Together
On the beach together
walking hand in hand
At a raging concert
dancing to the cover band
Together through the bad times
together in the good ones too
Reaching for the clouds
breaking every taboo
Making love so close
With every breath taking you in
being ever close to you
my hands upon your skin
I always feel so high
when you smile at me that way
I am always hungry
your love is my buffet
I'd be with you forever
or even just an hour
every time I hold you close
my soul you do empower
Cold Hands
Cold hands
warm heart
beating fast
what a start
sparkling smile
batting eyes
good feeling inside
each time she replies
She loves good movies
also good food
talking with her
is improving my mood
Sweating palms
shaking knees
thoughts of her
are moments I seize
Just do my thing
be who I am
diving head first
like I don't give a damn
sink or swim
I don't care
just let go
don't have a prayer
I could drown
it would be okay
cause I talked to you
on my dying day
Cheating Heart
by
Chris Nicholson
The rain is falling down
I can feel it on my face.
It washes away all my tears,
But my heart is still a waste.
The cleansing rain coming down,
Tries so hard to heal my heart.
It lays in pieces on the ground,
It’s broken all apart.
I stand there and I wonder,
Then I crumble to the ground.
Did she ever really love me?
Why did she kick me while I’m down?
She took a heart I thought was hard
and she softened it with her touch.
She molded it and made it new,
Didn’t think I could feel this much.
I put her on a pedestal,
For what she’d done for me.
She renewed my hope in love,
And made me shout with glee.
Just when I thought she’s perfect,
When I thought she can do no wrong.
She took my heart and broke it,
While she sang her cheating song.
Second Chance
By
Christopher Nicholson
Walking down the street today
I saw you across the way.
You with him again
much to my dismay.
I remember when that was me,
holding you hand, walking down the street
but our relationship was cracked
just like this old concrete
I never gave the effort
never gave my heart to you.
You did everything for me
but I only made you blue
What a fool I was
to not know what I possessed
Your love for me was full, sincere
wish I had passed the test.
If only I had a second chance
love songs I would compose
and never make you sorry,
that I'm the one you chose
Hope this new guy's good to you
and always treats you right.
Cause if he don't, then I'll be there
riding in like your shining Knight.
What Remains
by
Christopher Nicholson
I've been burned
I've been scarred.
Now I'm only left with remnants,
my heart charred.
It's only just a small thing,
a little piece of me.
but, it's ever so important
with the ability to set me free
I'm closed off and I'm broken
but you find the way to my heart.
You hold it in your gentle hands,
I feel my love kick start.
If I can only heal it.
I can't do it all alone.
I feel it renewed a little bit
every time you call me on the phone.
Each time I see you face,
Each time I feel your touch.
I can feel the freedom coming,
I can't hold back too much.
I let the feelings flow,
hope they're no too much to handle.
It's always dark when I'm alone,
glad you're here to light my candle.
Perfect Enough
by
Christopher Nicholson
I used to think I needed
a perfect, "special" lady.
Of who and what she'd be like
and how I'd call her baby.
She'd be generous and kind,
beautiful, honest and caring.
She would have my full attention
and always catch me staring.
She would never let me down.
She would never break my heart.
I knew that when I found her,
surely we would never part.
I searched and searched my whole life through,
looking for my cutie.
Now I know I'll never find her,
until I realize life’s true beauty.
It doesn't matter what she looks like.
It matters how she makes me feel.
Just being happy with one another,
that's how I'll know it's real.
I want to wake up next to her,
to laugh the day away.
As long as she's here next to me,
everything will be okay.
She not the picture of gorgeous,
but who can really be?
I know that she's not perfect,
but she perfect enough for me.
Seasons Change
by
Christopher Nicholson
Remember dancing in the rain
as we sang our favorite song?
watching stars in the sky
waiting for the dawn.
Remember skinny dipping
getting away from summer's heat?
Waiting for a breeze,
warm sand beneath our feet.
Remember walking hand in hand
the leaves changing, green, yellow, red?
noticing their beauty
not that soon they would be dead.
I remember the lonely winter
always thinking of your face.
Wishing it was spring again
so I could feel your warm embrace.
Support the Troops
By
Christopher Nicholson
American, Australian, British,
Korean and Italian too.
Our boys have been through hell man
and they did it all for you.
Doesn't matter if they're yellow,
brown, red, black, or white.
They fight this filthy war,
so we can sleep at night.
Forget about the governments,
the underhanded politics.
They aren't the ones who are dying,
they're only throwing bricks.
