Forget-Me-Not

I don't need a calendar or a made
up holiday to remind me how
much I love you, as you're in my
heart each day.

Not a field of Forget-me-nots
or the bright sun shining hot,
no reminders do I need as
your love is what I've got.


I don't need a calendar or a made
up holiday to remind me how
much I love you, as you're in my
heart each day.


My heart tells the story of love
true, from that first moment you
said hello and I said hello back
to you.

I don't need a calendar or a made
up holiday to remind me how
much I love you, as you're in
my heart to stay.

Like the sweetness of a song bird
on my window frame, singing
like it's spring on a cold and
winter day.

I don't need a calendar or a made
up holiday to remind me how
much I love you,as you're in
my heart to stay.

Whispers in the morning and
before I say goodnight, whispers
of love to guide me to the light.

I don't need a calendar or a made
up holiday to remind me how
much I love you , as you're in
my heart to stay.

...and bring you here.

Overwhelmed am I
hanging on a cloud,
dreaming of you
holding with my mind.

The stars are falling,
the moon shy's away,
the sun no longer shining
without you in my day.

My heart is weary,
my soul reveals despair,
as I try to move the mountains
and bring you here.



The field of daisy,
the hills I have climbed,
the storms of each season,
tease the spirit and the mind.

Running in circles,
nowhere to go,
heart racing faster
and my feet are awfully
slow.




Everyday I write another poem with
words of love because I am all alone.
Dreams to replace the nightmares,
happiness is when someone cares.

Every thought is always of you and
a summer day under skies of blue.
Strolling by the rocky river side
imagining you walking in my mind.

Your Devotion

To love the moment is 
as important as to share the moment. 


Tears absorbed by the heart...
~

I tried to redirect 
but I am lost in a forest of emotion. 
~

As long as I can dream 
I will wake in your arms. 
~

Dreams are the revelation of 
the subconscious. 
~


I have come to the conclusion that
 right and wrong depends on what
 side of the fence you are sitting. 

Some view a mountain,
with flowers and trees,
but I see the windows,
that showed your love
to me.

Some view the river as
a path that barges lead,
but I see the waves that
sail our love out to sea.

Some view the darkness
as a night filled of fright,
but I see the warmth
that shined on us a light.

Some view the day
with emptiness and fear,
but I see your love and
 and I feel it here.

Some view the world,
with sorrow and grief,
but I see tomorrow
and the joy it will bring.

Some view the heart as
a vessel of emotion,
but I have seen more,
as you flood my heart
with such devotion.



There's a path I have yet to travel,
on a road I have yet to see, led by
the many angels it brings a whole
new world to me.

There's a mountain I have yet to climb,
through the brier and the trees, I reckon
there are many more hurdles and
a bridge to build across the sea.

There's a dream I have yet to see come true,
simple as it is it reveals what the subconsciousness
can do. It can hold your memory night and day
and bring you to me in a loving way.


~
I gave you my heart,
you gave me your love,
I gave you today and
you returned with
tomorrow.

I gave you the music,
you gave me the calm.
I gave you the words
you returned with
a song.

I gave you my heart,
you gave me your love,
I gave you today and
you returned with
tomorrow.
~



... all of my dreams.

Was it a hint of spring or February trickery? The sun was shining the temperature above normal. The peach tree leaf buds swelled with the warmer weather and I found myself trekking the five mile Pumpkin Run path along the Monongahela river. Anxious for any sign that spring would soon be near, I looked at my surroundings in a rather inquisitive way  . The surrounding hills proved otherwise,with the sun beating down upon the hills as the ice laden rock like cliffs revealed that spring was still weeks away.
The Canadian geese known for migration,now stay the winter. The swimming pool of closed down yacht club was un-drained and I found myself amused as I watched the geese swimming in the pool rather than the river.
On my return back to the car I took an alternative path in hopes that it was a short cut. Smugly I grinned as I was reminded that most shortcuts turn out to be more difficult than if we stick to the intended path. Concerned that the path would not bring me out where I had hoped, I went over the hill and down through the trees to the path that was intended for foot travel.
The sun beginning to set spurred the cooler weather and encouraged me to pick up my pace. Anxious I looked at the mile markers and found that the last mile was the longest 1 mile I ever traveled.
The ground hog scurried across the path, a few winter birds took flight, a hawk soared above as I looked on in amazement at a planet whose history was still void of puzzle pieces to its beginning. I looked above to the sky, knowing that our lives are trivial to the bigger scheme of things.

