My Longing Heart
I have seen you and what you don’t show others,
I laughed and cried and knew you were my true lover.
We have shared everything the world has to share,
and I write this letter to you in unsettling despair.
I gave you my heart when others thought I was not wise,
I still love you even when you sought for my demise.
How could I love someone who bares me such pain,
but my heart aches for your touch in every vein.
Your smile and body has always got to be by my side,
and behind close doors in our passion will hide.
You have given me the world even with your life’s mess,
but now I have come to love you more then life I must confess.
You struck me down when I proved you were wrong,
but I feel little comfort from your absence and not feeling strong.
I was the rock and saw I could live in you,
so tell me that your words are true.
My love for you is and endless faith and peace,
but please don’t let me be deceased.
Oh tell me so I can finally look the other way,
for this I ask you and God and I will let you stay.
I will make my choice by my longing heart,
but please don’t let your violence ripe our lives apart.

Tell Me Why?
I have known all the emotions except one,
and there was no one that could do except one.
I have hated with every being in my soul,
and I have walking in hell until it took its toll.
I have buried all my secrets and laid them to rest,
but some how in your eyes I have felt I never past the test.
You gave me drink when I was parched dry,
you held my hand and loved me when I knew not why.
You were the one that set me before everything,
even when my ego did give you a sting.
Why did you do all these things to make my life so real,
and how by only one word could make me heal.
What do I say to the one that has brought such delight to my life,
do I call her lover, friend or take you as my wife.
You are the stone that I crash my rage upon everyday,
but you do not shy away, you just smile and continue to stay.
Tell me what did I do to deserve such love from a friend,
and to believe I have found someone that would stay to the end.
Take my hand and let me show you the world you gave to me,
look in to my eyes and see the human you have set free.
If not for you have would have parishes long ago,
for you were the only dove in a world dominated the crow.
I love you for this day until the time we die,
but one last question the love you gave free to me tell me why?
