Nothing Can Steal the Laughter

Nothing can steal the laughter,
I shall not lose sweet song
and though we are distanced,
your love is in my heart.

Our paths no doubt different,
line with heart break and fear,
but as I reach on out for you,
only tender love is to be shared.

Rest your eyes upon the moment,
imagine my head upon your chest,
your hands through my hair and
remember how much we are blessed.

Nothing can steal the laughter,
I shall not lose sweet song,
and thought we are distanced,
your love is in my heart.



Each time I wake up and I open my eyes, your love fills my heart and your all that is on my mind. My dearest dreams create a silhouette of two, embracing lovers cast out against the sky so blue. My heart hears music, the song that lovers sing, removes the silence by sounds of love. No matter the distance nor the places traveled, your love is a part of me and forever it will be.

Each time I wake up and I open my eyes, your love fills my heart and your all that is on my mind. Thoughts of peace descend from the heavens, like angels softly singing as our love perseveres. I feel it daily , the magic never wanes as it strengthens day by day. Reach out and touch me, my hand is waiting for you, to pull you close to me and whisper words of love.

Each time I wake up and I open my eyes, your love fills my heart and your all that is on my mind. I stand a top the mountains, level with the tree tops, amazed of the beauty seldom seen. I'll take you with me, no loneliness for you and I, we are here to endure and reach out with our minds.

Each time I wake up and I open my eyes, I see the beauty of the love you give to me. Flowers now blooming and the sun is kind of renewing. Reminders of days gone by and days that are yet to come. I promise darling, that I will always be there, in your heart and in your arms from the moment you open up your eyes.



Waiting on the Sunrise

I waited on the sunrise,
I stood there by the sea,
caught up in the moment
I was lost in a dream.

I looked behind and again
I looked ahead, the road
before us has many curves
and bends.

I waited on the sunrise,
I stood there by the sea,
caught up in the moment
I was lost in a dream.
~


I think it is amazing the emotions that
 become an expression of love. 

~

It's not what surrounds you,
nor the dark and gray, 
the special gift of happiness,
in the heart remains. 

Like sunshine melting snowflakes,
rain on a summer day, 
the seasons in passing gathers
memories as it laysits claim. 

~
Friendship can pass it need not remain, 
but you my love are different, you're 
 in my heart to stay. 
~
I outlived my sister by almost twenty years. It makes you take a closer look at time, vulnerability, goals, choices and the words left unsaid. Writing has been away of documenting my emotions and for those who care or don't, away of letting the world know the magic of love. If tomorrow never comes, the words would remain the same " I love you" 

If tomorrow never comes,
this i'll tell you so, in the 
world of dreams our love 
will continue to grow. 

I'll not meet my maker
without first letting you
know that each poem 
written is love that will
never let go. 

If tomorrow never comes, 
this i'll tell you so ,in the 
world of dreams our love 
will continue to grow. 

Rainbows an anchor, 
the rays of sun a guide.
to lead me into your 
heart and live and
never die.

There is No Letting go... true love just continues to grow.

I am a little bit fearful,
that the day might be done,
friendship needs nurtured
and touched by love.

Like a rose blooming,
its floral a delight,
reminds me of the treasure,
blooming day and night.

Reaching out, you touched my
heart, taught me the meaning
of compassion from a far.

The treasures are many to see,
but the precious treasure is
your love in me.
~

This is so easy, as easy as can be,
your love and friendship, standing
by me.

The world dark and loneliness appears
and I reach for your hand and the
sunshine is there.

This is so easy, as easy as can be,
Your love and friendship, standing
by me.

There are many in passing and few
stood by me, only the truest of
love brings me to my knees.

This is so easy, as easy as can be,
your love and friendship, standing
by me.

I thought I knew from that first day,
but I realized that true love never
fades away.

This is so easy, as easy as can be,
your love and friendship, standing
by me.

You helped me through the darkness,
and showed me the light, taught
me the meaning of what is right.



I find myself caught between the dreams,
wondering about the yesterdays and what
they all mean.

One foot atop the mountain, one foot in the
stream and my heart with you, wherever that
maybe.

