Indulging my most lucid daydreams

Reflection

 At the edge of the sea, 

reflecting back at me, 

the images of time 

and the stories in rhyme.


Standing all alone

with nowhere else to go,

I take it for what it is

like the petals of a rose.


Wants and needs

are basic simplicities,

complicated by desires

conjured up in a dream.


This is certainly true

that I have loved but only you,

felt the magic of the sublime

like a dream that made you mine.


From this moment I go on

though I think it's all wrong,

as I reached for your hand

and felt only sifted grains

of sand.

Whip Poor Will Bird

 I heard the song of 

the whip poor will bird,

the melody sweet 

need not any words.


To my heart the whistle

I seem to recall, 

a reminder with love

we have it all. 


I heard the song of 

the whip poor will bird, 

the melody sweet

need not any words.


As if I awoke 

once more in a dream,

I felt your love 

as it comforted me. 


I heard the song of 

the whip poor will bird, 

the melody sweet

need not any words.


Migrating to the east

as soon we will see spring, 

time is passing that is true

but my love for you just 

grew and grew. 


I heard the song of 

the whip poor will bird, 

the melody sweet

need not any words.

Path

 It's a dream come true

to be there next to you, 

just a dream come true

if you could feel the way

I do. 


Can't explain it

no matter how I try, 

you're always in my heart

and here on my mind. 


 It's a dream come true

to be there next to you, 

just a dream come true

if you could feel the way

I do. 


~

There is a star in the sky

scripted with your name and mine, 

there is a cloud up above 

I'll meet you there for love. 


There is a dream that I have 

each night as I fall sleep,

it's where I go to find you

and hold you next to me.


There is a star in the sky

scripted with your name and mine, 

there is a cloud up above 

I'll meet you there for love.


~

Maybe you don't see it 

and I reckon you never will, 

for if you knew how much I love you

you would be here still. 


Hate takes so much energy 

that it's good to let it go, 

I only keep the love inside

as it continues to grow. 

~

Some call life a game

that people can win or lose, 

but I know different 

I know how the story goes.


For every experience

that our heart can take,

leads us down the path

for good old loves sake.






you

The snow is falling

and the season calling 

as I find myself dreaming

of you. 


No blue skies 

it's one of those grey times

where I find myself dreaming

of you. 


Sweetness

 Sings... 

I feel your sweetness

your love so kind, 

from the moment of hello

I knew you were mine. 


Touched my heart

and I began to feel, 

in away that lovers

dreams will. 


Closing my eyes

to bring you near, 

if only for a moment

to once more share. 




One

 One with earth 

and the heavens high, 

one with the day as 

it passes on by.


Can't change direction

of the wild wind, 

as it takes us where

life once began. 


The view through the heart

brings you from afar, 

a glimpse of how life should be

if you were holding hands 

with me.


One with earth 

and the heavens high,

one with the day 

as it passes by. 


I stand here alone

heart and soul atone, 

 I'm in the canvas of life

and I have to accept that

the path is right.

Awakens in a Dream

 The sudden calm 

the peace from within, 

dare I awaken within

the dream. 


The beat of your heart

to each breath I take, 

a reminder tomorrow 

I might awake. 



Sings a song for you

You warm my heart

when the world feels cold, 

restarting life when it 

all seems old. 


You're special that's true

as you make me smile

in away that only you 

can do. 


You retaught me to dream

to celebrate each day 

as I look forward to 

tomorrow. 


You warm my heart

when the world feels cold,

restarting this life when 

all seems old.

Daydream

 Watch the snow falling down

and the trees arch to the ground, 

feel the wind  across the cheek 

to wake up from this daydream. 


Visuals bring you near

as you are highly revered,

I couldn't stop the way I feel

it's as if time stood still.


Sending kisses via above

filled with all my love,

no matter the time or day

I'll continue in this way.


I'm documenting what

I feel deep inside, 

only warm thoughts

for you and I. 


