United By Our Love

When the stars shine bright
and the moon rules the sky,
that is when sweet dreams
places  you by my side.

Silence belonged to the night
till my heart began to sing
and the words of our love
flowed with each memory.

When my mind takes over,
you are in my arms and
it is  quite easy as you
were already in my heart.

Like the dance in the heavens
where two souls are one,
that is how we come together
united by our love.

When the stars shine bright
and the moon rules the sky
that is when sweet dreams
places you by my side.

Within My Heart

I'm not as strong
as many people think,
on occasion I have been
known to be mighty weak.

I walk around in a dream
just to have you next to me.
To sense the magic and feel
your love in the clouds above.

I imagine your warm smile
and the arms that cross the miles,
sweet embrace that keeps me safe
in this most unusual way.

It might be crazy and occasionally weird
that I can dream you right here,
when I close my eyes and prepare to sleep
your love within my heart I keep.

Affirmation

When the stars shine
down on the river
and the night whispers
your name.

This is the heavens affirmation
that we were always meant to be,
The truth reveals that our love
is a central part of you and I.

When the ship
passes in the night
and the sailor waves
from the sea.

This is the heavens affirmation
that we were always meant to be.
The truth reveals that our love
love is a central part of you and I.

When the silence is broken
by the sound of your heart
and the emptiness is replaced
by the joy your love sparked.

This is the heavens affirmation
that we were always meant to be.
The truth reveals that our love
is a central part of you and I.

When  the day passes so quickly
and time no longer rules the night.
When I close my eyes to sleep
it is always in your arms.

This is the heavens affirmation
that we were always meant to be.
The truth reveals that our
love is a central part of you and I.

You Are My Love

It is uncanny how a thought, place or thing or absolutely nothing at all can take you back to a moment. How vivid are the memories that spark emotion as if a moment in time is put on replay. It was the appearance of the seventeen year cicada that reminded me what it was like to live without outside contact and the magic felt when I finally got a drivers license. There were so many first, the first time I drove into town and driving through a glazed sight of teary eyes. The first poem I penned and the first one I sold. It is incredible the passing of the years and the flood of emotions that have taken center stage more than once. The irony is as I look back I see situations, experiences and I understand it differently. I chalk it up to growth, am I really different? My sister once said " I am not any different than I ever was, I am just now free to be me."  On the contrary experience does change you. Maybe it is like being forced into a certain maturity. There is no doubt experience teaches you many a lesson. I feel a wide range of emotions. Part of me realizes the sponge that I am and how much I absorbed and another part would like to have avoided many a lesson.  Ignorance doesn't mean stupid, but absent of knowledge.
I always told my children there is no way we can change the world all we are capable of is our own actions and learning and experiencing and yes if necessary changing the way we think. It is okay to change as you age because that means the changing of opinion is related to experience and experience to growth. I still find myself in a few tear filled moments and in happy loved filled ones. I stop questioning the why of the journey. Obviously souls are placed in different places all over the world and it can be quite the challenge for them to reunite.
While tossing a few seeds into the garden, my mind took many a detour. I thought about how my world should have been and how it was for so many years. I found myself standing and shouting out in an abundance of silent screams. Like leaning on a willow tree to find the branches snap. When my daughter took me for a ride in her new car, there was a pride that she had done something that took me a lifetime to do. I am so proud of her, for I know the challenges that one has to overcome. Inside I feel like crystal that is shattering and pieces of me are everywhere.
Would my children know the sacrifice that I had given so there world would be stable? I retreated into another one of the gardens. That is what I had always done in the past. But this time the flowers and trees were also haunting me. It was as if everything was natures way of documenting a life. But it always leads me to you, for you are my happiness that brings the colors of the world around me to life. The sun is warm in an array of color and the sky free of clouds is quite the blue and when I gaze upon the heavens I know that we are ever so close. You are here in my heart and that brings a smile to my face. There is a sense of peace in knowing that you love and are loved. This gift is indeed priceless for the memories are the reminders that our love is truly an everlasting expression of the heart and soul. You had my heart from the beginning and well our souls joined as one.
Life would have been easier if there was a blue print or a guide of right and wrong and no blurry in decisions. It was something I heard today that surprised " why didn't I cut my losses?" In all reality I am just one piece in a puzzle and I had to look at the puzzle in its completeness. That is where I see you, as I can't imagine my life without you in it. There is a contentment knowing I can lean on you, share with you and yes love you and know that you can do the same back. Life isn't all peaches and cream but it doesn't have to be. When all is said and done it really is like the old adage" we are the company we keep." Therefore you indeed are the blue of the sky and every breath I take. Reaching out and takes your hand and pulls you close, kisses you and thanks the Lord for such a love.


