Phil Collins You Can't Hurry Love- Lyrics

Another Snowy Day

I gazed out the window as

the snow was falling down,

another day of winter with a

blanket of white on the ground.

The fireplace was crackling

and daydreaming was I, 

with another day in passing 

and a moment lost to time.

The new year approaching

I thought of what it will bring, 

then my mind skipped the season

and visualized spring.

Words of The Heart

 I watched as the boats traveled down the river that day and at that moment felt my mind slowly drift away. The heart that was weathered by the storms begins to count the endless grains of sand along the shore.  The landscape inviting I wished a little more, opened my heart and let you in the door.  I kept the secrets in the sand upon the shore titled after the one that I adore.

~

One sided love is the pain of all heartache,

~

Fate leads us to the door, 

choice allows us to open it or not. 

~

Life is nothing but chapters

I wish I could erase a few.

~

People always talk about living their life over,

the first time is hard enough.

~

I am beginning to like isolation

it doesn't hurt as much.

~

Sometimes all there is,

is a daydream

~

I must have read one to many fairytales...there is no happily ever after.

~

Sometimes I like the silence 

until the memories surface.

~

Ugh

~

Happy New Year

 To have loved....

~

If tomorrow never comes I can say 

I have lived and loved. 

~

Rainbows aren't forever.

~

I am getting and dusting myself off...

~

The irony is it takes as much energy to hate as to love. 

~

I do believe in fate,

no matter where it leads us.

~

There is only so many emotions 

and I've experienced all at one time or another.

~

It's a bit cliche  " to have loved and lost" but even a broken heart is an experience worth living. So I keep telling myself that.

~

Just Another Day

Roses in December

sunshine when it rains, 

the world is that much better

when sweet love reigns.

The heavens in a blanket of blue

sprinkled with a shower of stardust 

has me deep in thoughts of you,

as I find myself behind those 

clouds of grey.

~

Beyond this world,

another place in time, 

where souls come together

and you were mine. 

We'd soar the heavens,

embrace the dreams,

dance on the clouds 

and with our hearts sing. 

~

...

 No rainbows for you and I

they always fade away,

like the stars in the heavens 

hide behind the gray.

The silence has spoken

and sorrow takes center stage,

for life is empty without 

you in my day.

So I say good night

sleep well my friend

i'll be grateful 

till the end. 

Take What You Can Carry

 I carry your love wherever I go

it has been there from the first hello,

it is wonderfully deep in the heart

where I've kept it safe from the start.

It brightens the darkness with its own light

while giving voice to the silence of the night,

cast by the memories of days gone by 

the memory of love within me resides. 

Star

 

One heaven above us

and one earth below,

the energy between us 

continues to flow.

You can take tomorrow 

the good mornings and hello's 

but the dreams of you are

not on borrow.

The magic of love

was created by need,

I wanted you and 

you wanted me.

One heaven above us

and one earth below,

the energy between us 

continues to flow

~

I watched as the cardinals

gathered for the dish of seed,

their red against the snowy trees

is a visual that pleased.

Winter upon us 

and a season to endure, 

my heart aches 

needing a little bit more.

Close to you

 One dream , one love

one day to see us through, 

the path of this life has

led me directly to you.

Grateful am I 

for there is no reign on time,

each second that we shared

was truly divine.

From earth to the heavens

and from star to star,

we were united though

our flesh is quite far.

I think about each moment

to be there close to you,

my skies gray without 

you I miss the sunshine

and the blue.

Waking Up

 I woke from a nightmare with my heart racing and my head ready to explode.  I fell asleep with the tv on and the news must have gotten into my head. The world is a crazy place and the sensationalism of newscaster encouraged my Armageddon type dreams.  Writing has always been away to cleanse the canvas of the day bringing forth good thoughts. As I get my rather unsettled emotions under control here's to better thoughts.

The year is passing 

so much unseen and undone,

as I go about dreaming

of the arms of the one I love.

Like the ocean meets the shore

and the sunrises in the morn,

I take to the heavens as away

of finding your love to explore.

It brings a blanket of peace

that calms and soothes the soul,

your love brings a warmth 

that has me wanting for more.

My breath relaxed

and my heart follows suit,

as I go about reviewing the

love labeled "forevermore."

The hills are snow covered

as it's now fully winter time,

so I close my eyes to dream

a summer with your hand in mine.

You can't stop the feelings,

I won't toss them away,

the love we shared still brings

sunshine my way.

As I prepare to fall asleep

I visualize you here, 

a moment of a lifetime 

removes the nightmares I fear.

Burn

One day forward

and a breath I take, 

for I have loved

and felt the ache.

The heart which beats

and the souls that feels

secures the moment

and holds it still.

Joyous smiles

all love infused,

captures the dreams

and each day renew.

Once given 

cannot be returned,

so in my soul 

your love will burn.

