Love Lies
you called me
your destiny
knowing full well
you weren't free
and never would
break the ties
that binde you
to your head-strong
wife and mother
of your children
you chased after me
everywhere i went
you were there
speaking tender love lies
wanting me to believe
i was your favored one
when it was your wife
whom always came first
now, standing alone
so many years after
the day my heart
fell at your feet
i no longer grieve
over the fact
i was nothing more
to you than
a psychological trophy
sad but wiser now
i accept my destiny

Love Light
if you took
the sun and the moon
and all of the stars
put them in a room
their light could
not compare to
the brightest of light
in my delight
as i gaze into
the shimmering eyes
of the love
of my life
yes, my baby's love
is almighty bright

Love Me
do you love me
if you do
please tell me so
that is all
i ever wanted
i really want to know
it seems like
we get closer
with each passing day
i love you, darling
in a very special way
each night i pray
you will never go away
so darling
do you love me
do you want me
the same way i want you
it would make
my heart feel glad
to know you loved me too

Made For Lovers
it was spring and not
summer that was made
for lovers and the roses
were designed in such a way
they say i love you without words
like the rose lovers don't need
words either but they do
love the roses
is it for their beauty
or their precious scent
the delicate petals
like velvet and the thorns
that pierce your finger
like a faithless lover
that wounds the innocent
ones caring heart
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
