Two Way Street
By Franki D.

I�ll always be here for you
If that�s how it should be.
Ready for all that�s out there
That could come to you and me.

I will hear all your trouble�s
And pray that you are well,
And rejoice in your triumphs
And all great news to tell.

Our friendship I�ll hang on to
Like it�s everything and more,
Never letting go of it
Cause that�s what friends are for.

But, I too, will let you go
If that is what you say,
Like the tides of the ocean,
I will quietly slip away.

I won�t hang on to something
That will not hang on to me,
Cause the roads are paved on both sides
And this life�s a two way street.

Unspoken
By Franki D

When you never hear the echoes
Or the whispers in the day,
Then all that�s left is sadness
From a life that didn�t stay.

For we long for the unspoken,
Words we are longing to hear,
That give the soul some comfort
And the answers far and near.

It�s the words that never surface
That can change a woman�s path,
When all we really wanted
Is to hear those words at last.

We will not hear the unspoken
For there�s nothing left to say,
Cause time was of the essence
And that time has slipped away.

Things that should�ve been said
In moments of here and now
Just passed right by in silence
And quietly took it�s bow.

We now will never find here
The moments that drifted by
The words that went unspoken
Have now laid down to die.

Alive
By Franki D

Today is more than a day.
It�s a blessing in disguise.
Today and any other day,
I�m thankful that I�m alive.

With chances still to flourish
And plant seeds to someday grow,
The seeds of inner wisdom
From within will someday show.

And still time for me to walk
Or run if I will choose
Down the pathways of my life
With a clarity I can�t lose.

Still moments to find the peace
And the patience to endure
All I once took for grant it.
Are taken that way no more.

Today I have a blessing.
Today I opened my eyes.
To another day of wonder
And another day to try.

This Heart
by Franki Deejai

Sometime after midnight,
Somewhere within the dark,
A bonfire lit the night up
For someone in the park.

And a heart sent out a prayer
For the heaven's above to hear.
One that asked for comfort
That would take away the fear.

A prayer that sent a message
From this lonesome heart tonight,
That said it's not okay here.
That said it's not alright.

And all it wants for solace
Is a night that's filled with peace.
Nothing more than one moment
Where the loneliness would cease.

Hoping it will be answered.
This heart waits restlessly.
I hope the answer comes soon,
Cause this heart belongs to me.

The Lonely
By Franki D.

Breathe in the gift of silence
As we stand her you and me.
Two people wanting something
That can set tomorrow free.
Look deep within these eyes
And don�t ever look away.
The things tomorrow brings us
You will find right here today.
Just lay your head upon me
As you hear this heart within,
And feel it�s every desire
Where my love does so begin.
Caress it�s very existence.
Hear what it has to say,
Cause the lonely do go crying
At the end of a lonely day.
Just lean into its mercy
And seal it with a kiss,
For all the things that happen
Are things we will surely miss.
Just wrap your arms around me
And, yes, I will do the same.
There�s no one left to look to.
There�s no one left to blame.
Lay down and curl up with me
As we hold each other tight
While the clock moves on so slowly
Throughout the endless night.
It�s here we�ll find the magic
Of the yearning�s with no end.
It�s here that we will find us
When the lonely needs a friend.

I Cried In The Darkness
By Franki D.

I cried in the darkness.
I trembled in the rain.
I felt my heart breaking
And shatter from the pain.

Looked upon the distance.
I looked out to the sky.
Felt an empty feeling
In the wind whipping by.

Land went on forever
Across the deep dark earth,
Stretching out and onward
With nothing left of worth.

Two steps to a doorway
That leads nowhere at all.
Two steps to a silence
Where no one hears you call.

Cause hurt will go unnoticed
And pain is not set free.
It lingers in the heart
Where no one else can see.

Simple logic really
To those of us who know,
That we cry in the darkness
Cause there�s no where else to go.
