Eager to please was just the way that he was 

though his attempts there falling short,
expectation
see he would tell of all his conquests,
was he bragging?
but in the evening all alone
Ellen unplanned delays
saving for someone who really cared about you
invincible they say
married to your name
she was the kind between a child and a lady,
quick was her temper
like a blaez from an ember
no one had measured to her standard,
so in the evening all alone all alone
how do I tell them to open their minds
and to take a chance
maybe on finding life’s treasure stubborn they stay set
in their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.


I was thinking today 

if you would remember
you choose to remember
what you left me out there
in the cold days fading away
I see you so near
I hear your voice calling
it calls me from these pages to you
beyond the blue,
so sudden too soon
the secrets we knew
I was thinking today
if you would surrender
to feelings that you tried deserting
and if given the choice
I?d still wait for the moment
still wait for the moment
when I could have
a hero like you
days fading away
but I see you so clear
I hear your voice calling
it calls me from these pages to you
beyond the blue.
