My very soul would die

My very soul would die

~Tears would fill my eyes

if you would go away~

~My very soul would die

a thousand times a day~

~Life would pass me by

within the sands of time~

~Like clouds so pace the sky

passing through my mind~

~Loneliness would fill the void

that happiness once held~

~My very heart destroyed

sent to Satan’s Hell~

~You are my reason why

I wake to each the day~

~The bright and shining light

that guides my every way~

~The fire’s raging burn

within my mortal soul~

~My one and only yearn

the better half of whole~

~My each and every thought

is filled with all you do~

~My heart entwined in knots

imbued with loving you~

~So never never go away

tears would fill my eyes~

~Fill my heart with love each day

I love you with my life~

An Angel's Tears

~An Angel's tears

within the rain~

~Her heart in fear

for those in pain~

~Wings spread wide

to cover those~

~Calming cries

within their Souls~

~She walks with them

in shadows hide~

~An Angel’s hymn

she does recite~

~Guide me Lord

to keep them safe~

~By your accord

their every wake~

~No mountain high

nor valley low~

~Shall keep my flight

from calming Souls~

~She spreads her wings

in calming peace~

~Amen she sings

with Heaven’s glee~

For My Friend

~Of that the heart a fire burns

for she who falls in love~

~Be that so great in of her yearn

her thought be not thereof~

~Her love for he be not returned

nor does he even care~

~So does she love so is she spurned

her heart be stripped to bare~

~He she loved her heart he broke

the man be worthy not~

~In that of sorrow be gone her hope

for that the man she sought~

~Be that she guard her heart of lust

from love that cannot be~

~Control the flame sometimes unjust

be not her destiny~

~Be that of now so full of tears

for that the man she yearned~

~In of her heart be smolder sears

where once the fire burned~

~Take heed in that be careful of

the fire in your lust~

~Sometimes the flame of burning love

be bound in that combust~

~One day her love shall come to pass

be that of heart in true~

~Her love will burn in everlast

in that be of anew~

~Be she I speak be of my friend

within my heart she be~

~I pray for her that in the end

her heart again will glee~
