Your love shines bright like the stars in the night.
This joy let's me know that your love is divine.
Without it a hole burns in this soul of mine.
A hole so thin and so very fine,
It can only be filled with one simple line
A line so pure, so honest and true.
Just three little words…. I… Love… You

I look into your eyes.. and I see so very much pain.
A past that's filled with hurt, with nothing more to gain.
You yearn for something to hold, something that won't let you fall
You search and try to find it, but you grab nothing at all.

I've tried and tried to reach you.. I'm holding out my hand,
Waiting for you to grab it... while trying my best to stand.
I've stumbled many times, and pulled others down with me,
but I kept on going and trying, to help the others see.

My intentions are to please others with nothing left for me
but to see their happy faces and receive their generosity.
I'll never give up trying, I'll stand up 'till the end,
But who will stand up with me? On who can I depend?

Why, as fate should have it, should you have come to me?
A smile comes to my face.. as I look on at your beauty.
A sweet aroma fills the air.. as I see you coming near,
For when you grace me with your presence there is no room for fear.

I cherish every moment that I get to spend with you.
For each moment that I spend with you is a dream come true.
A sweet, sweet joy fills my life.. and blocks my past disgrace,
For all the mistakes that I have made fade when I see your face!

I walk a path that is very bright...
Your love in my life is my only light!
Without it I'm blind! I cannot see,
The path laid before me.. my destiny!

When I open my eyes, I only see you.
And I walk your way for I know it's true.
I have not tripped or stumbled or fallen,
Cause I run your way when I hear you calling.

You are my light, my guide, my way!
You are the sunshine in my every day.
When I'm with you, there is only joy.
I'm carefree again.. like a little boy!

What is this thing that keeps me going?
I ponder the answer without knowing.
Each turn that I take is my own decision,
As I carefully take each step with precision.

I will not be controlled by this thing called fate.
I will go through life like on some blind date.
I will live my life; I will not be controlled!
I will take life by chance, like dice that are rolled.

When love comes along I will hold on tight!
I will not give it up without a fight.
Any pain that will come I'll gladly endure.
For what's pain compared to a love that is pure?

Pain is a thing that will come and will go.
How long will it last? I will never know.
Is there a cure for this pain inside?
It's grown so much that I cannot hide.

When pain comes along, it brings with it fear,
Which swells in my head so that I cannot hear.
So I guard my heart and let noone in.
I don't want to feel all that pain again.

Now I've given up control and given into fate.
And instead of pain it's my life that I hate.
My friends keep on telling me I shouldn't give up!
That I'm totally innocent like a newborn pup.

But I must have done something to deserve all this hurt.
I ache so bad for I need some comfort.
I'm looking for something that I know I missed.
For I felt it inside when I was last kissed.

The kiss lived in a dream but even still,
A warmth filled inside me and vanquished my chill.
I recognized this warmth, for I'd felt it before,
It had led to the pain that I had to endure.

How could this and the last love compare?
Oh, but it feels so good so I just don't care.
I'm opening up and I'm vulnerable again.
And that starts to scare me so I back off again.

What must I do to get rid of my past?
How can I know that this love will last?
I won't fall to fate, for this love is pure!
I'll take back my life! I'll be controlled no more!

I'm being tugged in all directions,
As people see all my imperfections.
My clothes are ripped, tattered and torn.
From all the attacks, my barrier's been worn.

How is it, then, that I do not fall?
Why do I bother to continue at all?
There must be something that fuels my will.
It's keeping me going like a stimulant pill.

This something I feel deep inside,
It silences the pain and warms my pride.
Visible only in my dreams at night.
So comforting and sweet; oh what a sight.

It's a gift from God that He gave to you.
You shared it with me and I felt it, too.
So we stand side by side and look on ahead.
We see this path and we start to dread.

What is it lying beyond the mountain?
I envision a stream and a living fountain.
They rejuvenate our spirits and hearts as well.
Beyond that light, I cannot tell.

