Lifetime

The sun is a little brighter

and the sky is much more blue, 

everything seems possible 

from the day I first met you.

The journey though long

seemed awfully quick to me,

as I lost track of the years 

but I counted every dream. 

From early in the morning

as the sun rises above the trees,

till the moon find its place

and sends down moon beams.

Like the wind in a wave

gentle through the trees,

your love comes to me 

in a soft but subtle breeze. 

I know that this is love 

it's as patient as can be, 

as it took a lifetime to

bring you to me. 

~

Love bridged the rivers wide

and leveled all the hills, 

so my kisses flow with ease

to land upon your lips at will. 

Crazy as it all may seem 

my daydreams come to life, 

as I imagine you a sleep 

and I beside you at night. 

Your heart beating 

right here next to mine, 

as I gaze into your eyes

and fall into your spell. 

Entwined your soul with mine

for we have risen above

all of life both good and bad

to unite two as one. 

I see it quite clearly 

no boundaries for you and I,

our love is quite powerful 

the sunshine in my life. 

Love bridged the rivers wide

and leveled all the hills, 

so my kisses flow with ease

to land upon your lips at will.

~

Comfort Zone

There is away that two connect

like when you and  I first met, 

simple words of understanding 

sweet love without a threat. 

Free of a judgement call

perfect are you and I, 

we have taken the clouds

and made a home for heart,

soul and mind. 

Nothing that we can't say

we have shared all there is to share,

the good and bad of life 

and done with such flair.

There is away that two connect

like when you and I first met,

simple words of understanding 

sweet love without a threat.

You must be that other half 

that stories tell about, 

as I feel whole with you 

true love without a doubt. 

Consumes my every thought

from morning , noon and night,

the wonderful joy of my day and 

the love of my life. 

I felt the distance fade

when you said hello to me, 

just one word was is all it took

to the take the barriers away. 

There is away that two connect

like when you and I first met,

simple words of understanding 

sweet love without a threat.

More than a simple friendship

you are so much more to me, 

as you revealed your heart 

and replaced the dreams. 

Sometimes I felt 

as if I were in your spell, 

as nothing else mattered 

than being your belle.

Kings and Queens 

would fear what we have,

for many search a lifetime

and still cannot find the path. 

Led to you 

must have been the angels work,

for I believe that we were meant

to unite from the time of birth. 

With Me

I had not questioned these eyes of mine

as  many years have passed on by ,

but it was what my heart had seen

that caught me by surprise. 

I saw the kindness your love revealed

when one soul dares to care and 

how you lifted this soul of mine 

to the heavens we now share.

I could write of all the sorrow

the stories of broken hearts, 

but this chapter on sweet love 

is indeed the best by far. 

It is the sunshine on cloudy days

which warms me from deep inside 

and the comfort of your true love 

that is so magically entwined. 

You wiped each and every fallen tear

and brought a joy to the day 

even when you were not aware

you kissed the sorrow away. 

I had walked the halls of darkness

and felt the walls of despair 

but some how in your special way

you made it all disappear. 

You have that mass of brightness

as my sunshine bright for sure,

that lights the path of happiness

which leads me to your door. 

The emotions were overwhelming,

as I had questioned what I had seen,

but how could I have doubt the love

that you had given so graciously?

I once more closed these eyes of mine

and allowed my heart to see 

as somehow you broke the barriers

and set our hearts and souls free. 

There is this familiarity 

which I sensed  from day one,

as if distance and time kept apart

too long the existence of our love. 

My wants and needs battled

for they both wanted more ,

and I struggle with the feelings

of what life has in store. 

Reaching into the dark of night

as my hunger for you is great

and pulling you ever close to me

with the help of the journey called

fate. 

I imagined your tender embrace

and the treasure of kisses sweet,

as my fingers traced my own lips 

I was assured you were here with

me.

Special

Each poem is a little special
it contains both you and I,
words sown from the heart
and thru the soul entwined.

