One Chance

Standing in the distance

Watching you make the wrong choice

Knowing I can’t say anything

Fighting my silent voice

 

Unable to squash

This burning inferno of fire

Trying to stand out

For it is you that I always admire

 

To be given a chance

To open your protected heart

To discover our passion

For our relationship to start

 

Not wanting too much

Just to be given a chance

To treat you right

And have one final dance

 

You won’t know it

But these words are for you

A hidden message

A relationship is due

A Stranger’s Love

I didn’t know which way to turn

Someone’s advice I did yearn

Making the right decision is hard to do

A decision that affects more than a few

 

A message on a computer screen

Usually missed but this one seen

Touched me somewhere deep inside

My decision no longer has to hide

 

A message sent and a reply received

Someone cared who’d have believed

Some how knowing what I need to hear

Putting me at ease releasing the fear

 

The strength inside to finally move on

Knowing my shyness has finally gone

All this because of a stranger’s love

A stranger sent from someone above?

A Helping Hand

How can I help if I don’t what’s wrong

You’ve bottled this inside for far too long

What ever I do, what ever I say

Can’t do right but hate seeing you this way

 

I’ll keep my distance until you are ready

Your mind and heart really need to be steady

Don’t like to see you in this downward state

Keep believing in the thing we all call fate

 

You cried on my shoulder just the other day

Your emotions expressed more that I could say

I put my arms around you and hugged you tight

Together we will have the strength to fight

 

I’ll continue to give you more than you need

Our friendship more than doing a good deed

If you need to talk anywhere across this land

I’ll simple extend my forever helping hand

Believe in the future

At times the world seems dark

And a scary place to be

Keep searching beyond the now

Eventually the light you’ll see

 

Your emotions uncontrollable

You want to scream and shout

Wipe away the frustrated tears

Let the tears become a drought

 

You seem to be fighting the world

Nothing is going right

One more dose of bad luck

You feel like disowning the fight

 

But things steadily pick up

Your friends close by your side

Suddenly you walk tall

Taking everything in your stride

 

An unexpected meeting with a stranger

Who offers you a chance

To be part of something special

Now you can have the very last dance

 

Remember when you’re down

The lowest point to be

Believe in what the future holds

As believing is for free

I'm here waiting

Afraid to lead

Fear rejection all along

Tried to read the signs

And got them always wrong

 

Lying here alone

Thinking of you day and night

Thinking of the question

Hoping the answer will be right

 

Fame or fortune

But that doesn’t mean a thing

When will you realise

I want you to wear my ring

 

Not making sense

The hidden messages inside

The unspoken lines

Let love be our guide

 

A choice you have

The chemistry elating

Take your time

I’ll always be waiting

A Thousand Stars

You shine so bright

In the midnight sky

The light in my heart

You make the time fly by

 

My darkest days

There seems no end

I always thank you

For the light you send

 

More than your smile

More than your eyes

You have a warmth

That lights up the skies

 

When I glance above

You are always there

Shinning so bright

In the midnight air

 

Others in your shadow

They just don’t compare

A thousand stars alight

But only you I see up there