The river quiet,
almost standing still,
no boats or barges,
it was very tranquil.

So close and yet so far,
I imagined you with me,
on the path of life and
in all of my dreams.

...my love of you


Sings>
It might have been the star lit night,
the clouds of white and the moon
shining brightly. My heart felt you
so near, as close as the wind
blowing through my hair.

It might have been the memories,
capturing all the sweet innocence,
as I found my self a drift , my
heart raced as I reminisced.

It might have been the angels song,
that whispered of love and where
I belong.

It might have been the moment
true, telling store of my love for
you.





In the dark of the night

Closing eyes and rolling
 over into your arms. 
~


Like the sun that warms the roses, 
your love warms my heart. 



There are angels in passing,
in the starlight up above
and when I close my eyes,
I am in the arms of love.

There are memories stored,
that bring laughter to life
and when I think of you my
love, I am filled with such
delight.

There is light in the darkness
and I know that you are here,
for I felt a warmth from the
first day you began to share.

There is a song in my heart
and you wrote the words
and I sing them with love
in hopes that I'll be heard.

There is a magic in the night
that brings you hauntingly close
to me and if I weren't awake
I'd swear I was dreaming.

There is another night in passing
and I lay here all alone,
wishing on the night sky
to hear the ringing of my phone.

~








Another season in passing,
one more day to say goodbye,
stars shining brightly above
and then there is you and I.

Another night of dreaming,
one more dance up in the sky,
the embrace of heart and soul
reveals what is yours and mie.


~

You gave your love to me,
it was like a breath of spring.
I first held it from the start,
tucked safely in my heart.

You gave your love to me,
it was like a breath of spring.
I refused to let it go and in
my heart it continues to grow.

You gave your love to me,
it was like a breath of spring.
Kisses me good night and
wakes me with such delight.

You gave your love to me
it was like a breath of spring,
It means so much to me,
it is my everything.

You gave your love to me,
it was like a breath of spring.
I recognized it from the first,
the joy that heaven birthed.

You gave your love to me,
it was like a breath of spring.
The memories that dwell,
revealed your magic spell.

One More Dance With You

One more dance with you,
to feel your heart in mine
as we stand upon the clouds
and let our souls entwine.



One more dance with you,
directly out of our dreams,
haunting chords of music,
on the heart are now played.


One more dance with you,
quivering from your touch,
as one to one we bonded
an no more are we longing.

One more dance with you,
in this life long embrace,
where we battle the darkness
while standing face to face.

One more dance with you,
in the heavens or on earth,
inside out are our hearts,
revealing our worth.

One more dance with you,
remove the masque to see,
all my tears were removed,
when you came to me.

One more dance with you,
no loneliness and despair,
for we rule the moment
and eternity we'll share.

Sing..

To wake up every morning
as the sunlight warms the air,
dream the dreams of love
that allow two hearts to share.

To wake up every morning
and send in each breath a kiss
to travel the distance and
leave my love upon your lips.

~
It could have been your smile
or the laughter you bring,
could have been your love
that started my heart to sing.

I woke up from the dream
and the memories were clear,
that you entered my heart,
the day we began to share.

It could have been your smile
or the laughter you bring,
could have been your love
that started my heart to sing.

I felt it from the first and
I knew it must be true,
that love brought us
together and gave to
us the blue.


It could have been your smile
or the laughter you bring,
could have been your love
that started my heart to sing.

The heavens our playground
where we dance each night and day
and that is where I'll find you
waiting for me to come out and play.


It could have been your smile
or the laughter you bring,
could have been your love
that started my heart to sing.

Something happened and I
can't deny that it left me
with a warmth like the
sun that rules our sky.

It could have bee your smile
or the laughter you bring,
could have been your love
that started my heart to sing.

The bond remains unbroken,
like a endless friendship ring,
where there is no beginning or
goes on for all eternity.

~
I woke up this morning
with the love of you ,
it gave to me a smile
and told me what to do.

It spoke not in riddles,
no hem haw of wordless
sound and I understood
it came from you and
wouldn't let me down.

" Let the laughter lead
you through the day,
don't every let the
darkness find its way."

I thanked the Lord
for each and everyday
celebrating life in a
most unusual way.

The barriers are many,
but we breaking each one
down as I reach out for
your hand and you pull
me to the ground.

