Lost

Brown and round large flecks of gold
the kind of thing a person could get lost in
lashes so long they reach for the sky
afraid to look for fear of being lost in them
As if they look right through me
so warm so unafraid seeking out my face
when the sun hits them the gold shines so bright
it takes my breath away
Never really noticed until you were inches from my lips
how they drink in everything around each look a little more
every feeling so expressed inside those lash framed eyes
so easy to fall in one look is all it takes
Feeling them on me turning to see their beauty
never wanting to stop transfixed by the colors
by the emotion wrapped within only wanting more
reach into my soul just a look and I am yours
Journey

The steps at first small and unsure
and all at once it becomes a blur
loving living sharing your soul
giving taking losing control
Each step on the journey more of the heart
loving together tearing apart
the push the pull always in motion
following the road whatever the notion
It is not the destination or the end
but to our hearts the journey does lend
growing losing becoming ever more
no step that comes like the ones before
The journey teaches reaches breaks molds
never knowing what the future holds
never regret remember always seeking what is true
this journey called life for me and you

All the while I thought I had put it all away
the memories of what was left as they lay
with just one look there they came rushing back again
taking my heart back to remember when
So hard I’ve tried to push away at the edges of my soul
slowly piecing back together the parts to make a whole
and rushing back now overwhelmed unable to make them stop
like raindrops of memory drop by drop by drop
Like a river it overtakes me and I can no longer breathe it seems
invading every thought awake even into my dreams
things I thought were long since gone are back just as real
if I could only find a way to no longer feel
Rushing waters of memory wash over my soul as waves upon the sand
battering on every emotion so hard now just to stand
slowly I push back until the water I no longer feel
left once again to wonder what was and wasn’t real
Center

Here at the center of my world was where you once did reside
in my heart and soul the place you did abide
there was only you no one else the center of my space
now there’s just an empty whole that once was your place
Once the center of my everything I needed nothing more
where no one else had dared to tread before
let you in until there was nothing left of me
but you were only using and I was too blind to see
The very center of me and all that I held dear
my only thought was how to always keep you near
but you were only lying with every breath I took
with every word, every motion, every single look
Now that center left laid waste is filled with someone new
someone who truly loves me not a pretender like you
they give me everything you never did with love and all that’s real
and now at my center once again I truly feel
Everything

So many people want so many things they look right past what’s already there
things that they want too much and never get bypassing everything in front of them
pushing and pushing for things that will never be a reality in their lives
while letting the things they already have slip through their fingers
It’s always the grass is greener or if I only had this or that life would be perfect
but they fail to realize their life is already the best it can be
they walk right past the people who love them most
and try to find someone better someone they want more
They run right by all the things staring them in the face trying to find that elusive something else
and they inevitably end up without the things they thought they wanted and losing all that they had
you can only bypass the ones who care for you most for so long before they let go
and in the end it is you who is less by wanting something you had all along
Colors

Yellow and orange bright red as if in fire
beautiful breathtaking valleys covered in fall
crisp morning air sun streaked skies
as if in unison the universe sighs
Color so vivid taken in each one by one
aspens cottonwoods colors of fall
painted in brush strokes strong and tall
a kaleidoscope for the eyes and the soul
Change and renewal the passage of time
colors to mark each turn of the day
following the seasons as in life
each moment a piece of remembrance
Colors to fill valleys paint mountains touch souls
the past and future meeting in a time honored dance
blending of time one season to a new
the colors of fall the colors of you
Fall

And so comes the fall crisp and cool all colors and leaves
it comes to stadiums and fields in victory and loss
fans who wear their hearts on their sleeves
in the crisp autumn air the football they toss
Fields of green and sometimes blue or red
seats awash with the colors of colleges near and far
hoping it’s your team that comes out ahead
feeling as if your college is the day’s star
Names that echo against the bright fall sky
Dawgs, Gators, Sooners, Huskers, Tide
soaring on every play feeling that TD high
each fan bursting with team pride
The boys of fall are back on the field time now to play
cheer for your team put on the colors show your team pride
a brand new season starts with just this one day
get ready for the ride
