Once Upon A Dream

 Just a moment in a day, 

or a fleeting thought away, 

memories of you and the 

world turns gray from blue. 


Sorrow and despair and the

heartache we once shared, 

fades like the sun when 

the day is surely done. 


The void is there where

once my heart appeared, 

when I think of you and

that we could do.

Needs and Wants

 What we need or what we want 

are these things that we call love,

just knowing that you care for me 

means mores than anything. 


I could search the world over 

and it would be no surprise ,

that the magic of love is 

right before our eyes.


What we need or what we want

are these things that we call love,

special in their own kind of  way 

and more than wonderful day by day.


Poem a Day

Chasing grasshopper, catching fireflies, 

skies blue and the sunshine bright, 

looking back at my many yesterdays

when the child quickly escaped. 


To the hills where flowers grow

and dreams within are on loan, 

trading one for another 

thankful of sweet earth mother. 


~



Review the dreams of you 

and the story tells the truth, 

I am here and you are there

joined by one heavens blue.


From the moment I wake up

till the stars find their place in the sky,

it's both heart and soul that unites

you and I.

Kisses Sweet

The moon lit the darkness,

the owls hooted their song

as the frogs joined in 

the eerie night felt solemn. 


The weather was colder

than normally it would be,

still the animals were courting

as if they calculated by memory.


The flowers kept on blooming

through the snow on the ground

but I kept the faith that the season

of sunshine would come around. 


I kept myself moving as I 

dared not stopped to think ,

and still the tears were falling 

in the chapters weighted in the breeze.


My need for you not grater 

than my want of your sweet love, 

so I closed my eyes to find myself

in the arms of your love. 

~






 If this is the journey 

and the path leads to you, 

I'll take my chances on the

star that shines for me and you. 


Yes rainbows will fade away 

and sometimes the clouds of grey remain, 

but there behind the darkness 

the sky is always blue. 


My head upon your shoulder

a smile of sweet remains, 

if only in my daydreams 

I'll share with you another day.

Clouds

I am watching the clouds

in the heavens above, 

as I go about dreaming 

of your sweet love. 


Just a bit of magic 

to bring you near, 

as I opened my arms 

and you just appeared.


From morning till nightfall

I'm holding your hand, 

sweet love ever after 

each moment commands. 


There is no room for sorrow

nor darkness and gloom, 

you brought your sunshine

like the flowers in bloom.

Crescent Moon

 

The sky blue as I gazed

at the crescent moon,

all my thoughts sweet 

turned directly to you.


What can I truly say 

to make you feel the same, 

loving you in away 

that is stronger day by day.


Dreams are my delight

they're the magic I can't fight, 

no matter the time of day

you're in my arms to stay.


The sky blue as I gazed

at the crescent moon,

all my thoughts sweet 

turned directly to you.

Sorrow

 From the mountain to the sea, 

from the river yonder those trees. 

My heart is racing with thoughts 

conjured up in a dream. 


Rainbows don't last 

they always fade away, 

unlike our star in the sky 

it's there for another day. 


~

I'm a fool for believing

I know it can't be real, 

these emotions that have

my heart standing still. 


Like a penny in a wishing well

there is no way to escape,

I am not sure if it's wants or 

a boggle up kind of need. 


~

The silence speaks the loudest 

as it toils with the mind, 

playing games with my heart

fiddling through time. 


Chapters are written

and the pen was always mine, 

I made a choice to script

your soul here next to mine. 


~

I quivered at the notion, 

the chill raced from inside

as I wiped the tear drops 

resetting the hands of time. 


Once the day has passed 

another one begins, 

I think of you my sweet love

and how we'll meet again. 


~


If I the cause of a fallen tear, a lash to the heart, a scar to the soul, then I shall join and weep shall we of the darkness cast and stale windless sea. Gloom filled stagnant pool of fear created the waters to drown us here. Cold and rough separates the land and yet I still can feel your hand. Grasping mercifully this my plea, to lift me from my fallen knee. A chill that weakens from inside, forces me to run and hide. Hard like crystal and yet reflects the light of love, the warmth of souls, the mystery that still unfolds. Lay your head upon my breast, gentle soft with out life's test. Unlock the gates of despair and let the sadness free from here. Together we shall take flight, like an eagle who rules the blue sky. Above the winds and many clouds, beyond the barriers of the mind. One to one this bond was formed and nothing can break what God has born. Love and caring, warm and true, a friendship of many a hue.

All

 








Taste the salt

feel the waves, 

that's my flesh 

and that's your all. 


Hear the sounds

like falling rain ,

that's the joy 

love gave. 


Sing sweet melody with 

words out of a dream,

casting you and I the lead

that is what I see.


You Choose The Moment




You choose the moment,

I'll bring the sunshine, 

you start the loving 

and I'll make you mine. 


Kisses sweet 

as kisses should be

with my lips to yours 

from now to eternity.


This is my forever

I've waited awhile, 

for you bring me the joy

and I give you the smiles.


You choose the dream

and I'll make it come true, 

creating a moment 

out of the heavens blue. 





The Magnet

 The heavens must have directed

this script written from above, 

that you should be the magnet

and I should be your love. 


The path paved with need

and yes a little want , 

to spend a day with you 

cradled one to one. 


No worries, tears or heartache

nor sorrow can be found, 

only joy and happiness 

fall like star dust to the ground. 


I caught it in my heart

dreamt up by the soul, 

the magic of a life time 

that has a magnetic hold.
