All the days gone by
Makes me want to cry..

I think back at times
I'd listen to the soft chimes..

The wind had blown
My children were grown..

Time passed on
Days were gone..

My hair grayed
Life had frayed..

The yard had rough edges
With over grown hedges..

Happy times though
Will come and go..

Love is still here
I can feel it near..

With many warm looks
And well written books..

Always loved what I do
Even if my time flew..

Pages of my life have been turned
As well as many candles burned..

I'd rewrite my days
Never changing any of the ways..

All the warm smiles
Across the miles..

And given the chance
I'd take the same old dance..

Chance we take
What’s distance to the heart?
Its excuses we make...

Matters of the heart
The look, the sound of your voice
Dreams of you right from the start..

Your warm tender voice
I close my eyes
I see your face, if I had but one choice....

Hmm..What warm, passionate eyes
Holding thoughts close to ones breast
Wonder at all the good byes...

My heart beats strong in my breast
Tender and yet wild is what I feel
This day is but one day, I wonder of the rest...

Are the days to be fantasies to feel?
In my mind and heart
I wonder if they could someday be real?..

As I lay in the field of green
Watch the clouds drift over head
Will my romantic thoughts ever been seen?

These things I wonder in my head
Smile and remember one thing
I can always write this all in a book instead...

I close my eyes and see the depth of your soul.

I reach and feel the fine lines of time that are etched across your face.

I breathe in and your essence feeds me.

Something’s are untouchable yet we reach and hold on to them, drawing them near, if only in the depth of our minds.

The face you look at isn't me
You don't really know me…

My life is not a game
I do have a name…

This isn't just a body that’s warm
I need someone to keep me safe from harm…

A man that cares whether I cry
One that wants me to live inside not die…

Why couldn't you see the signs that you missed
All I needed was to be held and kissed…

There’s so many things I need to say
Someday maybe I will find the way..

Can anyone tell me how to stay?
I want to be here yet run away..

My mind is in such a state of confusion
Oh God what will be the conclusion?..

Hands slip, lips glide
These feelings that are wild
The ones deep inside...

My soft lashs flutter
With cheeks all a blush
As your name I do mutter...

The warmth of your kiss
My pulse does quicken
In these arms I feel such bliss...

Caress me, kiss me
Make this feel so true
In hopes our love will always be...

Breathless wonder of the night
Hold me close my darling
I know this is so right...

I close my eyes and breathe in deep
Pulling up the covers
As I snuggle down to sleep...

Dreams of you filter across my mind
Your face, your arms
So safe in love with you I find...

~Author Elina Rawlins~

You are the candle, loves the flickering flame
Engulfing my heart with the sound of your name…

Shine your love on this heart of mine
Feelings so deep, true and fine…

So many reasons, so many ways
I want to be with you all of my days..

Said I love you, it’s so strong
These feelings can't be wrong…

Need you forever, need you today
My hopes are for you to never stray..

Each step I take with you at my side
As the ocean is far and wide..

My love is as the sky above
Millions of twinkling points of light
Deep into the starry night..

My feelings are so deep and true
With the love I found in you..

My life is cast to the depths of despair
I have no reason to continue in life’s fare...

Nothing but darkness surrounds
This dense blanket of fog abounds...

With a heavy weighted down heart, I turn
Walk into the flames to burn...

Can't deal with this intense feeling
No longer want to try with the dealing...

I will take one last breath
Before I pass into death...

As I say my good bye
No one will cry...

~Author Elina Rawlins~

I've traded this life as well as my name
So I'd have all the fame…

Got my name in flashing neon lights
Shining brightly through the nights…

I hit all the coolest bars
Drove the fanciest cars...

It's a life that’s cheep
I've lost so much sleep…

The thing about money
It isn't sweet like honey…

The greed
Kept me in such need…

All of Hollywood’s schemes
I got lost in so many dreams…

Crazy thoughts go through my head
As all of those drugs make me feel dead…

Fame isn't what I thought it would be
Now all I want is to be... ME!...

~Author Elina Rawlins~

When you say you love me the world begins to whorl
My heart skips a beat when I think of you
I'm so happy knowing that I'm your only girl...

Love grows more each passing day
Moments turn to minutes, then hours
My heart pounds as spoken words you say...

My life is yours day and forever
Thoughts of us together
I want you beside me in every endeavor…

I am as a moth is to a flame
Your fire brings me so close
Each time my ears hear your name...

With your touch so tender
As your hand caress
My love fills me with surrender…

You are always with me
When we are together or apart
Because I know our love will always be...

From each and every new day
Springs forth these feelings
Our lives together will stay...

Love you today, tomorrow and forever
From young to old
Our hearts continues and ends in never...

One would never know
How important is the little toe..

It’s a dinky
Little pinky…

He'd be the last to meet
There upon the feet…

At the end of the row
But still counted as a toe…

He sets in the shoe so tight
Usually never sees the light..

So looking at your toes remember to count
The right amount..

Because without the last little porky
Your feet would look rather dorky…

Gives you balance on your feet
So you can stand when two meet..

So now you know
The Importance of the little toe…

I was full of life, happy and carefree
One day I woke to find my body wasn’t me..

I looked out at the world and dreamt of that day
That I thought would always stay..

Times that was good and I could pretend
My life was so full of joy and it wouldn’t end..

I struggle to walk or hold you tight
Hoping my mind will always stay right..

My heart reaches out even if my hands can not
Feelings and tears of what my life has got..

People stop and now look at me
Not understanding or knowing how it can be...

I close my eyes and get lost it my past
It all went by so very fast..

A cage I live in, my body I’m locked inside
The world of pain I cannot hide...

Give thanks of your life so free
Remember that you could be me..

~Author Elina Rawlins~

Reaching out across the distance of time and space
I close my eyes and see your face...

Our minds connect and touch as close as close can be
Unspoken words float as one this I can see...

Thoughts and feelings that form our lives as we grow
Making a bond forever this I know...

There’s trust and care
This deep connection we share...

Sometimes friends are closer then lovers
Feelings and understanding shelters us like covers...

I'm so glad we found each other in this life...
You make it seem so less full of strife..

My world is a better place
Knowing our lives are as vines enter lace...

Always there in thoughts as well as deeds
When each of us has certain needs...

This friendship that never ends
It's something that transcends...