My promise is eternity

our forever  is meant to be, 

close your eyes and you will see

through the heart the fondest 

memories.


This is heart of mine has no return

I gave it away with no concern, 

I knew you'd keep it in away 

that would remind you of each day.


No sadness for what may not be

for I can live upon these daydreams,

I feel the wind against my  cheek

but it couldn't stop me from believing. 







Experience

 The simplicity of nature

reveals that we are a passing moment,

an energy like the wind, 

fleeting in time upon the earth.


Varied in our journey 

as we follow our inner spirit,

grasping to leave behind 

the story unique to one.


When the last chapter is written

and the day comes to and end, 

all that I can leave behind 

is the experience in the 

sharing of love.

Quantum

 You can feel it 

and know it to be true, 

the energy that flows

uniting souls of two. 


The trials and tribulations

the experience called life,

that show how we were

meant to be like two united

for life.


I can't deny the chapters

for they are all meant to be,

sometimes filled with sorrow

and other times with dreams. 


The connection is undeniable

like a well thought out story, 

where two have together 

to acknowledge eternity.


Maybe it's a feeling 

that touches from inside 

reminding us of true love

that blooms between you 

and I.

Tuesday




The story lay written

and the tale has been told,

as one day all will know 

that you placed upon me a 

spell.


I knew without question

no forever would there be,

you took my heart and

left a void in me. 


Chapter upon chapter

leaves a glimpse of history,

as the day comes to an end

and our love become a mystery.


~

Another tear drop 

filled with memories

falls unto my pillow 

with such certainty.


The days are long

and so darn hard, 

without your love

I feel the ache from 

afar.

~

Gone, gone , gone went the bluebird,

gone, gone, gone went the dreams, 

gone, gone, gone went your love

when you left with a goodbye to me.


Gone, gone, gone went the magic,

gone, gone, gone went the song,

gone , gone, gone went your sweetness

when you walked out on me. 








 Walking blindly 

I dare not stop to see,

the road before us is

made up of a dream.


I listened but failed to hear

the voice from inside, 

the whispers of the heart

that caught me by surprise. 


~

I was written into the script

but I did not pen the words, 

someone else was writing

this story word for word.


Passion with love

and a bit of heart break, 

reveals the inner feelings

and how they work.


Life is but a journey of

beginnings and a end,

from the first step we take

over hills and around bends. 


I'll never fall in love again - Tom Jones [ lyrics]

Blue Bird






Eyes closed 

and through the heart I see, 

rainbows and blue skies

from you to me. 


I listened to the silence

as if a whisper could be heard,

that tomorrow brings a new day

on the wings of a blue bird. 


~


Push or pull 

as I reach for your hand, 

to find the void 

as the full command. 


Nothing but nonsense

sorrow to exchange

as I gazed at the heavens

to find it's just another day. 

~


 The snow is once more falling

 and a blanket of white is here,

in the midst of winter 

with no one here to share. 


Butter cups and roses,

sunshine and blue skies

are all but a dream away

that mess with the mind.

Borrowed

I borrowed your sunshine to brighten my day,
to give meaning to life in a sweet loving way.
I borrowed your world as I stepped on in
to escape the doldrums deep from within. 

The days were exciting as I went on to dream
challenging the barriers, setting souls free.
No mountains , oceans or rivers I plead 
the union of two was just meant to be.


 Birds singing, sun shining and blue skies await us.


~

Caught up in singing a song,

I think I might have it all wrong

as the melody of sweet love 

deeply longs for you, as I'm 

caught up in singing a song. 


Caught up in the dance on the clouds,

but there is no one else around, 

as these arms of mine reach on out to

hold on to you, I find I'm caught up

in the dance on the clouds.



~

Nothing could make me love you

more than I already do,

you have touched my heart

in away that makes my sky blue.


Nothing could replace the dreams

unless I was there with you,

kissing sweet your tender lips 

the way that lovers do.




