words of the heart

 Life is choices... I have made the wrong ones more than once.

~

Happiness is meant to be shared, 

sorry we didn't get to share that happiness.

~

One thing is for sure you can't rewrite a chapter.

~

I've learned a lot ...

~

... maybe it wasn't enough.

~

When I was on vacation 

I didn't want to go home.

~

Heartache is a funny thing, 

it never truly fades away.

~

I lost count of my mistakes, 

each would lead me down a different path.

~

I am not sure if was the safe choice 

or the one I was most familiar with.

~

No looking back ...teeny weeny steps ahead.

~

It's in silence that the heart speaks the loudest. 

~

Love and hate duel it out.

New Year

 Another day, another year

what I'd do to just share, 

 good morning kisses

from my lips to yours.

I take the time to pray

as I think of you each day,

wishing and a wanting you

in the most wonderful way.

I hold my pillow close 

dropping petals of a rose, 

as a reminder of the love

I have for you. 

Page Out of My Dreams

 In a world of craziness 

I'm glad that I found you, 

you bring with you a love

that chases away the blue.

I find myself daydreaming

all through the day and night, 

thinking of the magic that

brought my soul back to life.

I really can't explain it though

I have taken many years to try,

a mixture of want and need

just toys with my mind. 

Somethings are deep within

without the ability to fade, 

imprinted on my heart

and to my soul ingrained. 

If the days are shortened

and tomorrow never comes,

remember when two souls bonded

and created the mystery of forever love.

There is no shaking 

what came over me, 

as I feel your presence

like page out of my dreams. 

You alone instilled

 I put the ringer on my finger

and that is where it stays, 

scripted with a few words

a reminder throughout the day.

It is not like I needed to

stir those thoughts of you, 

I laughed at the memories

that bring me close to you.

I believe in energy 

both good and bad, 

but I hold on to yours 

as time is passing fast.

The planets are aligned

and quite visible to see, 

as I gaze upon the heavens

I see you dancing there with me.

You might say I'm dreaming

but the visuals seem so real,

as I feel that something special

that you alone instilled.

Passed Me By

 I would have whispered had

the wind sent my love your way,

from the first moment I was never

ever quite the same. 

If this path was directed by

someone other than me, 

they altered the journey 

along the road to misery.

I hold you in my heart

in the most eternal way, 

I refuse to let you go 

so that is where you'll remain.

The new year is approaching

and a year older am I, 

I spent my life dreaming

while time had passed me by.

Motown Greatest Hits 60's 70's - Marvin Gaye, Al Green,Frank Sinatra,The...

Weep

 

Screams in silence, 

no one can hear, 

from the heart 

the silence reared.

Weeping angels

sacred script, 

from the heavens 

to your lips. 

 It's not what you think, 

can't live on memories, 

you took my heart that day

when you just walked away.

I'll never be the same as I

fell into your game,

what I thought and knew

changes with each day.

~

The planets aligned

like souls when they unite,

interlocking lifelong pieces 

in this circle we call life.

Round and round we go

as we try to understand,

was this an accident or

a part of a greater plan?

There may not be answer

no matter where we look,

for no one wrote the end

in what I call life's book.

~

Blue

 I keep on moving so my mind might stand still as it

 all catches up with me like the water flowing from the well. 

There is no control on the future nor on the past 

it seems as if time is certainly having the last laugh.

I keep on running though my feet are standing still,

trying to break away from the hollow and the hills.

You'd think it would be easy but nevertheless it's not

I'm woven into the tapestry that is filled with knots.

The only thing I can do is change the route

take the path to happiness that can't be bought.

Difficult as it is I keeping running back to you

so that you can replace those gray skies with a 

lovely shade of blue.

Simply Love

 Time gets in the way

passing like drops of rain,

there only so much I can do

and only so much I can say. 

The memories have yet to fade

I can feel and seem them clearly,

I just want you to know that we are

what dreams are made of. 

My heart still feels the ache

nothing can take away these feelings,

if we can live in this world again 

I hope I find you sooner my friend. 

~

I'm happy for the experience

the magic of sweet love, 

from that very first hello

I knew you were the one. 

Time might have an edge

but this much I know is true, 

that we bring the warmth of love

to a world that is sometimes sad

and blue.

~

You can cry for the heartache

of a world in a blanket of grey,

or find that smiles deep inside

have a power in their own way.

I'll keep your memories

and I'll never let them go, 

documented by the heavens

they encourage the love to grow.

~

The empathy for all that we see

struggles on this so-called journey, 

an old soul lost like ship at sea

wishes and a wanting for you and me. 

Maybe we go on searching

through many a life, 

as there is something special 

when things click and feel right.

I just want to tell you

to let you know it is true, 

that we will be together 

your soul and mine about the 

blue.

People go on searching

to find their special one, 

but I found my soul mate

and live within that love. 

Heartache

 I tried to reach you 

to tell you I was here,

but the dream turned to a

frightening and bitter nightmare.

My heart was racing 

I never sensed such fear,

knowing I was all alone and

you were never really here.

It was a bit of Deja vu

as I repeated it once again,

over and over and it always

came to the same end.

I didn't write this story, 

it doesn't come from my pen,

as I would never have written

in this awful end. 

Every day would be sunshine

and gentle blue skies above, 

I'd be forever in your arms 

feeling your sweet love.

There would be no hole

where once held a heart

and there would be no tears

to play their part. 

I woulda held your hand 

I woulda never let go,

but the story was written

in hell long ago. 

It doesn't feel good

this path laughs last,

as it causes a heartache

from that long ago past.

I am trying my best 

to let all of it go, 

but you became a part of me

and today it still shows/

 You haunt my dreams 

so much so that it has become a nightmare.

Spun The Dreams

 The wind blew and

 the sun went down,

the night had followed

with snow to the ground.

It wasn't the want

it was more like need 

that sowed the thoughts

and spun the dreams.

I wanted to tell you

to shout it out loud,

but time had passed

and silence was bound.

No tears had fallen

no words could be heard,

but a hello to the raven and

goodbye blue bird.

 

Living on Memories

 I saw and felt you there 

even though it was a dream,

scrambled a bit was the story

that brought you here to me. 

Agitated and yet peaceful

to share my day with you, 

that I refuse to wake up 

I am just living on memories. 

...and love you I do.

 With family all passed away I find myself holding on to memories. Dad always said, " no goodbyes, I'll be seeing ya." Maybe it's the holidays, the lame holiday movies or the music that has me looking back. Sometimes the holidays bring a sadness of its own. You can't run, you can't hide so you have to face the day. 

I hopped on that passing cloud and

I found I pulled it down to the ground, 

All that left is the foolish dreams 

and your sweet memories. 

From tears to smiles

and smiles to tears, 

as I go about thinking of you

and wondering if you think

of me too?

The snow has fallen

and the hills are dressed in white.

all that I can see and feel 

is your hand in mine. 

I have aged a bit over the years

and still inside feel like I am sixteen,

that feeling you get from falling in love

never leaves this heart and soul of mine.

~

I'll aways love you 

and love you I do, 

the magic that comes

when one and one is 

no longer two.

Place

 There is a place I know is right, 

I think about it day and night. 

Under that star shining bright

is where my life gets its start.

I am lost as lost can be

when you're not here with me,

I find a smile upon my face

as I think about that first day.

"Someone to Watch Over Me" Barbra Streisand

Feelings of Love

 The snow has fallen, 

it now blankets the ground

as the birds have flown south 

and the deer hang around. 

