Voice of the Heart

It was there in the darkness
a quick touch to my cheek
and I knew I felt your presence
though I am still in disbelief.

Chills went through my body
as I shivered at the thought
that distance was challenged
by some unwritten plot.

I wanted to believe it,
I needed it to be so as
the love within my heart
was continuing  to grow.

Empowered by the moment,
where a mountain crushed a sea
and bridged the distance
to bring your love to me.

Contentment had surfaced,
peace from heaven fell,
when in the dark of night
your warm embrace was felt.

This moment quite special
I sensed it from the first,
when two souls were united
as one upon the earth.

Gifts of Love

As the gift giving season is rushed upon us, I found myself in the middle of creating our civic club tree for the local food bank. The president of the local garden club called and asked" What is the title of the tree this year? I responded quickly with " gifts of love" Spending a little one on one with my daughter she also brought up the difficulties in buying adults including siblings gifts.

Gifts of Love

I give you the gift of happiness,
to wear through out the day,
it matches every clothing ensemble
and it is perfect for blue skies and grey
.
The gift of peace is added,
may you feel it in the early morn
and have it spread throughout your
day like a virus in a windy storm.

But most of all I give you love,
to let you know how much I care
and what it means to have a friend
with whom my heart I share.

See With Your Heart

See with your heart
and feel with your soul,
the magic of touch
never grows old.

Gentle your hand
stroking my cheek,
absorbing the energy
that love brings.

No distance between us
as the miles quickly fade,
when you opened your heart
and I slipped in that day.

Destined Souls

 
It is unequivocally the truth,
that our love soars to new heights,
when tested upon our earthly trials.
 
~
 
Time placed a detour
the heavens redirected us.
 
~
 
Loving you is the easiest thing I have ever done...
missing you is the most difficult.
 
 
 
 
 
`
 
 The meeting of two hearts and the embrace of souls
is essential to the magic of love.


I woke unto the darkness
where the universe rules,
controlled by the heavens
the road of destiny unfolds.

It wasn't coincidental,
that our souls would entwine,
the comfortable that we share
was the first sign.

Heard your voice in my dreams,
felt your touch in my heart,
I immediately knew this was special
that a love surfaced from a far.

I yearn to spend my life with you,
to embrace each moment of the day,
predestined to be together
on earth and in the world that awaits.

My heart was yours for the taken,
no effort to place upon my face a smile,
the feelings that have taken over my soul
as removed any trace of time or miles.

It is natural for me to love you,
I am at ease when you are close to me,
for my heart is the place for you to rest,
it is where you became a part of me.












 .

* If you must force feelings, that person is not your soul mate. A true soul mate opens your heart naturally and effortlessly.

Follow Your Heart

To the top of the hill,
to the sycamore trees,
their branches sprawled
in what seems like a
dream.

Controlling the night
and making it our own,
where we are together
and never alone.

Follow your heart
and find your way,
my arms await you
day after day.

Stand tall,
reach out and
pull me near,
we have a life yet
to share.

~

My mind was working overtime
as I woke up deep in a dream,
I felt your body by my side
in a visual so complete.

The sun had yet to rise
and the day to begin
as I lay here in your arms
with this silly impish grin.

Snowflakes are falling in
this intro to a winter scene,
yet I feel the warmth of summer
with your love a part of me.

If you don't know it,
I'll repeat it once again,
there is no stopping this love
as I'll love you till the end.

Circumstance directed,
it happened long ago
set us on a path to
collide and grow.

Everyday is something new
with another kind of view,
but they all end the same
with me loving you.

I found myself repeating
the words within my heart,
they all started out with love
and you gave to them a spark.

~

Sings...I've got a song
that I can't hold back,
from my heart a love
that the angels tracked.

Finding me , finding you
together one from two.
No matter where we journey
there will always be me
and you.

I've got a song
that I can't hold back,
from my heart a love
that the angels tracked.

Finding me, finding you,
together one from two,
no matter where we journey
there will always be me
and you.

~

Lord it is no request
but a favor if you will,
to keep us healthy and strong
and from the darkness shield.

Time may be limited
and there is so much to do,
as I wait on the moment
to share as lovers do.

I know it is mighty special
and wonderful indeed,
that our hearts bonded out
of pure and simple need.

I needed to be loved and
you love me so and you
needed to hear that I
love you too.

Lord it is no request
but a favor if you will,
to guide us on this journey
before my heart stands still.




















