You wrote the song in my heart

Sings>You wrote the song in my heart,
          sang it from the start and made
          me fall in love with you. Courted
          with your smile, held me for
          awhile, making all my dreams
          come true.

        Yeah , yeah, you wrote the song
        in my heart, sang it from the
        start and made me fall in love
        with you. Took my hand,
        and sent me in a spin and
        there we danced under
        the blue.

       You wrote the song in my heart,
       sang it from the start and made  
      me fall in love with you and made
      made me fall in love with you.





... all that I need.

I have always hated driving over the old two lane bridge leading to Uniontown. It's one of those bridges with no room for error. Today going and coming I felt a comfort zone driving. One I had not experienced before today. It could be I was conditioned to the route or that  the road experience finally gave me a certain amount of confidence. But it seems that confidence in all parts of life initiate a strong well being.
While driving down the road, you have no time but to think. The air warm and blowing ever so slightly through the car window found my mind traveling. Sometimes it was a song, a place or a cloud. It was like bouncing from one period of time to the next.

I made choices,
I chose the road,
traveling where
few dare to go.

I felt the love,
deep in my heart
and I know you
were with me from
the start.

I made choices,
I chose the road,
traveling where
few dare to go.

Took to the heavens,
danced on clouds,
held your hand
and watched you smile

I made choices,
I chose the road,
traveling where
few dare to go.

Over mountains,
rivers and seas,
as long as you
are with me I
have all that
I need.

...chases away the dark.


I saved you a seat here by my side,
where we can watch the early sunrise.
Nothing matters that is true as long
I know that you love me too.

I saved you a place here in my heart,
from the moment you gave it that spark.
Igniting passion and desire, it now flames
uncontrollably like a wild blazing fire.



~
Real and tangible is the love that you give. 


Rain or sunshine this has to be the most beautiful of seasons. The trees are dressed to perfection in the richest of green colors. The flowers race to bloom and each week provides us with a fine display that is both enticing with its floral fragrance as it is with its wide variety of color.
~

This rainbow is special,
it bridges you and I , 
each color formed arches
 perfectly across the sky. 

I can see the sunshine,
the warmth of your heart,
I can view the blue sky,
it's where life gets a start. 
~

I took the memories, 
those that made me smile,
and saved them for rainy days,
stored in my life's files. 

Some were simple, 
people wouldn't understand,
that those I hold dearest 
are like a grain of sand. 

The kite soaring above the lake,
sitting on a rock watching the waves.
Singing and laughing, sharing life with
you, I saved them all in my heart, 
the days when the sky was blue. 


~
I woke up in Carolina,
laying on that gravely sand,
gazing at the night sky and
wondering where I fit in
God's great plan.

Time had passed,
and heartache made its
way and once more I
wondered if my choices
paved the way.

Today looks very different
that is true, for I have learned
the differences of love true.
Holding hands, sharing hearts
and a kiss of magic that chases
away the dark.

The Canvas of My Dreams

I am painting a picture and the sky is blue,
the mountain's surrounded by fog and the dew.
The river is wide, deep and still as the water
slowly cascades through the thicket of the
hills and the dale.

The hawk visits both morning and night and
soaring over the trees is powerful in flight.
Chickens are scurrying about the yard as
the ducks take to the water to remain safer
from shore.

The hues are deeper, the visual serene as
I gaze into the garden of dreams. Roses
are blooming in red, yellow and a variety
of pink ,a performance of blooms done
in sync.

Placed on the grass a blanket in checks of
blue, where you sit and I lay my head on
your lap and stare up at you. Your eyes
bright and a story they tell, how our love
 so wonderfully deep in the heart dwells.

I reached for your hand, you reached for
my heart. I laughed and I cried from the
very start.  I saw and end you saw a
beginning as you sent me a buoy and I
began swimming.

I added a bench, you added your soul,
and we strolled through the seasons,
from the warmth of the summer and
the brisk winds and winters of bold.

 I doubted, you believed a scenery we
made, where lovers danced on the puffy
white clouds of the day. The angels were
singing, the birds were in flight and our
hearts were released free that night.

I am painting a picture and the sky is blue
and the colors are more vivid as I share
my love for you. Shades of pink, mauve
and white reflect of our love as we
celebrate tonight.

~

In the canvas of my dreams, 
I always see you and I , 
sometimes I am lying in your 
arms and sometimes you are 
in mine. 


There is never any heartache, 
no tears for you and I , no matter
where the road takes us, we'll have
our love to get us by. 