In my heart,
there's a love
forever you
are the one.

Smiles I can't
hide, laughter
that can't be
denied.

In my heart,
there's a love,
forever you
are the one.

Brings joy
to my day,
where happiness
will stay.

In my heart,
there's a love,
forever you
are the one.

Close my eyes
feel your lips,
tender your
sweet kiss.

In my heart,
there's a love
forever you
are the one.

In my day,
a thought away,
only you and
you alone.

In my heart,
there's a love
forever you
are the one.

Changed my life
set a new a
journey where
I am side by side
with you.

In my heart,
there's a love
forever you
are the one.

Dedicate the Moment

No distance between us,
the miles just melt away,
the mountains to sand and
we dried up the stream.

Stroll within the garden
hand in hand with me,
capture the moment as
we drift off unto a dream.

The magic of souls and
the love within our hearts
creates a place of heaven
like dancing on the stars.

One to one together
joined for all eternity,
my greatest friend,
my love, you are my
everything.

~

Inhaling your sweet love,
exhaling the dark and gray,
my world is full of sunshine
when you found your way.

You unlocked my heart
and placed your love in me,
changed my life forever
making reality from dreams.


~

It's written in the heavens
and sent down from above,
joining our hearts together
and sealing it with love.

Take a glimpse of forever
with rainbows and dreams
to bridge the moment as
I dedicate the memories.

~

It is relatively easy
go ahead and try,
open up your heart
and close your eyes.

My kiss good morning,
starts each day anew,
in this peaceful existence
where skies are always blue.

Such a sweet diversion,
takes me by surprise
places me in your arms
through the power of
the mind.

It is relatively easy
go ahead and try,
open up your heart
and close your eyes.


~

Weird is defined as destiny... than you can be my weirdness and I'll be your krazy.


~

Souls embrace,
hearts set free
as you wipe my
tears and replace
them with dreams.

Feel the magic
a mystery of sort,
that travels via
the heart.

Souls embrace,
hearts set free
as you wipe my
tears and replace
them with dreams.

Many song writers have written songs with the phrase " a time to live and a time to die" but the bible is the oldest written book that speaks about " a time to live and a time to die. We take life and death so personal as if it is only going to happen to us but never the less each of us reaches that mile marker in time. The stories are ever so overwhelming and the emotions people feel span many variables. Life is so precious that I think we should spend more time on living than worrying about when we are going to check out.
Circumstance is quite like a spider which builds a web and entraps its subject. We spend a lifetime trying to free ourselves from the web of circumstance.  Whether real or imaginary barriers, we have to overcome the obstacles that make life seem difficult. I looked at my life and wondered how much was fate or circumstance and than again how much was left to choice. I found life pretty much like driving up a hill on a blind bend. It wasn't so much the unknown that ruled the moment but the ability to actually anticipate what lay beyond the blind bend.
I see the network of life like fine optic threads as we expand with the people that cross our path. Some threads weakened with time break off and others strong hold on in a supportive fashion, all becoming part of our unique story of life.
Thus it brings us to the chapter of determination and struggle, which somehow goes hand in hand. The more we struggle to anticipate what lay in the realm of the unknown, the more determined we are to write the chapter as we deem of importance.
It is not the usual obstacles like that of fear and heartache which caused many detours but indeed a few bricks of circumstance remain to be challenged. Holding your hand and walking forward.


With you I am
a mountain that
embraces the sky
of blue.

Like the sun that
warms the flesh
your love warms
my heart through.

As the breath of air
tickles the leaves upon
the tree, your gentle
and kind way brings
joy to me.

I have breached the
gates of heaven to
explore all that we
can truly be.

With you I am
the ocean and
as powerful as can
be as we wash upon
the sands our lasting
memories.

Good Morning Love

When the rain falls
or the sunshines,
in gray skies or blue
all of my thoughts
turn to you.

The blanket of peace,
the feel of your love
gently warms my heart
like rays from the sun.