I traveled places and there was people I met
on the journey of life, I sometimes failed the
test.

There was days of sunshine and a few filled
with storms, but all that I asked was a day
in the norm.

I find myself caught between the dreams,
wondering about the yesterdays and what
they all mean.

Companions of a place in time

This is what I know,
nothing lives forever,
but maybe a cockroach.

The grass only stays
green if you continue
to water it.

That the stars are infinite,
the more of them you
count the more there is
to count.

That is wonderful to love
but even better when that
person can love you back.

Every person we come in
contact with walks away
with a part of us, lets
hope its a part worth
walking away with.

The older you get,
the more your perspective
changes. What was once
important lacks the
necessary element
of necessity.

I still want to wake up
being loved, but it's not
so important that I would
change or give up who I
am to have it.

Dreams are like a vehicle to
takes us to places we might
never get a chance to visit.

Thinking you can is the first
step to knowing you can, but
doing it is crucial, whether you
fail or succeed.

Experience is the great lessons
of life, without it we are merely
empty souls.

I would have rather cried , felt
sorrow and heartache than
than to have never challenged
life.

Everything is disposable, what we
find of importance means very little
to those we leave behind.

Treasures are meaningless unless
someone wants what you have,
other than that its just an object.

I would rather laugh and cry
than walk through life blinded
and without emotion.

Once you find love, nothings
compares , but than again you
shouldn't go around comparing.

I don't write so others read, I
document so others don't forget.


Pink Frogs and purple dragons

Pink Frogs and purple dragons,
rainbows and tails a wagging,
silly thoughts and dreams
which lead me to you.

Laughter and a heart racing,
memories of no replacing,
on a warm spring day,
brings your love my way.

Pink frogs and purple dragons,
rainbows and tails a wagging,
silly thoughts and dreams
which lead me to you.

No fancy stepping, this dance
is just happening as I embrace
a day with you, dancing on
the clouds above the sky blue.

Pink frogs and purple dragons,
rainbows and tails a wagging,
silly thoughts and dreams
which lead me to you.

Glint found in my eyes,
smiles traced by time,
reminders of how much
I truly love you.

Pink frogs and purple dragons,
rainbows and tails a wagging ,
silly thoughts and dreams
which lead me to you.

Sitting on top a hill,
bridges from here to there,
connecting you to me
like a shore to a sea.

Pink frogs and purple dragons,
rainbows and tails a wagging,
silly thoughts and dreams which
lead me to you.

Maturity waning, the child in
me is celebrating, skipping
rocks and spending my day
dreaming under the blue.

Pink frogs and purple dragons,
rainbows and tails a wagging,
silly thoughts and dreams
which lead me to you.

The world silent and my heart
is screaming, musical thoughts
and souls a beaming as I reach
on out to you.





Beyond Average

Standing atop the mountains,
windmills in place and my
heart is beating as my
memories are traced.

Into the dreams that bring
you near an  escape into that
special place that you and
I have magically shared.

~
If today the rainbow never takes to the sky
and the sun above the clouds has to say goodbye,
than I'll whisper to the winds to send to you
my love, encapsulated forever in the stars above.

Nothing could be more meaningful or wonderful
to me than the memories of love and the magic
of our dreams. The road laced with heartache and
fear, till I reached out once more and felt your love near.

If today found me on the last page of the book and
the words were all written and the chapters all took,
I'd take the clouds and rearrange them so, that every
time someone gazed upon the heavens our love would
glow.

I am not afraid but sad am I that life is shortened and
that everything must die.Left behind are memories
and all that love can do, as time the greater challenge
and all that is left will be the blue.

~

I am on a carousel , spinning around,
memories of yesterday are all that is found.
My hopes and my dreams soon fading away,
as I am lost in a moment of an ordinary day.

~
Once Mr G said " God is for the weak" But I say who is so smart and so strong that they know everything.

~

There is no such thing as an average moment,
each is unique in that tomorrow can quickly
swallow it up.
~

I promised I would never cry
and yet somehow tears fall.
~
Love is not something one can own,
but love is what one can experience.

