Scattered Thoughts

Soft songs in the night I sing
and you're there with me as
my heart skips a beat beneath
the heavens blue.

The clouds are yours and mine,
where we dance day and night
holding on tight, the clouds are
yours and mine.

Soft songs in the night I sing
and you're there with me as
my heart skips a beat beneath
the heavens blue.

Love masters the universe with out 

duplicating its print upon the heart. 

I take my dreams seriously,
they place me next to you
and there I feel your arms
the embrace of love true.

There is no questioning the
heart and soul, for on this
road we travel it's once
around that we will stroll.

~
My heart speaks each night
to me, " when you have love
you have everything"

My soul upon the early morn,
feels a tug and my spirit torn.
When I listen to the wind, it
rattles me from within.

My dreams cast you in my
arms, in heart beneath the
stars.

My heart speaks each night
to me" when you have love
you have everything"

My thoughts scramble for justice.

Melancholy moments 

without a drop of rain.

There is no reason for the darkness

except for the void. 

Your Heart

I believe in destiny, a course of events that lead us through the trials of experience on a lesson filled journey. As I look back over the years it is obvious that we are all under the same umbrella of emotions, our differences lay in how we explore, comprehend and ultimately digest the chapters of life.
It is not that I have forgotten the past, internally within my soul the building blocks for character are formed and set in motion. Yet as I write, the chapters seem like a book aged with the lettering faded. There is a sense of strength and I feel a little more engaged with the present.

The love in your heart,
the warmth of your smile,
ignites the flames that
sets my soul on fire.

The moon lit sky and
the stars that shine,
in the dreams of love
with you and I.

~
My heart is whispering,
the words so sweet,
a reminder of love and
what you mean to me.

Singing in the night,
dancing on the clouds,
your hand in mine as
we embrace the time.

 ~
Sings>Place your fingers to your lips,
trace the love I give to you,
early in the morning and in the
night when you're dreaming too.

Remember just what you mean to
me, for life would be so lonely
without you next to me.

You're my sunshine in the winter
and my snowflakes in spring, the
breeze in summer when I can
hardly breathe.

~

Choice redirects, 

but inevitably the destination remains the same. 

~

I am at peace...

~

Surrounded by wingless angels...

~

Somethings you never forget...
I saw you in the darkness and I began to fear,
that I would open up my eyes and you would disappear,
something about the evening, something in the air, 

as I felt your fingers running through my hair.
I quivered from the gesture, I gasped at the thought,
that your presence was all that I had sought. I wanted
 you so badly, I wanted you care, I wanted you to hold
me that I dreamt you here.

~

Indulging in a daydream, 

my thought were of you,

your smile is what I saw

and the heavens blue. 

The visions were quite 

the reverie as I felt an

awakening of the love

within me.

~

Just to hold you tight, 

to kiss you both morning 

and night. 

Just to whisper words of 

love and hear, sweet 

caresses my special one. 

~

I can't sleep...missing you. 

I can

I can see the ocean,
powerful as can be,
the waves rolling and
the sand beneath
my feet.

I can feel the sunshine,
when you are next to me,
your smile is magic and
it brings me to my knees.

I can taste your lips of
honey sweet as I stare
into your eyes and create
a memory.

I can dream the dreams
that make you mine,
place you in my arms
and in my heart for all time.
~

The silhouette quite haunting,
the images I see cast us on
the shores for all eternity.

Gentle the embrace which
holds you here with me, like
a summer day that is never
ending.

The wind took the moment
and danced it through the air,
dress of white silk flowing
and a kiss that only lovers
share.
~

Faster and faster and faster

The days are passing quickly,
the darkness seems to dwell,
summer is no longer laughing,
as Autumn spins a spell.

Crickets in the distance,
empty nest now lay, as
I gaze on out the window
and celebrate another day.

~

Sometimes a reader will pull up a writing out of archive and sometimes I can't even recognize my own emotions. How distant we become to that time period. Life is like chapters in a book, sometimes it is difficult and so sad to turn the page. I have been so busy that I hadn't taken time to breathe or as they say "stop and smell the roses. " It has been and interesting season. When I lay at night in the darkness, I still hold back tears. I spend the day with laughter to replace the shroud of negativity that surrounded most of my years on this earth. I can only describe it as I have many times like a child's top spinning. If you stop spinning you lose momentum and gather a dust of memories.

