That instance when you can take no more, when you've had all you can stand. Damn the blood that's on the floor it's that moment lines are drawn in sand. your knees are shaking, your breathing weak, pulse racin, you face the foe. Not one moment more, not one inch further. with shaking voice you whisper "no" The foe is strong, you can not hope to win, aye, but neither can you lose. to face him bloodied but unbowed, or to slink away in shadows, choose. each one who steps up to the foe, his power weakens costing him dear, for courage is not to be unafraid. It's stepping forward despite the fear.

The beat of your heart thunders, its rythm pulsing with every move. the dance of life surrounds you, but you have your own groove. They try to bend you, change you. fit you in their own mold. they try to ply you with world's riches try to buy your soul with gold. But the beat won't let you, won't give in to compromise, you know what's important, your spirit has it's own prize. Stiff, unbending, that's you way, your beliefs you will defend. give no quarter, don't give in Unyielding, unbowed till the very end.

To those stranded in the darkness I give you a point to lead you out, To those sinking in the bog I am the outstretched hand, To the friendless and alone I am the warm encompassing hug, To those who need a jumpstart, I am the loud marching band. I falter, flutter, encounter a rough wind, I can't back down can't let the darkness win My wick once more bursts into light, Ready to enter the fray, ready to fight But sometimes, I fall, I falter, my wick peters out, I fall to the gutter, It is at that moment when all hope seems lost, That the people around me shine the most. The candle is passed, it's flames burning brighter Casting out shadows,

Gone too soon like a twinkling of an eye back to that special place in the sky Gracing us with your presence even for a little while. I only wish we got to see you smile. My heart is heavy, scoured with pain, Tears fall like bitter rain. My miniscule joy has turned to grief Our meeting sweet yet very brief. Never in this life will i be able to hold your hand, No special dreams fulfilled, no years to plan, A moment to keep and then goodbye, as with evanescent wings you fly. Special child we shall meet again, No matter how, no matter when, I shall wait your return with baited breath that day you escape the embrace of death

I was there the day love died when the walls between them were built sky high when their memories of good times began to fade when no good deed or good will penetrated their blockade That day vitriol spewed from their lips. No secret smiles just hands on hips just pointing fingers and raised voices the chasm deepens with every bad choice Gone was the warmth of days long past the deed is done the die has been cast there's no turning back from this rubicon separate paths they will take from hereon. who changed, was it him, was it she? Who hid their true face till the other trusted fully? the broken hearts will soonest mend for now this story

I would have loved to feel your heartbeat as you lay sleeping. I'd have smiled as you yawned just moments after feeding. Gone is that bliss the day that i lost you. your cradle is empty, my heart is too. I would have watched you grow up and explore. would've seen your eyes light up with fun and ardor. ashes in my mouth, those dreams are instead nothing left but questions and tears yet unshed. I gaze at the sky at this now gloomy world. My limbs grow weak, my grief it unfolds. what need does heaven have for another angel? an unanswered plea, the pain inside me swells. I hug myself and cry with a voice gone hoarse someday soon the grief will

In this cruel world gone bleak where injustice reigns supreme a few bright sparks gather, band together in the shadows deep something gleams. grieving souls lost in their private hells fearful ones afraid of the black dog's bark. miriad hands grasp refusing to let go, small candle light that stand brave against the dark. broken hearts with sorrows they can not bear, secrets too dark, to reveal they wouldn't dare. listening ears and understanding hearts, no compensation, each one ready to do their part each word of comfort, each unsung good deed a family not of blood but a family indeed. each kindness paid forward betters the human race thi

I see the tears fall down your face It breaks me that you miss me so I want to hold you tight only to have you flow through my grasp I want to let you feel my warmth my flesh has grown too cold for your comfort I want to kiss your lips, taste your skin but I can't even hold you any more I can never rest while I'm away from you being apart from you hurts too much, I yearn for you with my unbeating heart. My love endures even beyond the grave I can only watch you from afar wishing you would move on without me wishing you would smile again, love again only then will I know peace

To the light in my sky I thank you for the warmth you bestowed upon me for the smile that brightens up my day for the things that make me feel complete To my other half I thank you for making this old world feel new for filling up this void within my soul for all this and more I thank you To my guiding light I thank you For lifting me from the shadows for banishing the nightmares that plague me all this and more you bestowed upon me, unworthy that I am For my happiness I thank you For the love you have given me I thank you These days I will forever treasure and keep as proof that someone thought the world of me
