For Monique.

Poems DEDICATED to one of my Best Friends.

A postitive light
that's all I ask

A positive word
that's all I ask

A light in the dark
can you save me?

Will you save my soul?
I can't save my soul

For my soul is gone,
gone with my hopes

My hopes-long gone
long gone with my dreams

Shadows have taken over,
pulling in clouds of rain

So I say rain,
Rain comes and goes

You can come
You can go

But I am long gone
gone-never to be seen


Poem #2.

They say shoot for the stars
And land on the moon

Say love someone
And get broken

Understand why fall,
Fall oh so tragically in love
We fall, fall in love

Held up so high
Held up on a thread
So high on such a breakable thread

Climb it
You're bound to fall

Resist it
You're bound to love

We fall for traps
The traps set for lovers

Those who can afford to love
Will love all when they can

Those like you and me
We fall and get broken
Broken oh so tragically

The traps set for lovers
The traps they set for people like you and me

And in the end
We all fall

In the end
We all break
