A Place, A Time, This Moment

The blue green waters,
The cool breeze,
The deep blue sky,
The sounds of water splashing on the rocks,
The smell of the salty sea air,
A place for you and me,

The steady sounds of your breathing,

As I lean back against your warm hard chest,

Having your strong arms protect me, comfort me,

Making me feel secure,

A time for you and me,

The loving moments where time stands still,

Wishing it would last forever,

But forever is impossible,

For time is continuously moving,

Life constantly changing,

If it were possible, any way at all,

I would spend my life in your arms,

At this moment in time,

For the rest of my life,

Just you and me.

Waiting For The Day

Today another friend has passed,
His pain and suffering has ended,
Yet, I’m still here, waiting, wondering,
when is it to be my turn,

The waiting stays on my mind,

The wondering, will I suffer,

I don’t know, I don’t want to die,

But, every time I turn I see

Someone that could be me,

Yet, I’m still here, happy, but afraid,

Sometimes I think I’m going crazy,

Waiting, fighting, surviving,

Many people have gone, some of them friends,

And I remember each and every one of them,

But, will my day come, will it be quick or slow,

This nobody knows,

And with each passing day,

I know there is a chance,

That my day will, never come,

And I’ll live until I’m old and gray,

One day we will all be saved, one day soon.
