I saw the light in the doorway A chill crawled down my back I felt my soul being touched And knew you were there with me You caressed my body With your angelic fingers Any fear I might have had You banished with a kiss And then you disappeared Right before my eyes My senses […]

Success (circa June 1992)
Beneath the starry night I see you in the lime-light You’re so happy and carefree What everyone wants to be You deserve all you’ve received All you thought you needed was someone who believed But everyone stood behind you Solid to see you through And now you’ve reached your summit Yes, you’ve really done it […]
The Storm (circa June 1992)
Raindrops on the window, A storm’s moving in. Sound of thunder rolls low Deep beneath the wind. The lighting flashes Through the darkness of the night. The hail thrashes, Fills the deer’s heart with fright. Quietly in the corner sits a little girl Hoping for calm to appear. All the pain in the world Is […]
Your Song (circa September 1992)
Silence in the darkness I cannot hear the music Whispers in the wind A storm coming is all I hear I cannot hear the words Feel the harmony or touch the soul Of the song you hear So how do I know it’s real
Can You Feel (circa March 1992)
When you look into my eyes, Really look beneath the disguise, Do you like what you see? Can you feel that it’s me? When you speak my name, Uncovering the lying game, Do you like what you hear? Can you feel me near? When you hold me tight, Protecting me with all your might, Do […]
Reflection of You (circa March 1992)
There’s a special feeling I get when I’m near you. It’s like there’s something dealing With what I wished were true. When I look in the mirror, It’s amazing what I see. The reflection is nearer To looking at you than at me. My thoughts, I thought were lies, Began to drive me insane. But […]
You Taught (circa June 1992)
The sweet dalliance I miss That which you and I shared. Never you gave a kiss, But still I knew you cared. I remember your touch As if you’re still right here. I cherish the feeling so much; Will you always be there? Do I love thee truly? Change forever could not The answer I […]
Friends Until the End (circa June 1992)
Confusion overwhelms me When thoughts wonder to you Illusions surround me When I think what you might do If I told you What I feel If I asked you To understand If I needed you to be there To just hold my hand What you want from me Is just what I can’t give What […]
Together Forever (circa April 1991)
The telephone rang. “Jenn, what are you doing,” asked the voice on the other end. “Probably the same thing you are,” she answered, smiling. “Packing, huh?” Only two more days, can you believe it?” “Carol,” Jenn began, tossing a sweater into the bag on the bed. Â “We’ve been waiting for this for twelve years. Â At […]
Letter to a Friend (version 1) (circa June 1992)
I wrote you a letter late last night. I wanted to make things better with all my might. It’s still hard to believe that you’re gone forever. I thought you’d never leave, that we’d always be together. Memories of days spent with you swim around in my mind. Any time I was blue you were […]
Letter to a Friend (version 2) (circa June 1992)
I wrote you a letter late last night. I wanted to make things better with all my might. I still don’t believe what’s going on around me. I thought you’d never leave; by my side you’d always be. I have all the memories swimming in my mind. All my silly worries you helped me leave […]
Letter to a Friend in Heaven (circa June 1992)
My friend, why did you leave? I don’t understand why you have been taken away. Every night my thoughts wander to you. There they linger until the dawn. Confusion overwhelms me when I think that you are gone. Have you seen the “Pearly Gates”? Do they shine so as to see a reflection? And what […]
Mikey (circa March 1992)
I wonder how his mind works,What goes through his head,What in his imagination lurks,Or what he dreams of in bed. I wonder if he ever gets tired,From where his energy spurts,Why he is so wired,Or if, from exhaustion, his body ever hurts. I wonder why he loves meSo very much indeed,Or if he knows I’ll […]
Baby (circa March 1992)
[Cameo] As ILook down, I can seeInnocence shining through each tearThat streamingFrom his eyes tells me that my heartWould shrivel without his soulNear mine. *Written for Michael Anthony Minton
Untitled (circa March 1992)
