Loving Stares

listen to ‘Loving Stares’ on Audioboo

You don’t get it

you can’t understand

and yet for my sake

you always say that you can,

         you say you do

but I know that's for me

And for this

         I’ll always pray

that you'll never see

        

Loving stares

         can reveal so much more

than a thousand words

         anesthetically poured

Loving stares

        can reveal so much more

than a thousand words

       anesthetically poured 

I’ve never cared 

no not before

It’s a shame

     but it's a pity more,

 what is, is

         in the past, it’s a-gone

and it ain't coming back                  

times change and so do we

   always wrestling with the troubles

of trying to get free

and we often say those things

      that we don't mean

hoping, praying, it was only a dream

                 And I feel blessed

to have had you there

                 I feel blessed

to have someone that cares

and for this 

I can never repay

I can only promise to 

be yours everyday

     forever yours, 

forever near

   with only love 

          and never the fear

Posted for Open Link Monday at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.  Check em' out and get your fill of some wonderful poetry.  

As for this piece, well it started off as a poem, then turned into a song.  If anyone out there has a good voice and would like to sing it, I'd love to hear it.
