Tossing and Turning

Lost in the memories

and it was no surprise,

that the heaviness my

heart felt was distance's

crime.

 

Longing for the moment

this needy soul of mine,

hungers for the flesh

to embrace this heart

lonely heart of mine.

 

~

 

The smiles and laughter

the joy can't be denied,

like stars in the heavens

your heart is in mine.

 

The further the distance,

the closer we become, 

no doubt you are my angel,

my sweetest love.

 

 

~

Tears break the silence

as each one falls

spoken from the heart

it is your name they call.

 

Time quickly passes 

as I suddenly sigh,

wanting you near me

time after time.

 

~

 

This old pillow,

I have kept so long,

worn and tattered

it is still going strong.

 

I hold it tightly

scrunched in my arms

as tight as I hold you

here in my heart.

 

This old pillow,

I have kept so long,

worn and tattered

it is still going strong.

 

It keeps all my secrets,

catches all my tears

and knows of the love

you and I share.

~

 

 

 

 

 Just as the eyes can adjust to the darkness,

  the heart can see the beauty of love

through all the seasons of life.

 

~

 

It is in my darkest hour

that the truth of love reveals itself.

In times of struggles I seem to always visualize the image in the story of Gulliver's Travels. The part where Gulliver is tied down by the Lilliput. When little things are so overwhelming that they hold us back...breaks through the ropes.

 

Negativity is so powerful that it

can drain the spirit of useful energy.

 

~

 

 

 

When you know at that very moment that

you have been some how forever changed.

 

~

 

The greatest gift is in waking up,the sky is blue, the sun is shining

and your love brings joy to my life.

 

 

~

 

There is something about a train ride, well cared for rails make for a smooth ride

and then there is the neglect, rust and unexpected and that we call life's derailments.

 

~

 

The sky dawned in gray

a haze is left behind and

though the darkness dwells,

the sun within still shines.

 

Incredible the vision,

an artist sketch divine,

heart to heart collision

reveals forever in time.

 

 

~

The hills reveal through the ferns of green

that as long as we experience we can conquer all the dreams.

Sometimes it is a word, a song or a glance across a crowded room

but there are times you can't deny what was meant to be all along.

Tossing and turning all night long,
lying awake and lost in song.

I wiped a tear drop from the corner of my eye
and replaced it with the memories that cause me
to let out a sigh.

My eyes adjusted to the darkness of the night
and the void of your absence now seemed
bigger than life.

I take to the heavens to dance upon the clouds
and pull you to my heart and spin around.

My heart is filled with your precious love and the
joy my soul feels are what dreams are made of.

Tossing and turning as I can't fall asleep,
so I lay here awake wishing you next to me.