Our boys didn't choose this war
any more than you did.
If they really had a choice,
violence they would forbid.
We're losing a generation
of healthy upright men.
While governments fight over
who, what, why, where and when.
I hope this war will soon be over.
I hope it's coming to an end.
It's time to bring our boys home.
It's time to let them mend.
So remember in your daily life
just jumping through the hoops.
Our men are dying over there,
so please support the troops.
Priceless Treasure
By
Christopher Nicholson
My heart is deep and caring,
but it's always in disguise.
I hide it in a deep dark place
far away from prying eyes.
It longs to have the taste of love,
to feel it is complete.
So I keep it locked in a box,
modest and discreet.
I buried the box in a secret place,
then a map I drew.
Every since I've known you
I've given every clue.
The map it not on paper,
for it is in my soul.
Lead right where it takes you
and you'll surely make me whole.
The treasure in the box
is priceless and unique.
You know it's much more precious
than any dumb anitque.
My heart will open all it's doors
to a heart that's good and true.
I kneel and pray every night
that he'll lead me straight to you.
Love and Flowers
By
Christopher Nicholson
New love is like a flower,
so fragile and so tender.
Don't forget to water everyday,
and never ever bend her.
Can't bend new love with our lies,
or our cheating ways.
If we nurture this special love,
it will last for all our days.
The flower grows so slowly,
no need to rush it along.
We won't rush new love either,
or else she'll do us wrong.
Plant a flower in bad soil,
and it will surely die.
Love the wrong person for you,
and all you'll do is cry.
Make sure the soils good and fertile,
before you plant the flower.
Do the same with love my friend,
and you'll feel loves awesome power.
Untitled
Christopher Nicholson
There is a deep hole in the ground,
where all you can see is black.
Once you fall into this deep dark hole,
it seems there's no coming back.
It's so lonely down here,
there's no one to see.
I feel closed in, can't really breathe,
why isn't any one helping me?
I claw at the walls of this bottomless pit,
trying so hard to get out.
but it doesn't matter what I do,
kick, scream, cry, yell, or shout.
I finally give up, start to relax,
I can get used to this night.
No one could help me out of this hole,
no one could here my plight.
There's a light up above, calling to me,
my soul is completely at peace.
The light is so bright, I hear angels,
My body cries, " Oh sweet release"
Loving Me
The moon is shining brightly,
the stars, they seem to glow.
Whenever you're here next to me,
The night sky doesn't seem so hollow.
The morning shower's warmer,
flowers have a sweeter smell.
When I have you near me,
It's like I'm under your spell.
I don't know what you do to me,
but you make my world complete.
Is it something in your amazing eyes,
or the smile that's always so sweet?
I know my life is good now,
without you, where would I be?
My life used to be so empty,
thank you for loving me.
Broken Soldier
Here I am in this foreign land.
All that I see around me is sand.
I'm here to kill men I do not know.
I don't think I'll ever understand.
I came here just a simple man,
No different from you.
But the things that I must do here
Will change me through and through.
I live through all the killing,
Of other acts I can not speak.
The nightmares keep me from sleeping,
Dear lord, I feel so weak.
I know the cost of war now,
Even though I did not die.
When I think of what we had to do,
I'm left always asking, "Why?"
I didn't go to war for me,
I went to serve my country.
Now I really now why they say,
"Freedom isn't free."
ColdCity
I walk around this city,
there are people all around.
So much human contact,
but no happiness to be found.
In this city full of people,
loneliness is everywhere.
The people are so sad.
They have no smile to spare.
How can we live like this?
Just "rats" caught in a race.
With wealth, poverty, murder, rape,
how can we keep this pace?
This city life is cold,
the people colder still.
Is this the way life's supposed to be,
or is there a better deal?
You
Your smile always brings the light
to an otherwise gloomy day.
Your eyes, so bright, affect me,
in a completely different way.
You heart, it is so special.
So charitable and true.
Loving, sweet, gentle, caring,
these are the words that describe you.
you truly are a lady,
almost never a bad thing to say.
your words and actions are like your heart,
kindness they always display.
You're truly a special woman,
you are the finest catch.
I truly hope you meet the man,
who will be your perfect match .
Loneliness
Loneliness is like a shadow,
falling across the land.
Love is like a foreign place,
from which I'll always be banned.
It's hard to get out of bed;
hard to eat my food.
I want so much to do something,
but I'm never in the mood.
I yearn for human touch.
I need it oh so bad.
If I don't soon get the cure for this,
I'm sure that I'll go mad.