~

Life can be cruel,
but i'll strike it from
my tale, for this is our
story of heaven and not hell.

The words will be of love,
that through our hearts we share
and only of the wonder of
how much one can care.

I'll not forsake your love,
you can always count on me,
I promise to hold you close,
in my heart and in all my dreams.

~
There is a good bit to loving
and let me tell you so,
its the holding of the heart
that makes me love you so.

The laughter you bring
when I am feeling blue
and the joy of life
when I share it with you.
~

Forever Blowing in the Wind


I promise to never cry as long as I live,
not to harden my heart but to open it, 
to never be saddened but what cannot 
be but to rejoice in the opportunity 
each sunlit morning provides us with. 

I promise to meet my challenges 
head on and overcome all obstacles,
to separate myself from the negative 
and forge ahead in a positive fashion. 

I promise to stand tall in the face of 
diversity and accept my differences.
I'll not look at what I cannot do 
but embrace all that I can and will. 

I shall love life whether I like all that
is happening or not. I will make a 
difference not in those around me 
but in myself to care for, smile 
and put myself in the hands of God. 

I will help all that are within my reach
and in doing so help myself to 
understand, accept and journey in 
a way that allows me to be complete.

I shall laugh as if tomorrow was over 
and live opening the gateway to love. 
I shall celebrate all that I am and 
all that I will and can be. 

I will dream the dreams of lovers, 
breathing new life into each new day.
Dance forever upon the clouds and
reward myself for my accomplishments.

I shall take in a deep breath and gather
the strength need to forge ahead. 
I will succeed not in proving my worth
but revealing to all my worth. 

When all is said and done and life on 
earth is complete I will leave 
behind a legacy of a women, 
her love and dreams forever
blowing in the wind.

... my heart speaks to me.

I write the words my heart speaks to me,
a combination of all my love and dreams.
You and I and the days gone by stored
memories that never leave the mind.

I write the words my heart speaks to me,
a combination of all my love and dreams.
The romance stories we've yet to tell,
the happiness that in us dwells.

I write the words my heart speaks to me,
a combination of all my love and dreams.
Simple pleasures of you and I , the
clouds that brace the blue sky.

I write the words my heart speaks to me,
a combination of all my love and dreams.
Placing you next to me, hold my hand
and journey through the gates of time.

I write the words my heart speaks to me,
a combination of all my love and dreams.
From the moment you smiled and shared
your sweetness with me documenting for
all eternity.

Close your eyes

Sings>Close your eyes and
 gently embrace all that we are. 
Close your eyes and imagine
the sky with a dusting of stars. 

Lay here next to me and whisper
of words that say you care, while 
hearts are all that is between us 
to share. 

Close your eyes and gently
embrace all that we are. 
Close your eyes and imagine
the sky with a dusting of stars. 

The darkness drapes the night
and yet I lay in hunger with 
a need for sight. To taste 
your sweetness and gaze
into your soul. 

Close your eyes and gently
embrace all that we are. 
Close your eyes and imagine
the sky with a dusting of stars. 

My fur inside out a blanket makes,
my pillow fluffed is where my 
head lays, my eyes close and 
there I see the warmth of your 
love i the start of my dream. 

Close your eyes and gently 
embrace all that we are. 
Close your eyes and imagine
the sky with a dusting of stars.

I just want to love you...like love should be shared

I just want to tell you how much I love you so
and whisper words of sweetness so that in
your heart they will grow.

I just want to touch you and fill your life with
happiness and share with you each moment in
a wonderful state of bliss.

I just want to script to the heavens high,
the indelible words of love to last for all time.

I just want to celebrate all you mean to me,
you took my heart and it's yours for all eternity.

I just want to love you, like love should be shared,
to hold you in my arms and prove how much I care.










If I could create a rainbow
I would arch it across the sky,
fill it with lots of love to
bridge your heart to mine.

If I could send a million
wishes via the butterflies,
you'd find my fluttering kisses
on your lips day and night.

If I could make the world,
a better place for you and I,
I'd place you in my arms
and in my heart for all time.

If I could make the dreams
of sunshine and summer blue,
I'd simply cast you in the grass
where I'm laying next to you.

If I could stop the pain of
a day where absence rules,
I'd start with a miracle
and let the love unfold.

If I could write the words
that would speak to your
heart, I'd fill it full of
happiness to reach you
from a far.