Tried

 I tried to stop the dreams 

to hold the memories back,

but there is no stopping love

to keep it from this heart of 

mine.

I can't control how others feel

and don't know what they think,

it might take two hearts to love

but all I know is what's in this 

heart of mine.

Can't see over the mountains

nor cross the rivers wide, 

unless you were here beside me

and we stopped the hands of time.

I tried to stop the dreams 

to hold the memories back,

but like the tears that had fallen

both the dreams and memories

could not be held back.

Holiday

 Maybe it's the season or the sappy holiday movies. That I find myself time after time going over the same memories. One was when I was seven years old and we were moving and I asked if I could take my baby doll and mother replied" take what you can carry. " I couldn't carry my clothes and the dolls but that memory all these years later still burns a hole in my heart. I ended up moving in with a Great Aunt with nothing but a few clothing items. She took me to a Christmas store. It was the first time I   had ever been in a store that carried nothing but Christmas items. She said pick out something for your younger sister and yourself. I chose a pink elf and a purple elf for myself. To this day I still place that elf on the tree. Call me the sentimental fool. I left out a lot that happened in those earlier years . Maybe it was intentional or a way of healing that the mind selects certain memories to hold onto. Somehow there is a gap in time and I find myself sharing those first holidays with my own children. I remember taking them to green tree shopping mall. We viewed the decorations they saw Santa Claus and we did some shopping. There was something uniquely special about that day. It was a really nice holiday that year. The holiday has away of touching on all the emotions. I just want to say that I hope you find the perfect memories to carry you through the holiday. Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!

Snowfall

Watch the snow fall

and remembering when, 

we shared the moments

and my life once more 

began.

Another season 

and I stand here alone,

wondering darling 

where the time goes.

I'll keep the memories

close here in my heart,

as a way of staying close

though you're quite far.

 

Alone

 I find myself alone and dreaming

needing and wanting you here with me, 

it seems a thousand years between us 

or the crossing of a million seas. 

Tears fallen from the heavens

or is that my heart that weeps?

without your love I  have nothing

while I've fallen into a deep sleep.

I could take to the mountains 

stand there to feel the breeze,

but nothing really matters

because you're not here with me. 

The void is deep within me

the sorrow has found its place, 

they must have called this heartache

as the pain inside remains. 

I know all to well this story no

 enchantment or happy endings for me,

to the grave I'll take the secrets of the 

love that once set my soul free. 

I must not have meant enough to you, 

nor did I  make your sky blue, 

for you easily walked out on me

when I thought love knew what to do. 

Haunted by the experience

when I thought you held my hand, 

to find that I was standing here alone

in what I thought was heavens plan. 

No sparks to light the night, 

nor sunshine to bring happiness my way,

as I walk through this darkness

your love seems to fade farther away.

Chapter

Gone with no goodbye found

me here with tears in my eyes,

as only memories remain 

in a chapter that with my 

heart played.

Cleanse this soul of mine

leaving not left to time, 

only tears that fall 

that I had given my all. 

Stand strong and don't leg go

as I just want you to know, 

the games you play 

redirect the heart in different

ways.

Gone with no goodbye found

me here with tears in my eyes,

as only memories remain in a 

chapter that with my 

heart played.

 Sometimes all that is left is a good cry. 

~

Yesterdays Thoughts

 The words are my eternal gift as

they have found their place in your heart.

The rainbow is a reflection of light through a drop of water,

your happiness is a reflection of love as seen through life.

Imagine a place where the comfort cradles you and love kisses you...

and you will have found my arms.

It only takes one knock at the door of the heart to view the joy of life.

When the melody comes together,

the harmony of life is revealed.

I accept each piece of the puzzle,

as a completion to the canvas.

Natures balance is the key to the survival of all living creatures,

the balance of the heart with the soul is the key to the survival of love.

When the heart is given the sight to see,

paradise is conjured from simple need.

There is no such thing as common,

only unlocked combinations.

It's not I don't forgive, for forgiveness is the wholeness to healing, It's not that I hate for hate is the wall that imprisons. What I choose to do, is to remember and as I review the moments in time, I propel forward in the ongoing journey.

Hope opened the gate,

faith released the dream.

That which taught my feet to dance also taught my soul to sing.

~

The availability of happiness teeters on your willingness

to accept the warmth of love as it flows outward from the center of your soul.

~

To pursue the reason for our being,

one must be willing to accept the

journey detail by detail.

The grass is indeed lush and green and the sky a magical blue and it all became a little more special when I shared the vision with you.

Circumstance built a wall,

love for life removed it all.

Happiness is attained by the sharing of love.

The sun is but the energy of my undying love,

as it rays bring light to the world,so does it

cast its beauty upon my soul.

You can make it last a little longer just

by holding me close in your heart.

Only if it falls upon your ears and is felt by your heart does

the music perform to the magic of love.

~

Love is not built upon expectation,

but is created by the will of the soul.