Winter is upon us 

as the darkness has its say, 

I go about daydreaming 

of those bright summer days.

Time is moving quickly 

and older are we, 

but nothing really changes

I love you in every way. 

From day one 

when you first said hello, 

my heart began racing 

as the love continued to grow.

I could send the whispers 

to your ears alone, 

but I doubt that you would hear

as you have let me go. 

I go about the evening 

as I have the night before, 

imagining how different 

life would be from the core. 

I danced in the kitchen

with a smile upon my face, 

as I thought about you 

in my arms each day. 

Foolish might I be 

to want forevermore, 

but one thing is certain

that we never know what's

in store. 

There is no falling asleep

I keep on silly thoughts of love

and the happiness I gathered 

from those passing clouds above.

Many things can leave us

and so much really does, 

but nothing can take away 

these feelings of love. 

 The isolation is a form of protection. 

My Forever belongs to You

 Till the sun no longer shines 

and the wind in all its glory  

fails to brush against my cheek

I will keep close your love. 

The snow blankets the hills

and the darkness rules the day, 

as I close my eyes the visual 

of two souls merging as one appears.

Today, tomorrow and beyond all the time,

like the song yet to be sung 

and the story that we fail to document 

lives on through the celestial heavens.

One star above us shining bright

reveals a kind of magic 

uniting both heart and soul 

of two beings into one. 

This is my forever and my 

forever belongs to you,

Once more I close my eyes

in desperation to see you.

 Another day, the same dream...

My Love

 I don't think this heart of mine is ticking, 

I feel like the stillness that stole the night. 

I've said my goodbyes once to many times

and let the void borrow deep in my mind. 

The challenges of life are many 

time as they say" is passing way to fast"

I shouted out in the night 

in hopes that you just might hear 

the call to you, my love. 

Script of Our Dreams

 I made a promise 

and my promise is real, 

to document the emotions

from the love I feel. 

It brightens my winter

makes each day feel like spring, 

jumped started my heart and 

taught it once more to sing. 

I made a promise 

and my promise is real, 

to document the emotions

from the love I feel. 

I took from the heavens

the script of our dreams 

and with the pen called life

I penned in you and me.

Through The Day

 I didn't go looking

nor did I expect to find,

the magic of our love 

where two souls are 

entwined. 

They call that something

that can't be explained, 

but I call it happiness 

that gets me through the day.

 

Free

 Just a word upon a page 

one story that remains, 

life with you is not a game

it's the path that leads this way.

Like a buoy tossed out at sea

that is what you are to me, 

you calm the very soul 

as you've got this magic hold.

I'll never let you go 

I think by now you must know, 

love likes ours was meant to be

as the sevens sent down this dream. 

Something comes over me 

as if the Lords listened to my plea, 

I won't go till you are in my arms 

and we are dancing under the nightly

stars.

The world has such negativity 

but you and I rise above to see, 

feel my hand reaching out to you

we are closing the gap in the heavens

blue. 

I'll love you till the end of time

the words were written in rhyme, 

documenting what you mean to me

and setting our souls soaring free. 

With Me

 Like the sun you warm my heart

close the distance from a far, 

when I think of you a smile appears

as if our souls connected really are

bonded dear. 

Like the water rushes the rock 

your love created a spark, 

from the moment I felt you here

I knew that you really did care.

I held onto the magic sweet

the way you lift me off my feet,

I refuse to let you go, 

every thought is like a first snow.

It might be the child in me

who still believes in dreams, 

as I close my eyes to sleep

I take with me your memories.

 

Loving you, Loving me

 Loving you, loving me

I give into this dream,

Like our star above 

shouts out about our love. 

Loving you, loving me 

is how it was meant to be, 

I have tried to understand 

but it's all in God's hands. 

Loving you, loving me

and my heart begins to sing, 

as we dance on heavens high

you are in these arms of mine. 

Eternity

 It's a song yet to be sung

unwritten words of love

from the day you said hello

I felt that joy in me grow.

Somethings can't be explained

like rain on a sunny day, 

but this much I do know 

I can't or won't let you go. 

I find a certain amount of peace

just holding on to your memory, 

the bonded visual of two 

from the day I met you. 

Somethings come and go

through acceptance I do know

that you have become a part of me

and that is a glimpse of eternity.

Inside

 Expectations lead to disappointment, 

love finds heartache at the door and 

memories are all that surfaces 

from the dreams of forevermore. 

You promised the pain would fade

that I'd forget how much you mean to me,

as the years have quickly passed on, 

I've found myself living on those dreams.

The tears are stored inside

held back so no one can see, 

I take to my bedroom and

let those tears flow from me.

I know how the clown feels

walking around with a smile,

inside is a forever heartache

that resides deep in me. 

Pain

 The season takes charge

with snow, rain and cold, 

as the darkness moves in 

I'm feeling a bit old. 

But I can't stop thinking

as my thoughts turn to you, 

from the dance in the kitchen

to the city lights blue. 

Somethings are necessarily 

like taking a simple breath, 

but the tears kept on falling

taking me to a deeper depth.

I tried to control it

but the emotions won out,

and I found myself lost

without a doubt. 

The screams are in silence

and no one can hear, 

the pain in my heart 

when you are not here.

 It's the season... that always brings me back to you.

Game

 Life is but a challenge,

some may say it's a game, 

where we are all but pieces

that take on each day.

Some may win or lose

and often do the bow,

but hold your head high

and trick them with a smile.

For joy is truly contagious

I have experienced it along the way,

sing and dance with laughter 

in this life that's called a game.  

Without Song

 You only feel heartache but once,

for harden the heart becomes, 

as a shield of protection is placed

to prevent what once thought of as 

love. 

Foolish are the years 

that had me holding on, 

for I have wasted a lifetime

in a world lost without song.

Lifetime

 I have carried a lifetime

somehow it was tucked inside,

sometimes filled with heartache

that toyed with the mind. 

I saw a new beginning

and I grasped in hopes to find,

a chapter full of happiness 

to replace the tears from inside.

Ship that Sails the Sea

 To each their own story

a book from deep within,

chapter upon chapters

each page a day begins.

Life with many options

the choice is always ours,

from the moment we are born

till we meet our untimely end.

Tears have quickly fallen

emotion packed yet free,

within each tear a trial

like a ship that sails the sea.

magic

 There is no doubt that it's magic,

the love caught me by surprise 

brought all my dreams to life

as I fell deeply for you. 

My world changed forever 

as it lifted me high on the clouds,

we danced closely all around 

sharing moments of love with you.

Part of Me

 They say lost love heals with time

or fades like a past memory or rhyme, 

I found neither to ever be true 

as I feel that same love for you.

You touched that part of me

allowing my soul to soar free, 

to forget would be a painful loss

that kind of love can never be tossed.

I hold it in my heart 

so that you and I will never part,

more than a simple memory

you became a true part of me. 

Me and You

 The music was playing

and my mind raced to you, 

my arms folded against my chest

and I was assured I was dancing 

with you.

It might have been the love song

or the longing here for you, 

but as if magic had empowered

I felt the love between me and you.

From The Heart

 

I won't deny it and 

I can't let it go, 

the love between us 

has that eternal glow.

It brings a smile 

to my face each morn 

as I lay here thinking 

what tomorrow has in store.

It has to be better 

than being alone, 

as I go about dreaming 

what you already know.

I know for certain

those little things we share

come from the heart 

revealing how much you care.

Me and You

 I reached out into the darkness

as I have done many times before, 

desperately trying to hold on 

to that sweet love of yours. 

