To that Country Twang

 I didn't go looking and I didn't expect to find

that you would be here time after time. 

I didn't go looking and I didn't expect to find

a love, like the love between you and I.


I didn't know or understand at the time

that love does exist like a blissful rhyme .

I didn't know or understand at the time 

but I know now what there is between 

you and I. 


I didn't go wishing or wanting anything

but a deep and dark void was left behind in me, 

till that day long ago when you first said hello

you took my hand and held on to me.


I didn't believe a love like this could exist

it's more than any one person could wish, 

from that first day I hadn't been the same

for my days of sunshine dried up the rain.

Tonight

I don't need to make promises 

for my heart belongs to you, 

nothing can change the way

you make my sky so blue.


The words are definitely indelible 

they are  permanent indeed, 

a script of forever love 

beyond all eternity. 


I lost it for a moment 

I thought you didn't care

but no matter the distance

our love can be shared. 




Hold My Hand

 Holding hands 

strolling by the seashore 

kisses sweet that is 

what dreams are for. 


Moon lit path

nothing else matters,

love is here 

that's all we're after.


Stop and stare

gazing into your eyes,

goosebumps follow

under starlit skies.


Magic in the air 

thinking of the love we share,

brings together two souls

in a everlasting hold. 


 Holding hands 

strolling by the seashore 

kisses sweet that is 

what dreams are for.

From Afar

 I took to daydreaming

to bring you close to me, 

as I envisioned your love

as we frolicked by the sea. 


Passion and desire 

and happy as can be,

on the blanket in the sand

just you and me. 


The image a blessing

that soothed this soul of mine

as  I held you close to my heart

bypassing this troubled mind. 


We have come together

though distance dares to part.

as I feel your kisses upon me

and your embrace from afar.

Singing..To Hold My Hand

 I've been running 

though my feet are still, 

can't make it past the 

rivers and the hills.


There are somethings 

that I just wanna say, 

but I don't think it matters

to the ending of the day. 


I thought I had it and

didn't wanna let go,

that something special

that gives us a glow.


You didn't believe

or understand, 

I just needed you 

to hold my hand.


 I've been running 

though my feet are still, 

can't make it past the 

rivers and the hills.

Love

 I measure all of time 

to the moments that I had

once shared with you,

when skies took on a shade

of royal blue. 


The chapter was written

and the pages have all been turned,

there is no looking back at tomorrow

or at the love for which I have yearned.


The final quarter of the game 

it is where the end nears, 

I spent years in hopes 

that the love would fall upon

your ears.


Life

 I don't know just what I'm doing

when everything feels the same,

tear drops keep falling as if 

I was caught up in the rain. 


I quivered at the thought

in my arms you'd lay, 

awake in the dreams

where the darkness fades. 


There the silence breaks 

with whispers in the night, 

if only from you lips 

the words of love delight.

September is the ...


 I hear the crickets

as they sing their song, 

watching the baby deer

as she wanders along. 


Another day in passing

and I was feeling blue, 

as I spent my day 

thinking of you. 


I tried to forget

the print left on my heart, 

as the sun set and the moon 

took it's place in the dark. 


Wondering as I do 

as the tears fall, 

trying to mend 

the break in the hearts

wall. 


Maybe we are  just a moment

that quickly passes away ,

just like the seasons 

leaning on a new day.






Forevermore

 To gift to you the sunrise 

with a kiss in the early morn 

and hold you in my arms 

in an embrace of forevermore. 


Somethings are everlasting

more beautiful with each day 

and other moments are passing

leaving only memories to stay. 


There is a ache in my heart

and a feeling that never fades,

as I review the chapters of

all those yesterdays. 


I lay here thinking of you 

and wondering what could be, 

if you had held my hand 

beyond our dreams.

xo

 I watched as the sun took its place in the sky 

and at that moment realized truth is reality

and the lie is the dream. 

~

When my son broke his arm the doctor said

" don't worry mom he will be stronger where he broke his arm than any other place in his body." I feel that way about the heart...where it is broken it hardens so that you are stronger . It does indeed harden , so much so that you can never quite feel the same kind of love again.  I don't think it's possible to love the same way twice. Maybe we put your guard up as away of protecting ourselves. We can always love again but that magical " in love" If you find it once in a lifetime...


~

There is something about the silence that fine haunting.


~

Once upon a dream..

~

Every story has an ending ...like it or not. 


~

It is impossible to let go... holding on. 


~

We all have a gliche as if life malfunctions. 


~






Happiness

 I think we are a by product of circumstance. 


~

Blah, blah, blah.

~



I get it ...sometimes you just don't know which way you're going. 

~


Happiness is overrated ...because surely you have more to lose. 

~


I admired my grandmother and at a very young age

wondered how she got through life with all the loss. 

~

Love...I never want to feel the pain of loss that great again.


~

I do believe we are a vessel 

on a limited journey.

~


So much ugliness in the world 

that is why I hold onto those special moments.

Yes

 It might be human nature 

the emotions that I feel, 

we all want to be loved

till the earth stands still. 


The sharing of two souls

in away we only can, 

walk me through life 

while holding my hand. 


My needs are simple 

as any need could be, 

to feel your love 

beyond the dreams.
