WHISPER OF LOVEFor Steve and DeborahIn the silence of the evening, a whisper came to me. A very happy bride-to-be is united with her youth. For her long awaited bridegroom has come to calm his own. The years ahead are looming and the joys will yet be earned. But the roses that entwine your path will shield from horrid thorns. Always look to sunshine and know that rain must fall. All the while hold in your heart that love still conquers all. |
The Stranger WithinSweet pitiful youth! Why deceive this way?You clothe with pitfalls, we carry along the way. You look toward your elders and say to yourself, "Why are they changing, in spite of themselves?" You spring forth, run and romp in the sun, Ignoring the rumble and thunder to come. The decades go by and one day you glimpse, The stranger inside you and laugh at its strength. The stranger is gaining your will won't endure, At last youth must give way, to the stranger that is you. |
Love FulfilledHow does the embryo of love begin?Is it born upon the wind? Flowing softly into each heart, Entwined fantasy if forceful knots, Oh to liquify the river of love- Bathe in its essence given from above Swept away in lover's desire Two souls have fulfilled all that's required. |