Around and around and around I go,
spinning in circles so that no one knows,
standing straight and standing tall as if
I'd stop I would surely fall.

Here I am on this plateau, with the
reminders of rainbow snow. Behind
my eyes the colors I see are red,
black, yellow and green.

Around and around and around I go,
spinning in circles so that no one knows,
standing straight and standing tall as if
I'd stop, I would surely fall.

Some are distance, some so close,
but with you they are like a misty
rose, blue skies, star light, dreams
so fine, when I am in your arms
and you're in mine.

~
The stars in passing,
the dreams that make
you mine, the road to
happiness is your hand
locked in mine.

Days of laughter,
loneliness and despair,
heartache filled memories,
from one who asked to share.

~
I flipped through the pages
and I stopped on a chapter
or two. I wondered what
it all meant and if you loved
me true.

My thoughts lingered, my
heart drifting away to the
very moment when you
first came my way.

I flipped through the pages
and I stopped on a chapter
or two. I wondered what
it all meant if you loved
me true.
~

Who am I? Who are you? 

Two lost souls beneath the

 sky so blue. 

Hold my hand,
hold it tighter,
don't you let
it go.

Hold my hand,
hold it tighter,
keep me close.

Eminent Domain - Destruction of the "American Dream"

What I have learned

I have never regretted the experience, nothing compares to loving and being loved. Some friendships are fleeting others are the anchors of life.
~
 I've come to see the blue of the sky and the longer you look the bluer it is. Some negativity in life makes the positive in life that much more rewarding.

 ~
 I have come to understand the depth of love, caring is compassion and compassion is a way of letting a person know they are worthy of such empathy.

 ~
 What we need in life is not always what we want, that greed is to love, like an ax to a tree. I've learned that mistakes hurt, but not forgiving hurts longer. The more we experience, the higher the risk.

~
 " Be careful what you wish for" there are more than two sides to a situation, it depends where you are sitting and how it looks from that view.
 ~
 The eyes are indeed " the window to the soul" The deeper you look the more obvious that the reflection of light is not the cause of sparkling eyes,as energy reveals the inner soul in the most intriguing of ways.

 ~
 I have learned to have faith, not in what we see, but in all that we don't see. Though it maybe difficult, there are many lessons along the way.

 ~
 I know that all dreams don't come true, but if you work at it long enough you can get pretty close. Close is sometimes good enough.  I have seen many a window in the mountains and through each a view of all the possibilities that await us.

 ~
 Believing is not a game for fools, when you believe you are willing to see a positive difference in the world little by little.

~
 When we were taught " can't means won't" we were to young to understand and when we are old enough to get it, we are to tired.

 ~
 I have learned there are many ways to hold a hand , but only one way to hold the heart. You can't expect people to get it, if you don't get it yourself.

 ~
 That everyone has a journey to complete, some exit quickly others have more bumps in the road and mountains to climb.

 ~
 Forgiving is not forgetting, but to forgive allows healing and not forgetting prevents mistakes from becoming repetition.

 ~
There is a good bit to learn in life and if you go with your gut, you rarely fail.  I've learned that the old adages we heard as a kid are true" a leopard indeed never changes his spots."

~
 Not everyone thinks the same, that doesn't mean I am wrong and they are right , it means that variation is indeed a rainbow of color.

 ~
 I have come to understand the importance of trust, earned and kept it becomes the foundation of all relationships, if destroyed nothing will remain to build upon.

 ~
 I have come to understand the power of emotions, to keep them in check is empowering.   Passion is like oxygen to a fire, but when the fire goes out it is love that is necessary to keep warm the heart.

 ~
 Most importantly I have learned that fate opens many a door, but like the old saying " to jump when the pan is hot" we have the final say.

I

I can't forget the look in your eye, the way your heart touched mine, the smile so sweet, your embrace of me, the way you love me so. I can't forget how much you mean to me, you're my morning and night and every dream. The way you made me love you. I can't forget your flesh to mine, a moment that last throughout all of time. The way the stars shined so bright and how you danced beneath the moonlight.

