Happy New Years for My Love

Your arms so gentle an embrace tight, holds me safe all through the night.  More than anything the imagination could think, for you are my love who lives within me.

You are the dreams that welcome me each night, the first thought that meets with daylight. Sunlit smiles warm my soul and make the winter void of cold. 

Your arms so gentle an embrace tight, holds me safe all through the night.  More than anything the imagination could think, for you are my love who lives within me.

The year comes to and end but nor our love, it always has away to transcend. Like the first of spring a beginning without end, you are my sunshine that only love can send. 

Your arms so gentle an embrace tight, holds me safe all through the night.  More than anything the imagination could think, for you are my love who lives within me.

Each day is a reminder that I love you with all my heart, whether you are beside me or distanced from a far. I give to you my love day after day for you are such a part of me that I hold you in my heart. 

Your arms so gentle an embrace tight, holds me safe all through the night.  More than anything the imagination could think, for you are my love who lives within me.

Some flames dwindle and turn to ash, but my love for you darling is a fire that never goes out but burns fast. Fate played a game and made us wait , but it was worth the time to see the smile on your face. 

Your arms so gentle an embrace tight, holds me safe all through the night.  More than anything the imagination could think, for you are my love who lives within me.

You're more than a mountain, wider than a sea , you're my partner,my friend in need. I'll always love you, no promise do I make, for our souls merged together and nothing will ever separate. 

You and I

Somethings never change and others things change more frequently, as my love for you it never changes and yet changes often , as it strengthens and deepens with each breath I take. 

Forever Love

When the sea ceases to flow

and the mountains a grain of sand,

when the stars fall from the sky 

and the dreams fade from the mind. 

When time is replaced by darkness

and the music of life is gone, 

we will remain like the heavens, 

forever times eternity is equal 

to you and I. 

The Love you give to me...

Underneath the winter snow lies springtime,
beneath the  frozen soil the garden grows,
if you care to look, love is what you'll see,
like the love for you that grows in me.

The winter season has spoken and sent
 to us another memory,on top of the
 mountains and down by the stream,
winter lefts it mark like you who
 gave to me a dream.

Underneath the winter snow lies springtime,
beneath the  frozen soil the garden grows,
if you care to look, love is what you'll see
like the love for you that grows in me.

Happy New Year! 2013

The irony is that we celebrate a new beginning in the middle of winter and that our real renewal comes with spring.  I find it difficult to move forward with change when feeling like a bear in hibernation. But never the less the day will come and we will celebrate the beginning of a new year. 

Usually this time finds me wanting to reflect on the past, but this year I feel more of a desire to dwell on where we are going. It's is that crystal ball syndrome, wanting to see tomorrow.  Interlocks with heart and soul , the journey yet to unfold. 

The calender controlling

documents a day, but it 

is in the heart that leads

us down the road where

tomorrow awaits. 

~

White water wishes, 

flow to the sea in 

hopes that you'll 

be waiting there 

for me. 

Prayers to the heavens,

I quickly rejoice of the

sharing of love , as 

we both made that 

choice.

Hold me forever, 

don't let me go, 

I cherish the memories

always new like the 

white fallen snow. 

Precious each day,

I cherish them so

as I am there in

your heart where

ever you go. 

Happy New Year 

I make no promise

only a plea that 

you will be with me

for eternity. 

Like a dream that 

waits to come true,

I close my eyes and

dream of me and you. 

Imagine

Imagine this bench,
it's under a tree and
the sun is shining
and there is a warm
breeze.

You're there beside me,
our lips meet with a kiss
and your arms around me
embrace with share bliss.

Imagine this bench,
it's under a tree and
the sun is shining and
there is a warm
breeze.

Our hands locked one
on one and the closer
you are the more I
feel your love.

Imagine this bench,
it's under a tree and
the sun is shining and
there is a warm
breeze.

Surreal the image,
like an artist's display,
creating forever in
a beautiful way.

Imagine this bench,
it's under a tree and
the sun is shining and
there is a warm
breeze.

Angels are calling
to make a dream
come true, casting
the lead to you.

Imagine this bench,
its under a tree and
the sun is shining and
there is a warm
breeze.

So blue the sky
and the birds sing,
in celebration of
the love you bring.

Imagine this bench,
it's under a tree and
the sun is shining
and there is a warm
breeze.

You are my sunshine [lyrics]

So Rare A Love

What makes this love so unique and rare that nothing else can compare? Common traits we will find but this love is yours and mine. Gentle brushes against my cheek and to my heart the words repeat. " The love that follows day to day and checks the seasons that come to play, reveals the treasure of the soul when friends meet and partners hold."

Majestic the view, the dance of lovers in the skies of blue, white silk flowing in the wind and the hand that pulls her close within. Look once more upon the stars and view the image of the heart. Extending from heaven to the earth, with one moment a love was birthed. 

