Undying Love
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

You love me so…
Please know I know.
You’re my safeguard,
My Saint Bernard…


You hug my mind
Across all time…
I’ll hold your heart
When we’re apart.


It’s quite all right
To feel the fright;
Cause fight or flight,
Each day has night.

We can’t revise…
Our hands our tied.
But ties that bind
Can never die.


I love you so…
I know you know.
We’re in the throes…
It’s time to go.

Off & On

Undying Love

Bizarro
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

Didn’t I finish this task before?
Why don’t my feet seem to touch the floor?
Something don’t look right about that door…
Why do I feel underscored?!

Is this reality?
Is this a fantasy?
Is this what truly be?
Or is this all just a dream?

Why does time seem to be standing still?
Why does that teapot seem extra shrill?
Why does this bridge seem so steep uphill?
Why do I feel overfilled?!

Is this reality?
Is this a fantasy?
Is this what truly be?
Or is this all just a dream?

When did I start up that radio?
Why do my feet boom when I tiptoe?
Something looks cosmic about that glow…
Why don’t I feel in the know?

Is this reality?
Is this a fantasy?
Is this what truly be?
Or is this all just a dream?

Marriage (Love Letters)
lyrics by Matthew Thornicroft

Lest you ever thought me too aloof
Here’s a poem to provide you proof
That when the poet in me goes unseen
Devoted to you I will be

You bring out the best in me it’s true
Empty my life would be without you

You’re as awesome as an evening sunset
Any time with you is well spent


I gaze at you before I go to sleep
Your face is the last thing I see
In hopes my dreams consist only
Of all the joy that’s you and me

Whenever I pray I make sure I
Thank God that you are in my life

No one makes me feel like I do for you
No one could love me as you do


Your trust you gave at our first meeting
A memory never fleeting
Believe me what I say is true
When you’re in need I’m here for you

Be not afraid of what lies ahead
Lyrics by love (God’s will) we shall be led
When it comes to proof no more is needed
With you my life is completed


I thank God you’re in my life...
I thank God you’re in my life...
I thank God that you and I now share one life!

Marriage (Love Letters)

Castoffs
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

Cast
Off...

Because the one isn’t working,
And the other one is demon-possessed.

Cast off!

Castoffs

On the Edge
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

Back to the bets we hedged,
Back to the summit’s ledge;
Back to the stakes we pledged;
Back to the water’s edge.

Every day is
A roll of the dice…
But such 
Is 
The nuts and bolts 
Of life.

Table for craps is set;
Wheel’s spinning for roulette;
Stay in or get out of bed – 
Either way, it’ll be dredged…

On the Edge

You Are Beautiful
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

Did you know, 
Did you know —
Did you know you are beautiful?
I know you are beautiful.

I don’t think it gets said enough
You are beautiful;
I don’t think you know quite how much
You are beautiful...


Did you know, 
Did you know —
Did you know you are much beloved?
I know you are treasured, love.

I don’t think it gets said enough
You are invaluable;
I don’t think you know quite how much
You are beautiful...

Did you know, 
Did you know —
Did you know you are much beloved?
I know you are treasured love.


Did you know, 
Did you know —
Did you know you are beautiful?
I know you are beautiful.

You Are Beautiful

Bedabbled
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

The moon beckons like a wolf’s howl — 
Beset lyrics by an eclipse.

Wraithlike forms emerge from a rose-colored mist… 
The sounds and smells all ring a bell — 
Or so I hear one ring…

The mist is unnaturally blushed.

A trail of footsteps manifests.

Music arises; music arouses — 
And the silhouettes start to twirl…

Stomp to the beat… 
Soles in the footprints… 
Vines creep 
And the clouds bleed… 
Stomp to the beat.

The coral haze corrals 
With a taste like cotton candy
And a feel like balyrics by oil. 
The bell tolls.

The mist is unnaturally flushed.

Lights flash like a disco ball — 
Gleaming on a treasure chest 
Brimming with gemstones.

Twirl to the beat… 
Souls in the footprints… 
Jig with a leap.

The casket of jewels — 
Diamonds and jade. 
Twirl to the beat.

The bell bellows.
The mist is unnatural.

Move your feet. 
Stomp to the beat.

The coffer’s a coffin but 
The jig gets down. 
Twirl to the beat.
The jig ain’t up…
Twirl to the beat. 
Fruitless bell… 
Stomp to the beat.

Irish Blessings
from Traditional Irish epigrams 

May the road rise to meet you. 
May the wind be at your back. 
May the sun shine upon your face 
And the rains caress your grass. 
May your nights be uneventful
And your days be full and grand. 
And may the Lord always hold you 
In the hollow of His hand.

May love and laughter light your days
And warm your heart and home. 
May good and faithful friends be yours 
Wherever you may roam. 
May peace and plenty bless your world 
With joy that long endures. 
And may all life's passing seasons 
Bring the best to you and yours.

May brooks, and trees, and warbling hills
Join the chorus too.
And every gentle wind that blows
Bring cheerfulness to you.
May the footprints of your loved ones
Never wash out of the sand. 
And may the Lord always hold you 
In the hollow of His hand.

Empathy
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

It’s time to realize
That we 
Don’t gotta fight
When 
No two are exactly alike —

Cause we can 
Empathize;
We’ve all been inflamed,
Whether or not we’re the same.

And it might stupefy,
But we
Don’t gotta hate
When 
In some way we can still relate —

Cause we can
Empathize;
We’re all thumped by pain,
Whether or not we’re the same.

Unknowns can terrify,
But we
Can gain insight
When we 
Flood the dark we’re in with light —

Cause we can
Empathize;
We’ve all been afraid,
Whether or not we’re the same.

Marriage V (Still Here)
lyrics by Bridget Viviani

And you'll still 
Be here 
In the morning —
No deserted pillow 
When I wake…
And I'll still 
Be here 
When we’re storming —
When we're both 
A bit too much to take.

And you’ll still
Be here
When we’re down-and-out —
When life is dealing
Dire straights…
And I’ll still
Be here
When we’re knocked about —
Beat upon
Lyrics by those who love to hate.

And you’ll still
Be here
When I’m injured —
Broken, 
Bruised, or
Bearing bundled pain…
And I’ll still
Be here
When you’re infirm —
Queasy,
Dazed, or
Weathering from age.

Marriage V (Still Here)