First Snow Fall

I could spend a day talking about the down side to the first snow fall, one being it is not great for travel. But there is true magic to the first snow fall. The child in me wants to run through and  catch snowflakes on my tongue and feel the coolness as it melts upon my cheeks. Images come to mind of playing in the snow, building snowmen and enjoying the snow as it creates a new canvas. Yet the flash of images that quickly worked their way into my heart included a stroll, side by side with you.
I felt your hand in mine as you pulled me close to you. Our hearts racing together under skies that were once blue. The snow is quite enchanting ,like a villa dressed in white. It cast a romantic scene, where there is only you and I. I conjured up the image of a horse drawn carriage for two and imagined  you beside me laughing while I giggled too. My heart clicked and saved the visions to get me through the day as I see you in every snowflake bringing a joy to my day.
I'd rather go about dreaming, even though I am out of control. I know that you will have the lead and my heart you'll hold. Snap and click the moment, hold that image for all time. The passion that we share is of the utmost design. Created in the heavens, sent down on angel wings. Our love is forever no matter what the season brings.


Emotion is my soul dictating to my heart,
the love I feel for you.
 
~

I'd trade my electric blanket
for your arms any day.

 
 
 
It is the first picturesque sign of winter
as I watched the snowflakes fall and
I embraced the winter chill as it
awoke my spirit while putting your
memories on recall.

The hills are quickly covered,
they now lay in a blanket of white
and it doesn't really matter
as I have you in my life.

The skies are a bit gray,
no sunshine to be found,
I think I'll spend my day
lounging around.

My mind is traveling quickly
to the days of yesterday,
where you first took my heart
and removes all shades of gray.

~
Love is an essential piece
of the puzzle we call life.






The Stir of Emotion

I dedicate the sunrise
to the one who holds my heart,
from the hollow to the mountains
and far beyond the stars.

Brightens my life
with happiness and joy,
in a powerful moment
that nothing can destroy.

~

Cloth of silk,
patterns of life,
untypical design
heart raised not
of earth.

Gold lined,
silver brocade,
the quality of love
gets better with each
day.

Woven by the soul,
with threads of the heart,
a tapestry now forms
and is seen through the
stars.

~


Emouvoir

Heart to heart emotion,
no long trapped inside,
as our souls are bonded
and forever entwined.

Arousing all the senses,
the moment so surreal
as I can feel your love
like the rush of a chill.

My breath deepens,
as your love seeps in,
rapid beats of happiness
are an integral part of me.


~

and never....

Take me in your arms
and hold me close,
take me to your heart
and never let me go.

Stroll through life and
share all that it will bring,
from blue birds at my window
to the song that winter sings.

Take me in your arms
and hold me close,
take me to your heart
and never let me go.
~



Take Me To Your Heart

It is really easy
to share my life with you,
you might cherish them
but I cherish the memories too.
 
From the stroll by the stream
to a dip in the pool ,
we shared a lot of moments
that I'll forever hold.
 
The attic might seem lonely
the hills are quite empty too,
that was until you took my
hand and met me in the blue.
 
Dances in the kitchen,
car rides at night,
the list is so long
but it represents my life.
 
Simple adventures
where we share a moment or two,
like a lunch of romance
where I am sitting next to you.
 
Down the streets of the city,
or a stroll through the park,
it matters little where we go,
as you always have my heart.
 
No thanks are needed
for the time we've spent,
because I need you my love
till time comes to an end.
 
My love for you is never fleeting
for I have taken you to my heart
and all I ask of you my love is
for you to "take me to your heart."
 
 
 
 
 
 

The music played
and to my surprise,
it took me back to
 a place in time.

I felt you near
and incredibly so,
the sweetest love
in my heart grows.

I stood still and
I couldn't move,
memories flooded
to yesterdays tune.

The music played
and to my surprise,
it took me back to
a place in time.
~
Listen to the whispers of my heart,
they speak of my love for you.
From the day use first said hello
our love continued to bloom.

Time limits the experiences but
it can't stop my passionate love for you,
for I hold you deep within my heart
under the approval of the heavens blue..

~
Dissect all of life's experience,
separate the good from the bad,
you'll find the moments we shared
were the ones that made the heart glad.

Garden walks among the flowers and
a few down by the stream and
that is how our hearts came together
like uniting souls through a dream.

Whispers of the heart
are calling out to you,
sweet love filled emotion
speak of the inner truth.

Passionately spoken,
incredibly inspired
touching my life
with a powerful desire.

Through the darkness,
directly to you,
bridging the heavens,
arching the blue.



Love filled emotions
are calling out to you,
whispers of the heart
to you and only you.

Passionately spoken,
incredibly inspired
touching my life
with each passing hour.

This Is...

This is my heart,
I give you my heart
to love and keep safe,
I give you my heart
to gently embrace.