Empowering

There was so much positive energy transferred between the people and myself yesterday. I was hectic busy and yet the words of gratitude, ego stroking and warmth of kindness did not fall upon deaf ears. You would think after traveling and meeting people it wouldn't have such an affect on my soul. But to this day the energy and the faces of the many people I have met have impacted my life on a major scale.
It was empowering for I had achieved a level of respect in various communities and that had lightened the heaviness I carry in my heart. As I drove down the road today, I felt like a bird soaring. There was indeed a sense of freedom. Times like those moments when customers grab me and hold me and tell me" don't stop what you are doing you are wonderful" that I have come to terms with that they are not just impacting my life I am leaving footprints at their door as well. It is this interacting with people, the acknowledgement  that makes it all very much so worth wild. There were many people who waited in line to talk with me and the purchasing part wasn't bad. All that assured me of myself worth.
The following day I felt on a bit of high as if my soul said" yes Rachel you are on the right track" I didn't look back and I wallowing in the present, I was creating a new path to the future.  My shop away from home looked lovely. I was sorry I didn't take my camera. I was so busy that I had no time to look at the other vendors. I had made my mark on the world. I had risen above the negativity to reach a realm that I never even dreamed of.
Today I reached that point where I didn't feel like I was constantly catching up. When I thought about it, it takes the first half of the year to make the second half profitable. Whewwww but I am doing it. Despite the eminent domain issues and the personal ones that occasionally continue to haunt.
When I look out my bedroom window, I can see that the air is so still. Not even the slightest breeze and kind of an eeriness to the day, as rain might be on its way.
I played an old Cd that I had made years back, each song brought fourth memories. I didn't know what to think. But right and wrong didn't figure into the picture. I just saw stepping stones, that is what it was and is, stepping stones. I still don't comprehend it all and it's only after a situation meshes with one of the moment that I see how it all relates. Then it all makes sense you understand more the lessons of life and the steps that lead you further. I was at one point wanting to hold still time and that was the error of my way. Growth, change and moving on all was necessary.
As I expanded on products that I never intended to encompass, I felt again comfortable, empowered. I guess that is the main reason I didn't drop the boutique from Autumn. I wanted to have that diversity, because I am not a person that is pigeon holed into one item or topic. I love life and all that is capable of bringing to us. It  reminds when people would see the various gardens in bloom . They would quickly say" oh you have so many beautiful gardens" It may look like different gardens but to me, It is one garden. Life personally and professionally are an extension of who we are. Like a bouquet of flowers, I like to think of this life a bouquet of many colors.

Love




So many hills and mountains high,
so many miles between you and I.
The rivers current moving slow,
with a message of love to you it
will flow.

I watched as the sun began to set
and again as the moon looked on
at the west. The stars  both near
and far bridge our love via the
heart.


My dreams are many, my story
not new, as I fell in love my
darling with you. You took my
hand and held close my heart
removing the barriers that
keep us apart.

~

Sings >It's another day of rain,
with each fallen drop
a memory came.

I smiled and giggled as
I thought of you and
all that love can do.

It's another day of rain,
with each fallen drop
a memory came.

I left the cold and dark
behind, only letting in
the warm sun shine.

It's another day of rain,
with each fallen drop
a memory came.

My eyes twinkled and
my feet began danced,
as I thought about our
cloud dance.

I'ts another day of rain,
with each fallen drop
a memory came.

It's Summer

We don't need a calendar to tell us what the weather already has. It is summer! Short of complaining , I will say it is really hot today. The temperatures hit about 92 degrees and the humidity was like a sauna. When most people will be going to the beach or having an outdoor barbecue, I will be working Memorial Day. Ah! but what better way to celebrate Memorial day than attending the 148 th ceremonial of remembrance in the birthplace of Memorial Day in Boalsburg, Pa. In 1864 three towns women decorated the graves of fallen soldiers thus creating a day where we give honor to those who have given their lives in the battle for freedom.


To wake up in the morning and close your eyes at
night, thankful for each day and the comforts of life.

Someone stood to battle, many fallen and maimed ,
they gave their lives to protect what we take
for granted day after day.

~
Having two sons who served in the military you are quickly reminded that it's not as easy as alive or death. Many of our soldiers come home physically or mentally impaired. These are the men and women who are put through rigorous test and surfaced scared. It's not about giving but acknowledging and opening the windows in the mountains. Opportunity keeps busy the mind. But I believe more thanks needs to go out not just for those died but for those who are still serving in our country.

black clouds on a sunny day


When you feel the true magic of love
it's difficult to settle for less. 
~
If each moment of life is a gift,
why does it sometimes hurt?
~
I think it is important to have do nothing days, 
and more important who you share
 those do nothing days with. 
~
They say " there is two sides to every story"
every time a story is read there is another 
side, that's call interpretation. 
~
I live in two state's of consciousness,one where
 I see life as it should be and one where I am drowning in reality. 
~
That which pierces the heart
is a dagger that comes 
in many shapes 
and sizes. 
~


I once heard girls who giggle 
are passionate lovers...tee hee.

~
If there is no goal 
we fade into the darkness. 
~

You can not build upon a lie, 
it is weak in structure 
and gives out easily.
~

I don't know if I can continue
or if I should. 









My ducks hatched babies... smiles. 

~

The hills asleep in silence waiting on the sun to rise and not even a song bird is awake to sing of blue skies. So quiet the moment and precious the dreams, as I sit here gazing off into space and wishing you by my side. To breathe the same air, to share all that we do, to feel your hand in mine and see this life through. 
~

Bull frogs are 
jumping in the stream, 
blue birds sing.
happy are we. 

Dogs are sleeping
 on a hot summer day, 
as we go strolling on by. 

~
...to wake up in your arms 
and kiss you good night.