The Masterpiece

Chosen images,
written to test,
while laying your
head upon my chest.

Creative design,
page by page
redirects in an
auspicious way.

Challenged moments
a journey a day
where soul by soul
we find our way.

The truth has a way of redefining the moment,

in my heart, side by side in a soulful embrace. 

To love is life's most beautiful experience,
love in return is a gift more precious than
words could define.


Life is like the petals of a rose,
as each flower opens in fullness
it reveals a view more beautiful
than one can imagine.

Without you there is a void where only darkness dwells,

with you a completeness that

only love can fill.

~

No tear is meaningless,

as each packed with emotion,

like a page in the wind.

Gift

Close your eyes

open your heart,

you've been in 

mine from the start.

Hold on tight,

don't let go

this is the way

a true love grows.

My gift to you,

is for you to know

that our love 

from the heavens 

flow.

Emotion filled

the words tell,

the story of a love

sick spell.

You are mine

and I am yours,

that is the script

of forevermore.

Nothing can change

or take away the

love that is stronger

with each passing day.

Happiness is what 

we have to share,

it reveals how 

much you care.

~

Feel the moment

and touch my soul,

hold me tight as

I'm no fool. 

I recognized 

from early on,

that you were 

my first love song.

Can't keep a beat,

melody is all wrong,

but I know where 

I belong.

In your heart as

you are mine, 

everyday is 

mighty fine.

Loving you,

is all I need

ever after is

my belief.

Feel the moment

and touch my soul,

hold me tight as 

I am no fool. 

In My Life

The Lord was listening
and I'll tell you why,
he placed you in my life,
to walk side by side.

I can tell you
that the wait was long
and time imprisoned
my soul.

The Lord was listening
and I'll tell you why,
he placed you in my life
to walk side by side.

No tears nor sorrow
in this life of mine,
only love and joy
this time.

The Lord was listening
and I'll tell you why,
he placed you in my life
to walk side by side.

There is sun to shine
when rain is falling,
there is dreams to hold on to
when love is calling.

The Lord was listening
and I'll tell you why,
he placed you in my life,
to walk side by side.

Free as the angels
in the heavens above
free is this soul of mine,
to soar for all time.

The Lord was listening
and I'll you why,
he placed you in my life,
to walk side by side.

Heart to heart
and soul to soul
broke the barriers
of a dream.

The Lord was listening
and I'll tell you why,
he placed you in my life,
to walk side by side.

My life is full
as full as it can be,
for I have your love,
sweet love, sweet love.

Without You

Without you there is no me,
for you're the half that
taught me to sing and I do,
I let the song of love through.

Without you there is no dance,
for you're the partner of romance
as we dance on those clouds
all night long.

Without you there is no smiles
for you bring laughter across the miles,
warming my heart in away that
only you can do.

Without you there is no me,
for you're the half that
taught me to dream and I do,
I dream of me and you.

...just two.

Silly laughter,
dreams of you and I,
sometimes I feel seventeen
and today I might be five.

Rainbows across the heavens,
arched over the blue,
the moment our hearts met,
the sun came shining thru.

Sincere songs of sweet love
heavenly written for us two,
sung by the heart and soul
a romantic dream with you.

~

Bright early morn
in this day of spring,
trees fully dressed
in various shades of
green.

Waking to the moment
where you are by myside,
feels like a touch of heaven
if only in my mind.

Savoring the images
entwined souls of two,
takes my breath away
when I think of me and
you.

Enbrace of Love

 My favorite thing about the movie classics, was that a whole family could watch them and everyone experience the movie differently based on their maturity level. Which indeed proves we never stop learning or understanding the experiences of life. In essence we may become wiser as we age or not but our ability to absorb and digest a moment in time heals not only the heart but the soul.


Raindrops to sunshine,
grays skies to blue
that is my world
shared with you.

Sadness to happiness,
the grim to a smile
that is my world
shared with you.

The heart breaks the silence and gives to the night a voice, rhythmic vibrations that to the soul toys. Through my eyes a vision, glorious to see, two entwined souls take on a dream. I can feel the embrace like an angel from above, holds me close with the utmost special love. Hold still this moment and never let it go, rids the world of darkness and allows our love to flow.

~
Petals of a rose,
flowers in the wind,
like a memory in motion
where a tale begins.