Just when I'm at my lowest,
when I know it can't get worse.
A new person comes into my life,
and breaks this awfull curse.
Oh look, the clouds are breaking.
The sun is shining through.
I can finally see the light of day,
because of the smile from you.
Love Fades
It's 3 am, I wake up,
I wonder where you are.
I get up, look out the window,
of course there is no car.
Said you'll be working late again,
but how late could it be?
Is it really work this time,
or have you stopped loving me?
It's 4 o'clock, I'm sitting here,
as you walk through the door.
I look at you, I'm crying,
"I can't do this anymore."
"I know that you've been cheating.
Well, I've been cheating too.
The only problem here for me,
is that I'm still in love with you."
I get up to go, she says, "Don't leave,
what about this commitment that we've made?"
I say, "How did we get here?
How did our sweet love fade?"
She says, "Let's just work through it.
Won't nothing get in our way."
I say, "You know I could never leave you.
Our love is here to stay."
The Painter
My love is like an artist
my brushes are my hands
I'm like an old explorer
discovering new lands
My paint, my kisses
favorite color, red,
Your body is my canvas,
I'll lay out on the bed
I will paint you slowly,
with soft, feathered strokes
When I kiss you so sweetly
your soft moan do I coax
Your skin, soft like velvet
melts with the touch of my lips
Exploring you ever so gently
from your neck to the curve of your hips
You grab my arms, pull me close,
I can feel your body heat
I look in your eyes and see yearning,
My masterpiece is nearly complete
Best Friends, Best Lovers
I didn't wake up this morning
cause I didn't sleep last night
I couldn't get you out of my mind
even though you're out of site
Don't know how to breach this subject
but my feelings are so true
I'm thinking of how to tell you
"I'm falling head over heels for you"
I've known many women,
who were sensitive and kind
but I know what they were lacking
it's your spirit, heart, sould and mind
I know that we are friends now
and that lights my every day
best friends make best lovers
at least that's what they say
You know what's in my heart now
You know just what I feel
No matter what you choose to do
I want you to know my love is real
Alone
When I sleep at night
all that's in my mind,
is will my love be sweet,
compassionate and kind?
I've looked my whole life through,
will I ever find my lady?
When I ask God, "Is this the time?"
he always answers, "Maybe."
When I am at my lowest point
and I am feeling down
I wonder, "Is he laughing at me?
Am I his personal clown?"
Somewhere along the way,
I realize in the night
It is not God who is at fault,
it is MY lack of might.
I feel the sadness slip away
and in its place is hope.
I know that I can find my love,
til then I can just cope.
I search for her all day and night.
I search for every hour.
And after all my searchings done
I've found my precious flower.
She's everything I thought
a woman needs to be.
She's beautiful sweet and kind.
She means the world to me.
I kiss her lips, I hold her close,
as we dance ever slow.
I hold her close, I promise,
I will never let her go.
Now soon we're getting married,
my heart it beats so fast.
I pray a little prayer to God,
"O Lord I hope this lasts."
We've been together two years now,
our first child's on the way.
We still love each other just as much
as we did on our wedding day.
John's going off to college now.
I know that he'll be alright.
He's going to be an engineer,
I know his future's bright.
It's forty years since the day,
I saw that twinkle in her eye.
We had her funeral today.
Why did she have to die?
I stood in front of loved ones.
I said a special prayer.
I told her, "Will you wait for me?
for I will be soon be there."
We begin our life alone,
and it ends just the same.
If you don't live in the middle,
it's you who are to blame.
Priceless
By
Christopher Nicholson
Her hair is black as night.
Her eyes, they almost match.
Any man who chases her will find,
She’s almost impossible to catch.
She is a natural beauty,
Just like the girl next door.
She will woo you with her eyes,
And leave you wanting more.
A heart like hers is special,
Kind, soft, warm, and tender.
She’ll know if you are really true,
Or just another pretender.
In love she will be careful,
She’s slow to show her cards,
But once you’ve won her over,
You’ll forever have her heart.
Remember, always treat her
Like she’s a priceless vase.
Her heart is easily broken,
And impossible to replace.

Face to Face
The wind blows through her hair
sunlight dancing on her skin.
A peaceful look upon her face,
hand resting on her chin.
She looks at me,
smiling, content.
With love in her eyes
she gives her consent.
She'll be my lover,
my wife, my friend.
Why she love me so,
I can't comprehend.
I take her hand,
we slowly stand.
I can hear music playing.
Isn't it grand?
I never thought I
would come to this place.
On Cloud number nine
here, face to face.