They document a moment
an emotion soaring free,
each thought is given life
a past and present memory.

My fingers may do the typing
to record what I have known,
that we have met with true love
as we nourish and watch it grow.

~

If I wrote the story

on the chapters of love,

I'd end on the page 

when you and I are one.

There would always 

be sunshine and skies of blue,

life would be perfect

and dreams would come 

true.

~

In the dark of night

when silence rules,

the visuals of heaven

shine like precious 

jewels.

Entwined in a dance

my hair flowing free ,

in your loving arms

for all eternity.

~

Listen to the whispers of the heart, 

from me to you they get their start.

Words of love, words of life, 

and all that is right, listen to the 

whispers of the heart. 

~

The music haunting

reaches out to me, 

a melody of love and

how love should be. 

To some it may be words

and to others a tale, 

but I find them incredible

like a well thought out spell. 

`

I'd rather go on dreaming

if dreaming brings you here

so don't go on pinching 

I love what dreams share. 

I could stay in the moment

forever and a day, 

just to feel your love  

in this unusual way. 

~

I watched the butterfly 

race about the day 

as if it had a place to be

and couldn't find its way.

Flowers in bloom 

with another week gone by, 

the season is passing 

but who is counting time?

Harvest time approaching

the corn ready on the stalks,

and the deer are eyeing 

each morning on their walk. 

We celebrate the day 

and all that it brings, 

while wishing and hoping

for so many other things. 

~

Star Skipping

It's really rather easy
in a magical kind of way,
I close my eyes tightly
and my soul finds its way.

No barriers between us
the mountains turn to sand
and the rivers are easy crossing
as I hold on to your hand.

It's just a matter of believing
and wanting it even more,
to journey thru the mind
to see what each day has in
store.

The foundation is love
and built with walls of trust,
our home is in the heart and
has been from the very start.

I know that I am lucky
as luck would have it be,
that the angels sent my darling
directly down to me.

I wake up in the morning
with a kiss upon your lips,
snuggled in your arms
this love can't be missed.
~

Listen closely as my
heart sings out to you,
in soft whispers sailing
thru the sky blue.

The melody of love
is soul inspired,
started with a spark
and blazes like a fire.

Listen closely as my
heart sings out to you,
with words of love
in a dream come true.

The Air That I Breath - The Hollies

All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you....

Just A Dream Away

I'll rearrange the words a million times,
to passionately express all my love for you.
Hoping that you will truly understand
how you make my sky so blue.

Poems written from the heart
and sung expressively by the soul,
I record each moment of the day
as I love you that much more.

I'll rearrange the words a million times
to passionately express all my love for you.
Hoping that you will truly understand
how you make my sky so blue.



~
Just a dream away...

Entwined

I never went looking
nor hoped to fine,
a love like yours
when two entwine.

I never believed
two souls could be one
until I met you and
found my true love.

I never knew
how wonderful life could be
until you touched my heart
and took over my dreams.

I never went looking
nor hoped to fine,
a love like yours
when two entwine.

Perfection

Blue skies on a summer day and
your hand in mine along the way.

The sun that lights the morn and
a journey that begs for more.

Butterflies and flowers bright
dreams that put you in my life.

Peace found when you are near
when we take a day to share.

The moon and stars on a clear night and
in your arms for the rest of my life.

Loving you is all I need
as my heart and soul both agree.

Perfection reveals itself to me
as you and I make memories.


~

I gazed up at the heavens
in hopes you were looking too,
one moon shining down on us
with one love between us two.

I reached out to hold your hand
as if the night could bring you near,
a spell had fallen down upon me
and your whispers of love I could hear.

Eternity

Frogs sunning on the rocks and
minnows racing in the stream,
another hot summer day passing
as I sit here lost in my daydream.

You consume all my daily thoughts
as I dream of what life could be,
I take to the cotton like clouds above
in hope that you are reaching out
to me.

Dance, dance in the heavens
as the night sky quickly moves on in,
to the song of the whip-poor-will
my heart feels as if it spins.