~

It is the trickery of the mind which teases the heart.

~

If mere chemicals can create such feel for passion,

I must be on a flood watch.

~

I shall not look back nor worry of the future,

for the celebration of love holds still the moment.

I rejoice in that we have experienced the pleasures of love.

~

Allow the wind to touch your soul with the magic of life.

Chapter

 I saw the heavens as one and

not the many worlds beneath,

confusing my wants with my needs

and bartering with love.

Surrendering to the journey

which way do I go?

forward by one, back by two

no matter what the sky is

not blue.

Gray like the storms 

each day from birth

hovering over cast

darkness upon the earth.

Weep not for sorrow

for there is always an end,

whether I chose it or you

did my friend.

Snow Falls

There is no magic to the moment

nor warmth to the sunshine, 

without you here beside me 

my heart is cold like that of 

winter time. 

The snow has fallen 

and drapes the hills in white, 

like a blanket over the dreams 

they are no longer bring the 

memories to life. 

Dean Martin - Return To Me

Return to me

Oh my dear I'm so lonely

Hurry back, hurry back

Oh my love hurry back I'm yours

Return to me

For my heart wants you only

Hurry home, hurry home

Won't you please hurry home to my heart

Life

 Did I see the sunrise 

in the trees atop the hills

or was it just my wanting

that made my heart stand still?

There are one set of stars

shining down in the night

and one world between us 

giving meaning to this life. 

Could it have been the dreams

that made the moment feel right?

Carved out by the needs of the

heart and soul in flight. 

My body began to quiver

as I knew it to be true,

something came over me

as my thoughts turned to you.

The mixture of want and need

had fallen through a tear, 

as if the magic of love

to my soul spared.

Ending chapters 

no new ones to write,

I feel like I am here

at the end of this life.

Shared

Stars of the heavens

have  away that bring

the distance of two 

like a well remembered 

dream.

It might be the wanting

that brings you near

as I gaze at the heavens

and your smile appeared.

The solemn expression

followed by the tears,

remembers the days 

you and I shared.

~

The pen was always there

as the pages of life appeared.

The words of love I shared

when I chose to write in a

romantic flair.

It might have been the wanting

and the need that showed,

as the days grew longer 

the pain continued to grow.

~

When this life is over and all is said and done,

what will we leave if we don't have love?

The silence that rules the night has a way

of bringing the dreams to life. 

As the visuals appears 

to replace what I cannot hear, 

no magic, nor joy to this life

without you, nothing feels right. 

 ~

I've paged through the chapters

and the chapters revealed, 

what I thought was love 

was a one sided deal. 

Those fireworks happen

when two feel the same, 

but for some life is 

nothing but a game.

Bitter Cold

 It's easy to hate the moment 

to allow the bitter cold in, 

but I had to think about you

and how our love first began.

The need for your sunshine

to warm my very day, 

comes with this feeling

that finds me standing 

in the rain.

Memories

 I've taken the memories you gave me

they are seeded in my heart to grow, 

they're a reminder of our love

and the dreams that won't let you go. 

I've take the stars to brighten my night

as a reminder that someday will be again,

in the heavens where all is eternal 

and you will be in my arms once more.

I've take the memories you gave me

and reviewed them day after day 

and when the darkness surround me 

it is your memories that lights the way. 

Waiting

 Believe in a fairytale of sort

where dreams come together

and we find our self looking

for more. 

The sunshine and the moonlight

are mere objects in the sky,

a gift of the heavens that brings

a place to both you and I. 

When the days darken

and winter find its way,

just gaze up at the heavens

and you'll find me waiting. 

Heavens Bright

 I looked to the heavens bright

and the stars were giving off light,

the moon shining as it does each night

and I pondered on the moment you 

came into my life.

 Happiness and sadness as I think of you,

wishing and wanting that you loved me too,

another day older and another day lost

as the road before me remain uncrossed.

Whispers falling on deafen ears

no one to share and no one cares,

rainbows that once bridged the sky

quickly faded from sight. 

