Escape me......by Robert Browning

Escape me?
Never
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear:
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up to begin again,
So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound,
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope drops to ground
Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,
I shape me
Ever
Removed!

Your love is so strong and bright
it leaves me with a smile when i fall asleep at night,
when im dreaming hours seem as minutes
because i cherish every moment with you in it,
Waking up to your voice “good morning”
sends my heart and soul high a soaring,
love is said to last only till death
but our love will prove stronger than our final breath,
what i am saying is i love you for heavens sake
and when we die our love begins again at heavens gate.

Child of the wilderness....

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness

Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion

Never dream out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You've always known your heart was on its own

So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone

Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone..

Sometimes when I’m angry,
I wish I was not here,
I just wish I could chase away,
All of my losses and fears.

Sometimes I just want to die,
Or wish I was never born,
Because of the pain,
The tears, lies, and scorn.

Sometimes when I’m happy,
Which is pretty rare these days,
My happiness chases the shadows,
But to some delay.

For some unknown reason,
It takes a while to smile,
Maybe its the deaths,
The agony and denial.

But sometimes when I forget,
Which is hardly ever,
The pain is chased away,
By friends who will stay forever.

 

If I Were... by Lucky

If I were a memory I’d hold you there forever
Reminding you of the good times we shared together

If I were a smile on your face I would stay
Never to let sadness chase me too far away

If I were a teardrop I’d roll gently down from your eyes
Not to burn much but to mend your sweet cries

If I were a hand I’d want you to hold me in your own
Carry me through life .. even when I’m grown

If I were feet I would stay inline with you
So I could be with you in all that you do

If I were a shadow I would always follow
We’d face things together in all the tomorrows

If I were pain I’d stay far away from the start
To make sure you never felt me or I never broke your heart

If I were a song I’d be a sweet sound to your ears
To keep up your hopes and carry you through the years

If I were strength I’d give you my all
I’d hold you high and never let your fall

If I were your heart I’d be steady and true
I’d be there in every beat; staying strong for you

If I were the sun I’d shine down upon your face
Illuminate your smile and radiate through your grace

If I were a star I’d sparkle like your eyes
I would look upon your life and never stop my shine

I don’t know how good at those things I could be
I’m not any of them but this I want you to see

If I were a friend I couldn’t let you down
I’d never let you fall or walk away from me with a frown

If I were a friend I would hold your hand
I would be with you always, I hope you understand

If I were a friend I would give you my all
And though it’s not much, I’ll be there when you call

If I were a friend I’d be in every memory too
When you laughed, when you cried, I’d be with you

I CAN be these things, it’s not impossible to be a friend
I CAN be your best and I’ll be here till the end

If I were forever, you would be too
Together forever – me and you…

Portrait of a Friend"......

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
                from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

To The Moon And Back.... by Trevor

No matter what happens my soul will never leave
You are constantly giving me a reason to believe.
Together we've been both happy and sad
Supportive through the good and the bad.
We talked about the future, your husband and my wife
And took time to ponder the mysteries of life.

If it be that all is but a dream
Then why do we not wake?
Our dream may be easily given
But is it really that hard to take?
No matter whether it is or not
We hope our thoughts are too deep
But if one of us happens to wake
The other will wait for them to return to sleep.

So as we go on we must remember
Everyday for January to December
The bond that we hold with each other
I'm sure you would be proud to call me brother
For you are like a sister to me
As I'm sure you've always been able to see.

When difficulties come here
I shall never disappear.
And though I may not always be by your side
I will try my hardest even after I have died.
Time may come to be rough
And if the other is not there we must be tough.
Taking comfort day by day
in those words we always say.
"I Love You Always, forever, whenever,
To the Moon and Back together."

The One and Only You
by Chris

I want you to remember
Those good old days
Those days of happiness
When everything went your way

I want you to cherish these memories
I don't want you to let them go
And I hope they make you happy
As they did so long ago

I wish I could comfort you
Shield you from life's pain
I wish I could just give you everything
You definitely deserve something to gain

You've always told me not to give up
Well here is a lesson for you
If you ever need me, call
That is all you have to do

You've been through so much these days
I'm sure God has something planned out
But in order to see it
You cannot be blinded by doubt

So help me help you
Tell me everything you're going through
Let go of all these troubles
Because the more you hold on the more it doubles

Please, I can see your smile fading
I can hear your voice crack

You may not be near
But you know I got your back

In the past I wasn't always there
Give me a chance this time
I swear on my life I'll be right beside you
To save the emptiness in your mind

With your heart so fragile
With your soul so true
This is a tribute
To the one and only you

So smile your gorgeous smile
Walk with your chin held high
Get up off the ground
Don't let your dreams die