Reaches for Your Hand

I think I needed yesterday off. The weather was beautiful and I really didn't feel like doing anything. I reviewed the past and explored the present. I came to the realization that a lie creates disappointment and the truth no matter how it hurts expands on the claim to what is.
In many ways I feel stunted even with so much growth. I see all the gifts that reveal them self on this magical journey. In the short of it I said my hello's and my good byes. When all said and done it's not about our achievements or what we have gained, but more about the lives we come in contact with and the differences they make in our life as well as the differences we make in theirs. 
Life is like a Monday through Sunday on a lot larger scale. Today I feel like I am at the Wednesday of life, a little tired, still more energy to go and a lot more to see and do. I know that today will never be like yesterday and tomorrow will never be like today. It is filled with new beginnings and yes and ending. The roads we travel have graced us with many lessons, these are the trials and triumphs. It is not that I am much wiser, but a little more cautious. I have had my share of stumbling and falling and dusting myself off to get back up. Wednesday of life is like being at the top of the hill and getting ready to make your way over it. 
Sometimes I found that I wanted to believe the paradise and fantasy so much so that I kept a blind eye to reality. Keeping it all in perspective I have come to appreciate as I create a balance between my dreams and my desire. 
Initially my promise was to acknowledge love everyday for the rest of my life. I don't think that changed much, other than accepting that love in the larger scheme of things comes in various packages. There is friendship, family, lovers , dreamers and those we work with and the people that cross our path. We all are unique and very individual people and we are all a puzzle needing to be completed. Some puzzles are put together sooner than others and well others just take a little bit longer to find those missing pieces and complete the picture. I imagine knowing and accepting all of you that you are would be perfection, not perfection with out fault but perfection in its completeness. 
I helped in creating my own world,simply by agreeing to that which I didn't agree and accepting what I found unacceptable. Then I saw that life outside my own had also came with experiences and trials that are not acceptable. 

Today my heart beats slowly and my soul is content and whether I stand strong or buckle knee weak, the road that I travel is to me unique. 

~
I can only tell you what my eyes see
 and my heart feels, I can only express
 the truth of my soul and passion of
my being. 

I can only share my thoughts on this
journey, my choices, my failures,
my dreams and desires. 

~

My needs have always been rather simple... to love as I love. 

~
I once wrote a poem " the weight of a tear"

The Seasons of Love

That which strokes my soul
and fills my heart with love, 
dances in a sweet embrace
on the clouds up above. 

From the moment I wake up,
till I am fast asleep, I hold on
to your the magic your love
brings to me. 

I feel it deep down within me,
the love sowed in the soul,
growing like a forest, it rooted
 down and took a hold. 

~
...to love and be loved. 

Today

It was as if the day was still
like a Picasso on the wall 
and I was part of the painting
where I couldn't move at all.

My heart in motion, my
soul in a spin and yet I
lay here motionless with
all my love to give. `

~

Separate but one, 
far but near, 
emotions ruling,
and love to share. 

My heart aches, 
the soul in despair,
if only my darling 
you were here. 
~




I am not sure what it was,
but it caught me by surprise.
I was lost in the moment and
my mind just drifted away. 

I spent my day deep in dreams,
wishing and wanting you here
next to me. My pillow caught
each and ever tear like a sponge
it removed all traits of fear.

I felt your love and I knew 
you were with me, if only
beside me through the heart
and all my dreams. 

 

To laugh, to live , to love.

It was the weather, the fan blowing and newly placed fresh sheets on the bed, that had me not wanting to get up this morning. I couldn't help but review life from the past to the current days. The miracle of the planet we call earth, the simplicity of life and of course the beauty of love. I factored in all that comes with dreams, hope and faith in tomorrow.
Love such a simplistic to seed to sow but so very overgrown and strangled out by negativity. It takes a fine combination to reveal love in its perfection. Love is a warm hug on a cold day, a sweet whisper of romance on a summer stroll and the connection that spurs flames when two souls come together.
You know when you know someone so well that you complete their sentences or that you are on the same common plateau that you know what the other one is thinking. Love is special in many ways and of course we experience love on these different levels. From the time I read the bible, I thought the apostles must have been great poets. As the Corinthians 13 has to be some of the most beautiful combination of words ever written. "If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,' always hopes, always perseveres."
In adhering to those words and knowing that we are born of love, I rejoice in that I have experienced such a love. There are something that never need to be said, as you can feel them, like an  aura of energy that embraces you. I crossed over a good bit a territory today and some of it made me  laugh, smile and rejoice and a few things stroked at my emotions and brought tears to my eyes. The truth is love is a combination of factors that correctly seeded grows the most beautiful of blooms. Each flower of love unique to the people we unite with. I filed my memories away according to their impact on my life. The first real happiness, heartaches and periods of growth. Time was rapidly moving on and  the memories became a compliment to life. Learning from past mistakes and the hunger for more, reveals a leery heart, one that strives to find that combination and is shielded by fear. It is a lemonade kind of day. You know what type I mean, where the sun is shining but shaded by clouds and its very quiet and well kind of a do nothing but share the heart day. Two chairs on the porch and a lemonade. Not necessarily talking but sharing the moment. I think we can be scarred by the past especially when heals it over but it is still raw inside. They call that" old luggage" I don't necessarily see it that way. We are who we are today because of our yesterdays, both good and bad. 


Life like a fiber optic network submerged, connected and entwined with what is around us.

~

It is always harder to move forward

 but we do even when we don't realize it.
~

Laughter is the equation 

that brings it all together.