The Not So Happy Holiday

 I watched a silly Christmas movie. You know the kind where you laugh and you cry. When the movie ended I thought about what Christmas meant to me. Before I had children it was strictly hope and faith. Faith in the religious aspect, which centers on love and peace and hope that my life would have some kind of normal. When the children came along it put a different spin on the holiday. Part of me tried to create what I didn't have. I over indulged them to the point of exhaustion. It seemed I never seemed to get it right. Maybe it was that I put myself to much into the picture of what I expected the holidays to be. As I have matured, a kind way of saying I have gotten old. I think about what personally makes me happy. Well of course the holiday was funny and I did find myself laughing several times through the movie. But it all comes down to who we share it with. I have said goodbye to so many family members and I find myself personally alone. Who would think I would be alone. I do have adult children and grandchildren. But this kind of loneliness is different. It is that love of caring, concern, sharing that comes with two adults loving each other. Maybe I am over thinking or over emotional or both. There is a world of people that are alone, but that doesn't matter to the individual who finds them self lost , isolated. Might be that I made the wrong decisions or maybe the right decisions and I chose to be alone. My grave stone epitaph "  Alone in a crowded room"  I think many people don't understand what that means. It is not a choice , It is like not finding that person that completes you. I have made a lot of mistakes and that gets a person to where they are at. Sometimes that unique love doesn't exist or if it does I haven't found it. I had this conversation with my daughter. She was on a new date. She said " he is just way to into me and I don't feel it back" I said" When it's right you'll know it because there will be fireworks shooting in the air from both his and your heart." She smiled and said" yeah" But the irony is someone always loves a little more than the other and so those fireworks become rare.                           The season can be a bit melancholy everyday I want to pick up the phone and call my sisters and my brother and that's difficult as my heart breaks to this day from their absence. I guess that makes the holidays even more stressed because you want to spend time with people who are no longer here. Which brings me to seeing what want to see in people. I thought about the people I met along the way. It is about wanting the magic. Do we find magic or create magic?  I am not sure. I guess I am just disheartened with the who life experience. It reminds me of researching my family ancestry. They become merely words on a paper but as I read bits of their story comes to life.  I am tired to the point of exhaustion.  So as the holiday quickly approached and I am not able to have my children gather together, I find myself looking back and feeling the need for hope and faith. I have the world will be a better place and hope for some kind of normal. In the end all we have is what we create. That is what I told my children" being a parent is making memories" with out memories we having nothing to claim.  Sings the song " you've got to give a little , take a little , let your poor heart break a little, that is the glory of that is the story of love."  The holidays may not be what we expect or want and many people will be alone due to the crazy covid virus . So I hope that we all survive through it to share the love in our hearts.. I was once told hating is an emotion equivalent to love it means you still care. So I can't go saying I hate the holidays for something that won't be the same this year. It is the child in me who loves the lights, the music, decorations and yes darn Christmas movies where the guy gets the girl.  When it is all said and done I am the hopeless romantic. 

Without Song

 If you make no promise,

no promise will you break

and no heart will be shattered

by stormy clouds of gray. 

Stories of sorrow

written by the heart, 

tells of a fairytale 

and a broken spell.

No tears to weep

for yesterday is gone

and no song to sing 

for the heart is without 

song. 

Special Love

One can love another 

another can love back, 

to love with the same passion

is a joy that will forever last.

More rare than the largest gem

and wonderful as can truly be 

when two love equally 

a display of fireworks you will see.

Nothing can change the love

as it grows stronger with time, 

filled with trust and faith 

it's a treasure of the divine. 

Written in a tale

is the story of the Gods,

where one searches for another

in the eternal sublime.

Sometimes it indeed happens

where two souls blend as one

and than there are the times 

we fall for a false love.

Whisper to the angels

speak of dreams

where two are one

in hoping that someday 

I'll find that special love.

Chapters

 Each moment that you're not near me

 and every hour that I am here alone, 

exhaust the heart and the soul as I 

feel the pain  of eternity without you.

The sun no longer shines in my morning

and the stars mean nothing at night,

it's just another page in a chapter 

of long and lonely life. 

Snow

 The seasons first snow

in a wintery storm,

from day to day 

a forevermore.

No tears to fall 

nor story to weep,

for tomorrow a chapter

less than bleak. 

Reaching , running 

yet standing still, 

too many mountains

and too many hills.

Rose of Spring

 The rose of spring 

in Autumn blooms away,

the season fickle sends

sunshine each day.

This extra gift

consist of hope and faith

an as I turn the page

I see the sunshine before 

the rain.

Song

 I sang a song,

it made right of the wrong,

gave meaning to the day 

in a fun and loving way.

I can't say what others think,

I only know what I believe.

that real love never fades

in the heart it remains. 

I sang a song

it made right of the wrong,

gave meaning to the day 

in a fun and loving way.

Alone

 Crying through life is like 

the tears of a sad movie. 

~

When the tears of the heart 

break the silence.

~

Beatles tune... "Some say I'm a 

dreamer but I'm not the only one."

~

There is no such thing as happily ever after...

~

Once upon a dream...all in a fairytale.

~

Who could walk out on love?

~

The child within wishes upon a star.

~

I turned the page

to find you still here,

like a script written

for only you and I to

share.

I can't leave this unsaid,

my darling I'll love you to the end,

nothing can change 

the way I fell my friend..

I turned the page

to find you still here,

written upon my heart

sunshine when it's dark.

Emotions to the Wind

 The winds roared thru the trees

dancing branches bending like knees,

a storm is moving in as the rain

continues to fall. 

Angels above the heavens high

wings spread across the sky,

a dream that brings you here

is all that I have.

Loneliness has settled in

that is how my day begins,

till I looked to the heavens high

and let out a sigh.

