A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF SPENCER CARTER III

UNTITLED

Shining bright on a rainy day the lovers walk arm in arm Flowers bloom where their footprints barely touch the ground The world turns by their love for each other The universe does move around these two They bring peace of heart and soul to all who are near Love so strong so pure Changing reality for the better

IN TWILIGHT

Here we go again loving, laughing, playing the games children play when they're young Thoughts turn to our future and I think just before the fading light and the coming of the night will this last I look at you and see the gray in your dark hair while you touch the wrinkles as you hold my face and know nothing last forever And even though I'm thinking this I smile because while we're mortal our love will shine on After suns burnout after the universe is cold and dark Love goes on with infinite power

TOUCHED

The leaves fall on a early fall day Rain shower of colors come down on our heads showing us the beauty in dying A leaf touches your eye causing a tear to roll down your cheek and I kiss it away drinking in your essense At that moment you kiss me and we share our love, our soul on a early fall day

THE RAIN

They stand together water running down their faces melding them Into one soul Tears flow from their eyes mixing with the rain Mixing the feelings of the moment Of parting the pain from that And of joy for when they'll be together once again Souls that shine thru the love and pain like raindrops reflecting a bright starry night

FOR A FRIEND

Sitting in my room in my favorite chair watching Sunday just begin outside my window Paper in my lap coffee at the side music in the background to help wake the day A gentle breeze brings breakfast to me from next door I smile when I think about all the times we sat here together just like this But now you're gone and Sundays while still are nice They aren't the same I miss your smile and laughter and the way you would pretend to doze back off just so you can take the funnys if I put them down No,Sundays aren't the same And you left me long before you left the world It was a joy for the time that we had to share our Sundays together I always miss that I hope wherever you are There are forever Sunday mornings for you to enjoy

ECHOES

Like a ghost in a haunted house The sounds of your footsteps Of your passing thru my life I never told you what you meant to me Now I can only tell you how much I miss you And how the sounds of you are still with me in my heart Making me wish you were here Instead of just the shadows of the past Haunting my soul

WARM NIGHTS

A FAN IN THE WINDOW BLOWING WARM AIR ACROSS US AS WE LAY STAY IN THE NIGHT LISTENING TO THE QUIET THATS' OUT THERE PASS THE SOUNDS OF THE DARK A DROP OF SWEAT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY NECK FROM THE CHILL I GET LOVING YOU IN MY ARMS

16

DAYS OF LIGHT

WE WALK AMONG PEOPLE LIVING IN QUIET SORROW WE NOT KNOWING THAT WE TOO ARE LIKE THESE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE GRAY INSTEAD OF THE LIGHT THE LIGHT OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF TIMES WHEN WE FOUND JOY IN MOMENTS WHEN WE THOUGHT WE COULDN'T TO FIND OUT WE ARE STRONGER THAN WE WERE LEAD TO BELIEVE THOSE ARE THE DAYS OF LIGHT, AND LIFE WE MUST HOLD ON TO

THE FALLEN

(HOPE) Destruction,Dishonor,horrors he had caused On purpose enjoying fully each Pain he was able to mirror in others His need to cause this: great The Pain of Love tossed away Makes him find happiness in this muck and misery that has become his life Telling himself,showing the World If he cannot have one,he shall indulge in the other And so he goes about his tasks with glee Or so he thinks Buried in the bleak landscape his soul had become A single piece of his hearty by God's Grace some how untouched by what he had willingly made of hisself A part of him that healed,forgiven and was ready when the moment was right to try again with the world The right time with the right person Forever waiting for the moment Believing,knowing in this small piece of light It would come: REDEMPTION