When the rivers run dry and the moon disappears from the night, I'll still love you my darling and you'll still be mine. ~

I'd rather spend my day with you,

I love the Oak Tree

Worth the reminder...I never quite heard the clock tick as loudly as today, the hands moving quickly as if time was slipping away. I raced into the garden to embrace the memories of old and found the flowers fading as another season takes a hold. I looked to the willow, I looked to the oak and then I looked to myself to see past the heavy clouds of smoke." Listen said the Willow" down in the valley deep "all you need to do is in yourself believe." Tall was the Oak reaching to the sky and softly spoken I listened to his reply, " Don't stumble up the mountain, don't slide down valleys deep, the leaves they fall with the season but my roots are mighty deep."

That's All (Frank Sinatra - with Lyrics)

Bobby Darin-More

More than the greatest love the world has known... It is so very quiet this morning. My mind is a drift, from days long gone to today. It is not like I am saying anything that hasn't already been said "life is short."

The fragrance sweet of roses,
the sun warm against my cheek,
the memories created and your
love that holds me as I sleep.

The magic in knowing how much
you mean to me, is cast down
from the heavens to touch me
through my dreams.

Stars in the night, dew in
the morn, a celebration of
life and with you who I
adore.

The fragrance sweet of roses,
the sun warm against my cheek,
the memories created and your
love that holds me as I sleep.

Sweet kisses My Darling, Sweet Kisses Good Night

The sky is so blue as blue as can be,
it's painted across heavens with a little
of all that dreams can bring.

I gazed upward unto
the clouds to find,

the love of my life with
whom each day is shared.


Early in the morning or late at night,
all I need to do is close my eyes and
there in the darkness a smile can be
seen, from my heart to your a reflection
of all your love brings.

I gazed upward unto
the clouds to find the

love of my life with
whom each day is
shared.


Rainbows in passing, a sun setting behind
the trees and a day filled with laughter
and a heart that sings.


I gazed upward unto
the clouds to find the

love of my life with
whom each day is
shared.


Waiting there to hold me with an
embrace of life, you made the
sun feel warmer and you blanketed
the night.



I gazed upward unto
the clouds to find, the

love of my life with
whom each day is
shared.


I could search the world over,
every corner from here to there,
but I 'd never find a better friend
with whom my life I'd share.

I gazed upward unto
the clouds to find, the
love of my life , with
whom each day is
shared.

No one can replace what you
mean to me, you're a daisy in
the field, you're my sweetest
memories.


I gazed upward unto
 the clouds to find,
the love of my life,
with whom each day
is shared.

When life was awfully lonely,
I looked to you and you took my
sky and you made it so very blue.


When life was awfully lonely,
I looked to you and you took my
sky and you made it so very blue.

When life was awfully lonely,
I looked to you and you took my
sky and you made it so very blue.













It is like walking in the rain,
lying on the hills of green.
Listening to the birds sing
and enjoying all life brings.

Hands tightly held together,
two hearts merged into one,
in the stroll through life
as if we are forever young.

Laughter in the air,
smiles every where,
in the dreams of life
that we both share.


It is like walking in the rain,
lying on the hills of green.
Listening to the birds sing
and enjoying all life brings.

Sings> Sweet kisses my darling,
sweet kisses good night, in each
kiss is passion infused with the
dreams of life taken from the blue.

Sweet kisses my darling,
sweet kisses good night,
in each kiss is my love
like the stars of night.

Sweet kisses my darling,
sweet kisses good night,
close you eyes and open
your heart, I have been
there waiting from the
start.

Scorching Temperatures

It wasn't that long ago we were in the middle of winter and we could have used a little sunshine and now we are in the middle of summer and we could use a snowflake. Early Spring is my favorite it gives us a happy medium, a little rain, sunshine, sometimes warm, sometimes cool and you never know from day to day which one you'll get.
I have plenty to do today, but I find myself lying in bed gazing out the window at a hot and hazy summer day. I have been working on a project for charity in October and the topic has me spanning the years and reviewing memories both good and bad. I like the good ones, they make you laugh , smile and bring with them a warm feeling. So I thought today before I go about getting some work done, I'd write the memories that brought me some of the greatest amounts of joy.

Our big back yard got bigger,
the gate opened wide, a world
of life was waiting and a lot
caught me by surprise.


The child loved running, chasing
grasshoppers and butterflies,
watching the boats down by
the river and ducks by the
shore side.


Some days seemed to pass quickly
and others were awfully slow and
I can remember gazing out the
window from early spring till winter
snow.