~
I have felt the ugliness of control
and the beauty of freedom.
~
You can never lose love, though time may change and people age , the experience of love becomes an integral part of who we are. We are like a flower that blooms waiting on another moment to show off our beauty. Like a star that is infinite for once touched is eternal. Like a dream that awaits the night.

Love me with all of your heart

...to be loved as I love.
~
 
Do you know when you see that something special and you know that you'll never find it again...
~
 
      I would be lying if I told you
       I adjusted to waking up alone.
~

If someone told me this would be my life,
 I would have said you are ...

~
I was once told  life could be a whole lot worse and I had to think I still have a roof over my head
and food in the cupboard and my children have grown to be a productive part of society. I guess they are right it could be worse.

~
Some people can have sex with anyone,
but making love now that is special.
~
I have been on the other end close to death,
and I was willing to say goodbye.
~
Only love can break a heart...
 
~
I have succeeded in that I am
 somebody to someone.
 
~
I wondered about this great plan, because it has so many emotions attached to it. I have felt fear, sadness, heartbreak and on the up side, I have embraced happiness , peace, love and kindness. But when it is all said and done, it is loneliness that hurts the most.
 
~
It is not what I saw that swept me off my feet,
it was what I felt... and I felt love.
 
~
I have tried to control my health, because that walk on the beach belongs to me... wipes tears. I stand corrected , that walk belong to you and I.
~
I have seen such devastation from nature and I wondered how can someone recover from the loss of life and home and I realized they don't.
~
 

Finding Peace

It is one of those warm early mornings where you find yourself not wanting to get out of bed. There is a silence that is broken only by the hum of the fan. As I  gaze out the window, I find the suns rays upon the leaves to bring out the varied colors of green. The visual picturesque like the canvas of life. It is at this moment that within my mind I can escape the worries of the moment.
I took to the heavens in the skies of blue and upon the clouds I sat waiting for you. I closed my eyes and I imagined you here, the love of my life in a moment to share. I envisioned the dreams of love where you can hear the angels singing of our special love. There is never a good bye and no hello's, for you are in my heart where ever I go.

Sit here beside me,
I am waiting for you,
my dream and my love,
under heavens blue.

No sign of rain or clouds
of gray, this moment is
ours forever and a day .

Sit here beside me,
I am waiting for you,
my dream and my love,
under heavens blue.

Our love unique to you
and I and is stronger
and stronger as time
goes by.

Sit here beside me,
I am waiting for you,
my dream and my love,
under heavens blue.

To Live and to love ...




I saw the river floods its banks,
rushing like love to the sea,
powerful it overflows with
a touch of your warm memories.

I saw the mountains standing tall,
like a barrier of a brick wall,
distanced the body, but could
not keep your soul from touching me.

I saw the images that make you mine,
I viewed them all in my dreams,
as your arms held me tight and
your kiss to my lips sweet. f

I saw the stars at night and the
clouds that wait for you and I,
as I reach into the darkness,
I found the love of you and I.
~


I wanted the moment to be yours and mine,
to live and to love for all time.
I wanted the dreams to stand still as I
battle every valley and hill.
I wanted nothing but to hold you close,
to smell your cologne on a bed of rose.
I wanted only to hold your hand forever
and ever walking through the sand.
I wanted to wake up next to you,
to watch the clouds passing in the skies blue.
I wanted to whisper in your ear, the words
of love for only you to hear.
I wanted the moment to be yours and mine,
to live and to love for all time.

... alone.

The last time I strolled alone,
the sand beneath my feet,
I held you close within my
heart via my dreams.

The sun had yet to rise,
the gulls had just taken flight
and there was something
calming in the clouds passing by.

I saw the visions clearly some
of yesterday and a few a reminder
how short the time where
tomorrow comes into play.

I held on so very tightly,
afraid of letting go, that
you might fade into the
darkness and again I
I would walk alone.


Tuesday, May 14, 2013

What is?

I wanna close my eyes and dream to night,
I'm in your arms sweet love in broad day light.
I wanna tell you how much you mean to me,
as long as I can hold you from memory.

I wanna wake up and kiss your lips,
make the moment last in a forever bliss.
I wanna wish the darkness away ,
replace it with the light that leads me
your way.

