Friendships
Friendships will come and go
reliable friends are ones who care
accepting them for who they are
never needing to ask them to be there.
.
Knowing there will be ups and downs
whether their decisions are right or wrong
always remember to understand them
lean on each other and be strong.
.
Learn when to step back
allowing each other to grow
comfort each other when you need to
emotions that your hearts will know.
.
Helping each other will only
unite friendships even more
being there for one another is
lifetime friends that you adore.
.
Even if you are long distance friends
reach out across the miles
in your hand, place their's
squeeze tight, share your smiles.
.
Through it all you will find, the
heartstrings that each of you will tug
everyone needs a friend like you
to share it all, even giving a hug.
.
Heaven knows you are a rare find
I'm thankful you call me friend
remember I'll always be here for you
         dearest friends, found on rainbow's end.
I can't promise
I can't promise you a friend
but if you ever need me, I'll be there
to comfort you when you need it
to wipe away your fallen tears.
I can't promise to always understand
but I'll stand by any of your decisons
to help you in any way I can
to always stand by your side.
I can't promise you a lifetime
but with every breath I take
up to the last beat of my heart
I'd gladly lay my life down for you.
I can't promise your forever
heaven knows how long we have
but for today, I still love you
even more than yesterday.

I touch
I touch the future
with my dreams
for in my dreams are magic
born with every dawn.
I touch the sun
with my heart
for in my heart lives a rainbow
born with every tear.
I touch the moon
with my mind
for in my mind lives hope
born with every dream.

Life's quilt
Life is spun with threads of gold
beginning with one, our childhood
the pattern small, just one color
yet so bright, needing to be understood.
With each passing year, we
add the many friends earned
the colors so many, yet so binding
tears fallen of what is learned.
As adults, our patterns change
for in experience, knowledge grows
with no pain, there is no peace
to learn is to be free, this the heart knows.
When we become the leaders
we add finally, the borders
but the end is not yet complete
for life has no plan, no order.
to be free, is to learn to live...

A kiss
The first kiss is always special
so innocent and such a delight
so tender, it softly whispers
the first touch to spark a light.
Forgotten forever, is the bearer
of the first magical kiss
but the kiss itself will go on
in memories of heavenly bliss.
Heated kisses of passion
one of so many in the night
takes away our very breath
such ecstasy to hold on tight.
A dream of an unborn kiss
kisses so sweet, so true
will be a dream to make come true
but for now, stolen kisses to endure.
A kiss that will last through eternity
is a kiss that unites two hearts as one
a beautiful kiss to cherish forever
a single kiss as bright as the sun.

Mirrors Reflection...
Looking through the windows
of your broken soul you'll see
an empty shell no longer recognized
of the person you used to be.
The mirror tells it all
it's jagged edge cuts through
unforgiven is broken promises
all traces gone of what was you.
Memories frozen in time
lonely voices cry deep inside
making you feel so cold
dreams forgotten you denied.
Living life motionless
your heart put on hold
your clocks time ran out
feeling lost and so old.
Night after night
you come back to glance
in the mirror to see
if you changed by any chance.
You lay down to once again dream
of a better life for you
reality haunts your sleep
dreading waking to nothing new.

Dreamers
The world is full of dreamers
born to dance upon the wind
their realm is that of fantasy
held tight by imagination.
Dreamers see a world not seen
painted with rainbow brushes
their pallette has many colors
for which to paint at their hearts desires.
Dreamers write songs of heaven
of angels on bended knees
fallen tears mixed with rain
sweet songs for us to dream.
So dream us a new beginning
in the night, we will belong
share with me your dreams
let your passions run wild and free.

Soul Friendships
From the time you were born, destiny found you worthy
the essence of your being, flows from your heart
beginning with your passion to live life to the fullest and
your willingness to learn and to always do your part.
Words of encouragement, sincerely you gave, you have
touched another life, inspiring within them hope
my views of you, constantly changes, daily
heart to heart, earnestly, we all try to cope.
Bridging the distnace, the miles that separate us
rainbows ends brings friendships across the way
to have you call me friend, makes my heart smile
our friendship binds with tears we share every day.
Souls recognizing each other, connecting as one
to bind our past with future dreams to come
become what it may, we'll always be here for one another
one friendship, one heart, one dream, not yet done.

How much
How much of yourself
are you willing to give
before there's an empty shell
no longer a life to live.
How much can you take
of what others dish out
overwhelmed by emotions
wondering what your life's about.
How much of a sacrifice
have others made for you
compromises and understanding
complications to get through.
How much time do you need
to figure where you're going to
which direction will you follow
and will the leader be you.
How much will it take
for your heart to heal
destroyed by life's illusion
your numb heart needs to once again feel.

United with darkness
For being afraid of the darkness
I frequently find myself there alone
locked tightly in it's steel grip
dealing with it's rage that's grown.
The darkness echos silent cries
mingled with many of my own fears
the tie's that binds us as one
are sealed with diamond tears.
For every step I try to move away
the darkness pulls me back in
our doubts are one and the same
so soon the nightmares to begin.
The beat of my heart echos in my ears
the darkness keeping beat with time
the void caresses me in it's arms
whispering haunting words, "Forever mine."
Giving up on ever being released
one without the other is emptiness
uneasy with the union, yet I remain
being one at home with the darkness.

Dear Friend...be you.
My nights and days are filled with thoughts of you
dear moments, the many laughters we alone share
friend to friend, heart to heart, hugs to hugs
I often wonder just how much you can really bear.
Will you always, please, call upon our friendship so new
always, we ask questions the heart already knows
be what it may, there are secrets already revealed
here by your side, to understand, our friendhip grows.
For whatever reason you feel I'd abandon you, I won't
you are a unique individual and very special to me
no obsticles or barriers you place will keep me away
matter of fact, our hearts are sealed, never to be set free.
What truths your tormented soul must weave through
I will support whatever you heart finally decides
love knows no bounderies, no rules, it doesn't discriminate
you must be you Dear Friend, the real you, that hides.

Wind kissed rose
Do not speak softly to me
for like the wind, I will not hear
do not touch my heart
for it will surely break
touch me with only your lips
see my inner beauty
it blooms like a rose
feel the morning dew
as it drips sweetly on your tongue
as with the wind
let me not pass your way again
for beauty only live once
in a rose...beauty...remembers.

Melanie