Call it fate this love we share, perfect it shows what happens when two care.  So calm the night it soothes the soul, clearing the sky where dreams unfold. Shining stars doth bring a joy, as the angels employ. Removes the sorrow, erase the fear, only happiness is allowed here. 

What makes this love so unique and rare that nothing else can compare? Common traits we will find but this love is yours and mine. Gentle brushes against my cheek and to my heart the words repeat. " The love that follows day to day and checks the seasons that come to play, reveals the treasure of the soul when friends meet and partners hold."

Truth had spoken, love entwined as our souls merged the heart and mind. Infinite the treasure sweet bridges the miles so we may greet. No fear of blindness for I do see so precious a love that touches me. Therefore the words are spoken of a love that thou shall not be compared, for it is indeed quite rare. 

So Great A Love

Slipping On The Ice of Life

Over the last few weeks I watched the traditional holiday and winter movies and thought of all the morals to the story each teaches. When we look beyond our own needs,we  begin to see the part we play in other peoples lives. The magical network that reaches out like the entwined threads of life. I find it fascinating the distance love can travel and the barriers it can overcome.
I haven't walked to the post office in awhile. I guess I have spoiled myself since I have had my drivers license. The roads were ice and snow covered and I didn't want to chance driving up over them. As I walked it gives you much more time to think. I remember when I started writing poetry. It was this amazing escape beyond the hollow. With a thought and a few words the pen became a gateway. I could touch , feel , sense and see a world beyond my own. The first one hundred were unique in the sense that they were opening gates to territories that have yet to be discovered. But there was also a simplicity to them as they took a bit of reality and a touch of fantasy and created  a window. Several flowed as the day were written " I'm slipping on the ice of life, as I'm sliding back to you baby. Slipping on the ice of life, because I am so in love, so in love with you ."
There is the review of old chapters and the making of new ones. Unlike a winter snow globe the vision never stays the same. We can shake it up but every time we take a look, we get a different view.

Shake it on up
and take a look,
the view you'll
see is you and I.

In my heart,
you will find,
your place
with mine.



~

The Snow is Falling Down

I'm watching out the window,
as the snow is falling down,
white crystals compliment
the mountains as they blanket
the ground.

Little signs from the evergreen
to the blades of the Boston fern,
leave a few reminders how the
seasons quickly turn.

I know it is for certain that our
love is here to stay, as we met
with all the challenges that
 came our way.


I'm watching out the window,
as the snow is falling down,
white crystals compliment
the mountains as they blanket
the ground.

In your heart

Can you hear my whispers?
The words for you, whispers
of sweet of the love I give
to you.

Can you see the image
in the heavens high? It's
you and I dancing in
the clouds in the sky.
~



The ten years old runs and plays,
laughing and singing all day.
Through her eyes all is fine,
like the stars sparkling in the
sky.

The teenager giggles so,
 warm inside she could melt
the fallen snow. The Impish
grin that people see is her
holding on to memories.

The night sky rules and
the in her arms she holds,
the sweetness of your
embrace and the love
that is seen on her face.





Baking cookies all morning,
gazing out the window at
the fallen snow, dreaming
of your sweet lips and
loving you so.

Music playing on the radio,
I'm dancing to the song
we both know, the music
from the heart, has us
dancing though we are
far apart.

The lights on the tree
sparkles so, ornaments
of yesterday glow. I'm
mesmerized by what I
see, as the images appear
are of you and I.



Snow falling,
dreams calling,
my heart whispers
to you.

Snow falling,
dreams calling,
my arms open
to you.

Snow falling,
dreams calling,
to dance under
the blue.

Snow falling,
dreams calling,
to share my love
with you.


Close your eyes and you'll see,
I have always been there, never
left your side, always and forever
my love.

Open your heart and you find,
the love we share each day,
in a dream where darkness
fades away, you'll find my
love waiting for you.

Take my hand and stroll,
down by the river side,
on that bench for you
and I or in the clouds
passing by, take my hand
and stroll with me.

Close your eyes and you'll see,
I have always been there, never
left your side,always and forever
my love.

Love Me...

My wants are rather simple,
uncomplicated indeed,
sitting on the park bench,
walking under the trees and
on a cold winter day,
 ice skating hand in hand
in a vision from my dream.

My needs are necessary,
to my soul they feed and
in the dark of the night,
to you my love they lead.

Comfort to the heart,
a warmth to the day,
gentle the moment
that brought your love
my way.


With every snowflake falling from the sky,
I see the love that lives within you and I.
Hold tight my hand and don't let go,
we will make it this I surely know.

Over mountains high, reach on up to the
blue sky. I am with you day and night,
just believe and I'll be yours and you'll
be mine.