Scattered Thoughts

I need to thaw out, 
I can't function in the cold.
~
I was once told I was temperamental but
life is unpredictable. I guess so am I
or it would be boring otherwise. 


~

When you think you understand, 
that is when you get smacked in 
the face from stupidity. 
~
The loudest screams 
are in silence. 
~
Life is a roller-coaster,
when you get off the ride it's
all over...might as well enjoy it while it last. 

~
Hearts are like the finest of crystal,
 beautiful yet fragile and when
 broken shatters to pieces. 

~
I am distant, 
my feet are on the earth,
my mind has left for another realm. 
~
Why is it that the worlds seems to want 
a piece of your soul?
~
It's what they think you are
and then everyone is your friend. 
~
I can't count how my true friends I have 
on one hand , the others are wannabe's. 
~
I hate the game of "Chutes and Ladders"
it's to close to reality. 
~
They say that they are reintroducing shock 
treatment for depression. The side affect is 
loss of memory. It might be good for
the side affect alone, can I forget 
to get to pay the bills. 
~
I daydream about the ocean, 
nothing is more magical or powerful 
than a body of water. 
~
I believe that there is no doubt that you will
recognize love when you see it... 
or is that feel it?
~
The prison without walls is the worse kind,
there is no escaping it. 
~
I have learned that as much I enjoy people,
I have begun to appreciate being alone.
~

Unrequited love teaches you that 
love of self is most important. 
~
The heart is as big or small 
as you allow it to be. 
~
If I were a billionaire I would 
never wear the same clothing twice...I hate laundry. 

~

Why is it that my mind is running 
and I have yet to walk?
~
There are situations that are out of our control,
those are the deepest of daggers. 
~
You can love a rose, 
but it still dies. 
~
If we live heaven and hell on earth,
I have done my time. 
~



Weary Soul

I have realized that the blog is kind of a diary and not. Though it does relate to my emotions at the time, it is rather an escape than reality. Kind of a glimpse into a world that exist as the heart would have it. This year ironically ending in 2013 seems to have started off with a bang. It is like being in one of those madhouse rooms where the walls close in on you. The space getting smaller and smaller and fear setting in as you gasp to breathe. I looked back over the years because our choices lead us down the path of tomorrow. The conversations recently with my mother and sister, revealed how different our lives are and yet how much they paralleled. What was the common factor? Making decisions based on the emotions of the heart and also I believe we were all taught to stand our ground and work it out. Did we create our own world or is our choices based on the world we are given? All I can describe are the anchors that hold me back instead of the wings that lift me up. Unlike a boat that has one anchor, I believe year after year we are giving many anchors that hold us in place for one reason or another. Some people call the anchors means to responsibility. My future daughter in law was talking about her fear of people, places and things and her attachment to my son. He is her safe place where she feels free to be herself, comfort and loved without judgement. I know that feeling to hide from the world, because as dysfunctional as it can be, you know how to handle it, what to expect and what is expected. On the other hand how unrewarding to not experience, as isn't it our goal upon this earth to experience and achieve completion in our goals set? Another cold white coating of winter wet crystals blanket the hills giving it fresh bright appearance. Yet, I feel that it acts as both a blanket to hide and a blanket to protect and still more it creates a chill as a reminder of the harshness that life can bring. I am a bit lost today, staring at work that needs to be done and not meeting up with the challenges. I feel fragmented, as if I were broken pieces needing placed back in some kind of order. Takes a deep breath and pulls it together and escapes through the daydreams soften the blows of an other wise frustrating time. I saw it before, many years ago, the red flags but didn't really know. Afraid to journey on, needing your hand, waiting on tomorrow, as it places demands. ~

Happy Valentines Day

Join me by the fire of a room dimly lit by candles, romantic music softly playing and there I am in your arms. Nothing exist but you and I and nothing can touch us here. You gently wipe away the tears and kiss my lips and I smile as I look into your eyes.

Happy Valentines Day

Tidbits

People are interlocking pieces of a puzzle, 
providing us with a glimpse of the bigger picture. 

~


In the Dark of Night

When spring comes a calling
and the blue bird stops to sing,
the world will look much brighter
like a chapter from my dreams.

When the angels stop to listen
and lend their ears my way,
I'll tell them all my secrets
and my wishes I'll convey.

When the day is almost over
and I close my eyes to sleep,
I will envision your arms and
that is is where I'll always be.

