The Chords

Soft sounds of music
chords heart played
tease the moment
in a haunting way.

Vibrations of the lips,
hum a wordless tune,
yet filled with passion
and my love for you.

Here in the night,
darkness is abound,
embrace that comforts
is all around.

Souls together
and yet far apart,
walks through life
beneath the stars.

Soft sounds of music,
chords heart played
tease the moment
in a haunting way.

Days and Nights Mixed Up

I have got my days and nights mixed up,
the time really doesn't matter to me,
am or pm or the middle of the day,
you are always a thought away.

It seemed a little bit dark
the sun kind of faded away,
but it was no surprise when I opened my
eyes it was you in my heart with me.

I have got my days and nights mixed up,
the time really doesn't matter to me,
am or pm or the middle of the day,
you are always a thought away.

I raced to look at the clock,
and thought you were waiting for me,
I raced around like a silly clown,
mixing my reality with a dream.

I have got my days and nights mixed up,
the time really doesn't matter to me
am or pm or the middle of the day,
you are always a thought away.

My mind is a little bit scattered,
like a seed on a windy day,
I am here and there and everywhere
and you always right next to me.

I have got my days and nights mixed up,
the times really doesn't matter to me
am or pm or the middle of the day,
you are always  a thought away.

You are always a thought away,
you are always a thought away....

Momentos of Winter

When two hearts come together

it is the soul that soon reveals,

like a delicate rose in bloom

each petal has a tale.

 

When day meets with night

and the sky is dark and gray,

the sun no longer shines,

that is how I feel when you

are away.

 

~

I am never gone,

no not very far away,

feel the beat of your

heart that is where I stay.

 

So go on with your day,

enjoy it all if you will,

I am right there with you

that is my love you feel.

 

~

 

I was kind of lost in the darkness of the sea,

sent on a ship to sail through the dreams.

The night was long and lonely was I as

I was looking for you to be here by my side.

 

I thought to take the challenge and look world wide,

thinking that a tear drop would erase the quickly passed time.

I reached in the darkness and it was to my surprise,

you were never far you were always in my mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you look as far as you can see,

the view is more of the same,
full of my love for you.

 

As I gaze out my bedroom window and watch as the snowflakes gingerly fall to the ground, I am filled with mixed emotions. If you accept the inevitable you find the snow almost calming in a chapter that reviews days long gone by, while placing a new blanket of white upon the winter scene. Like a new rendition of and old play the memories collaborate heart and soul to breathe life into yesterdays thoughts. Happiness, sadness and a incredible ache that begs to be soothed. Tears of the heart as one dares to make sense of a long twisted journey. When our wants battle our needs and neither surface as a winner, it times to take a look at the path laid before us.


Snowflakes are falling,
this much I do know
another season  upon us,
no matter where we go.

So many chapters,
pages of yesterday,
some of sorrow
and the joy we celebrate.

I can't change what is written,
I am in the here and now,
so I wipe the tears away
and leave with you a smile.

`

 I don't feel rested like a bear in hibernation,

for without  your energy  I am an uncharged battery.

~
I have found and lost myself so many times
that I no longer no where to look.
`

My heart literally aches,
that don't seem quite right.

I don't necessarily think I know what tomorrow will bring,

that is why I figure I will leave it up to God...

good to pass the buck now and than.

~

 

~

You are the magic in every song,
the joy in my heart and you are my forever love

~

Listen with your heart

and feel with the soul,

amazing moments,

tenderly unfold.

 

I see the sunrise

and the sky blue,

the feel of love

in a moment true.

 

Distance matters very little,

for your love is here in my heart,

no distance can separate,

what was joined from afar.

 

 

 

~

Merging of hearts,

your imprint on my soul,

speaks the truth

whispers of days of old.

 

Searing the memories,

time makes us the fool,

we walk the distance,

through a tale still untold.

 

Embrace each moment,

and everything you do,

remember I am with you,

I am earth and sky blue.

 

Our love is so precious,

it's your and mine alone,

a gift to take with us,

wherever we may go.

 

 

Merging of hearts,

your imprint on my soul,

speaks the truth of

memories of old.

 

 

 

I

 

 

 

`

 This is love as it bridges a sea,
bringing your love closer to me.

This is love right out of my dream,
I am in your arms where I was meant to be.

Close and Far

Close and Far

AS close as my pillow,
is your loves embrace,
I can hold you tight
with the memories we
made.

As close as my dreams
is the image of two,
the dance on clouds
where I am next to you.

As close as the visions
I see in the night,
when my eyes are closed
I am holding you tight.






Take my hand
and walk with me,
through all of life
and every dream.

Take my heart
and hold it close,
its been yours
since that day arose.

Take my soul,
it was yours to fine,
waiting here for you
for all time.