Sunday

 I watched a Sunday romance movie.  You know the kind where you laugh and then you cry and then it ends with a happy ever after. It is like riding a rollercoaster . You are up and your down and than you spin in circles all in a hours time. Life has the laughs and tears but I don't think it ends up with the happy ever after part. It is a rainy day what else can a person do but waste the day a way on a sappy movie. 

I laughed and I cried, 

I felt love and felt I died,

had the dream and hope in one

just dreaming of love.

I sang and then I danced,

I soared and took a chance,

I wished and held the faith

each and everyday.

I laughed and I cried,

i felt love and felt I died,

wanted you with all my heart

from the very start.

Chapters

The oak tree fell

and the willow died 

there is nothing left

but a void inside.

The sun revolves

for another day, 

morning , night 

as the chapters fade.

Season

 I watched the deer grazing peacefully

there amongst the chickens as they were pecking.

The sweater weather and the sun shining bright

awakened the spirit giving new meaning to this life.

It is not about a legacy or a story that people tell, 

the energy that we share is like a simple spell. 

Here today to share under the sun, 

but like the weather the storm removed our love. 

I watched the fish moving quickly down stream

as the sounds of a season fade suddenly. 

In the silence a whisper can be heard 

goodbye my sweet song birds. 

Faith

 The wind wrestled through the leaves on the trees,

the few that had not fallen with the Autumn breeze.

The season has spoken in a story book way, 

with beginnings and endings day after day. 

The sun still shines above the grey clouds,

as the rain keeps falling down, 

stars await to shine to replace the daylight

with the magic of rhyme. 

I won't let the darkness in , 

it's not worth the pain or the sin.

From day to day the heavens appear

with the hope that the angels will share.

The sweetness of true love

not a story of the games by one, 

I believe if you believe it too,

as we meet above the heavens blue.

~

Where Dreams Let You In

 Nothing more than a rainbow 

fading high within the clouds, 

where nothing is left to hold 

as there is only emptiness inside.

The early darkness sets 

as the rain pit and patters

and there in the moment

nothing else seems to matter.

It could have been the dreams

the wish fulness of the heart,

that hoped for something more

from the very start. 

But rainbows never last 

and blue skies turn to gray,

as I look up to the heavens

and the void has found its way.

Sorrow To The Sea

 The wind swept down

and carried to the sea,

the love and the heartache

leaving only memories.

The calendar shredded

as the months fade away,

like the rain in a storm 

I pray for the sunny day.

No tears are falling

this chapter left blank,

as I feel a numbness

in the void that remains.

One

 Whispers of love and

stars that shine of above,

I took it to the wind 

to send you all my love.

Song of the heart 

a melody of sweet, 

inspired by the dreams

of you with me. 

My lips quivered

I imagined your touch

and there in the darkness

your image merged with 

mine into one. 

If Only I

 If only I could make you see, 

just how much you mean to me.

I know you'd be here now and

you'd be gazing at my smile.

If only I could make you love

the way that I love you, 

I know you feel the magic 

the way that I feel it too. 

If only I could hold you here

and never ever let you go, 

I'd love you the way you should be loved

like the sun that melts the snow. 

If only I could make you see

just how much you mean to me, 

I know you'd be here now and 

you'd be gazing at my smile.

I

 I wanna make the mountain bow

to make it easier to get to you, 

I wanna make the rivers flow

sailing in one direction to you. 

I wanna make the skies blue 

even when those skies are gray,

I wanna whisper in your ear

" I love you more with each

passing day."

I wanna dream night and day

of holding you here close to me, 

I wanna exchange those kisses

sweet the ones that bring you

to your knees. 

The Voice of Silence

 Memories speak loudest in your absence.

Under The Stars

 I was once told "not to let my emotions rule. " I guess that has always been a little difficult as I believe in life, nature and energy and that we are one with our surroundings. Trying to keep my emotions in tack makes me feel a bit numb. Almost like a blank canvas with no yesterdays or tomorrows. Sometimes I find it necessary to file away in my mind each experience , so as not to relive them. What is gained and what is lost?  The sun is setting earlier and feels once more as if I am living in darkness all the time. I looked up at the stars, the sky clear and bright and thought of our existence in a reality that is not fully explained. What is our place in this great universe?  Life so precious that if lost cannot be replaced and at the same time people disregard the importance of it. I thought of the stars how they brought us closer. One set shining down on us no matter the distance between us. But this evening I looked at them quite different for I felt lost without you. We are so minute in the scheme of things.  All of life needing the same nourishment, food water and care. Was is beyond what we know? As the clouds pass by the heavens the stars fade.  

One with the heavens

and one with the earth

nothing between us 

as our hearts concur.

Energy, spirit or 

something in between, 

as our souls came together

like a well thought out dream. 

Heart

 I hold you near, 

I hold you in my heart. 

