Tethered Dream

~

It doesn't always turn out the 

way you had hoped...

I thought about the treasure
and it held no silver nor gold,
for it is the gems of happiness,
that the stories of life are told.
~
The heart can't be so wrong as
to not identify the magic of love,
but it is through recognition that
heartache meets with sorrow.
~




If I could rearrange the stars,
and string them across the sky,
I'd write the words of love to
bridge your gentle heart to mine.

If I could take the clouds and
pack them full of dreams, I'd
send them over the mountains,
to deliver my love by spring.

~
... to be touched, to be held, to be loved,
~
I don't see any alternatives.

...because I love.

I protest little, 

for my heart was willing. 

~

We shall witness death as 

surely as we have witnessed birth.   

~

It is a fool who believes they can own the land ,

 for we are merely soldiers in natures
undeclared war. 

~

I have held the most precious of treasures, 

for I have held your love. 

 To have never loved,

 is to have never lived.

Close your eyes, 

close your eyes, 

I am there with you,

Close your eyes my

 sweet darling allow

 only our love through.

 Close your eyes, 

close your eyes,

 and open your heart, 

I have been waiting my

 darling from the start. 

 Close your eyes, 

 close your eyes,

 I am there with you, 

 Close your eyes my

 sweet darling allow

 only our love through.

 ~

 My mind begins to race, the dreams now in command, directing me to your arms in a faraway land. This place is awfully special and wonderful indeed,with the dance of love performed in the world of make believe.

 ~

 ~

 I wake each morning and wipe the tears from my eyes, for hell is what we carry deep down inside. I prepared a smile to carry me through the day, while bridging our hearts over the rivers that distance made.

 I want to dream,

 if dreams will bring you here.

 I want to laugh,

 if it's with you the laughter is shared.

 I want to live, 

 if living means loving you.

I Wanna spend my life loving you...

I wanna roll on over and kiss you goodnight, feel your flesh next to mine till the early light. I wanna whisper words that only you can hear, words of sweet love meant only for your ears. I wanna know you love me as I love you and that you will never leave me and see it through. I wanna make you happy both day and night and dance the dance of lovers under the stars and magic of the  moonlight.
 If you ever re-watched a movie, you will see something differently than the previous time you viewed it. Sometimes it is is an action , a reaction or scene  that once overlooked. Other times the movie takes on different meanings as we mature. Obviously as a child we don't relate as we do in the years that follow. I am not thinking of any particular movie, unless you look at life as a script in motion. I thought about my emotions and how they go about protecting the heart. First there is fear, anger, hurt, sorrow,tears and then the shield is let down and and the shield of emotions mellow and are replaced with a new spin on memories. . The many emotions give us different sight at various times in our life, leading us through different paths. I feel unusually calm. Well that silly , it might be because I had my temper tantrum early this morning, paced the floor, yelled a little, " if we are we, why do I feel like and I?" Audrey spent most of day working with me. I hate to be so hard on her, but I wanted her to know as long as she can take care of herself, she will be fine.
 Like a ping pong ball being hit across the table, my mind jumped around. I was angered of the life I was born into and quickly I jumped out of that scene into today and tomorrow. I want to balance this craziness, I want to laugh and love and enjoy life and yet make this crazy company great. I wrote out the sales tax checks and worked on filling jars with various creams which I whipped up earlier in the day. With music playing, my soul escaped and my heart embraced all that I life has brought me. I looked at the time and it passed so quickly. I decided rather than push to hard, I would call it a night. I realized when we don't put ultimatums and expectations into the equation we leave no room for disappointment. I don't have a name pushing products, no special break, just hard work. My rewards have been the many people who I have met. I have had more than usual amounts of positive feedback from customers. As I watched the sun set and bring an end to the day, I rejoiced in the opportunities granted me. I thought about love and how it reflects upon my life. I thought of you and I thanked whatever directed our paths and caused our hearts to collide.

Shirley Bassey - More (Than The Greatest Love)

Blue Sky Blue

The magic of love is how it can

embrace at a distance. 

Sweet lips,

sweet dreams,

sweet love.

~

Like water to parch lips or

sunlight warm to your cheek,

the quintessential ingredient,

is in the love you give to me. 

Like rainbows across the sky,

or a tree over the stream, 

the magic of the moment, 

bridges over the river of dreams. 

~

 The possibilities are endless...

~

It is the insecure thread of our existence 

that needs to hear they are loved.... tell me more. 

Sings >Blue sky Blue and there I found you waiting, Blue sky blue and the dreams in the making. Nothing can compare to the love that we share, as we take the moment to care. Blue sky blue and there I found you waiting....

