FEAR OF FLYING
How often have I wondered
Does he ever dream of me
Can he see inside himself
The man that I can see
The fear of having love repelled
Is a pain that I know well
Failed at love's relationships
Has been my nightmare's hell
The man to tame his fear is there
If he can let courage fly
To let his heart soar freely, and
Trust in me to try
To be the sort of woman who
Would be the best of friend
And know that through it all
I'll be there till the end
I can only hope his fear of me
And of relations past
Won't keep him from the realization that
His heart can be free at last
While I lay here dreaming of
Things I've yet to see
I know he musters courage to
Show the feelings he has for me

if only
In stillness lies the maiden, breathes
a weary-laden sigh
i wonder if she dreams of me,
and that, as yet denied...
A moment lost to time, and passed
beyond the grasp of she
a moment only captured by
a memory and me.....
i wonder if she knows, i cannot
help but wonder why
the maiden i would love, if only i
the will to try.…
If only i the courage, tamed
the fear of having failed
once too oft at having loved
and once to oft repelled…
If only she might know that i
in slumber often see
and sigh for having naught but cried
a tear for she and me….
Tomorrow brings another day
another seed to sow
if only i, the will to try
if only she could know….