~
I really want to take a vacation by the shore this year. I have always like the Carolina's and the last time I remember being there it was early morning and the beach was empty and I walked barefoot in the sand and watched as the tide rolled back out to the ocean. The sky blue, the gulls squawking as they hovered over the sand looking for little sea creatures that were washed up on shore.
I had never felt so far and so close to anyone as I had at that moment. Like being part of the landscape and yet so vulnerable. We are vulnerable, we just don't always think about it.


Beyond the Darkness of the Night

If I just one chance to dance
upon the mighty heavens high,
I'd quickly reach on out to you
and pull you gently to my side.

Stars to shine above us as the
earth watches from down below,
while lovers embrace and hearts
melts like the sun upon the snow.

If I just one chance to dance
upon the mighty heavens high,
I'd quickly reach on out to you
and pull you gently to my side.

Moonlight to glisten over the river
with an invitation to you and I,
to find our most special place in
beyond the darkness of the night.

~
If you could see my heart,
from deep down inside,
you would view a reflection
of the love left behind.

Like a fingerprint where no
two are ever quite the same,
your love is very different
and that I wouldn't trade.

If you could see my heart,
from deep down inside,
you would view a reflection
of the love left behind.

~
Run and hide,
catch the dreams,
let the days
and memories
find their place
in your heart.

Waiting here,
just for you,
gazing out
at the blue,
wishing you
here with me.

~







For All Time

"Some say I'm a dreamer"  Spring is is not far off. February being a couple days short , I can't help but think I am half way through the month. Looking out my bedroom as the huge icicles slowly drip from the warming temperatures. Ah that winter sun and a hint of what is yet to come.
I am not so anxious to move around yet the house being relatively cold makes me just want to stay under the blankets a little bit longer. Yet I know I have to get up and about, make my way through the day. 
On my desk are many mementos, reminders of years gone by. It swept through my mind that I should gather them up and toss them out. But as I begin to dust them off, each reveals not only a moment in time, but the realization that none of us know what to tomorrow brings. The crystal ball is one that I can't part with, not for the usual reasons one might think. It is a reminder that we cannot dictate the voice of the heart. Exploring the emotions in what the heart speaks of as truth brings about a solemn sense of being. 
Looking at a list of movies in every genre, I thought why do we put ourselves through the stroking of emotions? From a range of fear, heartache, romance, drama etc, humor , all see to take us away from reality for a moment in time. But like the end of a movie, one ends and another begins.
What is the importance of life? I think to journey in the way it was intended from our birth and leave behind answers to questions not yet asked. 

To feel the love, 
hold it in your heart,
to remember to dream 
as you gaze up at the stars. 

Listen my sweet, 
no need to take notes,
each and every day
in the wind blows. 

You'll know when you
hear it and you know 
when you see the magic
of love that's taken over 
me.
~

There is a star in the sky 
a bird in flight, a dream 
to dream and a love that
is yours and mine. 

There is a river flooding, 
a stream bed dry and 
a story to tell that meets
you square in the eye. 

There is a star in the sky, 
a bird in flight, a dream 
to dream and a love that 
is yours and mine. 

~

I'll never say goodbye, 
no end will there be, 
for love like yours and
mine will last eternity. 

When the sun no longer
shines and there is no 
moon up in the sky our 
love will go on, it's ours
for all time. 
~

Nice hands...beautiful heart!

The only thing better than falling asleep in your arms,
 would be to wake up in your arms. 


~
Life has many challenges, where, why and who, 
but of all the who is most important , 
who we choose to allow to journey 
along with us. 

~
Hold my hand,
you've held my heart,
since that first smile. 
~
It is a guarantee that positive energy,
infuses a strength...thank you. 
~
I think you should never be afraid 
to say what is in your heart...that is
 why I promise each day to say
 " I love you"

Blowing In the Wind...

What matters and doesn't matter 
changes one's perspective when 
threatened by our own
 vulnerability. 

~
One thing never changes
and that is how much I love you. 

~
The world is filled with all kinds 
of insanity, if given a choice,
I would still prefer to be 
crazy in love.

Poetry

It was winter that had spoken,
I heard the whisper as it fade,
revealing the wound of heartache,
the scars that forever remain.

Embarked on a journey,
where choices were made
to surface above the darkness
to find another sunlit day.