There are so many chapters

from that very first hello, 

that I find myself wondering

where did the time go. 

 Something is awfully peaceful

in the connection between us two, 

as it comes with complete acceptance 

of the love that grew between me 

and you.

Heart

 Right outside my window 

the moon is full and bright

shining down upon us

while uniting you with me. 

I think about you often

wondering where you are, 

wherever your path leads

with you goes my heart. 

The Closer I Get To You (LYRICS) -Donny Hathaway ft Roberta Flack

Perfect

 When you are loved as much as you love,

cared for as much as you care.

~

Smiles...the magic we possess. 

Trapped

Shorter and shorter 

by circumstance and time, 

looking for that something 

which only exist in the mind. 

No key nor doorknob 

it's all broken at best 

when I tried to open it

another day was put to test. 

~

I had the fondest memory

we were walking side by side,

but the devil still skirted 

he shadowed this rhyme. 

It was a magic 

only time could share, 

as I closed my yes 

to bring you near. 

Death

 Death comes in many forms, 

I have felt it more than once. 

The void that is left behind

darkens with each round. 

The heart no longer beats

and the tears no longer fall, 

the emotions are all but gone

and with them goes the song.

Dream

 My heart led me 

to the heavens above, 

where we danced close

on our very own cloud.

I sensed your heart and soul 

as you have a loving hold, 

pulled me close as two can be

felt your kiss in a dream.

Above

 I feel the magic 

that love can bring, 

I heard the song 

my heart sings. 

Incredible happiness

filled with desire, 

it was always you 

setting my soul afire. 

The darkness quickly faded away

as you are the sunshine in my day,

somethings are truly meant to be

making fall feel like spring.

Whispers to the wind

send my kisses to you my friend,

from day one I felt the love

that taught me to dance on the clouds

above.

Tender

 I looked up at the night sky,

our star was shining bright

and from that very moment

you were not only in my mind. 

The distance between us 

disappeared from sight, 

as I reached out in the darkness

and pulled you to my side. 

I felt the joy and magic 

that only love can bring, 

as there is something special

between you and me. 

It soothes my spirit 

calming sweetly the soul,

with merely a thought of you

I feel your tender hold.

You

 When all that's left is memories 

I find myself living on a dream, 

thinking what could have been 

all that time passed is a sin. 

The leaves have fallen down

and now they blanket the ground,

it is as if the day has died 

I find myself taking a good cry. 

Once more I close my eyes

and it's certainly no surprise,

that in the dark I see

you there dancing with me. 

Arms of Mine

Unlike the seasons 

that come and go, 

life is bases on choices

pointing out the roads. 

It could be I'm missing you,

as I am melancholy as can be.

The darkness moving in 

as a troubled hold on me. 

It's the scream in silence

that no one can hear, 

as I reached into the darkness

and found a wall of fear. 

The wind suddenly danced 

high up in the trees, 

swirling around in circles

I caught a few falling leaves.

My heart is racing 

as a tear falls from my eyes, 

I am caught up in a dream 

that you are in these arms 

of mine.

Bee Gees; Robin Gibb - I Started a Joke - live One for All - 1989

Angel on the Clouds

I struggled with the feelings 

that had come on over me, 

from mere thoughts of you 

first thing in the morning. 

I thought it might be foolish

to always think of you, 

from the moment I wake up

till I am under the stars of blue.

I just can't control 

the way you make me feel, 

like an angel on the clouds

trying to talk out a deal. 

Song

 They say, love and hate draw on the same emotions.  Both emotions mean you care enough to feel. Clearing my mind, like windshield washers on the car. Somehow all the memories come flooded by a simple word, saying, experience, song, dance etc. Even so I can't seem to get past the caring aspect of these emotions. 

I love the experience 

but I hate that you are gone, 

like the sun as it goes down

you feel that somethings wrong. 

Time rules each moment

and I have never said goodbye,

from the darkness in life and

a trial of song. 

My heart

 Lust might be a sin but

love is where life begins,

an experience in caring 

warming my heart from 

within. 

Every day I go about writing,

hoping the words can say,

the feelings from my heart

that just won't go away.

Foolish Love Song

 Coulda redirected the path

rewriting the story a new, 

choice was always there

as my hand reached out to 

you.

I wake up in the morning

to the sweetest memories,

knowing very well just

what you mean to me. 

We can't change the yesterdays

as they are all here and gone,

but my heart still goes on singing

that foolish love song. 

 Cradled by your love 

filled with desire, 

the magic of heart

sets the soul afire. 

Closing my eyes 

just to feel you here, 

taking a deep breath 

with a love to be shared.

The was mighty hard

and the need is almost here,

but as I hold your hand 

I know that you card. 

The visual is sweet

as I see you here with me, 

day and night in all

of my dreams. 

Pulling my blanket close

this much you must know, 

no matter where we are 

we are never ever far. 

Today

 It's not when we are looking

those gifts throughout life, 

that challenge the heart 

and toy with the mind. 

Like a complicated puzzle 

each piece will somehow fit in, 

it's up to us to decide

when and where it all begins. 

Each day added to years

chapters to my own ears,

all of my thoughts are different

not all of them heaven sent.

There is no winning or losing

the experience is always moving,

when you no longer feel the 

emotions have met up with the end.

I've the turned another page 

as if yesterday died in its own way,

cleared the canvas of thought

no more lessons need to be taught.

Waking up to a day that's new and

a sky above that is certainly blue,

there is sunshine here in my heart

I reckon that you played a part.

All of the darkness faded away 

and only the goodness remains,

I said goodbye in my own way

as I begin a new chapter today.

 

Share

 One to many love stories

and one to many dreams,

led me to the heartache 

your absence brings. 

Though grateful am I 

that the experience was had

and I am ever in your debt

though my heart is quite sad. 

The season is in passing 

another day is gone, 

like the feelings in my heart

saying goodbye through song.

It felt a bit like magic

as incredible as it could be, 

the love I shared with you 

and you shared with me. 

Moment in Time

 It's that moment in time, 

where dreams made you mine.

From the moment we met 

it was off with all bets. 

I'll keep those thoughts near

when you and I shared, 

memories of sweet 

that makes me believe. 

It's that moment in time, 

where dreams made you mine.

From the moment we met 

it was off with all bets. 

Song

 Emotions and dreams

hope tomorrow will come, 

feeling and wanting of 

that special kind of love. 

Mountains and rivers

are barriers to overcome, 

but nothing can block 

what was united above.

Mystery and magic

the energy we share,

comes with the knowing

that you really care. 

The day is in passing 

yesterday's long gone,

but the music of life 

fills the life with song. 

Lies

 Up before the sunrise, with thoughts of you on my mind, 

from the moment I awake the emotions of love overtake.

Do I ever cross your mind, or has it passed away with time?

The feelings are surreal in my heart they are sealed. 

No hello or goodbye you just disappear without a sign,

leaving and emptiness inside which troubles the mind. 

So, I must take charge of defending my own heart, 

no longer will I need to hear the lies I once believed.

Reminder

 A glimpse outside your window

and a view of heart and soul, 

a reminder how you took my heart

and made me a loving fool.

The memories never fade

they are clear as clear can be, 

as if they happened yesterday

when you became one with me. 

With Every Beat of My Heart

 Follow the wind 

to the mountains high, 

follow the wind 

as the cloud passes by.

From my soul 

a song is sung, 

from my soul 

to you, my love. 

~

Whispers, I sent the whispers

via the heavens high. 

Dreams, I take to dreams, as long

as the dreams make you mine.