With every snowflake falling from the sky,
I see the love that lives within you and I.
Hold tight my hand and don't let go,
we will it this I surely know.

To Your Heart I Whisper

To your heart I whisper sweet words of love, in hope that you will feel me in the absence on our cloud above. The first snow had fallen and glistens on the trees and there I wait to celebrate the first of many more memories.

You're the rose that blooms in the first of June, the snow which falls on a cold winter blue. The stars shine in the night sky,  they were placed there as a guide for you and I.  Follow your heart and it will lead you to me and we celebrate like each day is the first of spring.

To your heart I whisper sweet words of love, in hope that you will  feel me in the absence on our cloud above. The first snow had fallen and glistens on  the trees and there I wait to celebrate the first of many more memories.

No tears to fall nor sadness to share, as long as you are in my heart
I'll not one day fear. Rainbows an arch that reaches across the sky as a reminder I am not far away, we broken down the barriers of place and time.

To your heart I whisper sweet words of love, in hope that you will feel me in the absence on our cloud above. The first snow had fallen and glistens on the trees and there I wait to celebrate the first of many more memories.

I was there Next To You

The stars are a little brighter,
the sky much more blue
and my dreams are so vivid
as I can clearly see you.

The days are so much longer,
the nights they drag on to,
when I find myself wishing,
I was there next to you.

I Just want to tell you

I just want to tell you ,
the words from my heart,
from the moment you
appeared and removed
all signs of the dark.

Listen close and I'll whisper
words of love, words that
speak to only you, words
of dreams come true.

I just want to tell you,
the words from my heart,
from the moment you
appeared and removed
all signs of the dark.

Sweet like gum drops,
a rainbow from the sky,
the magic of life that
touched this heart of mine.

I just want to tell you,
the words from my heart,
from the moment you
appeared and removed
all signs of the dark.

Ice castles melting in the sun,
snowflakes falling and a day
with you my love.

I just want to tell you,
the words from my heart,
from the moment you
appeared and removed
all signs of the dark.

Mountains keep the secrets,
the words through the river
flow, sending them to you my
love in a dream like spell.

I want to love you

Let's make it simple,
pleasing indeed,
I'm in your arms
and it's not a dream.

Snowflakes are falling,
crystals of white
and a new day has dawned
filled with winter delight.

I took the time to trim the tree,

the candles are all aglow but the

season is meaningless until I 

send my holiday hello.

Hello to friends and family, 

greetings I convey are filled

with Christmas wishes of

health and happiness each day.

I place the Holly above the doors,

as I dream my day away , wondering
about tomorrow and wishing you
were here today.

The season is passing and another
year we'll see as I count my
blessing and watch the rainbows
fade away.

GG's Look at later (playlist)

Love

Sow the seeds of love,

grow happiness and 

reap the rewards. 

~

brrrrrr

I think it is cold, 

a hide under the blanket day. 

We share the same heaven,
the stars yours and mine,
the clouds in passing are
a space in time.

We don't always share the
actions of the day, but we
certainty share the dreams
that love made.

We share the same heaven,
the stars yours and mine,
the clouds in passing are
a space in time.

Look out the window of
your heart and remember
who loves from morning
through dark.



Putting it all in perspective life is a puzzle in perfection. Each piece interlocks as it creates a picture in motion. The complication comes in the variations that alter the image and concept of life. Matter and physical energy displays a universal portrait capable of performing the simple task of  exploration while recording the world around us. Therefore we are consistent with matter and energy and we are the creator of our own reality, the writer of our own story.

Allow your heart to feel my
love and allow your heart to
see, as I've created a canvas for
all our thoughts and memories.

Place your hand into what
seems like nothing but air,
for I have sent you my kisses
and a few hugs to spare.

Allow your heart to feel my
love and allow your heart to
see, as I've created a canvas for
all our thoughts and memories.

The notion that a mountain can
keep your love from me, is as
foolish as the river reversing its
flow to move upstream.

Christmas Lyrics

Sings>Damn that Christmas pudding,
           I don't want any baked bread,
           I'm hungering for your love,
           from you my best friend.

           I'll skip the greeting cards,
           hell with that Christmas tree,
           the lights don't even matter,
           as you brighten the day for me.
 
         Let's celebrate both day and night,
         I'll take the cloud hanging on the right.
         We'll dance through the evening and
         all through the night and wake up
        in a kiss of delight.
     
        Damn that Christmas pudding,
        I don't want any baked bread,
       I'm hungering for your love,
       from you my best friend.

 
       

Closer

Sit a little closer and do it with a smile,
we'll dream the dreams of lovers and
dance upon the clouds.

Sit a little closer and place your hand in
mine,gaze upon the fire, while time
slips on by.

Sit a little closer and celebrate the day,
you came into my life and eased my
heart of pain.

