"SHY'S Poems"

....................."A Friend"......................
            A friend is more precious 
            then silver or gold
            It's someone you can count on 
            It's a hand to hold
            It's someone you can turn to in
            Your deepest hour of need
            They will listen to your troubles
            and they can feel your heart bleed
            They will share your joy when you are happy
            They show pride in what you do
            They will give you constructive critisim
            Because they truly care for you
            God makes friends and sends 
            them in his place
            Because he knows we all need someone
            we can talk to face to face

                   ....."The Ring".....
            Close by the door
            He paused to stand
            as he took the ring
            off his hand
            all who were looking
            could not speak
            as a silent tear
            rolled down his cheek
            memories of the moments
            of loving fun
            when they would eat lunch 
            out in the sun
            It made him feel
            lonesome and sad
            remembering all 
            They once had
            she understood
            he must not feel
            but what they once had
            he couldnt see
            her deep blue eyes
            now have grown cold
            he remembered the secret
            they once told
            He whispered "I love you"
            as he bent near
            it was so soft 
            and hard to bear
            on her finger
            he placed a ring
            and the forgiveness
            It would bring
            He said "God bless you"
            and gave her a kiss
            to the only girl 
            he would really miss
            the door was closed
            his head hung low
            as they carried her casket
            out thru the snow

            ..... JUST FRIENDS.....
            I never meant to love you
            It happened quite by chance
            I just wanted to be your friend 
            Not start a new romance
            But something happened suddenly
            Before my heart knew
            I came to know a side of you
            That caused my heart to grow
            The tender ways you touched me
            I prayed would never end
            A miracle of circumstance
            You were my lover.....my friend...

                ....."Twilight Falls".....
            Twilight falls
            The spirit of the sea calls
            She is a lost dove
            Lost without his love
            Once young and free
            thier love was meant to be
            She silently cries
            as she again hears his last goodbye
            a missunderstanding
            has left her standing
            alone and crying
            she sets her spirit to flying
            to search o'er the land and sea
            for her losr mate, she prays
            please bring him back to me

            Twilight falls
            the spirit of the sea calls
            she calls out into the night
            she has and endless plight
            she calls he is out here somewhere
            please spirits take me there
            He once said  his love was true and pure
            Now only he holds the cure
            all she wanted was his love
            and together they would sail 
            on the wings of a dove
            together  into the sunset
            Just like the day they first met
            She dreams of his touch
            She still loves him very much
            And the day he said goodbye
            she cried..she wanted to die
          
            Twilight falls
            the spirit of the sea calls
            her heart is breaking
            her body is aching
            he left her empty and alone
            he didn't even phone
            she cries out , where is he
            how could he do this to me...

           ....."Ballad of a lost soul".....
            With each day dawning
            another one comes spawning
            With each little lie
            another day dies
            another heart is broken
            another soul is just a token
            a token of broken promises
            another soul lost in the calamity
            Where is the new day? the soul screams out
            The soul stands upon the highest mountain 
            and shouts
            Look of desparation and despair upon the face
            clothed in tattered lace
            words..had broke the heart so pure
            now another soul is endured
            a fateful shattering
            the wrongful tattering
            a soul must go upon the earth
            and search through the muck and the mire
            some go behind the soul
            and they laugh and they smirk
            UNTIL that day , when they too
            have had thier hearts broken in two
            Is there an end?
            to make these hearts mend
            Is there a cure?
            to make these hearts sure
            Will these souls ever be whole?
            we can only give hope to the soul
            and time for mending
            and the love they are sending
            is merciful and decsending
            only they  think life is  over and through
            and the souls have turned old and blue
            they have become hardned and old
            NO, thats not what ive been told
            I too was once a poor lost soul
            But a new love  has made me whole
            Yes, my friend there is a cure
            out there somewhere is another heart 
            that is pure
            and like me 
            you will see
            that there is life beyond the broken
            shattered pieces
            and there you will find new releases
            like books , we have to go on searching
            to find that certain one that is lurking
            it might be the soul right next to you
            who, yes has been a soul broken and blue
            you both overlooked the signs of love and
            romance
            and valued the friendship too much to 
            give it a chance
            in life we must take steps
            for it is love in our heart we kept
..........................................................
           ....."Always There".....
           Why I dream of you
           I shall never know
           It always happens the most 
           when i'm feeling low
           because you were always there
           when I needed love
           But now the Lord has chosen you
           and your living up above
           I feel you watching over me
           to see that i'm ok
           I'll never forget you
           for the love you sent my way.......

