You kissed me but your lips were cold

You kissed me but your lips were cold
You held me but not in your heart
You touched me but not with your love
You said you loved me but I could
See the lie clearly in your eyes

Did you love me when you could not
Look in my eyes and lied because
The truth was hard, too hard to tell
Did you love me when you acted
As if you were the love you knew
I had longed for with my whole being

You stroked my hair even while your mind
Wandered to other things you’d rather do
You shared your dreams but not with me
You spoke your mind but not to me
You loved someone but it wasn’t me

You could not love me as I am
You kissed me but your lips were cold
You said you loved me but I could
See the lie clearly in your eyes

This is Me

This is me, this is who i am
I am the girl who is in love with beauty
The one who gets lost in the lyrics of a song
Or in the words of a play
I am the girl who smiles whenever she sees a full moon
I am the girl who closes her eyes when she dances
And in her head sees the world the way she’d like it to be
Beautiful, exotic and full of laughter
I am the girl who falls in love with the simple things about you
The quirks in your character
The way you frown when you concentrate
The inflection in your voice when you start to say something
You think may be funny but you’re not quite sure
I am the girl who loves the oddities
The things others find ridiculous
I am the girl nobody understands
The girl who doesn’t understand herself
I am the girl who wants to fly over mountains
To swim in the deepest parts of the sea
To explore the many dimensions of life
To be a queen, a goddess
To go everywhere and see everything
I am the girl who still wonders who I am
And has no idea what I want to be.

My Strength

This is a song. At first I wanted to write a poem based on leaves...but this song just came out.

It's just a leaf
grown old
and tired on the tree
Its just a leaf
gone brown
and too weak to keep
holding on
so why oh why
does it
remind me of me

How can I find the strength
to keep holding on
when I'm tired of the pain
the sadness and the tears
where do I find the will
to keep my head held high
I'll look to you, my Lord

You are my strength
you are my strength
you are my strength
you are my strength
Oh Lord you are my strength

Sometimes I feel
so weak
reluctant to go on
Sometime life feels
so cold
it's like  no one cares
about me
and then just then
you show me
how much I mean to you

In you I find the strength
to keep holding on
when I'm tired of the pain
the sadness and the tears
In you I find the will
to keep my head held high
I'll look to you, my Lord

You are my strength
you are my strength
you are my strength
you are my strength

Oh Lord you are my strength

I am Beautiful and I Know

You can't break my stride

you can't bring me down

you can't make me cry

because I'm beautiful and I know

you cant tear me down

you cant take my smile

you cant break my heart

because I'm beautiful and I know

so when you try

to make it all about you

and try prove to me

that the world is

more yours than mine

that's when I'll show you

that

you cant break my spine

you cant stop my flow

you cant count me out

because I'm beautiful and I know

you cant take me back

you cant send me out

you cant stop my shine

because I'm beautiful and I know

I'll always know.

Life Interrupts

I want to find you in the day and in the night
I want to find you in the sun and in the rain
I want to find you in the sky and in the clouds
But life keeps on interrupting me.

I want to find you in my neighbour’s eyes
I want to find you in the children’s laugh
I want to find you in the music of my heart
But life keeps on interrupting me.

I want to find you in song and in dance
I want to find you in the stillness of the night
I want to find you in the loves that I have loved
But life keeps on interrupting me.

I want to find you in the lights that change the night
I want to find you in the inside of my heart
I want to find you in the comfort of your words
But life keeps on interrupting me.

I want to find you in the words I read and the songs I hear
I want to find you in the comforting words that fill my ear
I want to find you in the things my hands have made
But life keeps on interrupting me.

I want to find you in noisy days and in quiet times
I want to find you in happy days and in sad times
I want to find you every day and every night
But life keeps on interrupting me

I want to find you in your image and your likeness
I want to find you in calm water and angry waves
I want to find you in love and laughter in tears and joy
But life keeps on interrupting me.

And try as I might
I cant seem to find
The time to praise you
The time to dance
As David Danced.