Days like this when I am all alone,
words I write are just another poem.
Thoughts of you to ease my mind,
troubled heart smiles in disguise.

Walking around in a daydream,
to create the perfect love scene.
You and I in the ultimate embrace,
kissy kiss as we stand face to face.

Days like this when I am all alone,
words I write are just another poem.
Thoughts of you to ease my mind,
troubled heart smiles in disguise.

Feet anchored to the ground,
clouds passing with out a sound.
Life reveals in detail, the journey
as if it was written as a prequel.

Days like this when I am all alone,
words I write are just another poem.
Thoughts of you to ease my mind,
troubled heart smiles in disguise.
~


Good morning sweet love,
the words I sing to you are
simple phrases of my love
for you.

Good morning sweet love,
the kiss is to contain the
magic of the moment
forever and a day.

Good morning sweet love,
feel my embrace, warm
we share the moment
in our special place.

Good morning sweet love,
wake up with a smile,
the dreams are now over
and we bridged the miles.

Good morning sweet love,
whispers of my heart to you,
to remind you of my undying
love fore you.

Good morning sweet love,
another day goes by and
if you hold on tightly
will soar the heavens high.

Good morning sweet love,
wake up with a smile
for our love has conquered
the darkness and did it
with style.

Good morning sweet love,
I am here for you as I
know my precious you
are here too.

Cast to the wind

The soft fragrance of gardenias is a tease to the mind,
creating an explosion of memories once aloft in time.
The silken robe in paisley soft precious pink and a
freshness of  baby blue that makes one fall into the dream.

My mind drifts to a time so long ago, when I first met
with love and couldn't let it go. The heart braces for
the daily storm, while the river flows like it has
never done before, above and beyond yesterday.

~

Cast to the wind,
like the sea to the shore,
love to the heart
like never before.


Rainbows falling,
blue skies calling
and sweet love
when you said hello.




I love you

On my way home this evening I encountered a picturesque snowfall, it was one of those scenes out of Charles Dickens" A Christmas Carol."  That kind of stop and still back in time feeling that you get when life stops for a second. The temperatures were cool enough to create snowflakes yet warm enough to melt them into ice. The roads treacherous slowed traffic and allowed the time to take in the beauty of the freshly fallen snow. It was as if mother nature was causing a stir, so much so that you couldn't help but enjoy the trees dressed in white as the snow kept falling fast against the windshield. I looked and all I could think of was you and how beautiful all the seasons are when sharing them with you.
Everywhere I looked was a photo waiting to be snapped. How I wish had my camera as I spun around in various directions taking in my surroundings. For one brief moment there was no time nor place, barriers or distance, just the expression of what is. I felt overcome with emotion. Watching young love toss a snowball, smiles and laughter filled the air. The moments clicked still as I filed them accordingly in the heart of my memories.
Time was passing and the years so quickly had gone by and as I looked at my reflection in the mirror I saw a woman who met with experiences and dealt with the consequence of choice. Yet for all that has happened, I felt the spirit of a ten year old, who never ages and always views life from that magical age when all is still possible.

It's a wonderful feeling,
and a very beautiful day ,
I have love in my heart
and your a dream away.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

The day is over and
I can't sleep, your here
in my heart and there in
my dreams.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

If wishes were penny's
and penny's were gold,
I give them away if
your love I could hold.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

The day is over and done,
and all that is left is the
magic of love.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

Stars above me and
the clouds passing by,
with an invitation to
dance side by side.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

The Poet's Soul



What is this that holds my heart,
tethered in restraint? 
Still like the darkness, the 
feelings I cannot shake. 

I trembled from the  thought, 
it weakened me so, 
as if the night  cast shadows,
that danced upon the wall. 

The chapters merge together 
and no time can I see, 
for yesterday is gone 
and tomorrow is a dream. 

My soul speaks in riddles,
my heart can't understand,
for is it  responsibility or 
some awful written plan?

... and there my love you'll stay

When you hold a memory, 
keep it close in the heart
and nothing will separate
nor tear our love apart. 

When you hold the dream
from twilight till dawn, 
you'll find us dancing 
in each others arms. 

When you believe 
than all will come true, 
like the angels in the 
heavens waiting on their 
fair due. 

When you sing of happiness
and embrace it all the day, 
you'll have stepped in my 
heart and there my love
you'll stay. 


~

I ask nothing my love
for I have everything, 
but for your love 
to remember me. 

