Your love is like a song to me
That doesn't have an end.
Your smile is a melody
That rests upon your chin.
Your mind is like fresh air to me
Without it, I would die.
Your mouth is like a remedy
To hold me through the night.
Your hands are like an ocean wave
Cooling at the touch.
Your eyes are like a memory
That inspires me so much.
Your soothing arms
Will try comfort me throughout the cold, long day.
But your heart is like a babbling brook
That could never lose its way.
In the Midst of Confusion
©2000 Lesley
In the midst of confusion,
A lonely heart lies.
The abrasive need to attach
Its strings to another
Washes away all desire.
A wayward connection
Deprives love of its true capabilities.
Two hearts
Tangled in a state of depression
With only a solitary chain of hope
To grab onto and escape.
And still, the soul wanders until it finds
Another lonely heart,
In the midst of confusion.

A Dream, Unbroken
©2000 Lesley
A dream, unbroken,
Stands still over a roaring sea.
Its calming tones and images.
Surpass calamity.
Its whimsical tune carries on over all the land
For even in the darkest hour,
A dream, unbroken, stands.
A dream, unbroken,
Can grow old, but its remedy stays new.
It soars above all imagination
Into a riveting mirage of blue.
The power of a flying wish can send it to the sun,
But even at the end of it all there's
A dream, unbroken, begun.
A dream, unbroken,
Continues holding strong even on earth.
It's assuring wisdom resides in humans,
Allowing them beauty and mirth.
When you find a wish, give it all you can give.
For even when the world is dying,
A dream, unbroken, lives.
First Love

You are like a breath of fresh air;
And uplifting song to my soul.
Being around you isn't hard
But being afraid to lose you is.
As the seasons roll around
The light grows dimmer.
I know that by autumn
You will barely even know me.
Know who I am
Know how I feel
Know that I care.
When I first discovered my heart's devotion
It wasn't an easy thing to know.
Life without you wouldn't be easy
Although life with you is hard enough.
Sometimes at night I wonder
Why everything even matters?
Why bother?
But then I remember you.
Your smile.
Your love
And your mind.
You are the solitary thing that keeps me going.
And even in the end, if it's not you
That's okay.
Because you showed me how to care and trust someone.
I know that now I love you,
Tomorrow I may love you,
But I will always know you were the first one.
The first one that I ever loved.