Story of the heart
written for all to see,
tells about a love
through the script eternity.

~
Blank pages await us,
as tomorrow will be here
and we will write the chapters
that only love could share.

Words without meaning
have no place in our world,
love infused emotions
are what you'll find here.

From my heart a story,
that my soul will tell,
captured essence
of long ago spell.

Lullaby

I wanna sing a lullaby,
snuggle close and
hold you tight as I
kiss you good night,
I wanna sing a lullaby.

Simple pleasures
between two,
just me and you
sharing under skies
blue.

I wanna sing a lullaby,
snuggle close and
hold you tight as I
kiss you good night,
I wanna sing a lullaby.


Feel your heart beat,
listen to the blue bird sing
replace that smile with a kiss
feel the tenderness of your lips.

I wanna sing a lullaby
snuggle and hold
hold you tight, as I
kiss you good night,
I wanna sing a lullaby.

Chapters of Happiness

I hold on to the chapters
where happiness is found,
written by the angels
on a passing cloud.

Where love is the title
and smiles are all around
and the sunshine can be
felt as it is shining down.

I hold on to the chapters
where happiness is found,
written by the angels
on a passing cloud.

I reach on out to you
to see me through the day
and again at night it's in
your arms I lay.

I hold on to the chapters
where happiness is found,
written by the angels
on a passing cloud.

I am stuck on the page,
where you are by myside,
your arms to hold me
till the ends of time.

I hold on to the chapters
where happiness is found,
written by the angels
on a passing cloud.

Tears of Emotion

Music is incredible as it can take you back in time, document a moment while triggering the mind and filling it with a varied amount of memory filled emotion. Listening to some older songs today my mind bounced around like a ping pong ball as it traveled through the years.  I found myself re-exploring the ages in less than an hour I was twelve, sixteen, thirty , forty and fifty years old. The songs touched my heart and the tears of emotion flooded from my soul, like a river overwhelming its bank.
I guess I have always been a dreamer as far back as I can remember. From being disciplined in school for gazing out the window all starry eyed to lying across the chenille bed spread and again looking out at the world that was much bigger than that which I was surrounded by. Caught up in those thoughts of fixing the world and yet through dreams escaping the over empowering limitations of my own place in time.

Music to my heart
touches my soul,
reminding me of
yesterday and its
hold.

Tears of emotion
race down my cheek,
filled with memory
that makes my knees
weak.

The child in me still hopeful
and yet I know the score,
fate holds the moment and
there still more to explore.

Puzzle in the wind

Find all the pieces
heart, soul and mind
put them all together
and look back at time.

Something is missing,
my heart knows this is true,
for I need your loving
on gray skies and on blue.

Half of a picture,
there is life to live
I need you so much
and I have so much
more to give.

The pieces missing
are blowing in the wind,
directed to you
that is where this puzzle
ends.

~



I can sense your being
and feel your heart beat,
gently kiss your soft lips
that taste of honey sweet.

I can feel your arms
that hold me day and night,
tender yet strong I rest
within them without a fight.

I can hear your voice
it wakes me in the morn
brings an abundance of
sunshine to replace the
storm.

I can feel your love
by touching my heart,
I keep it close to me
so you never very far.

I can see beyond the
skies dark and gray,
for I have you with me
both night and day.

Once Again

I watched the plover running
and the skies were all so blue
as I gazed upon the heavens
all my thoughts drifted to
you.

I thought of all the moments
and the time that we have shared,
the smiles and laughter revealed
how much you really care.

My heart began racing
as I dreamt you next to me,
feeling your arms around
in the embrace of eternity.

The plover started squealing
and that's when reality set in
and I found this love I have
for you took me on a spin.

Like waking on a mountain
and reaching for your hand,
losing my balance  I am
in your arms once again.

...another cup of tea.

I tried to sing
but the words
wouldn't flow,
tried to fly but
no wings to go.

I tried to see
beyond the gray,
I tried to dream you in
my arms today.

I tried to sing
but the words
wouldn't flow,
tried to fly but
no wings to go.

~

There are blue skies
when I am with you
and there is a sunshine
in my heart.

I carry your love with me
in the morn and when
the sky is riddled with stars.

It wakes me up each morning
with a smile on my face
and tucks me into bed
with a warm embrace.