I wanna sing the songs written for you,
while my head gently rest next to you.
I wanna dance till the ends of time
as I embrace your sweetness mixed
with brine.

I wanna whispers words of " I love you"
whisper them under skies of blue.
I wanna write your name on the stars,
like you wrote yours on my heart.


What is a walk without your hand?
The empty journey that places demands,
to wake up knowing that you are not here ,
 is like swimming free of water and in a
 pool dry with sand. Tears can't erase from
 inside the heartache that makes me want
 to run and hide.

What is a breath with out your lips?
The emptiness that hungers for your sweet
 and tender kiss. Simple pleasures are all I need
and at this moment it is all imaginary dream.

What is life with out your love ?
Without the touch from that special one,
the darkness that dwells deep inside and
makes me feel as if I once more died.

What is a heart without your embrace?
The empty vessel in need of your love,
 the want and need of that magic above.
The dance upon the heavens high, falling
 to earth to make you mine.

What is a walk without your hand? The
world of emptiness, loneliness and pain,
in a tunnel of darkness where only dreams
remain.



To escape the sadness,
 I ran away to only find
it followed me each day.

There is nothing I can do
or say that will make the
darkness fade away.

Up to the attic where I
can hide and release the
child locked inside.

Child like memories
in a day so blue,
listens as raindrops
pit and patter through.

There is no happiness
without you , I realized
it when I first met you.

You put the smile on
my face and caused my
heart to race.

There is a silence eerie
as can be, like walls of
distance that keep you
from me.

~

You and I

No tears to fall,
nor hearts to mend,
I ran out that morning,
when inside I brushed
with death.

Days feel like night
and nights are the end,
of a moment of darkness
where loneliness begins.

No tears to fall
or hearts to mend,
I ran out that morning,
when inside I brushed
with death.

I saw the clouds in passing
and the rivers meet the sea,
I felt your love as it passed
through me.


There is nothing we can't do,
there is always you and I ,
we have danced in the heavens,
we ruled the blue sky.

There is a song in every moment,
beautifully waiting to be sung,
a story not yet written that
wreaks of love.

The is nothing we can't do,
there is always you and I,
we have danced in the heavens,
we ruled the blue sky.
~

I am here waiting,
I'm waiting here for you,
for the love of my life
and  a sky that is so blue.

I am here waiting,
I'm waiting here for you,
to take my hand and
make my dreams come true.

I am here waiting,
I'm waiting here for you,
waiting on your love,
to bring me next to you.

I am here waiting,
I'm waiting here for you,
waiting for the moment
to give my kiss to you.

Embraceable Memories

This is really simple
and I will tell you why,
as long as I have memories,
I'll have you by my side.
 
I close my eyes and I'm
lying next to you, as
we touch with hearts we
cross the skies of blue.
 
This is really simple and
I will tell you why,
as long as I have memories,
I'll have you by my side.
 
I can feel the warmth you
give to me, like sunshine
on the first warm day of
spring.
 
This is really simple and
I will tell you why,
as long as I have memories,
I'll have you by my side.
 
You're the magic of the moment,
the dreams I dream each night,
you're the love I hold in my heart
that makes this world seem right.
 
This is really simple and I
will tell you why,
as long as I have memories,
I'll have you by my side.
 
 
 
 
The bridge of dreams,
crosses rivers and seas,
breaking barriers night
and day to bring your
love my way.
 
I can feel you next to me,
lying close and peacefully,
warm and wonderful, are the
embraceable memories.
 
The bridge of dreams,
crosses rivers and seas,
breaking barriers night
and day to bring your
love my way.
 
Stars shining bright,
cast a glow of light,
leading us by chance
in the mystical dance.
 
 
 
When the children were little and they were tired or under the weather, I would sing them to sleep in hopes that when they awake they would be better. If life could only be that easy, that a song could put us to sleep and we would wake up woe free. Strange as it maybe growing up in a very structural family with stringent rules , there was also much compassion and love. I can remember always battling an illness of some sort as a child and I can always remember that music and song was very comforting. My daughter is having her biopsy done Friday and if only I could sing away her woes.
 
If I could make it better,
I'd sing all night and day,
to ease your troubles and
make them fade away.
 
