Scattered Thoughts

 Life is chapters of interpretation,

different for all of us. 


~

No regrets...like butter on the hands

we are all bound to slip up.


~

Sigh...

~

Character, reveals much about each of us, 


~

It takes courage to see the truth,

accept the truth and live the truth.


~

No emotions...void of expression.


~

I don't have a big enough eraser.

~

It is what you want to see... a fool to the journey.

Story

 To every life a story 

and every story a life, 

I've never known an ending

that ever felt right. 


The happiness I'm feeling

are the memories of you, 

but they too are fading 

just like the sky of blue.


To every life a story

and every story a life, 

with chapters on sorrow

that never feel quite right.


It's human nature to cry

with emotions rumbling inside,

 the feelings of heartache 

rest between me and you. 


To every life a story 

and every story a life,

from the moment we are born

till we turn off the light.

Sings

You're just a dream away, 

that's how I get thru the day. 

Feeling your sweet kiss 

as if they touched my lips. 


You're just a dream away,

that's how I get thru the day.

Like the dance upon the clouds

and embrace that can't hold me

down.


You're just a dream away,

that's how I get thru the day. 

wishing you here with me

I fall back into the dreams.

 I died inside each time I felt your goodbye, 

foolish words written into a foolish rhyme. 


Memories

Flowers, flowers, everywhere, 

blooms of life for us to share, 

sorrow, sadness  and darkness fades

as the sun filled memories remain. 

Tears, tears, tears fall, 

weeping memories 



When a bloom dies...



Reaching for your hand, 

listening for our heart, 

wanting and wanting

you from the start.

Flowers blue remind me of a day with you....




 

Time Rules

I've said goodbye once to many times

and felt the sorrow that toys with the mind, 

I had torn the page from the many chapters

and still the memories remain. 


Haunting sounds fill the room

as tears flood like a river to the sea, 

the heart aches at the thought 

that this is how life was meant to be. 



~


Page upon page of a lonely life

somethings just don't seem right, 

nothing fills the void within me

not even the heart filled memories.


I held on for so many long years

wishing and wanting you to share, 

to join the hearts of two souls 

in a bond of a forever hold. 






~


I tried to stop the hands of time

freeze the frame within my mind,

to mend what had been broken

and hold you for just one moment.


Nothing can change the past

it is time that has that last laugh, 

for the years have gone before me

and left me with only a dream. 


I tried to stop the hands of time 

freeze the frame within my mind, 

to feel your love once more 

while wishing there was more in 

store. 





Just another Monday

 Interpretation varies 

as does our experience.


~

You can change tomorrow 

but yesterday is already engrained deeply within us. 


~

When at the fork in the road 

celebrate in the direction that follows.

Beyond

 I hung to the magic of love

felt it lift me to the clouds above,

the energy was quite exciting

shared from that special one.


You can't find another 

no duplicate can there be, 

the uniqueness I experienced

is beyond belief.


I treasure the memories

the feelings just won't let go, 

it is the warmth and magic 

that within me grows.


The flowers continue to bloom

another page is written that is true,

I prefer to look ahead but my heart

is on constant review. 

~

Song sung, sung blue

my heart longs for you, 

song sung, sung blue

I can't help but love you.


Song sung, sung blue

I feel the magic for you, 

song sung, sung blue

that is what this love can do.

Dionne Warwick - Heartbreaker lyrics

Sings

 It is not you or I 

it is the we that 

took me by surprise

as my heart simply can't 

deny.


Not mine or yours 

but a world for two,

wonderful and loving

under one heavens blue.


~

I felt the joy only love can bring, 

when that something special happened to me,

I felt the magic of you and I

when two hearts and souls are closely entwined.


Like a river that runs mighty deep 

your love flows through me, 

through the ridge of the mountains high

the magic of love brought us side by side.

Games

 I don't go for playing games, 

you know my heart I gave. 

From the moment of hello

I just couldn't let go... I don't 

go for playing games. 



I don't go for playing games, 

I think of you day after day. 

Sad as it may seem to the

mountain of my dreams, 

I don't go for playing games. 

~

This life is a bit crazy

don't ya know,

the road a bit difficult 

don't ya know.

the world tilted to the right

as I think of that first night

and nothing is the same in 

this life.


My heart is a bit saddened

don't ya know.

