A Flare

Even after all these years

I still remember you

I've thought of you a thousand times

and where you've traveled to …

Sometimes I see you in a crowd

but you're not really there

A memory from inside my heart

escaped within a flare...

Oh the power of those days

they never do let go

This deep impression in my heart

forever there I know…

Another Chance

I'm at the cross roads once again

an old familiar sight

A voice compels me to the left

another, to the right...

I've been right here so many times

my heart again it cries

The choices that I've made before

weren't always very wise...

I could turn back and never know

or take another chance

Perhaps this one will share with me

a lifetime of romance...

Photographs

Sorting through the photographs

so many memories

Thinking where and when it was

we captured all of these...

Snapshots from another time

I can't believe that's me

Life was so much simpler then

when we were young and free...

Smiles come easy, so do tears

and some bring laughter too

All these treasures in my hand

the life I shared with you...

Survivor

I've been alone in horrid storms

somehow I have survived

The tempest tore and wrenched my dreams

a thousand times I've cried...

They say that I am fortunate

and that I'm getting well

Remission is the cherished word

reward, for all this hell....

The Other Way

So what if you could turn back time

if only for a day...

Would you go back to where you were

and walk the other way?...

Beguiled

Beguiled by all your subtle charms

a spell you've cast on me

Was captured in the web you weaved

Why

It's been so long since you moved on

and time has passed us by

How is it that you still appear

and make me have to cry?...
