You

You touch my heart
and move my soul ,
as the love we share
never grows old.

You bring a smile
to share with the world,
the joy of friendship
a treasure of gold.

You made it so easy
to fall in love with you,
a gift of the heavens
right out of the blue.

You touch my heart
and move my soul,
as the love we share
never grows old.

Bliss

Open your heart
let the music in,
take my hand
and dance again.

I here in the moment
I am waiting for you,
as the sun rises and
the skies take on a blue.

Smiles that can't be hidden
teardrops of happiness
as I reach for your hand
and fall into a state of bliss.

~


Words express emotions
and tears release like rain
as I question the feelings
that in my heart remain.

Sunlight and darkness
both battle for the day
the stillness of the moment
has me betting on the rain.



Just a dream away
or a moment in the day,
every beat of my heart
speaks in its own way.

Images don't fade,
they bring you near
from the second I awake
till the stars at night appear.

The feelings quite haunting
and inside they are daunting,
as I open my eyes and
there is no one by my side.

Heavens

Lift me to the heavens
and hold me in your arms,
love like our is so special
it's far away from harm.

Nothing can tough us
or make it go away,
this love I have for you
is stronger with each day.

Life me to the heavens
and hold me in your arms,
love likes is so special
it's far away from harm.


~~
Raspberry kisses
a bear hug or two,
warm thought and
there I am with you.

Skies are cloudy
but still I see the blue,
the connection between us
makes it clear that I love you.

Smiles that can't be hidden,
dreams that make you mine,
a dance heart to heart
embraces the souls of time.

With You

Working on felted soaps ...stopped to dance on the porch. When I was abruptly interrupted with "who are you dancing with? Why are you smiling?"

Every dance I dance with you,
every song brings a smile too.
With love in my heart for you,
I dance all day through.

My soul knows its is true,
there is only love for you,
with you I explore from inside
the magic that makes for blue
skies.

The smile I just can't hide
as I have you by myside,
I am never alone that is true
for I am always with you.

I'm with you where ever you are,
here on the earth or the up in the stars,
I'm there in your heart as you are in mine,
we are there for all of time.

Every dance I dance with you,
every song brings a smile too.
With love in my heart for you
I dance all day through.

Shep & The Limelites - Daddy's Home, 1961 Hull 45 record.

This is the song I  that danced to at my very  first high school dance. But it wasn't until I danced with one of my son's friends at a wedding that I realized how important a partner was. I went through a lifetime  thinking I couldn't dance and then after that dance I knew that everyone is capable of dancing with the right partner.

That right partner is the person who is by your side and cliche as it is finishes your sentence , understands your ups and downs. That is what a partner is.  If I put the years all together like a puzzle in my mind it becomes quite emotional.I once reviewed the woulda,shoulda, coulda and choice may a part but all in all ...it is what it is.




I am glad you said hello....

..In My Heart

The stars take their place in the sky
as the moon beams down so bright,
you took your place in my heart and
you've have been there from the start.

The silence is broken by a love song
as the music erases any trace of wrong,
sweet, treasured words of heavenly desire
documents the magic in each passing hour.

My daydreams bring you close to me
as if I am living with your memory,
I can see you so very clear as if
nothing separates us but thin air.

The stars take their place in the sky
as the moon beams down so bright,
you took your place in my heart and
you've have been there from the start.

 

I Have You

I knew I loved you,
without even a doubt
from the moment we met
on those heaven sent clouds.

I knew that I had found it
staring down true happiness,
as I felt  the thrill of  magic
leaving me in a state of bliss.

I am not the same person
from the moment we met
as each passing hour
put my heart to the test.

I held on to the laughter
and I held on to the smiles,
as I use them to bridge
those never ending miles.

It is natural to want more
or to know what life has in store
but I am ever so  grateful
for our very own forevermore.

~

I have the magic
and I have you,
as I got the sunshine
the day I met you.

Sunshine when it rains,
blue skies to chase the gray,
that is how it happened
on that one special day.

I have the magic
and I have you,
as I got the sunshine
the day I met you.

Warms my heart
embraces my soul,
the power of love
is God's mighty tool.

I have the magic
and I have you,
as I got the sunshine
the day I met you.

Happiness

~

I wanna make you happy,
be there to chase away the blues,
Wipe your brow and kiss your lips
I wanna spend my life loving you.