The days a bit long 

don't ya know.

From the moment you went away 

there was nothing left to say as

heart felt a little more sad and blue.



 I am running but my feet are standing still. 


~

Overwhelmed

Unconditionally

 The butterfly caged set free

and only I know the dream, 

the story with many endings

feels the pain of this trail.


Don't weep deep in sorrow

let the love shadow the heart, 

remember the days of laughter

and the passion that two souls 

won't part.

Garden

Through the garden I strolled
enjoying each flower in bloom, 
it reminded me of those days
where I had the love of you.

The sun was hiding behind
those puffy white clouds
and all that I cloud think of
was having you around. 

The precious memories
are all that I have left, 
so I hold them close to me
the treasures that they are. 

The silence surrounds me
and the chapters fade away, 
as if the book was closed 
removing my yesterdays. 













 

No Blue Bird In Sight

The trees whispers and

the winds called out your name, 

the hills rumbled with the storm

as the gray skies remained.


I beckoned to the heavens

to the sunshine send

like the warmth of love 

that is here to the end. 


~

I kept my heart on guard

to never ever let it feel again, 

the pieces now put together

allowing this heart of mine to mend.


They say that time is the greatest healer

what a fool is he who first wrote those words,

for the ache remains forever within me

with no sight of that darn blue bird. 




Come a Little Closer

 Come a little closer

there's something I want you to hear, 

it all doesn't really matter 

if you're not here to share. 


The kisses fade 

into the morning sunshine

as I wake up with you 

on my mind. 


One can climb a mountain

or swim the river wide, 

but two can take the heavens

and dance side by side. 


If only you knew how I felt

how your hello made my heart melt, 

the years have documented true

but even time doesn't realize how 

 much I love you. 



Dreams

 Limbo under leaves of green

under memories and dreams, 

felt your touch in the breeze

made my heart stop to sing. 


Limbo under leaves of green

under hope and faith I sing,

felt the joy you brought to me 

warmed my heart with memory.



Eraser

 I am here with all my thoughts

while everyone goes about their day, 

wondering what I had done 

to feel this amount of pain. 


I released all the emotions 

like tears drops falling in the rain, 

if I were a dry board eraser 

I'd erase many of the decisions I made.


Some may call that regret

but I don't regret knowing you, 

I'd might have done things a bit different

I'd have you loving me like I love you.


Under the Blankets2

I woke this morning

all my thoughts were of you, 

like a flip book before me

I saw my life through. 


The tears kept falling

and I didn't know what to do,

my choices were many 

captured under the blue. 


The experience is the lesson

on this path we call life, 

some were awfully delightful

and others didn't feel quite right.


I don't know what to think

was this love of mine real?

I held it deep in my heart

and there you will find it still. 


Everyone has a story and some

books are bigger that is true,

but as each chapter comes to and end

I find myself reviewing the one of  you.


It could have been much different

and I could have walked away, 

but the reasons are so many 

while infused in a certain way. 


From a child I carried the sorrow

as a woman I quickly put it away

only to find another heartbreak

would follow me to this day.


The song that broke the silence

took me to another time and place.

there I could find your smile 

and the love that made my heart race.


I stayed awhile in the moment

I felt as if you were here, 

something changed inside me

and the strength to get thru appeared.


I snuggled under the blanket

and I wished the sorrow away,

I'm here to celebrate a love

that is in my heart to stay.

LA De DA

 I took the path

not knowing where it leads, 

felt a bit lonely while 

falling to my knees. 


I made my mistakes

lost count of a few, 

but it taught me to appreciate

my love for you. 


There is a lot to learn

we are never to old, 

for the journey was written

to guide our soul. 


Our needs may differ

and our needs the same, 

in this chapter of life 

that seems like a game. 


Might have been the sorrow

and the heartache I felt, 

that numbed the experience

in this life long tale.


Like our Irish song 

that fills the hills, 

my heart sings 

what my soul has willed.


La de da, la da de,

 la de , la de da

no words are needed

in this chapter called love. 


To hold for a moment

in this most unusual way,

I close my eyes and give

praise for the day. 


Hold my hand , 

come dance with me, 

if only in the heart of 

my dreams. 


Tell me you love me

tills the stars no longer shine 

and that you will be mine 

for all of time.
