Keep Busy

 Gotta keep busy,

to keep you off my mind.

Keep on looking forward,

no longer back in time. 


Gotta let it go and

free this soul of mine.

There are a lot of ways to imprison,

when messing with the mind.


I'm taking control and not letting go,

no longer letting emotions to flow.

Just like the waters current is fast

and other times it trickles as the 

journey is vast.

Sings...

I could say goodbye a million times, 

but some how you never leave my mine.

writing " The End" on our story 

has no place in this book. 


I tried to turn away 

to look beyond yesterday, 

but I find that I always 

come back to you.


I could say goodbye a million times

but somehow you never leave my mine. 

You are always here with me

in all my nightly dreams. 



~

 Don't take my love and abuse it, 

I won't allow you to just use it, 

don't ya know what it means to me

it's not simply a foolish dream. 


Don't take  my love and abuse it,

I won't allow you to just use it, 

it comes from within my heart 

and it's been there from the start. 


Don't take my love and abuse it,

I won't allow you to just use it,

I'd rather you walk away than

to allow the pain inside me to stay. 


Don't take my love and abuse it

I won't allow you to just use it,


~


I don't care what you say

and I don't care what you do, 

all I know is that I love you 

and time has nothing on me and you.


I don't care where the road leads

or if circles me back to here, 

as long as you are in my heart

I'll be living in every word I share.


I don't care what you say 

adn I don't care what you do, 

all I know is that I love you

and time has nothing on me and you.

 When I need to see you here, 

I close my eyes and there you are. 

Comforting in so many ways, 

the visuals are always so clear. 


I feel you in the touch of the wind

there is never  a stories end, 

for you are here in my heart

where you've been from the start. 


When I hear your voice 

like a song it always toys, 

messing with this heart of mine

it stops the hands of time. 


No matter where we go

what we do or what we know, 

there will always be a place

in heavens space. 


Singing sweet words of love

bring you so near to me, 

once more I close my eyes

to see you there in my dreams.


~

I feel your presence around me

as your laughter haunts the night,

touching me in this most unique way

I think the Lord has given me sight.


The gifts of life only foretell of a

forever love and a magical spell,

that cast a light upon you and I

in a story that we have yet to tell.


The whispers from my lips

come to you through each kiss,

to remind you of a love 

that the soul can't dismiss. 










It's some kind of dream 

where I can't let you go, 

the feelings inside of me, 

continue to grow. 


I'm reaching in the dark

wishing you were here, 

taking my hand in yours

as in your eyes I stare. 


~

This must be memories

that haunt the night, 

messing with my heart

bringing visions to life. 


I don't think it's quite fair

these feelings that I have, 

as I imagine you must 

be having the last laugh.


The dreams are awfully sweet, 

I just can't let them go, 

I review them all the time 

in gratitude of a moment 

when you were mine.

Someday When You are Old and Gray

All you need to know

is written upon the heavens, 

I can't deny that you'll

always be mine. 


Whispers to the wind

no loneliness for you and I,

we'll never be alone 

forever is the way our love

goes.


Tears might certainly fall

but sadness is not in them at all,

Happiness and joy is what this 

heart of mine employs.




Sings>I  held on to the dream

watched as time went by,

hoping it was certainly true, 

that it was always you. 


You lit up the night

gave the stars a meaning, 

wishing that you knew

how much I love you.


Days just kept on passing by

where years ended up a rhyme,

I'll always love you so 

I hope that you would know.






 ...to wake in your arms each morn.


Gentle the kiss that begs for more. 


In the dream I saw you 

and I felt your kiss, 

so very, very surreal 

our lips to lips. 


Beginning or closure

I am not really sure, 

bringing a comfort 

and begging for more. 


The music is playing 

and I failed to dance,

but life is like that 

it gives you one more 

chance.


~


The creek is swelled 

the water left the bank,

spring is upon us 

and for that I'm giving thanks.


There is a lot to be grateful for

the joy comes from within,

as I share my love with you 

through kisses via  the wind.

Scattered Thoughts

 Needing less but wanting more.


The seasons document a life.


Prayers bring peace through hope. 


Because I can. 



The seasons capture time through memory.


The perfect brings both excitement and peace.


Every time I look at the night sky I feel closer to you,

knowing there are only one set of stars above us.


You only have one great love all the rest is just wannabe's 


The waterfall holds secrets that have only been heard by the heart.


I have learned to shield my heart by preventing expectations.


The words are written for my intended audience...self.


I have run away more times than most without ever moving my feet.


The whole others have it worse never changes ones own story.


How we remember is unique to each person.


I forgive but as the saying goes I never forget.


There are only so many emotions but so many ways to express them.


Experiencing that one great love is enough to see me through the day.


Souls do connect.


I've seen you in my dream a thousand times.


I am okay


I plan on traveling because there is a lot I wanna do and see.


The funny thing is I am not alone because you are imbedded 

deep in my heart.


