Last Kiss      You were in a rush You gave me a quick kiss And you were off I never realized that that kiss was to be the last one.... that our whole life together, just like the quick kiss would vanish in a split second There was no proper warning... That was no proper way... to end a lifetime of togetherness with a mere kiss on the run. (Original Words)
	New Widow's Song Paper comes from trees that once were alive. Ink typed on paper announces ...death. here is where eternal loneliness dwells. Nothing ever happens No mess unless I make it. No sounds unless I make them. What is there to do in this heartbreaking silence? So alone.... I am a sponge for loneliness, for pity. What else is there? What is my purpose now? I don't even know where I am supposed to be going anymore. words from a poem by Joey Gidseg   New Widow's Song
	For Those Passionately in Love   for those passionately in love, the whole world seems to smile. David Myers
	Single Now They tell me I am single now I have to learn to accept it and go on I say "I was always part of a couple" but they say "You are single now-- Just accept it and go on with life." Easy to say. So hard to do. What a wide gulf stands between me and the young woman who used to be me when I was single. I will have to do some serious stretching To try to find that young woman, that time of being single. Even so, I don't know if I can ever find her. You see as part of a couple I have travelled far from my girlhood home and far from those early visions of my youth Crossing terrains I never would have imagined when I was single. But still they tell me You are single no longer a couple accept it and go on with life. It's really just as Simple as that. And I say that in life the easiest things are often the most difficult to do. (original words)   Single Now
	Narrow,Steep Bridge (Upright Flower)   These days I walk on a narrow bridge between the known past and the unknown future, with no guide or dear companion to hold my hand. The sleekness and lustre of youth are gone The appetite for adventure has vanished Alone on this bridge now, without the resilience of my youth to fall back on, my steps are both slow and uncertain. Sometimes the narrow bridge seems to sway, so I observe myself carefully as I go on; I don't want to slip and fall. I walk alone, each foot placed as best as I can, each step taking me farther and farther from my past, leaving it on the other side, behind me. I cannot see what is at the other end of the bridge: there seems to be a heavy fog where the future lays My eyes cannot pierce it; My heart cannot fathom it. But as I come nearer with each step, Perhaps, just perhaps, the sun will break through burning the fog away, revealing to me, in the distance, a green landscape, one of hope and promise: a sight that I cannot see now from where I stand.

	In this great silence What of importance remains? the lingering sensation of my hand touching yours the reassuring sound of your voive the smile that would light up your face your eyes meeting mine and between us, intangible, a whole world of unspoken words. (original words)   In This Great Silence
	Your Strong Arms   Your strong arms surrounded me- within them I am in a safer place a place of comfort a place of confidence the strength within you radiates through me infuses me too, with strength my head rests on your chest I listen to your heartbeat absorbing the perfect peace of the moment. You are my love the love who is really with me for me in this time in this place in this world. (original words)
	Last Dance I was waiting for that dance with you My love I was waiting for so many months In truth I waited for years My favorite and only partner That slow dance when you held me in your arms when the music filled us with its song and each minute seemed to be an hour You wanted to wait until you could become fluent with the steps of the dance I only wanted you to be with me, one with the other, wrapped in each other's arms and wrapped in the music Somehow we never made time for the dance There were things that needed to be done People who needed to be helped Projects to do Tasks to finish up And in the end, life turned on itself and left us without the time for the dance. In my daydreams, I still yearn for that dance That wonderful dance with you, My love, Wrapped in each other's arms when the music filled our very souls and each minute seemed an hour That dance that, I know now, was never to be.   Last Dance
	My Heart Searched for Your Heart   My heart searched for your heart until you found it and made it your own. (original words)
	Mirror of Love You are truly a wonder of the world A man who sees his woman Looking more attractive with the passing of the years, and tells her so. You are the mirror of my choice: A man who discounts the markings of time and sees only with the eyes of love. (Original words)   Mirror Of Love
