What a woman wants

by Shelly Dyke

A woman wants to be held tight,

to be told everything will turn out all right,

she wants a man who understands,

that she can't always be strong,

she wants comfort in the night,

to be told she's safe in her lover's arms.

She wants to be told she's beautiful,

especially when she doesn't feel it,

she doesn't want to hear frustrated sighs

when she's down,

she wants to hear

I Love You.

A woman wants compassion and love,

she needs to be told every day

that she's loved in every way,

when she's down

and you don't know what to do,

just hold her close to you,

she needs to be touched in every way,

she wants to be romanced,

she wants to be fought for,

to know she's worth the sacrifice

that you will go through.

She wants to know you love her deeply,

And if you don't show it she'll think you don't.

So if you want a woman's heart,

just keep one thing in mind,

she'll give you everything she's got,

if you do the same,

but if you deceive her,

there's only so far you can go,

before her love starts to die,

and in the end it will be you

who is left to cry.

What I want
by Shelly Dyke

What I really want
is a lover to hold me tight,
what I get is the darkness
to caress me within its shadows.
What I need is this darkness
in my soul to be filled with light,
what I get is pain
to add to the hurt I've felt in the past.
What I want to feel is happy
to know that I'm alright no matter what,
what I feel is empty.
This darkness is spreading throughout my body.
What I want is to have someone in my life
to love me the way I need to be loved,
what I have is no one to fill this empty void,
I don't feel fulfilled.

Presence
by Kdgrippo

I feel you everywhere…
Your arms are wrapped around me tight
I see your wink over the morning paper
And your smug grin, as you wait for me in our bed at night

I feel your loving presence…
You’re still everything to me
You’re in every laugh that I hear
And every smile that I see
You’re still a part of all I do
You’re locked tight in my memory
(I’ve thrown away the key)

You’re still all I want (for me)…
You’re in every poem that I write
And every song that I sing
You’re part of every good book that I’ve read
You're the dominant player in all my dreams
You were (and are) my heart’s desire
In the still of night I still feel your fire
And I’m now newly acquainted with the sting

I’m trying so hard…
To keep you ever near
By far my greatest fear, babe,
Is that you’ll disappear
Don’t leave me honey
I still need you by my side
I promise I’ll get on with life
I just need some time

In the meantime…
Let me go on loving you
In the only way I know how
With all that I am
With every breath that I take
With every smile and every tear
With every kindness I bestow
I still will walk in faith…

I pay tribute to you, love
You were ~ I AM ~