I ask nothing of darkness, 
for the stars will shine 
and just like our happiness, 
will be there for all time. 


I asked my heart to speak  the words,
words of love that have not touched my lips,
Deeper and deeper into my soul, to reach 
out and bring the words of love to life.  

Sing heart sing of joyous love, the passion
shared one to one. Sing heart sing of 
happiness, when two souls become, 
one , when two souls become one. 

I asked my heart to speak the words,
words of love that have not touched my lips,
Deeper and deeper into my soul, to reach 
out and bring the words of love to life.  



One day with you, 
doesn't matter what we do,
a stroll through the park, 
watching stars in the dark. 

One kiss from you, 
like butter cream sweet, 
when our lips meet 
would be heavens treat. 

One everlasting touch, 
slow and gentle means so much, 
exploring as you move, 
it's what love can do. 

One more dream, 
a romantic theme,
rose petals everywhere 
and two hearts share. 


Good Night My Love

There is a stillness to the night
and yet hauntingly it seems to speak,
the words to the heart cause a trembling,
as if the darkness has a hold on the key,
to the lock upon my heart that keeps
safe your memory.

La la la sweet angel, I am waiting here
for you , la la la my darling you know
I love you true. La la la sweet angel,
I am waiting here for you, la la la my
my darling you know I love you true.

There is a stillness to the night
and yet hauntingly it seems to speak,
the words to the heart cause a trembling,
as if the darkness ha a hold on the key,
to the lock upon my heart that keeps
safe your memory.

 ~
Loneliness is an Epidemic 
of souls parted by the miles. 

~
Whisper heart, whisper,
 whisper words of love,
send them to him daily
 on the wings of a dove.

May he find the peace, 
I am sending to him now,
from the kiss of my lips
to bring to him a smile. 

Whisper heart, whisper,
whisper words of love,
send them to him daily,
on the wings of a dove.

Share

I shared my heart,
he shared his with me
and that's what makes
this special, we shared
out of need. 

I shared my dreams,
he shared his dreams with me
and that's what makes 
this special we shared
our everything. 

I shared my love, 
he shared his love with me, 
and that's what makes 
this special we shared
it beautifully. 

I shared my heartache,
he shared his heartache with me, 
and that's what makes 
this special , we shared it
tearfully. 

I shared my hopes,
he shared his hopes with me, 
and that's what makes this 
special, we shared it 
faithfully. 

I shared my life,
he shared his life with me, 
and that's what makes this 
special we shared it deeply.

~
From my lips a kiss, 
passion and desire, 
meant for you only 
to set your heart on 
fire.

From my heart the script,
that wrote you in the lead
and is kept for all time 
to last for all eternity. 

From my soul the dream,
that holds you in the night, 
embraces with the angels,
as it soars in flight. 

From my mind the wishes,
that wish you here, 
to lay in my arms and 
forever share. 

~
I am not writing of angels 
heaven sent, the ones I 
write about were to 
earth sent. 

~
My eyes are closed 
and there I see in 
the dark of night
you are waiting
for me.

My eyes are closed 
and there I feel, 
the warmth of love 
that's become my 
shield. 

My eyes are closed
and to you I sing, 
good night my love
it is time to dream.