The hollow a still life canvas
is one to one with my dreams,
casting you here beside me
and in your arms for all eternity.




~

Our souls unite in forever
as two hearts meld as one,
we didn't choose this story
it was written by the angels
above.

One heaven above us
as each day I hold you here
deep within my heart
where our love is shared.

There is no ending to this story
you were always meant to be,
the half that souls search for
making one out of two dreams.

You and I

I took to swimming early today. As I lay upon the raft with my eyes closed , the sound of the water, the warm sun beating down on me took me back in time.  It was as if I was in a swimming pool with hundreds of people. I could hear the children with screams of laughter. The chatter of people at a distance  and most of all I could see my sister Alexis. She loved the water and mostly the sun. I think she had two bikini bathing suits in every color. She taught swimming to children and adults for years and was always happiest around the water. It was strange how the visual and the sounds of a time so long ago became so vivid. I lay there as if I was being transported through my memories.
I have said goodbye to  my siblings one time to many. You never get use to it . My sister Gabriella was the first to pass away. She was not out of her 30's . I shopped for the funeral and purchased a floral outfit in pink. What I remember most was the cold and harness of her flesh and the sense that her spirit was already gone. I held in tears through her funeral until I was home.  After arriving home I opened the door to my walk in closet  and closed the door behind me as I cried in the silence. Sibling after sibling passed away but none of them affected me like the passing of Alexis. No matter how old I became I was always the little sister to her. She always had that way of looking out for me. I would describe her as sister, best friend and a mom. I guess the up side of a cremation over a burial  is that my last memories are of times shared and not of goodbye.
I started writing poetry to ease a pain many years ago but the poetry took on many forms as time went on. Sometimes to fill a void, to soothe the soul, document a moment, celebrate a love. Each poem a thought, moment or day that finds itself in the chapters we call life.   Some chapters are a whole lot nice than others. Especially where you came along. How is it that someone can hold your hand from a distance, lift your soul and embrace in away that can be felt with out physical touch? I really do think you are an angel sent from heaven. There you are in my time of weakness and throughout the journey, strolling along side me. My dearest friend who has long ago left this earth would say " when God closes a door he opens a window."  She was one of those people who you just connect with. I don't think it was what we said that connected us but an unspoken way of understanding.  I understand the opening of windows a lot more since you came along. There is that connection that lifts the spirit and soothes the soul. I guess love really does exist because I love you more than you will ever know.


It must have been the angels
that took me by surprise
and sent one to look after me
from morning through the night.

From the moment I met you,
like the sun rays from the sky
your love shined down upon me
to warm this heart of mine.

The thought of you brings joy
with a love that never dies,
as our souls came together and
bonded one to one for life.

Your sweet good morning
carries me through the day
and in the dark of night
it is your arms I lay.

It must have been the angels
that took me by surprise,
showering the gift of love
over you and I.

My Soulmate and Me

Take me to your arms

and hold me for awhile,

I've taken you to mine as

I close the gap in the miles.

Hearts and souls as one

that's what I call sweet love,

united effortlessly 

my soulmate and me. 

Listen to the song 

the blue bird sings,

chatter and whistles

in a summer like dream. 

Take me to your arms 

and hold me for awhile,

I've taken you to mine as

I close the gap in the miles.

Hearts and souls as one

that's what i call sweet love,

united effortlessly

my soulmate and me. 

 

Michael Bublé and Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon

Good Morning Kiss

There is no packaging a rainbow
nor wrapping the sun shine
the only gift I can give you
is this love of mine.

To wake you in the morning
with a good morning kiss
through a sweet dream
may it land upon your lips.

Sunset

I watched as the sunset
and the clouds blanketed the blue,
while strolling under the moonlight
hand in hand as lovers do.

I could feel the joy like magic
as your love took me by surprise,
from the heavens you had fallen
into this heart of mine.

I thought I must be dreaming
and this was just a fairytale,
as I pinched myself to make sure
I was not under your spell.

