This New Love

This new love
came in the dawn
This new love
is completely turned on
This time when we laughed
our souls felt the shake
This time when we kissed
it took away all heartache

This new love
is greater than the old
This new love
has really taken hold
We drove down the highway
just to get away
Second chances feel good
I wish we could've stayed

Alone on the road
just your hand in mine
Your smile, your song
your fears left behind
This is how it can be
from now until end
We stumbled into this
let our new life begin

I want to be with you
no miles to separate
I want to be there
when they realize your fate
We each walk our path
yes, this I understand
But life is so much better
holding your hand.

This new love
is my most precious gift
God has blessed me
with an attitude shift
Before when we loved
I loved you so much
But this time I feel
more than an ache for your touch
I cannot imagine the thought
of you going away
For an month, a week,
an hour or a day

So much of my soul
is devoured by yours
I will surely cease to be
there will be no cure
If you go away
I cannot smile again
Please say you'll stay with me
forever, til the end.

I love you today,
forever, oh so true
This new love
is special, for me and for you
It cannot be explained,
measured, or replaced
I just hope it is returned,
with you is my place.

Loss of him

From the depths of my soul Come hunger for more love And thirst for more healing. For so long I have ached From a loneliness wound Though loving friends And abundant family surround. In the light of day In the black of night I work on dealing. For so long this wound Held prisoner my focus Though the ache not acute Nothing else could be found. Feared alone in my pain Life seemed to be my sentence For crimes I'd forgotten or never done. This drink of depression Though not my own vice Was the weapon Rage used to bring innocense down. As I've grown quite aware, A tension leaves the air When I realize I'm not alone anymore. For the wrath was brought down Making no waves for himself Because help made no sound. So I gather my memories up for now. As loss takes it's toll Away all the years go When I vow to keep only the good. These memories somehow Seem to hold more value now Than they did when they were new This great pretender leaves without a bow. I may have his blood And h

Moving in the right direction ~>

Progress is being made. Can you feel it? Slowly, but surely this world is changing. One person, one state, or one country at a time... I see how possible it is for this world to know peace. Today, I am especially ecstatic about the goings on in the state of California. Though I live in Kentucky, and this new allowance does not directly effect me, it does greatly affect me. I am speaking of the occurrences regarding the official first day of legalized same-sex marriages that took place yesterday (Tues. June 17,2008) in California. For thousands of couples in that state, it was a time to finally have that moment they had dreamed of for years. It sounds very simple a thing to have- marriage. However, for many people in many places it is still but a distant dream. Picture it: Gathering your family and friends together in one place at a special time Announce your love to the world and solidify your commitment to your partner Become husbands or wives in the eyes of God, the government, and

Wow... Ok, so it's been a month of Sundays, at least, since I last blogged. Sorry. Life has taken me by the tail lately and it's been a struggle to accomplish the "must do" list, much less the "want to" list. So, here I am again. I'm not making any promises that this will be consistent, by any means. But when things strike me as appropriate to write about in a public blog, I will. Ok. To catch you all up: School: Clinical Psych Grad Program... itense, challenging, hopefully as rewarding as I imagined, overwhelming at times, but I'm feeling like it might actually be possibly. If the end of the semester would just hurry up and get here!....aaahhhhh! Work: Looking for something more up my alley, but hanging in there with the international education department. Hoping for a position within the psych/counseling field next year. No practicum this summer, so have to find a back-up idea. Family/Friends: Things shifting, but in a p
