Joy Powell

The only one who loved you
who could have given you the world …
But you grew tired of waiting…
I told you I was not ready in the beginning
...

I must give up on life
And turn into a stone
The desert wind quite suited me
No heart, no mind-just bone
...

The first time I have ever loved:
Yours, the first face I cannot forget.
I think you are afraid, perhaps, and moved
To wonder whether you should do this yet.
...

in quiet days..
while raindrops whisper on your pane...
but in your memories have no regret....
let the joy remain
...

The sorrow still remains
I so long for love from thee
but chains won, t set me free
My heart is full of love for one
...

the pain was too much to bare
I got lost between the stars and somewhere
where thoughts were a maze
that I do no remember
...

left a smile on my face
regardless of our situation
I still glow within from
the love...
...

is a priceless gift
that cannot be bought or sold
its value is far greater
that a mountain made of gold
...

come walk with me among these halls
with your children weak or strong
I'll hold their hearts close to my own
until the time you call them home
...

Not even your own mother
Our love goes deep within our souls
That’s why we understand each other
No wind, nor rain or sleet nor snow
...

Was the hardest thing to do
for now I do not know what to do
I can, t turn back to see your face
or feel the warmth of your embrace
...

All paths of life you take
will combine to a place
a place that we call heaven.....
...

Will loneliness surpass
the ache of heart fond past
echoes laughter, cry my heart
defeated unknowingly from the start
...

has been shattered...by words..
bad words...
that should have never been spoken...
...

we blend in to this world
some with brighter halos
some with mixed up swirls
some with pale white shadows
...

Let go of you
I have thought and
it is plain …
I have tried to let
...

For the heartache to stop
the tears to dry …
My pain to ease…
you barely stopped to
...

something you do not
that love is very precious...
anger and bitterness can destroy it
like water to a flame …
...

I am stronger now
though something is missing
Could it be your scent
or perhaps your closeness?
...

has begun once more to the rhythm
of your smile, your touch
hearing your voice calms me
your promises give me hope
...
