Joy and Love

I knew it from the start
as I felt it in my heart,
the joy and love you
always bring to me.

One look into your eyes
it's certainly no surprises
the sparkle bright reveals
all that we can be.

We are heart and soul
bonded like the finest gold,
the treasure of love
is a true breath of spring.

My arms open wide
as I drift with the mind,
to place of love where
dreams make you mine.




.

Gold Dust

I felt the stillness,
if stillness can be felt
like a canvas of the hills
without movement of a clock.

I whispered in the silence
to a migrating flock ,
take north the words of love
from my heart unlocked.

Journey with great speed
and soar the heavens high,
over rivers and mountains
with a lifetimes supply.

Share the morning and
the moon and stars at night ,
through the words of love
as the birds in flight arrive.

It's in everything you see
and all that you touch,
as my love for you is
sprinkled like gold dust.

Gonna Love You

Gonna listen to the angels sing
and gonna follow that dream
take it to the heavens and
write my forevermore.

Gonna live by the moment
and I'm gonna let you know it,
that this love I have for you
can't be ignored.

Gonna listen to the angels sing
and gonna follow that dream
take it to the heavens and
write my forevermore.

With You

Cooler morning and
the sky a cloudless blue,
as I spin in the hollow
my heart is there with you.

High and higher
my feet off the ground,
my soul soaring and
to your arms I'm found.

Cooler morning and
the sky a cloudless blue,
as I spin in the hollow
my heart is there with you.

The flowers all in bloom
and butterflies in flight,
a visual complete when
you are by my side.

Cooler morning and

the sky a cloudless blue,

as I spin in the hollow 

my heart is there with you

Can't Help Falling In Love With You - Haley Reinhart (lyrics)

I woke up to this song   I thought this was a pretty version of the song.









 Reached for your hand and found your heart.

Forever and ever amen

I am blessed by the moment,
by your laughter and smiles
the joy of sweet love like
the dance upon the clouds.

This chapter was written
and formed out of need,
as you took me to your heart
and made me believe.

Peaceful tranquility
and a zestful way,
as I know we're together
and inseparable to this day.

I treasure every thought
that places you in my arms
and relieves the ache that
was once in my heart.

Honey I'm home 

I'm there in your heart,

feel the warmth that

was there from the start.

Incredible visions 

two souls bonded as one, 

and the miracle of the moment

that brought me your love.

I will always love you
no one can take that away,
your each breath I take
the sunshine in my day.

Each moment without you
is filled with pain ,
so I take to dreaming
so I'm in your arms to lay.

I glanced up at the heavens 

at the stars shining bright, 

knowing very well they'll

shine down on you tonight.

The clouds in passing 

carry my love to you, 

as I made a wish and

to the heavens blew.

My head upon the pillow

and my eyes now closed

as I begin to dream 

the ache for you grows.

My wants are not many 

as I reach on out to you, 

to feel the kindness of

your love through and 

through.

I ventured both near far, 

traveling both soul and heart, 

precious times between two

as I bonded with you,

Simple pleasures of sweet

just in thought and dreams,

find me close to you 

under the heavens blue.

To the heavens

beyond the stars,

cherished love 

from afar.

Endless dreams

are deeply etched,

with the visions 

of you and I.

Precious moments

we have shared,

like a treasure 

from one who cares.

To the heavens

beyond the stars,

cherished love 

from afar.

Take Me to Your Arms

It is one of those mornings where I woke up tired. I don't mean tired needing more sleep nor exhaustion. Maybe it was having a weekend away from the normal routine. My daughter said I miss having the stream outback, where you can go down to the water and sit and gather your thoughts and like blowing in the wind , clear your mind. After my usual morning chores, I did just that . Walked through the garden and gathered some flowers for the vase an walked through the stream. We had a heavy storm last night that brought down quite a bit of rain and yet the stream was so clear as if the rain never fell. I walked through the water and watched as the fish darted and the tadpoles took cover under rocks and logs. Like a sponge that can take positive energy we can also take on negative energy from the people around us. It is one of those days where I am running but my feet aren't moving or screaming in silence. Maybe you need to …

Take me to your arms
hold me in your heart,
don't ever let me go
you must know I love
you so.

Sweet and tender embrace
from my soul I trace
the warmth of your love
in the heavens above.