Life is short eat a brownie. 


I am worthy.


Red flags are the signs you see but fail to believe.


The child in me still lives on.


Love taught me how much caring in its most simplistic form means.


Sometimes I am afraid to dream.

Relived

 I have relived the words

through a thousand rhymes,

they brought to life this 

troubled heart of mine. 


It made sense and

was certainly clear, 

of what we felt and

what we shared.


Time will pass 

and I'll be gone, 

but he words of love

will find their song. 


It took a  lifetime 

that is so true 

but like a clear day

the truth came thru.


The lessons learned,

a soul set free 

and a story filled

with memories.


Loving, caring, sharing too

just to name a few, 

for I felt mixed with needs

taught me to believe.


You can set the stage

and fake a smile, 

but in the night the

stars do wow!


For they know 

the truth behold,

that real love never

gets old. 


Our flesh crossed a path

connected with love and laughs, 

music, song and mystical joy

continued to toy.


As I lay here in the early morn

my heart is really quite torn,

if not for the chapters of life

but most certainly to make it right.


Sometimes fear ruled the day

in a angry hurtful way, 

reality once more set in 

canceling out where dreams

came in.

What I have learned

 Unconditional love is rare ...everyone places conditions on a relationship. 


Even forever has its limitations. 


You are always alone in thought as everyone has a different idea of " what is" 


They say " the older you get the faster time goes by" But I realize time is going by fast for everyone, even young people are noticing how quickly time is flying by.


Broken hearts never heal, they scar over. 


If it brings you joy you should keep it 

maybe that is why a lot of people choose to be alone.


Living and being alive are quite different, 

I know a lot of people in my life who have been 

a live but have yet to live. 


I was once given this advice, 

" I can throw you a rope but you need to climb it"

that might be true but it wouldn't hurt if someone 

helped by pulling the rope up a little. 


We only live on as long as someone remembers us, 

maybe that is why I have put so much time into my family tree. 


Two people loving the same way is rare .


Screaming in silence is louder than any sound

but few people stop to recognize or listen. 


I am not frightened by the thought of death, 

but by the reality that at this time of my life its 

inevitably soon. 


The great push or shove is of our own doing 

but a little help never hurt.


People think animals aren't smart but we expect 

them to learn our language. We are not going

around learning how to speak dog or chicken. 


We never let go of childhood we learn more in 

a few years than we will ever learn as an adult.


Family is not a Normal Rockwell painting. 


No matter where we travel , how near or far

we take the person in the mirror and when you 

look in that mirror you have to like what is looking back.


There is always a beginning and a ending. 


We are much more vulnerable than we 

think we are. 


The galaxy is infinite and we matter

very little to it. 


Real friendship never lets go.


Women want to be held to the same regard as men, 

they fail to realize they are just that women . 


Forever is in the memory of those who believe.


I have experienced more than some less than others. 


I've climbed hills but considering the barriers

those hills were mountains. 


I miss my father the most, 

he taught me the most about life and 

yet I had to experience, trip , fall and 

get back up to understand where he 

was coming from.


No matter where or how we choose our burial 

we all end up ashes. 


Hanging on to a love that doesn't love back

is a waste of life. 


Dear friend said '"you didn't ask so you didn't get"

I am learning how true that is. 


That no one is ever happy, When it rains they want 

sunshine and when it's sunny they want the air conditioner. 


My father use to say that " a man puts his pants on one 

leg at a time. " I tried to prove him wrong and put my

feet in at the exact same time. 


There is a script for each of us but who is writing it 

is the question. 


The wealthiest of man  can see the joy in the 

smallest of things or is that poor man who 

is now wealthy because he does feel the joy?


Emotionally tired is like giving up.


One moment wasted is one to many. 


Prayer is positive energy. 


Choices is like a game of chutes and ladders, 

sometimes we go up and other times we are sliding down. 


Fifteen years can be a young person whole life and a

old persons end of life. 


On a clear day I can see forever but the days

haven't been to clear lately. 


Love and hate are both strong emotions 

that once seeded are quite powerful. 


We all have wants and needs 

that is simplicity of our animal drive. 


Watching the sunrise on the beach 

is one of my most beautiful memories, 

mostly because I carry you in my heart.


Living life over again means you lived with regrets,

I have no regrets. 


The gift of life is indeed brief.


Scattered thoughts and yet they always bring me back to you.


Dreams just might be our alternate reality.

Touch

The ducks are a quacking 

and the willow quickly grew 

nostalgic thoughts on the mind

as they had me race to you.


Laughter and tears from day to day, 

shared moments in a special way.

Smiling as I hold on tight 

to the joy and love of my life.


Adventures only we can share

right down to just underwear. 

Emotions that I almost forgot

and the temp is getting hot. 


I saw you clearly in my dream

we shared the day wonderfully,

might have been your promise of eternity 

as I felt you reach out and touch me.
