AWAKEN
© Gary Drury™
When I awaken and see your face
The glow you release feels like paradise
Your eyes are open windows
Revealing the truth inside
As we lay here face to face.
I’ve searched the world over
For someone like you and
Through the jungle of confusion
I came across many illusions;
Until I awakened and saw my place
Here with you laying face to face.
I gave you my anger
The passion of my love
We did unmentionables
Before the heaven’s above
The moon shines upon us
The sun sets in the west
A rainbow lights up midnight
As we embrace face to face.
Poetry in motion we collide in the night
Resting on beaches and oceans of delight
Kismet we came
Laying here awakened, face to face.
UNSPOKEN WORD
© Gary Drury™
Many of nights come to mind
But the ones with you are one of a kind.
Many of nights embrace the light
But when I'm with you — I loose all sight.
Unspoken word — A loving heart sounds
Unspoken word — My world spins round
Somewhere, another love's found.
Unspoken word — I must admit
Unspoken word — I must submit
Somewhere, someday, I must commit.
Off in the distance
A far away scene
Feel some resistance
A silent scream.
Into the light
You are a wondrous sight
Feeling your might
You are a sinful delight.
But, after all of the words
And the sentences flow
The unspoken word
Is how I love you so.
NATIONS INSIDE US

I looked back to a time
through my memories of yesterday
Reflecting on things we once did and said
Of a life long love
Distantly we shared and
On everything we held sacred to our hearts
We're two birds walking on different paths
But on my behalf the times when we laughed
There were times tears sigh with us
Though nothing brought us closer
Than our love and trust
As do our memories now
that never show signs of rust
Making my way through the dark
My mind's memories open windows
My eyes twinkling like the stars above us
Bringing yesterday to me today,
And somehow I can hear her voice simply say
"My love I hold so dear
may we never part from our years
And that we recover from our fears
As we uncover memories of yesteryear
memories of love we shared"
Gazing into the mirror I began to see her face
with her eyes pouring out her sweet innocence
my beloved
Gradually her image erased and
treasures of yesterday
Help me break into another day
Lyrics and memories of yesteryear
Something to have and to hold
A nation's gentle song
And kisses in her eyes
Show inside us
Dreams of hope and trust
A love, with nations inside us.