Take me to your arms 

hold me in your heart,

don't ever let me go

you must know I love 

you so.

You're the rainbow high

and the blue in my sky,

the stars in my night 

and the love of my life.

Take me to your arms 

hold me in your heart,

don't ever let me go

you must know I love 

you so.

Meet me on the clouds
and lovingly hold on tight ,
dance with heart and soul
for love and life.

Embrace each moment
for time is moving on ,
and listen to the music of
a well written love song.

Treasure the gifts of love
precious as can be,
it can unite soul to soul
with just a dream.

~

Hand to the air
interlocked with yours,
pulling you close
in an embrace amore.

Eyes closed
to allow the heart to see,
the visions of happiness
you with me.

Exhaling slowly
a breath of love we share,
when you reached out
I knew that you cared.

~

I watched the finches feeding
and listened with delight,
as I escaped for one moment
from this battle we call life.

No worries or sorrow
nor heartache and woe,
as this place we share
only love and joy may go.
~

I strolled about the gardens
with the flowers in bloom,
wishing on the night sky
all my thoughts drifted to you.

To dance upon the heavens
in an eternal embrace and
while sharing a sweet kiss
in this our special place.

~
Life is filled with chapters
and a few I could adieu
as I hold on to the one that
celebrates the love of me
and you.

Written deep within the heart
it cleverly cast me next to you
where the dreams of  sweet love
are certain to come true.

~

Outside my window
no stars were in sight,
behind the clouds I
knew they still shined
bright.

The wind is blowing
the clouds are passing by,
I tucked in a few kisses
to touch you from inside.

~

Wake to your kisses in
a sweet morning delight
and a few more while
saying good night.

I treasure each moment
from sunrise to sunset,
as I close my eyes and
heart and soul invest.

Wake to your kisses in
a sweet morning delight
and a few more while
saying good night.

Friendship

Framing doily's for the art show in September. I couldn't help but think of some of the amazing gifts of friendship. Of course all that you mean cannot be put into a few words. I am tired this evening, maybe a bit to tired as my head hurts. I treasure every hello, good morning and smiles that surface with each new day. I am grateful for you.

Threads are woven
in a doily like lace,
stitch by stitch in
a variety of shapes.

Floral to sunburst from
the finest cotton threads,
each stitch looped from
begging to the end.

Like your love
entwined from the start
forever found a place
here within my heart.









































Delicate and beautiful,
the interlocking stitch,
woven threads of friendship
that form a precious gift.

Patience, peace and happiness
and kindness all looped through,
formed a simple laced doily
from my heart to you.

Sweet Embrace

In the garden a flower blooms,
atop the hill the willow bends,
a gentle wind through the trees
crackles a sound of whispering.

The beauty can't be denied,
like gazing up at the blue sky,
from my heart to yours a view
of the greatest love I ever knew.

Just a wish , day or dream away,
that is the magic that I celebrate.
Documenting for all of time
I write the words that make you
mine.




.


My heart broke the silence
with thoughts and dreams,
trying to understand what
this life of mine means.

Under the spiraling Elm
to the heavens high,
I gazed upon the blue
as I traveled through time.

I stopped at the chapter
and there I reviewed,
the magic of love and
what love can do.

Lifts my spirit,
touches my very heart,
breathes happiness into this life
from near and afar.

I take this moment
to document the day,
you came into my life
as it has never been the same.

Believe

My darling, my baby,
and my honey sweet,
gently touched my heart
and made me believe.

In the power of a moment
and the joy of our love,
when two come together
and unite forever as one.

The mountains fade
and the rivers run dry
but the magic of your love
rises above the oceans tide.

Battle between the
earth, moon and sun,
we rise to the occasion
with our own kind of love.

My darling, my baby, 

and my honey sweet, 

gently touched my heart 

and made me believe. 

~

Hold my hand
my heart is already yours,
reach out and touch
as I beg for more.

The sky is blue
filled with dreams of you,
from the moment I fall asleep
till awake with you next to me.

No pinching allowed,
be gentle with me,
I am caught up in the dream
in your arms where I should be.

Hold my hand
my heart is already yours,
reach out and touch
as I beg for more.

~

There is no script to follow
as I'm taking this on cue,
waiting on the moment
for you to see it through.

Loving you is easier
with each passing day,
as I hold you in my heart
in a loving way.

