Broken Wings

I know that unlike times before
We spend our days apart
But seeing that you've moved on
Simply tears away at my heart

The reasons why, I can't tell you
The true thoughts and feelings inside
Are still unclear to me 'cause
I always find somewhere to hide

If you only knew the flames of love
Could be rekindled if given the chance
We could go back to the good times
When it started out with just a quick glance

To tell you that it was all me
That it is because I'm so shy
Would make everything okay
Wouldn't have to walk by with just a sigh

Its hard to believe
That I let this slip away
But in my mind, I seek to find
A way to make you stay

So drift away
And take life as it comes
But know inside that without your love
It will change the person I will become

Together Forever

Lets be together
You and me
Take that boat ride
Across an everlasting sea

You make me laugh everyday
Giving me a smile
That no one else can display

I don't know what it is
That makes me think of you
But it seems to have taken over
Everything I do

Tell me, is there anyone
That you have seen or met
That you have wanted to be with
Under a blazing sunset

You make me feel special
You make me feel good
I feel your the only one
Who has really understood

Stay with me
Be by my side
And we'll watch the rise and fall of our lives
Just like the ocean tide

Mystery Man

You are like no other
I've ever seen before
I want to see you
You're someone I can't ignore

I talk to you
Like we're just friends
But deep inside
I can't pretend

I see something
That could possibly be
When I watch you
Looking back at me

How is it that the boys today
Are insecure and bold
But you rise above the rest
With your heart of gold?

When I first saw you
I was shy and unsure
But now I've discovered
A new feeling, strong and pure

Dreaming of Love

I crave a love
A half that makes me whole
A guy who smiles at my face,
But sings to my soul

I'm a dreamer
Who has wishes and fantasies
I"m hoping for a love
That will last an eternity

If I see an opportunity
I'm gonna take it
I know what I need
And I'm not gonna quit

There aren't that many guys
That come along
With their caring hearts
And their feelings, so strong

But one day
When they finally do
You'll be glad
That one found you

Like You

Like a bird
You've flown into my heart
And now,
We won't spend another minute apart

Like roses in the summer
You brighten up my day
And like clouds in the sky
You'll always stay

Your smile,
As bright as the morning sun
Means we'll go through life
Knowing that we've won

Knowing you're apart of my life
Fills my soul with joy
Who would have thought
That I'd find that special boy

Like the oceans and the rivers
Our love will go on
And we have to cherish it
Before it is gone

I don't know
How I found you
But one thing's for sure
I've stumbled upon something good,
This is true

Searching For Love

Love calmly settles in
And it does not ask why
Like a ship into a harbor
Or the sun into the sky

Two people don't know
Who they are destined to find
All they hope for
Is the gentle, spirited kind

By our friends,
Love is already found
But is it as easy to get there,
With one leap, or one bound?

We'll go from place to place
Always on a secret chase
Never knowing that right here
Is what you've been searching for,
Crystal clear

Unbelievable Guy

I can't tell them
That you're the man of my dreams
Because you're unlike anyone
That I've ever dreamt of or seen

I can't tell them
That you're a great guy
Because you do more than lift me up
You make me fly

So what do I tell them
Those lookin' for "the one"?
I'll give them hope of finding someone like you
I'll say, "Believe me, it can be done."

If I was the first to see
That heart of gold
I guess nature has a plan
For you and me

Risk and Reward

I took a risk
By holding out my hand
I felt that you needed help
Something I could not plan

I am willing to bring you up
From the depths of gloom
And set your heart free
Let the flower of hope start to bloom

I realize I took a chance
By seeing what was wrong
But with the help I've given
I seem to have pushed you along

So, go out there
With your new found confidence
And be the one
To make a difference

A small change
Can turn someone's life around
So go help someone in need
See if dreams can't be found

You Stood By Me

You stood by me
Through the good and through bad
I thought I had lost you there
When it was tough, I was sad

Really you were there
Just a closer look would confirm
And with your friendship came trust
Which I easily earned

You don't know how much it means to me
To have a friend like you
Through all the years we've shared a bond
Because people like you, there are few

Helping Hand

I know that most people, if given the chance
Would walk on by
Without a helping hand
Or a look in the eye

Often a cry for help
Is not always heard
After all, it's just a thought
A feeling, some words

The way life is sometimes
Makes one feel so small
And in this big world
Nobody seems to hear the call

But let me tell you
I see you down there
And I'm coming to whisk you away
Without a moment to spare

I know that most people
Will opt to leave you behind
But I"ll slow down for you
Wait for the sun to shine

Friends Forever

This is a poem written by one of Koriah's good friends...

I love you gal, and always will
I know your feelings but love you still
If you need a friend, someone to care,
Just call my name, and I'll be there

For once in my life a girl came by
And started a love that will not die
I live in a world, I heard in a song
But for you and me, it is all wrong

I hope my deeds, in my simple way
Will tell you things I cannot say
We've talked it over and both agree
It will soon end for just you and me

But for the time just let me do
The little things I want for you
And when you say I'll go my way
Without a reason, why should I say?

So, find the man you're looking for
And maybe he can love you more
For if you're happy, I've done my share
But, always remember, I was there

In my heart I can always say
"I thank the Lord...she passed my way."

Inspiration

You're worth fighting for
Worth holdin' on
You make me feel good
You make me feel strong

You're my inspiration
You're all that I need
You keep me climbin' up
You help me succeed

I don't need dreams
When I've got you
I'm showered with joy
Because of everything you do

I'm gonna keep goin'
I'm gonna make it to the top
There's no reason to look back
No need to stop

I know that in this life
You may not need me
But because of the time we've spent together
For my heart, you've won the key

Me

There's this side of me
That most people never see

I am strong and able
Confident and Stable

Among a group of friends
I am the funny one

For as long as I have had them
I think to myself, their hearts I have won

So, ask yourself
Is this who I see everyday

Who seems to care
In each and every way

I may seem different on the outside
But to love me for who I am inside?
Well, that's for you to decide.