Rainbow Snowflakes...These ones are Red

As I watch the snow fall and look at the beautiful crystals layering upon the window pane my mind drifted and I thought of the old saying " no two snowflakes are alike." That would hold true for people and experiences as I believe no two are alike. Though it is true that we all have similarities in experience and in our thoughts and actions, the differences part the ways. Of course, I right away thought of soul mates. Exactly what makes a soul mate. Similarities were a part of it, the willingness to understand , comprehend , explore and the ability to share and the common ground in which emotions cross. But there is also a comfort zone and the comfort zone is knowing that we are not judged for standing and bearing our all to the world.
I was saddened earlier in the day when I thought that it was out of my control and to a degree somethings appear to be out of our control. But than it occurred to me that every situation whether positive or negative demands a choice be made. Well that seems awfully simple. We can alter any situation by simply choosing to do so. I thought hmmm... that doesn't seem so difficult and yet and I laughed as I out loud said a saying that I had heard many times " You can either be a part of the solution or a part of the problem." That just seems to darn easy and yet there was truth in the words spoken. Everything we do has a consequence , whether we choose to go with the flow or stand our ground and dare to be different. For all the tears that flooded from my eyes this morning , they seemed so dry and without emotion this evening. It had that feel of cleansing, yell a little, cry a little and get up and dust yourself off and move on. Dwelling on what you can' t do is wasted energy so I put that energy into what I know. Worked on products, made dinner and stood my ground. Today is like a snowflake, it will be nothing like yesterday and nothing at all like tomorrow. How we look at the reflections of the prisms of a crystal depends on where we stand. I saw the light beaming through and shining off the window. From this perspective I could separate myself from my surroundings. Hey! it was Popeye that said it best " I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam." The wisdom behind cartoons, go figure. I stood there for a moment , I thought of what makes me different and what makes me the same. I made decisions that put me where I am and I will make decisions that will take me to tomorrow.  I no longer felt the exhaustion that came with a long winter, I felt renewed. That one person understood, cared and was willing to make a difference along side me. It was as if I was given a strength like some super hero power which made infallible. 
There were many people instrumental in the long journey and I spent a moment or two reviewing those times. I wondered exactly what they meant and why, in general why do we have people who cross our paths? Of course some seem more positive than others and others  had quite the negative spin to them, so much that I could feel it to this day like a prick of a needle as it penetrates the skin.  I didn't want to think that these experiences changed me or somehow redirected my path. But in essence they did somehow alter the journey or at least add to the character that is constantly forming. Even the most negative of situation taught me caution and the most positive taught me the truth of love. 

I tucked a little lavender into
the cleavage of my breast , 
to calm my soul and allow
my troubled heart to rest. 

Relaxing by the light of 
my computer screen, my
knees bent and my head 
upon the pillow, while I
became lost in memory. 

I set about daydreaming
and wishing you were here,
wondering what you are doing
and remembering the time we 
shared.

My heart felt the warming 
from the infusion of love 
and I felt my soul escaping
unto the clouds above. 

The images delightful, 
like magic to the soul,
Envisioning your arms
opened with an invitation
to hold. 

I knew from the beginning
and I still know it now, 
that you are my love 
no matter the long miles.

Tonight I'll close my eyes
and it will be like no 
night before, for tonight,
I am in your arms forevermore. 

My heart sings the words,
your soul writes for me
and it is inevitable that 
we will surface from the
dreams.

Love has spoken and
I'll not deny that every
passing minute is like
fireworks in the sky. 

The truth is there for 
us to see and I knew
it from that moment
you first said hello to
 me. 


Red for love....








Poetry...a reflection of two hearts entwined

It was through your smile,
I could see the light of day,
the dreams we all have
and the energy to make
them all come true.

It was your faith in me,
your willingness to hold
my hand, it led me to
the sun on a day where
the snow clouds ruled.
~

You gave me hope
 when it seemed
that all hope could
not be had.

You gave me love,
when my heart felt
empty, like the fuel
that feeds a fire.

Every Day of The Year



~
I am certain our love is true,
it's a reflection of two hearts
entwined in the heavens blue. 

I feel it each morning as I awake
and all through the day until 
night makes its way. 

I am certain our love is true, 
it's a reflection of two hearts
entwined in the heavens blue. 

~


~
There is an unlimited combination that is true, 
the words rearranged all say " I love you."
Many poems are contained in the the heart,
the cravings of a soul where passion 
gets a start. 

Every thought and wish I have for you,
are scrolled in my heart like the clouds
which write across the blue. The pleasures
of life when two souls meet and the rest
was fate and the magic of a dream.
~
I can only imagine the sweetness of flesh,
your lips to mine in an everlasting kiss. 
Embracing the dream I hold you so ever 
close upon a rose bed of petals where
our souls are engrossed.
~
Feeling needy, 
wanting you so, 
the weakness of
flesh is beginning
to show. 

My body quivers, 
my heart is in a race, 
thinking of your love
from day to day. 
~
Endless words,
spoken from the heart, 
comforts and soothes 
even though we are
a far. 

My greatest strength 
is in wishing you here
and yet it is my weakness
as I wipe away those tears. 
~


The temperatures are dropping 
but it is no surprise, I am feeling
warm just dreaming you by my
side. 

Surrounded by darkness and 
yet I can see, it is magic of 
your love that lights the 
way for me 

.



My weakness is my love of you, 
for you are my every dream and 
my dance under the sky so blue. 

The things you do put a smile
to my face and send me soaring
to our special place.