I wanna hold you in the night
warm your heart and soul,
every night until you wake up
I wanna spend my life loving you.

Godly Plan

Rainy days, rainy days
no stars shining high,
all that can be seen is
the clouds passing by.

I looked to the heavens
as I waited for you,
in hope that you were
there waiting for me too.

             ~~~~



Blah , blah , blah , blah...


   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Time places nothing on hold
and yet our love still unfolds,
like a story written in heaven
from earth revealing the value
our friendship is worth.

~

I took to the air and
I molded by hand
as if this love was
some Godly plan.

I felt you close and
I knew you were near
as I placed your love
in my heart with care.

Somethings are passing
but forever are we,
as it is documented
for all eternity.

Whether I am here
or in the heavens above
remember that you
will hold all my love.

Dream

I saw you in a dream
felt you here with me,
shared in the moment
upon wakening.

The visual had clarity
surreal as it could be,
when I opened my eyes
I knew what I had seen.

There's a song I've yet to sing
and a dance we've yet to dance
in  and experience that we share
when my soul met with you.

I saw you in a dream
felt you here with me,
shared in the moment
upon wakening.

..My Love

Angels singing
from up above,
words of sweet
to you my love.

In my heart
you'll always be,
the place where
we explore dreams.

Walking through
life with my eyes closed,
to see the magic of a day
when you are here with me.

Angels singing
from up above,
words of sweet
to you my love

Everyday

Puppy tail wags

led to the start, 

as silly laughter 

took to my heart. 

Bit of nostalgia

focused on time,

as the memories

flooded my mind.

Left an impact

in the script of life,

when two souls 

took to the sky.

The world 

miraculous indeed,

when you said hello

reaching out to me.

May not matter 

to some

but I know different 

as I felt your love. 

No Scarlet letter for me,

as true love is meant to be, 

that is our story of love

written by the angels above.

Whatever the reason 

the tale is the same, 

as I felt the magic 

from that first day. 

You might not know

but I'll tell you so, 

as the love within 

continues to grow.

No comparison indeed,

you are the only one for me, 

unique as any love can be

when you took my heart

and began this dream.

..with thoughts of you.

My father quoted every Confucius says and old adage that a person could think of. One of them was " until you walked a mile in my shoes." It brings clarity to the fact that everyone thinks they experienced their own personal hell and indeed maybe they do. Though it can be  said " you can't compare apples to oranges" but never the less no one exactly know your experience unless they " walked a mile in your shoes. "
I always thought life was merely about choices but the older I get the more I understand how circumstance changes the playing field. Because when it is all said and done we still have to deal with the consequences. No matter what choices are made in life all of them will have some sort of consequence.
I am not sure if I am having a rainy day blues or a little to much time on my hands that the vulnerability surfaces. I prefer to replace the negative thoughts with positive memories and magical dreams.

I went about erasing
the chapters of gray
somehow replacing
with golden sun rays.

Everlasting memories
that set my path anew
and your warm love
that in my heart grew.

Reaching past the miles
beyond my yesterdays
bringing to the forefront
the smiles that never fade.

I can't think to hide
the sparkle in my eyes
from the moment I met you
I changed from inside.

This is my journey
skies both blue and gray
and as I move forward
I give thanks for each day.

Love I celebrate
the passion I desire,
the dreams I have
sets my soul on fire.

I went about erasing
chapters of gray
replace them with
warm sun rays.

The Night

Rearrange to this day and
the words still can't say,
no matter how I describe
what in my heart lies.

I feel the darkness of the night
and at this moment I realize,
two souls became one
sweetly united by love.

No longer stars in the sky
and the moon has passed by
all that is on my mind are
the memories left behind.

Just A Dream Away

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

Here I sit
like the night before,
wondering what life
has in store.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

Impatiently I await
for you each night,
that is how I hold
you in my arms with
such delight.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

My head on the pillow
and my eyes held tight,
just to envision you
as the love of my life.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

I feel your presence
as if you were here,
while I take to whispering
 how much I care.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

Watch the heavens
above us now ,
shining down on
with a welcome smile.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

Your heart beat,
my flesh so soft,
your love and a
moment so hot.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

I'll stay here
till the morning light,
I'll dream your arms
are holding me tight.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

Imagine your lips to mine,
exploring as we battle time,
from the moment you said hello,
I knew our love would continue
to grow.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

Don't wake me now,
just let me stay asleep,
so I can go on dreaming
you laying here next to me.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

My heart races
and my soul escapes
to the clouds where
we tenderly embrace.