Where Have All The Flowers Gone by Joan Baez




I thought this version was pretty. Such a reminder that man is man's worst enemy. Life is so beautiful and so short and what we do today is the foundation for tomorrow.

Where Have All The Flowers Gone

My love...

I listened close and
my heart spoke to me,
the words of love,
and the songs I sing.

I knew when I felt it,
that our love was real
deep from the soul,
the dreams were
revealed.

Happiness is a treasure
indeed, the magic of
love when you dance
with me.

I listened close and
my heart spoke to me,
the words of love,
and the songs I sing.

~
Our friend of ours always love to sing Irish folk songs, they always had a kind of happy story telling spirit to them. I can still see him sitting by the fire and busting lose in song... I think poetry is kind of like and Irish tune, you can easily put it to song.

I went back to yesterday
and this my friend I'll say,
that from the moment you,
looked at me , life was never
quite the same.

The sky was indeed bluer,
and the flower petals bright
and I knew when we spoke,
our love was a delight.

Laughter a norm in which
we shared and the knowing
that you love me dear and
how sincerely you care.

The sun warms my spirit,
like your love touches my
heart as we embrace the
heavens skipping from
star to star.


I went back to yesterday
and this my friend I'll say,
that from the moment you
looked at me , life was never
quite the same.



da da da , da da da da ....

Stars from the heavens,
sand through my toes,
dreams from the heart
and the beauty of a rose.

Your hand in mine,
lips sweet to lips and
the warmth of your
embrace of bliss.




Pictorial Prose was not ever meant to be a place for political views. I do know that nature is life and life is nature. I am not talking pretty little suburban gardens, but all of nature, a weed is a weed until you can identify it and all a sudden it's a flower, a flower is a flower until you learn its medicinal use and all of sudden it's a ... The reality is the more we educate the less ignorance in which our great nation is ruled. One thing must be kept in mind when taking action upon earth is what do we leave to future generations. The destruction of earth in lieu of greed shows just how ignorant the human race really is. 

Blood leaf growing,
flowers in bloom,
the air we breathe,
and the amazing loons.

Sunshine warm 
and earth green,
threatened by
man's very greed.

Beautiful Morning

Sings>Every time I gaze into the heavens,
a silhouette of two lovers is what I see,
embraced in the style of forever, it brings
thoughts of you and I to me.

Every morning when I wake up, your kiss
is all that is on my mind. Like pure honey
freshly harvested, the images of love
drip sweetly with each moment of time.

Every waken moment has a warmth
that belongs to you and I, for we were
joined like magic when the stars in
the heavens aligned.

Every day I thank the Lord for this
chance meeting, from the moment
you first said hello. I felt the love in
 my my heart as it continuously
 and to this day still unfolds.


Every time I gaze into the heavens,
a silhouette of two lovers is what I see,
embraced in the style of forever, it brings
thoughts of you and I to me.

~
It's a beautiful morning,
when I'm here with you,
dreaming like lovers do,
dreaming you next to me.

It's a beautiful morning,
when I'm here with you,
sharing  our heart true,
under skies of blue.

I'll Sing You A Love Song

Soft and tender,
sweet embrace,
warmth of heart
and the pit and
patter of rain.

Moon light evening,
star filled skies,
clouds in passing
and you and I.

Dreams cast,
your fingers
to my lips and
your hands
exploring my
breast.

Soft and tender,
sweet embrace,
warmth of heart
and the pit and
patter of rain.





Sings>I'll sing you a love song,
          in the dark of the night
          and I'll hold you close
          for the rest of my life.

       I'll sing you a love song,
       for your ears alone,
       as the words from my
       heart to your heart flows.

      I'll sing you a love song,
      in the dark of the night
      and I'll hold you close
      for the rest of my life.


     ~
When I am feeling lonely
and my pillow is wet with
tears, I review a page of
the heart and with you I
share.


I smile at the chapters
where you entered my life
and I feel inside a warmth
that makes each day feel
right.

~
Hear me! As I shout the words of love to you. Hear me! I want for you  to know. Hear me! It's my heart that speaks to you. Hear me! As I whisper " I love you."

~
Embraced The Dream

I reached out in the darkness and I pulled you close to me, so close that I could feel your heart beating rapidly. Your lips near mine, your breath to my cheek and at that very moment I closed my eyes and embraced the dream.
Dance in the heavens, again here on earth, hold my hand sweet darling  as our souls prepare for a rebirth. The sky is ours, the night belongs to you and I, we have challenged the distance and replaced hello with goodbye.

~

Love Poetry


  We need not be reminded of love, 
for each day we stand in celebration of such love. 


Life is but a revolving combination 
of circumstance, choice and actions. 
~
Soft pastel pink roses arch from the hills on down, as the sun pierces through the leaves and graces with a shadow upon the ground. The wind a choreographer gently takes to the sky and performs a magic that can be caught with the naked eye.  Wild rose petals wind spun in circles, partners with the dance of leaves that fan over the violets purple. Breathtaking the image, calming to the soul, for the moment set a stage where dreams will now unfold. 

~
I love you darling with all my heart, I'd love you my sweet from the start. We took to the heavens and embraced the stars, from the moment you took my heart. 