~

I don't need to say I love you,

you know how much I do.

Even though the distance parts

I still feel close to you. 

I don't have to wish

upon the night stars, 

you had my love 

from the very start.

~

Tossing and turning

can't fall asleep tonight, 

you're all that's on my mind

both day and night. 

Tossing and turning,

wishing you were here, 

as I close my eyes and

Betting on Tomorrow

 It could have been magic, 

the way you made me feel

from the moment you said hello

my heart felt an eerie like chill.

I don't know where the tears come from

as you'd think time would have dried them out,

but every single thought of you reminds me

your love I can't live without.

You'd think a heart will heal 

over the many, many years, 

but the love I have for you 

has made things really clear.

I reached out in the darkness

in hoping that you'd be there,

with my head upon my pillow

the loneliness was more than 

I could bare.

Heart and Soul

 Everywhere I go,

I just want you to know, 

that I see you in the heavens

and every love song I hear. 

Simple words of love and

the magic that I feel.

leads me to your arms 

where my soul has made 

a deal. 

Happiness mixed with tears

for dreams are all I have, 

as I think of what we could be

while surfacing from memories.

Tomorrow is just the same

like the storms and rain, 

a season passes by and 

heart feels the same. 

Star in the Sky

 There is a star in the sky

and a dream of you and I, 

the magic of the day 

brings happiness our way.

Dancing in my mind 

there is only you and I, 

as the season comes to an end

so does the chapter my friend.

Hello or Goodbye 

can't stop the hands of time, 

no matter what we do

time rules over the blue.

Still

From my lips the words of love

for those ears of that special one, 

from my heart I send to you

a summer sky of baby blue. 

May you wake up

 early in the morn

and feel the magic that

 rids life of the storms.

Know that I love you

and I always will, 

as you took my heart 

and my life stood still. 

~

The memories flooded

in the most unusual way, 

every thought that came to mind

was unique in its own way.

I could sense your being 

feel you from inside, 

from the moment of hello

you toyed with my mine. 

~

 The songs scrambled in my head

and the words no longer can be read. 

My feet steady on the ground 

there is no more dancing on the clouds. 

The chapter written on love 

has already made its run, 

there is no tomorrow that I can see

if there is no you and me. 

Fantasy or two

 The sun goes down and

no one can be found,

the stars now shine

and I imagine you are 

mine. 

Can it change 

the possibilities remain,

when I think of you 

and what our love can

do. 

Call it wishful thoughts

ones that can't be stopped,

blue skies are all I have 

with those dreams of you. 

Always

 I take with me the dreams,

the visual of our embrace. 

The story of our love 

that in my heart is encased. 

Time has played its part

and distance ruled the day,

as I look back to the moment

that is within me ingrained.

No matter where life leads us

or what path our souls will trail,

you'll always be a part of me

till this heart of mine stands still.

The Season for...

 Daisy petals falling down, 

disappear upon the ground. 

Waiting on another day, 

preferably without the rain.

The soul is weighted down

barely able to rebound, 

the clouds a blanket make

to soothe the internal ache.

It could have been a dream

conjured up by memories,

one by one the visuals pass

leaving a void in mass. 

I saw what sunshine can do 

from the heavens a sky of blue,

the laughter and joy fade

only sorrow remains. 

Heard your voice 

and saw your smile,

I kept it near to 

bridge the miles.

Tears swell and fall

you swam in them all,

the heartbreak never fades

to remain till the end of days.

Who could understand

that this was hell's plan,

time's awkward division 

seems to be the mission. 

Helping Hand

I feel your sorrow, 

I feel your pain, 

I feel your heartache

as If I were standing 

in the rain. 

You were there 

when I needed you,

there to make my sky blue,

there to bring sunshine to the

day.

I don't know what I can do,

reaching out to help you.

Just like you reached out

and helped me. 

Confess

 The tears tell the story

of the pain in the heart, 

buckets of mourning 

in what feels like certain

death.

Gone without a goodbye 

no kiss to leave upon the lips.

The emptiness left inside 

is the void of love I confess.

My Heart

 It seemed to be an ordinary night,

the moon hung outside my window.

The sky was the clearest I ever saw

as the stars could be seen shining bright.

I lay on my bed with my head upon the pillow,

no emotions of happiness nor sadness did I feel.

It was if the pages of life were blank and

no stories were ever written down. 

The pen of life was placed in my hand 

and though so few pages were left,

I knew that I ruled tomorrow and

I scribbled down the words that were

left.

It all seemed a bit needy 

to continue on the same script,

so, I burned all the pages and

wrote down what in my heart is left.

I'll always love you

 Love you, I'll aways love you, 

that's how it is meant to be.

Deams, there is always dreams,

to keep you here close to me. 

Singing, I am always singing 

songs of you and I, 

as I take to the moment 

and hold you close at heart. 

Love you, I'll aways love you, 

that's how it is meant to be.

Deams, there is always dreams,

to keep you here close to me. 

War

 The world in battle between nature and man,

destroys the day in a devilish kind of plan. 

The goodness and kindness need to take a hand

in battling the evil set out by man. 

Wars for nothing but hatred and greed 

as innocent people are killed for nothing. 

I can't imagine how path that many take 

but I pray that show how goodness finds

its way.

~

I know that you're in the war zone, 

the battle for life is near, 

I take to praying for peace 

hoping one day the children can

live without fear. 

The world is quite small,

smaller with each passing day.

Everything that affects you

affects us all in different ways.

We are not very much different,

our hopes and dreams the same.

Living in peace and love 

is the wish for the very same day.

The Season

 The wind against my cheek

and the rain falling down, 

awakened by the season 

I'm soaring off the ground.

The memories are sweet

to my heart a treat, 

as I envision you here

beside me. 

~

 

The Devil

 I tried to reckon with the devil

anticipating he would change the script,

but the distance remains between us

and I can only dream to touch your lips.

The connection is forever

and that sends within me a chill,

knowing there is nothing I can do

that time will ultimately reveal. 

I whisper words of love

and to you my luv I share,

hoping that you will understand

how much I truly care.

I tried to reckon with the devil

anticipating he would change the script,

but the distance remains between us

and I can only dream to touch your lips.

The Song

 When I dream of you

all the stars are ours, 

when I dream of you 

you're never far.

Dancing on the clouds of white

you are in my heart for all of life.

When I dream you 

all the stars are ours,

when I dream of you

you're never far.

Somehow you found your way

and that is how I felt from the first day.

When I dream you 

all the stars are ours,

when I dream of you

you're never far.

The magic of loving embrace

can never be replaced, 

When I dream of you

all the stars are ours,

when I dream of you 

you're never far.

Paralyzed

There is an emptiness inside and

I feel as if a part of me has died,

the world became so small

as I'm surrounded by a wall. 

No push or pull and still

you have that hold, 

paralyzed in away 

that robs me of the day.

I yelled from the hilltop

screamed in silence as well,

my words were misguided

as they reached you.

Haunting

 I have this feeling 

that can't be explained, 

tried over and over but

it feels quite the same. 

It wakes me each morning

and it's there through the day,

when I close my eyes 

the haunting is the same. 

From The First

 No amount of the heaven's stars 

can free the prisoner of the heart, 

as you held me from the first 

and never would we part. 

The words go down in history

of two lost souls 

 simply found each other 

and that's how the stories told.

Sunshine and blue skies

are forever engrained, 

no matter what the day brings

the heavens stay the same. 

Whether you are here or not 

my heart you will have, 

imprisoned on the very day

you took my dreams away. 