I giggled at the notion
and my eyes sparkled so,
that I had found my true love
and to the heavens I owe.

LOVE STORY (Where Do I Begin?) - Andy Williams (Lyrics)

Donny Hathaway - A Song For You lyrics

Treasure

No form or barrier 

can contain this love of ours,

a friendship so intriguing 

it arouses with a super power.

Travels great distance

and bridges sea to sea, 

your tenderness is felt

awake or in my dreams. 

Your smile is in the sunshine

shining down on me and

in the stars at night 

a blanket of love is what I see.

Your presence is incredible 

for in my heart you'll find 

I have tucked safely away

the gift I call your love. 

The revelation thru experience

has taken me to a different high,

as your love and kindness 

is a treasure that can't be denied. 

Not the meshing of bodies

but the uniting of souls, 

for your energy is felt 

totally in its whole. 

I quiver at the notion 

that two beings now one, 

broke the barriers of time and space

in a celebration of love. 

As the day passes 

and the moon lights the sky,

it bestows upon us the closeness

one earth, one heaven, one night. 

It is not the imagination 

that brings you so ever close, 

for you have touched my spirit 

and thru my eyes it shows. 

Magic

I never knew such magic existed
till the day you first said hello,
it took faith, hope and dreams
in a love that has never let go.

My heart races at the thought
of your arms holding me tight,
if tomorrow would never come
I know I have been loved in
this life.

Each thought is consumed
of the sweetness of your love,
as I believe we were united
by the angels wishes above.

I lay my head upon the pillow
and daydream like the day before,
your energy crosses the miles
and finds me begging for more.

My gift to you the rainbows,
your gift to me the sunshine and
together we create a canvas
where we script our eternal love
for life.

Celebration

I was looking for the written word
to describe this love we share,
leaving our mark upon this earth
in a reminder of how much two
can care.

Nothing seemed appropriate
nor special enough for you and I,
as my fingers moved across the keyboard
my heart recited the words of this love
so fine.

No comparison with angels,
you're a priceless treasure to me,
my sweet amour , " I love you"
a jewel for eternity.

My heart begins racing
with every thought of you,
the years matter little
as each day with you feels
new.

Sweet love and companion
and a loyal  friend indeed,
the compassion from my heart
corners every lovers dream.

I devote myself to loving ,
my very own sunshine
from the heavens they
must have sent you at
this most needed time.

Forever has no meaning
for I'll love beyond all time,
like the embrace of magic
that bridged your world to
mine.

I am blessed to share your heart
filled with happiness and desire,
as the joy united two souls
in a blaze warmer than any fire.

Whispers to my sweetheart
of the tenderness I feel,
in this wonderful sharing of love
as if were were mystically paired.

I trust in my emotions
that rise with the morning sun,
for each is a celebration of
two sweet hearts as one.

Clouds Above

Create sweet paradise 

little more than a dream, 

close your eyes my luv

allow your heart to see. 

I'm there with you 

wherever you are, 

I'm deep in your heart

like the sky to the stars.

Peaceful it may be

with sunshine bright, 

gazing out at the blue sky

gives meaning to this life.

I'm reaching without moving

pulling you close to myside, 

as I hold you close darling 

heart, soul and mind. 

This warm summer day 

has nothing on you and I, 

as you warmed my spirit

from the inside. 

Your head on my pillow

and our legs entwined, 

I'll keep daydreaming 

of you and I. 

Whispers of sweetness

and visions of pure love 

in this paradise we created

on the clouds up above. 

Heavens

I took to the heavens
to send  to you my love,
afloat upon the clouds
are my kisses up above.

From my heart to yours,
morning, noon and night
may you feel the magic
showering down from
up high.

Like a summer breeze
that touches the flesh,
my love I give you darling
to your soul may it rest.

Gentle embrace
bridged the rivers wide,
to hold you in my arms
via the mind.