           ....."Stolen Moments".....
           He flew in on a darkened night
           at first she was frightened  by his sight
           A large  bird with wings so wide
           But Oh to see him glide
           His heart of gold
           Thier legend unfolds
           She is  his lady fair
           with the long flowing hair
           and he her Hawk
           soothed her when he talked
           the words would appear
           like music in her ears
           A few stolen moments in time
           Is that a crime?
           If it is she will do the time
           His words she savors
           like a sweet flavor
           His heart of gold 
           his words are told
           On his wings ..they take flight
           on the blankets of darkness into the night
           although the love they cant profess
           she holds the moments close to her chest
           Close to her heart
           Vowing never to let them depart
           She is his lady fair
           To whom he shall always care
           The stolen moments in time
           His words she holds close to her bossom
           As the love they've stolen blossoms
           On the wings of the Hawk she shall fly
           From night ,till morning draws nigh
......................................................................
           ....."Endless Flight".....
           She is a lonesome dove
           looking for her lost love
           She flies on endlessly
           searching  over the sea
           far and above
           searching for her lost love
           Her ship had come in
           and like the waves, floated out again
           She flies day and night
           She wont give up her flight
           Her heart bleeds
           but yet her soul leads
           she flies on endlessly without rest
           she won't rest until alas she has ended her quest
           till she is safe in his arms 
           away from all lifes harms
           until then....she flies
           she cries..
           she flies over the sea
           searching on endlessly................

           ....."Secret Love"........
           Before you
           I was alone and blue
           What real love was
           I didnt have a clue
           A steel wall I had built
           around my heart
           Somehow you knew
           the right words to take it apart
           You have lit a fire
           and now my heart burns with desire
           our lips meet
           and I taste your kisses so sweet

           But alas our love is forbidden
           So we must keep it hidden
           But the few precious moments we share
           shows how much we care

           And together we will walk in the rain
           as the gentle drops wash away our pains
           and reveal to you how much I love you
           and our hearts beat as one instead of two

           And someday our love will be free
           and not kept under lock and key
           and we will give our past a shove
           and we will be able to profess our love
            
           To show the world just what you mean to me
           and like the waves..we will drift upon the sea
           and like the children of the night
           we must not give up the fight
           My darling.....Everytime you see a dove
           Remember me.....Us...and our SECRET LOVE...
.......................................................................
           ....."Haunted by his memories".....
           Haunted by his memories
           Tossing and turning like the stormy seas
           His voice so kind
           My love had me blind
           It was my heart
           He had torn apart

           Haunted by his memories
           he still holds the keys
           he tore down my defenses
           and now the walls are mere fences

           Haunted by his memories
           remembering the night we sailed the sea
           the wind blowing through  my hair
           with him at my side .I didnt have a care
         
           Haunted by his memories
           remembering begging him please
           Our love has meant so much
           And I still feel his every touch

           Haunted by his memories
           Trying to turnn away from the sea
           trying to rebuild my life
           still only dreaming to be his wife

           Haunted by his memories
           I want to turn and flee
           My heart shouts NO!
           my mind says ,turn and go

           Haunted by his memories
           remembering how he'd hold me
           Sea's waves rise and fall
           Overhead I hear a lonesome call
          
           Haunted by his memories
           wading out into the sea
           the murky waters ,they becon to me
           "Come ..come..let ir be..alas you will finally 
            be free"

            Haunted by his memories
            I step out into the sea
            no longer a prisoner  of his love
            I now live up above........
......................................................................
            ....."Last Vow".....
            As I stand looking out to sea
            It's his sprit that becons me
            As I stand looking around
            It is my tears hitting the ground
            We had planned together to grow old
            And now my heart is so cold
            And from me you were taken away
            As the wind blows my body sways
            They sprinkled your ashes out to sea
            And with you went a part of me
            I only seem to stand and cry
            my body wants to die
            I want to be with you
            What am I to do
            With you I was so alive
            Without you I cannot survive
            Stepping off the edge
            I make you this final pledge
            as my body sinks to the seas floor
            WE will be together forever more.....
...................................................................
            ....."WHY?".....
            You came back..But why?
            to see if I could still cry?

            I promised myself I would stand proud
            But with you Im in a cloud

            I put around me a mound
            and yet you crumbled it to the ground

            Your words they shaken me
            and I guess you still hold the key

            Are you playing another game?
            and do you really feel the same?
 
            I willed my soul to survive
            yet with you I am so alive

            In my heart I do a search
            While you stand tall upon your pearch
             
            Have you come back to do it again?
            are you my foe or my friend?

            Is it my heart you plan to share
            Or is it me you really love?
....................................................................
           ....."I was the one".....
           I was the one who felt the pain
           and it was from my eyes tears 
           fell like rain
           I was the one you left behind
           And I was the one who learned
           the world could be so cold and unkind
           I was the one who heard the slamming 
           of the door
           And was me , whose knees hit the floor
           I was the one who decided to go on
           I am the one who suffers your presence
           now long gone
           I am the one who cannot sleep
           and yet I am the soul you chose to keep
           I am the one who looks out upon the sea
           and is my heart to which you still hold 
           the key
           Release me ...quit making me cry
           just let me go
           and please say goodbye...........