The truth has spoken and time has revealed that true love really does heal.Holding hands day after day and grateful what happened when your love came my way. 


~
Life is full of colors indeed, 
sunshine yellow and blue 
memories. There is the red
of our love, the green of spring
and the seasons that a rainbow
brings. 
~
I'll hold you, I'll love you,I'll kiss you goodnight.I'll embrace our love for the rest of my life. 

~
My fingers went to typing , my soul danced in the rain and my heart went a racing as I celebrated the love that showered down on us that day.

Hold Me...Love Me

I just wanna love you,
so I close my eyes and
I am with you.

I just wanna be there,
holding you tight, loving
you through the night.
~
I don't regret,
yet sorry am I,
for stupidity ruled
on this journey of
mine.

Choices were made,
a path was followed,
one that led right
through the hollow.
~

I can review a memory
and each time it's different
than before. Sometimes it
feels warm and safe and
wonderful indeed and
than again I glance on
over and it's once again
troublesome to me.

More...

More is the sweetness of a morning kiss,
the magic of life with you I wouldn't miss.

More is the warmth of your embrace,
gazing into your eyes, face to face.

More is to share in your smile while I
gaze into your eyes for awhile.

More is loving you with all my heart,
charting the heavens from star to star.

More is a dream of you come true,
side by side just me and you.

More is a walk along the beach,
hand in hand while our hearts speak.

More is to say good night while by
your side, cuddle close forever mine.

More is to watch you fall sleep, brush
the hair from your forehead while you dream .

More is to dance with you day and night,
on earth and the heavens for all of life.

More is to know that you'll be here with me,
and I will never ever be lonely.

More is to watch the sun rise,
and to be with you as it says goodbye.

More is to feel your comforting embrace,
as you wipe the tears from my face.

More is ice tea on a hot summer day,
watching the ducks in the water wade.

More is a stroll when the gardens blooms,
hand in hand just me and you.

More is nothing and more is everything,
more is how you make my heart sing.

More is my life when I am with you,
more is a look at the sky blue.

More is each day that I am with you,
no matter what we say or do.

More is the suns light upon my face,
as I daydream the time away.

More is growing old with you and
loving each gray hair that comes through.

More is knowing our love is great and
will survive another time and day.

More is a blue bird flying by and the
happiness bursting from inside.

More is all the plans we have yet to do,
and I know we'll make it all come true.

More is a rose that awaits bloom and
petals on my pillow that await you.

More is the memories you have instilled,
kept safe in my heart and pulled at will.



Angel of Mine

Little bit of sunshine,skies of blue,
and the trees sent a whisper of " I love you."



There is a road I followed,
it led me direct to you and
on that day when we collided,
gray skies turned to blue. 


The sun was brighter 
as were the stars at night,
while they seemed to tell 
a story of two lovers delight. 







~
I drove down the road
and my mind slipped away,
I thought of years ago and
the magic that was made.

My heart went racing
and I felt internal joy,
as the warmth of your
love was there to enjoy.
~

People, people, people,
people everywhere, but
none of them are as
special as you my dear.

You took my heart,
you held it close and
and there the joining
of souls was captured
in flight.

People, people, people,
people everywhere, but
none of them are as
special as you my dear.
~
Some saw rainbows,
and a heavens spell,
like that of the angel
which from heaven fell.

I wasn't looking and
to my surprise that
angel fell into my
very life.

Some saw rainbows
and a heavens spell,
like that of the angel,
which from heaven fell.

I felt your hand hold
me tight, my very own
angel both day and night.

Some saw rainbows
and a heavens spell,
like that of the angel,
which from heaven fell.

Love




Hold still the
moment of love.

Hold still the dreams
where two are one
.
Hold still the memory,
where you first came to me.
      ____________

Without your love,
there'd be darkness,
without your warmth,
I'd be frozen in place.

Without  our dreams,
there would be emptiness,
without hope we'd lose
all sense of faith.

Without music,
there'd be no song,
without song, there'd
be no dance.

Without you,
there'd be no happiness,
no smile on my face,
for I'd be lost without
your embrace.



If time could stop from moving on,
I'd choose your arms to hold me,
so tender and yet so strong.

If rainbows came crashing down
from the sky, I'd take the bridge
of happiness to connect your
heart to mine.


__________________



I wanna love you and
know you love me too.

I wanna kiss your lips
and share the sweetness.

I wanna gaze into your eyes
and see them reflecting mine.

I wanna love you and
know you love me too.

I wanna whisper in your ear,
words that show I care.

I wanna here you say, you'll
love me each and every day.

I wanna take your hand and
walk along the sand.

I wanna love you and
know you love me too.



...but all the time it's my love for you.

Sometimes a word,
a thought or a dream,
and sometimes a sweet
memory.

Sometimes a song,
a sound in the air
or the beat of the
heart that I hear.

Sometimes a tear,
a smile or a laugh
and sometimes it just
a dance from the past.

Sometimes it's a want
or a need and sometimes
it's my will to believe.








One kiss, one embrace, one love ....


In the mosaic canvas camouflaged by life
tiny pieces reveal, though separate one. 

~
When the tears burn, 
they fall upon the heart,
leaving traces of your love. 

Whisper words of sweet,
share your love with me.
Hands through the hair,
tell me you really care.