You don't have to know

but I'll tell you so, 

the love I have for you 

has yet to let me go. 

You

 Gone without a goodbye, 

I have seen it so many times.

From the day I met you 

I knew just what you'd do.

There is a time and place

for all these dreams laid,

the last is yet to come 

I am betting on another sun.

Summer days are almost gone

as I sit here thinking all alone,

was it choice that led the way

or was this script already in play?

Somethings we'll know

but from the experience we grow,

the stars will soon be in place

as I close my eyes to see your face.

Words of love 

from the heart are sung, 

just one more day

of simply loving you.

Monet

I held my pillow tightly 

and I whispered your name,

as if you could hear me 

like the forest hears the rain. 

It all seemed quite magical

in a simplistic kind of way.

as I closed my eyes once more

and sent my kisses on their way. 

 

The smile replaced the tears

as the memories are in play,

I thought of the time we shared

like a canvas of a rare Monet. 

~

Blue skies and stars bright

I can't seem to sleep tonight,

wishing and wanting just one

moment to hold you here. 

Time is quickly passing 

you won't find me laughing, 

tear drops like rain falls 

with you I'd have it all. 

Distance we're far apart

but still, you have my heart. 

Nothing will change that

that is a matter of fact.

Whispers to the angels above

please send him my love,

let him know I care and 

what I'd do for one more day 

to share. 

~

I am wide awake 

can't seem to fall asleep, 

all I have are memories

that I live on in a dream.

Every single thought

each vision that passes through

all have one thing in common

they filled with my love for you.

~

FEELINGS ( Lyrics ) Morris Albert

The Sea Gives Away

 When the sea gives way 

to the rise of the sun and

the skies of blue celebrate

the finest days of love.

The heart feels anew

with the love I have for you,

my heart races with the wind

as I take on the blue.

Till the moon takes 

its place high in the sky, 

I'll prepare for your arms

in this world of delight.

The stars are magical indeed

joining you here with me, 

they sparkle in the heavens

as we close our eyes to dream.

There is a comfort in knowing

our love was truly meant to be,

the feeling pleasantly eternal 

what comes from memories.

 When the sea gives way 

to the rise of the sun and

the skies of blue celebrate

the finest days of love.

Lost in the Moment

 You refused to catch me 

and I failed to tread, 

as the water was rising

something inside me 

felt dead.

I reached for your hand

and nothing was there,

light went to darkness

and I was overwhelmed 

with fear.

I whispered in song

in hoping you'd hear,

but my voice came back to me

with no one to share.

Trying to move 

but still am I, 

as I lay here dreaming

of you by myside.

It all comes together

like a blur of sort,

a montage in the making

or was it some foolish sport?

There is no one to push

and no one to pull,

my soul feels the emptiness

that made me your fool.

Passing Ships In The Night

 I lay here thinking in the night

as the stars rule the heavens high,

and at that very passing moment 

the thoughts of you entered my mind. 

I wondered if there was a meaning

to the people, place and time,

did it really alter our existence

creating the platform for rhyme?

The emotion has no control here

it's like a blank page in my mind, 

if there is a lesson to be learned here

it's that our existence fades with time.

When one refuses to remember

or acknowledge the importance at hand, 

we are lowered to a mere moment 

like " two ships passing in the night"

I briefly closed my eyes, 

and I whispered all my goodbyes, 

a sense of peace became the blanket

as the loneliness of the night could 

not be denied. 

Take a deep breath and slowly exhale

I questioned was this a beginning or an end?

Does the story have another chapter? Or are

the pages filled without any more entries. 

I don't have all the answers

no matter how much I try, 

I just keep on trying 

to release the troubles in 

my mind.

The road before us 

takes on many a view, 

the hills and bends

travel through grey and blue.

I battle waking up 

without tears in my eyes

as I linger in the moment

when your heart first met

mine.

 

You

 There is only one way to heal

and forgiving is certainly not new, 

as I gaze high upon the heavens 

and realize I am connected to you.

It might only be a page, a chapter or two,

but the story is indelible living on within you.

The journey accumulative as it never fades,

it just welcomes a new chapter in a unique way.

No Two Stories ...

 One moment lay before us, 

the passion that few could understand,

when one soul unites with another 

like the final piece in a puzzle. 

Choice is there to guide us

when fate takes a stand, 

as we pass through the darkness

in someone else's God forsaken 

plan.

To each their own heaven and hell,

the comparison is all that we have

as we turn the page called legacy 

in the book that life commands.

~

Everyone has a story

some are filled with pain,

like the storms of life 

you can feel each drop of rain.

Whose script are we following?

There are too many players to say,

detouring in different directions

we are writing in each step of the 

way.

~

I justify the loneliness

as a shield to protect the soul,

you wouldn't understand 

I had to snip that hold. 

I experienced in the passing

felt the joy for a little while.

as I hold onto the memories

that brought to me a smile.

~

There is an image that I see

as this bridge opened to me 

and I deeply questioned what

 it could possibly all mean.

Should I step across to see

if there's a new beginning for me?

Would I dare to find that hand 

that fits perfectly in mine.

~

Yesterday

 Tea party set upon a box 

 dirt floor and feet without socks,

childhood of yesterday 

with her dolly sits and plays. 

Goodbye to all 

didn't know the rain would fall, 

a story comes to an end

memories on the mend.

In his arms as he sang

haunting to this very day, 

an image I hold dear

with the heavens I share.

Calendar ...

 On this journey of life

somethings don't feel right, 

all the hello and goodbyes

messes with the mind. 

Maybe that is what we do

experience the grays and blue, 

learning what life has to give

while we try to live. 

Forward we must go 

that is all I really know,

the past is all but gone 

and all that left is an old song.

Yesterday

 Only to free the soul and

unleash your foolish hold, 

yesterday is all but gone

and took with it the song.

No voice in the night

the silence is hard to fight,

sorrow has found a way 

to master both night and day.

~

I had no chance to say goodbye

angels weeping from up high, 

take good care of the lost souls

and help them find the way.

Something happened from inside

I thought I had lost my mind, 

the world has changed a lot 

and then again not changed at all.

~

Words are easy they say

but actions rule the day,

like memories of ole 

a story remains. 

Something happened to me

I am not the same as I use to be,

older, wiser you might say 

or just on guard in a leery way.

No tears behind these eyes

I can no longer cry, 

as the emptiness inside 

has felt as something died. 

No Goodbye

 Hot summer days, 

dreams that find their way, 

blue skies without a cloud 

and memories that never fade.

Left with no goodbye,

a void remains inside.

Chapters that never close

let's burn those pages of life.

Starting a new

that's what survival 

will have us do, 

as I move ahead.

Lessons

 Unraveled emotions 

is it out of want or need?

The feelings that rule the day

and my nightly dreams. 

Heavens stars shining bright above

reflecting on the souls in love.

It is a page in this chapter of life

a lesson to be learned don't always 

feel right.

Sometimes it's a day, month or year

the crossing paths of two hearts that share,

some would call it baggage on this path of life

but I call it experience leading to the love of

my life. 

Memory

 Caught in the storms of life, 

till I reached for your hand 

and it make everything feel

so wonderful and right. 

This is my greatest escape 

to the heavens we quickly soar

in our very own magical way

loving each other day after day. 

Holding your memory 

that is what I do, 

as I close my eyes and 

visualize you.

Somethings are meant to be

that is why our paths had crossed,

like souls searching endlessly

till they bonded in what seems like

a dream.