~

Wishful thinking 

that's what they say, 

as I find myself dreaming

the day away.


Imagination gone wild

finds me here with a smile, 

maybe I saw what I wanted to see

and deep down inside I knew it 

could never be. 


Wishing thinking

that's what they say,

as I find myself dreaming

the day away.


~


Red Flags

You try to avoid them

to pretend they're not there, 

from the moment of hello

the obvious had appeared.


I wanted to believe 

and wish it was so, 

that I closed my eyes

and I let it all go. 


Call me a fool of sort

as I kept on wanting a little bit more, 

trust and faith had nothing to do

with the love that blossomed for you.


Denial had surfaced there at its best

like life had set me up for a test, 

I might have saw one or two 

as I ignored those red flags that

came from you.


~

You must have liked to see the tears, 

to leave when you knew how much I cared.

From the sharing of my heart with you, 

I was sure that you always be here too. 


You must enjoyed the broken heart

to walk away the way you did, 

to close the doors on my love and

leave absence in a day undone.

~

Restless sleeping and there is

nothing that I can  say, 

that would make me forget

the storms that come this way. 


I reached out in the darkness

to feel you reaching  back, 

placing my hand in yours

as the dreams have brought you 

back.


~


We painted the canvas

with a sky of silvery blue,

sprinkled it with star dust 

and hung upon the moon.


Created a visual 

like a walk in the park,

where you held my hand

and kept safe my heart.

Little Faith

The days are lit longer

if only by an hour, 

a reminder that spring

is never very far.


Running with the season

as time is passing by, 

sometimes we need to stop

and gaze to the heavens high.


One life to journey on with, 

there is no second chance, 

so hold my hand once more

and on the clouds let's dance.


Little hope and faith 

will carry us on through,

as we challenge every season

to see that sky of blue.


Memory

 Awakened to the darkness

and yet the eyes adjust to see,

the reality of loneliness 

that begs upon a dream.


Wants and needs together

threaded thru simplicity,

weave the visuals of love

on the canvas of a dream. 


To once more feel the energy

from the touching of the heart, 

over mountain dust and river bed

one sky unites from afar. 


The darkness of early morn

revealed all possibilities,

as the dark began to fade

the rise of sun could be seen. 


It might be just another day

to those who cannot see, 

but I have experienced love

and embrace each memory.

Pillow Of Mine

 Gonna go on dreaming

with this pillow of mine, 

as I snuggle up to it 

I lose all track of time. 


Call it wishful thinking

that makes it all so real, 

that I could hold you close

and once again begin to feel.


Each and every moment

triggers another rhyme, 

while loving you the way I do

these fingers will type another line.


It's away of documenting 

the way I feel for you, 

leaving our love in a print

upon the heavens blue.


Gonna go on dreaming

with this pillow of mine, 

as I snuggle up to it 

I lose all track of time.

Silence

 




The hills dusted with snow of white.

is like a canvas of life standing still.

One moment in a winter day and

I find the magic is heart willed.


One heaven above us and 

one earth beneath our feet, 

this blessing we call life is

both wonderful and  bittersweet.



Caught up in the silence

it's a  eeriness of sort 

as I go about dreaming

of mi sweet amour.


I quiver at the thought

that what I see is real, 

as is my imagination

caused me to feel.

Wren


 I heard the wren chatter

as if it were an early spring, 

one day it is snowing

and the next it's melting.


He stays through the season

and visits me every morn, 

hopping along the porch floor

and right up to the door.


I admire his courage 

to winter the storms, 

as he whistles about

my heart is warmed.


~

Humming a sweet song

as the night sky reigns,

I glanced up at the stars

and I wondered if life 

was a game?


You took away my sunshine,

my skies no longer blue and

like a childhood board game 

I'm sliding back to you.


Call it wishful thinking 

or the memories I hold,

as I go about visualizing

that I'm there with you.