Tears fill my eyes
and that is no surprise,
as I think of you and
tremble deep inside.

~

Heaven Sent Angel

Heaven sent angel,
to be my my side,
to hold my hand
and love provide.

Comforts the heart,
teases the soul,
whispers of love,
on this life long stroll.

Heaven sent angel,
to be my guide,
building bridges,
from your heart to mine.

In My Heart ...

Yeah!
Sings>Yeah! you went ahead and did it,
           you put the sunshine in my morn.

          Yeah! you went ahead and did it,
           you put the stars in my sky.

          Yeah!  you went ahead and did it,
           you put the love in my heart.

          Yeah! you went ahead and did it,
          you set my soul on fire.

~
I can't stop my feet from
dancing, I tried to keep
them on the ground.

I can't stop my heart
from racing,as long as
you my darling are
around.

I can't stop from
singing, so happy
am I.

I can't stop from
dreaming, as long
as there is you and
I.



In My Heart

       
In the wind,
from a mountain,
in the rain,
flowing down stream,
in the night,
gazing at the sky,
in my heart,
there is only you and I.

In the dream,
a silhouette is seen,
in the song,
the words of love are heard,
in the garden,
memories are found,
in my heart,
there is only you and I.

In the moment,
we dance upon the clouds,
in the seasons,
all our love is found,
in the blue,
angels are celebrating,
in my heart,
there is only you and I.
~
Cast in silver,
diamonds on a ring,
matter very little,
if sadness is what
it brings.

Roses will fade,
like flowers of spring,
and there we'll say goodbye,
to yesterdays dreams.

~
I love you,
three words,
from my heart
to you, baby,
I love you.

These words
indelible written
in the heavens
blue, baby, I
love you.


 I love you
three words,
from my heart
to you, baby,
I love you.

Poem a day...




I gazed into the night sky,
the stars were shining bright.
The moon reflecting over the
river, like crystal of the night.

I said goodbye to yesterday,
one rose a  day I lay, to
count the memories in my
heart that will forever remain.


I gazed into the night sky,
the stars were shining bright.
The moon reflecting over the
river, like crystal of the night.


~

I don't know who left
the script of life at my door,
nor do I know what tomorrows
 chapters have in store.

I filed the pages accordingly
and in my heart they stay,
from a varied set of emotions
and the dreams that came our way.

It wasn't what I expected and I
don't know what to say, except
that we hold no reigns on tomorrow,
they to will fade away.

~
From my lips the words of love,
from my heart the songs of yesterday,
From my lips the words of love,
from my soul the chance to be the one.

From my lips the words of love,
from my heart the songs of yesterday.
From my lips the words of love,
from my soul the to be the one.

The one who kisses you, the one who
loves you, the one who whispers goodnight.
The one who kisses you, the one who
loves you, the one who whispers goodnight.

~
Sun chokes return
and under the sun
they grow, reaching
to the heavens a
new season to show.

Little surprises,
catch ya off guard,
bringing gifts of nature,
like a glimpse at nightly
stars.

My heart quivered,
my soul blazed a fire
as I counted all my
blessing, hour by hour.

There were many days,
I wish I cold have held still,
but just like climbing mountains,
there is a new day over each hill.


~
My Lonely Pillow

I lay upon the pillow,
lonely am I, needing
your arms to cuddle
by your side.

I lay upon the pillow,
waiting for the next
dream and wondering
if in your thoughts,
you are thinking of me.

I lay upon the pillow,
staring into the sky,
watching the stars
twinkle as clouds
go by.

I lay upon the pillow,
and tightly close my
eyes as I try to hold
you in my heart
with the power of
the mind.

I lay upon the pillow,
and I pull the blankets
close as I pluck the
petals on a rainbow
rose.

I lay upon the pillow
and weary this soul,
that reached in the
darkness to feel your
hold.

Blue skies Blue

Blue skies blue,
get bluer when I 
am with you

Blue skies blue, 
get bluer when I
think of you. 

Blue skies blue, 
get bluer when I
reach for you. 

Blue skies blue,
get bluer when I
am with you. 



The gift is not in the sun shining down on the bridge, or the crystal water reflecting below the bridge. It is the omniscient knowledge that with love all things are possible. When I cross the bridge of life and I find you waiting, I will have all that I will ever need for it will be evident to all of a love so warm , wonderful and kind. 


When I think of all that I don't have, 
stop, pray and rejoice for all that I do. 


As I engaged in the review of past endeavors,I saw it all in a new light. It all seem to be due to a new level of maturity. Growth is inevitable,unless you tread in denial. There are somethings you never forget, but never the less a refresher course doesn't hurt.

 Kick faster, 
pull harder, 
reach the shore.

Climb higher,
look further, 
see what's in store.



To worry about the future
 is a foolish endeavor. 


My heart felt a temporary touch of sorrow
and then I laughed and said "crazy is crazy."


If our choices equate with our
actions and alter our outcome, 
I shall then choose love,
 live love both day and
 night resting in 
your arms. 



Sometimes I feel numb,lost and lonely...
one page in a passing chapter.








It's not what we experience,
but our response to what we experience.

