Illusions

Illusions of Love

A body of dreams

A face like an angel

But not what it seems

A woman in trouble

Reaching for life

A man who is lonely

Would she make a good wife?

So he buys her problems

(And thee I do wed)

Now she cleans his house

And decorates his bed

Did he find what he searched for?

He thinks so and yet

Is the lonely man happy?

I don't think I'd bet

What is born out of need

And fulfilling desire

Does the hear an injustice

Just look past the fire

When just living's not easy

No help comes from above

Does she seek security

Or is this called love?

IN PROGRESS

Walking alone in a city of dreams

Thousands of faces with no smile it seems

Then suddenly it hits me: the world comes alive

I call out your name, I hear your reply

How is it I feel you? And what does it mean?

What part of us touches thru the distance between?

It feels like I've known you - always been there

The warmth of your smile, smell of fruit in your hair

How can I know you? Whom I've never seen?

Why does my heart race as your name hits my screen?

Have our spirits, our souls, somehow met before

Or because I'm so needy, that you walk thru my door

The answers, the reasons, I just cannot gleen

It feels like you are, and have always been

Part of me now - always heart body and soul

In trusting completely I now feel more whole

I can't see the future it flows like a stream

Each day as we give love it changes the scene

No more will I question I'll just send my love

And enjoy the time with my angel from above

Invite To a Friend

Come with me, walk this road

For two it is no task

And if perhaps a question forms

Pleas do not fear to ask

This world is full of joys for us

And sharing is the key

That opens up the doors of trust

So you can walk with me

And if we chance upon a turn

For one of us that's right

We'll always have the time we spent

Within each other's light

Then if the days turn dark and dour

Your troubles with no end

There'll always be a place for you

With someone you've called friend

Stair-Chaser; A Place Called Love

I'm looking at a stairway

That suddenly appeared

It seems somehow familiar

Barely changing o'er the years

Could it lift my lonely heart

To heights as yet unknown

Or will it throw me to the ground

In darkness: all alone

How many times I've passed on by

A chance to shake this frown

With hurts and fears to painful yet

To risk a tumble down

I set my foot upon this lift

To me the choice is clear

The lonely days I leave behind

Are what I really fear

So with my trust & faith I'll climb

These stairs from up above

And entertain again the dream:

To find a place called love

G. Buck

Smile

I yearn to touch you with a moment of joy

And to know in my heart your smile I have earned

No greater gift could I ever bestow

Just to see you're heart lightened and my love is returned

For a small gift of sunshine reflected in your smile

Makes me want to keep giving this love that I've sent

And so long as I bring you that smile now and then

When I'm able to reach you with this I'm content

Such Sweet Sorrow

Girl, one day you touched me

And I'll never be the same

Though all this time has passed by

My heart's still in the game

Oh yes, I know I'm not the one

That you've been waiting for

But somehow I'm still hoping

You'll come knocking at my door

And deep inside I'm wondering

Just what you feel for me

How long will my heart ache?

When will my love be free?

I've told you that I love you

What more am I to do?

If ever you've a need for me

I'm forever here for you

G. Buck
