From The Dawn Of Daylight

~From the Dawn of daylight

to the very fall of night~

~My heart hungers but in pain

my soul burns my mind insane~

~Like a Majesty she reigns over me

ruling my every emotion as her's to be~

~She’s the essence of what is love

gifted with the beauty of Angels above~

~Soft spoken and shy she won my heart

it’s her’s for as long as I live ‘til death do I part~

~Many years past many nights I’ve pondered

why I left her arms so I could wander~

~Happiness left as did my very soul

when I left  so many years ago~

~I was young but I loved her and didn’t stay

a cowardly decision that’s haunted me to this day~

~I’ve yearned for her touch once again

to hold her kiss her like I did back then~

~To once again hear her say silly boy you’re my bay

a special name she gave me on our meeting day~

~She’s like no other woman on earth can be

I would do anything to bring her back to me~

~God my God help me I pray to you

guide me in all that I must do~

~Show me the way back into her heart

bond us together again never to part~

From Across The Sea Came A Voice

~My heart has but one love

my darling it’s you I speak of~

~Too many years have gone by

many a night alone I’ve silently cried~

~My soul lost deep in the past

of the time we spent together last~

~I love you please understand

without you I am but half a man~

~Now that you and I again could be

brings happiness once had back to me~

~Something I haven’t had in years

the reason for my silent tears~

~You’re all I want my heart and soul

I need you back in my life this I know~

~To stand with me in all that I do

and I to stand with only you~

~You’re on my mind night and day

within my heart you’ve always stayed~

~You mean to me as the world turns

the desire for you inside me burns~

~My darling it burns so hot I cannot bare

at night it’s your image at I do stare~

~You’re as beautiful today as you were then

to you God his hand of grace he has lent~

~I miss you my darling I miss you with all my heart

I can no longer bare this existence of being apart~

~I dreamt of us together once again and awoke

when you weren’t there my heart was broke~

~I made a mistake when I left long ago

and it’s caused me many a year of woe~ 

~The last we met you gifted me with a kiss

like honey were the juices that wet your lips~

~I remember with ease our last night together

a memory of I’ll keep in my heart forever~

~I love you and would do anything for your love

I’ve prayed for it often to my God above~

~Finally I heard you call my name bay

this was a special name only you would say~

~The girl I loved but didn’t have the courage to tell

for this my life has been not but Hell~

~I cannot love another I’ve tried without success

causing me much stress and under duress~

~I’ve been alone now the last seven years

almost given up to die alone I’ve feared~

~But came that beautiful voice from across the sea

a second chance I thought could it be~

~You’re all I’ve ever wanted in life I need you so

let’s take that chance and make a go~

~Let’s make the memories of our past

a reality to be in present at last~

~My dream you are and have always been

with that please accept these kisses I send~

~I love you~

I'm Lonely For Her

~Another lonely night has passed me by

bringing sadness and tears to my eyes~

~I’m in need of the one girl from my past

so many years gone since I’ve seen her last~ 

~My loneliness my pain has taken it’s toll

so foolish I was to leave her I know~

~My heart has been broken so many years

happiness nonexistent causing many tears~

~I’ve been but half a man without her in my life

so much anguish pain and strife~

~She was everything I ever wanted and I left

my ignorance gifted my heart and soul with bereft~

~A chance to correct the past to right a wrong

oh how I’ve waited and suffered for so long~

~My life lost it’s purpose when I left long ago

but has returned to me and I cannot let go~

~She is the one my soul mate the love of my life

without her’s like being stuck in my heart with a knife~

~My heart hurts can only be healed with her love 

she’s all on my mind I can think of~

~I’d do anything for her I’d give her the world

to have her back in my life to be my girl~

~When I reminisce I often do of long ago

I think of that sweet night back in San Francisco~

~It was the only time in my life I was really happy

she was so beautiful soft spoken and chose me~

~She was my Goddess my Athena from Olympus

to this day she is the only one I want to be with~

~I’ve tried but my heart has never seen it through

to turn back the hands of time anything I would do~

~To stay say I love you and make a life

God why did I never make her my wife~

~The price I paid is a terrible price to pay

I lost my heart my soul happiness in every way~

~I love her and I always will ‘til the day I die

more than the sun the moon and stars in the sky~

~As I lay down to sleep this night to be

I will pray to God please bring her back to me~

~Then I will visit her where she now resides

deep within my mind my dreams inside~

~I’ll take her in my arms and hold on tight

make sweet love to her throughout the night~

~Now I must go my ticket to Heaven awaits

I have myself a dream date~

A Mistake Regreted