~
Facts are the missing pieces,
the rest is just a blur. 
~
When you pave the way with truth,
you unlock the gates of trust
revealing the gift of love.
~

I have this crystal ball and nothing could I see, until I realized all to see is seen through me. I saw my many choices, the paths that lay ahead and when I gazed a little further I saw there was truly no end. The days are quickly passing and our time on life is short but little does that matter as we pass what in our hearts we store. 
~

In my heart I hold your love, hold the dreams,
 hold your memory...in my heart.

poetry...or a view of the heart

+Today the sun was shining,
the sky a summer blue and
the breeze to my soul blowing
in the direction of I love you.

Clouds were in a distance,
with shades both dark and gray,
so I grasped to hold you close
to make them fade away.
~

I knew tomorrow would never
be today, for it took a bit of
yesterday to send us on our
way.

I knew I saw in the horizon
a tale, filled with lessons
that in my heart swell.
_

I believe that souls can fall in love,
that two hearts together will merge into one.
That dreams are a gateway where heavens
aspires to reach out in the darkness and
create our own hour.

~
When I was a child I'd find myself lost in a dream, wondering where I am going and who will wait for me. Time had passed and now I can see, that you captured my heart and set my soul free.

When the world seemed to overwhelm I was trapped both in my heaven and hell. For I could see the good and I could see the bad and I sometimes felt happiness and other times I was sad.

The years have made a fool of me, as I tried to stop them from taking a hold of me. But they kept on moving as fast as can be, while taking with them all my hopes and dreams.

I thought about my life and all I have yet to do and a tear fell like a raindrop from the blue. I knew heartache, I lived through despair and I held your love,for I knew you really cared.

~

I lived for tomorrow,
while my today's were passing me by. 
~

Love is not about perfection,
it is about respecting not only the beauty of
another soul but the faults of being human. 







Love Like Ours

I wasn't counting on a love like ours, I
didn't plan to let you in. I tried to guard
 my heart, but you unlocked it and
walked on in.

I wasn't expecting, but it was to my
surprise, a warmth and magic that
kept growing deep inside.



I wasn't counting on a love like ours, I
didn't plan to let you in. I tried to guard
 my heart, but you unlocked it and
walked on in.

You took my hand and held it tight,
kissed my lips and gave to me a new
breath of life.

I wasn't counting on a love like ours, I
didn't plan to let you in. I tried to guard
my heart, but you unlocked it and
walked on in.

You taught me how to embrace the heavens,
dance closely upon the clouds. Celebrate
each day with happiness and smiles.


I wasn't counting on a love like ours, I
didn't plan to let you in. I tried to guard
my heart, but you unlocked it and
walked on in.

The dreams summoned me and all I
had to do was believe and there in
the night an image appeared, the
the duel silhouette entwined was
quite rare.

I wasn't counting on a love like ours,
I didn't plan to let you in. I tried to
guard my heart, but you unlocked it
and walked on in.

My life will never ever be the same,
I don't think of this as a game.  You
placed your imprint on my soul and
gently cradled my heart in your fold.

I wan't counting on a love like ours,
I didn't plan to let you in. I tried to
guard my heart, but you unlocked it
and walked on in.

The road of hills and bends, spouts
of beginnings and not of ends. I
traveled a path of sorrow and
despair until your love appeared.

I wasn't counting on a love like ours,
I didn't plan to let you in. I tried to
guard my heart, but you unlocked it
and walked on in.

I don't know what tomorrow brings,
I am not sure about anything. But
this my darling I declare, our hearts
are proof how much one can care.

I wasn't counting on a love like ours,
I didn't plan to let you in. I tried to
guard my heart, but you unlocked it
and walked on in.

You're the song my heart sings,
you're the love the day brings.
The passion that unites together,
the heart and soul with heavens
tethers.

I wasn't counting on a love like ours,
I didn't plan to let you in. I tried to
guard my heart, but you unlocked it
and walked on in.












To Embrace the Dream

I race to my pillows
and there I lay with
hope that the dreams
will bring you my way.

I close my eyes as I
end the day, so that
when morning comes
in your arms i'll awake.

I race to my pillows
and there I lay in the
dark of night I quietly
pray.

Thankful am I for
the road that led
you to my side.  

I race to my pillows
and there I lay
through your heart,
in your arms both
night and day.





Every word I write
 and song that I sing,
all the thought that
 cross my mind
is like a dream.

Every tear you wipe
and smile you bring,
comforts the heart
with sweet memory.

Every star that shines
and cloud that passes by,
brings to me the essence
of what love should be.

Sing Aloud With Me

Sing>Let's go on chasing and
simply replacing the rain,
just move those clouds
and sing aloud with me.

Blue skies, blue skies,
behind those clouds,
I know it's around, send
that sunshine down.


Let's go on chasing and
simply replacing the rain,
just move those clouds
and sing aloud with me.


Open your heart and
invite me inside and
 we'll spend the day
chasing away the gray.


Let's go on chasing and
simply replacing the rain,
just move those clouds
and sing aloud with me.

I Did It!...

Only a fool tries to redirect the path of another...

~
Sometimes I am frightened not because it's 
difficult but because it is easy. 

~
I use to think that my words touched 
the common heart, I have now 
come to realize that those
who relate are a special 
breed... full of love,
 hope and faith.


There maybe walls without doors,
but never walls without windows.