~

As the rainbow faded into the sky 

the sky blue surfaced.

~

The canvas of life changes with the season

unlike my love for you which never falters.

~

This is my story....

Sunday

 

Sometimes we only see what we want to see, hear what we want to hear, 

experience only that in which we open our self up to. 

~

Sunrise ...opens us up to a new day.

~

It is easier to give advice than to take it. 

~

Autumn gives you that one last burst of color before winter

as if we need to stock up on it to get us through.

~

I don't necessarily appreciate the silence. 

~

I am always running while my feet are standing still. 

Quivers

 The heart is like a puzzle  with each piece that perfectly fits

and if one piece becomes missing it becomes a broken mess. 

~

Unconditional and timeless comes to mind. 

~

Without you the darkness rules. 

I Never Liked Bridges

 " We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" "No bridge in sight."

Weight of A Tear

Shed in a tear and ounce of sadness for what may not be, as it rolls down my cheek it picks up memories. Beautifully uncomplicated to the seriously naïve.  It washes away the sadness and washed away the fear but can never cleanse my heart of the love I feel for you my dear. Steadily moving it makes a gentle curve, leaning towards hope and faith in just one little tear. As I catch it in my heart and hold it so very near, I realize just how heavy the weight of just one tear.

Je t'aime

 Patience, happiness and sweet words of love

are a few of the gifts showered down from above.

~

Je t'aime de tout mon cœur.

You can't compare the star lit sky 

to the sunshine that brings the morn,

nor can you compare the greatest love

to any love that has come before. 

I might not feel your flesh next to mine

nor taste the sweetness of your lips so fine, 

but this incredible feeling that I get from you 

lifts my soul high above the heavens blue.

The emotions linger in a auspicious way

encouraging the dreams to get me through the day,

deep and powerful in away few would understand

the passion between us has my heart on demand. 

I'll net your sorrows and toss them away, 

replace with happiness in the most joyous way.

From the moment you wake up , till you're asleep

my love is what you'll find unconditionally. 

~

Everyday

The trees standing bare

as a carpet of gold now lay,

one with the season as only the

stories within us remain.

Moments filled with laughter

that had taken me by surprise,

above all overflowing with love

that never leaves my mind. 

We challenged the mountains

and overcome the rivers flow, 

to unite two souls together 

as they are nourished to grow.

Reaching to the heavens

your hand interlocked in mine,

in a spiritual connection 

rising high above the divine. 

Not of magic nor trickery 

that the distance might fade,

for we are a source of energy

that grows stronger everyday.

Whispers of Song

Cliché  "I'm happy when you're happy "

but true.

Each night I send you 

in whispers of song, 

my heart felt devotion

to the one that I love.

Feel the tenderness

as our souls embrace,

remember this moment

as nothing will take its place.

Beyond forever 

our love will survive,

as it takes to the heavens

to master the sky.

Glimpse of the stars

and gaze at the moon 

as soon you will realize

nothing can part the love of 

two.

You and I

 I race to the bed 

to wish you good night,

closing my eyes 

and pulling you tight.

Kisses of sweet

in a tender embrace,

as I begin to dream

that we are face to face.

The darkness surrounds us

and I adjust to see, 

the heavenly visual 

when you are with me. 

The stars to the moon, 

the clouds to the sky

somethings belong 

like you and I. 

Smiling

 The hills are no longer green

 and autumn is now in charge, 

shades of gray and yellow 

can be seen both near and far.

I walked through the leaves

that had fallen to the ground,

crunching beneath my feet 

making a musical sound. 

Documenting the moments

writing each one of them down,

just incase you might forget

this angel is earthbound. 

Immersed

Spiritually attended 

I  can feel it everyday,

whether you are near or far

you always find your way.

A gift from the heavens 

or is it a magnet draw?

Unshakeable emotions 

seem to say it all. 

I wake up immersed in your love

eternally bonded two as one, 

the new moon cradles the stars

as your love holds tender my heart.

The Rose in My life

 

Like a lullaby that comforts

and a warm Autumn day, 

the dreams bring you closer

melting the time away. 

Like a rose in bloom

perfect in everyway, 

when I think of you 

a smile comes to my face. 

Two souls

 You don't choose true love, 

true love chooses you.

~

The familiarity of a soul 

reveals our similarities. 

~

I looked up at the sky so clear and so blue 

and at that moment realized how small we are in the scheme of things. 

~

I hope there is an ever after 

because it would be sad to think that our time on earth is all there is.

~

Saving you your place on my cloud. 

xo

xo

 

You make the world 

all that much more beautiful,

~

I can handle pretty much anything

just knowing you are here. 