Passing the mountain must come first.
There are springs on the way to quench your thirst.
It's a tedious path, but we'll make it through.
With God by our side I know we'll make do.

Helping one another along the way,
Making sure neither of us are led astray,
I know on you I can depend,
And we'll both reap the rewards in the end!

Climbing the mountain was really tough,
Yet even that was not enough.
For going down can be just as hard,
It's against our mind that we must guard.

Tripping on rocks and falling down,
I pick myself up off the ground.
Though I'm scratched up on the way,
I'm trying not to be led astray.

My wounds do not have time to heal,
I trudge forward and try not to feel.
The pain inside needs a way out.
I want to stop and let out a shout.

Running faster the bottom draws near,
Yet I'm pulled back by my own fear.
An illusion which has no comprehension.
Yet, it only causes more dissention.

What can I do to let it go?
I try so hard not to let it show.
You and I know the thoughts aren't true.
All I need is some support from you.

You lift me up as we travel along.
Together we sing this joyous song.
Arm in arm we're almost there.
Because we relied on each other's care.

Waiting is hard when we do it alone.
Together leaves nothing left to condone.
No matter the problem, I'll always see,
It'll be alright as long as you're beside me.

I'll be right there beside you too.
Lifting you up when you are blue.
I will try my best to never fail.
Where others have fallen...I will prevail!

I see a spring through all the confusion,
Hoping so strongly that it's not an illusion.
For I could use the restoration of will,
And all of my sorrows and pain it would kill.

The burning's assuaged and put to rest,
As time after time I pass each test.
You have still been beside me each step of the way,
Even when you couldn't find the words to say.

Continuing on this long bumpy trail,
We cannot stop now...we cannot fail.
The fog in the distance is starting to clear,
And we're beginning to see there's nothing to fear.

When you are down, then I am blue.
When you are sick, I feel it too.
When you are happy, it lights my day.
So tell me why I am this way.

Different faces at different times.
Sometimes you act just like a mime.
You hold back the words yet do the motion.
Soothing your wounds with a healing lotion.

You do that when you're feeling pain.
When sunshine's been hidden by all the rain.
I've seen many different sides of you.
Sometimes I wonder which one is true.

None of them bad, just contradictions.
Yet you start to give yourself convictions.
You're the best thing that's happened to me,
But it'll take more work to set you free.

What can I do to help lift you up?
Happy and playful as a new-born pup...
Trying my best to help you out,
And get rid of all forms of doubt.

This eclipse of happiness darkens your mind.
And your stuck in a rut with no words to find.
Just try to keep smiling, and I will too.
And together we'll make it, we'll make it...me and you.

A hidden thought lurks inside,
Yet it's covered up and denied.
Suppressing doubts and holding back fears
But retracting the feelings can push out tears.

Building up till it's overfilled,
Tattered and torn it's bumped and spilled.
Trying to decipher the specific cause,
Wanting to slow down and take a pause.

Bits and pieces of dissention concealed.
Shying away it's being revealed.
Expressions can show more then actions do,
And open the door to the "real you."

A benevolent nature with a misjudged thought,
Can make the greatest of people distraught.
Ignore all appearance and seek what's inside.
And find they're one in whom you confide.

This one.. I named "Starkiss".. the only one that I've named..
"The sun sets over the sea,
A new gentle glow fills the night.
A streak of light shoots across the sky
Leaving behind it a reminiscent trail
A drop of star falls from the heavens,
And caresses me all around,
As I fall back into that dreamy state,
I'm pulled into this warmth of sweet love,
And I'm lifted up and held tight.
Time has no importance here.
A moment...frozen by glistening atmosphere,
Filling my eyes with a dancing light.
A seclusion to my own utopian world,
Shared with a bright angel from above.
I descend back down to the world.
And before I return to reality...
Before I leave this dream within a dream...
Before I become vulnerable again,
The beautiful bright angel enlightens me.
She embraces me and warms my soul.
Then, she embeds this forever moment into my heart...
With a Starkiss!"