~
Popeye said it best " I yam what I yam. "




Happiness and sorrow,
tears and glee,
light and darkness
in every dream.


Hurdles

It's not the hurdles
many would think,
a few are obstacles
of shadows I defeat.

It is simply me being
me, nothing complicated
just fulfilling my dreams.

Standing on a stage is
natural to me, talking
with people and setting
them at ease.

It's not the hurdles,
many would think,
a few are obstacles
of shadows I defeat.




One red rose a day,
a bouquet makes
and one blue sky,
umbrella's over
you and I.

One dream a night,
in your arms tight
and one story told,
reveals the love
as it unfolds.

From daisy's to roses...

Recyled Post


When Angels Stopped To Smile...

I can't recall if the sun was shining, or if the day was cast in rain. All I know is that something happened and it just kept getting better everyday. The days became shorter and in the nights I danced to song and I knew that this was more than special, your arms was where I belonged. I asked about the timing, why it did take so long? Why were the roads so winding and the barriers so tall and strong? The wind nipped the spirit, the sun cast away the gray and the angels stopped to smile down on us and to our hearts convey. Compare not to sorrow, let the darkness fade, the reflection from the heavens had chosen to shine on us that day.

Heart, Soul and MInd

The hollow is at it's peak in performance. The nourishment from the  early spring rain finds the trees covered in varied shades of fresh green leaves. The once spawning fish have moved down stream to a larger body of water and the birds are all going about caring for the newly laid eggs. Spring is indeed my favorite time of the year. It is a time of renewal and a celebration of life. With all it's positive qualities it comes with a time of goodbyes. As I acknowledge twenty years in passing of my grandmother and sister, the emphasis is not placed on sadness but how quickly life passes before us.
I was gathering fresh lemon balm and various mints from the gardens this morning. When it came down to it, I felt like a old time gatherer. I was sure that herbs and medicinal plants were not just a learned behavior but a part of my being. There is a unique unity, acceptance and calm that comes with knowing which road to journey. I find that the further I travel the more clearer it becomes.
I am a bit excited about my trip this weekend and I hope that it is a success. At one time success meant how well I did financially, but as times passes I realize success is the achievements made through awareness. Each person that crosses our path, unites in spirit and rejoices through life becomes a testimony to our own individual journey.
I try to find forgiveness within myself to allow for a greater experience. Somethings are more difficult and the forgiveness is not as easy to achieve. I find we are all puzzles, some pieces lost never to be found, misplaced or just darn right difficult to identify. One tear swelled from my eye and rolled down my cheek. I try to explore the emotion and justify the feelings that were stirring within me. This tear contained a child's vision, a women's struggles , yesterdays sorrow and the fear of tomorrow. I took a deep breath and slowly blew it out, as if I could blow away all the negativity.
Our needs are so simple and our wants so complicated.

Wipe away the fallen tear,
hold me close and love me
it's all I need my dear.

Your lips to mine, morning
and night, would bring
happiness for life.

Wipe away the fallen tear,
hold me close and love me,
it's all I need my dear.

Your heart to mine, our
beings entwined, as we
love, heart, soul and mind.

The Words of A Stranger

Life is about the exchange of energy. It can be either a positive or negative charge that creates the spark for life. There are people that touch us and leave an edible print upon our soul. But I find it more surprising not in those who made an impact in my life, but those  that somehow felt a connection in the passing of souls.
I was once saddened by a road not traveled and felt sorrow for all that which would never be. The surrounding source of  negative energy blinded my view and I felt  at a loss. The hunger for love and
the need to leave my own footprints upon the sand triggered a passion that still flows like a volcano erupting.

It was a simple hello,
a dance on the clouds,
the feel of your arms.
the love that surrounds.

The wiping of tears,
the warming of heart,
listening close , from
near and a far.

The faith and the hope,
the dreams and desire
and the magic of life
that set my soul afire.

It was believing,
and understanding,
holding my hand
and the timing like
grains of sand.


It was a simple hello,
a dance on the clouds,
the feel of your arms.
the love that surrounds.


The sparkle of your eyes,
the happiness deep inside
and that is how I view you,
in the image of love true.




 ~
My heart leads,
 my soul follows. 


Where Dreams Begin


                                               



One with the mountains,
one when the hearts sings,
one with your love and
one with your memory.

One with the words I write,
one when you hold me tight,
one with your kiss goodnight
and with the morning light.



Where there is dreams,
there is hope, where peace
there is love, where there is
faith in the moment, there's
the power of the heavens
above.

Where there is darkness,
you'll find light, where the
 stars are shining bright.
Where there is love, you'll
find me waiting there for you.

                   





Reflect upon the moment,
the valleys and mountains high,
with our obligation to leave a
part of our heart behind.

Graced across the blue skies,
with the comfort from above,
like angels looking down to
celebrate our love.
~



In the middle of the day,
caught in a daydream,
wishing my life away.


In the middle of a field,
caught in the moment,
on the first of May.

~

Take the time,
to enjoy nature's little signs,
mountains, streams, rivers
and dreams of you.

Ducks are nesting,
blue birds in flight
are testing, just what a
little patience can do.

Rainbows across the sky,
clouds white passing by
and my heart reaches
out for you.

~