Simply xo

Always and Forever

 When my children left to go off to Kindergarten. The first lesson I remember them learning " life is not fair" and I responded to them with" no one ever said it would be." Than my dearest friend Nancy who said" I wish we were the same age so we could have grown old together. " Which takes me to my grandmother who always manage to keep a smile on her face through the loss of family and friends. I clearly remember thinking how difficult it must have been for her and yet she never complained. Strangely as I have grown older I now understand the loss and void that she had felt through the loss of  my own family and friends. I must be an over emotional person as I have filled my share of tear filled buckets. Nancy was much older than me and surely much wiser and she said " when God closes a door , he opens a window".  I am glad that you were outside that window. Takes your hand pulls you close and gives you a kiss. 

While at the bank today I picked up a calendar and amazing it was for the new year 2021. How fast time has gone by . I remember your first xo and now years have passed. If wishes came true, I would freeze time while laying in your arms. 

Season upon season

chapters of a tale, 

where two souls 

like warm butter meld. 

Right outside my window

a heartbeat away, 

your love surfaced 

to bring joy to my day.

Where there is hope

I found a bit of faith,

that I should experience

such love in a day.

Tears have fallen 

and my heart had

 felt such pain,

till the day I met you and 

you brought your sunshine my way.

Words simple as" hello, 

how are you today? "  and 

kisses felt from a far 

making sunshine out of rain.

Always and Forever

Heart

 Humming birds to nectar,

honey to the bees, 

a butterfly to the flowers

and your love to me. 

Bridged across the heavens,

no distance to part

as you found your place

here in my heart.

~

Autumn Breeze is the

 warm wind that dances

through the trees

sending down to the earth

a mix of golden leaves.

One more time

to wish you happiness

as I say "I love you more"

as I lay here and reminisce.

The Autumn hills 

in a rainbow of color

surrounds with the hues

to warm the spirit enhancing

the sky of blue.

To share a moment 

and take in the day,

with you in my heart

the world has never 

been the same.

Blessed

 It's moments like this that reveal

how truly wonderful you are.

~

As long as you are here,

I'll keep rereading this chapter of life. 

`

The sky clear and stars shining bright 

shining down on both of us. 

~

Snuggling close 

my eyes closed 

and still I see

through the heart

you and me. 

~

knowing you care means everything , 

for you are pure love. 

~

Visualizing, head on your chest,

hands interlocked, sweet kisses,

enough to hold me through the night.

~

Loving you makes me appreciate 

every moment we share. 

~

In a tear...

~

Blessed

I LOVE YOU

Sweet Eternity

 The easiest thing 

that I have ever done, 

is fall in love with you

and in my heart you grew.

My sunshine when it rains and

the love that warms me thru,

my angel and my darling 

my thanks I give to you.

Forever is easily spoken

but you revealed the truth,

as you stayed beside me 

and each day got me thru.

I dedicate these words 

for all you are to me, 

lover, friend and soulmate

my sweet eternity. 

My Kind Of Normal

 My kind of normal

is a day with you, 

hugging and kissing

is a dreams come true.

To watch you smile

while holding tight, 

you're like the sunshine

as you warm this life.

I wouldn't trade moments

for the memories we make,

you're here in my heart 

by the hands of fate.

My kind of normal

is a day shared with you,

cliché " I am happy 

when you're happy too."

Simple Pleasure

 

I looked at the sky so blue and

thought of sharing life with you,

no clouds at all could be found,

only leaves were falling down. 

Simple pleasures are all I need

to have you here next to me, 

to feel your kisses sweet as 

I wake up from this dream.

I looked at the sky so blue and

thought of sharing life with you,

no clouds at all could be found

only leaves were falling down.

Your hand interlocked with mine

an image that soothes the mind,

crackling leaves beneath my feet 

woke me from this daydream.

Holding you close

 Here in the hollow surrounded by

autumn's blush of golden leaves,

the winds begin to rustle with a

whisper through the trees. 

Everything goes about 

as if time has never passed, 

the deer are grazing as the 

turkey stroll on past. 

Hanging on to the dreams 

that have gotten us this far, 

the love of both you and I 

tucked deep within my heart.

We leave our print firmly 

displayed upon the earth, 

where the once upon a life

the script of love was birthed. 

Endless moments

brought a smile to my face 

and touched my inner soul

in a most unique and wonderful

way. 

No endings to the story as the

words have now been claimed,

written through the years to

document the days. 

More cannot define 

the deep love that I feel, 

as I am reminded of how

we make the earth stand still.

Your love is always here with me

we accepted life's challenges,

conquering the distance 

to full fill our needs. 

~

In my arms and in my heart

in my life the brightest star, 

a song from my lips sings

of that special kiss. 

In my day and in my night 

in each moment of my life, 

I find myself aware of the

joyous love we share. 

~

Forever and always...Amen

When you wish upon a star by Linda Ronstadt lyrics

Once upon a lifetime...

 Life is fleeting...so I don't want a day to go buy without saying " I love you"

~

Exhausted... head on your chest,

snuggling close as I whisper ...

~

Sealed with a kiss.