Sit a little closer and let your soul be
free, to soar the heavens with you
next to me.

Holiday Prose

As I finished up with some household chores and laundry, I sat back to listen to some traditional holiday music. The melodic jingle reminded me of the simplicity of the holiday. No greater gift than sharing a moment. With my eyes closed I could clearly visualize you sitting next to me. Lights low, fire burning in the fireplace as we watch the flurries of snow dance with the wind. The moment brought a sense of joy and peace as the silence was broken by the music and the stillness replaced by the beating of our hearts. I smiled as my thoughts were draped in the comfort of friendship. My hand reaching for yours, to find your hand reaching in return. With one hand over the other I placed your fingers to my lips and than to my heart. At that very moment there was no past and tomorrow had no baring on the surreal like visions that brought a well being.
The world and it woes faded until they completely disappeared and all that remained was the actions fulfilled by a dream. Locked in my heart and secured for all eternity was a love that knows no end. Stronger with time it revealed all that we are and all that we can be. I gazed out the window at both a daylight moon and winter sun. The sky clearing and the clouds dissipated until all  that could be seen was the vast blue of forever. The chill of the moment ran through my body and I shook as it left me taking a deep breath and blowing it out slowly. The image secured in my mind like a cover to a holiday greeting. The charm of the visual warmed my being with an embrace of love.

~

I am happiest when I can feel your love 

in my heart and next to my soul. 

~

To love is a grand gesture, 

to receive love a noble response, 

but when all is said and done, 

to see love in the world around us, 

is the most amazing of gifts. 

~

When I say I love you, 

it is not merely words, 

it the voice of my heart. 

~

I shiver from the cold 

and warm from your love. 

~

Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes and you will see, that I'm right there beside you and in every dream. Like the stars that shine in the night, your love is the  sparkle of my life.

Close your eyes and you will see, the world as it was meant to be. From the moment you took my hand, I knew life was going according to plan.

Close your eyes and you will see, the dance on the clouds with our souls soaring free. Magical it may all seem to be, when love unites you with me.

Sings

The sky is blue,the grass still green and there is ice on the mountain
and down by the stream. Winter is approaching as the darkness dwells, but with you there is a sunshine that cast its own spell.

Silence is broken by the song in my heart, as I sing and dance with the meadow lark. Seee-ooo, seee-yeer she whistles her tune as I sing along while dancing under the blue.

The sky is blue, the grass still green and there is ice on the mountain and down by the stream. Winter is approaching as the darkness dwells, but with you there is a sunshine that cast its own spell.

Simplicity

I awoke from the chill,
in the dark of the night,
reached for my blanket,
my pillow I held tight.

I sensed your being,
I felt it so near, like
a kiss from the heavens,
your love just appeared.

~
Fallen rainbows,
inverted at sea,
to sail our love,
through each
of our dreams.

Darkness to light,
warmth to a breeze,
over the mountains,
from you to me.
~

In the night...

I could feel the heaviness
as if love was in the air,
when I reached into the
darkness, it was my
heart that you pulled
you near.

Surrounded by serenity,
peace was not to fear,
as my soul bonded
with yours to bring
about a love to share.

The night was filled with
silence, only my heart
beat could be heard and
when I listened closely
my emotion seem to
stir.

This is my forever,
I know it very well,
formed like the stars
in the heavens and
far from the gates
of hell.

The night cast in darkness
and a rainbow can still
be seen reflections of
our love and the magic
that it brings.

~

So great a love, 

it bridges the sea,

to unite our souls. 

~

Sends you a kiss 

to remind you of my love for you. 

Sends you my love....

Don't wake me up

I think I'm dreaming,
when I wake up in your arms.

I think I'm dreaming,
when I gaze up into the stars.

I think I'm dreaming,
when my lips feel your kiss.

I think I'm dreaming,
when your hand is locked in mine.

If this the dream, don't wake me up,
no pinching, no heartache, I'm dreaming
of love.

~
It is really easy to feel your love,
not in my arms but in my heart
you're the one.

Eternity spoke and the words
unveiled a life time of love
in a forever field.

Bobby Vinton - I love how you love me w/ lyrics

Good Night

Laughter and tears are synonymous,

I have laughed till I cried 

and cried till I laughed. 

There is a little more revealed with each passing day,like the treasure of love in a well orchestrated ballet.Wisdom spoke in riddles and your kindness made a play,for the road to happiness was truly never far away.



You found a place forever deep within my heart, filling the voids you gave light to the dark. I have learned on this journey what friendship truly means, as you share with me your forever love and the magic of dreams.

 I count my blessings as I renew my faith, that this journey is only starting and we are on a good pace. We have got a lot to do and even more to see, as we travel down the road recording new memories.