Forever and Always

I am not at all convinced of an early spring .Even though the hills have already revealed spring time growth and the first blooms of crocus already have broken free of the soil. The color of grayness of a partially dormant season is now taking on bits of varied shades of green . The sun remarkably brightens the day and yet I still feel the arms of winter in the shadows of the hollow. Is this pure trickery or just another reprieve from winter? Maybe as a person who loves to garden, I can recall snowfalls in April and frozen fruit blossoms in May.

Before I was able to fully take in the day, the sun had begun to set and the darkness reigned.   I looked off into the passing sunset and I thought of the roads we travel.  I clearly understood the path we are on and why we chose at different times opposite roads in our travels. There seem to be no proof positive answers for our particular journeys. It really had little do with timing or children, something else was a driving force in our short time on earth. I thought it might be that I just tried to read to  much into every thing that happens. There is a  dusty crystal ball that sits above my desk with several other mementos. I remember wanting so much to know what the future holds and when I look into it the only thing it reveals is images of the past. It is possible that our past experience lead us to the future.  Sometimes it adds to our character, weaving threads of caution, knots of wisdom and even a few redirected thoughts.

I know that at different times of my life, I would have handled the many situations that arise very differently. I guess circumstances as well as our own generated thought process dictates how we respond. I would have at one time ran, where I now walk, jump where I now stand, cried where I now laugh. I was looking through my jewelry box and I came across a charm bracelet that I have had since I was thirteen. My first charm was a poodle that I had gotten with the bracelet it represented prim and proper and at sixteen my outstanding student of the year charm. As I let charms slide through my fingers the few milestones from teens, to wife and mother jarred memories. From visiting Sea world with my brother and his wife, to graduation, wedding, honey moon and children. I laughed as a mere piece of metal became a marker in time. It seems kind of trivial to document a life with a bracelet. When all is said and done, would any of it have meaning or matter to anyone else? You can't help but wonder if your life makes any difference in a world that seems to be hell bent on self destruction.

Sometimes life just comes down to a simple ant hill. I don't know why I think of the human race as ants, other than that we are so minute in the scheme of things and we can so easily be squashed out.  In all reality I am not sure if our actions will spawn a more positive reaction. I am sure that if the heart and soul matter, than I have succeeded in documenting love in whatever sense in whatever format  forever love can exist. 

We cannot change that which is already written...

~

Another breath of air, a new day begun, 

grateful am I as I feel the arms of love. 

~

The words belong to eternity, 

my love to your heart. 

~

Rejoice! for in the realm where

love is the only embrace, we

have achieved the magic

of forever. 

~

The tears that fall are for

that which will never be.

~

One cannot measure love,

for it is the warmth of the sun 

and the feel of the wind against your cheek. 

~

When I leave this earth,

remember that I will never leave your heart. 

Orry

If I the cause of a fallen tear,
a lash to the heart or a scar
to the soul, then I shall join
and weep shall we of the
darkness cast and the stale
windless sea.

Gloom filled stagnant pool
of fear, created the waters
to drown us here. Cold and
rough separates the land and
yet I can still feel your hand.

Gracing mercifully this my plea,
to lift me from my fallen knee,
the chill that weakens from
inside forces me to run and hide.

Hard like crystal reflective of light,
the love and tenderness,warmth of
souls, they mystery that still unfolds.

Lay your head upon my breast, gentle
soft without life's test. Unlock the
gates of despair and let the sadness
free from here.

Joined together in flight, like the eagle
that rules the blue sky, above the winds
and the clouds high, beyond the barriers
of the mind.

One to one this bond was born and nothing
and nothing can break was God has formed.
Love filled caring, warm with truth a colorful
friendship with man a hue.
~
Wee bit frightened,
wee bit sad,
wee bit vulnerable,
and with that I laughed.

Thoughts Of You

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love can do,
from bridging the miles,
with laughter and smiles.

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love can do
replacing the dark of night,
with the first morning light.

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love can do,
like feeling your embrace,
while our souls engage.

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love can do,
like kisses in the wind
and the touch from within.

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love can do,
to calm this racing heart
while loving from a far.

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love can do,
easing my trouble mind,
leaving the dark behind.

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love can do,
like songs of the heart,
a new day we embark.

I wake to thoughts of you
and all that love and do,
placing you in my arms
and always in my heart.
~


There was hope,
I saw faith,
there were smiles,
and breathless days.


There were dreams
sweet memories,
there was you,
and there was me.

~

I took my pillow up on its invitation,
I tucked it close to my heart, I started
dreaming of you and  I my love as we
dance on the clouds, engaged heart to
heart.,

~
Run, run, run and yet my feet are still,
 I am reaching out to you and I am
still at the bottom of the hill.

Cry, cry, cry and the tears again fall,
flooding the heart with the darkness,
that comes to call.

Hide, hide, hide, I can't face another
day, another moment without the
joy that our love makes.
