special way

Fate, chance, choice and circumstances in the chapters of life. With the new year approaching it finds me reviewing the chapters of life. It took me to a book I had read, one given to me by   a  friend " Conversation with God." The book in a quick summary defines life as a "journey of experience." Whether that experience is positive or negative, there is something to learn from it. Few chapters fall under the label of difficult and I wish at times I could erase them. But let's be honest if the chapters had never come to light I would have never met you.

I can't imagine my life without you or nor would I want to. Sometimes I think I am a bit emotional but as my children move on in their lives I find another chapter writing itself. It is easy for people to walk away, make a game of life, that can be quite painful. Like all of the poems I write this one is also dedicated to you. The man who holds my hand through all that life has to offer. Wipes tears and reaches for your hand. I couldn't imagine the pain my heart would feel, if I could not hold your hand. Surely my heart would stand still and my days would darken and the sun would fade away. It is you my angel that has brought love my way. In my heart I hold you like I did that first day, filled with joy and laughter.

The errors of life
have led me your way,
as I recognized the magic
that appeared that day.

It is not about loneliness
or the hole in my heart
but the uniting of two souls
that cannot be torn apart.

The more I have of you,
the more I want of you,
to share with you in this
this special kind of love.



`

I Say A Little Prayer - Aretha Franklin (Lyrics)

 Day or night
 any season will do,
 to hold your hand and
whisper I love you.

I'll take to the clouds
 to share in a dance,
close, close and closer
 it must be God's plan.

 Embrace of souls,
no barriers exist
for you are with me
I could almost feel your kiss.

AL DI LA by Emilio Pericoli May I have this dance?

Al di la means you are far above me, very far

Al di la, as distant as the lovely evening star

Where you walk flowers bloom

When you smile all the gloom turns to sunshine

And my heart opens wide

When you're gone it fades inside and seems to have died



Al di la, I wondered as I drifted where you were

Al di la, the fog around me lifted, there you were

In the kiss that I gave was the love I had saved for a lifetime

Then I knew all of you was completely mine.

Sunshine

                                           My sunshine on a rather gray day.              


                                                           Your presence was permanent
                                                           the day you entered my heart.                                  
~


Tears of emotion reveal what I already knew
that there is no greater love.

~

                                             I think the Lord shows up what's wrong first,
                          so we can recognize what's right when we are presented with it.    
~



Whispers to soar the mountains...
                                             
~



                                                May the words placed upon the page
                                         allow our souls to live beyond an ordinary day.







It is not a trap
I'm not out at sea,
here in the moment
just you and me.

I felt the magic
a soul set free,
to soar the heavens
in what seems a daydream.

Peace the blanket
passion the fire,
warming my heart
with each passing hour.

Mario Biondi & Duke Orkestra Live - "Close to You"

They Long to Be) Close to You

Ah
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create
A dream come true
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight
In your eyes of blue

That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Christmas Magic

I feel your arms around me
and your kiss to my lips,
it must be Christmas Magic
revealing its gifts.

The image taunting

places you by myside,

even if a daydream 

for a moment you are 

mine.

It sounds sort of crazy
but this much I know.
when I close my eyes
there is no letting go.

Take Me To Your Heart

I collected all my memories
and filed them one by one,
those that really matter
consist only of your love.

Looking through the tears
the emotions rage like fire,
as the reflection of you and I
is heart and soul inspired.

~
Take me to your heart
and please never let me go,
I've taken you to mine
I think you should know.

Blowing out the candle
and holding you near,
your head against my breast
and my fingers through your hair.

Whispers of passionate love
are only here for you
as I close me eyes
I dream you hear them too.

Take me to your heart

and please never let me go, 

I've taken you to mine

I think you should know.

Charles Trenet - Beyond The Sea, la Mer

"Special Delivery"

I Love You" More"

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I'll give to you alone
More than the simplest words I try to say
I only live to love you more each dayMore than
you'll never know my arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping, waking,
sleeping, laughing, weeping
Longer than always is long long time,
But far beyond forever you'll be mineI know
I never lived before and my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more

Christmas Dance

Bit untraditional, 

I request this dance, 

place your hand in mine

for just one chance.

I know you can feel it

your presence oh so fine

in this Christmas dance

there is only you and I.

Pulling you closer

as my heart races so,

our lips sweetly meet

underneath the mistletoe. 

Close your eyes to see the

best views through the heart,

the visual of you and I 

united from afar.

Christmas Tree

Butterflies and angels
upon the Christmas tree
remind me of your love
and how you met up with me.

Memories the treasure
forever apart of you and I,
whimsical and loving
flutter from the heavens high.