The Heavens

 To the heavens and the stars above

I escape on the tail of your sweet love,

Joy and happiness found in your embrace

as I dance in your arms day after day.

Darkness finds itself in the world

but you are the light where love is revealed.

Whenever sorrow finds a place in the day

I close my arms and in your arms I lay.

In Love

 ...It's when you get that far away look. 

~

When the spark becomes fireworks.

~

Passion, desire and happiness and that simple hello that lifts your feet off the ground.

~

You don't know what it is until you experience it and then you are aware that there are many varieties of love.

~

Loving with all your heart despite...

~

When forever and always takes on a whole new meaning.

~

Sometimes we can love many people 

but you only fall in love once.

~

When you least expect it. 

~

I always call it Krazy with a K because everyone has a little crazy in them.

~

When both people are on the forever page that is indeed in love.

~

When I wake up and when I go to sleep...it is always you.

~

Happy 4th of July

 Your hand in mine...fireworks in the making. 

~

I feel your energy... like stars colliding.

~

The magic of love is what brings us back to life.

~

Love you more ...magic 

~

Dancing on clouds is amazing but 

nothing compares to dancing with you.

~

You make me feel alive.

~

I love you beyond the beyond to all ends of the galaxies.

~

With you I am everything and then some. 

~

Tears of emotion are filled full of happiness 

~

Vulnerable is allowing another person to hold the key.

~

With you every day is a holiday,

as we celebrate love.

Goodbye

Rattled Thoughts

It always comes back to "reaching for your hand"

~

Overly run by emotion can be seen as a flaw.

~

I had wondered if life was predetermined 

until I stumbled over choice.

~

Life energy is a soul in quest.

~

It always comes back to you...

~

Like the petals of a rose life is fleeting.

~

We are always writing another chapter

that is the power of choice. 

~

One person's right is another person's wrong

depending on how you digest the moment. 

~

Love is magical 

~

We can't skip chapters no matter how much we try.

~

War is a stain on humanity.

~

We are unique to our own journey.

~

We are not much different than other animals

to think so spins a false narrative. 

~

Moving mountains and bridging rivers

is hope on steroids. 

~

When needs and wants far outweigh reality

is called fantasy at its best. 

~

Poetry is a moment in a day. 

~

I tried to get away

almost made it that day,

survival comes in many forms

to take on any kind of storm.

It might have been the time

when hearts and souls align, 

removing all the barriers 

is written in from design.

~

I don't see sorrow 

no skies of grey, 

no mistake made

and leading me your

 way.

I'm betting on sunshine, 

holding on to the blue

as I go about dreaming

of the love I have for you. 

My Special Angel

Bobby Helms - My Special Angel

Think of Me

 Think of me, whether its rain or shine, 

think of me, I think of you all the time. 

Think of me and I'll know it's true that

we're under the same sky of blue. 

Dream of me, morning and night, dream of me,

I'm dreaming of you all day and night,

when I wake up early each morning and ready

myself to sleep, I prepare for the dreams by 

thinking of you and me.

 Think of me, whether its rain or shine, 

think of me, I think of you all the time. 

Think of me and I'll know it's true that

we're under the same sky of blue. 

Powerful

 How easy life can change

to darken the brightest day, 

taking away our sunshine 

and bringing skies of gray. 

Wary hearts and souls

feel the eerie cold,

reaching out to touch 

a more positive hold. 

Somethings are meaningless

as the possessions we hold, 

but love is more powerful 

and cannot be controlled.

War

 In this world of sadness

where the pain of war survives,

the devil takes the lead and

dances closely with time. 

The good is quickly forgotten

replaced by all that evil can do,

when greed and hate surface

the flames of darkness brew. 

~

I gave the human race more credit 

but no better than the ants are we,

still fighting all the lost battles 

as the powerful cannot agree. 

I weep for all mankind 

as they still have not learned,

that only the devil wins 

in the scourge of war.

~

One blue sky above us, as we

share in the same passing clouds

but the view is mighty different

depending on where your feet 

touch the ground. 

Empathy acknowledges the pain

but there is so little we can do,

 I pray the sun shines down on you

and brings peace in your sky of blue.

 

Fox

 You can't get around it 

when the fox is in the yard,

chasing all the chickens and

looking out for more. 

They call him sly for a reason

as he watches all we do, 

till the next predators comes along

and erases that sky of blue.

Locked

 Open the gates to the memories 

the flash a flood washes over the mind, 

I see life in various forms 

as I wonder just what tomorrow has 

in store. 

Our wants and needs are many 

and the road takes many a turn, 

looking for the right direction 

that leads me to your door. 

No sorrow or heartbreak, 

no tears from these eyes of mine,

I have wasted so many years 

on a path that had me walking

blind. 

There is a haunt from silence

a stillness that can't be explained,

I quickly close my eyes 

and envision your hand locked 

in mine.

In Your Eyes

 I saw the truth in your eyes and

 felt the magic of you by myside,

Loving you as you love me 

that is how it's meant to be. 

The magnet so strong it pulled me in

and that is how our story first began,

magical indeed it placed me the dream

and there is where our souls were first

set free.

 I saw the truth in your eyes and

 felt the magic of you by myside,

Loving you as you love me 

that is how it's meant to be

Red Winged Black Bird

I watched the red wing black bird,

he seemed not to be afraid of me,

coming daily to the feeder and

taking corn back to his sweety.

There is a lot that nature teaches

from the beauty the season brings, 

each moment comes with a lesson

that taught me not to take for granted

anything.

I see the gift you have brought me

the happiness and love within me, 

from the moment you appeared

I knew this was more than a dream.

The world is filled with beauty

such that few people will ever see,

might it be their heart was never touched

in a way that would allow them to see. 

I am grateful for all we share

like a fairytale right out of my dreams,

from the moment I felt your love 

I knew that something special had come

over me. 

Our Story

 Early morning before the sunrise, 

thoughts of you catch me by surprise.

Happiness the whole day through 

just thinking of ways to love you.

You're my king and I'm your queen

in this world made from dreams, 

Pleasures that only we can share

reveals that you truly care. 

Hello

 You make the sun a little brighter

and the sky a clear and royal blue,

as I skip through the flower garden

deep in thought of me and you. 

My heart is beating faster 

as I am lifted to the heavens high,

in that cloud dance created by 

the love we share from inside. 

You make the sun a little brighter 

and the sky a clear and royal blue, 

as I skip through the flower garden

deep in thought of me with you. 

One word shared between two 

a simple hello from me to you, 

The years are passing as they do

but I am holding on to the moment

I fell in love with you. 

Shattered Glass

 There are no words to ease the comfort

of this heart that's broken in two, 

I've died over a thousand times 

with every thought of you. 

Nothing can change the way I feel,

until every beat of my heart is still. 

I race with time hoping that I'd forget

to find a pool of tears that has me 

soaking wet. 

The memories are overwhelming 

and I don't know what to do, 

as all the haunting daydreams 

are consumed with you. 

~

Running, running, running

though my feet are standing still, 

running, running, running 

everything is a mountain or hill.

Can't compare the pain 

in this everyday world 

for everything is different 

and this is how I feel. 

~

RAY CHARLES SINGERS - LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART 1964

Until I

 The rain is falling 

the sky darkened and gray, 

as my thoughts break the silence

in a melancholy way. 

The thoughts of you are running

like a racehorse through my mind,

bringing with them mixed signals 

that haven't fade through time. 

It's a spell that can't be broken

no matter how much I try, 

for you are a part of me 

and with me till I die. 