Daydreaming

I went about daydreaming

to quickly bring you here, 

as I conjured up the images

I felt the love we share.

It removed the darkness

in a utterly complete delight,

brightening my morning 

with a kiss like sun shine bright.

I took to smiling 

and the mountains took to fading, 

as placed my hand in the air 

and hoped you would do the same.

Interlocked souls 

capture the meaning of

"forever and a day"

as I hold you in my heart

in this very special way.

I went about daydreaming

to quickly bring you here, 

as I conjured up the images

I felt the love we share.

~

You built me a rainbow

as it arched the blue ,

it connected my heart

directly to you.

I found a comfort

and embrace from a far,

and I returned it with kisses

taken you by the stars.

~

Needing You

 To close my eyes and just once open them while in your arms.

~

So vivid a dream that it haunts me while 

I'm awake. 

It's one of those moments where I'm running but my feet have not left the ground. Screaming but no sound comes from my lips. Where my need and want of you battle to feel your touch. 

Like a puzzle piece as it connects, 

when you are here I am complete

and without you an emptiness . 

~

To kiss your lips good night

and feel your arms holding tight, 

my want and need for more

wonders what is in store. 

Tired as tried can be 

and still I cannot sleep, 

thinking of you and 

wishing this dream 

comes true. 

My heart aches for you 

as I gaze up at the blue, 

no words from my lips

and still i wait for your kiss.

Time After Time

 

Singing words of love

where two souls are one, 

above the heavens high

we unite time after time. 

Breathing in your air

as this dream I share, 

above the heavens high

we unite time after time. 

Visuals are so kind

a reminder you are mine, 

above the heavens high 

we unite time after time. 

Grateful

 One day or a million

I'm grateful for each one,

that I could experience 

the joy of your love. 

To know you care 

and shared your life with me,

brings a smile to my face 

as I review the memories.

Next To You

 

   Building bridges and connecting dreams. 

                                                 

 Like the colors of the season you've brought

a warmth of love to my life. 

I woke early in the morning, 

the dream still vivid in my mind. 

The images clear as they can be

I'm there with your hand in mine.

Our love survives the distance

it overcome the ups and downs of life,

as I review the experience before me

in the dream that brought together you and I.

The mountains just another grain of sand

and the river beds dried up long ago,

as the bridge of the heavens arch as they

connect your world to mine. 

You and I

 Sit here beside me my love

watch the sun as it sets in the sky,

with whispers from the heart

spoken only for you and I. 

The evening has come quickly

it gets darker earlier each day, 

but for me that matters little 

because your sunshine always 

find it's way. 

Could be a word or two

or just a hello and goodbye, 

bringing peace to the day

and closure to the night.

~

I go about running 

though my feet have never moved,

I find you're always waiting and 

my soul quickly approved. 

I'm in your arms each night

if only in my mind, 

as I take to my bed and 

hold my pillow tight.

It is the energy between us

that cannot be denied, 

a gift from the heavens

that graced you and I. 

I am thankful for each moment

that we get to share and 

I'm thankful for your loving 

as you show how much you care.

In This Heart Of MIne

Look with your heart

and let it guide you, 

hold my hand and

follow me. 

The day is nothing but time

until you and I have shared 

the love that was always 

meant to be.

Must be a gift 

from the heavens, 

that led your soul 

to reunite with me. 

~

The stream trickles over sandstone,

waiting on the rain to once more fall, 

it flows like a magnet to the river 

like my soul to your love is drawn.

We've entered another season

the leaves on the trees tell us so,

this is time as it tells a story

of how love continues to grow.

~

I could stay in this dream forever,

as long as I'm there next to you.

I hold my pillow tightly and

dream another dream with you.

In the garden or atop the mountain

as it matters little where we are, 

for you are as close as can be 

you are here in this heart of mine. 

Season Of Dreams

 

I quickly took to the gardens 

as the silence had pulled me in ,

I watched as the deer were feeding

and the chickens danced on end. 

The leaves were telling a story

as the colors were as bold as can be,

from varied reds and yellow they

were scattered all over the green. 

We managed to make it through winter

and stood our ground right through spring ,

blinked as the summer went by,

leading us to another season of dreams. 

xo

Where once tales of king and queens

and castles above the heavens high, 

replaced with sweet images of love 

as they unite your soul with mine. 

The bond is quite miraculous 

to sense one's wants and needs,

while touching from a distance

and mastering the dreams. 

From my lips a song of sweet

a melody in truth unheard, 

until your ears the sound falls 

and to your heart my all. 

Time masters the moment 

and I wished there was more of,

to hold you in a warm embrace

and to join us one in place. 

~

The tears rolled down my cheek 

as the emotions were running wild

until I pulled you close as two can be

and there at that moment surfaced a smile.

I give no power to the distance

bridged by rivers and seas, 

for in my heart is where you'll remain

and stay for all eternity.

~