Each moment we share and
every time you dare to care,
writes our own love story
of love in all its glory.

Butterflies and angels 

upon the Christmas tree

remind me of your love

and how you met up with me.

Smile

I unwrapped the many gifts
throughout all the years,
my favorite is your smile
that you so kindly shared.

It touched me in away
that only love can do,
warming my heart and
making skies blue.

I carry your love with me
everywhere I may go
and with one quick look
the whole world knows.

I feel the happiness
in a magical kind of way,
as I close my eyes
your smile still reigns.

When the day is over
and I lay down to sleep
I review your sweet smile
and everything is as it should be.

"I'm happy when your happy"
is  a little bit cliché,
but the smile you shared
comforts day after day.

Simple Word Or Two

 It may not be gift boxed,
 underneath the Christmas tree,
no need for gift wrap and
metallic bows to please.

My treasured holiday gifts
come every day of the year
as I celebrate our love
with each moment we share.

There are many memories
that comfort day and night,
like my very own sunshine
bringing a warmth of light.

Glitter and sparkle
doesn't need to be bought
as my eyes twinkle
with every loving thought.

I cherish all the gifts
tht come from your heart
as I knew you were special
and caring from the start.

In return I write
a simple word or two
to express my gratitude
and my dying love for you.

you ...

La,la,la,la the dreams,
La,la,la,la sweet memories,
La,la,la,la you with me 
is how it's meant to be.

Precious work of art
is how I see your heart,
wonderful as can be,
you mean so much to me.

La,la,la,la the dreams,

La,la,la,la sweet memories,

La,la,la,la you with me 

is how it's meant to be.

Holding on to your love
knowing you're the one,
special as only you can be
my darling sweet.

FLY ME TO THE MOON - Frank Sinatra (Lyrics)

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm

Baby It's Cold Outside For 1 Hour

Happiness

The gifts of life are right in front of us,

if only we open our hearts to see.

`

Treasure each moment

fleeting as they may be.

~

You know it's that something special,

when it brings sunshine on gray days,

lifts you up when your feet are anchored.

~

They say there is no room for doubt.

believe this …endless love.

~

I never lost the child in me

I still believe all is possible.

~

If I had one day left on earth

I'd still spend it telling you how much I love you

~

Life is tiny glimpses through the
window of the heart.

~

It is your unselfish and caring love

that has taught me the true meaning of love.

~

I thought what one word describes my love for you?

but my heart could not settle on just one word.

1. 
   
2. Happiness is just knowing you care.

sweet love

The dreams bring this love to life
the pleasure of being by your side,
everywhere you go and all you do
know I'm there with you.

The song in the night
a wordless breath of life
as I hold you tender
in this heart of mine.

No tears or sorrow
only happiness and glee
as I go about dreaming
your sweet love with me.









I just wanna wake up
in those arms of yours
to feel your heart beat
in unison with  mine.

Run my hands tenderly
over your warm flesh,
passionately finger trace
your sweet honey lips.

I just wanna do
nothing with you,
if it means snuggling
close to you.

Loving Arms

Just a song or two and
it's like a dream come true,
I'm in your loving arms
dancing under the blue.

I feel your tender touch
my angel from above
rendering sweet peace
when you are here with me.

Imaging your tender kiss
causes  a quiver to my lips,
and the darkness fades
bringing light to the day.

My heart speaks to you
in whispers of truth,
the words of sweet
adjoining you to me.

special kind of lovng

In a teepee on a mountain,
in the sand by the sea,
rivers or on a mountain
doesn't matter much to me.

As long as you are with me
both heart and soul,
nothing can break our spirit
we have that loving kind of hold.

When I take to my pillow
and I squeeze it tight,
 I imagine you beside me
as I kiss you  in the night.

It is a special kind of loving
and a treasure to be hold,
nothing can duplicate
what grew from our souls.

Dance

I'm gonna celebrate,
it's more than a holiday
everyday I think of you
night, morning and noon.

Calms the heart and
soothes the sold
when you take my hand
in a forever hold.

The dreams make you mine,
i am walking in one all the time,
just to feel you close to me
and imagine how life could be.

Love is like a rose in bloom
beautiful is what i think of you,
from that first hello
i knew i had fallen in love with  you.

~

I reached into the darkness
and I felt you reaching back,
like some kind of magic
that taught my heart to once
more laugh.

Your fingers through my hair
and your love to my heart
a joy I have never known
till  I felt your embrace from
a far.

You pulled me close
in that one special dance,
I call it magic, others
call it chance.