I'd hum an unknown tune
and give to it your name,
in case the angels are listening
as I quietly pray.
 
If I could make it better,
I'd sing all night and day,
to ease your troubles and
make them fade away.
 
I'd sing of sunshine,
happiness and skies of
blue and all the love
I have for you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Reach for the sunshine,
the skies blue,
reach for your love
and a dream true.
 
Reach for the night sky,
the stars bright
in the heavens
where you'll be mine.
~
 
 
 
~
I don't wanna wake up,
I am where I wanna be,
I'm dreaming your
arms around me.
 
I don't wanna wake up,
I am where I wanna be,
don't go pinching,
I am enjoying my dream.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Take to the heavens,soar mighty and high,
let your wings open, rule the blue sky,
make each dream come true. I'm in the
clouds waiting there for you.

Let the worries all be gone,
when you are with me love is strong,
no sorrow or aching hearts,
just let our souls ignite that spark.

Take to the heavens, soar mighty and high,
let your wings open , rule the blue sky,
make each dream come true. I'm in the
clouds waiting there for you.
 
 
 
~

Dreams might be all I have,
gives me hope and has me laughing,
like angels in the heavens high,
you can catch me toe tapping.

Dreams might be all I have,
gives me hope and has me laughing,
thinking of your lips to mine,
passion sweet like honey brine.

~
I'd like to dance,
Id like to sing a song,
I'd surely like to
rewrite the wrongs.

With you my love,
I'd like to make
our dreams come
true.

I'd like to dance,
I'd like to sing a song,
I'd surely to
rewrite the wrongs.

Amžinai

I cannot change how my heart feels,
nor the memories that consume my daily thoughts.
 
 
-
Lost in a love song...
~
As my hand brushes against your cheek,
embracing with love.
 

Another Version of life is not always black and white....


This is one of my favorite sketches of Audrey's, Nothing is ever simple, so comes into play the colors of life. I find the picture to be a better representation of colored snow. Much better than anything I could have drawn.
In life we confront many barriers and find our self at the bottom of the hill many times. How we find the strength to overcome the obstacles depends on many factors.

We need a little sunshine,
bright yellow in the day
and a little blue skies
to lead us on our way.

The renewal of fresh green
and the life it ultimately gives
on the journey where both
heartache and happiness live.

Colors of a rainbow bring
so much to you and I,
teaching us to reach
beyond the dark of the
night sky.

Sings> Five turles ...one by one.

Five turtles, one by one,
sitting on a log gathering sun.
The sky clear and dark blue
without one cloud passing through.

Wind gentle blowing all around,
blossoms of spring falling to the ground.
Sweet reminders as I begin to sing and
the blue bird is as the start of another dream.

Five turtles, one by one,
sitting on a log gather sun.
The sky clear and dark blue
without one cloud passing through.

One am I with the birds and the trees,
comforted by their simplicity.
Like the soil of earth through my fingers,
the day in passing belongs to dreamers.

Fiver turtles, one by one,
sitting on a log gathering sun.
The sky clear and dark blue,
without one cloud passing through.


You Have To Pay the Piper

Missed opportunities, wrong place and wrong time , there are many quotes that reference the obstacles, decisions and fate itself. I have always struggled with a phrase my mother use to say " when you think you have it bad, someone else has it worse." I never liked that because I believe we all have our own heaven and hell to deal with. How can we go about as they say " comparing apples to oranges" Life is more about recognizing the gift of a moment rather than the negative. Everyone has a different way of looking at it,. Years back I was told that "now was the time to reap the rewards of our harvest" and another comment was that of " you are the company you keep and still another " ignorance is bliss."
Looking at where I am at in this moment in time, I look back knowing very well we cannot clear the canvas, only add to it. I always prided myself in not having regrets, but in many ways I wish had the opportunity to replay chapters and like those books where you choose different endings, redirect that path by choosing a different direction.
I have a difficult time dealing with my own vulnerabilities. Knowing very well that each of us at any given moment can fade like water evaporating in the sun. My sister made me laugh , my fathers favorite saying was " you have to pay the piper. " In her bold way she said, well we will leave out a few words of exactly how she said it . lol She said basically" screw the piper, who the hell is the piper anyway? and I am getting  .#$%^&** tired of paying the@#$%^^ piper. " The phrase " to pay the piper meant  to bear the unfavorable consequences of one's actions or pleasures. Consequences, everything we do or don't do has a consequence. My daughter said" I want to write my life in pen, son when I make a mistake I can't erase it. " She doesn't want to forget her mistakes, because that is how we learn. But what if we keep making the same mistakes over and over again? How much do we have to pay for the decisions we make ?
As my sister Lex would say "Damn that Piper!! How much more do we have to pay?"

