Sweet Tender Moments

 It could have been the movie

or the song played to the heart, 

but more than likely it was the

memories that created the spark. 

The yesterdays suddenly replayed 

as if they were new today 

from the moment I opened my eyes

till the stars found their place. 

Sweet tender moments 

that only love can provide,

as I think of you sweetheart

the pages turn within my mind. 

One or a thousand 

matters very little to me, 

for you are the love of my life 

via the sweetest memories. 

Nightly Thoughts

Love is like mushroom hunting

there are some that look like the real thing 

and others that are toxic and a few that are

similar but leave a bad taste in your mouth

but when you find the right one it's wonderful. 

~

The older I get the more I realize people

are just like they were in high school...

so goes the saying  "a leopard never changes

his spots"

~

The sun always shines 

even behind the dark

and gray clouds.

~

I am always one of those people who 

skipped a few chapters to get to 

the end of the story. Now I realize

it's not about the end it is what 

we do before we get to the end. 

~

I learned early on to hold on

to those special moments,

that is where we get the strength

to make it through the toughest

of times.

~

Silence speaks louder than 

any voice every could.

~

This is my story ...or at least

the chapter where dreams begin.

~

I think Autumn is a sad season...

~

Love is a tricky endeavor...it leaves you vulnerable.

~

You can't fake love ...it's either there or it's not.

~

There is great power that comes from two people sharing the same love...rear as it may be.

 

Another Morning

 I have a little bit of faith

wrapped up in the dreams, 

little bit of hope that you

are still here with me. 

In the silence of the night

and again in the morn, 

my heart races at the thought

of what love has in store. 

Time is moving faster by the day

but my heart of sixteen still remains, 

like a clip of love movie scene

I find myself holding to yesterdays 

memories.

~

I was told the feelings would fade

but they are stronger with each and everyday,

it might be true that one can love longer

or that one's emotions were always stronger.

I was told the feelings would fade 

but with they years the ache still remains, 

like a mountain that can't be climbed

the distance messes with the mind. 

I was told the feelings would fade

wash away like stardust in the rain, 

the truth that my heart can't deny 

leans on the love that I hold for you 

inside. 

~

To the morning sunrise a hello

wake up and let the sorrow go, 

holding you as close as close can be

I found you in my foolish daydreams.

To the heavens I gaze each evening

knowing very well yours and mine are the same, 

though our paths lead in different directions

our souls are joined for all eternity. 

~

One word , one thought 

one dream is all I got, 

One faith, one fire

one love filled with desire. 

~

Two

 I wanted you and needed you

so I wished upon a dream 

and there I found you sitting 

at the table across from me.

I felt the magic of sweet

to have you here with me, 

if only for a moment 

via my nightly dreams. 

I wanted you and needed you 

so I wished upon a dream

and there I found you sitting

at the table across from me. 

You looked at me so kindly 

and I looked back at  you 

as the distance faded away

and one soul was formed from

two.

Time

 Nothing documents life like the seasons

as one prepares to come and another to go, 

no calendar is ever needed to remind us

as the weather seems to always let us know. 

I find it all to be a bit melancholy

as I don't enjoy those goodbyes,

nothing seems to last forever

as everything passes with time.

Each injury to the heart 

leaves a scar I can't deny, 

but it's true we become stronger

through the soul and the mind.