This is my soul,
speaks if you listen,
speaks of our love
on this cloud like mission.

This is my dream
to share in this dream,
the dream that places
you forever next to me.

This is my story,
the words that I write,
how one heart met another
and our souls took flight.

This is the rainbow,
that arches the sky
bridging our memories
closer in time.

~
Rose

I saw a rose,
its petals tight
as time went on
it opened wide.

Petal by petal
I could see
the revelation
of all my dreams.

Sadness adieu
only love for you,
happiness lay in wait,
as my heart no longer
breaks.

I saw a rose,
its petals tight,
as time went on
it opened wide.

~

It is not merely letters
that form a word or two,
each infused with love,
the love I have for you.

My soul cast the memories,
to reveal what's in the heart
and that brings the sunshine
to remove all traces of the
dark.

~

Right outside my window,
an unusual stillness appeared,
no winds, rain or darkness
blanketed the air.

The clouds hid the sunshine,
the fern green upon the earth,
lay upon the hills as a reminder
that every season has its worth.

The temperatures matter little,
whether warm or mighty cold,
as our time is  about sharing
and that warms the very soul.











Arranged in various form
words that tell what is in store,
plenty of sunshine each day,
as we watch the storms fade.

I reckoned with the heavens,
I noted it in many ways
the love I feel for you
day after day.

It might not be possible,
though try I may
to find the exact words
that my heart has to say.

Gazing up at the heavens
and I knew it to be
that love placed us together
through the beauty of a dream.

Soar as One

                                                 Love...when souls reunite
                                                 and hearts merge as one.
    

No distance between us,
nor walls to divide,
you're always here
right by my side.

Whether on earth or
the heavens above,
we take to the wind
and soar as one.

The treasure recorded in time,
from soul to soul so divine.
Nothing can separate two,
as our hearts merged as one
and our love grew.

No distance between us,
nor walls to divide,
you're always here
right by my side.

Warmest of Love

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.

Let me kiss you sweet
as our souls merge as one,
lips to lips expressing
the warmest of love.

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.

Let me comfort you
as you care for me,
take away your troubles
make each day like spring.

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.

Feel your skin next to mine
as our hearts are lost in time.
Rest easy I am here with you,
morning and night under heavens
blue.

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.






You're the Sunshine in My Morning

Everyday is spring,
when your love is in the air,
a warmth that touches my heart.
with each moment we share.

You're the sunshine in my morning,
that wakes me with a smile and
the stars that take to the sky,
like your love takes to my heart.

Everyday is spring,
when your love is in the air,
a warmth that touches my heart
with each moment we share.

Bringing light to the darkness
and a love song to the morn .
I wake up with a smile and
with you whom I adore.

~

You take the heavy from my day,
make the cold and darkness fade.
From the moment I awake, you
put a smile on my face.

There is no place for tears to reign,
it is your love that found its way,
lying deep within my heart,
that is how this crazy thing got its
start.

You take the heavy from my day,
make the cold and darkness fade.
From the moment I awake, you
put a smile on my face.

Like a dream above the clouds,
where angels sent your love down.
That is the way this story starts,
from the moment you touched
my heart.

You take the heavy from my day,
make the cold and darkness fade.
From the moment I awake,
you put a smile on my face.

~

My eyes adjusted to the darkness
and I could truly see
that you were here beside me
and it was certainly not a dream.

Holding my hand as you
have done the days before,
I felt your presence embrace
like the ocean hugs the shore.


~

Hum a love song,
let it flow from your heart,
wordless expressions
igniting a spark.

Feel the moment,
don't let it slip away,
I'm there in your arms
day after day.

~

Life

The past year everything has been pretty much routine. I worked the same events and trade shows and pretty much saw the same people. It was a bit comfortable but it wasn't until I worked Saturday in a different area, with totally different people that the adrenaline flowed. There is something magical about touching the hearts of people you have yet to meet. It is as if not only do I touch their hearts but they touch mine. It is like being an electrical sponge and absorbing the energy. As much as it puts me on a high for the day, there is an unsettling adjustment that comes with falling back into my home routine.
You have to wonder about life and the journey we are all on. It is filled with our wants, needs, desires and dreams as well as a large dose of struggles and of course the unknown. At some point I had to reckon with the "what is " of life. Where we fit in the bigger picture and what we can expect in the future.
I found that no matter who you meet they have an unbalanced scale of heaven and hell. Everyone faces it at one time or another. There is no amount of comparison as each experience pulls at the emotion within us. So heaven and hell are nothing but the tools of emotion. Some seeming more brutal or hellish and others seemingly more unfairly positive. Of course I believe it all depends on how we are capable of digesting the experience and controlling our emotions.
In a world where there is a cloud of cruelness, one has to find their own place of peace whether through the heart, soul or simply through the dreams that await us each night.

