Our Story



Gaze unto the heavens
and you will surely see,
the magic of  our life,
led you to me.

Written by the heart,
scripted by the soul,
the words of love
quickly unfold.

Placed in the heavens,
for all who dare to see,
a vision of happiness
right out of a dream.

Stars in the night
retell our story,
your heart to mine
as close as two can be.

Bound By the Magic We Call Love

 
This night belongs to you and I,
though starless the moon rules the sky.
I find myself lost in your embrace
entwined souls dancing face to face.
 
Distance tries to divide us,
to separate what heaven sent.
The hearts of two merge as one,
bound by the magic we call love.
 
 
 

Love


Beyond the mountains
as far as you can see,
the clouds in passing
are right out of my dream.

The river below us,
the skies above and
all I can think of
is our sweet love.

Special Place

Directly behind the Tiger lilies the stream flows by and there is this huge rock that I would sit on and listen as  the water rushed on through. It was a kind of magical place, where my thoughts were free .Yet it also held and array of memories both good and bad. Sometimes you can't help but wonder what gets us through the moment or why we even have the experience in the first place. Sometimes it was the attic, the waterfalls or back by the stream that I could runaway and be as close to you as the bumble bee to the flower.
 
My mine went racing
it was with you  all day,
from the moment I woke up
till the moon found its place.
 
You can't even imagine
how far away I ran,
as if the surrounding hills
were truly in command.
 
I ran into your arms,
where I was safe as I could be,
where you held me close
both night and day.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 As much I love the flowers, they only bloom for a week or two and are gone as another flower begins to bloom. It away it seems as if time goes quickly as I wait for the next bud to open.
I had carved hearts in the trees in remembrance of love. Unfortunately the trees were taken down when the utilities were run through the property. I found that really sad and difficult to get over. It was a moment in time that grew as the trees grew. Than I found a new place to document my love.

I scripted your name
here deep in my heart,
seared like the heat of the sun
as it shines down on earth.

Written in the heavens above
for the angels to sing of love.
Wonderful as can be , just
look to the sky and you'll see
you and me.

Nothing or no one can remove
the expressed love of two,
for you are with me wherever I go
and that is a promise I want you
to know.





Hello

Stars shining,
mine and yours,
rivers and blue skies
and forevermore.

One thing in common
with all the dreams,
they always have
you and me.

Stars shining,
mine and yours,
rivers and blue skies
and forevermore.

No matter the distance
nor place and time,
the heavens twinkle
belongs to you and I.

Stars shining,
mine and yours
rivers and blue skies
and forevermore.

I refuse to complain about the warm summers days as we have had months of rain. With all the work that needed to be done, I found myself getting very little accomplished today. It was a lay in front of the fan kind of day. Oh yeah! I am lacking motivation and sometimes when I get overwhelmed, I look at the moment and not so far ahead. It has been such a long journey, with occasional smoothing sailing and yes a few hurdles.

I erased the sorrow
with memories of sweet,
remembering the moment
you said hello to me.

Swooshing the grey skies
and replacing them with blue,
sharing in the laughter as
only lovers do.

I erased the sorrow
with memories of sweet
remembering the moment
you said hello to me.

One More Poem

One more poem,
one more song
one more day
of loving you.

That is what I do
each and everyday
as I feel your embrace
in a magical way.

One more dream,
one more memory
or more day of
loving you.

Pillow

My head upon the pillow,
my heart there with you
as I take to daydreaming
of a moment spent with you.

Times when there was laughter
and when I shared a tear or two,
it all becomes the memories
that belong to me and you.

My head upon the pillow,
my heart there with you
as I take to daydreaming
of a moment spent with you.

Together

Reaching across the heavens,
to pull you tenderly close to me,
dreams are so very magical as
magical as they can be.

Close your eyes and you will see,
I am right there beside you ,
whether you are awake
or deep in a dream.

Day or night,
summer to spring,
we are walking through life
as if each day were spring.

Purple House Finch

 
The finch stayed year round,
it's happily as it can be,
it's wings all a flutter
through summer, fall
winter and spring.
 
 
Chirping in the morning,
it wakes me with a smile,
as the sun takes to rising
and I take to your arms.
 
~
....more with each moment.
 
 
 

Rainbow

 

 
Arched across the sky,
a simple rainbow displayed 
creates a magical sight,
that quickly fades away.
 