 ~ 

When you took my hand,

    

 I freely gave you my heart.

~

Respect and trust...no greater gift.

~

The meeting of souls,

the bonding of hearts. 

~

I wake each morning to the warmth of your love, 

as I watch in the horizon the rising of the sun. 

Your love is so refreshing and it means so much 

to me, to know that I love you and you have 

returned that love to me. 

We stood in battle and we fought the evil down, 

like a blanket of stardust we spread our love around. 

When we are together I am reminded we are one, 

joined heart to heart and bound with our special love. 

~

In the garden of love, 

we reap what we sow,

sowed love, reaped happiness. 

~

With you life is not a chapter

but a journey down forever's lane. 

~

You are not in my heart, 

as we merged one to one, 

you are my heart. 

~

The reflection reveals 

peace within your arms. 

~

Love is like a flower,

always set to display another bloom. 

~

Here the distance has no power, 

the mountains but a grain of sand,

the road was quickly shortened 

the ocean bridged on demand.

Visual the images of the love you 

give to me and wonderful the dreams, 

on this path through life you strolling,

side by side next to me.

I am reminded that love 

is never ending. 

~

Sings

I have sat and cried,
felt like I lived and
felt like I died.

I have watched the rain,
watched it fall and
watched it fade away.

I have heard the song,
heard the words,
heard the whispers of love.

I have held the dream,
held it close,
held deep inside me.

I have always believed,
always  hoped,
always wanted you.

I have sat and cried,
felt like I lived and
felt like I died.

The Gift

The classic winter cashmere scarf,
soft leather gloves or the latest art,
the gift I wrap for you is from the
heart, it contains the embers
remaining from that first spark.

It's filled with memories of loving
you and contains a dance or two.
The past and present dreams we
still hold dear and the warmth
we have yet to share.

The classic winter cashmere scarf,
soft leather gloves or the latest art,
the gift I wrap for you is from the
heart , it contains the embers
remaining from that first spark.

Tears and laughter, marble floors,
songs of love and the dollar store.
I hold each day in my heart as
we shared each one from the start.

The classic winter cashmere scarf,
soft leather gloves or the latest art,
the gift I wrap for you is from the
heart, it contains the embers
remaining from that first spark.

Pure passion, trust and faith,
wrapped with a tatted lace,
beautiful reminders of all we
have done, delicate treasures
of our most wonderful love.

The classic winter cashmere scarf,
soft leather gloves or the latest art,
the gift I wrap for you is from the
heart, it contains the embers
remaining from that first spark.

I just...

I just wanna whisper words of love to you,
tell you how much I love and make our
dreams come true.

I just wanna to know you'll be here for me,
no matter where we are going, we'll enjoy
life like the first of spring.

I just wanna hold you , while you are holding
me to, in the embrace of lovers, loving the
whole night through.

Somethings never change...

My Thoughts

Simply because we have not experienced,

does not give us proof of existence or not.

~

Each step away from love ,

is a step closer to hell.

~

Love is not a concept of man...love is merely

the seeds which are spewed from the soul.

~

Our responsibility begins with self and

overflows as an extension of love.

~

Allowing peace into your heart

allows you to understand

that the power of change

 is not a gift from another,

but the alteration of our own 

actions and 

the responsibility 

we take.

~

There are those who believe they
 are at the mercy of the powerful
for power is just a concept of thought, 
given by those who believe they have none.

~

A weak thread breaks under pressure,

therefore we should tighten the weave 

with stronger threads.

~

Attaining knowledge means very

 little unless you share it.

~

I am missing you!!!!!

From my lips to yours...

Our place upon the earth, though small and meaningless to many, contains the lessons of ones experiences within a short time. Here I rest, nurturing my soul as time unravels revealing all and nothing. I indulge in all that is, from my love for life and all that exist. Yet I find a restlessness that brings me to my knees, as I contemplate another day which becomes a first and a last.

Running far, running fast,
and my feet standing still,
reaching and reaching
beyond the Catskills.

I refrained from the tears
that I held inside, as I
felt your love embrace
like the angel divine.

This Dance

This dance is special,
wonderful indeed and
when I close my eyes
you are dancing here
with me.

The kitchen begins to fade,
and a palace takes its place
and you the king and I
your queen as we glide
in our own way.

This dance is special,
wonderful indeed and
when I close my eyes,
you are dancing here
with me.

Magical the moment,
joyous my heart,
where passion finds
a way to rid life of
the dark.

This dance is special,
wonderful indeed and
when I close my eyes,
you are dancing here
with me.

Spinning around in circles,
your body close to mind,
we dance the dance of
lovers as we dance till
the end of time.

This dance is special,
wonderful indeed and
when I close my eyes
you are dancing here
with me.

Hearts in unison,
beating as one,
to the music of the
soul and the magic
we call love.