Special Love

I felt the wind and rain to my cheek
and I felt your hand reaching out to me,
the distance faded with one sky above
uniting two hearts into one special love.

La , da, da, da , da I'm humming a tune
as I dance my sweet love with you,
a round and a round we both go
faster and faster as our love grows.

I felt the wind and rain to my cheek

and I felt your hand reaching out to me,

the distance faded with one sky above

uniting two hearts into one special love.

Hello Sunshine

Hello sunshine,

what is in store?

on this stroll through life

there is always more.

More of your loving,

more of the dreams

more of the moments

that pleasantly please.

Hello sunshine,

what is in store?

on this stroll through life

there is always more.

More of  your kisses

sweet to my lips,

more of your hugs

that I wouldn't miss.

Hello sunshine,

what is in store?

on this stroll through life

there is always more.

More of your hugs

holding me through the night,

more of your love

makes everything right.

Hello sunshine,

what is in store?

on this stroll through life

there is always more.

Hold my hand ,
I'll hold your hand,
share my heart,
you'll share yours too.

Follow me and you'll see
just how beautiful life can be
as we stroll through the day
in our own unique way.

Hold My hand
I'll hold your hand ,
share my heart ,
you'll share yours too.

Hello sunshine
a smile is on my face,
that is what you do to me,
you cause my heart to race.


Bringing the magic
as only love can do,
I felt your kiss
right out of the blue.

Frost on the mountains
the winter is here ,
it cast a reminder
of all that we share.

Crystals of white lay
an art that nature made,
cool and crisp the morn
as I hold you close for
a little bit more.

Good Morning sunshine,
it's nice to see you there
warming over the hills
so my luv and I can share.

That is the beauty
sent down from above
like a drape of happiness
that makes us one.

 I gazed out at the waters and
in the reflection I could see,
the blue of the heavens
reflecting back at me.

This gift quite amazing
as it unites you and I,
no matter the distance
I hold you deep inside.

This mirror of life
a reminder or a spell
as I felt your hand in mine
and felt the love within me
swell.

The beaver was quite busy
he almost finished his hut
tearing off the tree bark
knowing December is not far.

The closer to the pond
I heard the geese honk
they knew that i was coming
and it wouldn't be long.

Nature in motion
I think I had the notion
that I was not alone
no matter where I go.

Just a dream or two

To love is nice,

to be loved is magic, 

to love and be loved 

is the ultimate indeed.

I woke up in song,
in  a dance with you
I quivered as I felt
the love of two.

Peace had fallen
from heaven above,
sending your passion
with two as one.

~

Kissing pillows and
holding blankets tight,
I must have been dreaming
you were here by myside.

I sighed  at the thought
that dreams come true
as I watched the darkness lift
and reveal skies of blue.

Embrace of Your Love

Forever in your arms,
you're always in my heart,
from that first hello
you've created a spark.

The mountains bow 

and the rivers run dry,

just to bridge the distance

and utterly tease the mind.

Tasting your sweet lips
is certainly what it seems,
embracing the magic
that brings you here to me.

From the moment I wake up
till I'm once more fast asleep,
I feel your tender touch
a sweet and gentle embrace.

Buddy Holly - True Love Ways with lyrics

Can I have this dance?

Sweet Visions

Each thought and every dream
brings you that much closer to me,
love songs and romance stories
reminders both night and mornings.

Rose petals , candles lit
dining in your presence,
just imagine, sweet visions
your lips lovingly to mine.

Timeless treasures, our forever
documents so all will know,
I love you, you love me ,
our  love will carry on.

~


One day without you
would be darkness or hell,
for you are my sunshine
you placed over me your spell.

I couldn't  imagine,
wouldn't know what to do,
life without you
would make me certainly blue.

sweet love

I need a little sunshine
for the melancholy blue,
I need your sweet love
to see me through.

I felt a little weak
as my heart knew despair
but knowing you were here
made the darkness disappear.

It was your tenderness
like a wave through by body
a tenderness and peace
that was far from naughty.

I pulled my pillow closer
and closed my eyes once more
on this journey we call life
you're my marshmallow s'more.

Set My Soul Free

When troubles are heavy
and sorrow I share,
when tears have fallen
it's you who cared.

You're my angel,my dreams
 and my sweet love
the comfort of your wings
are felt coming down from above.

When I can't see tomorrow
through the thick of the fog
you're belief makes me
ever so strong.

I can soar with the angels
that brought you to me
it was your something special
that set my soul free.

One in a million

One in a million
sounds a bit cliché
but if they knew you,
they would know
why I feel this way.

It takes that someone special
and someone dear,
to hold on forever and
forever share.