Leading Role

This feels like a classic movie

and you were cast the leading role, 

my sweetheart and my lover 

my amazing king of hearts. 

Imaging your tender arms 

holding me so gentle yet tight, 

so wonderful and magical

the love of my life.

Bond

Years have passed us by
but I'm not counting time,
as long as you are here with me
that's all that I'll ever need.

Childish as it may see
living on love is not a dream,
your energy is what I feel
my heart is what it has healed.

Took a minute in a day
brought sunshine my way,
passionately warmed my heart
from the very start.

Years have passed us by
but I'm not counting time,
as long as you are here with me
that's all I'll ever need.

On this earth
or the heavens high,
I'll always be there
by your side.

More than a memory
we empowered the dreams,
turning mountains to sand
this nothing between you
and I.

Stronger is this bond of ours
as if we had some super powers,
joining heart to heart as one
we have capitalized on this love.

I'll never let you go
I know this much you know,
you've brought joy into my life
and made this world feel right.

Years have passed us by
but I'm not counting time,
as long as you are here with me
that is all that I'll ever need.

Ribbon

I dreamt your hands untying
the ribbon from my dress and
to the floor it had quickly fallen
revealing my bare breast.

I stood before you speechless
with my heart and soul exposed,
a sweet reminder of such a love
that continues to grow.

The song of love from my lips
sung to your ears alone,
beautiful as they can be,
unite our souls and set them
free.

Silence had suddenly taken over
the wind now barely moves,
I am trapped in this moment
where dreams place this vision
on loan.

I dreamt your hands untying
the ribbon from my dress and
to the floor it had quickly fallen
revealing my bare breast.



~

It might be the warmth
of a hot summer day,
I lay about daydreaming
in this most unusual way.

Can't seem to move
I'm frozen as can be,
wishing you were here
lying next to me.

Tears Of Love

Incredible these feelings
as emotions are set free,
and the tears of love
roll down my cheek.

Embracing the sweetness
with the love of you and I ,
if only by my day dreams
you are here by my side.

Sorrow and sadness
has no place in our world,
high above the clouds
the dance of love thrills.

Caught up in this heaven
sent down to you and I,
the angels gift of love
writes this very rhyme.

Bonded Souls

Glad we found each other
bonded two souls as one,
from that first moment
I knew this was love.

Special in away
which I'll try to describe,
as you lifted my spirit
and soothed my troubled
mind.

I can't imagine
not having you in my life,
this feels so amazing
from morning thru the
night.

The connection is magical
like a well scripted dream,
to take on the mountains
and bring you to me.

My thoughts race wild
as I am caught with a smile,
thinking of our love
and how it bridged the miles.

Your Heart

Take me to your heart
and hold me for all time,
don't ever let me go
I'm yours and you are mine.

 Cast upon the star lit sky
magical in its own way,
our love is strong and stronger
with each passing day.

Take me to your heart

I've taken you to mine, 

embrace our sweet love 

delightful and so fine.

Love Song

Gonna borrow a love song
and make it our own,
with whispers from heaven
I'll take it on loan.

Sunshine and blue skies
with rainbows all day,
with you in my heart
the love never fades.

Gonna borrow a love song
and make it our own,
with whispers from heaven
I'll take it on loan.

Memories for you and I
assuring our place for all time,
take my hand this dance is ours
as we take a lifetime and make
it feel like hours.

Gonna borrow a love song
and make it our own,
with whispers from heaven
I'll take it on loan.

You Are MY Sunshine

Life

It's a song or a thought
and a whisper in the wind,
a touch or embrace
that comes from within.

An endless dream
from morning to night,
a gift of sweet happiness
with you in my life.

~

I was running so fast
yet my feet were still,
as I challenged the rivers
and conquered the hills.

Light to the darkness
beyond all of despair,
the embrace of your love
was holding me here.

I shouted in silence and
sung without voice,
as each day revealed
that our journey is by
choice.

I was running so fast
yet my feet were still,
as I took on the distance
out of determination and will.