Memories

 Haunted by memories as the pain never fades, 

 minute to minute, day upon days. 

Can't remove them nor wish them away 

scripted within the thoughts remain. 

One page or a chapter the story be told

how a day in a life can have such a hold. 

Reviewed over a thousand times the

painful memories never leave the mind.

One

 We can only be responsible

for our actions and what we feel,

the one-way road followed 

has its own curves and hills. 

Goodbyes might be appropriate

to turn the pages of life, 

as I can only tell the story 

from this here side. 

Another day of rain 

washes down upon the earth,

but nothing can cleanse the heart 

from the memories that were birthed.

No more tears are falling 

nor ache in the heart,

for the mirrors reflection

reveals one departs. 

Just You and I

 ... 

Wonder

 I keep on moving, 

spinning fast around, 

trying not to stop 

from the heavens down. 

When idle I am lonely

and quite sad and blue, 

as I wonder if you ever

think of me too. 

~

Just A Dream

 I spend my day 

dreaming of you, 

to bring you closer

and make my sky blue. 

Don't know what you think,

at this moment who cares?

While time marches on 

without a day to spare. 

I once believed in the words,

a legacy of sort in forever years.

The sun will keep shining and the

sky remains blue, even though it's me

without you. 

Just a dream to bring you here,

a vision of love two hearts shared.

Though all comes to an end 

my love and my friend. 

No tears fall 

though these eyes of mine cry, 

as I go about dreaming 

of a life with you by myside.

I don't think you ever understood

how much I needed what time took,

I have to be grateful for all we had

it created the memories and for that

I am glad.

Memories

 I keep reliving the moment

you first said hello to me, 

held my hand and kissed me

as it felt like it was a dream. 

The emotions are overwhelming

as the tears flow down my cheek,

laying here with your memory 

makes me feel a little weak. 

I can't even explain it 

the way you make me feel, 

it's as if you took the moment

and somehow made it stand still.

The days are meaningless

they all run into one,

as nothing can compare

with the feelings of love.

My head upon the pillow

as I lay here in your dream,

reliving the memories 

that taught my heart to sing.

Help Me Make It Through The Night by Willie Nelson - 1980 (with lyrics)

Kris Kristofferson, Help me make it through the night

James Brown - I Feel Good

Star in the Sky

 There is a star in the sky 

it has your name next to mine,

brings a smile to my face as

I gaze on up to the heavens high.

I know that this is real 

these emotions that I feel, 

as loving you is the best thing

that happened to me. 

 There is a star in the sky 

it has your name next to mine,

with the words of forevermore 

written to I love you.

Sings

 Love you, I'll always love you 

want you ...my forevermore. 

Dreaming, I just might be dreaming

to think that you want me too. 

Wishing...I keep on wishing 

for something that will never be, 

foolish, oh so foolish to think

you loved me. 

 Love you, I'll always love you 

want you ...my forevermore. 

Dreaming, I just might be dreaming

to think that you want me too. 

Tom Jones - I'll Never Fall In Love Again (1967)

Lesson

 I accepted this life 

for what it can bring, 

chapters written 

stored in my memories. 

Some are filled with sorrow

that never fades away and

the happiness I hang on to

gets me through the day.

I'll never quite understand as

the game was not in the plan,

I let my guard down and 

you found your way in. 

Nothing can replace

or take the place of you.

no matter how I try 

I am trapped in those days

with you.

It is a lesson 

on how heartache feels,

the coming together and

breaking down the shield.

~

That feeling of running

when your feet are standing still, 

the emotions within that never

seem to heal. 

I needed the courage 

to stand alone, 

but wanted you 

no matter where I'd go.

Days became years and still

 I stood on the path of fear,

wanting to get away and 

make my life anew.

I just kept reaching 

out for your hand 

and the sadness moment

was when I realized you 

didn't understand.

It was a blend of want and need

that found me begging on my knees,

you'd think the tears would no longer fall

and I'd be over this once and for all. 

Just a Day

 Complete her sentence

and feel his energy, 

connected by the heavens

both heart and soul. 

One to one 

within the dreams, 

the thoughts consume me,

is it want or is it need?

Different people, different times

conjured up through the rhymes,

the treasures quickly unfold 

more valuable than gold.

Time has passed

with endless song, 

yet silence dwells 

amongst the wrong. 

Not enough to see it through

reveals what it means to you,

foolish, silly just a game

a recording of another day.

1958 HITS ARCHIVE: For Your Love - Ed Townsend

For Your Love

Yours and Mine

 Life takes on different views

depending on where you are, 

in the third quarter of life 

I see through your heart and mine. 

What mattered doesn't at all 

those foolish tears no longer fall, 

what I didn't give a thought to

now matters most of all.

Leaving behind the dreams

walking forward with memories,

from this day on, I'm singing 

 our sweet love song. 

Silly dancing in my mind

as I know there is not much time,

sometimes there is no goodbyes

but you know it deep inside. 

 Life takes on different views

depending on where you are, 

in the third quarter of this life 

I see through your heart and mine.

 

Our World

 The sun keeps on shining 

the stream to the river flows,

as the world keeps on turning 

and my love for you grows.

Another year in passing 

the seasons race on by, 

if only I could hold still 

just one moment of time. 

I'd have you here beside me

I wouldn't waste it at all, 

just to make you happy 

I believe is my life's call. 

The world is filled with evil

heartache and tears, 

but in our world of love 

only kindness is shared.

Melancholy

 It could have been different

the path we chose to take, 

a different kind of world 

from the moment we awake.

No use in feeling Melancholy

the blues have nothing over us, 

for you will always be the sunshine

free of any sort of fuss.

There is a song in the air 

that only soul can recognize

spirited and magical 

it caught me by surprise.

I listened rather closely 

as my feet floated off the ground,

I reviewed all the memories 

and nothing could hold me down.

Grateful is this heart 

for knowing you is grand

I wouldn't change a thing 

to alter God's plan.

There is lesson to be learned

in all we say and do, 

I am sure that is why the Lord

had me collided into you.

If these days are the last 

in this quarter of life, 

I am happy I experienced 

the joys that feel so right.

Loving you is magical

like our star above 

had me falling deeply

in love with you.

There are so many ways

that a person can share love

that I'm so grateful

that our souls united as one.

Met mine...

To hold your hand 

and kiss your lips, 

feel the magic sweet

before it vanishes. 

I close my eyes 

to relive the dream, 

where I see you 

right next to me. 

Rainbows rule the sky

in hues that tease the mind.

The rain still falling down

as my feet lift off the ground.

The senses loft in peace

as I fall to my knees, 

I thank the Lord for the time,

when your heart first met mine.

This thing we call...

 They say," everyone has at least one good story." Some of us have a few. 

~

What I have learned over the years, that love comes in various forms. It can be born from either a want or a need and can flourish from the simplicity of caring or the passion of desire. The rarity comes when two people feel love on the identical plane. I call that the fireworks stage or the magic. I am not sure it exists but if it does it very, very rare. Emotions or the feelings that control one person's heart doesn't all control another. I have had the rare pleasure to meet a variety of people, and each revealed their similarity and differences of this thing we call love. 

The needs were very simple

I wanted it to be so, 

reaching through the waters

as I felt you let me go. 

I gasped as I struggled

trying to understand, 

our needs were very different

as I stumbled in someone elses

plan.

Mine

 Rose petals fall 

unused crystal says it all, 

when I think of you 

my skies are no longer blue.

