AT THE TIME

At the time, is love warm,
Is it will,
It is April-yes, love is warm.

At the time, is child love,
Is it heart,
It is March-yes, a childs love.

At the time, is sadness blue,
Is it tears,
It is here-yes, sad and blue.

At the time, am I sad,
Is it to stay,
It is May-yes, sadness is here.

At the time, am I sad,
Is it soon,
It is June-yes, very sad...............

WIDOW

I listen to the silence, of this room.
My heart unsettled, filled with gloom.
Cry weeping widow, for no one hears.
Loud sad widow, cry your tears..............published

DADDYS GIRL

What would she do if daddy were here.
What would she whispher, in his ear.
The little games, daddys girl could play,
But she is now alone, for he has gone away.

How do I tell her stories, how daddy loved his girl.
Tell her how he kissed her and twisted up her curl.
Say how he did love her, as precious as she is.
How I do try to tell her, With hidden tears her I kiss.............published

YOU WERE

My heart aches for someone,
Someone never to be.
My heart seeks for him,
Someone I'll never see.
My heart yearns for someone,
Someone I'll never touch.
My heart longs for him,
Someone I loved very much...............published

FREE

Watch the weeping willow sway,
On this warm and perfect day.
The limbs are so, gently aray,
In a breeze, so free, so gay............

NEVER

Oh thy burning, hatefull tongue.
Thy comest, yet no love begun.
The way thou doest hurt me so,
Never shall thee I love,
thus I know............................

BURNED

Shall thy flaming heart,
Burn and char another..
To ashes fall loves part,
This flame, thy tears, shall smother.................

MOTHER IN SLANDER

The spiteful tongue,
The lies begun.
Oh how they hurt,
Beneath the sun.

Come and weep,
They hurt deep.
Oh crying one,
Don't tell your son...................

THY JOURNEY

Tire oh, this stabbing pain.
Away go I in vapid vain.
Soon tis over, insipid life.
Thus for I wait, body in strife...............

COME

My heart doth weep,
My soul yearns deep,
Oh my love, do come,
Or my life, be done...............

FOOL

I laugh to hear him say love,
Should he ever learn my dove,
He knows not how we cared,
Never will my love, he share....................

ITS SPRING!

Birds and trees, flowers and bees,
Thats what spring's about.
See the rain, listen to the crane,
Hear the children shout.

Children running, bicycles humming,
See the bright blue sky.
Watching the blossoms, all a-bloom,
Take away passed winters gloom...........

DOES HE

When he cares for me, will my love, he see.
When he thinks of me, will my hand , he see.
When he looks at me, will my heart, he see.

When he yearns for me, will my wants, he see.
When he asks for me, will my concern, he see.
When he is in love, will it be me...........

TELL MY LOVE

Dear Lord to you I pray each day,
That to my love you will someday say.
A message to me has brought my dove,
To tell of the pain in the heart of your love..........

THUS I YEARN

Oh weeping soul, cry for peace,
So yearning for thy long rest.
Oh gentle sleep,upon white fleece,
Quiet to die, thus be best..................

SOWED A WRONG

Oh beautiful star
See me lonely.
See how I weep.
Hear me cry, tis
For the wrongs done.
Hear my deafening sigh................

FEAR

I fear him for I know
I shall love him.
I fear him for I know
My heart he doth melt............

MY BROTHER'S

My brothers treat me kind.
My brothers talk gentle.
My brothers listen to me.
They make my heart feel warm.........