There is no script to follow
as I'm taking this on cue,
waiting on the moment
for you to see it through.


~

I'm gonna close my eyes
and allow my heart to see,
the view quite special
as I used my memory.

Over powered by the moment
with a joy from inside
whispers of love
that makes you mine.

~

Love conquers a mountain
and it takes on the sea,
challenges each day
to bring you to me.

Embrace in the heavens
and falling back to earth,
our love is special
it's a moment rebirthed.

Love conquers a mountain
and it takes on the sea,
challenges each day
to bring you to me.

Bended Knee

I took it up with the heavens
as I kneeled on bended knee,
pleaded for that first moment
when you appeared to me.

I found myself excited
as if I were once more sixteen,
while gazing at the stars
with the fondest memories.

I took it up with the heavens

as I kneeled on bended knee, 

pleaded for that first moment 

when you appeared to me.

My feet suddenly a drift
seem to hover above the ground
in a circle of everlasting love
going around and round.

I took it up with the heavens

as I kneeled on bended knee, 

pleaded for that first moment 

when you appeared to me.

The heavens were gracious
as they sent your love on down
and I am forever grateful
for the passing of the clouds.

I took it up with the heavens

as I kneeled on bended knee, 

pleaded for that first moment 

when you appeared to me.

Blue skies and sunshine

and stars that shine at night

all are quite special as they

blanket as one to unite.

I took it up with the heavens

as I kneeled on bended knee, 

pleaded for that first moment 

when you appeared to me.

From my heart to yours are
the dreams of forevermore,
hurdling rivers and mountains
to reach out to you for more.

I took it up with the heavens

as I kneeled on bended knee, 

pleaded for that first moment 

when you appeared to me.

I will always love you
as you became a part of me
and I reckon that the story
is titled after "Eternity."

I took it up with the heavens

as I kneeled on bended knee, 

pleaded for that first moment 

when you appeared to me.

Every Thought

It is what is seen through the heart 

that lights the way. 

~

Some wish to turn back the hands of time,

I wish to freeze time when I'm in your arms.

~

I'd rather do nothing with you 

than something with everyone else.

~

Love is not a word written upon a page,

it is that which touches my heart while embracing my soul.

~

There is never an ending for your love

 it grows stronger and stronger within my very being. 

~

It's not necessarily words upon a page,

but those that are written from the heart and scripted to the soul.

~

Have you ever wondered " why now?"

~
Honey sweet kisses
and hugs for life
nourishes the soul
jump starting without
a fight.

No obstacles between us
you're a thought away,
mountains mean nothing
like grains of sand it fades.

Magic

There is a magic to this world,
when I look around and see
that everything is filled 
with the love of you and me. 

From raindrops to sunshine, 
each season is so divine 
the most amazing energy 
flows through you and me 

Honey sweet to my lips
with just a dream of your kiss,
bringing joy to my day
as I send my love your way.

The soul like images transpire
as two spirits join in the hour,
with a sense of tranquilities
that calm the restlessness in me.

Inseparable are we for you are
 every thought and memory,
with every breath I take
I feel you inside of me.

From the moment I awake
there is not a moment to waste,
I wanna share with you
whether gray skies or blue.

The bond is ever strong
as in your arms is where I belong,
I know it to be true
with the first words " I love you."

From simple thin air
your touch is felt here,
as I close my eyes once more
I see you the one I adore.

I thought it must be a dream
don't pinch or wake me,
as I dance in your arms
and you dance here in my heart.

The Soul's Embrace

                        Touch the heart, embrace the soul, lift my spirit...as dreams unfold. 


There is a stillness in the hollow,
as the birds no longer sing and 
the wind makes no appearance
of the storms last passing. 

The sky takes on a powder blue
like a blanket high in the air,
as a reminder of the love
you and I have yet to share.

My heart knows the connection
beyond the river and the sea,
that joined without apprehension
to unite soul to soul for eternity.


~
I whispered to the wind
"which direction will you go?"
and the wind responded
" only one way shall I blow"

" Take my love and to his lips
leave upon them my tender kiss"
The wind responded with a subtle breeze
" I will send your love, if it shall please."

The seconds pass and the hours fade
and the touch of love still remains.
Deeper and deeper within my very heart
where love grew and got its start.