~
With you I am sunshine
on the days of gray,
without you I am darkness
lost in many ways.

Hearts entwined,
souls embrace
as we join together
in our own special way.

~

One for the memories
and one for the dreams,
a poem for the magic
that brought you to me.

One for the happiness,
one for the love,
a poem for the treasure
sent from God above.

~
Almost the end of January and we have gotten our first winter snow fall. As difficult as life can be this winter had been rather gentle to this point in time. I am not sure what I am actually feeling at this moment. Maybe I feel so close to you and so far from you.

Close and Far

AS close as my pillow,
is your loves embrace,
I can hold you tight
with the memories we
made.

As close as my dreams
is the image of two,
the dance on clouds
where I am next to you.

As close as the visions
I see in the night,
when my eyes are closed
I am holding you tight.

The End Of A Rainbow by Earl Grant - Lyrics Below

When I began to write poetry in hopes that the poems would document the love, emotions, experience , memories and the ultimate dance upon the clouds. Forever is when at least one person remembers. I figure my odds were pretty good since I write every day, that at least one poem would be here long after I am gone.

Forever Love

In the blue of the heavens
and the warmth of the sun
life is documented and you'll
see our forever love.

Happiness is shared
and dreams the catalyst
on a journey embodied
by love and trust.

I keep you in my heart,
you're ever close to me
and when I close my
eyes forever records
the deed.

Truth be known,
souls indeed entwined
locked together
there is you and I.

Like a breath of wind,
brushed against the face,
love wakens the heart
and causes it to race.

Magnificent is the time we share,
a lesson of love reveals how much one can care.
It took this place called earth spun it all around
and in a moment of time sent an angel down.

My heart writes what love inspires,
voiced by the soul, it never ever tires.
Like a song of love, I share a word or two,
in hopes that you will know how much I love you.

57 Days Till Spring

Imagine a fireplace,
snap, crackling warm
I am there in your heart,
as you are in mine.

Just take a moment
and slowly exhale,
allow the visions of love
allow you once more to feel.

Warm the cold nights,
brighten my days,
as long as I have you
spring never fades.




Every where you go , you hear people say, " I can't wait till spring." Well, on the whole it means we will be 57 days older. When I look back over the years I feel like I am always running trying to get to the next milestone, season or just till tomorrow. Sometimes it seems as if winter gives us little to celebrate about.

Let Your Heart Feel

Ice covered roads
dangerous as can be,
occasional snow flurries
mixed with rain  make
our wheels slip at any speed.

The skies seem gray,
the days lack the blue
and you wonder if
the sun will ever
get a chance to
shine through.

I miss the flowers,
the butterflies and the green
of the trees and so I spend my
day dreaming, dreaming you
here with me.

I keep thinking about tomorrow
and sometimes my yesterdays
but as long as you are in my
heart the joy of life remains.

I wanna celebrate each season
as long as you are safe,
be careful my sweet love
you can never  be replaced.

When you get a chance ,
I hope you think of me,
I am laying here tonight
snuggling with sweet
memories.


Spring won't change the way
I truly feel for you,
I love you every day as you
paint my gray skies blue.

Don't rush the time,
enjoy it if you will,
close your eyes my darling
and let your heart feel.

Heart and Soul piano duet

heart and soul, I fell in love with you, heart and soul.

My Memories To Love

The dance upon  the clouds
an embrace of heaven sweet,
pirouetting to the ground
like a wind blown flower seed.

Laughter wafts through the air
and music from the heart,
words of love shared by two
under the sparkling stars.

These are my memories,
my memories to love,
where dreams begin
taking center stage in the
skies above.

One Hearts View

Waiting on the moment,
on that special dream,
waiting on the cloud
to bring you to me.

To dance upon the heavens
and hold you so ever tight,
whispering words of love
like a song in the night.

Waiting on the moment,
on that special dream,
waiting on the cloud
to bring you to me.

~
Unforgettable moments,
love that leads in everyway,
the dance where I follow
as you wisp my soul away.

Music on the strings of desire,
a heart that  blazes a fire,
time that stands still
and the capturing of the hour.


 ~

Louder and louder
a song of love,
music by the heart
and words of that
special one.

Haunts my being,
troubles my soul,
to curb the hunger
and reveal a friendship
of gold.

Louder and louder,
a song of love,
music by the heart
and words of that
special one.

~

Go on and cry,
let those tears
fall from your
eyes.

Filled with memories
let out all that
is trapped inside.

All that you've been holding,
your hopes and desires,
release the memories
love inspired.

Go on and cry,
let those tears
fall from your
eyes.

Reflection of the Heart

Snow over the hills,
a blanket now in white,
crystals flakes are shining
a chapter written in the night.

The season is quickly passing,
faster  and faster with each day
and yet the memories we have
clearly never fade away.

~
I came to terms
with my yesterdays,
some of sorrow
no longer have a place.