I Love You

If it means being with you,

I would gladly celebrate a hundred or two

I wouldn't stop there I'd rearrange eternity to share

by writing the words " I Love You"

You have that special charm 

that had quickly captured my heart

that is how you made me 

fall in love with you. 

                             

Morning Thoughts Of You

Sit here beside me
there is always room for two,
share in a loving kiss
I'm dreaming that you do.

I'll hold this visual
to see me through the day,
it brings a smile to my face
one that never fades away.


~
My fingers began moving
quickly across the keyboard,
but it was my heart talking
it kept saying "more, more,."

More of your kindness
to see me through the day,
more of your loving
is how the dreams are made.

~


I reached to the heavens
and pulled you to my side,
the powerful energy felt
toyed with my mind.

I kept my eyes closed
so my heart could see,
you are always with me
you're my wants and needs.

Wanting your sweet love
and needing all of it too,
that's why I close my eyes
and dream I'm next to you.

Breaks The Silence

The voice of the heart breaks the silence,
as the whispers in a dream bring you near.
The passion deep within feels a burning
and that is where this story begins.

No room for make believe or fairytales
this love is way more than it seems,
it got its start within the heavens
falling to earth in a gentle breeze.

It saw me through the years
bringing light to the darkest days,
that is why I hold you close
as you've become a part of me.

Sunshine

I'm not here to sing a sad song,
no skies of gray for you and I.
I reached out to hold your hand
and felt your love warm like
sunshine.

I'm not betting on tomorrow,
I'll take the day as it comes.
I'm grateful for each moment
we share in this special love.

I'm not here to sing a sad song,

no skies of gray for you and I.

I thought of you and I giggled

a celebration heart, soul and mind.

The stars are shining down upon us

their great weave a story to tell,

I think you must be the angel

and from the heavens you fell.

I'm not here to sing a sad song,

no skies of gray for you and I.

There is something to the moment

as I felt you in these arms off mine.

Close to you - Karen Carpenter (Lyrics)

You and I

It's a special kind of loving
that has no end in sight,
it doesn't know distance and
to the clouds it takes flight.

It can lift the spirit
put a smile on my face,
hold me through the night
and cause my heart to race.

It came without notice

and turned a day into years

this special kind of loving

is the kind you and I share.

Nothing can change
the love I feel for you
stronger with each day
it's how much "I love you"
~


I tried to find the words
but there are just to few
to express what's in my heart
and to say that" I love you."

I bartered with the heavens
my soul for just one day
to feel the magic of love
in a wonderful way.

The heavens responded
"you have all you need,
nature at your request
will help with your needs"

I bowed to the sun
may he feel the warmth of love
and brighten his life
with a reminder of our love.

The wind was waiting
it asked " what shall I send?"
"touch his cheek with my love
in the whispers of the wind."

The sky blue behind
the clouds dark and gray
are a true reminder
what is done with faith.

The snow still falling
catch a snowflake on your tongue,
I sent all my love packed
in each and everyone.

The days are shortened
giving more time to dream,
when he closes his eyes to sleep
may he see just how much he means to me.

Overtime

The snow is falling,
the hills now dressed in white,
winters early arrival
finds me in your arms for life.

It might be my imagination
or my heart working overtime,
lost in the moment
I felt your hand in mine.

The Stars Above

There is no point in counting stars
as you are never very far,
the stars shining down on me
are shining down on you.

There is no place for tears
my life with you I share,
you're always in my heart
you've been there from
the start.


~

More

The music a tease with
the candle flame dance
shadows on the wall
as I fall into a trance.

My body trembled
from a mystic stimuli,
touching my heart
like a well thought out
rhyme.

You mastered the moment
while creating desire,
that has me hungering
with each passing hour.

It is more than need
as I want you more,
to feel your tenderness
like I have never felt before.

Something was happening
my imagination went wild
and I let out a sigh that
ended with a smile.

Your love has succeeded
it took the mountains down
placing me in your arms
at the moment of sundown.

Embrace of Love

Found myself dreaming,
like I do every day,
draining the rivers and
making mountains fade.

The darkness comes early

so I lay here alone

and go on dreaming 

as my mind roams.

I could spend all day

holding my pillow tight

as if you were beside me

all throughout the night.

I imagine your arms
both gentle and strong
as I sense your loving
and where I belong.

My heart began racing
at each thought of you
as I felt the magic
of what love can do.

The flesh quivers 

imaging your touch,

your heart to mine 

in the embrace of love.

Lifting my spirit
setting my soul on fire,
I keep on dreaming
with each passing hour.