Stepping on the clouds,
waiting on your love,
like a dream so surreal,
in the heavens above.

There is something magical,
that placed you in my life
as you travel side by side on
this journey day and night.

Words upon a page fueled by love and
 a breath of the soul brings it to life.

Martina McBride - Help Me Make it Through the Night (LIVE)


Hey Pillow

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover , my darling
and my best friend.

Warms my heart
both day and night,
bringing joy and love
to life.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover , my darling
and my best friend.

Danced two as one,
when you took my
soul to the clouds
up above.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover, my darling
and my best friend.

Like an angel
sent down from above,
you rescued my soul
on this journey of love.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover, my darling
and my best friend.

Sunshine when skies
are dark and gray,
you sent your love
like a warm summer ray.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover, my darling
and my best friend.

.


I did a little talking in the wind
from my heart your love transcends,
like raindrops falling from the sky,
your love opened my eyes.

Blue birds passing in the morn,
reminds what life has in store
happiness is when I am with you
that is all I'll ever need.

There is nothing that can supersede
or take your place within me,
you are love as love should be,
my heavenly desire.

I did a little talking in the wind
from my heart your love transcends,
like raindrops falling from the sky,
your love opened my eyes.

~

Unlock the gates
and let me in,
it's sweet desire
from deep within.

Our love
amazingly so,
sent from above
to you and I alone.

Treasures from heaven,
are magical indeed,
they cast you my love
and gave to you the lead.

Unlock the gates
and let me in,
it's sweet desire
from deep within.

~
I adjusted to the darkness,
like my heart to the night
with no lights on I was
given sight.

I could see your love
embrace the eve and
feel your arms holding
me tenderly.

The moon brought us
together as it shines over you and I,
leading us on this journey
that races against the hands of time.

It must be from the heavens
as the lord look down on you and I
and blessed us with this love
to comfort in the night.

I adjusted to the darkness,
like my heart to the night ,
with no lights on ,
I was given sight.

I see the stars that shine bright,
they are yours and mine..
Distance quickly begins to fade
as I feel once more you tender
embrace.

~

Look to the blue sky
see the sun shining bright,
it's a simple reminder
of you and I.

Majestic beginnings,
surrounded by love
that is the glory of
sent down from above.

~
Sings >"Hey Pillow" I'm talking to you,
 "Hey pillow, there is room for two, "
  I'll wait till the end of time,
  till his heart is beating next to mine.

" Hey pillow" I'm holding you tight,
" Hey pillow" practicing in the night.
  I'll start my dreaming right now,
  falling asleep with this silly old smile.

Happy and Sad at the Same Time

To know you, to love you and to hold you in my heart
all along knowing time writes the pages.

Forever Love

So much has been written or sung about forever love. What combination of words are left to be formed to celebrate forever love?  My love for you is forever beyond the beyond. For you are undeniably one with  my heart and soul.

Till the sun falls from the sky
and the heavens no longer exist,
beyond this earthly form
like a breath of autumn mist.

I will forever love you
in the context beyond time,
as nothing  can separate
the two souls so entwined.

From the moment I awake
till I am deep within sleep,
you are all that is on mind
and always in my dreams.

Till the sun falls from the sky
and the heavens no longer exist,
beyond this earthly form
like a breath of autumn mist.

~

While gazing out the window at the fall mix of rain and snow, my mind drifted as it does each day to you. Though the view seems the same and the flowers have sometime ago faded away the vision that filled my mind was that of a full summer day. Taking your hand as you pull me close and we dance in a cloud like dream. Surreal the image and yet as real as the love I keep safely tucked away within my heart.


The image haunting,
as tears quickly arise,
I'm safe in your arms
if only in my mind.

I refused to open my eyes,
less your image might disappear,
taking a deep breath and exhaling
as the moment we share.

Across the rivers
beyond the mountains high
our love soars the heavens,
as we battle the distance
and time.

~
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna get out of bed,
I just wanna snuggle and
dream of you my friend.

I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna get out of bed,
I just wanna stay in the moment
on the clouds where our souls
transcend.

~
Seasons of Love

The rain is falling,
the hills no longer green,
another season has passed
documenting what you mean
to me.

You are sunshine of my summer
the many colors of my fall
you're the arms that hold me
through winter, until spring
comes to call.

~
I teeter like a tightrope walker on endings and beginnings,
leaning towards you...falling into your arms.

Took My Soul By Surprise

It sometimes feels eerie,
to sense your heart to mine,
but when the darkness falls
I know you are by my side.
 