Tomorrow is waiting and
I stand at its front door,
knowing fully I have
no idea what's in store.
~

The fondest memories
are to comfort my soul
on a journey in passing
it is your love that I hold.

I close my eyes each night
and I lay in your arms,
listening to your heart beat
under the heavens stars.

The dreams forever bridge
your heart to mine,
as close as my pillow
that I hold in the night.
 ~
Your love my sunshine which
warms me through and through.
I waken to it each morning
with a smile that reveals sky of
blue.

There is nothing in the world,
that can take you from me,
you are my greatest love,
my every  nightly dream.

~
Mirrored through the mountains
and this is what I see,
the reflection of the heart
in rivers,hills and streams.

The seasons record the memories
and document them well
as they flood to the surface
from a never ending well.

~

I took my fondest memory
and I held it very close,
dancing in the darkness
with a love that still grows.

No tears in these eyes,
just a smile on my face
as the recorded memories
can never be replaced.

Compassion

Days are lighter longer,
winter can't possibly stay,
the ice and snow will melt
as spring finds its way.

Some things seem impossible
that there is nothing we can do,
but in all reality the sky never
fades from shades of blue.

~

Hello Sunshine,
I recognize you well,
the smile in the morning
the magic sent spell.

Snowflakes might be falling,
the days dark and cold,
but when I think of you,
I feel your loving hold.

Hello Sunshine,
I recognize you well,
the smile in the morning
the magic sent spell.







Compassion-
 the keen ability to see through the eyes of another.




To emotionally sense
or understand the needs
of another.

The conscious awareness
of a plight in a depth
that might go variably
unseen.

The willingness to reach out,
to comfort in many ways,
relieving a troubled soul
and sending stress on its way.

Until I Add My Love For You

Letters grouped together
to form a word or two,
meaningless on a page
until I add my love for
 you.

Thoughts through the heart,
love from deep in my soul
all comes together to express
a love story to be told.

Stands the test of time,
stronger every day,
special and magical
in a most delightful
way.

One glimpse at the heavens
and this you'll see is the
beauty of life when love
encountered you and me.

Grateful for each moment,
happy like each dream
from now till forever
our love will always be.

Letters grouped together
to form a word or two,
meaningless upon a page
until I add my love
for you.

Come and Sing Along With Me

The snow is rather magical
when love is in your heart,
no chill or coldness from
the crystal like snow stars.

The day is  much brighter
and sunshine is abound,
even if you have to look
behind those fluffy clouds.

Soul prints left in the snow,
a trail of where love goes.
From season to season
spring to winter thaw.

~

Fallen snowflake on the tongue,
melts as quick as butter in the sun.
Warm as one truly can be,
when I dream you here with me.

My arms await you near,
with a love that cant be compared.
Comfort and peace alone
have no idea what love has grown.

Seasons come and seasons go,
summer sun and winter snow,
but you are always here with me
if only in my daily dreams.

Millions of Stars Between Us...

Millions of stars between us
and yet close as two can be,
the sky a blanket covering
over you and me.

Bonded by the heavens,
united heart and soul,
from that first hello
when you took a hold.

Millions of stars between us
and yet close as two can be,
the sky a blanket  covering
over you and me.

Rainbows in the making
the arch across the sky,
where fantasy and reality
are forever entwined.

Millions of starts between us
and yet close as two can be,
the sky a blanket covering
over you and me.

Love that grows stronger,
with each moment of time
It gives a new meaning
to forever you'll be mine.

There are days when all is clear

and other days when I struggle to see.

As close as my thoughts ....

~

I don't like happiness and sadness in the same chapter

 and even less on the same page.

 

~

 

 

DEAN MARTIN - I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm (1959)

...to be loved.

To accept all the intricacy that the heart reveals,

is to knowing embrace each segment of life.

 

~

I don't question the what is,

but I do wonder about the timing.

 

~

Acceptance is knowing that your hunger has been fed.

 

~

As long as the soul can dance upon the heavens,

the dreams will prevail.

 

~

You cannot erase a chapter nor rewrite it,

but it is okay to review a few of the favorites.

 

~

In all reality there is no one piece to a puzzle.

Like a puzzle in the making,
most certainly you will see,
as the pieces fall in place
the picture will reveal
the dream.

Sway in the kitchen,
dance upon the clouds,
the magic of memories
lifts us off the ground.

I feel it in my heart,
I know it to be true,
the love we share
started life a new.

I hold you close
and feel that desire,
as the song of love
to the soul inspires.

Truth will let it be known,
our love is forever true
took me by surprise
when made my sky blue..

Scripted in the heavens
for all to see,
the reflection in your eyes
sparkle like a crystal clear sea.

Ships in passing
no anchor on this dream,
except for you my love
your sail met up with me.