The battle is not at will 

of the emotions that I feel, 

like a cloud of my very own

the emotion just won't let go. 

I sit here all alone

gazing at the midnight glow, 

thinking of those yesterdays 

and the decisions that were made.

Regret has no place 

only love is on display, 

from my heart to you

I send my love true. 

The eyes no longer tear

though you're not here to share,

this quarter of life 

just doesn't feel right.

Documented day by day

like a story written in the rain, 

a storm or two 

and the clouds of grey grew.

So, I say by goodbye 

as if something inside me died,

nothing stays the same 

maybe I was pawn in your game.

Sometimes I just can't see

as if blocked by a forest of trees, 

once more I take this time 

to dreams the dreams that make

you mine.

Never Imagined

 Confusing are the emotions, 

and quite troubling indeed, 

as I question the feelings 

that fail to release. 

The desire to share 

in all we say and do, 

goodnight and good morning

as I wake up next to you.

Might be foolishness 

to want what's in a dream, 

or down right ignorance 

as I hold on to your memory.

I thought about my grandmother 

and all the time's she said goodbye

to those she loved dearly that

were no longer by her side.

I never imagined 

the experience of time,

would find me in that place

where sorrow meets goodbye.

The world and all its negativity

weighs heavily on the soul,

that is why I gaze to the heavens

to free the troubling hold.

This love is quite different

than anyone could no, 

as it was seeded in my heart

and it continues to grow.

The tears upon my pillow

are for all that will not be, 

as I go about daydreaming

of what you mean to me. 

Daydream

 Capturing yesterday is an impossible feat.

~

The view through the heart is pure trickery.

~

Blinded by our desire. 

~

..too many pillows. 

~

Morning Thoughts

 I always tried to stay away from politics...

but there are no winners in a war.

~

First and last thought of the day...

is much better as I'm thinking of you. 

~

I know why they call her mother nature, 

as the temperature raises to 85 F

to drop down into 26F the same day.

~

Chickens that don't fly are easy victims to predators. 

Moral to the story, know when to fly. 

~

Every story comes to ....the end. 

~

Tail end of the 3rd quarter and not looking 

forward to the fourth.

~

Once upon a ...the end.

~

~

Life is trial and error, 

sometimes we have to keep trying until we get it right.

~

Beautiful dreams bring me ever close to you.

~

Just one dance and I would have surely experienced heaven.

~

(HD 720p) Al di là (Beyond the Beyond), Emilio Pericoli

Weep Not

Life and time a limited presence upon the earth, 

as forever is a concept created to soothe the soul.

Weep not for we have no control of the inevitable

for there are more goodbyes than hello. 

Shield what little is left of the heart 

placing the barriers and distancing oneself. 

Isolation is a form of protection created 

like the final page in a book. 

 One soul, soars and falls alone. 

 

2022 Hope and Faith

 Wow!! I can't believe I have made it to another spring. Pandemics, wars, natural disasters. I think not watching the news is a good thing. You know as they say, "ignorance is bliss." I watched as my grandson who is a year and a half as he played in the straw trying to find the Easter eggs I had hidden. I couldn't help but think, what kind of world are we leaving behind? The simplicity of childhood, when you don't get your way you just cry. I think he enjoyed the straw more than finding the eggs. It sure made for a nice day and nice memories. Nothing ever really turns out the way you expect. I find myself often retreating to the bedroom, daydreaming, thinking of you and wondering how you are.  But then it makes you think wow!! life is really short, and I spent a good bit of it daydreaming. I am caught up in one of those moments," what is ...is " can't change" what is" factor. So, as they say... "one day at a time." I lay here not able to fall asleep. It is one of those moments when all the experiences of life flash before you. Ok well not all of them a few of the amazing and a few of the troubling ones. So many goodbyes, a few hellos.  I prefer the hellos much more pleasant.  lol It must be the full moon, closer to earth it appears so much larger and then my eyes travels to the stars. Thinking of our star. brings soft smile to my face. You know they say sometimes " life could be worse." I don't want to know worse. The fox who must know my every movement and schedule, realized I wasn't out early in the morning to tend to my chickens. He managed to kill half the flock in mere minutes. I wouldn't have minded so much if he took a chicken, but he seems to kill just to kill. Ah that sounds a little bit like humans, killing for the sake of killing. I woke up because the dogs were barking. They are getting old and lazy. Don't keep an ear open for the sound of the fox anymore and yet they still bark at the wind. It brings me to killing. No matter whether you believe in religion, God or not, you have to admit good, and evil exist.  I was quite young when I became aware of the wrongs in the world. The first memory was the assassination of John F Kennedy and the Vietnam war. The Vietnam war seem to have the most affect as many of the men drafted came from the neighborhood and even closer as my brother was drafted. I remember writing him letters and receiving his in return. There have been wars since, but the Vietnam war seemed even more senseless if one more war could be more senseless than another. Because it is true there are no winners in a war. It is just men and women giving of their life for a reason their government claims necessary. The worst thing about war is that some soldiers come home in boxes, some don't come home at all and those who do are wounded physically or mentally.  Yet here we find ourselves at the start of a world war. Countries taking sides and everyday people dying for no damn good reason.  It is raining .. the old April showers brings May flowers. But I know I am getting older because the rain gives me a reminder of achy joints. The pandemic has me on house arrest and I think wow for two years I have spent in the hollow. Kind of reminds me before I got my drivers license and every day felt like house arrest. I think I have adjusted to being alone.  I have done some reading, gardening , tending to chickens etc. Peaceful in its own way. Listening to the water trickle over the rocks , I think to myself wish you were here sitting beside me ... my head on your shoulder. I'll end this on a good note with thoughts of you. xo

I closed my eyes 

and the brook whined 

as I listened to the water

rushing over the rock. 

The moon closer to the earth 

seemed fuller than the day before,

as the beams were shining down

revealing a new night in store. 

The days have gone by 

as I've lost all track of time, 

and the rainbows of live

tell a story that makes you mine. 

Sleepless Night

 Right and wrong is interchangeable.

~

There is what I think and what you think.

~

Prison is not that of chains

nor is it what locks the flesh, 

the confinement of the soul

builds barriers of the mind.

~

Lifetime of experience reveals

that circumstance lays the ground work 

but choice is inevitably the final conquest.

~

I use to love spring

as I thought of it as a beginning,

but it is a season in turmoil.

~

...everything ends.

~

Isolation comes with its own reward.

~

They say that love and hate are not so far apart.

 Both are overflowing with emotion. 

~

Love is overrated... it only works when two people feel the same way.

I am not sure that exist because no two minds are the same..

~

If tomorrow never comes , 

I am okay with that. 

`

True

 In a world filled with craziness

where man and nature destroy, 

I'm glad that I can find a place

that is loved filled with joy.

It brings a smile to my face

and a warmth to my heart,

with every thought of you 

my life feels as if it restarts.

It's just a dream away 

as I close my eyes and 

you are here each day in a

wonderfully, magical way.

~

Dreams that Never Fade

 Stars in the heavens bright

guide me through the night,

a path of love that leads 

me directly to you.

I don't care what "they" say

who are" they" anyway?

I spent my whole life loving 

from the moment I met you. 

In my dreams night and day

the passion never fades, 

gets me where I need to be

in those arms of yours.

Full Swing

 Caught up in the fickle

months of spring, 

a mix of rain and snow

are all in full swing. 

Lacking a bit of sunshine, 

I find I 'm caught up in a rhyme, 

a mix of sorrow and melancholy blues

as I retreat to the bedroom thinking

of you.