The silence is replaced
with the whispers of love,
like feathers a float
comes the magic from above.
 
Our love is scripted with the heavens pen
and can be seen till all time comes to an end.
My soul knows the laughter we share as one,
from the moment we collided and bonded
out of love. 
 
~
 
It is really all around me
and it is everywhere I look,
your wonderful love is astounding
it fills the pages of life's book.
 
From the sun that shines each morn
to the moon that rules the night,
you are a vision of happiness
that took my soul by surprise.
 
 
~
It wasn't like I was waiting
as I didn't know it could exist,
the companion to my soul
that fills life with bliss.
 
 
Brings a smile to me each morning,
tucks me into bed at night,
there is no doubt in my mind,
you are the love of my life.

Snuggle Pillow

Snuggle pillow you are all mine,
it's that wonderful cuddling time,
You fit perfectly tucked in my arms
as I prepare to sleep under the stars.

I called your name in the dark of night
as my imagination was working overtime,
the pillow seem to disappear as it was
replaced with the love we share.

I couldn't fall asleep all night until I
felt our souls taking flight.
We took to the heavens high
and that is where we meet each night.

I am surrounded by the magic of love
that is how we dance in the clouds above,
I am falling into a tranquil spell and
you can tell by the love that in my heart
swells.

I am the luckiest person around
as I try to keep my feet on the ground,
something that is special indeed
I'm falling asleep to your memory.

Place your lips to mine ,
don't worry about the time,
we can overcome the rivers and streams,
the mountains have nothing on you and me.

I'd close my eyes and I said good night
as I could stay in this moment for life.
Snuggle pillow you are all mine
I'm  ready for cuddling time.

In My Heart

If I could rearrange the
words within my heart,
I'd start with the moment
you fell down from the stars.

My mind goes to replaying
the time between us two,
a script from the heavens
cast me next to you.

An aura of distinction
places us high on the clouds,
the ambiance so powerful
it surrounds with only love.


~
If I could sing you a song,
I'd start with your heart
and have you sing
along with me.

If I could make all
my dreams come true,
I'd wake in your arms
while you whisper
" I love you."

~

As the eyes adjust to the darkness,
there is so much more to see, like
the heart's revelation of what you
mean to me.

~

I am working with nature
to bring you close to me,
like sunshine on my cheek
touches with memories.

I packed my wishes and
had them soar up high
traveling with the wind
to the stars up in the sky.

Season upon season,
this quest intensifies,
to find the road that
unites you and I.

Snowflakes a reminder
how our love endures
and a pinch of spring
to have us beg for more.

I won't go about counting
the time we have been apart,
because you have never left me
you have always been here in
heart.

By My Side




The swing seems empty
except for a flower or two
but I know a little different
as I am always there with
you.

Sit here beside me and
we will share in the day,
you're here in my heart
and forever you'll stay.

The season is becoming
with many colors of fall
and with you beside me
it is spring that comes to
call.

The moments we share
are as special as can be,
for you are my love
and you mean the world
to me.

No conversation is needed
between these hearts of two,
we bonded heart and soul
and that speaks to the
heavens blue.

The season is teasing as
it feels like the first of spring
and I sit upon the swing
and my drifts to memories.

My heart is open and
there is where you reside
and there is where you'll
remain the love of my
life.

I sense a sort of magic
that brings your love to me
no matter the difference
you are in my every dream.

Come once more my darling
and sit here by my side as
we make the most of each day
and share what's left of time.









like a well written love

Two Hearts From Heaven




The autumn sun is shining,
the hills bright as they can be
and still a darkness hovers,
as optimistically we wait
for spring.

We can't control the moment,
nor stop the hands of time,
so I send my love to you in
an embrace gentle and kind.

The season and all its colors
has quite the story to tell,
but keeps to itself the secrets
of how two hearts from heaven fell.




Unlocked My Heart

I took to burning chapters
to set my soul free but it
wasn't until you unlocked
my heart that you revealed
you held the key.
 
My mornings are so magical
they make my world so bright
when I waken to a smile
and the love of my life.
 
I wanna share in happiness
and lay peaceful in your arms,
make sense of this journey
that keeps you afar.
 
They may only be whispers
that travel swiftly with the wind
but they are emotionally infused
with my love till the heavens end.
 
From the early morn sunlight
till the stars rule the night sky,
it will all branded with our love
as forever is yours and mine.
 
I took to burning chapters
to set my soul free but
it wasn't until you unlocked
my heart that your revealed
you held the key.
 
 
It is in the stillness of the morning
that I feel your love move swiftly to lift my soul.