One tears swells and surely falls
as the ache within says it all,
to feel the warmth of your tender touch
and taste the sweetness of your pure love.

I stopped, I glanced as if in a dream
the mere thought of you brought joy to me,
the merriment within my heart
brought your happiness from afar.

Call it magic or special indeed
that lifts my spirit from its knee,
brightens my very day and guides
by love in its own way.

I whispered to the wind 

"which direction will you go?"

and the wind responded 

" only one way shall I blow"

Forevermore

One of the first questions you are asked as a child or a teenager is " what do you like?" Some people seem to know that from the very beginning and they say " when I grow up I wanna be..." I couldn't really single it out to one or even a few things. The answer that always came to mind was " Life" Of course with life your granted the opportunity to and experience more . My list of likes is way longer than my list of dislikes. I know I am not excited about car races never really enjoyed watching a car go around the track. The children wanted to attend a demolishing derby and. I can honestly say it was not a thrill watching the smashing up of cars. Maybe that is why nature is high on my list. as it is always grateful, you take care of all the things in nature and it takes care of you.
Made me thing of how many times I told the children to feed the chickens. You would thought it was the worst chore in the world. But as I sat and watched my hens bathe in the sun , run the yard and go about their business of leaving me the morning eggs. I thought well yeah my children missed out on the joy. It is life and anything that is a part of life brings a certain amount of joy. Life is only work if you think of it as work. I prefer to think of life as chapters of experience.


I love to watch a butterfly sipping nectar
and the birds building a nest in the trees,
I love the way you make me smile and
touch my heart like the wind through
the trees.

I love the sound of the water over rocks
as the streams races to the river wide,
I love the joy you bring into my life
like a star shining brightly over me.

I love to watch the flowers grow
and bloom in colors of a rainbow,
I love the magic of your touch
an embrace that only lovers know.

I love to listen to the blue birds
as they chirp their little tune,
I love to hear the words " I love you"
and repeat them back to you.

I love feel of soft cotton
cool and dry against the skin,
I love the feel of your being
as I dream you laying next to me.

I love the rising of the sun
as it celebrates a new day,
I love the way you make me feel
like a teenager on her first date.

I love the sand between my toes
strolling on the ocean shore,
I love the images created
when I visualize our forevermore.

Here In My Heart

There is an old adage " till you walked a mile in my shoes." Meeting people, selling poetry and the connection to the words. I learned early on how interpretation could take one word and give it many meanings. The same holds true for a poem. There was an older woman who collected pieces I wrote. She would stop by at the art event to see what I had that was newly written. She went on to explain how she hung the pieces in her bedroom and would read them each night before bed. I thought wow! that is pretty powerful for someone to interpret my words into their life.
Some people stood out a little more than others. I remember another woman unable to choose asking me to read two poems for her. I choked up reading them " one was my promise "and "Normal." She purchased both but it as at that moment I realized they were getting  part of my soul.
I see it as a legacy of sort or away to live on beyond this Earths time. The people we meet and interact with carry away a piece of us . Poetry it is the documentation of  a thought or a dream through the power of emotion. In a glimpse of a cold world it is quickly warmed by the power of love. Love of friends, family and life.

Ease the moment
rest assure my love,
though the flesh is a part,
you're here in my heart.

Warming to the being,
it heats up the very soul
with every breath I take
our dreams are foretold.

Taste of sweetness
with a good morning kiss,
a touch to your cheek
and the feel of your lips.

Bridging the distance
with a thought and dream,
I crossed the threshold
of peace and serenity.

Forever connection
that's how it will be,
as we are joined by the
love called "eternity. "

~
I traveled many a rode,
walking the path of life
somehow it led me to you
in a form of paradise.

Smiles surface
when I think of you,
as you're the joy
that makes my sky so blue.

Dancing with the moment
on the clouds up above,
I find myself ever grateful
for your special love.

My mood is lifted
there is happiness in my day,
thinking of your smile
sends goosebumps my way.

The feeling of sweet passion
brightens up the day and night
as I embrace the power of the soul
from the love of my life.