This dance is special,
wonderful indeed and
when I close my eyes
you are dancing here
with me.

Like the clouds upon
the blue skies, the stars
that shine at night, I
right there beside you
for all of life.

On a clear day, I can...

The gift of happiness... kind memories, warm thoughts, special moments, loving you.  

 The lessons of life are like a physics class, a little difficult  at first, but when pieced together reveals a journey in succession. 

To touch a heart

and embrace a soul. 

~

Head on shoulder,

holds still the moment. 

~

Rereading the book of life, 

I would like to burn a few pages,

rather than turning them. 

~

I learned to touch the flesh is memorable, 

to touch the heart an enlightening 

experience for both 

mind and soul. 

~

I will never say goodbye,

that way I can hold you 

forever in my heart. 

~

"Location, location, location,"

said earth to the sun. 

~

To feel the rain, catch the first snowflake,

walk by your side, sleep in your arms, 

awaken in your heart. 

~

To no longer feel,

is to live in denial.

~

The swirling of souls, 

the mystery unveiled. 

~

To live on love,

is to comfort the heart

and feed the soul, 

while completing the journey.

~

If you can flood a heart with tears,

you can drain it dry with the 

warm rays of love. 

~

See forever, forever in your arms, heart and soul. 

~

We are born with it all, to nurture the love,

is to watch it grow. 

~

Some people sow negativity, 

tills deeper and reseeds 

with love.

December

It was my standing joke, that locked inside was a ten year old trying to get out. It reminded me of my daughter who at every stage or a milestone, would raise her arms into the air and say " I am a big girl now."  I have that picture of her first claim to being grown up locked in my memories. Yet she is the first to admit she misses being in kindergarten. We race to grow up, racing life away, rather than enjoying the moment.
Over the years I myself have reached many milestones and as exciting as that is , it still is a bit frightening. It must be that ten year old trying to get out. A good friend use to say " ignorance is bliss". I never quite understood that phrase completely until recently. People  , places and experiences can at times complicate the simplicity of life.
Sending my pigs out to be butchered, was kind of sad. Jokingly as I fed them, I would tell them you are going to be Christmas Dinner. But when reality comes into play and that time to send them off actually happened, my daughter burst out with," I am not eating them. "  When you think about it we are a network with the world around us. Everything leaning one upon the other, like a set of dominoes. You think about right and wrong. What is right and wrong and who sets the rules?
That which makes you happy can't possibly be wrong. I danced to the memories, smiles and wiped a tear, okay maybe a few tears. As time passed by, it all seemed like a dream and the dreams seemed surreal.  The key to it all is happiness, runs away if only through my dreams.

And I Love You So ... Helen Reddy

Winter Dreams

Snowflakes sparkle,
winter dreams,
here I sit to imagine
you with me.

Fire blazing,
music playing
and I'm there
in your arms.

Blustering winds,
hibernating in thought,
wishing and wanting
I can't stop.

Living and loving
each moment we share,
without you I'm that
winter bear.


Snowflakes sparkle,
winter dreams,
here I sit to imagine
you with me.



~
Imagine going through life without
the experience of true love...how dark a world.
~~
Dark and empty moments,
lost in days of despair,
I wonder what you are doing
and if you dream of me there.



Let's take the rain and flood the stream,
flow our dreams on out to sea.

Sail our love on the memories,
from the day you first said hello.

Let's take the sky of the heaven blue,
start with the stars to give it a different hue.

One of love and one of joy, realigned to
spell out all the love I have you.

When tears take over the silence,

they whisper your name. 

~

The dance upon the clouds is 

filled with passion,infused with desire, 

overflowing with love. 

~

I have died a thousand deaths,

just to find myself come to

 life in your arms. 

and i love you so-helen reddy

And I Love You So - Don Mclean (with lyrics)

Merry Christmas

If only one should chance to read these words 

in an embrace of the moment, may it be he 

who has found their place deep within my heart, 

held my hand, walked side by side,

soul to soul on heaven and earth.  

Christmas time has always been a very special time. Not for what many think of as a holiday, not because of the gift giving and decorations and music.  I have always believed that Christ's birth is a celebration of hope. The hope that mankind would bring peace and make the world a better place for all. Hope that those who do not have love, find love, who do not see love, be given sight and those who have never felt the warmth of love in their heart, experience the embrace. 

I can't escape my own childhood memories, the images that are so embedded within the heart and mind.  There a few more gentle memories,  department store windows with the moving decorations, caroling, snowflakes and dinner cooking, cookie baking and  yes dreaming. 

My dreams were not of specifics but of well being, whatever well being is for everyone. With the holiday music playing in the other room, the chill creeping up on me, my mind whisked me away to a place of peace. If my words should fall upon one, may they fall upon you and grant you a joyous, happy and healthy holiday season. 

