One day while walking on the beach I saw this vision of beauty. A woman of perfection like I have never seen before. As she came out of the water, waves crashed upon her long tan legs.

She looked up and caught me staring at her magnificence. Like a child caught steeling, I went to turn away, but before I could turn she answered my glance with a smile. It was a shy smile, as if she had no idea of her true beauty. I wanted to approach her, but I couldn't "not yet" I thought.

As she walked by her head turned with that same innocent smile. I couldn't wait any longer...I had to meet her. If only to get slapped, I had to try. I walked up to her and said "hi I'm" but before I could finish ... she said "no names, it's better that way". In a moment of confusion she leaned in and we kissed. It was a kiss like I have never known before. As I leaned back and opened my eyes, she was gone.

All that was left was the ceiling fan turning above my head................

IT WAS A DREAM




Policeman's Lament

Woke up in heaven
my life left behind.
Minus three kids
and a wife so divine.
What happens to them...now that I'm gone.
She is a housewife
my kids are so young.
I'll miss Jennifer's marriage.
My baby's first step.
Why didn't I do it
my life was all set?
I still smell the powder.
I still feel the burn.
Right through my heart
why didn't I learn.
So take my advice
and the lesson I found.
Wear the damn vest
or like me...be 6 feet in the ground.




Alone

You hear them talking about old souls.
Mine is young.
I've been in love once.
I remember the day she went away.
I asked her to stay.
She didn't.
Told me she loved me more then life itself.
There would be no one else.
She left.
If there is only one great love for everyone.
What happens to me.



The Kiss

Standing with our feet deep in the sand
We smile at each other as you leg go of my hand
You turn and walk away from me
With my image not in your eyes
A little teardrop falls down my face
As I watch you from behind
You walk so long the day is gone
You turn and look my way
As my eyes are filled with tears of joy
I wait for a short delay
You turn around and walk my way
Down the sandy beach
You seem so far away
You feel so out of reach
Once again you look at me
And grab my trembling hand
Standing in the sand
Looking into one another's eyes
Smiling at each other
We kiss.




A Chance

When I think of you I think of the future
When I dream of you we're holding hands
When I see a star I wish for you
Walking through the moonlit sands
I try to hide the way I feel
I've been hurt so many times
But then I think of how you are
And the night we drank red wine
I also know you've been hurt too
I would never harm you
The only thing I want from you
Is a chance.



Sweet Lady of the Mountains

Sweet lady of the mountains
Are you for real
Or a dream
I daydream of love
A woman of beauty and sadness
But with me you smile
For awhile....it seemed
We talked so fast...so much
In touch
My head would explode in joy
My heart raced
Then I saw you
A picture of beauty in jeans
And eyes
Eyes that could melt a heart in a glance
If given a chance... I would
Like to know you
Get to know that sad girl with the pretty eyes
Not a disguise...but you
The girl in the creek
Dancing and playing in the water
Just like me
We
A push on a swing..or a dance on a bridge
Driving so fast
Close to the ridge
Or a night in the woods alone
Howling at the moon
But are you a dream
Or like me
A dreamer.



Thinking of You

Because I'm always thinking of you
My sweet lady
How do I love you
With all my heart
Deep in my soul
Your vision is imbedded in my thoughts
A vision of sadness waiting to be held
To be loved
Afraid of love
So am I
But that won't stop how I feel
I'm strong enough for both of us
Until we meet
I'll hold back
If I can
I Can't
I know how I feel
Hope how you feel
That we will be
Together
As one
Love.