The Kitchen Dance

Childhood teaches us more than we are willing to admit. Not just book learning and school but the impact parents have on us. For as strict as my father was with discipline , there was a side of him that was gentle. Of course being ill a lot as a child, he did his share of pacing the floor , dancing and singing to try and get me to fall asleep. I find in the many years since his passing, the harder side of him has taken a back seat to the positive that I believe he instilled in us as children. Music and dance became an integral part of who we are.  Sometimes I found music was like the great escape. Creating worlds, visiting places in the mind and as we joking would say " music calms the savage beast." From one of the first children's songs "Frere Jacques Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques,Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines Ding dang dong, ding dang dong. to a wide range of music or his favorite to sing when I was not well. "Playmate come out and play with me, my dollies got the flu boo hoo hoo, Look down my rain barrel, slide down my cellar door and we'll be ever friends forever more. " Okay so it wasn't to wide a range of music. We use to say mother could break a glass singing Opera and I don't think we meant that in a good way. 

Dad served in the war during world war 2, stationed in Germany, France and Poland he spoke many different languages. I don't even think I realized until I was an adult that we grew up talking a variety of languages all mixed together.  Well  we knew just enough to get by . One of my fondest memories was of my parents dancing in the kitchen. Somehow the negative just faded away and all seemed for the time being as if the world or at least my little corner of the world was perfectly fine.

It wasn't till I realized what falling " in love" felt like or that I figured out there were all kinds of love. But "in love" ahh now that is power and magical.  Where your feet literally lift off the ground and you basically dance on clouds. The emotion can stir the passion and explain the ache within the heart.
I don' t have any one particular favorite song well except for maybe the kitchen dance with the song "always and forever. "  Of course how can one forget the magic of falling in love " Wise men say only fools rush in , but I can't help falling in love with you."  Will you take my hand and share in a kitchen dance? I'll go easy on you we can do the basic box step. You lead I'll follow, the clouds in the heavens await us. 

Take me to your arms, 

oh! take me to your heart, 

let the love on in and 

allow the dreams to begin. 

Slide across the floor,

with you whom I adore

and pull me ever close 

like a honey bee to a rose.

Take me to your arms, 

oh! take me to your heart, 

let the love on in and 

allow the dreams to begin. 

Round and around we go

the passion surely shows, 

the desire of two when 

I dance with you. 

Take me to your arms, 

oh! take me to your heart, 

let the love on in and 

allow the dreams to begin

Memories are made 

in reserve for another day, 

as I take to the clouds 

and to my king I bow. 

Take me to your arms, 

oh! take me to your heart, 

let the love on in and 

allow the dreams to begin

You lead and I'll follow

with you for evermore, 

creating our paradise 

while begging for more. 

Take me to your arms, 

oh! take me to your heart, 

let the love on in and 

allow the dreams to begin

La, la, la To Your Ear

I looked to the stars
shining high in the sky,
knowing quite well they
blanket over you and I.

La, la, la sweet love, 

la , la , la my dear, 

sung from the heart

only to your ear.

I looked to the heavens
and the clouds passing by,
in hoping to hold you
heart , soul and mind.

La, la, la sweet love,
la , la , la my dear,
sung from the heart
only to your ear.

The night is passing
as the darkness set in,
and I open my heart
to your love I binge.

 La, la, la sweet love,

la , la , la my dear, 

sung from the heart

only to your ear.

Above

Everyday a poem
each night a dream
every page a story
of a lovers theme.

Documenting moments
of two souls set afire
the  deep blaze of love
fueled by the hour.

Escaping the darkness
with passion and desire,
I harness the magic
giving love the power.

Soar the heavens
and embrace eternity,
to celebrate the love
through gifts of memory

.

~

Words with emotion,
packed full of love,
graced the moment
on the clouds above.

My hand reached out
you were here with me,
I felt your love embrace
as if to life came the dream.

Energy filled  happiness,
passion and deep desire,
blankets the very night
growing stronger by the
hour.


Words with emotion,
packed full of love,
graced the moment
on the clouds above.

Soul Mate

There are those who are
bonded by the external flesh
commonly seen by others
and some by the heart of
their eternal lover.

The union of two souls
joined without memory,
fastened in another life
reunited for eternity.

No ropes or chains to bind
spiritually they're free
to feel the passion once
only felt in a dream.

Powerful are the emotions
a force that can't be denied,
compliments the very soul
in the heavens blue sky.

Aligned were the stars
on that one special day,
when you stopped to say
"hello" and the bond for
life was made.
~
