Refuse The Risk
And Thus Shun Their Chance At Love
And Place Happiness Forever Out Of Reach
How quickly we reject the cold
Peace it descends to me
The wintery breeze
Blankets my thoughts
Chilling away those
That I won't miss
Yet it can be warming as the sun
And equally .. cleansing
I long to embrace it now
Silently caressing my soul
The midnight sun offers
And willingly .. I accept the gift

Two friends are like a pair of hands;
ViperGC
One looking after the other
Working totally in harmony with one another
Never striking one another
Nor envious, nor greedy
Never ashamed or afraid to admit truth
Never vengeful or classed
Never the need to impress
Our only argument
Who is Right ----
Who is Left ----
Most importantly ----
Who cares
When the skies darken and we know not where to turn,
We can curse and cause mischief,
We create worries without even a thought,
And somehow through it all, mom is there,
when we are lost and alone in the middle of a crowd,
when we lose our friends to that villian of time,
there's always mom.
we can be the real pain,
we can loose the agonies of unbriddled words,
but there's always mom.
we run and run and never call home,
we plow through bruises and cuts all round,
but there's always mom.
mom is always there,
her feelings pushed away, for her little one,
thank God for mom.

Joy
To create a song of love
Viper
To align the words that grasp the soul
To forfeit rhyme for a lovely phrase
That touches the heart with icey fingers
To insert a line that draws a tear
To paraphrase life in a song
To guide your pen in blissful flight
Is perhaps the grandest joy of all.
Missing something... a part of my soul
Never to be felt again
And what is left...
Is a River Of Tears
Viper
The rays of dawn are yet elusive this Christmas eve. Through the pane creeps the chill and weaves toward the dancing flames. The flames of the candles seem to fight among themselves, only to bow before the master in the hearth. Echoes of words from ages past are carved forever in the walls, as if by some unseen hand, silently, skillfully, permanently. Slowly come the voices, anger, love and understanding. Nearly undetected, they captivate my ears. The emotion I take from them somehow warms my night. A night begun alone, now flowers me with expectation. It occurs to me then, that loneliness is merely a need for love. Even though I sit alone, I am not lonely. To slow down, to stop, in some minute ebb of time, to notice things that I have passed unwittingly. To observe these things and listen to the voices, can only warm my heart. Is it not possible to draw love into your own heart from love that exists elsewhere? Can you not help but be warmed by a love shared by another two? Can you not help but be warmed by thoughts of love you have shared in some forgotten memory? Is this not the essence of Christmas? Everyone slowing, seeing, caring, if only for a moment, is this not a miracle? The flames have slowed to a whisper now and bid me farewell, yet their presence cannot be forgotten. A warm memory forever lingers. Is it not so with you and I ? |
The song my heart once knew has faded
The fullness which once embraced
The essence of love so keenly felt
The thread so tempting
Thus I walk yet further
Viper
The words .. distant and paled by longing
Echoes of joy yet remind
And sting of their absence
Lies tattered in the dust
Of a romance so welcomed
And filling of my very being
Yet void the substance and life it held
A yearning yet present
And wanting to hold that elusive life
Calls out to my heart
To grasp of desperation
Yet I know to do so is feigning
The memory fully intact
The ache subsiding
And ever to be a part of me
The You In Me
The you in me
The you in me
The you in me
The you in me
|
Looking behind me to the distance
Fleeting thoughts of those things past
For I know the dangers
Forward again, I step ahead
Hurriedly now I run to see
Falling closer now to me
My arms opened I take possession
Yet there is a knowing
My pace slows now
Our eyes engaged
Viper
I see the footprints in the sand
Extending to the horizon
From whence I came
I turn and continue my journey
Open to expectation, my heart
Yet likewise guarded I am
Yet for love the risk can be taken
And I most surely know
That safety is not the path to happiness
Smiling just to be alive
And then it catches my eye
That streak of light from the sky
Recognizing that which is to be
I strain with my very soul
To reach and be ready
It is a star and I the catcher be
Childlike anticipation fills me sure
The smile already born upon my soul
And in that exchange
My heart is forever given
To this starrider yet unknown
That comforts us both
For her fears match mine
And our souls forever entwine
Because life is renewed
And we walk on together
A singular spirit being thus born
And silently smiling
Hands together
We seek the new horizon
For the children, this is our reason.. our quest...
And to them.. we owe this debt...
For the children.. we must find the peace..
Our quest cannot fail.. we must find the peace...
We experience...taste... relish.. life... for the children...
For the children... we know... will continue...our quest...
What we have left...we have left.. for the children
This debt of life.. of peace...
We spend our lives...learning.. yearning...
For the peace.. for us...for the children..
The peace that surely lies in mankind..
Sleeping... raising an eye... not yet waking
Our quest.. for the children.. lies in ourselves..
To make this gift.. we must first possess it...
Let it encompass our souls.. for the children
And teach them of it.. our quest.. for the children...
My heart... open... willing
Never refusing..
Ever embracing..
Arms.. extending...
From that open heart
To you... My Open Arms
Viper
Let me be judged by my choices
Look back along my life
The body weary
Viper
Begun at birth
Our lifes journey
Filled with experience
And endless choice
I stand by them
Even the poor ones
For even they expand my horizon
Reflecting upon those choices
My heart and soul visible there
And what drives me
From the journey past
My soul yet soaring
Being always, Young at Heart
My gaze falls upon the starlit sky
Thus I face destiny with soulful determination
Alone toward the distant path
Verse by Viper
The endless expanse captures my imagination
And I seek my place in all that matters
Questions unbounded, I struggle to focus
Life's reflections dimly light my way
Dodging the shadows as best I can
My choice but one, to move ahead
Contented at having done my human best
Strife requieted, peace embraces me
The unanswered questions matter no more
My thoughts no more consumed
Seeking answers that perpetually escape
Tranquil, and courage my stronger ally
There is peace in knowing what I've sewn
And knowing my spirit has solemnly grown
The wisdom of years standing me fast
And I am able to challenge any task
My heart smiles in knowing who I am
And I am warmed, my path is sound