Hope, 

Peace,

Serenity!

~

I find this space a place to remind myself, 

that love exist within each of us and isn't activated

until we share our love with another. 

I hope that people will look beyond the obvious and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. For the magic of love needs no gift wrap,  nor fancy bow and it is endowed upon each and everyone of us , awaiting its chance to be shared with others.

Merry Christmas! 

May I have this dance?

One Year Later

To love is to share both heart and soul...

Always on my mind, forever in my heart..SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 2012

He uttered the words pretentious at first

a humble disclosure of his love immersed.

She responded with compassion in 

a whisper so soft life a feather in the

air that slowly wafts. 

Their hearts kept on beating, slowly at first

and then faster and faster from the heavens 

to earth. The day had concluded and their 

love was revealed, it had broken the

barriers and to the God's they now kneel. 

She smiled and he laughed and they danced

with glee, as they looked to the heavens 

creating new memories. Majestic their love

that lives on a like the sea , returning to the

shore in each of their dreams. 

~

That which brings me the most amount of comfort, 

embracing the heart and soothing the soul is the 

warmth of your love. 

~

Grace those clouds above,

let's dance the whole night long,

Listen to the song of love,

knowing where we belong. 

~

Hold tight the dreams of our love,

the warmth of you and I, one to one. 

Breath taking visions silhouette in the sky,

Magnifying the love of you and I. 

~

Happiness is hearts embraced. 

~

To comfort the heart

and assure the soul,

that love is eternal. 

~

If not for the dreams,

 the mountains would succeed in their earthly barriers. 

~

The beauty of a rose is in the formation of each petal,

just like life each segment reveals an extraordinary 

glimpse of a to quick passage of time. 

~
Closure is good it allows you to write a new chapter.
~

When you balance it out, 

leans towards happiness. 

~
Trying to explain
and to myself forlorn,
as all the similarities,
differences are born.

Rare and unique,
a chapter now lay,
where pages of laughter,
sorrow comes into play.

~
I glanced out the window
and to my heart such glee,
as the snowflakes were falling,
I drifted off into yesterdays memories.

Roads that seem to circle,
paths through mountains high
and the thorns of life that wake
the heart and make it cry.
~

Ultra Blue

Two hearts that beat as one,
a story true of our sweet love,
interlocked with forevermore,
our souls embrace like never
before.

That which whispers out to you,
begs to dance under skies blue,
invitation by the souls request,
to feel the warmth of our caress.

~
Only words of love fall from my lips, begging for your touch and sweetness of your kiss. The nights and days are one, dark and black beckon for sweet love, to light the way and bring joy to the day. I hold to the memories, to erase the dreary gray and cast star dust in our way.
~

I whispered in silence,
no tears would fall,
the dark has no power,
we have challenged it all.

Removed the barriers ,
bridged it all with life,
to break down the distance
and hold you threw the night.

I whispered in silence,
no tears would fall,
the dark has no power,
we have challenged it all.

Succeeding to rise above,
and passionately embrace
with the power of love.


I whispered in silence,
no tears would fall,
the dark has no power,
we have challenged it all.



~
I met many souls on this road of life,
few understood how to make it right.
They had no concept of living the dream
and I felt lost till there was you and me.

You listen closely and without saying a
word, bring comfort and peace like a
robin nested in a fir.

Intense this feeling and a bit extreme,
soothes my spirit leaving behind a dream.
When I'm feeling lonely, I close my eyes
and there I find you waiting by my side.


I met many souls on this road of life,
few understood how to make it right.
They had no concept of living the dream
and I felt lost till there was you and me.

As Long as We are Together

We at times have a tendency to allow the negativity to overshadow the positive. My memories of childhood are like a collage of both good and bad. Though it seems as if the there is a meeting of the mind when the emotions collide, I grasp to hold on to the positive.
When I was ill as a child, my father would sing a lullaby. I found that music was one of the few memories that was indeed enjoyable to review.
As I have matured, music still plays an important part in my life. It documents a moment an experience and can be both warm and comforting. I wanted to create lyrics that would bridge our worlds. Here is my attempt at escaping the darkness that surrounds me.


I'll rearrange the stars
to bridge your cloud to mine,
as long as we are together 
everything will be just fine. 

The snowflakes a crystal, 
like diamonds from the sky,
your heart the jewel that 
reached on out to mine. 

Let the angels sing our 
song, from the heavens
we will hear, the music
doesn't matter as long 
as you are in my arms. 

I'll rearrange the stars, 
to bridge your cloud to mine, 
as long as we are together
everything will be just fine. 

The dreams a catalyst 
that always keeps you near, 
until I awake to hear your
voice and once again 
each day share. 

Sunshine kisses to thrill 
the day long and the 
eternal embrace that
dances to our song. 

