And I Will Walk

"And I Will Walk"

   - by Luke Putz 

Our paths are not the same but were

Along the way so similar,

We walked together heart in heart,

But now the time is to depart,

We step apart and look to see,

What will these paths change us to be,

You start again, but I do wait

And struggle with a heart of hate,

You turn around and shake me back,

You chide me for what I do lack,

Yet what you do, you do for me,

So I my best I'll grow to be,

I dry my tears and stand upright

And then prepare for solo flight,

Myself I've learned so much about

And prep to change inside and out,

Although we are not hand in hand,

We each now know where we do stand,

As we begin each our own stride,

Our spirits still stand side by side,

We each will help the other when

We stumble and do need a friend,

We will be there to help us out

When we fall into pits of doubt,

Although I know our paths will rent,

I thank you for the time we spent,

And when it comes, to you I'll bow,

And I will walk my own path now.

I Dreamed a Dream...

"I Dreamed a Dream"

   - by Luke Putz

I dreamed a dream and you were there,

Your long and flowing dark brown hair

Did frame your face, let beauty shine

And flaunted what is no longer mine,

Your eyes with loving tender gaze,

When cast on me, I had to faze,

The spell of your enchanting smile

Did make me stop and stay a while,

We moved in close and I did taste

Again that which I dared not waste,

It was as sweet as honeyed love,

That soon took wing just like a dove,

Although I dreamed, I knew this dream

Was just how I wished life would seem,

It held no truth or life in it,

And when I knew, my heart did split,

My thoughts and mind conflicted were

At war and odds my soul did spur,

Which side was right which part was wrong?

Inside I am a storm ripped throng,

For what you've done I want to hate,

Or will true love still be my fate,

You've hurt my heart so I'll strike back,

Yet still your love I cannot lack,

Can we return from whence we came,

Or would that be a farce a game?

Yet should we walk and not look back,

Although my heart on soul attacks?

My paths diverge into the mist,

The light you gave is sorely missed,

I'll grope and stumble through the black

And ne'er forget what I do lack,

One side says love the other hate,

But I will force myself to wait,

Until you choose which path you'll take,

And then from there my life I'll make...