Sledding down the hill, building
igloos in the backyard, with
freezing fingers and snow wet
toes, the winter was so adored.


Each season brought some joy,
and the sadness disappeared as
I held each memory of the
good times and erased the ones
with fear.


There were many struggles
and days I loathe to retain,
some where I cried, a few
I broke down and screamed.


Life has a way to balance
out all things and If you give
it a chance you'll see there
 is another side to view.


There were moments filled
with laughter, happiness and
glee and as I indulge in the
memories, I am pleasured
by all it brings.


Some are like a rainbow,
fleeting and quick disappear
and others like the moon 
you can depend that it will
always be there.


I learned a lot in passing, 
that some touch the heart 
for a day, but I love you my 
darling because you are in
my heart to stay. 


~


Hot summer days,
no clouds in the sky
and I lay here dreaming
you here by my side.


Wiping silly tears, 
remembering all 
that we shared, 
and grateful for
all we do. 


Home summer days, 
no clouds in the sky 
and I lay here dreaming
you by my side. 


One kiss to the lips, 
magic feels days of bliss,
and a day with you I 
couldn't miss. 


Hot summer days,
no clouds in the sky 
and I lay here dreaming 
you by my side. 
~


My heart met with soul 
and spoke quite loudly,
the words of love is what 
they whispered sweet. 


My mind tried to grasp
all that life brings and I
fell into the moment you
first appeared to me.


Heaven and earth came
together to celebrate the
day and document a love
that will forever remain. 
~

When time ends and I 
say goodbye, remember
dear the love of you and I.


In the clouds that pass on 
by in the heavens blue
our love will reside. 

~

Just to hold you in my arms each night,
to snuggle close and love you till morning
light.

Just to wake to your kiss and know that our
love is not a moment of fleeting bliss, you
are mine and I am yours forever to adore.

Just to say the words" I love you" and dance
underneath skies blue, would make my dreams
come true.

Just to hold you in my arms each night,
to snuggle lose and love you till morning
light.

~
When the sun rises
and I awake,my heart
for you beats at an
abnormal pace.

My thoughts take
control and your love
takes a hold

There in the moment
I drift on off to you
and remember our
love is warm and rue.

When the sun rises and
I awake, my heart for
you beats in an erratic
state.
~

There are no bad dancers,

only bad partners. 

~

Knowing when to lead

is as important as knowing when to follow.

~

Starry nights remind me of 

how close and how far away

we are from each other. 

~

If I could be remembered for one thing,

it would be that I did indeed love 

and was love in returned. 

Promises of the Heart

Once I saw the beauty of a rose, 
the fragrance faded, the petals 
fell and the stem shriveled.


Then I saw the beauty of your love,
forever sweet, always growing, 
and providing the most beautiful
of blooms. 




I wasn't expecting, 

nor did I hope to 

find a love so 

warm and wonderful, 

one so truly divine. 

I asked the Lord for 

nothing, I left with him

no prayer, but it was 

obvious that the Lord

sent someone to care.

I didn't wish upon a star,
nor did I make a plea,
but it was obvious  by that
first hello how much
you'd mean to me. 

 I asked the Lord for 

nothing, I left with him

no prayer, but it was 

obvious that the Lord

sent someone to care.

Everyday a tear falls 

and you wipe each one 

a way and give to me the 

laughter that in my 

heart stays. 

~

Forever will there be a place
 here within my heart, from
the day you took my hand
 you ignited it with a spark. 


Like fire that blazes uncontrollably your love 
spread from heart to soul and so I leave this
promise not to break this magic hold. 


Windows will open,doors may someday close,
 but for you the door remains unlocked and in
my heart you go.


From my heart a promise that the galaxy
we'll rule and we'll live on forever beyond
this earthly hold. 

I gazed unto the heavens,

I looked beyond the stars

and in the dark of night,

I felt your love take a hold.

 

Like a child I feared the darkness,
I asked that I never be alone and
the heavens lit the darkness  and
your love assured me with it's
embrace, that no matter the distance
of time and place, with love in our
hearts the barriers will fade.

Sometimes I see the end,

but you always give to me a beginning. 

With the reassurance of your love,
there are no mountains, no rivers,
no stars between us. 

My heart sings, 

my soul dances 

and my love for 

you entwines you 
and I in a forever
 embrace.