Every thought is you.

Paths don't cross, hearts touch and souls reunite.
 
~
Just to wake up in your arms my love and listen to the raindrops tapping one by one. I'd can't imagine anything I'd rather do, than spend a day loving you. I think of you all the time, a simple word or phrase makes you mine. The songs of love written for two  and a story of the love that between us grew.  Dreams the catalyst  to bring you here in my heart where each night we share. Like the dance in the heavens high on the puffy clouds passing by.

 In my heart... that is forevermore.

Silly Dance



It is really rather simple and I will tell you why, the gift of love in my heart resides.It wasn't expected and I never hoped to find the love so warm and wonderful yet toys with my mind. Rainbows in the evening when the sun has set and a cloud passing by from the day we met. We danced like  young lover in their teens, with the thrill that leaves the fondest memories. The magic in passing cast over you and I the magic of life that brought you here to my side.

~
Sings >It must be a silly dance, one step forward and
one step back. Leeping over a mountain of dreams to
find that life is not what it seems.

I promised I would never cry and so I wondered what
was rolling down from my eyes. I wiped it all away
only to find it was the memories from that special day.

My heart feels a little weak and still it had the power
to sing, the songs of love, while dancing on
the clouds above.

It must be a silly dance, one step forward and one
step back. Leeping over a mountain of dreams to
find that life is not waht it seems.
~




Worlds Apart.

I reached for my laptop,
though I knew it wasn't there,
it was the means to a connection
and the day we have yet to share.

Worlds separated by the great divide,
you living in your world and I living in mine.
I tried to remove the barriers of space and time
and bring you closer with the memories in my mind.

Sometimes I feel blessed that our souls have met
and other times it's awkward and lonely at best.
The seasons quickly come and they quickly go,
documenting a moment that I just can't let go.

I reached for my laptop,
though I knew it wasn't there,
it was the means to a connection
and the day we have yet to share.

Story Tell

I gaze on out the window and the hills a story tell,
from spring time through winter it cast a spell.
The flowers blooming remind me of the day
you took my heart and kissed my woes away.

There is a dream that waits to come true
and a world of happiness for me and you.
From the first smile you shared and the
gift of love you gave, bringing your love
in a special kind of way.

I gaze on out the window and the hills a story tell,
from spring time through winter it cast a spell.
The blue bird at my window, the cardinal in red
flight, little reminders of the love we hold inside.
~

I found myself dreaming,
mesmerized with the day,
with skies of blue and a
fashionable way.

I found myself smiling,
as I think of you and
wonder if you are thinking
of me too.

I found myself dancing,
with my arms open wide,
wishing and hoping you'd
be by my side.

I found myself waiting
on the clouds up high,
for the love of my life
to hop on for a ride.

I found myself gazing
into the springtime green
as I remember the laughter
that each day with you brings.

I found myself in sorrow,
as time passes on by and
hoping tomorrow we
will meet you and I.

I found myself reaching,
my hand in the air , grasping
for you and the love
to share.









.....

Newly sprouted leaves cascade in the sun,
while wind danced shadows cast a display
that is equal to none.

Hills filled with trillium a reminder make,
testing the spirit and the dreams that have
yet to fade.

Loneliness and sorrow, reacts to your smile,
wondering what lays before us as we
continue to journey the long miles.

Is there a chapter that waits to be read.
a story to be written of you and I my
friend?

Cast in the canvas of life, heartache
and sorrow that just doesn't feel
quite right.

Like the aching of my body my heart
aches for you, wanting to feel your
arms and make this dream come true.