Unlike our friendship,
that stands the test of time,
stronger and stronger
reflection you and I.


 


Reflecting on the day

 
 
 
To the blue,soaring high,
when you are by my side.
 
 



 


                                                          Like the sun within the blue,
                                                            your love within my heart.







                                                          The simplicity seen in the garden
                                                        reveals the gifts a moment provides.



 

 

 

Stars of the Night

The trees left shadows on the path that love lay, their leaves seeming to dance in mass as if a performance was in play.  Reminders of the yesterdays when smiles lit the night and laughter filled my heart with a warmness that my soul found a delight. I found myself caught by surprise, as the images of you and I are seared for all time. Leaving prints of happiness and glee and like the stars of the night grace the skies with a blissful, sparkle of memory.


Soul to soul,
hearts embrace
a reminder of love
where time begins
to race.

Hold on,
dance with me
spinning in circles
embracing eternity.

I looked to the heavens....


I looked to the heavens,
clouds layered in white
and through it all a
blue sky and sunlight.

Wonderful, magical
and a perfect sight
leading my heart
to swoon in delight.

Close as the air
that we breathe
and with each heart
beat you're here
with me.

I felt you within me,
I knew you were near
as I reached to the heavens
we danced with our eyes
locked in a stare.

I looked to the heavens
clouds layered in white
and through it all a
blue sky and sunlight.

Our Love


Say it now,
repeat after me,
" I love you darling
for all eternity"

Dance my sweet,
you're here with me
just follow my steps
right through a dream.

Sing my love,
a melody so fine,
from your heart
directly to mine.

Say it now,
repeat after me,
" I love you darling
for all eternity/"

~

Songs of the heart and
whispers of a dream,
to kiss you good night,
sleep well my sweet.

Hearts together
beating as one,
that is the song
of our love.

Songs of the heart and
whispers of a dream,
to kiss you goodnight,
sleep well my sweet.

I Saw A Rose

I saw a rose
it's petals tight
and like my heart
it opened wide.

The revelation of truth,
layer within layer a bloom.
Close as two hearts can be,
a touch of love, hope and
dreams.

I saw a rose
it's petals tight
and like my heart
it opened wide.

The beauty of life unfolds,
the moment my heart you hold.
grateful as one can be
to view a love so beautifully.


I saw a rose...

Sings...

I don't need a rainbow
to bridge my love to you,
even when the clouds are gray
the blue comes shining through.

I don't need to shout
for everyone to hear,
whispers of my heart
are for you and I to share.

I don't need approval
for what I already know,
as my love for you
continues to grow.

I don't need a rainbow
to bridge my love for you,
even when the clouds are gray,
the blue comes shining through.

Treat Her Gently

The song was a favorite of mine way before I had any idea of what the future would hold.  The first time I heard it, I was in my teens and sitting on the porch of my sisters house as she was singing it. The irony is a song that she loved to sing about growing old together would never be a reality for her. I said she had the" Marilyn Monroe Effect" she would always be young and beautiful, never aging and that is the last image I have of her. Her long blonde hair, amazing smile as she mesmerized those around her.
 While sitting outside watching the birds and enjoying the flowers my mind drifts to the rocking chair image of growing old gracefully together. Two people together as one spirit, taking in the moment with peaceful thoughts of happiness. The visual can calm the restlessness within me.

Enjoying the quiet
and missing you so,
as I watch the hummingbird
put on an aerial show.

Sitting here alone
it is how it seems to be,
except this is quite different
as you are here with me.

You're always in my heart
and always on my mind,
as I share this moment,
you are always by myside.


Wings/Paul McCartney - Treat Her Gently (Lonely Old People)









Dating myself but a favorite song of mine.

...and a page turns.

                                                


Break the glass,shattered pieces,
flesh to flesh with nothing between
us.

Hearts open and spirits free,
soars the heavens through nightly
dreams.

Embrace the moment in which we
share, our love reveals how much
we care.

Waking Up Happy

Waking up happy
while singing like a lark,
everything is so darn perfect
when I hold you in my heart.

The sunshine in my morning
the blue skies in my day and
when night falls you're the
stars that brighten the way.

Waking up happy
while singing like a lark,
everything is so darn perfect
when I hold you in my heart.

The sweet joy of life
when we stop to share,
touching soul to soul
the answer to our prayers.