Just a dream away
that is what you are,
just a dream away
beneath the stars.

...

I close my eyes
to allow my heart to see,
how beautiful life is
when you're here with
me.

Grrrrr shouts in silence.....



Take me to your heart
and take me to the dream,
where everything is as
it should be.

Wake up to your smile
be there for your tears,
journey through it all
without any fears.

Take me to your heart
and take me to the dream
where everything is as
it should be.

The Way We Were- Lyrics.

La da da dee dum

La da da dee dum
don't need the words,
La da da de dum
I don't care.

I find myself singing
as my heart goes on believing,
I find myself singing
you here.

La da da dee dum
don't need the words,
La da da de dum
I don't care.

I can go on dreaming
both day and night,
reaching out to you
make it all alright.

La da da dee dum
don't need the words,
La da da de dum
I don't care.

Sharing in my moment,
wishing you were here,
I find myself giggling
as images appear.


La da da dee dum
don't need the words,
La da da de dum
I don't care.

~

No challenge to where you are,
I am hopping on the next sky lit star,
that is how happiness gets a start
fly freeing with just the soul and heart.

It doesn't cost anything,
to close my eyes and dream.
I dream you here with me
its my first morning thing.

I feel a certain amount of peace,
like a strawberry creme brulee treat.
Sweet enough to tease the sense and
a pleasure that has me on the fence.

I carry the joy through the day
call it the great escape,
puts a smile on my face
each and everyday.

Passion lifts my feet
so much so I can't believe,
you can find me in the clouds
holding on to your love don't
let me fall down.

That is how I spend my day,
you might say I dreaming it away,
thinking of you all the time
that is how I make you mine.

~






The place of magic and dreams,
the thoughts that bring you to me,
from morning and thru my day
I explore different ways.

It use to be the waterfall
as it trickled to the stream and
then it was a  midnight stroll
dreaming you here with me.

In the kitchen I would dance,
visions of love enhanced,
as I partnered with you
in a magic step or two.

The place of magic and dreams,
thoughts that bring you to me.
from my morning and thru my day
I explore in the most unique ways.

~







~
Neither here or there,
I'm caught up in a dream,
wishing and wanting
I could choreograph
the next scene.

I'd make you my partner
and dance the night away,
I'd place us on the clouds
and with the wind sway.

Songs that only lovers sing
from my heart to yours
release the passion with
a gingerly amount of peace.

Neither here or there,
I'm caught up in a dream.
Wishing and wanting
you here with me.

...and I'll sing the song.

Play the music,
I'll sing the song,
give me your love
and I'll do it no wrong.

Give me your heart.
forever to keep and
I'll cherish it always
with no tears to weep.

Play the music,
I'll sing the song,
give me your love
and I'll do it no wrong.

Take my hand
it yours to hold,
pull me to you
let the love unfold.

Play the music
and I'll sing the song,
give me your love
and I'll do it no wrong.

Remember my darling
from day one to the end,
I'll love you forever
with all of my being.

Play the music
and I'll sing the song,
give me your love
and I'll do it no wrong.

I Carry Your Love

When I was maybe seven or eight years old, we were moving for the umpteenth time. Looking to take my toys and baby doll my mother looked at me and said " take what you can carry". That bothered me for years and I thought about that as I began to accumulate to many things over the years. What is important and what do we need and what do we really need to carry?

I carry your love wherever I go
and it's here safe in my heart
tucked away so only you and
I will ever know.

I carry your memories
filled with joy and delight
packed away carefully
for the rest of my life.

I carry the happiness,
the happiness we share,
puts a smile on my face
just knowing you cared.

I carry the dreams,
the dreams of you and I,
where I lay in your arms
both day and night.

I carry our friendship
like the gift that it is,
so precious each moment
that I carry deep within.

I carry the connection
that holds you to me,
like the heavens above us
on this unforgettable journey.

Nothing With You

If I could do nothing,
I'd rather do nothing with you.
Sharing in a sunrise ,
just to watch the sunset too.

If I could dance,
I'd pull you close to me.
Sharing in the music
no matter where we'd be.

If I could do nothing,
I'd rather do nothing with you.
Wake up in your arms just to
roll over and give a kiss or two.