I have reconnected with the love of my life. My Soul mate. I left this girl so very long ago in San Francisco Ca. over 40 years ago! She found me. I lost touch with her. I was stupid and very young. It was a mistake that cost me dearly! I have never been able to feel real love for a woman like I did and do for Lisa! My god, what did I do? But God brought her back to me. I always knew there was something that prevented me from being able to be in true love. It was because I never fell out of love with Lisa! If you are young, please never make the mistake I did! I’ve been unhappy for all these years. I’ve been married several times and I just couldn’t do it! I love every one of my children with all my heart and soul! But my happiness has never been there! I have often thought God was punishing me because of the war and the things I did in that war! But that is not the case, God is merciful and forgives all! My pain has been of my own making. If I had just been more upfront and had expressed my feelings to her, God how happy I could’ve been and to be with her, my true dream girl! I have written the past several poems for her! They are my true feelings and fact! Again I must express»»Don’t do as I did«« Be happy and love her now!

I am writing this because I consider you part of my family and I love my Blogspot, and tumblr family! Every one of you that read my material has helped me overcome much of my depression caused by PTSD! Every Like and comment I receive is God sent and I appreciate it more than anyone could ever know! THANK YOU all from the bottm of my heart and soul!

and we were playful and together did lay

never again have I ever felt that way~

~I was a fool this I know to be true

I was young  didn’t know what to do

but Lisa I really did love you~

~I’ve paid a terrible price for going away

I never told you but God I wanted to stay

I loved you then as I do this very day~

~But you found me for a reason must be

I was meant for you and you for me

and we are about to meet our destiny~

we’ll make it better than way back then

this time for keeps never will it end~

~Always Your Bay~

like no man on earth could ever do~

~So be it mine and be it yours

our hearts together forever more~

Maybe It's True What They Say About Destiny

~Finally I can see an end to my misery

the love of my life may come back to me~

~Just the thought of her back in my life

brings to me joy and happiness inside~

~Reminiscent of our times in the past

hoping to repeat them in ever last~

~The girl of my dreams the desire of my heart

never again to be apart~

~Maybe true what they say about destiny

she’ll find you no matter the place may be~

~I’ve been struck in the heart with Cupid’s arrow

like a hawk from the sky swooping down on a sparrow~

~She’s captured me and owns my soul

my only wish is to love her and love her so~

~I never lost what I had for this girl

she’s the only one for me in this world~

~What luck God bringing us back together

this time I’ll make it last forever~

~Lisa I’ve lost touch but never the love

now you’re all I can think of~

Fantasy's Definition

 

~Once upon a lifetime ago

lived a young man in San Francisco~

~He yearned for a certain girl

no more beautiful in all the world~

~She was his very dream come true

‘twas nothing for her he wouldn’t do~

~He lusted for to make her his

to be the one to own her kiss~

~His heart was fast and burned as fire

from deep within was so his desire~

~She took his love the first day

and possessed it in all and every way~ 

~A girl like her comes but once in life

the kind of girl that makes you alive~

~One who’ll say I love you

and mean every word so very true~

~Who’ll make you feel like a man

the way only a woman who cares can~

~When you’re feeling under the wearher

with a simple kiss she’d make you feel better~

~This girl was perfect and she sill is

and I still lust for another kiss~

~Sometimes I dream awake at her picture

of how she and I could’ve made a future~

~I sometimes fantasize of her and I

and it brings tears to my eyes~

~So much joy this girl she gave to me

she was and is the definition of Fantasy~

~I left her in the past and regretted it all my life 

this decision for me has been but strife~

~A girl so sweet beautiful and perfect in every way

I still have feelings for her to this very day~

Duke Sherman

I Desire You!

 

~Always for you I’ve got desire

my blood runs hot as if on fire~

~My heart races in locomotion

and brings to lust my every emotion~

~Shiver I do when thinking of you

I want to make love with you I do~

~I think of how your luscious lips

taste as honey so sweet your kiss~

~And how your body brings to me

from within delight so Heavenly~

~You’ve filled my heart with not but love

my thoughts are you and all I think of~

~A dream come true you entered my life

fulfilling my wish becoming my wife~

~You treat like a man should be

with love respect and dignity~

~You leave me breathless and in a daze

in all you do I am amazed~

~You are my day you are my night

of all my life you are the light~

~No man on earth’s more lucky than me

no man on earth can ever be~

~To have to hold and know you’re mine

with a heart a soul and beauty divine~

~I’m blessed you see to have you be

in my life the better half a part of me~