 I'll rearrange the stars, 
to bridge your cloud to mine, 
as long as we are together
everything will be just fine. 

I closed the door on 
yesterday's despair and
opened it to allow you in 
like a breath of fresh air. 

You are my morning hello, 
my sweet good night, 
my friend, my partner, 
the love of my life. 

 I'll rearrange the stars, 
to bridge your cloud to mine, 
as long as we are together
everything will be just fine. 


~
The tears fall like rain upon the night,
flooding the soul and giving way to the heart.

My Love

 I believe the stars are not at a distance and the earth is a segment in the truth of the galaxy. Therefore there are no barriers of time nor space and love holds us as close as each beat of the heart.

When I look into your eyes,
the light reveals its gift to me,
I see your love and it reaches
out to me.

I know where I belong, like
a well written song, in your
arms for all time, the words
I repeat.

When I look into your eyes,
the image cast both you and I,
embraces as lovers are , you
stand their entwined with me.

Dreams bring you near as
we have the night to share,
I fear that I'll not wake,
so I may remain in you arms.

When I look into your eyes,
I know that I am yours and
you are mine. The visual
know not time as we rule
eternity.

~

  Fingers to your lips,
  heart speaks to soul,
  the journey we travel,
  reveals the inside.

 Fingers to your lips,
 heart speaks to soul,
 hold close our love,
 it warms the cold.

~

la la la la from my heart to you

To empower another 

 is to deny ones own strength. 

~

It was a song,  letter, compliment 

and a memory,it was knowing that 

I hold your love close in my heart. 

~

I cried for all that wouldn't be,

the sorrow kept a hold on me,

until I awoke and found you

were always here with me. 

Ice hanging from the mountain,

snow glazed like a lace doily, 

winds that seem to speak of 

a wild and winter filled journey.  

~

I pushed aside the darkness, 

I set my soul once more free,

the pains that I endured were

erased by the love you give to me. 

The drapes were opened and there 

I saw the joy of life when you are 

with me. I knew that I was not alone

has your hand is hand in hand with me. 

La la la la from my heart the song of love,

La la la la when I awake to find you there 

with me. 

La la la la said the angel, la la la la from my 

soul , la la la la we will do it, we will sail the 

seven seas. 

The drapes were opened and the gift I now 

could see, clearer than anyone could imagine,

is the love, the love that last for all eternity. 

La la la la , from my heart to you, la la la la 

my angel from my heart to you. 

The Living Snow Globe

Snowflakes, snowflakes, falling down, in my heart they stick around. Memories of a day with you and a heart that reaches out through the blue. Skies are dark and gray but in my heart your sunshine remains. 

Snowflakes, snowflakes, falling down, in my heart they stick around. Shivers the soul at each thought of you and quickly it renders us in the heavens blue. Dance my love, let me dance my life with you, on the clouds where I wait for you. 

Snowflakes, snowflakes, falling down, in my heart they stick around. Each to tell a story before they disappear, until the sun breaks out and melts them on Earths floor. 

Snowflakes, snowflakes, falling down, in my heart they stick around. Snowflakes, snowflakes, falling down, in my heart they stick around. 

I saw it in a snowflake, 

the crystals of life, 

sparkle and glistening,

it made my life feel right. 

Melting with each moment,

like my heart melts wit you, 

to challenge the dreams and

make them all come true. 

I saw it in a snowflake,

the crystals of life,

sparkle and glistening,

it made my life feel right. 

I am not sure what I found most fascinating, the sugar eggs with a village inside at Easter time or the little train hidden in the snow globe at Christmas. As I glanced out the window, the snow flurries were falling down. For a moment I was sure that I was part of this really large snow globe and I felt as if were were dancing in the snow. 

Blowing those snowflakes 

all around, whispers of 

winter falling down. 

~

Follow your heart,

into my awaiting arms,

where we dance together

under the light of the stars.

Join me in the celebration of

the night where we elaborate

on what is good in our life

Follow your heart, 

into my awaiting arms,

where we dance together

under the light of the stars. 

There is the comfort in 

knowing you are here for

me and the realization that

it''s love and not a silly dream. 

Follow your heart,

into my awaiting arms,

where we dance together

under the light of the stars. 

~

No one can take away the love I have for you, more than special it makes the sky and awesome blue. I am there with you, in your arms, in your heart, in your dreams, in your life. For we are the energy, that fuels the fire, igniting the love that from the heavens showers. 

The story that has not been written, the tale of loves two, that lived for each other in a dream that waits to come true. Removing mountains, bridging the sea, challenging the moment to rescue me. 

No one can take away the love I have for you, in its eternal form and bows and without adieu . Stars from the heavens, the moon shining bright and the world more beautiful when I hold you tight.