Taking in the sunshine
with you by my side
sharing in a glass of ice tea
as I gaze into your eyes.

If I could do nothing,
I'd rather do nothing with you.
Listening to your heart beat
as we close our eyes to sleep.

I'd take on another dream as I sit
with you in that rocking chair scene.
Taking each moment with love
as we drift to the clouds above.

If I could do nothing,
I'd rather do nothing with you.
as long as we're together
I'd enjoy my nothing days with you.

Eternal Poem

Sharing happiness,
soaring the blue,
bold red roses and
daisy's in bloom.

Season on season
wherever we maybe,
I hold you in my heart
as we reserved eternity.

If you don't know it,
I'll shout to heavens high,
so that you may know
our love has its own design.

Taking it all in
with tears all put a side,
a melancholy thought
raced through my mind.

Time is limited
here within this form ,
so I request a reservation
where our hearts will no
longer be torn.

~

I am the sun's rays
to warm your heart
and the night stars
to bring us from afar.

I am the wind that blows,
as a reminder of love that grows.
like the raindrops that fall,
you have my love , you have it all.

~

If rainbows were slides,
I'd be there in your arms,
if dreams were real
you'd feel me in your heart.

If I could change my yesterdays
and make the day a new,
I'd choose my forever
sharing it with you.

If I could sing across the mountains
so you my love would hear,
I'd sing both night and day
as a way our hearts could share.

If I could freeze the moment,
I'd place you here with me,
so we could walk through life
as if each day were spring.

Everlasting Love

The hum of emotion 

wordless never the less,

as I release the feelings

that love had birthed. 

Whispers in the morning

are the only thing you'll hear, 

as they are only meant for

you my love's ears. 

Sentimental movement 

within a douse of dreams,

creates an everlasting

experience of two souls

that were always meant 

to be. 

Entwined in our forever more,

whether or not there is more in store,

as you are my heart and you are my soul,

bonded two to one as we begin to soar. 

Can't separate no matter how we try 

or divided by mountains high.

Challenges await us each and every day

but I accept the journey that brought you 

my way.

I know it's love we feel 

as it is so very real, 

I can tough without leaving

and move while standing still.

You are in my life

and yet so much to share, 

as I reach on out to let 

you know how much I care.

You can't fake the moment

as this love is so true,

from the first hello 

the sky took on a different hue.

Are these words from my heart

or words of the soul or have they

come together to express how 

your love took a  hold?

The years have passed 

but nothing has changed,

my heart still quivers

as it did the first day. 

I smile with the memories

as I explored the very thought,

that our souls had reunited

from a time that the Lord a lot. 

Meet up with rhyme

I have been to my share of funerals in the past year. Some deaths were people that I don't get to see everyday and a few were people who shine through my life on a regular basis.  In many ways it reflects on us and becomes a reminder of our own vulnerability and our limited time on earth. I tend to chalk it up to getting older but some deaths have been people way to young to be passing away or as it has been lately spoken as crossing over.
As I find myself guiding my children with unwanted advice. lol I think about my own path and that which brought or brings me the most amount of happiness. Happiness is the greatest of gifts that travels well along side peace. The moments we have shared have given me that very happiness smothers in a cloud of peace. When I dwell a little on it , I can still feel my feet as if levitating off the ground... upward.

Taking in the moment
expressing with a smile.
I feel your sweet love,
once more across the miles.

Special can't describe it
wonderful don't leave a dent,
I've tried my best to write it
the joy that is heaven sent.

To share in our forever as our
 love just keeps getting better,
so I take this time to tell you
how much I love you.

I love you dearly
with all of my heart,
I love you completely
from the start.

Brings out the sparkle
that is seen in my eyes
with a hint of sweet love
found in my smiles.

I reach through the darkness
and I pull you near
so that you're never far
for another moment to share.

Time might be passing
so I'll  document it now ,
how two hearts came together
in this most magnificent style.

Feel without touching
and hear from within,
the love that we share
will never, ever end.

~
Opened my heart
and I let you in,
felt you lift my soul
from deep within.

You changed my life,
as I began to feel
and took to the clouds
where time stood still.

Opened my heart
and I let you in,
felt you lift my soul
from deep within.

~

If the wind should touch your cheek,
I hope that you'll remember me.
If a song should come to mind
I hope the music meets up with rhyme.

