Lost

Lost to my eyes was the morning sun
When to this day I did arise
Dark clouds hovered high above
As showers shared my skies

And my world was dark and miserable
With my heart much like this day
For you were far away from me
Yes so far from where I now lay

It was so very hard for me start
All alone to face this new day
For usually I start it off with you
With the little games of love we played

And yet its so very hard to do
As I got ready to go to work
For I am always a part of  you
But loneliness so close now lurked

Its tentacles tried to entrap me
Placing lonely doubts into  my mind
I tried to overcome my inner thoughts
But they overwhelmed me time after time

For lost to my eyes was my morning sun
This cold day when from my bed I arose
That  Shakespeare could not even capture
My mood in sweet succulent lines of  prose.

One And Only

A soul is not mean't to live alone
And heart is not meant to be lonely
A dream sometimes has a message
With a hope to believe in love only

I could have never really imagined
What in the world happened to me today
For I was shaken deep within my spirit
By a sweet joy that now wants to stay

I never would want to really belong
To another for a long lasting time
But reality awakened me from a daydream
When the chance came to make you mine

And though there was some hesitation
A fear of not believing what my eyes did see
I was lost and found in a single moment
When in my mind you would not let me be

For my greastest fear was to be captured
With my heart falling behind in tow
But I realized once I embraced you
From my life I will never let you go.