May the flower bloom
in colors of every hue
bringing a rainbow to life
like your love painted my
life a new.

If the wind should touch your cheek,
I hope that you'll remember me.
If a song should come to mind
I hope the music meets up with rhyme.

From the earth to the heavens
and on the clouds that pass by
may you see the beauty that
your heart has brought to mine.

If the wind should touch your cheek,
I hope that you'll remember me.
If a song should come to mind
I hope the music meets up with rhyme.

Nat King Cole - Smile

Glimpse

                                                  ...as blue as the skies when I think of you.

                                           In the water or on the shore...anywhere that you are.

Somethings leave a lasting impression, 

like the happiness and joy that I feel when you are here. 

Love is in everything for it gives us vision that can see beauty in all we see and touch,
much like our moments together have given me a new outlook on life.

Life's Treasure

Nature's little treasures
are held within the hand
but its the treasure of love
I hold within my heart.

 Different place, different trees
 but the love I have for you is like
 the tenderness of breeze.

 Flows through heart
like blood through my veins,
reminding me that I'll
never ever be the same.

 Peace and calm from miles away,

 I think of you often like each moment of the day.

The sun lights the sky,
like your love lights my heart,
brighter and brighter
no matter how far.

My Heart You are Ingrained

Everyday is a bit different
but one thing is the same,
that  I truly love you and in
my heart you're ingrained.

Slowly closing my eyes
as to let my heart see
and there in the darkness
I find you're next to me.

You are my strength
when I am weak,
my laughter when
days are sad.

You are the sunshine
when raindrops can be had,
the feeling in my heart
that makes me feel so glad.


Everyday is a bit different
but one thing is the same,
that  I truly love you and in
my heart you're ingrained.

I locked in the memories

I locked in the memories
sunshine and blue skies,
I locked in the memories
of both you and I.

I visit them daily
as they warm my soul ,
with nothing but happiness
as the sweet love unfolds.

I locked in the memories
both new ones and old,
I locked in the memories
more precious than gold.

I hold them closely
placed deep in my heart,
with visions of kindness
there from the start.


I locked in the memories
rainbows and puffed clouds,
I locked in the memories
where dreams can be found.

I find myself drifting
to days long ago,
where you first took my heart
and had yet to let it go.

I locked in the memories
of soft silk and lace,
I locked in the memories
in a unique kind of way.

I found no barriers,
no miles between two,
as you are here with me
attached like elmers glue.

I locked in the memories
of the most precious days,
I locked in the memories
that have found their way.

Silk Robe Memories

Some see a story, a story of love
but I see more as our hearts became one.
My world reacted as my feet left the ground
and I knew I found you on that one special cloud.

Some hear a song, a song of love
but I heard more as our souls became one.
Something different that I just can't explain,
but it brought sunshine where there is usually rain.

Some read words, word of love
but I read the emotions that made us one.
The distance faded as the words brought you near
and I knew that we had a lifetime to share.



Send the blue skies and
add a little sunshine,
spending my day
with thoughts of you

Early in the morn
when song birds sing,
I take to my bedroom
and there I begin to dream.

My eyes tightly closed
and still I can clearly see,
the visual a comfort
of you here with me.

I'd rather sleep in
just to have another dream,
each one a little different
but all contain the same thing.

I see your smile
warm and wonderful
and I feel your love
as the dream unfolds.




~

Silk robe memories
seem so long ago
when you showed up
with that first hello.

Shared conversation
exchange or love 
as we took to the clouds
in the dance above.

Hearts embrace
as souls reunite
we come together
in an embrace of life.

Heartache, tears
happiness and desire,
the experience of the day
more beautiful with each
passing hour.


~

Experience triggered the emotions
that captured memories, creating
a story of how my heart learned
to sing.

~

Soul Connection

You sensed my needs
a connection if you please,
from one soul to another
as if walking through a dream.

No barriers between us
as you're a thought away,
from early in the morning
and throughout my day.

Something very different
unique in its own way,
the telling of a story
from the very first day.

~

No distance between us
as I slowly close my eyes,
I sense the depth of your love
through heart, soul and mind.

My heart saved a place
where you can settle in,
as our souls twist and entwine
my mind views the images.
~


The curtains danced with
the warm gentle breeze,
like a ballet of emotion
dances with your memory.

Haunting in away
with shivers from inside,
as I feel your love take
hold of this heart of mine.


~
